FIGHT BETWEEN YOUNG SAMBO

AND JORDAN FOR £lOO.

Yesterday the adjourned fight between these celebrated
bruisers came off. It may be remembered these pugilists
contended a short time since, which terminated in a drawn
battle ; the match was subsequently renewed. The weight
of the men was limited to 9st. 71b., and they went to scale at
Owen Swift's, on Monday. In betting sto 4 were freely laid
on Jordan ; his opponent having lost the sight of one eye
his chance of success was considered less certain. A special
train was engaged on the Brighton railway for the convey-
ance of the combatants and their friends, and Horley-
common was the locality selected for the contest; and
all parties having duly arrived, the necessary prelimi-
naries were arranged and a ring was formed. At this
time the spectators might be computed at 2,000. The men
stripped, and were brought into the ring—Sambo under the
protection of Jem Turner and Driscoll, and Jordan was se-
conded by Walker and Fuller. The pugilists shook hands,
and putting themselves into attitude, commenced war. Both
men appeared determined on mischief, and displayed great
courage and science, and one hour was occupied without any
visible change on either side. When 50 rounds had been
fought, the betting was in favour of Sambo. It may be here
observed that Jordan, having exceeded the stipulated weight,
he was compelled to tight without shoes, his opponent fighting
with spiked shoes, aid who availed himself of treading on
the feet of Jordan, and mutilating them exceedingly, and 51.
was offered by the friends of Jordan to be permitted to fight in
shoes, but was not accepted. They continued the contest
for two more hours; at this time eighty-seven rounds had
been fought, and it was now manifest that Sambo was in
the more favourable position as to victory. They kept up
the contest—both displaying great game ; Sambo conti-
nuing to thrust the spikes of his shoes into the feet of
his antagonist at every opportunity, notwithstanding
the unanimous groans of the spectators. Frequent appeals
were made to the umpires, but who decided it fair, and within
the rules of boxing. The fight was kept up for three hours
and forty-seven minutes, during which time 107 rounds were
contested, when Jordan, from the great punishment received
from Sambo, was compelled to yield in his favour, and the
sponge was thrown up, and Sambo came off the winner. The
science of both men was much admired, and the courage of
Jordan. was considered almost unprecedented.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.—Shakspeare's tragedy of
Othello was presented at this establishment on Saturday
evening for the purpose of affording Mr. Alfred Ormonde an
opportunity of displaying his tragic powers in the part of
Othello. His performance of this difficult character proved
exceedingly satisfactory, and at the fall of the curtain he was
summoned to receive the congratulations of a numerous and
highly respectable audience. " A distinguished amateur of
literary and colonial celebrity" enacted the part of lago, and
was extremely well received. Miss Davenport proved a very
interesting Desdemona, and Waldron acted Cassio well.
OC ER'S ARRIVAL AT NE WG ATE.—lmmediately
on the conclusion of the examination of Rocker before the
magistrate he was removed to one of the cells in the rear of
the Court. Shortly before two o'clock the prison van ar-
rived, to which the prisoner was conducted, being guarded
by a strong body of police. The van then proceeded direct to
Newgate, -a here it arrived a few minutes after two o'clock,
and in a minute or so a number of people collected around the
prison door, for the purpose of seeing the prisoners come out,
not knowing that Thomas Rocker was among them,
One of the constables in charge of the van having delivered
in the warrant, returned to the van and brought out Thomas
Hocken He exhibited great buoyancy of spirits, and leaped
out of the van as if going to a merry-making instead of being
about entering a prison. He was laid hold of by each arm
by two police-constables, and handed up the steps into the
prison. On getting inside, the warrants of committal by the
magistrate and the coroner were placed in the hands of the
governor, and the name, age, and description of the pri-
soner, together with the nature of the crime with which he
was charged, having been entered in the journal kept for
that purpose, he was removed to a cell on the north side of
the prison appropriated to untried prisoners. Here he was'
searched, and was placed under the surveillance of one of the
turnkeys. He exhibited the same indifference as he has
hitherto done, entering freely into conversation, and offering
his snuff-box to those willing to take snuff. He expressed a
wish to be supplied with pens, ink, and paper, which was
granted. The early hour at which the prisoner arrived at
Newgate deprived many of catching a glimpse at him, who,
between five and six o'clock (the usual time the van arrives
at Newgate) thronged the vicinity of the prison.
POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—The following notice was
issued yesterday (Tuesday) by command of the Postmaster-
General :—" The Postmaster-General having concluded an
agreement with the Government of the United States for the
conveyance through its territory of the correspondence of
Great Britain and Canada, the mails to and from Canada will
in future be landed and embarked at Boston, instead of at
Halifax, as at present, and will be conveyed between Boston
and Montreal, in charge of a British officer appointed by the
Postmaster-General. All letters and newspapers, therefore,
addressed to Canada, will be forwarded, from this date, by
way of Boston, unless specially directed to be sent by some
other route. No additional postage will be charged upon
letters to and frrom Canada, in consequence of the transit
ref e which is to be paid to the United States Post-office ; but
a charge of one halfpenny will be levied on the delivery of
each newspaper, whether in the United Kingdom or in
Canada.—March, 1845."
EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION NEAR KINGSTON,
SURREY.—One of the most extensive conflagrations that has
occurred for a considerable period near Kingston, took place
on Monday night, on Tolworth-common, Surrey, and which
resulted in the destruction of from 20 to 30 acres of furze,
the property of Messrs.. Baker and Fuller. Some idea of the
extent of the conflagration may be formed when it is stated
that it was distinctly visible from Wandsworth, several miles
distant, the inhabitants of which quickly dispatched intelli-
gence of the outbreak to London thinking that the calamity
had happened near their own village. As soon as the news
reached town, Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the brigade,
started for the ecene with an engine and four post-horses, and
was followed by Mr. Connorton, with the West of England
engine. Upon reaching Wimbledon-common, however, they
were met by a mounted police-constable, who explained to
them the nature of the fire, and that they could render no
assistance if they proceeded any further. They, in conse-
quence, turned back. For many hours the fire continued to
throw its glare over the surrounding country. Fortunately,
a road had bees cut in two sides in which direction the wind ,
blew, or the fire might have reached the contiguous planta-
tions. The origin of the outbreak is unknown.
THE HOM&EOPATIIIC SYSTEM.—Yesterday, an in-
quest was held before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Blue Room,
Tavistock-street, Bedford-square, on the body of Henry
Cordwell, a solicitor, whose death was alleged to have been
caused by treatment under the homoeopathic system of me-
dicine. Mr. Wakley, on commencing the inquiry, asked who
made the post-mortem examination ? Dr. Hancock, who
was present, said that he had examined the thorax and ab-
domen. Mr. Wakley said that it was not usual to make an
examination without an order from the coroner. He had
understood that many medical gentlemen of eminence had
been present at the examination, and he was very much sur-
prised to find, when he saw the body, that the head had not
been examined. In a case like the present, where the death
was alleged to have been caused by improper practice, it was
necessary that every 'part of the body should be strictly
examined. Could Dr. Hancock state the cause of
death ? Dr. Hancock said that there was hemorr-
hage from the bowels of the deceased. Mr. Wak-
ley—Of course you could not ascertain the
extent of the hemorrhage, whether it *as 4oz. er 41bs.? Dr.
Hancock—Certainly not. Mr. Wakley said he should ad-
journ the inquiry until an examination of the head had been
made, and the cause of death ascertained. He understood

