BOXING.

The renewal of the match between Fort Maw, the miner, and
George Hub, took place yesterday morning, in an open nng at
Malsby, in the forest of Bagshot, towards Guildford, for the
original stake of fifty guineas. The last battle, two months since,
was declared a draw, as both men were hit to a stand-still, and
often went down from distress without a bit. The fight we are
about to record was not one of scientific stilts, which they were
strangers to, but it was manhood pourtrayed, during the 22 mi-
nutes it lasted. It tcok place early, to prevent confusion, as the
parties, the men and their backers, were anxious to know the
best man, rather than rabble applause. The same seconds offi-
ciated as on the former occasion, and a pliant fight of eight
rounds followed, in which every inch of ground was stub-
bornly maintained.
Rousts I. The combatants could scarcely make up their minds
to shake hands, from eagerness to begin matting. They twice
got their arms entangled without the design of mischief being
realised, and they separated as if by command. At the next
meeting bolt was bit down upon one knee by a blow on the
chest, but he recovered himself, and a slaughtering round of give
and take followed, which lasted seven minutes, when Fordham
was dropped by a hard round hit upon the temple, and both
were streaming in claret.
2. The combatants turned-to again, and exchanged several
awkward round blows upon the head, and in the rally Hole
was hit down. _ _ _

5. The fast fighting of the men wa% stopped for a while—
roaring, and not piping, was the order of both, and in meeting
Fordham was thrown.

4. Second wind, replenished efforts, and a merry round was
fought. It was manfully contested, and Holt brought hts ad-
versary's head down by a body hit, which set him abroad, and
be was knocked down and had the worst of the round.—Two
to one on Holt.

5,6, and 7, were gallant rounds at the scratch. In the fifth,
Holt kept his superintity, and al.h -nigh he cirlape id his adver-
sary's head in form, yet he had the worst of the Inter part of it,
and was thrown a heavy suatmersct. In th, other two rounds
Fordham took the lead, Holt's right hand having become dis-
abled, and be was grasxd in the sizth and thrown in the
seventh round.
8. Holt made a gallant stand, and fought under disadvantages
very bravely, but he wanted some of his namesake's knowledge.
He was hit down senseless by a blow under the ear, and a street
full of watchmen could not have drummed tame into his ear.—
Furdbam, although the winner, was much beaten.

Last week, some young ladies who b. d been taking a walk,
were accosted by a gipsey woman, who, fur a small reward,
very politely offered to shew them their future husbands' faces
in a pool of water that stood near. Such an offer was too to Id
to be refused, and, on paying the stipulated sum, the Ladies
hastened to the water—each in anxious expectation of getting a
glance of the " beloved;' but lo! instead of beholding the
" form and face" they so fondly anticipated, they were sur-
prised to see only their own rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes glanc-
ing (tom below. " Sure you ate mistaken, won an," exclaimed
one of them, " for we see nothing but our own faces in tl e
water." " Very true, :nem," replied the sagacious fortune-
teller, " but these will be your husbands' faces when you are
married."--(Dunifries Cirsoicr.)

