CORN LAWS.

Mr. FAVZLI. drew the attention of the Court to the
requisition presented to the Lord Mayor on this subject ; it
was too late in the Session to petition Parliament on the
subject, but he hoped the great city of London would
prepare themselves to meet this great and national question
early next Session.

THE FANCY AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

The crib of Tom Crib, i❑ Panton-street, Haymarket,
was last night overflowing, by persons who were anxious
to ascertain whether the match between Brown, of Bridg-
north, and Jem Ward, for the Championship, would be
made. Brown and his friends were present, and the
former stated that he was ready with "the needful," to the
amount of 3001. to make a match to fight upon a stage,
padded and turfed, if Ward thought proper. Ilis reason
for preferring a stage, he said, was the apprehension that
an ordinary ring might be broken in, and a fair decision of
the fight prevented. On the part of Ward, no person was
in attendance; but it was broadly insinuated that be could
not he backed at all. It was then suggested, that if Brown
dictated the mode in which the fight was to take place, an
advantage might be taken by his opponent., and a feeling
might /o abroad that he, in truth, had no inclination to
fight, except in a particular way. in answer to this it was
urged, that the majority of the fights for the Championship
had taken place upon a stage, and that Brown was per-
fectly justified in choosing that mode of bringing to issue a
question, important, not only in a pecuniary point of view,
but still more important with respect to reputation. A
long discussion followed, bet it ended in smoke, as no
person " showed," upon the part of Ward, to state dis-
tinctly what his views really were.
Brown will take his benefit this day, at the Tennis Court,
Windmill-street, in the Haymarket, when a strong muster
of the Fancy is expected, and something will, in all proba-
bility, be done. It is clear that Brown is ready to fight
for 3001. with any man in England ; and, if no man ac-
cepts this challenge, he will fairly lay claim to the charae •
ter of Champion, without a blow. A stormy meeting is
anticipated.
The Fancy, in the evening, are to be gratified with a
grand Rat match, at the Westminster Pit, when Billy will
perform his celebrated feat of killing 100 rats in seven
minutes.

Young Dutch Sam and Davis are expected to show al
the Tennis Court this day ; the former has arrived in town,

PIGEON SHOOTING.

The enclosure at the Red-house, Battersea, was yester-
day numerously attended to witness the fifth and last day's
shooting, for 2,000 sovs. between Mr. Osbaldestone and
Lord Kennedy, two of the hest shots in the kingdom.—
The shooting was at 100 birds each, 21 yards from the
trap. The ground was attended by all the swell amateurs,
and the day's shooting was the best we have ever witnessed.
The first bout at 50 birds was as follows :—Lord Kennedy
killed 44, Mr. Osbaldestone, 42 ; the second bout, Lord
Kennedy killed 39, Mr. Osbaldestone, 44.—Total, Lord
Kennedy, 83, and Mr. Osbaldestone, 86. In the seven-
teenth shot Lord Kennedy was five a-head, but Mr. Os-
baldestone has won the match finally in the five days' shoot-
ing by 19 birds.

The calling cut of the Militia for the preset
year, is suspended.—Briphton Gazette.

INSPRUCK, JUNE 7—The month of May pro-
(laced the most beautiful vegetation, and every thing was
much more tbrward than in other years. The commence-
ment of June has been very different. After many rainy
days, the consequence of thunder storms in the mountains,
we find ourselves this morning as if in the middle of winter.
It is snowing violently, and pretty deep snow covers the
mountains, and even lies in the plains. Many of the finest
trees have lost their tops, which have been crushed by the
weight of the snow.--Frankfort Papers, June 13.

STATE OV TEA DL—Among the symptoms
of reviving trade and commerce which we have lately had
the pleasure of noticing, we understand that the numerous
calendere in town are at present particularly busy. some
of them are not able to accomplish their orders without
working night and day. A great quantity of soft goods,
muslins, seeded and flowered robes of different kinds, hare
lately been prepared and sent to the East Indies. Large
quanties of pullicate handkerchiefs have also been sent to
the same quarter.__ Dumfries Courier.

