THE FANCY.

Tom Sralso's COUNTATMEN.-Tom Spring has at his
disposal a countryman, who can be backed against any
twelve stone man in the ring for 2001. Ile has another
also who can be backed against any 11 stone man in the
ring for a first-rate stake.
FRANK REDMOND'S NAMELESS AND DUDLEY DOWNS.
—On Thursday evening, at Harry Holt's, a meeting took
place to make good the second deposit in this match. Five
pounds a-side had been previously placed in the hands of
Tom Spring. A good deal of interest was manifested on
the occasion in speculating on who the nameless man
should turn out. Some di.puting arose about the money
matters, and forfeit was declared in favour of Dudley
Downs. He then declared himself ready to fight any
man i❑ England of his own weight. Jack Tisdale was
present.
BIG BROWN OE BRIDGENORTH.—The big hero has ar-
rived in town to sojourn for a few days at the Castle Ta-
vern. He is desirous to fight again any of the big weights
for 2001. as soon as his arm recovers—he says he would
prefer, however, to commence with another shy at Phil
Sampson. Last week Phil said lie expected the offer, and
was ready for it.

NED SAVAGE AND PETER SITEENEY.—On Wednesday
evening, at the Hole in-the-Wall, Gate-street, the seeond
deposit in this match was made good, milting altogether
151. a side.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Bob the Briton is matched against Ned Savage, for five
pounds aside, to run one mile. The match is to come off
next Thursday, starting from the four-mile stone on the
Edgeware-road.

SPIRIT of the PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

(FROM THE BERKSHIRE CHRONICLE OF TIII3 DAY.)

PARLIAMENT.—If Ireland continue tranquil during the
autumnal months, it is not at all likely that the Legisla-
ture will meet before February next. A letter from a cor-
respondent of our's in Dublin, received yesterday, sage,--'
" Strange as it may appear to you in England, the Sedi-
tionists and Agitators of the Catholic Association, publicly
boast that the Marquis of Anglesey is devoted to their
build up

recent circumstance, combined with ethers, of the Lord
Lieutenant having discharged a policeman, because he
wore an orange and green sprig in his cap. Rely upon it,
there is more mischief brewing than people are aware of."
We shall offer no observations on our intelligent friend's
remarks : we hope they may prove to have been unneces-
sary, but we fear the contrary. Of one fact we ate quite
satisfied, and we state it on authority which has never de-
ceived us :—An endeavour will be made next Session of
Parliament to calm the Catholics of Ireland—it will be a
Cabinet measure—and a plan to accomplish the task is
actually under the consideration of Ministers. We may
as well add, that we hare not the slightest expectation
that it will be successful, so long as O'Connell, and the
Shiells and Ogremen, are permitted to spout treason at
the Dublin Corn Exchange.
(FROM THE CARLOW MORNING POST OF THWRSDAY.)
COMMERCIAL FAILURES.—We understand, from sure
authority, that several mercantile failures—in which some
of the oldest commercial houses and others of later standing
in Dublin are concerned—have simultaneously occurred in
that city. We have a full belief in the statement, but to
what cause to attribute it is not yet within oar knowledge.
FROM THE TITTERARY FARE PRESS OP WEDNESDAY.)
MeNsme.—One of the Resolutions lately adopted
at the late Provincial Meeting, and which was received
with the acclamations of those who sanctioned it with their
approval, was one highly complimentary to the Tipperary
Free Press. It would, we think, be a species of most
unworthy and discreditable feeling upon our part, if we
lie,itated in expressing how highly grateful such a com-
pliment is to us. These are the rewards which the pro-
prietors and conductors of this paper look for, and which
they would not exchange for all the jobs a Jury could
manage for them, or all the pensions that a corrupt Go-
vernment could confer on them. Such a compliment can
but excite them to persevere in the course which has
already earned for them the approbation of the most
talented and patriotic of their countrymen.
(FROM. THE DUELIN SCORNING REGISTER OF THURSDAY.)
Our readers recollect the statement in the Mail relative
to the " exorcism" performed on Mr. G. R. Dawson's
market, by Father L'Estrange, that Rev. Gentleman being
at the time on the Continent. This statement appeared
lately even in the Morning Chronicle, as a grave and au-
thentic narrative of facts, and it is, of course, now taking
the round of all the provincial papers in England. But
is it true that until lately Mr. Dawson's stalls in Ormond-
market were unlet and unoccupied ? 'We are assured that
it is not, and farther, that it could not, he true ! " Could
not be true," the reader will exclaim, " after the
stories about exorcism !" Yes, we repeat, " could not
be true," and for this very sufficient reason, that he
had no stall, or any tenement whatever in the aforesaid
market, or any other in Dublin I So much for the libels
of the vile Press that related to the stalls in Ormond-
market.
