THE RING.

The deposit for the fight between Lenney and Young Sam, was
made good on Monday night at George Cooper's. They will fight
on Monday next, for 25 (on Lenney) against '2O. The friend of
Young Gas was not forthcoming, and the match between hint and
Gaynor has evaporated.

PEDESTRI ANISM.
Mattingley, the Nottinghamshire pedestrian, started early yester-
day morning, to go fronsTottenham-court.road to a place near South
Slims, fifteen miles, in one hour and a half, at two starts, resting ten
minutes. Ile did his miles within a few seconds of six minutes
under and over, and accomplished the ten miles within an hour,
and halted, and then performed the remaining five miles in half a
minute less than the half hour, winning cleverly. It was for
twenty sovereigns.

THE ORANGE INSTITUTION.—The Orangemen of
Ireland, on Friday, in Grand Lodge assembled, came to an unani-
mous Resolution to dissolve their Body.
Sunday night, Mrs. Roberts, of Green Harbour-place,
Skinner-street, Snow-hill, was dreadfully burned by her
clothes catching fire while sitting in the parlour reading
a Bible. Iler son had retired to rest a few minutes pre-
vious, and hearing his mother's screams he went to her
assistance, and endeavoured to extinguish the flscries by
rolling her in the carpet; in so doing he was very
much injured by the fire. Both mother and son wer e
conveyed to the Hospital, where the for rater lingered
until yesterday, when she died.
EXPLOSION OF GAS.—Monday evening, an explosion
or gas took place in the shop of Mr. Harrison, a tailor,
in Worship-street, Shoreditch. There is no gas laid on
in Mr. Harrison's house, but owing to some defect in
the pipes which pass underneath the footpath immedi-
ately in front of the shcp, for the supply of the street
lamps, the gas had escaped, and forced its way beneath
and throu;.;ll the flooring of the shop. On Mr. Harri-
son's entering with a lighted candle, the gas inflamed
and exploded, not with one burst, but rather, as he de-
scribed it, with a succession of explosions, somewhat in
the manner of a feu de joie. The boards of the flooring
were forced upwards by the violence of the shocks, but
the shutters not being closed, the gas found vent the Dag')
the windows, every pane in s hich was destroyed, and the
fragments carried to the opposite side of the street.
We understand a very unfortunate occurrence has
taken place at Mount:itch. A number of persons were
drinking in a public-house, when they were fired at
through the window, and (our informant says) two shot
dead, and another, in making his escape, is as stabbed.
Six of the perpetrators of this outrage have been appre-
hended and identified, and their arms, which were those
of the Yeomen, taken from them.—DuNias t:verrita,4 Post

)7t4eAS AD THE STUCk EXCHANOE.
, .
Yesterdayi a Gentleman went to the Mansiowhouse,
almost breathless, and stated that he had been ilLused
at the Stock Eschange, which place be had entered,
conceiving it was open to the Public ; but no sooner
had he got in, than he was assailed by a number of
I pei sons, who knocked off his hat, and afterwards
knocked him down, and beat him severely—that in the
scuffle he had torn a silk handkerchief from one of their
necks, which he produced, with a gold pin in it, and
part of a shift, hill, collar, &c. The LORD MAYOR
directed Mr. Cope, the Marshal, to go and make some
inquiry respecting it. Mr. Cope soon afterwards re-
turned, accompanied by several Members, when the
Gentleman gave his name J. Harrold, and stated that
he lived at No, '25, Friday•street, Cheapside ; that he
went into the Stock Exchange yesterday morning, and
on his entry was asked if he was a Member ?—he could
not recollect what answer he made, for he was instantly
surrounded (a signal being previously given), his hat
was knocked off, and he himself knocked down. One
of the Gentlemen present struck him, and he seized
him by the handkerchief; which was torn off in the
scuffle. Mr. J. Langhorne, the Gentleman alluded to,
stated that the complainant seized him without any pro-
vocation on his part, and held him so fast by his cravat
that some persons were compelled to cut it through, to
prevent his being strangled ; that after being struck se-
veral times he was dragged to the door, and thrown
down the steps into the court, and w as severely injured
by the fall. Mr. Percival Clarke, a Member, stated,
that when the complainant came in, lie asked him if he
were a Member of the House? to which be replied,
" Undoubtedly I am ;" that shoal), after lie saw the
complainant surrounded by a number of persons, one
of whom 1w was holding by the collar. He did not
see the commencement of the affray. Several Gentle-
men confirmed the ab we statement; and added, that
the complainant positively refused to quit, after being
requested to do so.—The LORD MAYOR said, that he
regretted the Members of the Stock Exchange were in
the habit of treating strangers so uncetemoniously, and
thought the Committee ought to put a stop to such
disgraceful practice. One of the Managers stated, that
the Committee had long since endeavoured to do so,
but without effect. The LORD MAYOR then said, he
should dismiss the complaint, and Mr. Hatrold might
indict the parties at the Sessions, if lie thought proper.
Mr. 11. said he certainly should do so, and requested to
be furnished with their names, which were given to
him, and he then left the Office.
