Borimc.—Yefterday i pitched battle was fought
Err twenty-five guineas, in Iflington Fields, between
Caleb Harding, a horfe dealer, and. a copper-plate
engraver, of the name of Willis. The parties are
men of property, and a difpnte originated between
them concerning the amount of a borfe fold to Wil-
lis, which was returned. The dealer is a known'
fighter, and the engraver thought himfelf an equal
match for his opponent ; and it was agreed that the
value of the hnrhorfefhould be fought for. They fet to
eagerly, and fome well planted-blows were put in on
both fides, in the firft round, when Caleb was knock-
ed down. The eontea was equal until they had
fought twenty minutes, when Willis became very fa-
tigued from lots of wind. The ring was broken at
this Rage of the fight„as it was fuppofed to give an
opportunity for Willis to regain his wind, which had
the defined effea ; for he fo far recovered hiinfelf as
to beat his man with cafe in lets than ten minutes af-
ter. They were both much bruifed, and Harding
was quite blind. There were prefent moa of the
blackguards of note.
NOVILTY IN Loacion.--On Saturday, Monday,
Tuefday, and Thurfday laft, the Lafcars of the Ma-
hometan perfualton, at the EMI end of the town, had
a grand reliious feftival. The firft day they made
a flow proceWon, along the New Road, St. George's
in the Eaft, Cannon-ftreet, Ratcliff Highway, Shad-
well, and other ftreets, with drums and tambou-
rines. In the courfe of the proceffion they perform.
ed pantomimical dances with drawn fwords,„ cutting
the air in various forms ; then followed four blacks
dreffed in long white robes, holding emblematical
figures in their hands ; another held a vale, in which
was a fire, and a man in a white veftment, treading
backwards, threw incenfe into it. At every turn of
the Itreets, a group of the fame people lifted up their
hands and heads to Heaven, hymning fume paffages
out of the Alcoran. They condufied themfelves with
the greateß decorum. On Monday and Tuefday
they had two more folemn procelLons the fame way,
and on Thurfday another fucceeded, which doled
their religious fettival. We underftand that this was
a kind of jubilee, in honour of the commencement of
their new year, and tranflation of MANI:Mir into Pa-
radife, and imploring him and the Derry to give
peace to the faltering world, and to them a fate re-
turn to their own country.

On Saturday, John Polon, a hackney-coachman,
was charged at the Marlborough-greet Office, with
ill.treating Mrs. GORDON) and two other Ladies, and
' exalting an illegal fare. The Defendant was hired
io Piccadilly, and ordered to drive to Henfington.
On his way, be agreed to run a race with another
coachman; and, notwithfianding the alarm and en-
treaties of the paffengers, he peffilled in his mifcon-
due, till he was Bopped by a waggon, when the La-
dies extricated themfelves, and paid him his whole
fare. He was feverely reprimanded, and fined zos.
Saturday A. Thompfon was finally committed
from Hatton Garden-office, for fwindling. It ap-
peared that he was connelted with a (windier lately
apprehended, who called himfelf Lord Hawke.
On Saturday, at the Office in.Whitechapel, a man
named Gaffe was committed for trial, for a ludicrous
kind of felony. He'liad bargained in Rofemary.lane
for a pair of breeches of a very law fize, and in try-
ing them on, be contrived to conceal three waffler:las
within them. He was in the 67th year of his age, and
lately held a comfbrtable fituation under government.
Penelope Edwards has been committed to Stafford
gaol, for the wilful murder, by poifon, of her Mier,
Elizabeth Adams, of Walfall.
J. Waltho, lately convieled of fetting fire to a
barn, many years ago, was ordered to be executed

tear Margate, in company with her brother and an.
other young man, they were flopped by 16 foldiers on
the road to Broadllairs, when the unfortunate young
woman was taken by force from berfriends by there
ruffians, and treated in a manner too thocking to re.
late—She is laid to hare fince died. Eight of the
villains have been apprehended.