that a medical gentleman, named Curie, had at first treated
the deceased under the homoepathic system, and that after-
wards Drs. Roots and Headland had been called in. Dr.
Curie asked if he might be present at the examination ?
Some reports had been circulated against him, and he was
anxious to hay the inquiry followed up to the fullest extent.
Mr. Wakley inquired whether Dr. Curie was a member of
any medical institution in England ? Dr. Curie said he was

not, but that he was educated in France, and had received his

diploma there. The diploma was produced. Mr. Wakley
said that he was not therefore a legal practitioner. An Eng-
lishman under the same circumstances would not be allowed
to practise in Paris. However Dr. Curie could be present at
the postmortem examination if he chose. The inquest was
then adjourned until Friday next.
THE CHURCH-YARD AND THE SMOKE NUISANCES.
—Mr. Anderton is, very much to the satisfaction of the
citizens in the crowded parts of London, about to propose
to- morrow, in the Court of Common Council, that peti-
tions be presented to both Houses of Parliament to pass
an Act to regulate the interment of the dead in churches
and church yards in large towns and cities, and prevent
the violation of graves ; also to pass an Act to prevent
nuisances arising from the smoke of steam-engines and
furnaces in manufactories and buildings situate in and
near the cities of London and Westminster, and steam-
boats on the river Thames.—Cordial unanimity is
expected.
