BOXING.

The fanciers of fun and frolic in their was
gratified their taste and dropped their fourth! on Streatham
lnclosures yesterday, in two tights. The first battle was be-
tween Sutton a feather-maker, and Coulson, a sawyer, for ten
sovereigns a-side. It was a rare gay battle of seven rounds in
twenty-two minutes. The plume man led with much gaiety,
and floored his adversary well in the first and second rounds,
after much counter hitting in offensive fighting. These rounds
lasted seven minutes.
3. The sawyer had his turn, and dropped his adversary by a
stinging slap on the temple, which ramie his 'tapper beat runt
tunes of any thing bar glory.
In the 4th, bth, and 6th rounds the sawyer led, his adversary
being in a sleeping and fbrgiving state.
In the 7th round, Sutton, who had worn himself out, was
hit out of time by a lunging blow on the ear, which laid him
senseless, and won Coulson the battle. There was a good deal
of severe hitting.
MATTnEws AND HERD.—These little men, in want of
needful, fought very earnestly far ten minutes. Matthews won
it in the sixth round by a cracking hit upon the jaw, which
bent it. Herd had all the:best of fighting until this chance hit.
Mattheis, as a winner, was covered with bruises and scars as
well as glory.

EXTRAORDINARY OvEnTuur.—We last week
mentioned the robbery of Messrs. SuuTE and BAYLEY'S
silk-mills, at Watford, of property to a very considerable
amount, and that a large reward was offered for the ap-
prehension of the depredators. We understand that the
thieves, with the greatest audacity, have, throng), the medium
of a Solicitor, commenced a negociation to restore the pro-
perty, upon the payment of ten shillings in the pound on the
amount lost. One day last week Mr. BAYLEY had an inter-
view, at a house in Cheapside, with a Gentleman high in the
Police department, who informed him that the Solicitor could
get the whole of the property returned, amounting to 1,250 L,
for the sum of MO/. Air.liAyt.EY, in hope* the interview might
ultimately lead to the detection of the ruffians, agreed to con-
sult his partner, although determined not to countenance such
villany. He accordingly did so, and Alr. Situ Tik: instantly
spurned the idea of entering into any negociation, and a reward
of 3001. was Immediately issued for the detection of the robbers.
Thus the matter at present rests, both Gentlemen being deter-
mined not to countenance this infamous system of negotiating
with thieves that has been so successfully practised for a con-
siderable time. The raw and unmanufactured silk 'stolen is
expected to be brought into the market, but, from the publi-
city given to the trade, every hope is entertained that the
ruffians will be detected.—( Morning Paper.)

pepends an eye-glass. The hair is arranged ala Milanese,'
