he had no chance of winning against real game any—Lc..., man.
The battle lasted 19 minutes.

A second battle was fought between a Jew and a
Christian, but of a bleaus nature, although it lasted

ba alfancy bitch, the favourite, but aftet one dog
hat en killed, she got her left leg broke, and was
drawn. The boll was placid, and Mr. Giles, of Bil-
lingsgate, had the enviable distinction of winning the
prize. Gibbons officiated as master of the ceremonies,
and first got the bull into play by turning-to a fine-
bred dog.
An adventurer, who was on the look-out for a
lamer, produced a badger, and the pastime of the day
ended with drawing it from its den by subscription.

PF.Drinetamem.—Yesterday William Le Mayne, a
weaver, in Church street, Bethnal Green, undertook,'
for a wager of aes, to go on 19ot from Shoreditch
Church to Theobalds, Hens, and back again, in two
hours and three quarters, the distance being twenty-
four miles. He started at six o'clock, when odds
were against him four to three ; stopped to bait at
Tottenham a few minutes, and reached Theobalds'
at 14 minutes after seven ; when, after refreshing
about ten minutes, he started on his.return, stopped
a short time at Edmonton, and arrived at the starting
post about 39 minutes past eight o'clock, completing
his task six minutes within the time.
About o'clock, on the evening of the 14th instant,
while two Gentlemen and a Lady were walking
near Glasgow, on the Edinburgh road, within a few
yards of Whitevale, they were attacked by tour ruf-
fians, dressed like sailors, who, without asking a
question, knocked one of the Gentlemen down, and,
having presented a loaded pistol to the breast of the
other, they proceeded to rifle the pockets of his cont.
paniob. He made a bold resistance, but one of the
ruffians stabbed him with a bayonet in ten different
parts of his body ; one of which was aimed at his
heart. While this ruffian was inflicting these wounds,
another held his throat, and a third robbed him of a
gold watch, six pound notes, 225. 6d. in silver, and
other articles. The shrieks of the Lady had attrac-
ted the notice of a family in Whitevale, who received
the party. We are happy to learn that the wounded
Gentleman is in a fair way of recovery.
