JAMES GRANT AND GEORGE MADDEN 'OR 251. A
SIDE.—The encounter between these rival aspirants for
fistic fame, took place yesterday on 'Woking-common, in
presence of a numerous gathering of the admirers of the
art offensive and defensive. At twenty-five minutes past
eleven, a referee having been agreed on, the men stood
up, Madden's corner being taken care of by Bob Fuller,
the pedestrian; and Alexander Keene; that of Grant, by
Turner and the well-known Jemmy Welsh. As the
battle, the longest on record in the annals of the ring,
proved a drawn one, we shall devote little space to its
description. The men were nearly on a par as to weight
and age, each drawing close upon the stipulated weight
9st. 101 b., Grant being about a pound the lighter man,
and a year or two the elder. Per the first hour Grant
had the advantage in the throws, Madden getting
severely home on his opponent's body, and having the
best of the hitting. About this time Grant hurt his right
hand, and the hitting of Madden tell off almost simul-
taneously. The betting, which had been 6 and 7to 4
on Grant, now dropped to sto 4 and evens. The con-
test went on with various fluctuations, until daylight
failed, when at five minutes past five o'clock, the battle
having lasted the unprecedented time of five hours and
forty minutes, the referee put a stop to it. The punish.
ment was pretty evenly balanced; Grant having the
superiority in throwing, and the least damage on the
frontispiece, while Madden severely visited his adver-
sary's body. All bets are of course drawn with the battle,
the future day for which, without doubt a distant one,
if ever, will be named by the stakeholder, on conference

TROTTING.
NELL AND FANNY, FIVE MILES, YOB 25 SOVS.
ASIDE.—The match between the above-named nags, the
former going in harness, the latter in saddle, was decided
yesterday, over five miles of turnpike on the western
road, starting from the 15th mile on the Slough road,
and trotting homewards towards London, to the tenth
stone, near the Red lion, Hounslow. The grey having
the option of saddle, her owner availed himself of the
privilege, and put ep a jockey whose name we did not
learn. Nell, who went in a light trap, was tooled by
Bartley. At four o'clock the word was given and off
they went, Fanny soon having a lead, which she con-
trived to keep. Near home an elderly personage on

DOVER.—ENCROACIMENTS Or THE SEA.—Within
the last few weeks the sea has made considerable inroads
on the land in front of the Esplanade and the Ord-
nance ground here ; and it appears to us that if we have
a continuance of tides, still greater encroachments may
be anticipated ; unless, indeed, the active operations
now being employed by the harbour workmen in the
construction of groins, and other barricades, shall be
sufficient to arrest the progress of Davy Jones. Al-
ready half the newly formed walk at the place of
which we are speaking has been washed away, and
the remaining portion stands in imminent danger of
sharing the same fate at every flow of the tide.—South-

Divine service was performed at four o'clock, the
sermon being preached by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. His Grace dwelt forcibly upon the advantages
accruing from a system of education, such as
that imparted in the Charter House, and exhorted the
young men so to conduct themselves durinc, their
probationary course, that when they launched into
the world they might bnome ornaments of so-
ciety. At the conclusion of the service, the company
retired to the great hall, where Mr. Charles Green-
wood Floyd, the senior scholar, delivered a Latin ora-
tion. The youthful orator commenced by referring to
the'state of Europe during the past year, as contrasted
with the tranquillity of England. With reference to the
domestic affairs of the Charter House, he mentioned the
deaths of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Mel-
bourne, and the Earl of Harrowby, congratulating the
new governors who had succeeded them, namely, the
present Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Lian-
we, and Lord Denman. The.orator proceeded to recite
the names of those who, having been students in the in-
stitution, had gained honours in the Universities of Ox-
ford and Cambridge during the past year, alluding par-
ticularly to Mr. W. H. Stone, just elected to a scholar.
ship at Balliol College, Oxford; Mr. B. Elwyn,
elected to the Craven scholarship in Trinity
College, Cambridge ; and Mr. H. W. Fisher,
student of Christ Church, Oxford, who obtained
a first class in Literis Humanioribus. Mr. Floyd
passed the following graceful compliment on Sir
Robert Peel, who had placed him on the foundation:—
•` Verum übi tot et tantas res commemoro, übi tot no-
mina illustria coram vobis recenseo, unum tamen, ut
opinor, vos non me praeterire sinetis, cujus propter splen-
didas mentis et ingenii facilitates, virtutemque ejus et
morum probitatem, non Britannicum modo Senatum, sed
etiam totum or hem terrarum fama pervagata est. Ilium
igitur et patroeinii jure et necessitudine conjunctum fa-
miliari, auctorem mihi video beneficiorum eorum quibus
intra has cedes frui potueritn. Adrnonet me quot et
quanta sint ea ipea beneficia ex Fundatore Suttono in
nos omnes delata."

