the following extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship
North Star, 26, Captain Sir J. E. Home, Bart., dated from
the river " Kni Kni, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, Oct. 6,
1845 :
"We have not lifted our anchor for ten weeks. Thank
goodness we are still as happy and comfortable as a ship
can possibly be made, and likely to remain so. We are on
the eve of a bad peace; the Governor is negotiating with
the disaffected just at a moment that strong reinforcements
have arrived, and now that we are in a position to give thembehind ot

PUGILISM IN THE NORTIL—FATAL FIGHT.—NEW.
CASTLE-ON-TYKE, linen 11.—A fight took place yesterday, at Blvt
a neighbouring place, between two men, named Reilly and Clegli.oru
which terminated in the death of the former. The prize was 101:
aside, and the occurrence being rare in this locality, attracted a
large crowd of spectators, including the Newcastle " Fancy," and
many who occupy higher position; in society. Reilly was a young
man of 6 ft., and weighing about list. ; Cleghorn, 5 ft. $ in., and 10 st.
During the early rounds Cleghorn hail the advantage, but Reilly af-
terwards turned the tables upon his antagonist, and punished hint
severely. However, in the 491 k round, after fighting for not less
than two hours and a Cleghorn planted a crushing blow on
Reilly's lower jaw and neck, which brought him to the ground as if
killed. lle never rose again. Ills 'friends carried him to the Ridley
Arms, where, after lingering in great agony until this morning, he
died. A coroner's jury wits summoned this afternoon. but the in-
quest stands over. What makes the matter worse, as against Cleg-
horn Is, that an ill-feeling has long subsisted between him and the
unfortunate deceased.
PUGILISM—BROOM AND TEMRY.—This procrastinated
business was last night, at a very full meeting at Bunt's, put in fair
traits for adjustment. The stakeholder has decided on transferriug
to the editors of two papers, present at the battle, the power of
nominating three or live impartial gentlemen (also present at the
ring side) as arbitrators ilk Hie merits of the case; their decision wit/
govern Isis disposal of the battle-money, with which all undrawn
bets must go.
YEDESTMANISM.—T. Maxfield .(the North Star) anti
Davies ran their match for 1001, at Cardiff, according to announce.
meta. Maxfield, witare informed by letter, was tripped or fell,
when looking very like a winner ; a horse, which was following the
men, struck hint and injured hint seriously. Davies being first at.
the winning place, the referee has given it in his favour, but a pro-
test is made, and it is probable the men will rust again.
lquEos ExrnEss.—Yesterday, a pigeon tossed at
Southampton, arrived at its domicile In London, in
.one hour and
twenty-six minutes, coven' aI- upwards of seventy miles of ground
within that Hine.
EFFECTS OF TICE TARIFF.—The monthly cattle-
market at Oxford, on Wednesday, was well attended by buyers ; and,
although cattle aud sheep of every description were very much

of wool, from 4s. bd. to ss. per stone; store sheep fetched enormously
high prices, in sonic cases nearly after the rate of Is. per lb. The
pig-market was alarge one, but in consequence of such high prices
being asked for stores, very little business was done. English fat
hogs fetched from 9s. to 9s. 6d. per score ; porkers, from 9s. 9d. to
10s. Cel. These prices are a sufficient answer to those who voe)4
