PUGILISM.—Yesterday, the fight between Haggerty
and Johnson came off twenty miles down the Brighton
Railway. The men were matched for 201. a-side, and
created a good deal of interest among the Westminster
school. A ring having been formed, the men stripped
and commenced the combat with much quickness. Hag-
gerty soon gave evidence of his superior " generalship,"
and the men fought with great determination ; and at
the expiration of one hour it was quite apparent the
battle was in the hands of Haggerty. They continued
the contest, which occupied one hour and twenty mi-
nutes, when the friends of Johnson withdrew him from
the contest, and Haggerty came off the winner. Hag-
gerty has figured several times in the ring, while John-
son had now made his first appearance.
ANOTHER INSTANCE OF HONESTY NOT REWARDED.
—On Friday, the 27th ult., a boy, named David Lawson,
in the employment of Messrs. Robert Mitchell and Co.,
wine-merchants, Old Physic-gardens, Edinburgh, hav-
ing occasion to be in the British Linen Company's Bank,
found a 1001. note, which be handed over to one of the
tellers ; and the note was afterwards claimed by --
and stockbrokers. We publish the circumstance,
as we understand that the boy has received no
othe
ward for his honesty.—Edinburgh Witmer. r re-

they might be taken into custody and conveyed to prison.
They had neither father nor mother, and no friend in
the world.
Mr. JARDINE said they had better be committed for
trial, and instructed the officer to inform the judge be-
fore whom they would be tried of their wretched and
destitute condition. They would then, no doubt, upon
conviction, be sent to some asylum where their wants
would be attended to, and provision made for their
future life.
The poor boys were then fully committed for trial, and
they seemed pleased at the prospect of having a shelter,
although that shelter was a prison.

MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.)
AN INCiRRIGIBLE HORSE-STEALER.—Edward Drake
was charged with stealing a pony from a common near
Dempsey, Worcestershire, the property of Andrew
Meridge.
The prisoner, who has been tried on more than one
occasion at the Old Bailey for horse-stealing, was
charged at this office about three weeks ago with stealing
a colt, for which offence he was committed for trial, and
he was yesterday tried and acquitted. On his leaving
Newgate he was apprehended on the above charge.
The prosecutor stated that the pony was stolen on the
morning of the 6th of June last. Information of the
robbery was sent to the police in London, and the pony
was traced to a person named Taylor, a greengrocer, at
Bayswater, who bought it from the prisoner for 5/. The
prisoner on being taken into custody by Alfred Hughes,
174 D, said (alluding to the case in which he had been
acquitted)--" I dare say I can beat him as in this case."
Several of his friends came round, and some of them said,
" I sold it to him," " I'll say I sold it."
The prisoner said he bought the pony at Bicester on
the 7th of June, of a person named Hex, who lives at
Woodstock. ,

Mr. RAwLINSON said you are a lucky man to buy so
many stolen horses.
Re was then fully committed, and will be tried at the
present sessions, on Thursday next.
[The reporter, in reference to remarks which were
appended to a case disposed of at this court yesterday,
states that there is a great disparity between the deci-
sions of the magistrates of this and other police-courts.
Prostitutes who have been seen by a policeman to speak
to a man in the street, are invariably committed to
the House of Correction for a month without the option
of paying a fine—wretched creatures, who have merely
solicited charity by holding a piece of paper before them
stating that they are in abject want, are as invariably
sent for fourteen days. Drunkenness, unaccompanied
by either obscene language or riotous conduct, is priced
at 55., whilst at Queen-square, and other police-
courts, the really poor are only fined is. Such severity
and straining of the law is highly censurable.]

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY).
George Lee was charged with stealing 51 from his
mother, a poor milk-woman, living in King-street,
Drury-lane.

The prisoner, who did not seem more than fourteen
years of age, has been the torment of his poor mother's
life. Finding her from home a few days ago, the young
rascal broke open a drawer in which the above sum was,
the hard-earned savings of a whole life, and went off
immediately and spent the whole sum among his wicked
companions.—Committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Timothy Connor, Patrick Conway, and Michael Con-
way, were placed at the bar on the following charge
William Hasler, the driver of a cab, stated that last
evening as he was sitting on his box on the stand in the
Haymarket, the defendants, who came reeling out of a
cigar shop, seized his horse's head, and drove the animal
sharply round three times. On his remonstrating with
them, the defendant Michael Conwsy struck him a vio-
lent blow in the face, then tore off his badge and threw
it down in the street ; they were both in a very intoxi-
cated state.
Police-constable' No. 80 of the C division, stated that
he conveyed the defendants to the station-house. On
getting there they behaved in a very riotous and disor-
derly manner, and commenced an attack upon the con-
stable present.
The defendants were fined 3/. each, or six weeks' im-
prisonment. Not having the amount required about
thew they were locked up.

UNION-HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Faithful, a man of respectable appearance,
I was charged before Mr. Traill, with having violated the
person of Eliza Nott, the daughter of a tradesman.
From the complainant's statement it appeared that
the prisoner lived next door to her, and that on the pre
ceding day he called at the house and inquired after her
father. She told him he was out, and, knowing the
family, ho walked into the parlour, and, after a little
time, kissed her. That she reproved him, but he paid
no regard to it, and proceeded to use violence towards
her, and threw her down on the floor. She resisted, and
called out, and, according to her evidence, he committed
the capital offence.
The complainant underwent a lengthened cross-exami-
nation by Mr. Humphries on behalf of the prisoner, in
the course of which she admitted that a man in her
father's employ called immediately after the ill-usage she
experienced, but she did not claim his protection, nor did
she complain of the conduct of the defendant.
Mr. TRAILL remanded the prisoner until farther evi-
dence is produced on Friday.

FLANDERS AND HAMBURG MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, OCT. 20.—The ratifications of the treaty of
commerce and navigation concluded on the Ist of Sep-
tember between Belgium and the German Zollverein,
were exchanged yesterday at the residence of the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affaires.
We learn that the King has just appointed M. de Perez
Governor of the Dutch settlement at Macassar, to the
rank of Officer of the Order of Leopold, as an acknow-
ledgment of the generosity and kindness with which he
received and treated the officers and sailors wrecked in
the Belgian brig the Charles. His Majesty has also
given the rank of Knight of the Order to Lieutenant F.
Hoofd of the Royal Artillery of the Netherlands, com-
mander of the Arend brig, and to Lieutenant Herch,
commanding the Hecla steamer, as an acknowledgment
of the eminent services which they rendered to the
Belgian flag in the river of Gooty, in Borneo.
BERLIN, OCT. 11.—Prince Albert, who has hitherto
commanded the fifth division (in the third corps of the
army), has, to the surprise of every body, been deprived
of his command. It is probable that he will shortly be
appointed to a higher station in the army.
HANovErt, OCT. 11.—The general conjecture that M.
Von Falcke would be the successor of M. Schele seems
not to be realised. M. Von Falcke will certainly con-
tinue to be the soul of the Cabinet, as he was, but we
learn that he will certainly not be Minister, and that he
has no inclination to become so.—fiamburgh Papers.
