PUGILISM.—BARNASII (OF WESTMINSTER) AND
HAZELTINE (OF WMITECRAPEL) FOR SO L A SlDE.—These
opponent stars of the East and West brought their
differences of opinion, as to the better man, to an issue
yesterday, at Dartford-level, Long Reach. The muster
of sages of: the East and denizens of " the far West"
WaS extraordinary. The orientals, however, prepon-
derated. Fifteen rounds sufficed to settle the question
of the. Israelite's capabilities for contest ; and at the end
of forty-seven minutes, the sponge being thrown up from
Hazeltine's corner, as the signal of &feat, the West-
minster hero was hailed as conqueror. We cannot close
this brief paragraph without adding a line in commen-
dation of the vast body of the friends of Hazeltine who
were present, whose wise conduct and quiet submission
to." the fortune of war" did every credit to their love of
fair play and good order, even under trying and adverse
circumstances.
GREAT SCULLERS' MATCH FOR 2001.--A match,
which excites considerable interest in the aquatic circles,
has been made between Henry Clasper, the celebrated
sculler, and Anthony Maddison, to row on the river
Tyne, on the 16th inst. The stakes are 1001. aside.
A communication by steam-packet is about to be
established between Roucn and Dunkirk.

Ghetto all the inhabitants of the low grounds were forced
to fly, anti scarcely had they cEcAped when their houses
were inundated. The water was in general three feet
higher than in November, 1790."

Intelligence has been received from Algeria to the
24th October. The Echo d'Oran of that date has the
following :
" Yesterday a column of troops marched from Oran,
and this morning the commander of the province set out
to place himself at its head. The departure of that co-
lumn in the direction of Sidi Bel Abbes had already
caused some uneasiness, when a report arrived that a
grand razzia had been executed in the territory of the
Ouled Slimans, that a body of cavalry intercepted the
road between ()ran and Tlemcen, and, finally, that the
latter was seriously menaced. We are enabled to ex-
pose the facts in their real light. The news of a move-
ment of the Emir towards the tableland, to effect a raz-
zia in tne Sahara, in the country of the llemaines Che-
ragas, is considered the more probable, as advice of that
movement has been given by those who were to suffer
from it. Later it became known that the Maia-Angads
of Morocco were preparing for a coup de main. A corps
of cavalry of theirs, consisting of 300 or 400 men, had.
even commenced its march. On the side of Tlemcen,
Bou Maza, having failed to induce the Beni Snassens to
join his standard, is now tampering with the Beni Snous
and Beni Bou Saids. Everything may be expected from
that fanatic ; and it would not be astonishing that he
prevailed upon those weakened tribes to follow him, and
thus intercept the communications with Tlemcen."
The Paris Bourse was agitated on Monday. Finding the
Government party too strong to allow the Funds to go down,
the speculators for the fall (Bears) turned all their attention
and all their malignity towards the share market, and suc-
ceeded in depressing the shares of nearly all the lines in
France.

The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Mon-
day at 82f. 70c. ; the Five per Cents., 117 f. 85c.; the Or-
leans Railroad Shares, 1,2351 ; Rouen, 905 f. ; Havre, 683 f.

DESTRUCTION OF THE GARRICK
THEATRE BY FIRE.—(TIIIS DAY.)
This mottling, between the hours of four and five,
Police-constable 96 11, whilst passing along his beat, dis-
covered smoke and sparks issuing from the Garrick
Theate, in Leman street, Goodman's-fields. This satis-
fied the officer that a fire was raging within the theatre.
Without a moment's loss of time an alarm was spread
in the usual way, but before any of the inhabitants
could be aroused from their slumbers the fire burst
through the roof, and, in the brief space of ten minutes,
at least one-half of the building became enveloped in
flame. An instant attempt was made to get the fire
subdued, but upon an entry into the theatre being made
it became a matter of certainty that, at least, the entire
structure must :fall a prey to the destructive element,
The Brigade engines from Wellclose and ileffrey-squares
stations were the first that arrived, and without delay
the same were set to work, under the direction of Mr.
Fogo, the foreman of the district. By that period, how-
ever, the whole tier of boxes, together with the gallery,
were wrapped in fire, and as the burning flakes fell below
they communicated with the pit and mazarine floors, so
that, by the hour of five or a little after, the theatre was
on fire from the basement to the top of the roof. The
great number of scenes and other combustible articles in
the building proved such a, powerful auxiliary to the
flames that when the roof fell in the fire mounted
several yards above the level of the house-tops in the sur-
rounding street. Other engines of the London Brigade,
with Mr. Superintendent Brsidwood, the West of Eng-
land Company's engine and firemen, with Mr. Coanorton,
and the County engine, with Mr. Garwood, arrived tone
after the other in rapid succession. 'The mains of the
East London works afforded an abundant supply of
water, which was scattered over the fire, and the several
surrounding habitations. This had the desired effect of
cutting off the progress of the fire just as it had com-
municated with the Jews'Orphan Asylum in the Tenter-
ground, and the gun factory of Mr. Scott. No sooner
had the firemen succeeded in damping the fire in the
direction before spoken of than their endeavours were
directed towards saving the Garrick Tavern, which they
accomplished by leading the hose through the theatre,
and directing the branches against the back front. The
damage, however, done to the three latter buildings is
very considerable.
By nine o'clock the firemen succeeded in getting the
flames entirely extinguished; by that hour the theatre
was entirely consumed, and the valuable wardrobe de-
stroyed; the whole of the scenery and stage appoint-
ments are likewise burned—by which calamity we regret
to state that about fifty performers will be thrown out
of employment.
As to the origin of the fire nothing that could be de-
pended upon could be ascertained, but it is the prevailing
opinion that it arose from some of the gun wadding
lodging in the " flats" during the firing of cannon at
e o:e.a ~,Iv•-•—#44.0e.e...AP,ttie-isvi; g.at—ifinstetvrenn
twelve and one this morning, the place appeared
quite
safe and free from fire.
Whilst the firemen were directing the water on the
theatre the outer wall in the Tenter-ground fell with
an awful crash ; the police and firemen had barely suffi-
cient time to get out of the way, when the same fell
and completely blocked up the road-way. As it was,
one of the police-constables was: severely injured, and
was obliged to be removed to the London Hospital,
weere he at present remains.
Although the lessees of the theatre are insured, we
understand that their loss will far exceed the amount of
their policies,_ to say nothing of the serious destruction
of property belonging to the corps dromatique.
