YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND HARRY. JONES.

This pair of juvenile worthies enteied the ring in gal-
lant style about a quarter after one o'clock. Goodman
and Alec Reed attending upon Sam, and ll.ck and
George Curtis upon Harry Jones,. and they supported
the national character by knocking •zach other abopt for
filty-three minutes, in the following older:
Round I.—Sparring for about five minutes—Sam edging in, and
Jones backing out. At last Jones made a well stopped hit, a rally
followed, some little fibbing on both sides, and a roll on the green-
sward. Sam undermost.

Jones edging in, and Sam backing out. Mutual hitting and
stopping. More sparring. Jones punched Sam on his left eye—or
ogle, as the Gentlemen of the Fancy have it. A rally, mutual fib-
bing, and the Juvenile Dutchman thrown by a clever cross-buttock.
5. More bitting and stopping, ending in a hug. Jones hanging
round Sam's neck, and trying to pull him down, whilst Sam
knocked his bead about, until Jones had enough of it, and fell. The
Pet offering 20 to 10 on Sam, and the rain" pouring in torrents."
4. Sam seemingly short of wind. Tedious sparring. Jones hit
out—missed—and a sharp rally followed. Mutual bard hitting,
until Jones slii.ped down. Sam shewed first blood from the
mouth, and it was hailed with yells of delight in honour of the
national character.

5. Jones jobbed Sam in the mouth twice before he could stop him
once, and stopped Sam's attempt at returning the compliment very
cleverly. Sans rushed in—a rally—but no great mischief done, and
a hugging fall—Samuel under.—Still 2 to 1 on Samuel.
6. Tedious sparring. Both hit short. A short rally, and Jones
wtnt down to prevent anything uncomfortable.
7. Tedious sparring again. Cries of " Why don't you fight ?"
and at it they went, fibbing and punching lustily, until Sam was
thrown with a terrible squelch.—Still 2 to 1 on Sam.
8. Sam seemingly piping again—either from habit or lack of
breath. Jont s hit out, and Sans stopped. Sam hit out, and Jones
stopped. Cries of "Goin !" and they did. Hard thumping on
both sides. Jones knocked to the right-about—rushed in again—
much mutual punching, and Jones " grassed" as flat as a flounder.
9. Sparring and rally again, in which Jones got some unkind
thumps on the neck, and again was grassed.
10. Much the same, and both down.
U. Ditto, and Sans thrown.
12. Jones jobbed Sam, and Sam jobbed Jones, until the blood
began trickling from Jones's left eye. Yell; of delight at the
sight of the said blood. Sam thrown and well fibbed in his way
down ; but still no great mischief done.
13. Jones stopped right and left, and jobbed Sam in the mouth
again.—Rally—weaving at the ropes, and Jones down.
14. Both cautious. Jones hit out, and Sam stopped. Jones tried
it again, a rally—hugging for a fill, and Jones thrown again.
15. itt° repeated.
16. Junes made first play without doing anything, and got an
ugly punch on the eye in return. Rally, and Sam down.
17. Sharp counter-hitting, of which Jones got rather the worst,
and then rolled himself down. Much disapprobation from the
gentlemen-knackers, &c. present.
18. After a short and cautious sparring bout, Sam pinked Jones
on the mouth ; Jones went down without further ceremony, and
there was an end of the matter—Jone.'s seconds giving in for him.
Iik3IARLIL—Sam much more severely punished than Junes, and
the knowing ones seemed to look upon the result as a " done the g."

SAVAGE AND KIRKMAN.
This was a goi.up fight for £25 a•side, between Savage, a long
thin cabriolet driver; and Kirkmau, a short dumpy hackney coach-
man. Dick Curtis and Gaynor picked up Savage, and Bandy Tom
and a novice did the honours for Kirkman. the only thing worth
notice in this fight was Savage's smiling countenance, and his right
arm, which seemed to be something like the Irishman's gun, made
for shooting round a corner, for he never hit Kirkman anywhere
but on the back part of his neck. They fought or rather hawed
over fifty-eight rounds in the short space of one hour and a quarter;
and then Savage gave in, and everybody made for the nearest
shelter, for the rain continued spouting away most • unmercifully
throughout the whole business.

• A young lady in Connecticut has been killed by
lightning, and her breast mangled in a frightful',
manner, supposed to have been caused by the electric
fluid being attracted to a steel busk which she wore in
her corsets.—New England raper.
Loam COCIIRANR.—A few days ago, Phis distin-
guished Nobleman, accompanied by his Lady, arrived
at the Crown Hotel, Irvine, in a travelling carriage and
four. They only stayed to change horses, during which
time a crowd collected round the carriage, all anxious
to get a sight of his. Lordship. When he set off, the
crowd gave him a hearty cheer, which his Lordship
acknowledged by repeatedly bowing. The party pro-
ceeded to Dundonold, where his Lordship visited the
old castle, once the princely residence of his ancestors,
and from which his father takes his title. He seemed
to feel great interest in examining the ruins of the castle,
and expressed his intention, at an early period, of taking
up his abode amongst us. When the party returned
from the Castle-hill, the whole inhabitants of the Ira-
' lage had assembled, and cheered them as they departed.
They then proceeded on their way to Hamilton Palace,
where they were to remain that night.—Ayr Courier.
By letters from Naples of the 27th September, it
appears that there are two or three Tr ipolttan Corsairs 1
in the Adriatic, and that they have recently been seen
with two priz •s, supposed to have been Neapolitan ves-
sels. A Neapeli:an frigate has been dispatched alter
these corsairs, and tl.e Vesuvius, a ship of the line, was
on her: way to Tripoli. The Government of Naples
has ordered a quarantine of fourteen days for any of
its sessels going from one port of that kingdom to an-
c:ther, under the apprehension that the Captain might
iconceal the circumstance of having 'been boarded •by
the Corsairs. on hoard of whose :hips ere plague is
said to rage.
