Disappointment by interference of authorities prevented the
battle between Moss, the Tinutan, and ISAAC }LEAD, taking
place until Saturday. MOSS was matched by his patron Capt.
Haskell, to tight any man 12 stone six pound, who bad never
before fought publicly in a ring. Ilerd was a known good man
from Hampshire. The battle took place at Eversley-green,
flatus and it was one distinguished for out and out game. Tho
men do' fed their castors into the ring at one o'clock, eager for
combat.
In the first round Moss missed a well aimed hit with the left
hand at his adversary's nob, but he hit by and slipped. His
adversary made a rush and floored him by a blow on the chest.
2. This round lasted eleven minutes. There was n• shift-
' log, but each fought from the scratch and dealt out severe
punishment. Moss had rather the best of fighting ; he floored
his adversary by a flash bit behind the ear which melted the
wax, and produced the claret in abundance. 6t04 on Moss.
3,4, and 5. These rounds were comparatively tame to the
last. The men were piping, and had lust their fastness in the
absence of second wind. herd had the best of throwing, but
could not keep his adversary's tits out of his head.

cidedly in favour of Moss who hit his adversary to a stand, and

-
his adversary.

ONEMoon Tying DESERvES ANOTIIER.—The English
Government have lately sent over'certain Commissioners to pry
into and report upon the frauds and abuses committed by the
Distillers against the Revenue Laws of this country ;
they have entered upon their labours, and have satis-
fied their employers that there was much to complain
of in the management of distillation in this country ; how-
ever, as some little blame seemed to attach itself to the
Irish Board of Excise and their officers, they requested, as
a kind of set off, that three of 'their Surveyors should pro-
ceed with similar powers to England.. They accordingly
selected three of great practical experience imd lynx-eyed
observation, Messrs. Logan, Coffee, and Gill, who proceed-
ed to the neighbourhood of London, and in a short time
have discovered such practices amongst the English distil-
lers, as leave the Irish distillers in a state of infancy as to
that practical part of their trade, by which the duty to the King
is-evaded, and their affectionate regard for the memory of the
Queen is evinced.—( Ibid.)
ASTHMATIC COMFLAINTSe—A few ounces of
honey taken every day ; or strong decoction of
horehound drunk in the morning, fasting, and
two or three times or oftener in the day, of the
quantity of a large tea cup, has been known to
be successful in relieving what is called the dry
asthma : and for the humid; it seldom fails if per-
severed in.
