SPARRING AT THE FIVES' COURT.

MARTIN, the Pugilist, had a bumping benefit yes-
terday. The Court was crowded with more re-
spectability than has been witnessed of late. The
setting-to gave universal satisfaction.
MARTIN AND BURN.—This MIS one of the best
sets•to witnessed in the Court for a length of time,
and was more interesting than is often afforded in
a whole afternoon's play. flits were exchanged
with the nicest precision. Burn's science is equal
to any man, but Martin bit with him ; and in one
instance he placed a fine flush left-handed hit upon
the middle..o Burn's head, followed with the right
at the body. Several counter-hits. were ex-
changed ; and if there were any advantages, it
was rather .on the side of Martin, who has just
returned from Brighton in the fittest condition.
SPRING AND 1-lARMER made a good set-to; and
Spring has profited much in his Brighton train-
ing with Martin. It "was rather light play than
hitting out, which suits Harmer best. —There
was good science displayed to the advantage of
Spring.
EALES AND SIIELTON.—This was alsO an ex-
' cellent bout ; but Eales's commanding science
•stopped Shelton's rush and hard strait hitting, and
in return tapped the claret. Shelton is also fresh
from Brighton.—The set-to was long and in-
teresting.
RANDAL AND HOLT made an excellent and sci-
entific set-to, but Holt, every-inch good, has not
enough of himself to stop Randal's pugilistic
pranks ; made, however, ao►ne judicious par-
ries, and placed some hits.—Randal is fresh and
strong, and trains well on the Hampstead hills.
TURNIZR and CRAWIHY set-to, and hit away.
manfully. There is too much length -in Crawley-; •
it bolts away with substance. lie had none the
worst of the match with Turner ; but he is better
with the gloves than in the ring.
SCROGGINS shelved suale mountebank attitudes
with O'Donnel, which excited much fun ; but
O'Donuel did not relish it half so much as the
company.

At the finish of the Sparring, Oliver mounted
the stage, and stated, that as be understood
Donnelly had come over to fight any one, he wns
willing to fight him for from fitly to two hundred
gninews.

RANDAL, Orator for the absent Donnelly, said,
that Donnelly would fight Oliver in
.six weeks;
so that no doubt the match Will be made..

MARTIN returned thanks to the amateurs, and
invited them to join him at milling the sirloins at
his friend Burn's.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT,—On Monday, as Mrs.
Hawkins, of No. 2, South-street, Lambeth, was
sitting by the parlour fire, a spark flew out of the
grate and set her clothes in a blaze ; she was
alone at the time, and rushed into the street,
screaming for assistance, enveloped in. flames ; the
neighbours immediately afforded ail the assistance
in their power by wrapping wet clothes round
her ; she was dreadfully burnt, and there is but
little hope entertained ()flier recovery.

DUBLIN THEATRI.

RIOT in Consequence of the DISMISSAL of MlistZ BYRNE.

[Further Particulars from a Dublin Paper)

. Miss.-131,11Na, a•ho has been for some time per-
forming at Crow-street Theatre, Dublin, having
been induced to assist at a Concert of Mr. PA.'
NORMA'S-, on a night when her services were not
required at the Theatre, the Patentee, Mr.JoNas,
took offence at the circumstance-, and caused an
intimation to be made to Miss Byrne that he con-
sidered her no longer a. member of his company.
The dismissal of so great a vocal favourite natu-
rally caused a good deal of sensation in the public
mind, and at the conclusion of the first piece, on
14th inst., there were frequent cries of " Miss
Byrne and an Opera," and repeated calls for the
Manager, which Mr. Montgomery instantly
obeyed ; he professed the utmost anxiety to give
every explanation in his power ; but as he would
not state that Miss Byroe was a member of the
Crow-street Company, every thing he said was
unavailing. The seats in the galleries were
.speedily torn up and flung into the pit, which was
cleared of its occupants in a moment. The velvet
covered hand-rails of several of the upper boxes
and lattices were also tort) off,,and thrown into
the pit and upon the stage. Whenever there was
arty appearance of a partial calm, the performers
came ou and endeavoured to go through their
parts, but they were--quickly assailed; -and com-
pelled to retire. Missiles of the most dangerous
description flew about ; a large sharp stone, we
are informed, was aimed at Mrs. Broad, who, in
all probability, would have lost her_life had it
struck her. . Mr. Montgomery, the Stage Mana-
ger, presented himself, desirous to know the plea-
sure of the house. A Gentleman from the stage
box—" We wish-,for an explanation respecting
the dismissal of Miss Byrne."—"- Miss Byrne
Miss Byrne!" rung from all. parts, of the house.
Mr. NIONTGOMERY.--7." L, :lies and. Geottinnen,
the differences between the Proprietors and Miss
Byrne are in a way of adjustment, and l have
every. hope that they will be.arnicaLly adjusted."
This was followed by a•burst of applause, and
Mr: Montgomery retired. Again dancing com-.
menced, hut again were the performe:s order ed off.

