THE FIGHT.

In the first round the blacksmith was floored from the scratch
by a heavy hit under the lug, but he took it quietly, shook his
head, and proved himself undeniable.
2. The smith fought at a disadvantage, three parts upon the
dorse, and claret was drawn from the nob, until it was 'evident
he was careless about it. Courage upheld the frame, and a
right hand belly go set the farmer squeamish, and reduced the
battle to something near a certainty.
Much hard hitting took place in the four subsequent rounds
in favour of the smith, but he received a heavy cross-buttock-
ing throw in the 6th round, which stopped him a bit.
The 7th and Bth rounds were tame, compared with what had
happened. The men were tired, and nothing but goodness
prompted them on. 'Weston was floored in the last of the two
rounds.
The 9th round won the fight for Flowers. A chance right-
handed blow set the farmer's head upon the roll, and sensibi-
lity had bolted away from him with a broken jaw to boot.
It was altogether a very manly fight, and blood and bustle
kept about equal pace.

Randall, it is said, has a rod in pickle for Neale, the Streatham
youth, in the person of Dan Kerwin, an Irish lad. Jack Ran -
dall says he means it, and the friends of Neale may be accom-
modated with thirty or fifty sovereigns, by just leaving the
blunt with him. Neither Walker nor Lumley are to gammon
or to buff in this match.
WARD (THE BLACK DIAMOND) AND ABBOTT.—This
match for 50 sovereigns a side, was knocked up at St. Alban's,
after the fight between Barlow and Hudson, for Ward and
Abbott to contend on the 22d of October ; the latter hero de-
feated Oliver and the Birmingham Youth, and is the favourite
on the present occasion.
The friends of York, it seems, are not satisfied of his capa-
bilities. and assert that he was defeated without having an op.
portunity of proving his qualifications they have accordingly
matched Barlow for another trial against Ward, for 1001., to
fight in the same ring after Martin and Randall.

THE LATE DREADFUL DISASTER ON THE RIVER.
—The bodies of two of the much-lamented sufferers in the me-
lancholy catastrophe on Sunday have been picked up. That of
Capt. Devereux, of the Success, was found on Tuesday, near the
place where the sad accident happened, and was conveyed to
Ballyhack, whence it was yesterday morning removed for inter-
ment to Wexford, the place of his nativity, where his widowed
mother, sisters, and other relatives reside. The body of Mr.'
Henry Smith was taken up yesterday evening near Cape
Cooneen, and brought to the residence of his afflicted parents,
in Rose-lane. The sorrowing relatives of Mr. Moses Deve-
reux and his brother are still without the melancholy consola-
tion of recovering their remains ; but from the exertions mak-
ing, it is hoped that they cannot long remain undiscovered.—
Many of our fellow-citizens have expressed an intention. of
manifesting-their respect for the memory of these deeply-re-
gretted young gentlemen, and their sympathy for the agonized
feelings of their families, by attending their respective funerals
in hat-bands and scarves. The remains of Mr. Smith will be
taken out for interment at five o'clock this afternoon.—(Wa-
terford Chronicle, Sept. 11.)
THE ADVANTAGES OF INDUSTRY.—Between
'eight and nine o'clock, on Saturday night, as Mrs. Morgan,
of No. d, Francis-street, Gray's Inn-lane, was going through
Fleet-market, she was surrounded by our or five fellows,
who hustled her' about ; on extricating herself, she ma-
mined her pockets, and found she had been robbed of a
sovereign, some silver, a number of pawnbrokers' dupli-
cates for silver spoons, gold rings, and other articles of value.
About eight o'clock yesterday morning she proceeded to the
different pawnbrokers, for the purpose of stopping them.
The first pawn-broker's she went to was Mr. Turner, of
Brydges-street, Covent-Garden, where she was informed the
articles she came to stop were just redeemed by a man.—
She then proceeded to the shop of another pawn-broker, in
Long-acre, and there she was informed that the man who
redeemed the articles had not five minutes left the shop.—
She then made all the haste sh.e could to another pawn-
broker's, in Gray's Inn-lane, for the same purpose, and
' there she had better success, for the villain was at the time
in one of the private boxes, releasing four table-spoons. He
was detained, and Mr. Blake, a cunstable, was sent for, to
whom he was given in charge. On being searched , four
silver table-spoons, two silver dessert spoons, six silver tea-
spoons, a silver sugar-loop, several gold finger and 'ear-
rings, and other articles, the property of Mrs. Morgan,
which he had released orn the other pawnbrokers, .were
found upon him, besides four other duplicates,
,part of
those stolen from Mrs. Morgan ; lie had besides 31. 12s.
about him. Blake conducted him to the Police-office, Hat-
ton-garden, where he gave his name, Edward Sta.telicm,
and said he got his living by selling apples, at the corner of
Stonecutter-street, Fleet-market. Mrs. Morgan identified him
as one of the gang who kept hustling her.—The offence being
committed in the City, the prisoner was ordered to be taken to
Guildhall, before the sitting Alderman.
On Tuesday the 3d inst.., Luke Garton, water-
carrier, was convicted at Sculcoates Public Hall, in the penalty
of 51., which was mitigated to one guinea and Costs, for the
cruel treatment of his own mare, through the nose of which an
iron ring was fixed, with a cord attached to it. The inforniation
was laid by.a commercial traveller, and the conviction teak
place under Mr. Martin's Act for the prevention of improper
treatment and cruelty to animals.—( Lincoln Mercury.)
ATTEMPT AT 'SUICIDE IN NEIVGATE.— Yester,
day evening, abuut 6 o'clock, Mr. WONTNER was
sent for out of. the Sessions-House, and informed
that one of the prisoners had made an atteinpt
on his. life. That Gentleman instantly repaired.
to the prison, and found that a man had made
what -appeared to be a deep incision on his throat
with some sharp instrument. The unhappy man
was lying on a bed bleeding. Surgical assistance
was immediately rendered, when on examination
it turned out that the incision was little more
than skin-deep. The wound was inflicted with a
razor ; he is likely to do well.
Thursday morning last, a fatal accident befel
Miss LEYLAND, an elderly maiden lady, residing
in Islington, near Manchester. She was upon a
visit at the house of Mr. llampson, of Ratcliffe,
and was proceeding thence in a cart to pay .a
visit to the Rev. Thomas Parkinson, of Radcliffe
Hall, when the wheel unfortunately came in con-
tact with.that of another cart, belonging to Mr.
Bealey,r.the bleacher ; in consequence of which
the vehicle in which Miss Leyland rode was
overturned, and she was killed upon the spot.