The oration, which was couched in elegant Latin, was
delivered with much energy, and was greeted with loud
applause.

The usual festival in celebration of the anniversary
took place at six o'clock, the banquet being held in the
ancient hall of the institution, built about the reign of
Henry VIII., its principal decoration being the portrait
of the founder, by a contemporary painter.
The Master (the Venerable Archdeacon link), as on
all such ( ccasions, presided at the banquotting board,
supported on the right by his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury and Sir Robert Peel, Bart., and on the left
by Lord Denman, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, M.P.4
and among the 120 gentlemen congregated to do honour
to. the memory of the founder were the following officers
of the foundation :—The Rev. Folliott Baugh, M.A.,
preacher; the Rev. Augustus P. Saunders, M.A., head
master; the Rev. Oliver Watford M.A., second master;
assistants, the Rev. W. H. Philloit, the Rev. F.

Mr. Archibald Knig

—the Masters of the School—the Preacher of the Day......
the Stewards of the Current Year—the Stewards of the
next Year—and the Orator of the Day.
The Orator, Mr. C. G. FLOYD, as customary, delivered
grace previous to the dinner.
The Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, Bart., and
the Archbishop of Canterbury addressed the company
after the banquet, as did also the Venerable Archdeacon
Hale, the master of the hospital.
About half-past nine o'clock, the party broke up, the
majority of the company adjourning to the residence of
the Master, whose respected lady gave a ball to cunclude
the festivities of the Founder's Day.

Mr. Archer, a solicitor, applied to kr. Jardine, on be-
half of a local society for the prevention of burials in
towns, for a summons against a gravedigger employed
at the burial-ground in Cross-court, Drury-lane, to
auswer the charge of disinterring bodies, and thereby
cuing a great nuisance in the neighbourhood.
A person named John Muggridge, residing at 14,
Cross-court, whose back window opened upon the
burial-ground in question, deposed to baying seen the
grave-digger and another man dig up coffins, hammer
them to pieces, and apparently throw the bodies into
another hole, with quantities of lime, to effect their de-
struction.

Other abominations of the same kind were mentioned
by the witness, who communicated the circumstance to
Mr. Walker, surgeon, and the police ; but as the mat
ter will be fully investigated when the defendant appears
t 3 the summons, we deter our report.
The application was readily granted by Mr. Jardine,
with the view of having the matter taken up and
properly investigated.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Charles Roland, en elderly man, filling the office of
clerk to the Swiss Protestant Church at the West-end,
was brought up for final examination, charged with
having abused the person of Frances Ann Keast, a girl
about twelve years of age.
The prisoner was on terms of disgraceful intimacy
with the mother of the girl, who had been separated fr*m
her husband for some years ; and, according to the girl's
evidence, the prisoner had Wen in the habit.of indecently
assaulting her for some time past. She complained in
vain to her mother, and at lest having met with her
father, she communicated to him the prisoner's conduct
towards her, and a warrant was immediately obtained
against the prisoner.

Mr. French, a surgeon, sent a certificate, which cor-
roborated, to a certain extent, the statement of the girl.
Mr. BINGHAM, af:Er hearing the prisoner gibe a
general denial of the charge, fully committed him
for trial.

