THE LATE AWFUL MINEIACCI-

DENT AT OLDBURY.

A meeting of the inhabitants of Oldbury was held on
Friday last, the 27th inst., in the Court House Room,
to take Into consideration the best means of affording
immediate relief to the widows and orphans (between 50

rising was adjourned till Tuesday, the Bth December, to
be held at the Talbot Hotel, Oldbury, at twelve o'clock.
A Committee was formed for the purpose of taking the
necessary steps to render that meeting worthy of the
important object in question, and commensurate with the
needful exigencies of the case. The subscriptions raised
at the meeting amounted to upwards of 1001.

DISGRACEFUL FIGRT.-011 the authority of Mr.
S. Burrows, Beaverlee Mill, near Eastwood, we insert
the following almost incredible statement, in the terms
in which we received it:—A fistic combat, the bellige-
rent parties being man and wife, residing in Breach-row,
Eastwood, took place very recently. The match was
"to decide the championship." They both turned into
a field, where, the female combatant having chosen te
condors, bottle-holder, &c., of her own sex, and her
husband males, she put oa a dress made to fight in for
the occasion, took off her necklace, ear-drops, &e., and
having said, " New. Bill, I mean to win or die by it,"
the conflict began. The woman is " young and beauti-
ful," and about five feet seven inches in height; her
husband but four feet ten inches. The scene was wit-
nessed by a large concourse of spectators Fifteen rounds
were fought in slashing style, occupying nearly an hour.
The success
.was varied; first the female received severe
blows on her eyes, turning them from grey to the colour
of a sloe, with copious effusion of blood; then the man
was bruised very much ab .tit the head; and ulti-
mately " a tremendous bow below the left ear " felled
the man to the ground, and decided the contest. The
woman bore away the colcu; s in triumph.—Nottingharn

Tim CARLTON CLUB.—The improvements now
going on at this club-house will be on a magnificent
scale. The building will be considerably enlarged,
and, on the completion of the whole, will present a front
larger than that of its neighbour, the Reform Club.
THE RIVER PLATE...—LIVERPOOL' SATURDAY.—
We are informed that our Government has united with
the French Cabinet in approval of Mr. Hood's proposi-
tion to terminate the difficulties of the River Plate. We
may consequently anticipate a speedy pacification of the
-affaics of the Argentine and Oriental republics.
