drawing, then jobbing or upper-cutting his man with telling
effect. Yet so good was the condition of both, that little
marking took place, And the amount of punishment seemed
pretty equally divided. Soon after the 26th round,
however, Martin succeeded in stepping on to his man once
or twice, besides screwing him up for fibbing on the
ropes, appeared to acquire renewed confidence • or,
what was better, second wind, and waited for the *est-
minster hero, whom he punished by up hits, with both hands,
but especially the right on the ear, for his rash rushes and
wild sallies. Towards the 36th reund it was clear that this
pinking and upper-cutting was doing its work, for Barnash
grew wilder and wilder in his onslaughts, receiving increas-
ing pepper. In the 37th round, Martin having Barnash on
the ropes they were cut. In the 38th and 39th the West-
minster Champion, game to the last, merely came up to re-
ceive. Two hours and twenty-three minutes had elapsed.
An appeal was now made to the referee, who desired the men
to proceed ; and at this moment the ropes were cut in several
places, and the stakes torn up. That gentleman refused his
fiat, unless regularly appealed to by the umpires. One of
them (as well as the time-keeper) was absent, and his deci-
sion was postponed until to-morrow (this day), when he will
meet both umpires, and state his ultimatum. After the lapse
of about two minutes, Barnash was brought on the ground
where the ring had been, and three more scrambling rounds
took place, which went for nothing, as they were a piece of

STEAM NAVIGATION.—The Court of the Incorporated
Company of Watermen and Lightermen have issued a second notice,
which has been posted along shore, stating that they are ready to
grant licenses for steam and sailing boats navigated upon the river
Thames between Windsor and Gantlet Creek, regulating the number
of passengers to be carried therein. The notice also states that all
persons navigating such boats without having obtained such licenses
will subject themselves to the penalties mentioned in the bye-laws
made by the Court of Aldermen of ithe City of London. Only one
license has been yet applied for, and we understand the steam-boat
companies intend to resist the now bye-laws which regulate the num-
ber of passengers to be carried ;on board steamers, and also their
speed in the crowded parts of the river. The beadles of the Water-
men and Lightermen's Company have received directions to take
out summonses against the masters of s!eamers who refuse to com-
ply with the bye-laws. In the event of convictions, the steam-boat
companies not only intend to appeal to the quarter sessions, but to
question the validity of the bye-laws in the Court of Queen's Bench.
The Lord Mayor has expressed his determination to convict In every
case that can be made out, and to inflict the full penalty. Under
then circumstances there will probably be a rich crop of summonsee.

THE STAGS."—It is rumoured that a distinguished
West-end Club, of a strong political character, and which numbers
among its members numerous Parliamentarians, hare had recently
within their walls some very active `• stags," collected for the pur-
pose of gathering information respecting the manner hi which many
of the railway schemes were concocted, and the parties active
therein. Whether the information Is desired for Parliamentary use
has not transpired. That some very extraordinary details might be
procured, supposing parties to be examined who could be believed,
few will doubt; and if they could only be obtained and published.
perhaps they would show that more unblushing efforts in the 1' art.
Of money-making" never was practised.

three years. He was eldest son of Mr. Moore Disney, of Church-
town, Waterford, and married Miss Yarborough, daughter of the
late Mr. G. Cooke Yarborough, of Streethouse, Yorkshire. Sir M.
Disney entered the army as ensign in the let Foot Guards, and
served, with that regiment to the close of the American war.
In the year 1793 he was ordered with his regiment to join the army
in Flanders, and after being engaged in most of the actions
at that seat of war, he returned with the forces to England.
in May, 1755. In the year 1808 he proceeded to join the
army in Spain, under Sir John Moore, and was present at the dis-
astrous battle of Corunna, where he commanded a brigade of re-
serve. As a distinction for the distinguished services he rendered
during that unsuccessful campaign be obtained a medal. In the
preceding year he accompanied the Walcheren expedition, in the
command of the first brigade of Guards. In 1810 he was ordered
to Cadiz, as second in command; and in the next year obtained the
full command there. The deceased General was created a Knight

MARRIAGE DISAPPOINTMENT.—A curious scene oC-
currel at the parish church of St. Mary-le-Strand yesbarday,
between ten and eleven o'clock. Two young couple presented them-
selves at the altar for the purpose of being married, when the brother
of one of the bridegrooms made an objection to the affair, whioh wee
overruled by the Rev. Mr. Denham, the rector, and he was proceeding
to perform the ceremony when the objector said that the marriage of
his brother should not take place, and that he had another abjection
to make, which was that they could not be married at tlnit church
as they did not belong to the parish, which was held 're be fatal to
the parties offering themselves, as upon inquiry bein2made was found
to be true, The parties then left the church, declaring that they
would go to their own parish and have the affair finally settled.

late signor Dragenetti.—The executors of the late Signor Dragonetti
having received applications from almost every member of the
musical profession to be permitted to join the procession as a mark
of respect to his memory, would have gladly availed themselves of
such offer had not Signor Dragonetti expressly desired that the pro-
cessional part of the funeral should be conducted in the most private
rummer possible; the executors, therefore, request those ladies and
gentlemen who wish to offer such tribute of regard to the deceased,
to attend at the Catholic Chapel, in .Mooreields, on Friday morning,
the 24th April instant, at half-past ten precisely, the service to begin
at eleven o'clock. It was the anxious desire of the executors to have
availed themselves of the kind offers of the musical professors Aar the
performance of a grand requiem mass, with a full hand, on so inte-
resting an occasion ; hut the regulations et the chapel prohibiting
any orchestral performance, prevent the wishes of the executors
being carried into effect. (Signed) J. B. IfeArn, Count PEPOLI,
