The amateurs of the milling art were dividkj.
yesterday, as'iwo battles were fought in different directionA,
but before we describe either of them we must give a sketch of
a brave combat which took place for 20 &hie* at eight o'ClOck
On Monday evening, on: the Green over Waterlco-bridgez be-
tween --,.,Rtiabottom, .a respectable tradesman, .and a Miller,
from Lambeth, in consequence of a dispute about a deg.:This
was made to be as much private as ptiasihle, arid thi*.even-
in g was selected forit, but the ring was crtiwded... Crciie rand
Warwick seconded Roebattom, and the Miller was picked up
by two of his companions.
It was a slaughtering fight and with equal advantages the first
quarter of an hour. Iri the 7th round; RoebOttorn,w4nt. in
with much gaiety and floored hiS adversary by a right handed
hit. wirich-groggifi ed himand gave: Roebottorn the best 'Of* for
several rounds. In the 12th round, which - was a very manly
one at equal fighting, the Miller floored his adversary.,.but.he
had the worst of it afterwards, and in the 16th round, when the
Miller, to use a technical phrase, was dead beat, Rocbottoin was
thrOwn and broke his leg, which alone could haVe-. ,'ttiF
Miller the battle. • •

SECOND BATTLE. •
A slashing battle was fought yesterday, to the nprthw.,aiti of
the Regent's Park, between Jas. Brown, a 10-stone rnanii,and a
carpenter, of the name of Jones. This was a slice t,f araie-
meat for 121. between two rare good men, but Jones lisalnore
than a stone of weight over his adversary. Shelton and samp-
ecni seconded Brown, and. Jones was seconded by two of his
brother chips; and, to throw a light npon'the miii Gzia-Was
the umpire. •
RoyNn 1. This was severely contested with •long•lounging
hits, which told.nn the sides of each head'; it ended in Jones
being thrown heavily. . - •
2. Both eager to .go in, they made severe play for four
minutes, when Jones's nose was tidily laid open, and the claret
flew like- ginger beer from a bottle. Ile' went down with the
hit.. The krht continued' a slashing'one,. to the idvantage of
Brown, Until the 12th, when Jones was hit downs, and he had
no chance afterwards; but his seconds kept hhn, ,:pp to the
scratch as long as he could st.'nd. In the 15th round'iirowit
was declared the victor.

THIRD FIGHT. •
This fight was considered the principal one of. the day; al.
though not so good as the second one. It was between Young
Brown, of a choice stock, and Horsham, who was Vbs. the
heaviest.. It took place on Mitcham Common, for 20 kuineas.
Joshua Hudson and Harry dolt seconded Brown, and Eales
and H. Bailey picked up Horsham-5 to 4 'on Bro'wn..
The battle lasted thirty-five minutes, but brown neveirgave
his adversary a chance after the third round. .The firstrpund
was a busy one, with equal advantage's: both' went .down:cfter
exchanging hits, and the next two were contested in the Sitme
manner. In the fourth reund Brown had allelic:- teat of it, and
drew blood; Horsham never led after. The:F.: was not a
ficorer in the fight; which took place in a 24 feet . - -
The Norwich Bull was next arrayed for combat,' and shewed
sortie severe play.amongst the dogs, until th,:.ze wo nyne ;eft
to' face him.

The GALLAN'T Scroggins, who has fought sixteen battles,
and put-many brave fellows on one side, by his bravery in the
ring, has a benefit at the Fives Couit, St. Martin's-street, Lei-
cester-quare, this day, when the whole corps of pugilists' -411
exhibit, and Scroggins has a caterer who will: so arrangi the
sets-to as to give satisfaction. Jack says he is nearly iloored, and
as he has always been ready for a Mill, he tr...-..?ts the amateurs
will not be backward in their patrcnage.

