Tho' the battles of Cribb, and the Gas-light man,
Dutch Sam, and the rest of the Fancy clan,
Were wond'rous severe, no doubt, in their day,
Yet what were they all but mere child's play,
Compared to the tierce pugilistic fray
That occurred in St. Stephen's Hall of glory,
On Thursday last, between Whig and Tory ?
Whig's Second was Dan, and Tory's, the silly
Man vot drives the Derby Dilly ;
Both had their backers ; at Brookes's Club,
'Twas betted that Whig would Tory drub ;
While at White's, the odds were three to two
That Tory would beat Whig black and blue,
Though when both men peeled, 'twas seen at a glance
That ill-trained Tory had scarce a chance.

Oh, the battle was fierce, as fierce could be,
And fought by Whig most skilfully ;
He first made play by letting fly
A left-hand teazer at Tory's eye ;
Then he tapped his claret, his mug he rent,
And made him so groggy with punishment,
That he stared like one bereft of hopes,
And dropped, like a shot, against the ropes.
Loud—loud, meanwhile, on the game-cock's ears,
Rose his sanguine Second's friendly cheers,
" Any odds on Whig, the Fancy's Pet !"
But devil a soul would take the bet ;
In vain the Dilly driver, he
Planted his man upon his knee ;
In vain strove hard to cheer and pat him,
With " Now's your time, lad, up and at him,"
'Twas idle all, his well-meant boast
Fell upon ears as deaf as a post;
Poor Tory could not come to time,
And it's my belief (though told in rhyme),
When I bear in mind this famous match,
He'll never again come up to the scratch.

COURT CIRCULAR.

His Majesty held a Court yesterday at St. James's to re
ceive the Address from the House of Lords. _ _

The, Lord Chancellor arrived in state at the Palace soon
after two o'clock. His Lordship was accompanied by the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Hereford and Chi-
chester, the Dukes of Leinster, Norfolk, and Richmond, and
the Earl of Burlington, and was attended by the Clerk As-
sistant of the Parliament, the Gentleman Usher of the Black
Rod, and other officers of the House of Peers.

The Deputation were ushered through the State Rooms
into the Throne Room, and advanced to the foot of the
Throne between the ranks of his Majesty's Hon. Corps of Gen-
tlemen at Arms, the Duke of Leinster, mover of the Address,
standing on the right of the Lord Chancellor, and the Earl of
Burlington, seconder of the Address, on his left. The King
was attended by some of the Cabinet Ministers, the Great
Officers of State, and the officers of the Household.
The Lord Chancellor then read the Address, to which his
Majesty was pleased to return a gracious answer. The mover
and seconder had the honour of kissing hands, and the depu-
tation withdrew. _ _

The King, as Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the
Garter, afterwards held a Chapter of the Order.
The Knights Companions were robed in their splendid man-

The Knights were then ushered to the presence of the So-

the Knights having taken their respective places at the table,
the Chapter proceeded to the election. The Prelate having
signified the Sovereign's pleasure that one of the vacant Stalls
in the Royal Chapel of St. George's at Windsor be filled,
the Duke of Hamilton was introduced by Deputy Garter and
Black Rod, and was knighted by his Majesty with the Sword
of State.
The Prelate having collected the suffrages, presented them
to the Sovereign, who was pleased to command him to declare
the Most Noble Duke of Hamilton had been duly elected a
Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.
The Duke of Hamilton was received at the door of the
Royal closet by the Dukes of Norfolk and Grafton, the two
junior knights present, preceded by Deputy Garter, bearing
the insignia of the order upon a crimson velvet cushion, and
by Black Rod. The Duke kneeling and Deputy Garter pre-
senting the garter, his Majesty, assisted by the two senior
Knights present, buckled it on his Grace's left leg, the Prelate
pronouncing. the usual admonition. Deputy Garter then pre-
sented the ribband with the St. Geoege, and his Majesty put
the same over the Duke of Hamilton's left shoulder, the Pre-
late reading the admonition ; after which his Grace had the
honour to kiss the Sovereign's hand, and received the congra-
tulation of each of the Knights.
The Marquis of Lansdowne was introduced, received the
.honour of Knighthood from the King with the Sword of State,
and was elected a Knight of the most noble Order of the
Garter. The noble Marquis was invested by the King with
the Ensigns of the Order with the same ceremonies, and re-
ceived the congratulations of all the other Knights.

THE FIGHT for the CHAMPIONSHIP• PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS' yesterday, no business of public importance
occurred. Several of their Lordships left the House to pre-
sent the Address. The House %vas adjourned till Monday.

PLYMOUTH.

