between three and four o'clock, the King, accompanied by
the. Lord Steward, and the Earl of Fife, as-Ixid-in Wait-
iirg, left the Royal Lodge in a close carriage, dravin by four
-horses, and drove by two postillions in the Royal livery,
-attended by the usual retinue of outriders, and proceeded
by tire main- route of the new plantations, Snow- Hill, the
Long Walk, and the new dineof road leading to the grand
entrance of the> Castle, where his Majesty arrived at a quar-

spirits, and is in the full enjoyment of_ excellent health.
There were no new- arrivals at the Castle, and; at the
usual hour, his Majesty honoured his distinguished attend.

DERRY.—The Meeting of the County of
Londonderry, field at Newtownlimavady on Thursday, was
as numerous as that held at Dungannon on Tuesday. We
cannot find room for a report of the proceedings in our pre-
sent number, but we cannot avoid noticing that the con-

trust their petition to their Representative so called, and
the men-of Derry were perfectly right—Dublin Even-

BRITISH MUSEUM..--The new Catalogue will
run to the unparalleled extent of 15 quarto volumes, ex-
ceeding, by several volumes, the catalogue of the Royal
Library at Paris,. hitherto reckoned the most voluminous
extant. It does scot merely enumerate the contents of thci
Museum, but, at the• end of every section or division, is
appended a list of all the books that have been written on
the particular branch of literature under discussion, with
short notices of the works, the various editions they have
passed through, and where the more curious or scarce are
deposited.—Athenccum. .
WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.—The scholars on
the foundation of Westminster School represented the
Adelphi of Terence, for the second time this season, last
night. The Comedy was well east and much applauded,'
particularly by Sir W. Curtis, who was much struck with
its peculiarly classical Latinity. The Bishops of Exeter and
Llaudaff, Solicitor. General, and a host of celebrated
men, were present. _ _

BATH, DEC. 10.—The passengers by the
York-house . coach. from Cheltenham, had a very narrow
escape for their lives on Monday evening. On leaving
that town, it was evident that .the coachman, either from
intoxication or carelessness, was incapable of managing the
horses, acid notwithstanding.the frequent remonstrances of
thd passenger+, be 'continued to drive in a furious and dan-
gerous manner. Soon 'after reaching Cross Hands, the
coachman fell from his box into the road, when the horses.
Set off at full gallop : one outside passenger, a farmer, con—
trived to get down, but was thrown into the road, and
covered with mud. To add •to the alarm, there was a
dreadful storm of thunder and lightning, and snow was fall-
ing at the time. 'On arriving at Oldtield turnpike, the re-
maining passengers expected nothing less thaninstant&-
struction; but fortunately, the gate happened to be open,
and the horses went clear through. The keeper of the
turnpike had by this time become alarmed by the screams
of.a female cutside, and assisted by the person who, had
alighted, they at length suceeeded in stopping the horses..--
The passengers afterwards procured post .chaises,. and
reached Bath about four hours after the usual time. The
est•spe of the coach'intua was most miraculous, having only
sustained a dislocation of the arm, &c. He bas been ten
years in his situation. .
On Tuesday evening a fire, which threatened
most alarming consequences, broke out in a Venetian blind-
. maker's, at the bask of Alfred-street, Math. The flames
communicated to the stables behind the Lansdowne
Arms, belonging to the York House, and ignited a quan-
tity of hay and straw, which blazed up with amazing fail.
The supply of water, however, was
•plentitui, and after
burning two houre, the fire was happily got under. It is
not a little singular that precisely about this time last year
a considerable pot tiun of York Howie was destroyed by tire.

THE PRIZE RING.

FIGHT BEWEEN lIENDERSON AND PARISH,

FOR FIFTY POUNDS ASIDE.

