FIGHT between WILCOCKSON and RANDALL for
1001. A SIDE, at MELTON MOWBRAY.

The fight between Wilcoekson and Randall, two men
of Nottinghamshire, for 1001. a side, which has excited
the utmost attention of the fancy of Nottingham, and the
adjoining counties of Leicestershire and Yorkshire, came
off yesterday at Nether Broughton, between eight and nine
miles from Melton Mowbray, on the Nottingham road.

An immense concourse of spectators assembled, amongst
whom we noticed Sir Harry Goodrich, Captain Garth,
lord Forrester, and most of the gentlemen of the chase
from Melton. The combatants,:who had been training at
Langley Mill, Notts, under:the superintendance of the phe-
nomenon of the Ring, Young Gas, cod Morgan, .11,11
Hudson's Black, arrived on 31onday right at the std
Lien Ind, Broughton, both in good spirits, and eager for
the fray. The circumstance of their arrival having got
wind—not by means of the Court Circular, but common
report, speedily reached the cars of the webs of the village,
the Parson and the Magistrate to wit, and busy rumour
said that preparations wcie in agits.ion to prevent the fight
taking pace in that neighbourhood.
Twelve o'clock was the time appointed : the pugilists,
attended by their seconds, and followed by an immense
number of persons (chiefly mounted), from various parts
of the country, proceeded to the lordship of Old 11,14,
where the stakes bad been previously fixed, on a most eli-
gible spot of ground chosen by the umpires ; but on
reaching there, the parson of the parish and • a prise

of constables had taken possession of the ring, and
pisitively refueeel te allow the fight to proceed...,
Flu whole cavalcade was therefore sent to the right
.e.honte . consultetione ef the men's supporters then
ensued, :nud it. was .ifelerniitiod to repair to the Lord-
ship of Ze ether Brought4m, where a good-natured, kind-
hearted fernier offered the nate of his field, but he did mit
t;irget te exact tid. frt in each linesman and drageman
before they entered, and succeeded by this manoeuvre in
pocketing upwards of 201.
Gas and Morgan the Black entered the chilling arena
with their men, about one o'clock; it was a good piece of
ground, but covered with snow, and some time was occu-
pied in clearing it away. Some of the friends of Wil-
cockson objected to the Black as his second, having seen
hint and Gas in familiar conversation ; and, fearing that
some conspiracy was in agitation, resolves! that Wilcock-
son should be seconded by his own friends, although there
were not the least grounds for the suspicion.
At twenty minutes past one o'clock the men commenced
peeling, they appeared in very good condition. Wilcock-
son is the tallest by a head, and more muscular than Ran-
dall. this weight is 12 stone, and that of his antagnniet,
Randall, 9 stone I I pounds. They had fueght two years
ago, when, in consequence of an accident happening to
Wilcockson, the battle was drawn. Wilcockson is an ex-
ceedingly this looking man, and 3 to 1 were readily offered
in his favour. Randall is a well forreed athletic dapper
chap, and not much unlike Dick Curtis, though
scarcely so tall.

The fight -commented and continued in favour of Wil-
coekson for 40 rounds, Randall continually hitting and
falling from the force of his antagonist's weight ; the bet-
ting was 20 to 1 on Wileoekson, when about the 30th
round Randall's luck and the odds changed. He turicefioored
Wilcockson, who appeered to he getting gradually weaker.
The fighting began to be very desperate on both sides, and
Randall was dreadfully punished about the head. It was
apparent that Wilcockson was too mach fur him. In the
97th round Wilcockson planted a heavy hit upon Randall's
chest, which floored him ; Wilrockson was following up
his blow, and struck Randall when down. A cry 'of " un-
fair !" took place, and the ring was immediately broken.
A warm discussion ensued between the parties, as to whe-
ther the blow was really foul, and the Referee eventually-
confirmed it by giving it in favour of:Ptandall. The battle
lasted three hours, being the longest since Spring and
Langan's fight. Both men combatted on the whole very
fairly, and displayed science that would not have disgraced
the first man in the Pr;ae Ring, and there is no doubt that
the foul blow was given unintentionally. The rounds were
so numerous that we could not find space to give them in
rotation.

The match between Young Gas and Hardy of Ripley,
for 1001. a side, which was to have taken place this week,
is off, Hardy having paid forfeit.