THEATRICALS

DlteitT•LAWlL—Last night a petit Comedy, in one
act, called Lone in Thimble Life, was produced at this
Teatre. The incidents arise out of the constancy of
a young landlady to the object of her early affections,
even after the liberality of a rival suitor has raised
her to comparative affluence, from the humble situ-
ation of a bar-maid. These three characters do every
thing that is to be done in the Piece, and they were
sustained with great ability. Mr. Cooran personated
the- rival, and presented himself as a gallant sol-
dier just returned from the field of battle, when his
dying Colonel left him the wealth of which he made
so generous a use. The Piece concludes with the
union of the fair landlady to Carla:, the swain who
had made the first impression on her heart, the son
of Mars having, with chivalrous sentiment, released
her from the conditional promise she had made him.
Some of the situations afforded Mr. KNIGHT a good
opportunity of displaying to advantage the truly ori-
ginal powers with which he is gifted; and Miss BOOTH
made the most of all that came within the little sphere
of her exertion. The House was well attended, and
the Piece throughout received with applause.
• COVENT•GARDEN.--qt new Musical Play, founded
on the well-known tale of the Legend of Montrose,
was produced at this Theatre last night. There are
some finely-drawn characters woven into the frame
of this narrative. Dugald Dalgetty is a masterly
portrait of the Flemish School—Ranald of the Mist
is surrounded with all those fierce and vindictive at-
tributes which are known to have distinguished the
northern clansmen in former times; nor can any de-
scription convey more accurate idea of the extra-
ordinary power which the superstitious notions of
second sight exercised over the Highland people,
than the character of Allan Macaulay. Shadows
come and pass over his soul, as clouds roll over the
moon, and they have the same effect oftdarkening
its natural aspect. The very name of Annot Lyle in-
dicated her to be a sweet vision of the poet's Imagi-
nation. She springs up like a wild rose amid her
own misty mountains, and sheds a gentle, influence
on all around her. The character of Montrose is
partially, and rather feebly touched, but his presence
rouses a thousand noble recollections of the romantic
devotion which animated the bosoms *of true cava-
liers.--Miss STEPHENS has every requisite for Aunot
Lyle. That charming old Scotch air, 0 we're a' nod-
din, was sung by her with a simplicity infinitely
more fa-cinating than the best bravura she ever exe-
cuted. It was encored, as was another fine old melody,
Charlie is my darling. Some other favourite Scotch
airs were introduced without any change of words,
and they w ere beard with the liveliest satisfac-
tion—so undeca) ing is the worth of true melody.—..
LISTON has found another oddity to suit him in
Dirgald Dalgetty. Mr. Cos non, as die Earl of 3lon-
trosc ; Mr. ABBOTT, as Allah ; DuausEr, as Menteith;
YATI.s. as Ranald; and TAYLOR. as Donald, contri-
buted their best efforts to the success cf the piece.—
lk s.FnuctThad too litt:e to do in the part of Erorcht,

In the last scene but one a general combat is intro-
duced between the " Sons of the Mist" and the Par-
y troops. Not only infantry, but mounted
cavalry, engage on both tides; and, to those who
never beheld the iron front of war, the action that
ensued might have furnished no mean resemblance
of the confusion and heat of a battle field. The play
will, no doubt, be popular to the end of the season.
THE ADELPitt.—Tom and Jerry continue to reign
with sovereign sway at this Theatre. The House is
not sufficiently large to accommodate one-half of the
company that nightly repair to it from every quarter
of the town.

Gnu SAVE TILE KlNG.—it IS a very remarkable car
cumstance, that the Composer of the universally-act
mired music of God save the King should have so long
remained a matter of doubt, which is now completely
set at rest in a publication issued by Mr. Clark, of
the King's Chapel Royal. He has noticed very can-
didly all that has hitherto been said er published
upon it, assigning very satisfactory reasons why they
arc all wrong ; in fact, all who have written and pub-
lished on the subject have used mere assertions and
conjectures, without any proof; and in all the printed
copies of that delightful music, it has never appeared
in the list of any composer's works who has been
reported the composer of it. In fact, no composer
has claimed it, but it has been attributed to them
after their decease. Mr. Clark has, by indefatigable
research and perseverance for several years past,
most completely decided the question and set it at
rest, not to be disputed any longer; and in the dis-
covery of the real composer of this loyal and na-
tional anthem, his name is most appropriate, as it
is no other than the national character, John Bull.—
Mr. Clark has traced back from the records and books
of the Merchant Tailors' Company, that it was com-
posed and sung on the wonderful escape of King
James the First from the Powder Plot, and sung in
their Hall by the Gentlemen and children of his Ma-
jesty's Chapel Royal on the day when King James
dined there, when a grand solemn entertainment, to
celebrate the event of the King's escape from the
Gunpowder Plot was given, and it is supposed that
the Church Service was performed previous to the
entertainment, as the Dean and Sub-Dean were pre-
sent, and an organ was erected in the Hall upon the
occasion, which was on the 16th of July, 1607.
Doctor John Bull was first Professor of Music to
Gresham College in 1596, and was chosen Organist
to King James the First in 1607, and played be-
fore the King at the abovementioned entertainment.
It appears by the Merchant Tailors records that the
Master of the Company conferred with Ben Jonson,
who was then Poet Laureat, to write some verses for
anAnthem, which he accordingly did, beginning with
Goy save Great James our King, and Dr. John Bull
set them to music, which is the same so universally
admired now" George" is substituted. The whole will
be found applicable to those times; and in Dr. John
Bull's MS. Catalogue of Music, No. 56, is GOD save
the King. Another memorable composition was per-
formed at the above entertainment for the first time.
A Latin Grace, Non Nobis Domine, was written for
the occasion, and set to music as a Canon by Mr.
William Byord, one of the Gentlemen of the King's
Chapel, and It was sung at the King's table for the
first time. It is a remarkable circumstance that these
two pieces continue to be preferred to all others; in
fact, no others have vied with them,. and they are
both still sung at every festival and public.clizuz tr.

