Sir Gore Ouseley, Bart., expired at his seat, Hall
Barn Park, cn Monday last. The late Right Hon. Sir
Gore Ouseley, P.C., G.C.H., was the second son of
Ralph Ouseley, Esq., by his first wife, the daughter of
Henry Holland, Esq., of Limerick. He was born in
1770, and was consequently in the seventy-fifth year of
his age. In 1806 he married the daughter of John
Whitelock, Esq., and, in 1806, was created a Baronet.
The late Sir Gore Ouseley was a Knight of the Russian
Order of Alexander, and the Persian Order of the Lion
and the Sun. In 1810 he proceeded to Persia as Am-
bassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary,
and subsequently went to St. Petersburgh. He is suc-
ceeded in his title and estates by his son. Frederick Ar-
thur Gore, the present Baronet, who was born in 1825.
PRIZE FIGHT BETWEEN BROWN, OF NEWCASTLE,
AND REED, OF GATESHEAD.—Considerable excitement
prevailed on Monday amongst the patrons of the ring,
that being the day appointed for the match to come off
between the above professors of the fistic art. The
men were in excellent condition, for when placed in the
scales on Saturday, Reed was found to be one pound,
and Brown ono ounce under weight. It was decided that
the lists should be on a common, near to the Highland
Laddie public-house, about eleven miles from Newcastle,
on the Chevy Chase Edinburgh-road. The scene of
action was thronged with pedestrians and carriages, and
among the company, betting was going on very swim-
mingly, the odds being 6 to 4 upon Brown. The match
was for 201. a-side. The pugilists, who seemed in high
spirits, entered the ring, and having peeled, set to work,
at a quarter past eleven, and continued with much ani-
mation till sixteen minutes to twelve, the contest occu-
pying just twenty-nine minutes. In that time thirteen
rounds were fought. In the first round Brown used his
mawler scientifically, and pitched into Reed with tre-
mendous force on his knowledge-box. In the subsequent
rounds, Reed gradually got the advantage, and ulti-
mately succeeded in flooring his opponent, and winning
the brass, which was handed over to the lucky victor the
same night at Parrett's, Rose Inn, Pudding-chase. A
great deal of money changed hands upon the occasion.

PRIZE FIGHT FOR TWENTY POUNDS.—On Tues-
day the pugilistic contest between Jones (alias Butcher)
and Lawlor (of Paddington) came off at Greenhithe, in
the presence of a vast assemblage of the " milling
schools." The men were of light weight, and profi-
cients in the science of boxing. In betting Jones was
the favourite at 6to 4. The parties having arrived at
the selected locality, a ring was formed, and the comba-
tants entered an appearance, attended by their seconds,
Caunt (the English champion) and Jem Turnar acting
as umpires. The contest was opened with determina-
tion. Both men displayed courage, and fought with
caution. At the third round Lawlor " drew the claret"
of his antagonist, after fifteen minutes had been occupied
in contending for victory. They continued the contest
for twenty-eight minutes, when Jones hit his opponent
below the belt (which, according to the rules of pu-
gilism, is unfair), but Lawlor having continued the
round, the referee decided that Lawlor had waived his
claim, and Jones was the winner. Lawlor refusing to
continue the contest when time was called, some angry
altercation took place, and the parties left the ground in
no very friendly terms. A good deal of money depended
on the result.
THE BRIDGEWATER TRUST.—The trustees of this
great canal property, created by the late Duke of Bridge-
water, and now possessed by Lord Francis Egerton, are
about to seek for powers to combine certain short lines of
railway with the/Bridgewater Canal, which will greatly
facilitate its working. With this view they are render-
ing all the assistance in their power to the plan for con-
structing a railway from Manchester to Altringham,
in
Cheshire, close to which place the canal passes ; and are
also about to apply for powers to construct a railway
from Preston Brook to Runcorn, with the view of facili-
tating their communication with Birmingham and the
central counties. They also expect to be able to con-
nect the large collieries on the Worsley estate with the
Liverpool and Manchester Railway, by means of a branch
line from the village of Worsley to join the line which
the Liverpool and Manchester Company propose to form
from Patricroft to the Bolton and Bury line, which
passes within a couple of miles of Worsely, and traverses
the Bridgewater estates for a considerable distance.—

AMERICAN CANDLES.—The late importation of
American candles by the New York packet ship Eng-
land, at Liverpool, said to be a novelty at that port, is
not so at the port of London. For a considerable tune
past the London and New York line of packet-ships
have been in the habit of bringing large quantities of
American composition candles, which, on being landed,
are immediately placed in bond for exportation. A
merchant has informed us that several ships which lately
sailed from the docks for India, China, and other ports,
were supplied with this description of candles, and that
the importers, after paying freight, &c., realised a profit
of about 2d. per lb.
APPALLING DISCOVERY.—On Tuesday, as a young
lad named Henry Bacon was strolling through an unfre-
quented part of Hainhault Forest, near Loughton, in
Essex, he was horror-struck at discovering the body of
a man lying on the ground with a rope, which was much
decayed, round the neck. He instantly gave an alarm,
when it was discovered that the body was a mere
skeleton, all the flesh having been devoured or decayed
away. Another piece of rope, corresponding with that
around the neck of the skeleton, was seen suspended
from a tree above the body, leading to the conclusion
that the deceased had hung himself. The body was
removed to the King's Oak, Highbeach, where it awaits
an inquest. The remains are supposed to be those of an
excavator engaged on the railroads who was observed to
be in a desponding state, and who was missed from High-
beach about six months since.
The valuable and extensive estate of Whitehall, Ber-
wickshire, the property of Sir John Hall, Bart., of Dun-
glass, was sold last week to J. Mitchell Innes, Esq., who
is about to commence great improvements on the Man-
sion-house and extensive domain.—Scotch paper
