THE FIGHT.

1. Barnash confident and ready, Phelps cautious and col-
lected. Sparring,• sundry feints, oilers, refusals, and no gifts
on either side. Barnash, thus early, had a fancy for deli-
vering his right at the body, thereby making a present of his
head. Phelps seized the:advantage, and gave his man an
ugly rap, but with the modesty of a maiden effort did not
follow it up. Barnash made two good offers with his left,
but Phelps was not to be drawn. At last they got warm,
and felt each other.- A merry rally—exchanges—and Phelps
slipped down in the hitting.
2. It was evident that Barnash was the stronger man; he
stepped in, let go lis right and bored Phelps, who judici-
ously retreated, but caught his man two tidy smacks with
the left as he Caine in. These were the first instalments of
souse heavy payments, as the sequel will show. Both down,
Phelps under.—(3 to 2on Phelps thus early.)
3. Barnash again tried his right at the body, but without
effect; the return from Phelps on his left eye was electric;
it was followed by his right, when Barnash, resolved not to
stand to be shot et, went in, and Phe ps got down with more
discretion than valour. We believe, however, that in this
he followed the "Lord of the Castle's" advice, and good ad-
vice it was.
4. Phelps's mischievous left in on Barnash's already da-
maged
ogle. Barnash nailed Phelps in the ribs—connter
hits—a rally—Phelps down in the hitting, but he had tapped
the Westminster Pet's claret in the melee, and thus "First
blood for Phelps" was " the quotation," as the railway scrip
holders have it.
5. Barnash "grinned horribly a ghastly smile " as Phelps
popped in a pretty lefthander, on the sore place. Barnash,
bold as a lion, went in; a close, an attempt at fibbing on the
part of Barnash ; lie could not screw his man up, and Phelps
got down, Barnash on him.
6. Phelps led off with his left; these visitations were un-
endurable, Barnash's left eye was already swelling. The
Westminster Pet, however, seemed unconscious of his infe-
rior tactics, bustled his man, got in his favourite right once,
received twice on the head in return, but fought Phelps down
in his own corner.
7. Barnash still wedded to his mistaken project of reach-
ing his man with his most distant hand. Phelps tapping,
rapping, stabbing, and *aging with his left on poor Bar-
nash's left side cf his frontispiece, till he seemed to hare
but one side left, and that was the right, which was all
right. A rally, a close, and Phelps got down on his knees
at the ropes, according to advice, which no doubt he liked,
for Barnash was very angry, very strong, and very dan-
gerous.

8. Barnash tried all he knew, he fought bravely, but with-
out judgment. Phelps, still cool as a cucumber, planted his
left, jumped back, did it again, got back again, and in the
st 3 le of Owen Swift, did fight with both hands, and yet keep
the left prominent. Physical force he might he deficient in,
and occasionally his hits wanted impetus, but
" Gutta cavat lapidem non vi sed sxpe cadendo,"
and his continual dropping in on poor Barnash's left cheek
had darkened that side of his shop. "Give him a rap on the
right side," said Spring; but Barnash rushed in on his man
so determinedly, that Phelps had no opportunity till round
9. When, upon this hint he acted, catching Barnash again
with his busy left, but this time on the dexter ogle; the
Westminster-Pet ran in, and the Brighton hero struck his
flag by getting down.

1-0.-B—antasi;'s left eye going, and his right by no means a
sparkler; spirited exchanges; Barnash caught Phelps a tidy
smack on the left eye, Phelps's return went over Barnash's
shoulder; a close—Phelps under.
11. Time ! time ! Phelps -up, but. Barnash slow, but though
slow in coming up, the reverse in forcing the business; he
ratthd in, Phelps jobbing prettily, but-declining close quar-
ters; another rally—two rounds in one; a close; Barnash
tried to get Phelps in a fibbing position, but Phelps got down.
12 to 44.—A1l the affair on one side. What boots it to
weary the rtmler with a minute detail of prop and plant, and
job, of stop, counter and rally, for forty-four active rounds—
rounds, wherein game, strength, and resolution, struggled
against neat, active, cautious, and self-possessed fighting.
At the last named round it was evident to all who saw it,
that Barnssles last chance was gone ; twice had he been
slow to the call of time; twice had he run himself down in
wild and purblind efforts to get at his man. his heart was
i,ood, but his " right-hand" had lost its cunning, and at the
close of the 44th round-Jemtny Shaw, his second, very pro-
perly threw up the sponge in token of defeat. But Barnash
" repudiated the surrender;" a minute and upwards had,
however, elapsed, ere he became conscious of his position;
yet he vigorously pursued his man round the ring, despite
the efforts of his friends to restrain him. Phelps very pro-
perly made his exit ; it would have been cruelty to allow a
brave man to be further punished, even did not the laws of
the ring, which, despite cant, prejudice and cowardice, are
honourable, brave and humane, forbid it. And thus ended
the merry mill of 'Tuesday, without a regret for those who
revere the ring. osi sic oninia.—Ackertis,r.

LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY.— Last night the
annual meeting of the Surrey Chapel Auxiliary of this So-
ciety was held in Surrey Chapel, Blackfriars-road ; the
Rev. J. Sherman, the president, in the chair. The report
stated that the Society had missionaries in Asia, Africa,
Polynesia, and the West Indies ; they had 439 stations, 131
churches, 165 European missionaries, and 603 European and
native assistants, and the most flattering accounts had been
received from the Hervey Islands at Avarna, China, Amoy,
Singapore, Madras, Latakoo, and islands in the West Indies.
The contributions for the year were—from the Jubilee
Fund, 3951., ordinary receipts, 2801. 13s. 9th, contributions
by the ladies, 1061. 12s. 10d. ; making a total of
7821. 6s. 7d. The meeting, which was most nume-
rously attended, was, at considerable length, addressed
by the Rev. Mr. Joseph, missionary from Otaheite,
the Rev. Mr. Chalmers, Mr. Joseph 'Payne, and seve-
ral other gentlemen, strongly advocating the claims of
the Society. A vote of thanks to the chairman for his ex-
ertions on behalf of the Society was then given by the meet-
ing. A most liberal collection was made at the doors.
SIAMESE TWINS —A few days ago, a poor woman
between five and six months advanced in pregnancy, the
wife of a labouring man, and mother of two healthy children,
residing at 7, Gloucester.place, Islington-green, having been
ill for a week, Mr. Dommett, a surgeon near the spot, was
called in, and found her in the pains of labour. She thought
that could not possibly be the cause of her sufferings, but
before many hours had elapsed she was delivered of still-born
female twins, between whom an union exists from the chest
to the abdomen. The above gentleman thus describes this
most extraordinuary case :—Both children are exceedingly
well formed in every limb and feature excepting that por-
tion constituting the union, and even this is not a deformity.
They measure twelye inches long, and are 21b. 3oz. avoir-
dupois weight; their features are well made and regular,
with great symmetry in their limbs, and a fair development
of muscle; there are two umbilical cords entering the abdo-
men together, and united together by a thin membrane,
which to a casual observer appears as one, so that, indepen-
dently of the unity, they are externally two perfectly-formed
children, like the Siainese twins, with this exception, that
the union is altogether different from them, as the union
consists of an adhesion of the ribs of the right side to the left
of the other, which is to the sternum above and to the carti-
lages of the false ribs below, the whole covered with the
common integument and muscles from the chest to the lower
part of the abdomen. In examining the chest Mr. Dommett
found each distinct from the other, there being no communi-
cation, but separated by its ribs, muscles, pleura, eezc , the
contents of each being natural, with well-formed lungs and
heart; but such was not the case with the abdomen, for
here was found one common cavity for both, with separate
viscera nn each side, with the exception of the liver, which
extended from the side of one to the opposite side of the other,
forming one liver for both. This, with the distribution of the
vessels from the end, were the only deviations observed. The
other viscera were in their usual places and number—namely,
each had a stomach, small and large intestines, spleen, two
kidneys, bladder, uterus, and each in perfect position. They
have been carefully preserved in spirits by Mr. Dommett.—

Regiment of Foot (Durham Light Infantry), under the corn
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Lord IVilliain Paulet, was in.
spected on Saturday at Portsmouth, by Major_ General Hon.
Sir Hercules Pakenham, Who expressed himself highly gra-
tified with its interior arrangement in quarters, and its steadi-
ness and precision in the field. The Major-General and his
staff dined with the officers in the Colewort Barracks. Cat.
Philips' company is quartered at Tipper Point (Ordnance
station) ; Captain M'lleath's, at Fort Monekton ; and a de-

FATAL EFFECTS OF QUACK E Y.—_on
Saturday
afternoon Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Fountain, James-
street, Green-street, Bethnal-green, on the view of the body
of Mary Anne Price Maddox, aged ten years, the daughter
of weavers living in James-street, who was alleged to have
died from the improper administration of herbs as medicine.
It appeared that the deceased had been in a good state of
health till last Sunday week. When her mother was advised
to go to a herbist, named Mellott, residing in the same street.
He prescribed sonic pills, which were composed of a red and
white powder, and gave a quantity of herbs, which she was
to boil in a quart of water, and which was to be re-
duced to a pint and a half. Of this she was to drink as
much as she pleased. Deceased, however, derived no benefit.
The sickness which first affected her, and for which the pills
and herbal drink had been administered, remained. The
mother again called upon Mr. Monett, who recommended the
same stuff. Deceased died on Monday morning last, and on
a post mortem examination by Mr. Smart, surgeon, Cambridge-
heath, deceased was found to have died from an ulceration
of the greater portion of the lower intestines, which had bsen
br,,ught on by typhus fever. The Coroner having cautioned
tht mother against applying to quack medicines, observed,
that had her child received proper medical assistance it
might hive been then alive. Verdict, " Natural death."
Oxfarw, OCT. 4.—Mr. J. D. Dalgairns, M.A.
of Exeter College, in this University, who lias been some
time resident with Mr. Newman, at Littleniore, has made his
formal submission to the Roman Catholic Church.