COURT OF KTNG'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 14.
NEALE V. TIASSON. _

This was an action of assumpsit to recover the sum
of £5O from the defendant.
The circumstances of the case are these t the plain-
tiff, who is a ship-owner, applied to the defendant,
a ship-broker, to procure a charter for his vessel, the
t3oddington. The defendant accordingly went to
Mr. Wanlus, a merchant, who agreed to engage the
vessel on a voyage to Madeira and St. Vincent's ; but
the plaintiff declined accepting him. The defendant
was in possession of the ship's register, which he re-
fused giving up to plaintiff, unless he would pay him
£5O, the estimated commission that he would have
on the freightage of the ship in this voyage. In order
to get back the register, the plaintiff paid the de-
fendant the £5O, to recover which the present action
was brought.
Mr. MARRYATT stated the plaintiff's case, and in
support of it cited Mash and Taylor, Bateson and
Watson, cases recently decided.
Mr. SCARLETT stated the defendant's case.
The CHIEF Jusrice was of opinion, that an attorney
or broker could have no lien for a contingent interest.
In this case, as the ship had not taken her freight, it
could not be determined what the broker's commis-
sion would be. He, therefore, directed the Jury to
find a verdict for the plaintiff, but at the same time
observed, that it could not prejudice any action the
merchant or broker may bring fur a bi-each ofLoven:mt

OWEN r. SMITH.

This was an action of trover to recover a chaise
and harness.

The particulars of the case were, that the plaintiff
obtained a chaise, harness, and horse from a Mr.
Birkins, who kept a livery-stable in Weymouth-mews,
Portland-place, on a positive agreement that they
should not Le removed till paid for. He some time
after went to Mr. Birkins again, and requested him
to procure another horst for him, representing that
he would pay him in a few days, as he expected his'
father in town. NI r. Birkins accordingly procured the
horse. The plaintiff shortly after went to \lr. Birkins'
li very • stable, and in his absence prevailed on the ostler
to let him take them out, on a pretence of idiug along
with his-brother, to whom he was anxious to shew
the action of this horse, hut he never returned. Mt.
Birkins traced him to Cheltenham, where he found
that the plaintiff, who had been first knots n to him
under the name of Hoare, had sold the chaise, har-
ness, and horse by public auction, for less than he
had agreed to iv e. The chaise and harness he bought
back again, and sent them to Gloucester, whence he
sent them to the defendant, who bad a livery-stable
at Kennington. Mr. Birkins found them there,
and Smith consented to give them up to him, OR re-
ceiving an indemnity from any consequences that
might ensue. So it appeared Mr. Birkins was the
real defendant. The defence set up was, that the
property had been obtained fraudulently, and that
the plaintiff had assumed several names, one of which
only, " Hoare," was proved. The evidence was also
defective with regard to the manner of obtaining the
property, and the sale which took place at Chelten-
ham. It appeared that a bill of exchange, drawn
by Mr. Birkins on plaintiff, and accepted by him for
£llO had been given in payment for the chaise, horse,
and harness, but there was no proof that the bill had
been presented for payment at his residence in Man-
chester-street.
The CHIEF JUSTICE interposed here, and said there
could he no doubt in law that the bill vested a right
of property in the plaintiff It was a very unfortu-
nate situation for the defendant—but nobody could
help seeing what kind of case it was. It was ne-
cessary to decide accordingly, and he therefore di-
rected the Jury to return a verdict for the plaintiff
for any sum over 30 guineas.—Verdict £32.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEBRUARY 14.
CHAMPION V. TERRY.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered.
Messrs. Champion and Noble, grocers in London,
served the defendant, who resides at Dudley, with
goods to the amount of £l5O, for which a bill was
given to the plaintiff's traveller, who put it in the
Post at Birmingham, with other bills, amounting to
£12,000, for remittance to the firm. The letter never
arrived ; and, upon a demand being made to the de-
fendant for the payment of the amount, he refused,
on the ground that, as there was no proof of the bill
having been destroyed, he might be compelled by the
holder .fterwards to pay again.
The CHIEF JUSTICE, in his charge to the Jury,
said, the party who brought an action upon a bill
could not recover without producing the bill, or
giving proof that it had been destroyed. No such
proof had been given in this case, and therefore the
plaintiff could not recover; but he left the question,
as to whether payment had been made for the goods,
to the decision of the Jury, who returned a verdict
for the defendant, a question upon the case being re-
served for the opinion of the Court.
ARCHES COURT, FEBRUARY 14.