:W'.: re-insert the fol,owing,•whieli appeared only in part of

our impression, yesterday;

This fight took place near Bristol on Tuesday. I
Never was there a greater sensation created in this
sporting city than the announcement of the above
set-to has occasioned. •It has furnished the almost
exclusive theme of conversation with the Bristol
fancy since its first being broached until the present
time. At an early hour this morning, every vehicle,
from the four-in-hand down to the donkey cab (and
there were numbers of both kinds) was put in requi-
sition, and the roads leading to the scene of action
were thronged with every variety of traveller. The
place appointed was Patcham, a village a few miles
from Bristol; and in case the champions should meet
with any let or hindrance from the beaks at this
spot, it had been arranged before-hand to remove to
a gentleman's park hard by,- which had been offered
to them for the contest, the proprietor being a great
sporting character himself. No opposition, how-
ever, was offered; and shortly after one o'clock
Parish entered the ring, attended by Bailey and
Redman ; soon after him, Henderson made his ap-
pearance, accompanied by Neate and old Bob
Watson. Both men appeared in e:icellent condition.
Henderson is the biggest man, mid has all along
been the favourite. Last night very heavy bets were
made at five to four in his favour. There were not
those wanting, however, who held a directly op-
posite'.opinion, and beta to a considerable amount
were offered and accepted in favour of Parish. The
concourse assembled by this time- on the scene of
action beggars all description. It was decidedly the
most numerous we have ever witnessed in this
county ; there could not, moderately speaking, be
less than 4,000 persons present, ninny of whom
were gentlemen of the tip-top fashion ; and the
turn-out altogether would not have disgraced a
nearer proximity to London.
The following is a brief outline of the fight. There
were no feWer than 45 rounds, although it did not
occupy a greater space of time than an hour. Hender-
son was the first to draw blood; in the very first
round, when he gave his antagonist a terrible smash
in the face. All appeared to go remarkably smoothly
with Henderson, and of course the tide of popular
opinion set iu on his side. 'The betting, after the
fifth round, was 10 to 1 in his favour. At about the
35th round, Parish _appeared to be-rallying ; he had
evidently got fresh wind, and he fibbed into his
adversary in prime style; but in the very next
round he got a terrible knock-tae-down argument
from Henderson. All through the fight Henderson
had the advantage, by meeting • his antagonist's
rushes' with wonderful coolness; he, indeed, re-
ceived but one dangerous blow-all the time, which
was in the neck. There . was a good deal of fight-
ing at the ropes 'doing the affair, and a consider
able degree of confusion occasioned in consequence,
but the advantage appeared to be pretty equally ba-
lanced between .both parties. Henderson stumbled
in one round, and fell upon hitt face, which somewhat
damaged him, but he soon rallied, and forgot it. In
the-last round, as Parish was rushing in; in his usual.
style, he was met,-with much good play, by a flush
blow in his face from Henderson; he was dreadfully
queered and plumped down forward, this -was; the
only regular knock down blow given by either party.
His seconds got him on their knees, and; it is said,
he expressed some wish to come again to the Scratch,
but it wasn't in him. They could not rally .hitn,
and he did not come to time, and was of course
pronounced beaten.. We .may observe, with the
exception of the single blow.we have mentioued,
--Henderson did not receive. any injury, but Parish was
most dreadfully mauled. Ile was moreover.
both in head and- body, and
,was most severely cut
in the face by the ropes: The " knowing ones"
.• say they'have all along been of opinion that Parish
had no pretensions'to enter the. ring. with Hender-
son; they acknowledge that he was, and is, game
to the wry back bone; but of course, since the ter-
mination of the present fight, pride themselves in
the correctness of their previous opinion of his powers.

FIGHT BETWEEN ROGERS AND BAILEY FOR

TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS ASIDE.

A pugilistic contest between these two heroes of
fistic notoriety, took place at Newport, on Monday
last. Rogers, known in the ring as the Hereford
Chicken, had already distinguished himself, but the
odds were in favour of Bailey two to one. The men
fought 32 rounds with mutual advantage; but in
the last set-to Bailey gate Rogers a tremendous fall,
which rendered him deaf to time. The battle lasted
48 minutes. Bailey is a Bristol man, and was once
vaNquished by Cabbage.

FIGHT BETWEEN RICHARD HILL AND
JOHNSON, FOR £5O ASIDE.

This fight took place on Tuesday last, at Kettleby,
near Nlelton Mowbray. The amateurs of the Fancy
of Notting hatn audits vicinity, were much interested
in this event, in consequence of the former being
dubbed the Nottingham. Champion, and Johnson,
who is an Irishman, and shoemaker by trade, has
lately put up claims to belong to the London ring.
The men weighed about eleven stone and a half
each, and both appeared to be in high condition ;
but Hill appeared to be decidedly the strongest and
the hardest hitter of the two. Hill was seconded
by Maltby, and Johnson by Tom Gaynor; of the
London Prize Ring.
