fancy. Crisp w.'s seconded by his brother, ..and George
Hooper officiated for Edwards.
Five rounds were fought in an hour and -a half; it was all
slaughtering milling. The first round lasted 2i minutes I
both men Were hit to pieces, to use the slang diction. At the
close Crisp was thrown, and the ring resembled a crimson hue
in the reel Waterloo style.
In the second round bath were piping at a distance. Crisp
made play, and flattened the ••bridge of his adversary's nat.;
the drover shook his heath Ad went very sulky to work; • like
the first round, the give and take was the time of day. After
a manly bout., Crisp was floored by a tie-mp in the

against each other, and fell as helpless as babes.

GENERALS QUIROGA AND RIEGO.-General
QUIROGA, has printed a letter, addressed to Gen.
RIEGO, in which, after saying. that he accepts
with pleasure the protestations of friendship
.which the latter had made in his
.apology, he de.:
dares, that there never existed any difference
between them. Upon the dissOlution of the army
of the. Isle of Leon, General QuinonA ag,reed
with, RIEGo in conceiving. it to be au ill-timed
measure; but he could not oppose it in his qua-
lity of a- Deputy of. the, Cortes, inasmuch as it
was not Ivithin the limits of the functions of that
body, but within those of the Executive Power:
He finishes with expreSsing a-wish t,o cIaspRIEGO
in his arms. From this letter it further appears,
that the Revolutionists had appointed QUIROGA
General-in-Chief of the Liberating. Army, as
far back as the month of November, 1819 ; but
that, having been arrested in consequence of sus-
picions entertained of him by the Government, he
had in the first instance experienced considerable
difficulty in escaping from prison, and was after-
wards delayed by the bad state of the Toads ; so
that RUG° had the honour of striking the
.firiit.
blow.

CAPTAIN MOLT'S MATCll.—Captain Hovr's
match to go on foot 300 miles in five days, and to
touch on ten counties, was won on Saturday
night, by the arrival of the Captain at Hammer-
smith. ffe had 44 miles to do on the fifth
day, from Dorchester, Oxon, and he did it in 12
hours, and, upon the whole, was not much s fa-
tigued. The Match ranks among the first pedes-
trian feats. _ _ _

The superb service of china presented -lately
to his Serene Highness. Prince ESTERHAZY, by
the Emperor of AUSTRIA, is not of Dresden, but
Vienna manufacture ; and was ordered at the,
Imperial manufactory to that city expressly for
the purpose.
BREAKING OUT OF PRISON.—A few 'evenings
back five of the convicts, who were confined in thz New House
Of Correction at Brixton, effected their -escape in a very dar-
ing manner. The prison is not yet wholly finished. and
this circumstance inspiring score of the boldest thieves
with a hope of being able to break out by sonic. means or
other, five of them leagued together for this purpose. They
kept their design-a secret from their fellow prisoners, and
the better to disguise their iotentions, seemed very attentive
to their employment, and reserved towards each other.—
The absence of the workmen was determined ools the signal,
and as. soon as they went away, some of the prisoners seized on
the builder's ladder, by means of which hey 'scaled the wall,
;Intl got away. It is supposed that they crossed 'the fields, and
entered-town by a circuitous route; hot their absence,- and
triode of escape being quickly discovered,. emissaries Were dis-
patched after them in all directions; two out of the five were
shortly afterwards recapturell,,and to their great chwrio,
lodged again in their old quarters. On Sunday last privatein-
format ion was received, that another of the delinquents named
Haswell, who was cast for death at'the last Assizes, was con-
cealed at a public house in Blue Anchor lane; BermolidsvY
thither the officers went, and found him as described, dis-
guised in a count' yrnan's smock frock. This man being the
most desperate of the whole, a violent resistance was antici-.
paced ; but the moment he saw the officers, he told them that
he was completely dispirited, and although it took five con-
stables to apprehend hini, last time, yet thahhe would co now
quietly. He seas on Monday .cooveyed. before L. B. ALLEN.
Esq. at Union Hall, by whom he was committed to his old.
station. The others have at present evaded all search. There
'tires not appear to be any blame 'attached; f.o the .Keeper of
the Prisot, who-is a very careful and, active man.
