THE FANCY.

NED NEAL AND JACK NICHOLLS.—Last night, at Reu-
ben INlartin's, the multiplicity of business to be transacted
had collected a jolly meeting. Neal and Nicholls's affairs
were the first on the lists—the last deposit having to be
made good—bath men's money were put down by their
friends, and the whole stakes of 1001. a-side were com-
pleted. The tight conies off on Tuesday next, within a
distance of 50 miles, and to exceed 45 miles. The odds,
at present, are 7 to 4 on Ned Neal.

Brown, the Nottkampton baker, and Blisset, the stone-
mason, who are to fight in the same ring in which Neal
and Nicholls contend, had their final deposit made good
after the above business had been gone through :-10/.
a-side is down for each, for which, and a purse to be col-
lected on the ground, they are to fight. Both men were
present. Brown is rather a favourite at the Tennis Court ;
Blisset is not known. They are both heavy weights, and
this is their first appearance in the London ring.
NED SAVAGE AND PETER SWEENEY. —The fifth deposit
in this match was to have been made good at the same time
with the other two above mentioned. Time was called and
Ned Savage was not provided with the needful, his friends
had disappointed him, and he was quite in a stew. Peter
claimed forfeit, and it was adjudged to him. The money
down was 20/. a-side, and the match was only for 30/.
a-side in all. About 20 minutes after:lo o'clock Ned's
friends arrived with the cash, but it was too late. Ned
blew 'them up; and some attempts were made to effect a
compromise with Sweeney, but it could not be accom-
plished. Peter's friends stated that they would snake a
new match for Peter to fight Ned, 50/. to OW., but nothing
was done in it.
STOCKMAN AND .TONES.—The stakeholder made public
that he would give up the battle-money, and bets in his
hands on this match, at Tom Spring's, on Thursday even •
ing (to-night).

DUDLEY DOWNES AND NED STOCKMAN.—The friends
of Ned are busily at work to bring about a match between
Ned and Dudley.

Ninety-four vessels from ports abroad were
entered at the Custom-house on Monday.

The Madagascar, 46, is to be commissioned
by Capt. the lion. ROBERT SPENCER, to reinforce the
squadron in the Mediterranean.

SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS.

" The statement which was yesterday circulated
of the actual arrival of the young Queen of Por-
tugal at Falmouth, appears to have been at that
time premature. There is, however, He appre-
hend, little doubt of the truth of the account
_ _ _

under the protection of British hospitality, or of
which was yesterday published of her being soon
lief becoming an object of active and respectful
attent;on on the part of all classes of our coun-
trymen. What reception is designed for Donna
Maria da Gloria by the King's Government,
ought, we think, to be announced, without a
moment's delay or hesitation. That she must
be acknowledged the rightful Queen of Portugal,
and as such treated with that cordial and eager

s
of this Cabinet has mainly
contributed
her, admits of no reasonable question. Miguel
came to England as Regent only--a subordinate
officer to the Queen who now arrives here, and
created by the same authority which has raised
her to the throne, viz.—" the Head of the
august House of Braganza." Miguel, .as
his brother's officer, was overwhelmed with
proofs of attachment and of reverence
.. ..

Arum his Majesty and all his servants.—
This was all to illustrate the fulness of his

Majesty's recognition of Don Miguel as a func-
tionary appointed by Don Pedro, and of his
Majesty's confidence that Don Miguel would
faithfully execute his trust. It is manifest, there-
fore, that Maria da Gloria, the true and lawful
Queen of Portugal, by virtue of the same title
under which Miguel was recognized for Regent,
has a right to an immediate acknowledgment by
Great Britain of her authority as the sovereign
of her treacherous uncle. The utmost respect
and most generous friendship ought in conse-
quence to be shown this Royal Infant. She is
not less Queen than Miguel was Regent, except we
admit his right to wrest the diadem from her. But
we have withdrawn our Ambassador from Lisbon.
Why ? Because Miguel usurped the crown to
which he swore allegiance. Our Ministers,
therefore, however well-inclined, must not now
call him a rightful Sovereign whom they recently
stigmatized by the most solemn demonstration as
a rebel. They cannot refuse to Maria da Glo-
ria those rights which, if they withhold from her,
they by the same act transfer to the usurper. The
Royal child being then thrown upon England
for protection, brings the question to an imme-
diate issue, releases this country from the op-
probrious imputation of secretly countenan-

