MILLING IN SCOTLAND

BELWEEN SIMON BYRNE, TIIE IRISH CHAMPION, ANT)
ALEXANDER MACKAY, FOR, A PURSE OF Tii-EriTt-lIVE
rsuNns.-This fight took place on Thursday evening et
Dunoon Quay. Byrne was attended by Tom Reynolds and
Bruce ; Mackay, by Crosbie and Henderson. Betting
slightly in favour of Byrne. Both appeared gay, and con-
fident of victory. Only five rounds were fought, though
the contest lasted forty-seven minutes, when Byrne was de-
clared the victor.

BALDWIN AND JEM BURNS.—The second deposit for
the second fight between these men will be made good at the
Rising Sun, in Windmill-street, on Tuesday evening tiekt.
Bob assigns as a reason for chusing this night, instead of
Wednesday, on which day he takes a benefit, that he might
otherwise be charged with renewing the match merely for
the sake of his benefit—a feeling which he utterly dis-
claims. At his benefit, on Wednesday, Torn Belcher, Jem
Burns, Ward, and in all probability, Big Brown will set-to
on the occasion ; and we hope Bob will receive some con-
solation for his late defeat. Bub is getting quite well, and
promises t better issue to this match than on the last occasion.
YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND DAVIS, OF MANCHESTER.—
The second deposit for this affair, which is to take place on
the 19th of June, within sixty miles of London, on the
Manchester road, will be made good on Tuesday night next,
at Mr. Mallett's, the Magpie and Stump, Fetter-lane.

JONES (THE SAILOR BOY) AND JE3I RAINES.—The
second deposit of ten pounds a-side for this fight, was made
good on Thursday night, at Tom Cribb's. It is agreed
that this fight shall take place on Monday, the 4th of June,
instead of Tuesday, the 6th of June.
D. HUDSON AND LAR xi N..--The whole of the blunt for
this affair was posted on Tuesday evening, at the Half-
Moon Tap, in Leadenhall-market, The men will fight on
Tuesday next, within twenty miles from London, probably
among the sages of the East.

REUBEN MARTEN AND YOUNG GAS.-Young Gas
and Marten having met at Cribb's on Thursday evening,
the former wished to know if Marten was prepared to make
a match with him? Marten said his affair with Gybletts
was not yet settled, he had not got his money from the
stakeholder, and when he had, he would be ready to " join
Gybletts' with Gas, as soon as he liked.
GYBLETTS AND MARTEN.-Marten attended at Cribb's
on 'Wednesday evening, to renew his match with Gybletts,
according to the latter's proposal. The backers of Gyb-
letts, however, were not disposed to second his wishes,
and asserted he should not fight for their money. Mar-
ten then offered to fight him 1201. to 1001., but this would
not do—and, in short, he should not fight at all for the
money down. Cribb, the stakeholder, said he thought the
men should conclude the fight which they had commenced,
aad, for the present, declined giving up the stakes.—One
of the umpires in the fight, who was present, said he
thought if Gybletts would not fight again, Marten ought to
get ten pounds of the, stakes for the loss of the job.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

AFFLICTING AND DETERMINED SUICIDE.

On Saturday evening an inquisition was taken at the
sign of the Shipwrights' Arms, Bermondsey-street, on the
body of Mrs. Charlotte Barlow, who committed suicide
under peculiarly afflicting circumstances.
Mrs. Elizabeth Whiffen, of King's Head-yard, Tooley-
street, was sister to the deceased, who resided with her for
the last few weeks, and slept in another bed in the same
room. About half past two o'clock on Thursday morning
last, the witness was awoke by a heavy noise, and per-
ceived the deceased had fallen out of bed. She asked if
anything ailed her; the deceased answered ", Nothing is
the matter, my legs are cramped." She helped her into
bed, and in about half an hour afterwards, the deceased
faintly said, " Elizabeth, I am dying." Witness asked her,
why she thought so? She replied in a faint tone, " I have
taken poison." Witness became alarmed, and called for
assitance ; the deceased then said, to a female that came
into the room, that she had swallowed two-penny worth
of laudanum, and two pennyworth of arsenic, at two
o'clock. Medical assistance was procured, but ahe died in
five minutes after.

Co ao rac a. —What was the state of her mind previously?
Mrs. Whiffen —I saw her at eleven o'clock, before she
went to bed, and she appear .K 1 quite calm and composed,
but I know that she has been deranged for some tirne past,
in consequence of the cruel treatment of a rascal. [Here
the witness became much affected.]
The CORONER intimated to the witness that she had bet-
ter disclose all she knew, relative to tho state of the de-
ceased's mind.

Mrs. Whiffen rcrlied, that she did not wish to conceal
any thing ; but the circumstances, which she considered
had led to her sister's death, were so distressing and me-
lancholy, that she could not help being affected at the de-
tail of them. She stated, that the deceased was possessed
of some property, and was of the age of about thirty-five.
A few months since a genteel-looking man, of very accom-
plished address, was introduced to her, and subsequently
married her, and in a very short time dissipated all her mo-
ney, treating her with the greatest barbarity, and ultimately
deserted her, and went away, no one knew whither. It was
then ascertained that he bad another wife and family, at
Oldham, in Lancashire. Upon the deceased !earning this,
coupled with other misfortunes, she gave herself up to me-
lancholy and despair, and determined on committing suicide.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict, that the de-
ceased had committed suicide while in a state of mental de-
rangement.

ANECDOTE off THE NEW LORD CHAXCEL-
CELLoR.—The following anecdote, which we
have from good authority, may be considered in-
teresting at the present moment. Mr. Cople'y,
the painter, made great exertions to give his son
an education of the highest kind ; and it so hap-
pened, that while he was supporting him at the
University, he was unprovided for a small bill of
301. which he had given to Mr. —, an emi-
nent engraver, employed upon one of his works.
The letter which he wrote upon the occasion
was turned up casually the other day, within a ,
few hours of his sun's elevation to the Wool-
sack ! Its purport was to request a renewal of
the acceptance at a longer date ; because, said
the kind and anxious father (in substance) you
know that John's expellees at College are very
considerable, and drain me to the utmost. Yet
he has done himself so much honour in his
studies, has risen so high, and gives promise
of such future eminence, that it would be a sad
thing to suffer him to be impeded in his career
by any want just now. Could the prophetic
parent sec the full accomplishment of his hopes,
he would, perhaps now, as at the period of which
we speak, feel little compunction (though quite
at odds with the poor worlding's farthing prin-
Ciples) for having helped to make a Lord Chan-
cellor by dishonouring his bill ! Gazette.