CHICHESTER V. THE MARQUIS AND MARCHIONESS ON

DONEGAL.

Sir Join; nom. gave judgment in the above ap-
peal, from the sentence of the Consistory Court of
London, at the instance of Arthur Chichester, Esq.
who appeared under protest to the jurisdiction. The
Judge of the Consistory Court having over-riled the

.401 S Appeal was Agaille thA decision. t j
Judge observed, he was bound to cow
character of this easel There entre
attending the suit. which must ezci
ofthe Court and put.it on its guard. In
cording to law. whittler or not this
__ and void, the Court was bound to
into the peculiar character of the case.
Donegal might entertain a strong wish.
from Lord Donegal, whereby to dis-
rhich had endured twenty-five years,
they having seven children, of whom were se-
veral sons, heirs.of the family, whose interests might
be deeply involved in the present question, which in-,
volved that of their legitimacy, it Might nevertheless
be the wish of all parties to have the fate of this mar.
riage determined by competent jurisdiction. It was_
only by going fully into the evidence, that the Con-
sistory Court could ascertain the truth of Mr,Chkhes-
ter's allegation, that this suit wal carried on fraudu-
lently and collusively. The Court was of opinion
the Judge of the Court below had done perfectly
right, in overruling the Protest of Mr. Chichester,
and in permitting the cause to proceed, and therefore
dismissed this appeal with costs.
In a suit of restitution of conjugal rights, brought
by a wife against her husband (and whose names we
are induced to omit), and met by a responsive alle-
gation on the part of the husband, charging adultery
in bar of the wife's suit, Sir J. NICHOL observed, that
this appeared to be one of those unfortunate cases of
jealous impression on the part of the husband, in con-
sequence of which he had withdrawn himself from
his wife, either from feelings of resentment or misre-
presentations made to him of his wife's conduct.—
He thought it the duty of the Court, to relieve its
own mind from the regret it felt under this unhappy
impression, to recommend what he had no doubt the
Counsel on both'sides would concur in, and assist in
recommending to their clients, namely, that the hus-,
band would endeavour to remove from his mind any
apparently unfounded suspicion of his wife's fidelity;
since it appeared they had several children, issue of
the marriage, and had lived and cohabited together
for many years in the most perfect harmony. The
Court sincerely wished they might consult their own
and their children's happiness, in doing so again; as
the wife, who protested her innocence, was anxious
to return to the bosom of her husband and children.
Dr. LUSIIINGTON most heartily concurred in the
benevolent wish of the Court, and would confer with
his client on the subject.
The hearing of the cause was therefore deferred.