[NEWTIMES.
-----

It is with pain that we feet . ourselveS com-
pelled to notice the blood thirsty spiri inced by
part of the English Press, on occasion of the late
Rebellions' on the Continent. The King of Na-
ples having been, in point Of fact, deposed by a
band of traitors, sought the assistance' of his Al-
lies to replace him on hisAhrone. At the special
request of this Sovereign, ' and (as is now evi-
dent) with the approbation of the great body of
his people, an Austrian army, disclaiming every
hostile sentiment, advanced toward the Neapo-
litan frontier, to assist in re-:establishing order in
rhe kingdom. At this period, a wretch, whose
brntality can surprise no one, wrote as follows :
---‘6 If the recent news be true,- the Austrian
battalions will meet with their deserts : that is
to say, their blood, and flesh, and bones,
will remain to fatten the lands, and to fer-
• the vineyards, whiCh' they are sent
to ravage." "'That not a man -of them may
escape,. not 'even a.single mart to tell the /ale, must
be the sincere' prayer of every good man in the
world-the man that does not wish for their total
destruction 'must have a heart composed of stuff
that can feel tenderness towards the devil him-
self,antl towards"nothing but what is wicked and
cruel." "If the soldier§ of the Austrian be in-
sensible to the dictates .of human stature, they
are in fact brutes, and as brutes they ought to be
considered and treated.": 44 Therefore, spare
none, ()Sight to be the motto of the Neapolitans,
let not'a man escape." In the bloodiest period
Of the French Revolution, the infamous Robes-
pierre-we know caused aiaw to-be enacted, that
no quarter should be given to the English troops.
This horrible Decree the French soldiers refused
to ekecute, but it remains on record as a perpetual
mark, devoting the monster's name to the execra-
tion of ages.. That a single miscreant should be
fOund in England, avowing the detestable senti-
menti-of Robespierre, is sufficiently disgraceful
to our country ; but it is right that -the yet unvi-
flared: part of our population should know, that
that miscreant is Cobhett.

[THE TIMES]
We never recollect a Committee, upon .which
apparently so -much hang, excite so little in-
terest, or afford so little. hope, as that which is
now Sitting upon the agricultural distresses of the
'country. Their labours are viewed by-the rest
of their fellow-subjects• in the same manner as a
consultation of physicians upon an incurable case
would-be contemplated by the family of. a dying
man—as A.- matter of form, meant 'to satisfy 'or
silence, without being useful ;, for, while the
Committee has been consulting,.Ministers have
been very actively getting their estimates through
the-House of Commons atthe old standard, and
thus destroying to the country the only source
from whence relief could be drawn. It is to be
regretted that the Committee did not. recommend
a supply for the current wants of the State till
its Report could be made, and thus would it
have retained in its own hands those. means
of • alleviating the public burdens which' are
now taken' away.. But the fundholder is
charged with being the great consumer of the
national wealth. Undoubtedly, whether. in the
case of a'natiOn or of an individual, the interest
upon a debt contracted is a diminution of:the re-
sources of the debtor ; but he should- have
thought -of that when he took up the' loan. To
abuse.the 'creditor now; for having trusted the
Country heretofore,' somewhat resembles the
morals of old Cobbett, the skeleton-dealer, who
threatened to-drive Sir Francis Burdett to suicide
for lending him mcmey,except that the Honourable
Baronet: :probably 'expected no interest- on his-
debt; whereas it was- upon the assurance' of 'a
stipulated interest that the fundholder ad=
Vaneed.- his capital. •But still, for 'those who
athocated: every loan, to begin now -and- abuse
the. lender,: is. ingratitude as well: as injustice.
Such men say, however,•that thepublic creditor
receives more than his due, the'value of money
being new'. greatly enhanced from various causes,
but chiefly from the projected attempt of the
Bank' to renew its cash payments.: A. moment's
consideration, will-spew the injustice of this re-
mark.' '. The greater part of the national debt was
(as was unanswerably shown by a Correspondent
its this'Journal with the. signature of 4' Durhain")
Contracted before 1800 that is, before the first
year-of the depreciation' of the currency::; for it
was only in 1800 that"the value of-the Bank-note
began to-sink from: that year, therefore., it was
that:GOverninent first began the iniquity' of pay-
in ba -in a thipreciated currency that creditor who had
rnadeshiS advances in money of full value': and
flroverninerit so Coritinue:d to pay the creditor in
a depreciated currency the -interest upon more
than half the-national debt advanced at par, for
upwards 'Of eighteen years.: Certainly .the rest
of :the debt was advanced by several -portions,
and at different times, in depreciated-specie; but
it is 'only for three years at the most that Govern-
mentlas- paid Me interest.upon this-and the rest
of the public debt, in money approaching to its
full value." It is'clear; therefore,' that. the Ad-
'vantages 'resulting from the 'depreciation of the
currency are infinitely on theside of Government. ,
