ed the time was now Come, when the voicti of the
people would compel the House. of Conithous to
become the iiiotruinerits of legally. and peace-
ably re-establishing the libcrtie:s of the country.
Lord CoctiHMIR condemned the Declaration of
thelate Meeting at the • London ,Tavern, as ant.
abominable aspersion on the people. It the,whole
of the money in the kingdom were placed in the
hands of Ministeg., he was confident they would
divide it among .themselves, without regard to
the interests of flwe people. tic hoped the people
of England would pOurin their petitions from all
onarteis on the House of Cotillions, Ile be-
lieved this would be of great use, though formerly
be was of opinion it would not. tie found he had
been in error, .for he had supposed them callous to
all feeling ; but , be found they were, open tO one
impression jhat Of fear. He :ht:tiled the conduct
of rife Marquis of Cannier', who, till the Prince Re-
gient had set the example of abating his income,had
not given one. shilling •of his encirmous shiecure
up to the people. A Noble Lord lie described to
have spoken on the preceding night, as if he were
in hopes that this conduct would nut be imitated
by other Sineettrists ; and, indeed,. from the lan-
guage he had held, it seemed that he considered a
very bad viample to !Nee been set on this occa-
sion, He did not believe the Prince Regent had
been shot at on his return from Parliament, but
thought the impression made on the tympanum of
the ear of Lord Jatnes'Murrity to have beets such
that be,siipposed a fifty thousand pounder to have
been discharged at' the carriage. After censoring
the mode of proceeding in the House of Com-
inons„ he begged to assure thcin he wouhl go as
far into the cause of the people as in his own
judgment he ought to go, and further he would
not go for any man, In concltoion, he declared
he %youthd rather lobe his life than see this country
,bowed down under its Govertmient, es some fo-
reign countries were under theirs.
Thanks were afterwards voted to • Major Cart-
wright and the High Bailiff, who briefly ack
ttoty-
ledged that honour in the usual terms, and the
Meeting broke up.

1\11)1A HOUSE.
eetterdny a General Court was held at the East
ndia House.
The CHAIRMAN stated the purpose of the Pro-
itriet,,rs being convened was, to consider the pro-
priety ot petitioning Parliament for leave to bring
in .a Bid to enable the Company to afford relief to
Ship-owners.
The Draft of a Petition having been read, and
motion to approve the same put and seconded, 'a
debate ensued; in which Mr Dixon, Mr. Alder-
man Atkins, Mr.. Hearne, the. Chairthan,
Impey, Mr floworth, Mr. Randal Jackson,
Lowndes,„ Hon. Mr. D. killAttird, Mr.liorrodaN,
Capt. Gorey, .Mr. VValmore, Mr. Pattison,

nh. uu MR moped, 118,411amentimenti that after
e word " That," all the words of the motion he

eft out, to introduce the following...." this Cot,
s of opinion, that any attempt to alter the presen

shipping system of the Company, the principle
which is fair and open, to competition by, public
tender, to tix the peace-freight once tor all, which
system has been reeihn'hiendred by the Diteetors in
their reports to rthe:Petiprietors, regulated by the
hyc=law, confirmed by the /Vet of tl►e 39th George
the Third, cap. 89, and acted upon to the present
time, is as dangeroni Vi's'it is impolitic; lhat, to
open up contracts' formed .with g► eat deliberation
and soletnnity, under the'sanction of public regu.
lotions, and with the'rnost explicit notice of the
conditions on which they ►were to be made, is as
dangerous to the best' interests of the Company,
as it is unjust to those owne'is whose tenders have
been iele6ted, and contrary to the spirit and prac-
, rice of commerce; and this Court cannot therefore
sanction the application 'to the LCgislature for
power to annul the terms of any existing contract's'
►with the owners of ships now employed by the
Company." .
At four o'clock the question being loudly called
for, and strangers (kilted to Withdraw, a division
took place, ►when the Amendment was lost by
very large majority] and the main question 'carrie4
in the affirmative.

