SPARRING.

The first meeting amongst the returns from Worcester was
the assemblage of yesterday, for the benefit of Cyrus Davis,
Tom Belcher, Harry Harmer, and Co., and the talents of the
men brought forward a fairish court, as the name of Langan
was towed into the bill of fare. Langan has had enough, from
the writer,, personal knowledge, to cause a stay for a few
days; but the broadside was theatrical in reality, and had a
certain fetch.

The sets-to were very confined. Belcher was the chief
attraction, and his sets-to with Ben Burns exhibited a superior
science of equal skill and preponderating weight. Most of
Ben's left-handed rushes, or sudden attempts, were admirably
encountered, and in the next movement Belcher displayed his
forte number one, without being .able to-Make me; It was a
most manly set-to.

HARRY HARMER. AND BtLCHER.,—TheSC cousins seemed
to have forgotten relationship, and they pelted away in the beat
manner they could to get best ; but the shades of distinction in
science were so even, we give in our opinion—no best.
Carter and Cyrus Davis made a very slovenly set. Cyrus
over-weighted, and his opponent was drunk. The set to was a
scramble.

Geo. Curtis challenged to fight Barney Aaron, the gallant
little Jew, for .50 sovereigns ; and Little Dick, the pet of the
fancy, challenged him for 100 sovereigns. To the last chal-
lenge
ready at th."
The veteran Richmond, who is greatly respected, takes his
benefit this day at the same place. All the principal men, with
the Champion of the Empire at their head, will be present.

Colonel SAN MIGUEL, late Secretary of State
under the Constitutional Government of Spain,
who was taken prisoner by the French in Cata-
lonia, and claimed by Ferdinand, is stated to
have passed through Bayonne ou the 4th, under
an escort, for France. It is certainly to the
honour of the French Government, that this brave
man has not been given up to be butchered, as
was Riego, by the satellites of despotism at
Madrid.

DArtING BunGLAßy.—On Sunday morning
last, between the hours of four and five, as the
watchman in Grafton-street, Bond-street, was
going his rounds, he perceived the street door of
Mr. lioLstrs's, (the M. P.) house in that street
wide open, and at the same time saw two suspicious
looking fellows lurking about. He immediately
gave an alarm to the family, when it was
found that thieves had broken into the house
by forcing the shutters and sash from one
of the front parlour windows, and succeeded in
carrying off considerable property,, consisting of
wearing apparel, a gold snuff-box, value 50/. a
valuable gun and gun-case, &c., all of which
were packed up in the back barlour, ready to be
taken with Mr. HOLMES to Brighton the next
morning. It is considered rather strange that
the watchman should have suffered the two fel-
lows he saw near the door to have escaped.

An inquiry took place on Saturday, in the
County Hall, Warwick, before the Sheriff, to
assess damages against WILLIAM DATY LII,-
LINGTON, for criminal conversation with the wife
of Mr. Jour./ CARR, by whom she had four chil-
dren. The damages were laid at 2,000/. Mr.
READER was Counsel for the Plaintiff, and Mr.
HOLBETEIi for the Defendant, who is now in
America. The Jury gave a verdict for the
Plaintiff. Damages—Eight Hundred Pounds and
costs.
