lIOXIN G.
BISHOP SHARP] AND COOPER THE GYPSEV.
The seconds in this fight were Josh. Hudson and ,Sainpsots
for Sharpe, and Spring and Richmond for Cooper. The plain
on which the battle took place was that of Fairlop.
Round 1. Much measurement for distance. Cooper placed
his hits, one, two, and had the best of fighting, but he WIL4
thrown.

2. Cooper hit Sharpe left and right. Sharpe did not go
down with it; but on a second hit he was staggered on his
knee. He rose up again like a brave one, and came to the
scratch in form.

3. Most decidedly in favour of Cooper, who out-fought his
adversary at• his own game. In the struggle Sharpe was
thrown.

4. Sharpe went in wild, he hit over and threw his blows
away. Cooper floored him. Six to four on Gypsey.
5. Sharpe seemed beat. Cooper hit him, and he went down.
Three to one on Gypsey.
Gypsey had the best of the round, but was thrown.
From this to the many succeeding rounds not a drop of blood
was spilt until the 12th, when the el:mister of Sharpe was felt,
and claret flew in streams.
13. Sharpe made play, and put in good hits upon his adver.
sary's head ; he spoilt his fine lighting, and b: ought betting to
a stand still.

14. Sharpe drew the was from his adversary's ear, and
serious rally followed, in which Cooper was thrown.
15. Cooper bad most decidedly the best of this round.
H. Cooper seemed to be winning, and he was bucked at 4
and 5 to 1.

17. Sharpe hit out of distance ; Cooper measured him about
the lug, and in a close both were down.
18. Cooper kept on at a wining game.
Until the 27th round no execution was done. The two men
were piping, and had no harm in them.
28. A scrambling round to recover themselves: Sharpe was
thrown.

29. A gallant fighting round, in which Sharpe had the best
of hitting. He put two thirds of a black upon the Gipsey's
eye, which set him snorting for luck.
30, 31, 32. No mischief done, both roarer,.
33. Gypsey got round again, had the best of fighting, and
was backed to win.

won by Duffooe in prime style in 25 Ininutes ; Dullooe cut his

ATTORNEY AND SOLICITOR.—ID a work on
Heraldic Anomalies is the following The
country Attorney, in calling himself Solicitor,
seems to forget his origin. I believe the follow-
ing to be a pretty true account of his office
and profession :—ln the time of our Saxon
ancestors, the freemen in every shire met
twice a year, under the presidency of the
Shire-Reeve, or Sheriff, and this meeting was
called the Sheriri Torn. By degrees, the free.
men declined giving their personal attendance,
and a freeman who did attend carried with hint
the proxies of such of his friends as could rot
appear. He who actually went to the Sheriff's
Torn was said, according- to the old Saxoe, to
go at the Torn, and hence came the word at-
torney, which signified one that went to the
Torn for others, carrying with him a power to
act or vote for those who employed him. Tdo
not conceive that the uttoiney has any right
to call himself a solicitor, but where he has
business in a Court of Equity. If' he choose to
act more upon the principles of equity than of
law, let him be a Solicitor by all means, but not
otherwise---for law and equity are very different
things ; neither of them very good, as over-
whelmed with forms and technicalities, but, upon
the whole, equity surely the best, if it were but
for the name of the thing.'
Fitatt.—The passion of fear sometimes shows
itself upon the slightest occasion, and in persons
the most unlikely to entertain such a guest.
A French author relates a whimsical instance
of this kind. Charles Gustavus, the successor
of Christina of Sweden, was besieging Prague,
when a boor of most extraordinary visage
desired admittance to his tent, and being
allowed entrance, offered, by way of amusing,-
the King, to devour a whole hog, weighing 2 cwt.
in his presence. The old General Konigsmarck,
stood by the King's side, and who, soldier as he
was, had not got rid of the prejudices of his
childhood, hinted to his Royal master, that
the peasant ought to be burnt as a sorcerer.*
" Sir," said the fellow, irritated at the re-
Imark, " If your Majesty will but make that
old gentleman take off his sword and spurs, I
will eat hioiself up before your face, before I
begin the pig." Konigsmarck, who bad per-
formed wonders against the Austrians, and who
was looked upon as one of the bravest men
of the age, could not stand this proposal, espe.
cially as it was accompanied by a most hideous
and preternatural expression of the frightful
peasant's jaws.—Without uttering a word, the
veteran suddenly turned round, ran out of the
tent, and thought not himself safe until he had.
arrived at his quarters, where he remained above
24 hours locked up securely, before he got rid of
the panic which had so severely affected him.