BOXING.

An Imperialboxing match, to use the genera,
et in of the ring, took place yesterday At 0)011111C
Warren, for a subscripnion purse of 20 giiineasi
between Croxey the sailor, a bustling second-rater,
and a candidate for milling notoriety, who,made
his debut on this occasion-, and victory lii the pre-
sence of the Grand DrkeNtribcotAs, cannot fail of
'making hint sweet upon, himself. The Grand Duke
Nicuot.As, deSirons of viewing the British cha-
racter thronglioni, signified' his wish 4tO„Aeethe
method of English boxing ; 'and 'atthottgla upon
this occasion he had a'most complete' lq,:ight into'
the •manners of the ring, the English
bull-
bait, &c. yet he could nett have seen a much
.worse fight, as far as regarded the art of attack
And self-defence, as Croxey.:is rather a speci-
men of one of those daring intrepid men,. whose
determined courage has ranked our national cha.
ratter so, high on that cleuñiiiit Where. we yet stand
unrivalled. He is a son of Maddox fighter, rush-
ing on, heedless of danger, and what is termed in
the 'ring, a' regular giver'. and a free'receiher.. His
Imperial tiighnesfrarrived at the ring in a carriage
and four, at one o'clock accompanied by his 0,411
suite and some English NOblentrn, -adiniretii of
gymnastics. •A Waggon Wag reserved frig' the Grand
Duke's 'reception.. • and he ascended it ,with a
hearty laugh. Under it were placed the bull-
dogs and bull-hunkers, for the last sports of
the ,day. Bill Gibbons introtluced the trusty
bitch to the patricians in the waggon as the
favourite for the bull prize. Mr. Jackson
having regulated the ring, even better titan Mr.
Hunt could the Spa-fields Patriots, or the pro-
vincial-lieform Delegates, the men. entered the
ring, and to see them /am to the Imperial Stranger
was a' scene of great mirth, and the Grand Puke'
se6ted to enjoy the contrast between St. Jarnes"s
and St..Giles's; the draw ing-yoritu and the keathens.
The men stripped and began to think of their otti#
per4ons. 'Cro.rey was seconded. by Joe 'Paid and
Tom Jones, Who bad a pig at stake upon' his man;
and Fisher ,tvas ;seconded by .Oliver and Clark.
Average betting about even.
THE COMBAT.

3. Some hits were exchanged, but Fisher's bulge:ea. was
too much for his adversary's rush, and he had the lrest'of the
rental And of the fall. • ,
To give the reader a bettc;r idea or the fight, 'we 'proceed
to mewls only where execution was performed. . . . Trith round, First blood produced front Croxey's left ear, 1.4 a .well-jUdgcd blow, which left its-Mark. It seas also the first
linock-down, if it tan he called such.
7: A smart rally took place, and Croxey planted a dotibliag
hit upon his adversary's body, and at.the end of the ruund.lie
received a return in front of the face, whictri:n h vrered him.
.Croxey was mouthing for breath, and receiring• • his adver-
sary's hand cautionidy until the rimiud ended.,

fine flash hit from Croxey's right hand, which laid his eyelid
open, and with which. he went :town. lltsitelleient rounds
were merely pulling and hauling,sinled by Meowing.
14. This was the:best anti 'the' only tidy fought round in the
combat. Fisher hit his adversary upon the contuse 4. eat.A and
be was returned upon smartly on the head. There were

never been more than to 'I, awl both fell in it close.
15..Vroxey: rushed with.his right hand, which Fisher broke
and evaded, but he received Croxey's left ii) the front of the
head, and a rally followed, in which Croxey heat the worst,of
it, afthough he got off his knees twice to renew the cinirbitt,
but he had no chance after this tumid. Youth, out-fought
him : yet. be continued the combat, rolling "about out of
length,' till the ring was tired of it. He rushed without judg-
ment, and was at length bit at leisure, tis manner l

caution as a rivet-ruler would oversfen the London CoiTee-
