CAuTiosi.—The licensed victuallers in the neigh-
bourhood of Islington have for a considerable time been
victimised by the following means :—lt appears that a
tall fellow, accompanied by a female of almost equal sta-
ture, enter the house as if just from a long journey; a
glass of mixed liquor is ordered, and, in the course of
drinking, a request is made for a steak or chop, &c.
Wherever the request has been acceded to, the parties
have invariably made off during the progress of cooking,
with glasses, spoons, and, in several cases, even with
spittoons, pipe-rests, and any other available article.
Yesterday, the landlord of the Kenilworth Castle, in the
North-road, was robbed of three tumblers and an eight-
day clock; it is suspected by the same individuals.
BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN BANE.—Yesterday
was held a special extraordinary meeting of the pro-
prietors of this corporation, established some years
since for the purpose of extending banking facilities in
British North America, to fill up a vacancy in the Court
of Directors, by the death of the late Mr. Pemberton.
The meeting was held at the bank's home in St. Helen's-
place, and the chair was taken by Mr. Carter. The
candidates were Mr. W. Chapman and Mr. Fowler
Nevvsam. After a somewhat animated discussion of
the merits of the candidates, a show of hands was
taken, which terminated by a large majority in favour
of Mr. Chapman, who was accordingly declared to be
elected a Director. Thanks having been voted to the
Chairman, the meeting separated.
Prtan Finial` ion ONE HUNDRED PoUNDs.—
Yesterday the contest between the well known pu-
gilists, Harry Broome and Joe Rowe, came off near
Urtivesend. `This was the second appearance of
Broome, the first fight having been with 'Mason. Rowe
has figured in the ring on several occasions, and dis-
played great courage and science. The weight of the
men was limited to ten stone five pounds. and it was
arranged that steam-boats should be provided to convey
the combatants and their respective friends to the
appointed locality. In accordance with this agree-
ment, they left Hungerford-pier with a large number
of the pugilistic school, and duly arriving at their
destination, a ring was formed, and the neces-
cessary preliminaries completed, the spectators amount-
ing to throe thousand. The men stripped and shook
hands, and operations were commenced with much cau-
tion, both men evidently waiting the attack. The first
roufiti_ occupied eleven minutes. The men then began with
spirit. They coli!floc10 with much coyness till the ninth
