THE FIGHT FOR THE BELT
AND CHAMPIONSHIP.

This great contest, which has created such im-
mense excitement, came off this morning in a field
close to the Farnborough Station of the South-
Eastern Railway.

The attendance of spectators was immense, and,
ie care that had been taken in making the
arrangements, it is to be regretted that the termi-
nation of the contest was not a decided and success-

ALTERATION OF THE LITURGY.

BRITISH SUBJECTS IN LEGHORN.
The Earl of MALMESBURY asked the noble lord the
Undei Secretary for Foreign Affairs if he could give their
lordships any information relative to the compensation of
British subjects for the injuries they had sustained by the
Tuscan police.
Lord WODEHOUSE said it was quite true that an out-
rage had been committed by the police at Leghorn on the
property of British subjects, and it had been agreed that
compensation should be paid to the injured parties. The
parties had been examined by a medical gentleman appointed
by this country, and he had reported the extent of their in•
juries. The report had been sent to Florence, but the pre-
sentation of that report had been delayed by recent events.
He, however, had no doubt but that the parties would be
amply compensated by the Tuscan Government.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DESPERATE ASSAULT ON A LICENSED VICTUALLER—
THE FlGHT.—Rowland Wade, of 9, Stanley-street, Pim-
lice, builder; Robert \Vade, 33, Lillington-street, Pimlico,
bricklayer, who was said to have fought Aaron Jones in
1850, and won ; and Alfred Bridge, of 3, Bromell's-road,
Clapham, baker, were charged with being drunk, and as-
saulting Mr. James Jackson, landlord of the Crown, Cran-
bourne-passage, and also with assaulting Sergeant George
Silverton, of the C division while assisting Mr. Jackson.
From Mr. Jackson's evidence it appeared that the pri-
soner left his house that morning between 4 and 5, with
several others, to go to the fight between Tom Sayers and
the Benicia Boy, and shortly after returned end called for
gin and water, and a slight dispute arising owing to his
having charged a little more for it, in consequence of his
accommodating them by keeping his house open all night
for them, Rowland Wade then called him a thief and a con-
victed thief, and struck a blow at him ever the counter, and
on his coming round the counlerhe got a severe blow in the
eye and a kick in the groin. Two officers, who fortunately
were in the house at the time, coming to his assistance, he
was saved from possibly receiving more serious injury.
Sergeant Silverton, 293, A division, but attached to the
C division, and who was confirmed in most material points
also by Sergeant Foy, said he was at the Crown that morn-
ing, in accordance with instructions, when he heard some
dispute about some gin and water, in the course of which
Bridge and Rowland Wade called Mr. Jackson a thief. A
scuffle then ensued, and Mr. Jackson was pulled by the
hair of the head. lie (the sergeant) received a blow and
fell, and wken he got up Bridge pinioned his arms, while the
others struck him, and he was knocked down several times,
notwithstanding they knew he was an officer. The Wades
were drunk at the time.

Robert Wade, who had a fearful wound on his head, taid
he received a severe blow from Silverton, who was betting
the tight would not take place.

This was denied by the sergeant, who said the blow was
probably caused by his falling against a stool in the melee.
Mr. Jackson said the prisoner's conduct was of a most
desperate kind, and but for the police he did not know what
would have happened ; and that Bridge was undoubtedly
the cause of the whole affair.

Mr. Beadon said this was one of the brutalising offsets of
these tights, nal was a perfect curse to the country, and
brought a stigma on the country. It was perfectly shock-
ing. He should tine the two Wades £3 each, or a month ;
and tr:dge £5, or a month.

THE .211Ulte BY .1() ("HERS AT

BEECII WOOD, ILERTY.

The final inquest before the coroner, Mr. F. Day,
was held on Saturday afternoon, at Beechwood
Farm. The only witness who made any additions
to his former depositions was William Holloway,
who, it will be remembered, called at Cane's cottage
on the night of the occurrence, at about 20 minutes
to 12 o'clock, and saw Cane and Bliss there, whom
he knew, and two other men whom he did not
know. He stated that all four pen were standing
up with their caps on. They looked like men who
were going out; he told his wife so when he got
home ; they were strong-built men, lie might
know one of them again, whose side-face he saw.
Ile saw Cane and Bliss together at Cane's cottage
on the morning of that day, between 8 and 9
o'clock. When he was in Cane's cottage at night
he saw one gun only, which stood in a corner. He
heard of the terrible occurrence the next day, and
it occurred to him that it was very likely the
keepers were shot by the men whom he saw on the
night before. William Burgess said they had had
no poachers in the preserves since the occurrence.
Police-constable Townsend said that on a piece of
paper taken out of the body of the deceased there
were the words " Houghton Regis" printed. The
corner of the summons which was found in the wood
having the word " ough" written on it, was picked
up on the Saturday previous to the night of the
fatal affray. We may here remark that Dunstable,
Houghton, and Houghton Regis are one and the
same place, and that it joins Dunstable and
Totternhoe, the latter being the place where Bliss
lives. In summing up, the coroner said he did not
attribute, under the circumstances, so much import-
ance to Burgess's declaring that he believed it to
be Cane's voice which he heard in the wood. To
his mind that part of the evidence was moat im-
portant which proves that Burgess struck at the
gun raised at him, and shows the state of Cane's
gun on the morning of the murder. Stringer's
evidence was most material in connexion with these
circumstances, as it shows the condition the gun
was in when he parted with it on the previous
morning. Holloway's evidence lie considered was
also of the greatest importance, as it shows that
Cane and Bliss were together on Wednesday morn.
ing, and also as late as a quarter to 12 o'clock on
the night of the murder. The jury consulted to-
gether for about half an hour, and then returned a
verdict of wilful murder against Cane and Bliss.
A doubt has been raised -whether the murder of
Seabrook, the gamekeeper, was committed in the
county of Herts or Beds, the parish of Flamstead,
in which the mansion of Sir Thomas Sebright and
much of his preserves are situated, being in Herts,
and other parts of the woods in the parish of Whip-
snade, in Beds. The keepers were In the county
of Beds when they were shot at, and Seabrook fell
with his head in Herts and his feet in Beds.

ENCROACHMENTS OF THE SEA AT LARGO.—With-
in the last hundred years (says the IVelierald) the sea has
advanced considerably inland at this place. The housei
now situate close upon the beach, during high tides, are
often assailed by Old Neptune. In furious rage the waves
lash up upon the inn at the harbour, and westward the
cottages are equally compelled to endure the force of his
fury. The time was when a considerable way seaward a
