DEATH BY FIGHTING.

Monday evening the 28th ult. a battle was fought near Bishr.)
Bridge, in Norwich, between two men, named Urint and Pur.;,4
the former a dyer, and the latter a weaver. Neither of tc
parties had any pretensions to pugilistic science ; and they fought
desperately for an hour, when Purdy became quite insensible,
and was carried to the public-house where the quarrel originat
here he remained in a state of stupefaction 62 the neat day,
when he was conveyed home in a coach. The unfortunate man,
unable to speak, lingered till Thursday morning, and then Mel

Rumour says, that a " Voice from St. Helena" is
likely to be heard in one of the Courts in Westminster
Hall the present Term.
A scene of rather a novel nature took place in Hul.
gerford Market last Sunday. A fernek preacher came
there about seven o'clock in the morning, and preacbed
a sermon in a very at :rig and impressive manner. Sl.
attracted a number of persons to hear her, who be-
hared most orderly. She had the appearance of a
Quakeress, and seemed to be about SO yeats of age.
THe KEELMEN OF THE RIVER TYNE.--Thursday,
Alderman FoastEa went up the water to escm t some
keels down. He proceeded nearly as far as Lemington,
sent forward the police boats to Wylam staith. The dismouncei
uvalry were in the barge with the 51agistrates, but they re-
amed down the river without waiting to see if the police boat;
succeeded In bringing away the keels. Four keels at IVylair,
it appears, were got under weigh, and proceeded with little roe-
kiwi= till they reached Scotswood, when they were assailed b:
td sum of stones from a great body of keelmen, who put off in as
keel from the shore, and soon gained possession of the fel:r
obliging the police to fly to the boats to save their lie.-s.
The Magistrate and bis troop were out of danger. They la
come down the river u far as the King's Meadow', bcfoe
they were overtaken by the police boats. They did not reels
to the scene of action. We should do injustice to the mirttiTY
if we did not state, that they, one and all, desired to gort
pursuit of the aggressors. It was, however, decreed otherw.e.
Yesterday a meeting of the coal owners was held, and they ce-
terroined to have as many keels as possible conveyed this !la!
down the river by seamen and others, under the proceed-a of at
adequate civil and military force, but passed no Resolutions re.
boa to the keeknen. Sines the intrrferenee of the sennuni LO
prevent the loading a sm all ships at the sports, no interrupdo
bee been attempted.—Tynan Mercury.
In the Court of Common Pleas yesterday, R.T.

and one female served with some pork at the shop of Mr. Stritt,.
twenty minutes before twelve oclock, on Sunday, the erb
October. The shutters were all up, but the shop doors open 4.
both places. They were then severally convicted in the pearl
