ROYAL CHART ER.—A telegram received yesterday
states that 1,200 sovereigns were recovered the previous
evening from the wreck of the Royal Charter, but the
weather yesterday being bad, no work could be performed.
The lump had fast hold of a large piece of the wseck, just
over where the bullion room was, and it was therefore
expected that a large quantity of gold would be recovered
when the work could be recommended.

THE EM PEROR OF RUSSIA AND HIS POLISH
Su ra ECTS.-A letter from Breslaw says : —" During the late
visit of the Emperor Alexander IL a bold step was taken by
a Pole, a Russian subject, which gave the Czar an opportu-
nity of testifying his sympathy for his subjects in Poland.
M. de L—, brother of a rich banker and Saxon Consul at
Warsaw, having metwith some difficulties on the part of the
Russian authorities in Poland, on returning to his country
on family affairs, resolved to have recourse to the kindness
of the Emperor, who was expected at Breslaw. After
several attempts to accost his Majesty, M. de seized
on the occasion of the Emperor's leaving the theatre,
where a most enthusiastic reception had been given him.
He darted forward to the window of the Imperial carriage
and presented his petition. The Emperor, after asking
some questions with great kindness, took the paper and
promised the writer his Imperial favour."
A PRIZE FIGHT DISTURBANCE.—It having
reached the ears of the police authorities that a match of the
above kind would take place the deputy chief constable,
Major M'Knight, acting on his information, sent Sergeant
Richards, from Handsworth, with three officers, to a spot
between the Beggar's Bush and the King's Standing, a
place near Ascott College, in the parish of Perry Barr.
After remaining there from eight o'clock in the morning
until one o'clock, at that hour between 1,400 and 1,500 people
assembled at this spot, there being also carriages, gigs, cars,
and cabs in large numbers, containing well-dressed people.
A ring was formed, a referee appointed, and the pugilists—
Bodger Crutchley, of Birmingham, and Posh Price, of
Wallsall—stripped and entered the ring. At this moment
Sergeant Itiehards announced that he was a police officer,
had orderi to stop any fight from taking place, and that if
they proceeded he should take down names and summon
parties before the magistrates. Crutchley said, "We shall
do as thereferee directs; if he says stop,' we do ; if' go on,'
we shall at it." The officer then spoke to the referee, a well-
dressed man, iu the ring. His answer was, "We shall not
stop the fight for you," and giving the signal to commence,
the boxers were about to engage, when six of the Warwick-
shire police came up, and the next movement was that the
six. policemen commenced pulling up the ropes and stakes.
A fellow who attends these pugilistic matches*called out,
"You won't let them fellows take the traps will you f"
At once a shower of stones and an assault of a brutal nature
was made upon a handful of police by some hundreds taking
part in the assault. Of course, resistance was useless, and,
giving up the ropes and stakes, the police-constables took to
flight. Sergeant Richards had a blow on the back of his
head with a stone.. Two of the Warwickshire police were
badly hurt, and one of them had some of his front teeth
knocked out. We learn that Colonel Hogg and Major
M'Knight are using every exertion to bring the whole of
the real offenders in this disgraceful affair to sustice.—.lllr-
