• The fight between 'Tamer and Cyrus Doris Wok place yestr-
day, at Harpenden Common, four miles beyond St. Alban's ;
and. notwithstanding the roughness ni the weather. a numerous
company assembled." At "one o'clock Cy. Davis threw ip his
eager, followed by Richmond -and Harmer, as his seconds ;
Turnery close at his heels (arm-in-arm With the President of the
Daffy Club), followed his example, attended by Tom Cribb and
Josh. Hudson.-5 to 4on Davis. Cy. smiling, went up and
shook hands with bled. Qi the tb2ce being given the men prafed,
and the colours, blue for Turner, and yellow for Dwis, were
tied to the stakes by Cribb and Richmond.— It was for 1001.
Boutin I.—The condition of Cy. was beautiful; he was the
picture of a man in fine health. Turner, although not coming
up to anything like the above, wis, nevertheless, well lunched
tip, as to the look., but without possessing the reality of Leaven-
Sion. Both extremely cautious; and the gels- difficulty of get-
ting at Ned prevented Cy. from Making play. Turner at length
let fly, and put in a slight hit on the body with hi left hand.
More dodging. • Turner stopped his opponent's right hand well;
both extremely active nu their to make a hit, witty' 'ruiner
put in another 'body hiow ; some trifling exchanges. Cy. t4ed"
td• min Ida favourite right hand blow, but was again starptir—
exchange of blows at thiropes—a struggle Mr the throw—both
down, but Cy. undermost, This round occupied dx minute's;
Turner's frkl:ds shouting, and crying " all right."
Q. The right hold of Cy. told, and after a few exclringts Ned
went down.--A shout for Davis, frunf the Blidolians and the
Ne svg we-market lad..

3. Davis piping a little, and Turner kept hitting at the body.
Some exchar.g.a took place, when owing to the slippery state of
the greund, Turner W:lit down from-a slight htt.
4. This was a'good round. Cy. smikd with confidence, and
made himself up to do execution with his right hand, but he was
stopped with considerable skill. No mischief u yet, and in a
struggle both went down.
5. Ttirner's friends urged he had none thi worst of it ; in fact,
no great punishment bad passed on tither side. In closing Ned
had the best of the fibbing, and Cy. showed the first blood.—
Davis got the throw, Turner undermost.

6. Davis's left hand seemed of no use to him, except, a la-Gas,
to hold his opponent.. Some good fighting, and to the advantage
of Cy. who fell heavily on Turner.
7. The great forte of Davis lay in his right hand, and if it had
not been stopped so often. the fight would soon have been ended.
Turner bad the best of fibbing, and--Cy. was undermost.
8. Some severe execution clone. 'T'urner's left hand dtew blood
from Cy.'s nose and mouth, and for a moment he appeared a
little abroad ; but be recovered, and sent Ned down witk a tre-
mendous right-hander.—" It's all over," from the elating tribe--
is You have won it, Davis !"
9. This took a little fight out of Turner, and he came up
bleeding and weak to the scratch. Davis now went to work
a little. Turner returned hit fur bit, till he fell exhausted.
10. The patch-oar* began to peep, and the effects of masa- !
tore age could not be hid. Turners friends began to fret, and
he went down with a body blow.
11; 12, and 13. The truth could no longer be hid—Turner
! was going every round—he fought like a man—but the stamina
was wanting. Randall saw it—heaved a sigh ! and sorrowfully
exclaimed, " I am afraid it is all over !"
14. Cy. made slow with his right hand at the heti, but It
fell rather low. " Come," says Josh. "fight fair; recollect you
are to hit above the waistband." A good round, but Turner
down and exhausted. Ten to two.
IS. Cy. threw Turner, and fell on him so heavily, that the
shouting were—" he cannot come again." Any odds. • •
16. fhej:nishing was only wanted, and Tom liclehee observed,
" Why nor use both your hands.?" to Davis. Cy. took the hint,
but Turner opposed him gamely till down.
17. Poor Ned, good to the. last, exchanged hit for hit, till,
quite exhausted, he was hit down.

18. On coming to the scratch, Cy. met him in the body, end
he went down in a twinkling. The President of the Dallies
(under whose direction Turner was brought into the ring) hu-
manely stepped forward, and said, " he should not fight any
more." He (the President) would not stand by and see one of
the-bravest men of the ring punished, when he had no chance.—
'lt was over In 35 minutes. Davis shook bands with Turner,
gave a jump, huzzaed for joy, andleft the ring.
Ramaaas.—Without any detraction to Davis, his conquest
over Turner goes but fur little. It was but the shadow of that
Ned Turner who defeated the terror of the ring, Scroggins,
twice; who also fought with Randall for two hoots and 22 mi-
notes ; and obtained a victory over the Master of the Rolle, that
Cy. licked. It was nevertheless a brave good fight on both sides ;
but Cy. rowans in his person the finest requisites for a fighting
man, superior to any at present on the list ; and it is in a more
equal combat, or against a man like himself, that his future fame
depends. Mr. Jackson not being present there was no subseriu-
tion fur Turner, but it is hoped it will be made up to him neat
Thursday. Davis was not much hurt.
SECOND FIGHT.

