MELANCHOLY EVINT.—A report reached town this morning
by the Eton Coach, and was circulated with the greatest confi-
dence, but which we should be glad to find prove uti:Ounded, of a
pugilistic encounter having taken piece yesterday, between the
youneest • con but one of the Earl of SHA FYI:S.BI2NY and a son of
Cul. Woon, both of whom are scholars at Eton. Several rounds
were fought, in the last of which the F.arl's son fell down in an apes
plectie fit and immediately expired. Surgical assistance was promptly
called in, but without avail. We cannot vouch for the perfect
accuracy of the above, but from enquiries made at his Lordship's
town residence in Grovesnor-square, we learn that an express
reached town this morning at ten o'clock, and that in consequence
his Lordship immediately set off for Eton. The servants are not
aware of the nature of the communication, beyond the fact. that
his Lordship's son had certainly been engaged in a fieht, and that
something serious was the result.
The Meeting at the India House, on the Hyderabad
Papers, which we noticed as taking place yesterday,
Was at six o'clock adjourned to this day.
The examination of the bankrupts, Messrs. Marsh,
Stracey, and Co. which took place yesterday, was to
have been final ; but owing to the complicated state
of the accounts, and the difficulty of ascertaining the
precise amount which the late partner Fauntleroy had
withdrawn from the house, it became necessary to ad-
journ the meeting. The next meeting will be on the
9th of April.
Speculation continues extremely active in the cn.
lonial market, the prices of nearly all articles of produce having
experienced a large additional advance on those of Saturday. The
rise is attributed chiefly to the large orders received from the prin-
cipal towns cn the Continent, where the general belief in a further
decline in value hid led most of the merchants and dealers to keep
a stock on hand only just large enough to carry on their ope-
rations. There is no doubt, also, that consumption at home,
owing to the growing:population and wealth of the country, is ra-
pidlyextending.
In the Court of King's Bench. yesterday, in the ac-
-63;4 De Berrisks o. Balez. the plaintiff was nonsuited. The ac-
tion was brought by the contractor of the first Constitutional Loan
of Spain, to recover front the defendant compensation for a Ins,
sustained by him, in consequence of the defendant (a Spanish mer-
chant, resident in Spain) not h lying remitted one hundred Spanish
hoods or the loan of 1821. A letter of the sth of March we.*
read by which the inference was, that the plaintiff had acquiesced
in the line of conduct adopted by defendant, in regard t
thehonds.
Mansion-Hoesa.—Yesterday, Alfred Rrir.r, a young man of
gentlemanly appearance, the sun of mo-t respectat,le parents, re--
1 siding in the City, was brought before the Loan 'Mavos, 00 a
charge of having in the morning swim two gold watches, from the
shop of Mr. Dulin, the jeweller, in Cornhill. The prisoner de-
clined saying anything in his defence, and was fully committed
for trial. Ilia sang froid rotcmiNhed every one. We understand
that he has been for live years in the cffice of a very eminent
Solicitor as an articled clerk, and that he has, during that time,
conducted himself with propriety.
There was a mill yesterday in a r,glar way, at Temple Mills, on the:
banks of the River Lea, between the Pitman and Torn, the young
Bath Tin a,an—it was for ten sovereigns aside, and sse:s tolerably
well conte,ted, although there was little of science on either side.
The Menem won in 54 rut 1,1% in forty minutes. The pl•ce or"
meeting first apnointe I was Wanstead Hats, where danuary.anir
Woodford fought ; but a Sent having interfered, riot, he said, he.
cause he objected to boxing, but became he was an enemy to prO.
there was a general trot sons the country, and the stakes Were
fixed as above. There were not '.OO spectators present.
Previous to the match, a yokel toot a fancy to pick a quarrel
with Barney Aaron, who wet.; on the toad—and priding himself on
his size, thought proper to aprly an epithet of contempt to the Jew .
Barney " vouldn't Nice no offence from nehody," and at once chal-
lenged him to try his hand. It was ;greed—a ring was formed,
and in four rounds, during every one of which tie big one was
floored, Parent came off victerit.
