EPPING HUNT.----Ac half past twelve yesterday
a fine Stag;., that lad been hunted for the four last
seas,ins, Wilk conveyed in a covered cart, to a hol.
low plate about ,hall a mile from the Ball Faced
Stag, where he was let loe'se. ;The bounds were in
waiting:at it-short distance off, and the Stag "was

himolt in danger, he doubled, and nearly retraced
his own'titeps. :This afforded great entertainment
to -a very numerous' set of spedators. The Stag
eluded. tVe grasp of his pursuers for some time, by

PUG LAW. —Yesterday a pitched battle was
fraught for '25 guineas, in Islington Fields, between
a copper-plate engraver of 'the name of• Willis, and
Caleb Harding, a horse-dealer. The varties• are
men of property, and a dispute arose respelling
a horse sold to Willis by his antagonist. They at
length agreed that the. horse should be returned,
and that ,the sum about to be given for him
should be decided,, by a pugilistic contests—
Caleb is a known Pugilist, and Willis is a pupil
of Tom June', but never before tried: They set to,
it eagerly, and during the whole fight shifting Was
laid atidr, for each stood to his that', and exchanged
blows until One was knocktd down. After they
had continued the contest with a acorn-vs:net, spirit
for twenty minutes, Willis's strength failed him, and
the odds were in favour of Harding, who however
was severely treated: The ring was broken at this
time by the friends of Willis, is order,. as it was
supposed, to give him time to recruit his strength,
and the plan hhtt the desired e 41, for he met his
man afterwards with redoubled vigour, and the
horse-dealer -was beat blind after the battle had

leafed half an-hour.
The oil mines of Rive de Gier, in thesdepartment'
of the Rhone-, caught fire spontaneously on the
r+th of March, at nine o'clock in the evening, the'
t,ime that the workmen.. had finished their labours,
• and left the mine they first perceived'vsmoke
issuing from one of the pits. Some men descended
by another pit, which communicated withihe first,
and getting round by a gallery, per.cOsied that the
fire was in the Mine, but they could not approach
it, and were obliged .to remount immediately foffear,
of being suffocated. At eleven o'clock at night
the flames 'were• so strong -that they burst out of
the pits, which .are Bcs- torsos deep, and rose to
• the height of 40 feet. 'At that instant they adopt.
ell an expedient which helped to extinguish them,
but they could only- save one house that was near.
To arrest its progress,. they hastily stopped the
inouthas of all the openings from the exterior of the
mine, in order to prevent all consnu'nication with
the current of air. This method, in part; succeeded,'
but was by no means sufficient, They are now em-
ploy6ti in throwing the water of the: river Gier into
• toe mine. " •