James Jones, spectacle maker, No. 11, Moor-street,
was charged with having criminally assaulted Catherine
Grady, a girl about twelve years of age.
The complainant said she was in the service of the
prisoner, and the assault in question occurred during the
absence of the pris'iner's wife. The statement of the
girl would lead to the inference that a capital offence had
been committed. The girl said she told the prisoner's
wife what had happened as soon as she came home, and
she communicated the same circumstances without delay
to her friends.

PEPYS' DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE. -The 4th
volume of the new edition of this valuable diary is• just
published, and one more volume will complete the work.
It is seldom that an individual will allow us to read his.
soul or trace his actions to their motives. When there-
fore it is possible to unlock the secret depositories of
thought, and reveal the hidden springs of action, the ari-
viloge must be considered as eminently valuable, and the
more so, when we are permitted to investigate the mo-
tives of such men as Samuel l'epys, who enjoyed high
offices,. and fulfilled their duties with distinguished
ability, and who exerted considerable influence over the
affairs of the period. His diary is valuable as depicting
to us many of the most important characters of the times.
Its author has bequeathed us the records of his heart,
the very reflections of his energetic mind; and his quaint
but happy narrative clears up numerous disputed points,
throws light into many of the dark corners of history,
and lays bare the hidden substratum of events which
gave birth to, and supported, the visible progress of the
nation. We owe Pepys a debt of gratitude for the rare
and eurion information he has bequeathed to us in this
most
amusing and interesting work.—Tait's Magazine.

The pri.oner was fully committed.
WORSHIP-STREET.
William Roberts, an inmate of the Bethnal-green
Union Workhouse, was brought up before Mr. Hammill,
at the instance of the parish authorities, charged with
au assault of an aggravated character upon a young mar-
ried woman named Jane Weldon, also an inmate of the
establishment.
Mr. likaimim. asked in what manner the parish au-
tsaid horities intended to deal with the case?—Mr. Fairfield
that he was instructed by the board of guardians to
leave.rit entirely in the hands of the magistrate.

HIGH TIDE IN THE TllamEs.--Yesterday after
no,m the river Thames continued to dew fora consider-
able time after the period fixed for high water, and
at-
half past three the low grounds on either bank were
completely under water, the Bishop's-walk, Church-
street, and Fore-street, Lambeth, and the approach to
Lambeth Palace, being impassable, except by boats, a
number of which were employed to ferry the inhabitants
to and from their dwellings. The basements of the
houses in Fore-street were completely flooded, and con-
siderable damage and loss occasioned. The tido over-
flooded the Hungerford and Adelphi-wharfs, and washed
over the Temple-gardens embankment. At all the
steam-boat piers the passengers had to clamber over
planks. The Essex, Woolwich, Wandsworth, and Bat-
tersea marshes were placed under water. Much damage
is reported to have been sustained on the south bank of
the river, though no loss of life.

NEW DOCKS AT LEITH. —The extensive harbour
works are proceeding with great rapidity. Notwith-
standing the advanced period of the year, and the
storminess of the weather, one hundred tons of stones,
besides rubble work, have been laid down daring the last
ten days. About 350 men, masons, carpenters, and la-
bourers, are constantly employed, at wages averaging
from 12s. to 203.; the circulation of so much money in
the town must tell upon the shop trade of the port. But
the greatest boon is to come—the after-good to the port,
from the increased facilities to shipping by the enlarge-
ment of the docks, as well as the deep-water entrance,
will shortly be felt by all classes whose interests lie with
the trade and commerce of the town. To the present
Lord Advocate Leith is mainly indebted for these im-
provements.—Caledonian Mercury.
SUICIDE OF A SCHOOLMISTRESS. —An inquest was
held on Monday, at the Feathers, Temple-street, White-
friars, before Mr. W. Payne, on the body of Maria
Carter, aged 29, a schoolmistress. It appeared in evi-
dence that the deceased kept a day-school for children,
