BRIAN AND WARD'S WALICING MATCH.—Tbe ten. mile
match, for 10/. aside, between these bantem pedestrians,
came off at Bedford on the2lst, according to articles. Ward
went off with the start of one minute. as agreed 'upon, but it
was soon pretty evident that he would not be able to keep
any portion of it. No sooner did " little Jemmy" approach
him, than Ward abandoned the fair toe and heel 'style, and
betook himself to an ambling trot, that if not
.positive sun-
ning was so like it as to have lost all the recognised character...
to walking. The referee accordingly called upon hinat
to turn, which he did several times, but again betook hi
all, to the objectionable style of going in every spurt. Finalfr,
the referee gave it decisively in favour of Brian at the eighat
mile—Ward " trotting" in in 1h.30m. 33 secs., and the
winner nearly 30 seconds after him.
PUGILISM.
MARTIN AND BARNISII'S CONTEST ON TUE.MAY.—The
umpires and referee in this affair met yesterday; according to
appointment, when, after some discussion as im doubling the
stakes for another meeting, which was rekied on the part of
Martin (although his readiness for a fre.sh match for 251. or
50/. a side was declared), it was resolved to enforce the 9th
rule (of late so ruinously lost sight of), and award the stakes
to " the man who, at the time of t'ne interruption, had the
'lest of the battle." This was decided to be Martin way
next, accordingly receive the reward of victory on Tuesday
next, at his head-quarters in Doctors-Commons. For the,
benefit of such as may not be aware of the regulation, we
append it at length. " IX. That on no consideration what-
ever shall any person (except the men and their appointed
seconds) be permitted to enter the ring during the battle, or
till it should have concluded: and that, in the event of such
unfair practia,, or the ropes and stakes being distrArbed or
removed, it shall be in the pcmer of the umpire arld referee
to award the victory to that man who, in their honest opinion
shall have the best of the contest." It is hope? that this en-
forcemeneof the laws of fairlilay will prow; a wholesome pre-
ventive of the late prevalent, disgraceful prr.ctices.
BROOME AND Tannv's AFFAIL—This !orig-ve,-"A51,..t.i...
has at length fotiud a solution such had miklit oe anticipated.
, Th.- parists have agreed {boneless of a
,d,cision) to draw
stakes. Harry Broome has therefore ret.,,ved his battle-
money from the stakeholder, and a erry having done tha
same, all bets are off, and " all is nought, as nought had ever
been." This " lame and impotent conclusion" was, perhaps,
to be anticipated, but although distasteful to every lover of
fair play, is, perhaps, the best that could be made of a tad
case.

IRELAND.
ACCIDENT AT CASHEL.
DUBLIN, APRIL 23.—1 t is not correct, as revdorted yester-
day, that any life has been lost in Cashel owing to the fall-
ing of the floor of the Court-house. Seve.cal are lying badly
injured.
SENTENCE ON MR. BROWNE, FOR BIGAMY.
This day the judges ruled the books in the presence of an
unusually crowded court. Many persons of high rest,,ecta-
bility were present who were interested in the fate of Mr.
Browne and Dlr. Saunders. There appeared to be a. general
opinion that a motion in arrest of judgment on tb.e former
would be made, and granted, on the points ral:sed in the
course of his trial. No such motion was made, but the
prisoner put in an affidavit in mitigation of puni.hment, in
which he swore he was under age when his first marriage
was celebrated.
Baron RrcirAnDsoN addressed the unfortunate young man
in a most affecting strain, closely reviewing the circumstances
and progress of his case. 'Yielding to the wishes of his coun-
sel, they had submitted the points raised in his favour to the
twelve judges, and those learned personages quite agreed
with him (Baron Richardson) that the conviction was per-
fectly just and legal, The Learned Baron concluded:by sen-
tencing the prise-ner to be transported for seven y•,,,ars.
Mr. Brown., who appeared deadly pale and much de-
pressed, merely bowed to the Court and r'etired to the back of
the dock.
Several members of the family wept 'bitterly towards the
conclusion of this severe, but just sentence.
The case of Mr. Serjeant, convicted of forging a bill of ex•
change on the late Gen. Saunders also attracted much atten-
tion. The sentence upon him wryseven years' transportation.
A fact in reference to this, 'person may not be deemed out
of place here. It appears t'dat in the year 1821 he was con-
victed of forgery, and wifr.s under sentence of transportation
when George the Fourt}.l was in Ireland. On the occasion of
his Majesty's departin•e from Kingstown Harbour, and while

A THREATENED DUEL.
A correspondence—of, happily, rare character latt]ly ap-
;: Mr. --"Buit-
pears in the morning papers, which will become t:de subject
of judicial proceedings at the sitting of t). A court- of
Queen's Bench on Saturday morning next
was the leading counsel for Mrs. Scott, ; whose trial for
bigamy occupied the judges in commissior all last week, and
in the course of his address to the jut"; he felt it necessary,
for the defence of his client, to adver'
solicitor for the prosecution iv cto the conduct of the
iather strong language.
Pending the inquiry Whigb. vriPt be instituted, it would not
be advisable to allude til
of Mr. Butt's refiecticais vil' at are supposed to be the grounds
'up'on Mr. Jackson ; but the public
should suspend the,ie i'udgment on the matter, as it appears
at present Mr. Butt has retained Mr. Warren, and othe
eminent couneAl and he is determined to the tmost of hill
power to PreserVe the bar from the hostile messages of her
geursed-
rent attorntys, while it acts within the fair and legitimate
co which he himself pursued in this case.