This just treatment of the infant Queen is no

interference either for the Constitution or against
it. The Constitution is a matter of internal
government with which properly we have no
concern ; but beyond dispute we are called upon
to give the lawful heiress of an ancient friend
her full share -of that liberal and affectionate

hospitality, so much of which was lavished upon
the wretch who has waged an impious war
against her Crown, and has persecuted, robbed,
and trampled on her subjects. What ulterior
measures England is to adopt will depend, of
course (if the King's speech was meant seri-
ously), on the wishes and requisitions of Don
Pedro. Some curious reports on the subject of
Madeira will be found in our city article. Valdez

seems to have taken his cue frc;m some gallant

commanders nearer home, and to have fled with
more alacrity than his soldiers. 'rite hopes en-
tertained of the Royal troops in the island re-
sisting ashore the superior enemy whom they
could not prevent from landing, we should bo
happy to cherish if we knew how; but we are
tired of hoping.— Times.
A meeting was held at Maidstone on Tueq,
day last, loy_a portion of the inhabitants 44... the
comity of Kent, for the purpose, as our report
says, " of considering the propriety and the
best means of expressing the firm attachment of
the people assembled to the Constitution of
these realms, and their determination to uphold

, Club. This club,
the principles which placed the House of limns-
wick on the throne." Well, the best and pro-
perest means for expressing the aforesaid " at-
tachment and determination" seemed to be the
svhCicohnsitsitutotiobnealformed,
establishment of a club, to be called the Kentish,
will

as many epithets as the man's " anti-corrosive,

gas paint, we see
advertised every where. Itwill endure as long
therefore, Brunswick,
also, we have no
doubt, and will preserve the
British Constitution from
the attacks of vermin
and the decays of time. Lord Winchilsea
opened the debate, aid proposed the first reso-
lution to the effect stated above—the formation
of a club. With respect to this meeting and
others of a similar character which are said
to be in agitation, it is clearly their object
to controul and fetter the operations of Go_
vernment on the important measure of Catho-
lic emancipation. The Duke of Wellington,
whatever may be his idea upon that vital question,
would at least wish to be left more free to
choose than will infallibly be the case if clubs of
the nature of that now sprung up in Kent be
established all over the kingdom. The project
of such clubs is said to have been conceived by
the Duke of Cumberland, and to have been left
• on his recent departure by him, from England,
legacy to facilitate
as athe operations
othe
Duke of Wellington's Government, and render
his Grace's path smooth ! The persons who
agreed to the formation
of the Club in Kent—
for it appears, that of those who met, there were
many dissentients—state it to be their determi-
nation " to
the ' •
uphold principles which placed
the House of Brunswick on the throne." But
we would beg leave to ask whether persecution
r
for r
e igious belief was not the principle which
drove the House of Stuart f .rom the throne, ra-
ther than that which placed the House of Bruns-
wick on it? However, as we have just said, the
meeting was far from being unanimous. Lord
Teynham spoke with great force and much
knowledge against the plan of establishing a
club ; and Lord Bexley (the late Mr. Vansit-
tart) declared that he would not be a member of
it, hinting pretty plainly his opinion that the
best method of preserving the Constitution un-
impaired might be found in certain modified con-
cessions to the Catholics. " Whether that consti-
tution," said his Lordship, ~ can be best main-
tained by things remaining as they are at present,
rby the adoption of some safe modification,
.)rounded on certain securities, it is not the busi,