PLACA.RD.--" Miss Byrne's engagement is open
to her upon the terms of her agreement."
Sheriff WOOD then came forward." I came
here," said he, " for the, purpose of assisting in
keeping the peace. I have viewed, with asto-
nishment, the conduct of a Dublin audience in
destroying the property of an indiyidual, which
it was my duty, and the duty of every person
here, to protect.. I went into the gallery, and
collared a man in the-act of breaking the peace,
and destroying the property of the Proprietor of
this Theatre. um sorry to state that the au-
dience in that part of the house rescued him from
me.—(ln reply to this the plea of the police being
placed in :different parts of the house was held
out.)--I assure you there were no police in,. the
house at the time. 1 now request the orderly
part of the house will retire."

Previous to the address of the Sheriff, some
disapprobation was evident, in consequence of his
having his sword drawn. He irnmediattly threw
it down, and further stated his former request.

ADVENTURE OF A BANK-NOTE.—On the da" be-
fore Good Friday, a porter, in the tin-10y of
John Hanhory, Eq. of 8, Barnard's Inn, was sent
to pay a sum of money into his'hanker's, in Lom-
bard-street: O❑ going along the Old 'Clie age, he
missed the banker's book (in which was a Bank-
note
for 1501.) out of hiS pocket. The number of
the note being known, it was stooped at the-Bank
of England. On Friday last the 1501. note was paid
into the Bank from the Rumford Bank ,Where it had
been cashed ; and on inquiry at the latter place, it
was traced to a man named Jones, a common infor-
mer against bakers at the London Police Offices,
arid who resides.in Elim-street, Battle-bridge. It
appeared that Jones bought six pigs from a pig-
jobber at Romford, to whom he gave the note to
get changed. This man got the note changed at
the Rumford Bank, and instead of giving his own
name, he gave that of Jones, 4, Battle-bridge.—
These particulars being now given at. the Police
Office, Hatton-garden, Win. Read, sen. one of the
officers, was deputed by the Magistrates to make
the necessary inquiry. Ile learned that little Jones,
the informer, residing in Elim-street,Battle-bridge,
had suddenly become licit, purchased fine clothes
for himself, his wife and family, bought a horse and
chaise-cart, in which he frequently rode out for
pleasure with his wife ; that he also had become
a pig-jobber, and had plenty of money. This
clue was enough for Read ; he watched his op-
portunity, apprehended Janes,' and found 401. in
Bank-notes in his possession, which turned out to
he a part of what he received at the Romford Bank
in change for the one hundred and fifty pom,ds.
Read (after securing the horse•and cart and six
pigs) conveyed Jones, and a great quantity of
new clothes which he. had purchased, before the
Sitting Magistrates at Hatton-garden. The ac-
count that Jones gave of his possessing the note
was,: that he pickeday an old tobacco-box, con-
taitling the note, at, the end of Ne-sygate-.street.
No proof being adduced to the contrary, he re-
ceived a very severe lecture for converting it to
his own us,e before, he advertised it.. He was
then discharged on paying over the 401. in his
possession, with his horse, cart, and pigs, and en-
gaging to pay the iemainder at a guinea a mouth.
There was a reward of 201. advertised for the
finder of the note.

HIG II WAY ROBBERY.-Monday night, about
10 o'clock, as Mr. Thomas. Inglish, residing. in
Soho, was crossing Battersea-fields, on his.way
home from Peckham, where he had been to dinner
at a friend's house, he was met bye female, who
at first begged for charity, but who afterwards in-
vited hint home to her lodging, saying she was the
wife of an Officer in the Army, but in reduced
circumstances. He listened to her tale till they
came to the patb leading to Battersea- Badge,
when on a sudden two men, dressed.in the morn-
ing uniform of the GuErds, rushed from under-
neath the hedge, and one of them presented a
•listol to the breast of Mr. Inglish, threatening
instant death if he did not deliver up his money.
The female, was seized by another of them, who
carried her off some distance in his arms.—Mr. I.
was robbed of 5/. in notes, ovine iilver, and his
watch.