MR. STEPHENSON.—We are perfectly aware
of the intense anxiety that prevails in this city at the pre-
sent moment respecting this individual. Although we are
in possession of a great deal of information, we forbear, at
the request of a competent authority, to communicate it to
the public, lest we should interfere with the course of jus-
tice. We may mention so much, that Bull, the pilot, has
returned home with his skiff. --Bristol Mercury.
MR. ROWLAND STEPHENSON.—On the
third day after the disappearance of Stephenson, the con-
duct of two persons, who had very recently hired lodgings
in Henry-street, Pentonville, excited suspicion. One of
them, who appeared to he the principal, confined himself
wholly to his apartments, and was occupied for a consi-
derable part of the day burning papers in the drawing-
room. His landlady remonstrated with him upon the
abuse of her best apartment, and said that if he had more
papers to burn, he might do so in the kitchen. This
circumstance, and others of a suspicious nature, were
talked of in the neighbourhood, and it was conjectnred that
the paper-destroying gentleman, and the other, who passed
as his servant, might be Stephenson and his clerk. They
seem to have taken the alarm, as they suddenly quitted the
lodgings ; and the following day the house was visited by
Police Officers, who made particular inquiries after them.
It was not known who they were, however, and they
have not since been heard of in that neighbourhood.

TIVF.LFTII NIGHT.—An object of great at-
traction in New Bond-street, on Tuesday evening, was a
representation of the Mountainous Pass of Aneyio, where
many Greek families perished by cold and hunger, when
driven from the plain by the Turks ; the Greek warriors
are in the act of defending the position to the last. At the
summit of the rock appears a monastery, with the Priests at
prayer near the fountah, which has a beautiful effect.—
There is a terrific grandeur about the whole scene. This
ingenious specimen of the arts in pastry was the production
of Mr. Jarrin, the Italian confectioner.

The. death of a woman who was an example
of a very rare longevity, took place in the commune of
Chaucelade, on the 27th December. This woman, named
Frances Descours, was on the eve of attaining her 111 th
year. Her body was nothing more than a dried-up skele-
ton, but she had not lost, even to her very last day, either
her perfect senses or her good spirits. It is to be remarked,
that she had had a fall within the last six months, by which
her thigh was broken. She was not bedridden until this
:,erind, and it is affirmed that her death is to be attributed to
this accident.—Bulletin de 14 Dordogne.
It has been remarked that the parties of. his
Majesty are principally composed of Whip. Thus, for
instance, at the Royal entertainment, on the last day of
the year, were the Dukes of Devonshire and Dorset, Lord
and Lady Cowper, Lord Melhonrn, Mr. Agar Ellis, and
Lady Virginia Ellis, Mr. Frederick Lamb, Lord and Lady
Granville, &c. It will thus appear that his Majesty is not
without the tact serviceable to Royalty. His Majesty, no
doubt, dislikes the fatigue of snaking Cabinets ; but he likes
to have adherents in both camps.

The clergy, gentry, yeomanry, and others, re-
siding at BriAgewatec, have signed a public declaration of
their sentiments, in opposition to the claims of the Roman
Catholics.—Bath Chronicle.

PROTESTANT MEETINGS.--The largest
Protestant ?Jetting ever held in Ireland will be that of
,the
county of Fermanagh this day at Enniskillen. Cavan is
summoned ; and we should hope that before Parliament
meets every Northern County will bave assembled in sup-
'ort of our glorious Protestant Constitution.—Dublin

In conformity to a late order from the Post-
Master-General, the two-penny post has been discon-
tinued to all towns and villages below Langford and
Wrington, and, consequently, Batmen and Weston-super-
Mare are put under the general delivery, and taxed ac-
cordingly, to the no small inconvenience of the inhabi-
tants of the neighbourhood.—Bath Chronicle.

We are glad to say that the year has closed
without any such suffering to the working,classes as might
have been expected from the late large failures. The hands
discharged by the insolvent concerns have generally con-
tinned to find employment from other warehouses, with-
out submitting to any great reduction in wages. A good
deal of indifferent work has, no doubt, been taken out,
which, in brisker times, would have been refused ; but
after failures to the extent of about a fifth part of the capi-
tal employed in manufacturing, it must appear a favourable
indication of the state of the trade, that severe distress has
not been induced.-- Glasgow Chronicle.

DREADFUL SUICIDE.—Last night, about 10
o'clock, a young man of genteel appearance, whose name
we understand is Macdonald, put an end to his existence
by throwing himself from Waterlon-bridze into the Thames;
he was accompanied by a respectably dressed female to his
fatal destination ; a few minutes before he left his residence
he wrote half--a-dozen letters to his relatives in Scotland,
where he was a native. When on the bridge he told the
female he should not live long, she, of course, little think-
ing of his fatal intent, laughed at the saying, and took no
further notice of it ; they bad not proceeded scarcely a
dozen steps, when he took off his coat and hat, and leaped
over the btttlement ; the shrieks of the female brought
several persons to the spot, but the rapidity of the stream
plunged him instantly into eternity; drags were procured,
but to no use, the female wa► conveyed to her residence
insensible ; her feeling, may he easier felt than described.
It appears he was a young roan of steady habits, and has
been emplcyed by Mr. Leist,: ritch-manufacturer of Regents
street, for the list five years
