BOXING.

Moss, TILE BATII TINMAN, AND BISUOP /JAMUL—
These men, who are no strangers to courage and the prize ring,
fought their third battle yesterday on Ihtford Common, six
miles from Sawbridgeworth, and four from Hockerell, in a 24
feet square. Moss had won his first battle, and Harris the
second, after a very manly struggle. This match was for a
stake of 80 sow., and it was truly one of the " Greek meet
Greek" sort. Phillips seconded the Tinman, and lien Ford
picked up /Mss.—Captain Smith umpire for both. After a
well contested combat of 14 rounds, in 37 minutes, Moss was
declared the victor.

SINGULAR AFFAIR.—The convericion of the
fashionable coteries at Brighton for the last few
days has been entirely engrossed by the affair
between the Earl of S—r and a Mr. Tw—sd—n,
the latter gentleman having unceremoniously post.
ed his Lordship at Lucombe's Library and other
public places. The following particulars we have
gathered from report :—The gentlemen above-
mentioned agreed (as it is asserted by Mr. T.) some
y ears back, that '2,0001. should be paid to the other
by the individual who should first succeed to his
expected estates. His Lordship having obtained
possession of great property by a recent death,
the sum as stated was demanded by Mr. T. Ilia
Lordship, however, denied ever haying entered
into the contract alleged, and consequently
refused paying the money ; on Welt Mr. T. is
said to have offered to produce a third gentleman,
who was present at the time of the agreement
fact. It is stated "ed

and we have not heard it contradicted, that this
gentleman, on being called on, had no remem-
brance of the alleged contract. Mr.T however,
insisted, and again reiterated his demand; and
on his Lordship again refusing payment, sent a
challenge by a friend,
a Mr.

his Lordship refused to accept. The

hits LordshiPs which he immediately did. Deposi-
tion all 9a(h having been made by Mr. A--n, before
Sir David Scott, that a challenge had been sent,
and that .certain valuable lives were thereby
endangered, warrants were instantly issued
for the apprehension of all the parties. His
Lordship was taken at the York Hotel late
on Friday evening, and entered into heavy re.
cognizances to preserve the peace. Every ef-
fort to discover
the opposite parties has hi-
therto proved ineffectual ; it is reported they have
left Brighton. We further learn that his Lord-
ship has submitted the ease to Counsel, who have
advised ulterior proceedings, which, we are fur.
ther informed, are in active progress.—( Vest

Mr. WALLACE and the Commissioners of Par-
liamentary Revenue Inquiry are expected at
Glasgow for a few days, in the course of this
week, previous to the meeting of that Board in
Edinburgh. It is understood their inquiries here
will have reference to the revenues of customs,
excise, stamps, assessed taxes, and post-office ; as
also to the commercial intercourse with Ireland,
as affected by the regulations of the two first-
mentioned departments.—(Glasgow Courier.)
The death of James Drone, in the service of
Mr. Hull, of Blackman-street, in the Borough,
who died on Monday morning, at Guy's Hos-
pital, in a dreadful state of hydrophobia, as men-
tioned in our paper of Tuesday, has proved a
most interesting case to the students at the Hos-
pital. The suggestion of the French surgeon,
Monsieur Majendie, for injecting warm water
into the veins, was tried upon the late case of
James Drone, by Drs. Addison and Blundell,
who, after having taken from his arm upwards of
30 ounces of blood, proceeded to adopt the new
experiment of injection, but without success, the
poor fellow dying in the greatest tortures.
ATTEMPT AT Suictne.---In the course of Mon-
day evening last, an unfortunate young woman,
who nightly parades Coventry-street and Picca-
dilly, entered into a quarrel with one of her
companions, in consequence of which she was
taken to St. James's watch-house, as a disorderly
character, where she was locked up. She had
not been long in that place, when it fell to the
lot of another unfortunate creature to become the
temporary inmate of the dungeon, when she dis-
covered her companion suspended in a corner of
the place by a silk handkerchief ; an alarm wns
made, and she was instantly cut down, in a state
of insensibility, from which however she reco-
vered through prompt medical aid, and was con-
veyed to her wretched lodgings in a very weak
condition. It was only a few days since that the
same young woman was confined in the same
place,
when she saved the life of anotlier female,
who had suspended herself, by cutting her down.
