Vast collections of books, of engravings, and of

turn of superior merit, whom the love Of letters
attaches to all those who cultivate' them, and

the Uxbridge road, and
motley cat grourts were
there assembled, as it was not out of the reach of
the infir ILI even, who wanted country ate. A ring
veal ;ortued, and much native eloquence was dis-
played between Messrs... Ward and Caleb Bald-
win, on the eligibility of tbe spot ; but at length
a'third person forrned another ring, and beVer-
skriter through mud- and gravel pits' hurried the
multitmle it scene as ludicrous as fancy can de-
vise here pres ten.et. itself,
scores running over
each other with the greatest' mirth and tun. A
third ring war, formed, and the men entered at
one o'clock with their seconds, Shelton and Ca-
leb Baldwin for the. black, and Johnson and Lee
!or Criiekey. Betting 6 and 7 to 4 on the
Littek.‘ This fight,- which was as bravely and as
courageously maintainced.as any within the re.
collection of our reporter, had excited but little
interest, 'as Crockey was not thoitght :Mich of
since his combat; and the black was only
known as ba..ing beat a commoner in Tuthill,
fields a few weeks since. The tirA round was most
ncinfolly conte::ted, and aiter some determined
flush hitting, both went down: Every succeedag
rotind gave specimens of the most detcimined
bravery. li7e..did not observe a stop attempted,
nor did ever VV:r eSS more counter hits and
knock-down blows.. if the men did not possess
firit-rate science, the courage displayed [lever was
excelled. Crockey:was the best but •the
black seemed to have ',many pounds in weight
noon Um, and the bitting the fist 20 minutes was
reciprocal. At this period the ring Was !yokel'
in by the pressure;anktlic.time keeper pi:intently
Pl3tlr his retreat with his fin -piece. The men,
however, coot'ioueit to a awl I irc -.4 0
beat out again after much blood WM split. The
was nbstimitely contested for an hour and
tilttty minutes, and severe blows were exchanged
to the last moternt. Both met) ‘vcre two-hand.ed
Hulks, but weight ultimately s:•rvvil the black,
and with the exception of temporary loss Of wiad,
lie was never distressed. Crochey was much pu-
nLshed the last. six munds, hut he did not give
in until unable' 'to stand. Both were frightfully
punished. This match was only for 101.

Thursday atteintoOn, ahnut 5 o'clock, two wo-
men, very genteelly dressed in mournilig, appear-
ing to' be from thirty to forty yews of age, went
into the shop of, a.haberdalier in Holborn, under
pretence of purcinniing various articles, consist-
ing of lace, silk shawls and handkerchiefs," and
other things. Having selected as many gyMls
attMtinted to upwards of 2S/. they desired them
to he packed up and a hiil and receipt to he isade

City, and woold cal for the parcel when they re-'

away. Abont five minutes after they had left, the
!.-hopkeeper inissed a gird of lace of the value of
CLi and a silk s:nteil worth two guineas and a,
ball; immediate pursnit was given after the: of-
fenders, hut to 'no intrpose's they were seen to
get into a hackney chslot, which was ih waiting
to few doors from the shop.
A 'newly born infant. was discovered on Thurs-

been murdered by some initinnan wretch. The