STATE ol? TRADE.—Of late our notices on
this subject have been uniformly favourable, and it is no
email gratification to us to be able to continue our occa-
sional reports in the same strain. Every branch of trade
and commerce here wears at present the aspect of improve-
inent--not of that rapid and overficnnishing sort which we
have sometimes seen—hut of that steady kind which he-
progressive demand and increased consumption as
The wages of the operative, too, arc gradually
"g se.
improving a
vuing ; and if there be no scarcity, there is certainly
no superabundance of hands. In short, we do think
that the stream of a steady and productive trade has
once more begun to flow upon our land, and if it
does not again ravage the banks by its impetuosity,
it will not soon leave its channel quite dry—in other
words, we do hope that in future we shall be strangers
alike to the speculation of 1825, and to the depression of
1826. The existing circumstances of Glasgow certainly
bear us out fully in this view of matters, and it is a no
less gratifying feature of the times, to observe that every
where else the periodical reports are of a similar corn-
plexioa. Whether from the commercial, the manufac-
turing, or the agricultural districts, all are alike favourable;
and on the subject of trade, the newspaper press is, if
possible, still less divided then it has latterly been on the
subject el politics,—Scots Times.

ANECDOTE or Mn. BURKE.—Sir Philip
Francis once waited upon Mr. Burke, by appointment, to
read over to him some papers respecting Mr. Hastings's
delinquencies. He called on Mr. Burke, in his way to the
house of a friend, with whom he was engaged to dine.—
He found him in his garden, holding a grasshopper.
_" What a beautiful animal is this !" said Mr. Burke ;
" observe its structure—,its legs, its wings, its eyes."...._
" How can you," said Sir Philip, "lose your time in ad-
miring such an animal, when you have so many objects ,of
moment to attend to ?"—" Yet Socrates," said Mr. B.
" according to the exhibition of him in Aristophanes, at-
tended to a touch less animal ; he actually measured the
proportion which its size bore to the space it passed over
in its skip. I think the skip of a grasshopper does not
exceed its length; let us see."—"My dear fri.:,td," said
Sir Philip, " I am in a great hurry ; let us walk in, and
let me read my papers to you." Into the house they walk-
ed ; Sir Philip began to read, and Mr. Burke appeared to
listen. At length, Sir Philip having misplaced a paper,
a pause ensued. " I think," said Mr. Burke, " that na-
turalists are now agreed, that losusta, not cicada, is the
Latin word for grasshopper. What your opinion, Sir
Philip ?"----" My, opinion," answered Sir Philip, packing
up his papers, and preparing to move off, "is, that till the
grasshopper is out of your head, it will he idle to talk to
you of the concerns of India."—Mr. Butler's Reminis-
cences.

BUONAPARTE'S WILL.—The will of Buopa-
parte gives rise, at present, to rather a singular contest.
A legacy of 100,000 f was left to the son of General
in the army of the Pyrenees,
and who was killed,
Dugonunier, under whom, it is well known, that Napoleon
served his early campaigns,
in 1793, at the battle of St. Sebastian.
It apears that General Dugo mmier only left one legiti-
mate son, who died without issue. His widow contends
that, in default of other posterity, she alone has a right
to the benefit of the legacy. Generals Bertrand and
Montholon opposed this claim, by urging the incompetence
of French Tribunals to determine on the difficulties raised
Will made at St. Helena, and deposited
in England ;
and it seemed that the mere question of
jurisdiction was to
with respect to a
be agitated, when M. Adonis Dugom-
mier, an officer of a regiment of the line, appeared, who
contends that, in his character of sole surviving son of
General Dugommier, he alone ought to receive the legacy.
The widow replied that lie was a natural son, the issue of
the General and a young Creole, at Guadaloupe, who, if
we are to believe the widow's statement, was a woman of
colour and a slave. The cause was called on before the
Tribunal of the First Instance ; but, at the request of M.
Dugommier's Advocate, deferred for a fortnight... Journal
des Debuts.
