SERIOUS RIOT AT A PRIZE FIGHT.
One of those degrading exhibitions called a priz Aight
took place yesterday (Tuesday) in a field adjoining the
Cross-in-hand, n lonely district, four miles from Belper,
Derbyshire. The combatants were Thomas Paddock,
of Redditch, who a short time ago disputed the " cham-
pionship" with Bendigo; and Henry Poulson, of Not-
tingham. The fight lasted nearly two hours, at the
end of which time both the men were nearly blind,
and otherwise fearfully mutilated. At the commence-
ment: of the affray chief-constable Wragg, of Belper,
with a small force, attempted to take some of the ring-
leaders into custody; he cut the ropes

effect upon the mob, some of whom insulted, and even
went so far, we understand, as to assault the magistrate.
As soon as the fight terminated, an attempt was made
to secure the seconds and backers, as well as the comba-
tants. The principals, however, rushed out of the field,
leaving the two pugilists, who were fortunately so
bruised as to be unable to effect their escape; they were,
therefore, immediately taken into custody and lodged in
the County Gaol at Derby the same night. Several of
the police attempted to capture Callagan, a notorious
priz- fighter, who had during the riot beat unusually con-
spicuous, insulting, and, it is said, assaulting Mr. Strutt,
the magistrate. After a chase of six miles, he escaped. The
scene at the Derby station was beyond description. The'
place was besieged with the police, who strove to recognie°
the abettors in the affray on their return to Nottingham.
On the morning of the fight the most active precautions

the affairs of this bank, which failed a , short time ago, will
be brought under the operation of the Vv 'lading-up Act. The
committee of investigation have just reported that its losses
amount to 73,0001., and that a call of 0/. per share will be
required to meet them. It appears that cue of the bank's
customer's overdrew his account to the extent of 30,0001.

Court-martials are expected to be held on a ms_ter'''

Fly, who were brought home under arrest. They are
ceurged, we believe, with desertion at New South
Wales. There is also a seaman in custody, who was
some time since sent here, hating given himself up at
one of the northern ports as a deserter from the Ha-
vannah, Captain Erzkine; but strange to say no one
now belonging to that ship can identify him, though the
circumstance of a man answering the description of the
prisoner having deserted the ship at a time correspond-
ing with his statement is recorded in the ship's books.

bour while the Serpent preceeded to Calcutta with 20
invalids from the Fox, who were sent to the general
hospital to await a passage to England. The Serpent's
departure was hurried in consequence of the cholera
breaking out on hoard, during which time she lost one
man ; but, thanks to the energetic measures adopted by
the commander and medical officer of the vessel, the
disease was checked, and she left on the 28th compara-
tively healthy. She arrived on tle 9th of November at
Trincomalee, where she takes in provisions, and returns
thence to Calcutta to join the Fox. Messrs. Purvis and
