SPARItiNG.
0/irer'3 Benefit at the Fives' Court yesterday was nume-
rously attended. The tickets were on this occasio❑ five shil-
lings, instead of three; and as every pugilist of note robin-
erred Ibis services, there was a display of amusement highly
gratifying to the lovers of the boxing art. Among the best
were the following :
James Lennox and Mason opened the sports in a brisk en-
counter, and excited much merriment.

Randal and Boit spewed science, perhaps superior to any
two which could have been put together. It was at first
nearly equal, hut Randal had weight upon his antaonist,
and he spoilt Hoit'Sj/ourishes. Prow the want of good'o- con.
dition, Holt had the worst of the last rounds, although he
made some exquisite parries, and it was the best set-to of the
day.

Deaf Davis and Abbot.—This was a bnsy turn; but Davis,
who is a good piece of composition, rattled away, and queered
Ins beads. Both ru tlianed it, until Abbot was hit upon the
ti;,se, when he put the glove up and looked after Wood.—
Davis had all the best or it.

Lielcher and Painter next showed off, but there was no exe-
cution done to speak of. Painter hit heavy, hut he was slow
in operation—a disparagement which a heavy man labours
under against superior science and quietness.
o'Donnel and West Country Dick made a good rudianing
match. and tolerably equal, but Dick's right hand is not very
docile at any thing near his weight.
Seroggins and Hodson were next paired, and although
..Seroggins was lull of antics ho plaYed away unmercifully
about his adversary's nub.
Oliver and Swing finished the sports in a good scientific
match to the advantage of (hirer, who returned thanks, ex-
pressive rather in feeling than words, fur he could not find
many, like many other great characters.

A detachment of the 50th Regiment arrived at
Harwich on Saturday su'imight, and proceeded on
Monday morning on their march to Chesterfield.
.Ihe fir, ddivisi.An ot the same Regiment marched
,into Stanford, on Thursday, on their route to
Bawlty. :This Regiment came from India last
summer, where it Lad been stationed for upwards
ot 20 years.
We unGerstand that Captain HAWKINS, of the
Evertborpe, ot Hull. while at the Davis's Straits
fishery, being engaged with a boat's crew in at-
tempting to kill a bear in the water, the enraged
animal made a snatch at Captain 'and seized
him by the thigh, dragged him out of the boat,
and immediately made off with his expected prey;
but one ot the crew throwing a mallet with all
his strength, it fortunately bit the bear, and
caused him to let go his hold of Captain H. Wifivn
the boat's crew succeeded in recovering on bdaid,
alter the imminent danger of being worried to
death, knocked on the bead, or drowned, all in
the compass of a few minutes. Captain H. was
recovering fast from his wounds, though still
lame, when last spoken with.
A witness at the Gloucester Assizes being asked
by the Counsel what made hint recollect so well
the period at which a circumstance occurred ?
with a sheepish look, and some hesitation, re-
plied, '' I was then, Sir, a happy man "—" A
happy man," re-echoed the Barrister : '' Yes,"
added the witness, " I was then newly married !''
Turning out appears to be all the rage this sea-
son. It began with the Students at Gottingen,
has since seized spinners and weavers at Man-
chester, and haS now crossed to Ireland, where,
it is to be hoped, the evil, sprite tn.ty at last get
safely embogged

ATTkiMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBEHY.--Last night,
about half past 10 o'clock, Mr. 11 ENR.y BROOKS,
of the Strand, with two Ladies, returning to town
in a gig, were stopped by a highwayman on
horseback, near the end of Chalk-farm•lane, in
the Hampstead-road. The fellow with one hand
seized the horse's head, and with the other pie-
ented a pistol with horrid imprecations. Mr. B.
boldly urged forwarol his horse, and cut at the
highwayman with determined resolution ; suc-
ceeded in disengaging himself at a time when
three men, armed with blodgeons, wet e advancing
from the hedge to ass;St their compiinion the"
fellows followed up their object untii the appear.-
ance of a coach induced them to relihquish their
put suit.

tinued its investigation till a late hour. They