In the COMMONS' several notice`' of motions were given,
which will be found in our Parliamentary Report. Among
others was one by Mr. Hume, having for one of its objects that
all Parliamentary Bills should be written in round hand, in-
stead of being engrossed in black letter. A discussion of some
length took place on a resolution moved by Mr. Ewart, that
"no business, except of a formal nature, should be entered
upon after half-past eleven o'clock at night.' Lord John
Russell thought that the matter had much better be left to the
discretion of Members. Mr. O'Connell proposed a slight
amendment; but he, as well as Mr. Hume and Mr. Brotherton,
were favourable to the objects of the motion. On a division,
the motion was lost by a sweeping majority of 182. Mr.
Fector and Mr. G. Price vehemently proclaimed their hos-
tility to the Spanish Government. The latter Honourable
Gentleman was greeted with reiterated exc:amatory " Oh's."
He said Don Carlos had 100,000 men in arms at his
command ! After sneeringly complimenting England on
her close alliance with France, the Honoura►.`le Member
gave notice that he would move for a return of British officers
in the service of the Queen of Spain who received p'ay. from
this Government. Mr. Hume fully answered the ti,JO last
speakers, and took wicasion, whilst supporting the AdLiress,
to remark on the singular fact of the Amendment not hay.lng
been resisted in the other House. Mr. Ewart, Mr. Potter,
and Dr. Bowring, spoke in favour of the Address. Lord
Palmerston defended the policy of the Government with re-
gal-a to Spain. Lord Mahon, i r. Borthwick, and Lord
Francis Egerton, took part in the discussion, which is full of
interesting explanations. The Report vas agreed to without
a division, and the Address ordered to be presented this day.
In answer to a question by Mr. Robinson, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer stated that certain payments ;lad been made on
the part of the King of Belgium into the Exchequer.
Mr. Leonard postponed till Thursday, the 21? th instant, his
motion respecting flogging in the army. In answer to
Mr. Hume, the Chandellor of the Exchequer said it was
his intention to move for the revival of tire Coltimittee
on the building of new Houses of Parliament. Mr. Hume
then gave notice that he would move that it .be an in-
struction to the Committee to consider the propriety of alter-
ing the site of the two Houses. The Chancellor of t.'io Ex-
chequer, in reply to Lord Dudley Stuart, said that it ojould
be gratifying to him to propose a grant to the Polish Exiles
similar to that moved last year. It was also announced by the
same Right Honourable Gentleman, that it was the intention`
of his Majesty's Ministers to bring forward a measure respec-
ting the duties on the tonnage of goods navigating within the
jurisdiction of the South Sea Company, which he hoped
would be satisfactory to all parties. The House then ad-
journed till this day, when it will meet only for the purpose of
going up with the Address.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTO
PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY NIGHT, 10 O'CLOCK.-FEB. 4.-
DELAY IN THE ARRIVAL OF THE MAIL AND 0 TILER COACHES.

A serious delay has occurred in the arrival .of the mails and
London coaches in this town, arising from the' inclement state
of the weather, and the great falls of snow. The London
mail, which should have arrived here at 7 o'clok7k last night,
did not arrive until past 12, being thus 5 hours behind its
usual time. The ,consequence of this was that fke letters
were not delivered last night, and that therefore a London post
was lost, the up mail leaving this morning before the letters
which so arrived at 12 last night were delivered. The , Bath
and Bristol mail, which should have arrived here at half-toast
10 last night, did not arrive until half past 8 this morning,
being thus 10 hours later than its usual hour. The Cornia.h
mail, which should have arrived here this morning at 7, dic,l
not arrive until past 4 this afternoon, being thus more than 9
hours behind its time. The Defiance, and other London
stage coaches, which should have ark-ived here yesterday
afternoon, have not, up to this time, arr.lved. The weather
here continues cold, but no snow has Lain on the ground
in Plymouth, or within some miles of it. We think that ar-
rangements should be made at all post-offices for the delivery
of letters which may be called for within a given time after
the arrival of the mail, (though such arrival be late at
night,) so as to prevent the loss of a post in the an-
swering of letters. Had persons who might. have ap-
plied at the Post-office here for their letters Nr;thin an
hour after the arrival of .the mail, at twelve last night, been
able to obtain them, many merchants, and others, woulci have
availed themselves of the privilege, and have thus preve,nted
the loss of the post which occurred, and which to many, we
have reason to know, was of great moment. If the Post Offic'e
authorities were to arrange as to this for the future, it would be
highly advantageous to the public, and no expense woulJ
accrue thereby; while the labour on the part of the Persons in
the Post Office would be little, and as such delays in the arrival
of the mails seldom occur, such labour would of course be but
occasional.
