FIGHT BETWEEN COZINS, THE BIG BOY, AND
TED SWEENEY, THE BARLEY BOY, FOR 501.
This fight took place yesterday, at No-man's Land.
There was a muster to see this little matter in the old fa-
shion between Ted Sweeney, the Barley Boy, and Cozins,
tl-e Big Boy, for 251. a-side.

Cozins has won all his battles—lie defeated the Cheshire
Hero, Deaf Bourke, and Ted Sweeney, on a former occa-
sion, for a purse, at last Epsom races. Ted defeated Ned
Savage, of starling nest celebrity, and did it cleverly, the
former battle between Sweeney and Cozins has always
been surrounded with doubts amounting to suspicion.—
Both men were out of the needful at the time, and the
purse was not immense. It was a battle of fortune; that
of yesterday was got up for fame. So much has been
said of late, however, on these matters, that, as usual,
" mixing up" was talked of.

A battle, not bloodless, but net bold, took place, in
which Cozina pleased his friends; he took the lead, and
kept it—administered first knock down—extracted first
blood, and finally won the battle in something less than an
hour and a quarter. Sweeney's friends thought less of
their Ted than usual, he trashed it, and did not fight.—
Cozins' left hand was considerably puffed, but otherwise
he was little punished. Ted's hands kept good, but he
napped some punishment, and had the shutter on one of
his eyes. The consequent aspect at the two rendezvous
was very different ; the Duke of Wirtemberg, Hatfield-
street, was filled with long faces ; the Hole-in-the-Wall,
Chancery-lane, was crammed with merry ones.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—As Mr. CROOK 2
of Bristol, was whipping his horse, while driving out in
a gig on Friday, about an inch of the whip-cord entered
his left eye with such force as to detach itself from ti e
whip, pass through the cornea, and penetrate as far as the
pristerior of the globe of the eye, where it fixed itself so
firmly as to require the use of very great force for its ex-
traction. The fore part of the eye was literally torn to
pieces, and its contents fell out into the b.)ttom of the gig.
In this state Mr. CROOK had the resolution to drive him-
self back to Bristol, a distance of eight or nine miles. We
understand that, by the judicious treatment of Mr. KEL.
SON, no further bad consequences than the loss of the eye
are at present expected.—Exeter Alfred.
A nail-maker living in the commune of Sou•
magne (Liege), appeared to be the object of hatred of one
of his brothers, much younger than himself. The elder
one, named H. J. THOUMSIN, was occupied a few days
ago at his forge, when his brother, armed with a pointed
iron rod, which was red hot and ready to be made into
nails, made his appearance suddenly, and thrust it into his
body near the heart—it pierced through a very thick lea-
therm apron and a strong linen shirt. A surgeon who
visited him stated the wound to be six inches deep ; not-
withstanding this, he was not dead when the intelligence
was forwarded to us. The culprit was arrested and de.
livered up to justice.—,French Paper.
ENLARGEMENT OF NEWSPAPERS.--It
seems that seventy years ago a Paper was printed in Mas-
sachusets, U.S. It was on a small sheet, and the Pub-
lisher gave as a reason for enlarging it, that he had got
" thirteen months behind with foreign news, and by this
means alone he should be enabled to square up,"