This was a severe battle, between Deaf Denis and English, a
featherbed maker, for Xi 0 a-side. Davis was s:conded by Josh.
Iludscn anal Scroggins ; English by Ward and Rogers. ft was
rut and come agnim for 12 minutes, occupying eight rounds. In
the first three, English had not a shadow of chance, and was
beaten all over the ring; when a turn took place, and Davis
rapt so harshly, that he could not again come to the scratch.—
Davis, like 'Turner, is too stale fur a young opponent.

The Court opened at ten &cloth this thornitigi
and immediately pfbceeded td business.'
Mr. Anait said, that is he hid g cdttstillmics6l
to make to the Commissioners that interested
Portsmouth personally, he hoped they Wools' give
him an opportunity of so doing. It was of such a
nature, that he had strong reasons for not wishidg
the subject of his Communication to be made public,
and yet that the Gentlemen br the Jury should be
madd acquainted therewith. Under these circum-
stances, he trusted the Commissioners Would afford
hint such an opportunity as *.could fully answer the
purpose of the present application; It would be re-
collected, that the Commissioners had kindly pro•
mised to give Serjeant Pell due notice Of the intro:
duction of Lord Portsmouth to the Centlernen bf the
Jury, and as it was not until eleven o'clock last night
that, through the couttesy cf the Common Serjeant
(Mr. Denman) his Lordship's Counsel were made ac-
quainted with the intended examination of his Lot&
ship this day, it was then too late last night for the
Learned -Serjeant to Wait oh the Noble• Earl, and thii
morning it was scarcely possible for that object tb bard
been accomplished before ten o'clock, the hour for
the resumption of the inquiry ; he therefore entreated
that, in justice to his Lordship, he might not be called
upon this day, but that the Commissioners would be
pleased now to fix the time of his Lordship's appear-
ance, that the Learned Serjeant might have the de-
sired and promised opportunity of apprising bit
Lordship of the near approach of the period fixed
upon for his examination.
Mr. WETHARELL, in reply, tontended that it brat
not absolutely necessary that, the unfortunate Noble-
man who was the subject of the present investigation
s!iould be apprised of his approaching exammationi
He submitted that the Commissioners had a right to
call upon those in whose custody the Noble Earl was
to produce his Lordship at any period of the investi-
gation they might think advisable. He further con-
tended, that it would be most prejudicial to the jus-
tice of the present inquiry, to say in almost as many
wt,rds to his Lordship—!. You are to be examined to-
day (or at any other given time): I therefore come to
advise you to prepare for examination;" for as it was
notorious that tne most confirmed lunatic had Gm•
sional gleams of' reason or of cunning, a notice of
such a nature might possibly militate most mate-
rially against the impartial proceedings of the pre.
sent Commission.
Serjeant llto.Loca thought the Learned Counsel
(Mr. Adam) strained an observation of his Learned
rriend and coadjutor (Mr. Trowel.) to an unfair
extent; it neves could have been intended or antici-
pated that his Lordship's mind was to be thrown into
a continued 'state of irritation by a communication of
the nature of that contemplated.
TheCttrce COAtsit3stoßatt (Mr. Trower) coincided
with his Learned Ft iend, and observed that it would
be most impolitic, and approaching to cruelty, to give
the Noble Earl an intimation that would agitate and
disturb his mind for the whole day, and the suttee&
ing night immediately preceding the appointed time
of his examination—(Cries of." Hear, hear I" fromt
the Gentlemen of the Jury.)
Sir T. BARINQ thought that the Noble Earl would
find two hours' notice amply sufficient.
Mr. Cocoons, on being asked by the Commissioners
at what hour Lord Portsmouth usually rose? an-
swered generally at eleven' or half-past eleven o'clock;
he further stated that his Lordship anticipated being
called upon, and thought the longer the notice the
greater would be the embarrassment of his Lordship.
Mr. WALPOLE thought that,whatever period might
be fixed upon for 'his Lordship's introduction, the
Jury would not feel perfectly satisfied without seve-
ral repeated opportunities of judging of the state of
his Lordship's mind.
Serjeant iluu.oea thought tint, if two o'clock this
day was fixed upon, the Noble Earl would have suffi-
cient intimation, and Serjeant Pelt would have ample
opportunity of pet sonally making that intimation to
his Lordship: the Learned Commissioner differed is
Soto from Mr. Adam, and thought that if the inves-
tigation was to be recommenced, he and those who
acted with him, would act widely different.from the
manner in which they had unintentionally given rise
to the present discussion.
It was then understood that an immediate com-
munication was to be made to Serjeant Pell, that hit
Lordship's attendance would be required at two.
Sailleiland examined by Mr. Poweu.—First
saw Lord Portsmouth in August last; had not seen
his Lordship since the 10th inst. had frequent inter-
views and convey sations with his Lordship in that in-
terval r spoke to witness of hit journey to, dinburgh;
said that he was taken there against his will; that
Lady Portsmouth being with child, told him she
woulil swear it was his; finding him in a very ill
humour one day, witness talked td him of bleeding ;
felt his pulse t restored him to a better tone of hu-
mour; he said he would at aura= 'rather give up
her Ladyship than his lancets; that Newton Hanson
had once tied up his .arm in the presence of Lady
Portsmouth and Laura Hanson; said he ,had been
very ill treated by a person named Alder, who was
introduced to him as ,'medical man; Alderwas ac•
customed to visit her Laxly when
