Yesterday. the• match between aDanne'l and
Emery was decided at a place called Hodgd,on Green,
near the .6th bridge of the Paddington Canal. Tom
slake was second, and Will Ryan bottle-holder, to
Q'Donnel ; Tom Jones second, ana one Fred White,
bottle-holder, for Emery. The combatants set to
with the uttuast spirits. ,Bets rather iu . favour
of O'Donnel, and it was soon diseovered that he Ir.id
considerably the advantage in point of scientific
skill. The other, however, was seen to be an ex-
cellent bottom-man; he fought in a more lively style
than O'Donnel, as he set to in a more animated
manner, and struck much quicker. The courage of
Emery held out longer than could be expe&cd, -and
his friends had hopes that liewould, by his atlivityi
be able to turn the balance in his favour. At the
19th round lie becathe exhausted, and gave in after
having fought near 40 minutes., A great crowd a -
sembled, but few of note either as fighting men or
amateurs were present.

An important diScOvery was lately made of a gang
of thieves who have fora long time past infested
the neighbourhood of Exeter. It will be recolleded
that within the course of the last 12 mouths many
advertiSements 'have been published and'hand-bills
circulated, offering rewards for the discovery Of per-
`sons who 'have been guilty of various, burglaries, and
of robbing several gardens in t he city and neighbour-
hood, from whence they. have stolen large quantities
of wearing apparel, bed and table linen, household
furnitttre, Sze. Although large, sums, have 'been of-
fered, the villains have till' lately evaded the diligent
'search.that has been made for them. Mr. WeAlake,
master of the Lamb and Lien public-house,' in St.
Tho Mas, having risen early for the purpose of brew-
ing, found,. to `leis astonishment, that during the
night he had :been 'robbed of several bags 'of malt
which- he had prepared for use---and on' further
search, that a pocket.of hops had been cut in two,
and that part on Which there -were inn 'marks had
also been tarried off. This circumstince_has most
fortunately*, led to their detection, for ,the hops
which they took with them, being improperly se-
cured, formed a train, by which they were traced
froth the spot whence they were taken to a small
pUblic4iouse (the Blue salll, in EiseAane, kept by a
man named Osborne,,a distance of nearly half a
mile. Mr'. Sarell; the City constable, was
iminedi-
ately called,, and, on se.afehing'the.pretuises, found
the Male, hopS,,an immense number ofshirts, sheets,
steckingi, househUld'furniture, and other-articles of
every description, which had been stolen:- the
goods were immediately removed to the guildhall,
for the inspeaion of the public ; and the greater
pare have already been claimed and sworn to by
those who have been robbed'by this hest of thieves:
Osborne has abscOnded with some of his =coin-
pikes ; one' of thern, however, With OsbOrna's wife,
is in custody, and have voluntarily confessed a part
of the many depredations they have committed on
the public. , •
In the beginning of March last, a ewe, belong-
, ing to Mr. Git.retoute„,-a
,farmer, at Oldhall, Parish
Fenwick, bad it lamb, `and on Sunday st?nnight
she had another ; both lambs and the mother are
doing Well. .
A. carrot of uncommon size was lately dug,up in a
garden in the braes of the Carse Otll;iwrie. It weighed
jib. 70i. after having.stem and leavescut away close,
and the top taken Off as far as one inch •diarneter.
Its length, after being thus topped, was 144 inches.
It greW.in a soft blact mould, without any particular
care, in a bed of carrots of the conunon red kind.
A late. Mississippi Paper states, that in conse-
quence of the heaVy rains, during the past summer,
the creps` of ecitton will be very scanty .indeed.
