11 and 4. These rounds were give and take, to the emend at
nature. Peters continued to have the best in the first of dm
roods; but Flowers had his turn in strength, and he deified
like a workman. Peters was under in two falls, midbMh woo
fatigued out of time.
S sad 6. These rounds produrtd bat little mischief, as both
were waiting to get their wind mended. They, however, un-
muzzled again in the seventh round, and no brave meta ever
stood more firm to duty. A thanes hit placed Peters's bead
upon his right shoulder, and a pistol could not have dropped him
more neatly. It won Flowers the battle, although the tinman
fought three more rounds under every disadvantage. Ills
seconds yielded victory to Flowers very reluctantly.
The battle Listed forty-four minutes, in which ten very gay
rounds were fought. A purse of something under 51. was col-
lected for the loser.

A battle took place early yesterday morning in an open space
adjoining (Ad Gravel-lane, between two labouring men of the
names of And and Shaw i when, after fighting about so minutes.
the latter was knocked down, and falling ea his head, fractured
it in a most dreadful manner.

The Earl of Dusnowm.n has written a biographi-
cal sketch of the family of the late Mr. Court's.—
Speaking of this Gentleman's grandmother, a daugh-
ter of Sir J. COCHRANE,he relates the following anec-
dote Sir JOHN COCHRANE being engaged in AR
clads rebellion against Jamas 11. was taken prisoner
after a desperate resistance, and condemned to be
hanged. Ilis daughter having notice that the death
warrant was expected from London, attired herself in
men's clothes, and twice attacked and robbed the
mails (between Belford and Berwick) which conveyed
the death warrant; thus, by delaying the execution,
giving time to Sir J. COMMA/II:3 father, the Earl ofl
DUNDONALD, to make interest with Father PETER, a
Jesuit, King JANIES'S confessor, who, for the sum of
£5OOO, agreed to intercede with his Royal master in
favour of Sir J. COCHRANE,' and to procure his par-
don; which was effected."
A PIG OUTWITTED.MATHEWS, itt one of his en-
tertainments, raises a hearty laugh, by telling the fol-
lowing story of an Irishman driving a pig ;--Animals
of this species are well known for their obstinacy, and
fur their perseverance in endeavouring to go any

way but that which you wish them to take. MA-
TH aws asked the Irish bog-trotter where he was taking
the pig ? and the following colloquy ensues:" Spice
lower, your Honour ; pray spade lower." " Why
should I speak lower? I only ask you whither you
are driving the pig ?" " Spake lower." " What
reason can you have for not answering so trifling a
question?" Why sure, I would answer your swate
Honour anything, but I am afraid he'll hare me."—
" What then?" " Then he'll not go—for I'm taking
him to Cork, but making him belave be going to
Fermoy !"