Some days ago, a young man, the fon of a farmer
name/ Wittman, at Kingtten-upon-Life, Rerks, was
lacing on has thoes, his father came behind bin in a
paffion, and knocked him down with the broad end of
an axe. He then, with the tharp edge, nearly fevered
his bead from his body. The poor yoath expired on
Tuefday evening, and the father. on being commit-
ted to Reading gaol, Stewed no marks of infanity, but
cantered he was actuated to 'the crime by an idea

It will he recolleeed that among the papers re-
(petting the Slave Trade, which were laid on the
table of the Houle of Commons in the laftStffion of
Parliament, was the following Extratl of a Letter of
Lord Ss APOILTII4 the Governor of Barbadoes, to
Lord Hosea?, dated March 18, tBo2 :" Your Lord-
(hip will obferve in the (aft day's proceedings of the
affembly, that theacciority ojthe Hoofs bad tam coai
citrate lime at a atrfige of mine, recommencing an to
he pied to matte the murder ofaflave felonj. At prefects the
fine for the crime is only 151. currency, or I ii. 4s.flerling."
A continuation of the correfpondence between
Lord StATORTH and the Secretary of State has
Lately been prefented to the Honie of Commons,
and printed for the ufe of the Members. A few ex-
troth from it will serve to thew Rill more ftrongly
than even the above quoted pottage, in what a de-
ptirable Rate of unprotetted tvretchednefs the hap-
left negro race are placed in Barbadoes, the WO and
civilifed of ourflave colonies.
On the 13111 of November, acie, Lord SE•YORTN
thus writes to Earl CAMDEN 46 I Marie (nor pa-
pers, containing from different quarters, reports on the
horrid murders I mentioned in tome former letters.
?hey are feigned from a great number, among stibkh there
is not one contradielon of the lmrible fat*, though revere!'
of the letters are very concife 'and defective. The
truth is that nothing has given me more trouble than
to get to the bottom of tilde bufineffes, fo horribly
abfurd are the prejudices of the people. However,
a great part of my objet is answered, by the alarm
my interference has excited, and the attention it has
called to the Winds. Bills are already prepared to
make murder felony, tut I fear they will k thrown
out for she ?relent in the ONO. The Council are una-
nimous on the fide of humanity."
In a fubfequent letter, dated the 7th of January, ,
Lord Sseroare thus writes : " I inclofe the
Attorney General's letter to me on the Idled of the
negroes Co moft wantonlfmurdered. lam forry to
fay, leveret other inftances of the fame barbarity
have occurred, with which I have not troubled your
• Lordship, as I only wifhed to make you acquainted
with the fiabjeB in general."
The letters to which Lord SIATORTH refers, and
which accompany the above extracts, are from four
of the molt relperftable individuals in the .Ifland of
Barbadoes. viz. Mr. Imes, Piefident of the Council;
Mr. COULTHURST, ildweate General ; Mr. BOCCI'S,
Atom, General; and the Rev.. Mr. Pit.setn. Thefe
Gentlemen all agree in the material fags of the cafes
which they Rate. It will be unneceffam therefore,
(nor would row limits allow us) to tranfcribe the
whole of their letters. The following is the fob-
fiance of the Raiment, which they contain:
t. A militia man, of the name of HALLS, of the
St. Michael's regiment, returning from military duty,
faw fume negroes before him, who were going quietly
home from their labour. He called out that he
would kill them, and immediately began to run after
them. The negroes imagining that he was in joke,
did not endeavour to efcape ; but, as he came up,
made way for him to pats. The wary! to him king a
woman far advanced in prepaney, and the mother of five
orfix children, k coolly and driberatel yplunged bit bayonet
feversl tames into kr body, without the 'matte fliromea-
tion, when the poor creature dropped, mel expire without
a groan. Mr. Haammo, a gentleman who was an
eye-witnefs of this horrid salon, told HALLs that be
ought to be hanged. 44 For what," (aid HALLS,
with puha indifference, " for killing a Negro r
Mr. HARDING, however. procured affillance, and
carried him before a Mtgiftrate. The Magißrate,
Mr. WAITS'', being at allots how to proceed, Of the
law of the Rand gave him nojuryiiiim in the teyi, went
to confult Mr. Ince, Prefident of the CounciL " I
told him," Lays Mr. Irma, 46 that I regretted with
real concern, the deficiency of our law, but that
• there was a penalty due to the King in Poch cafes,"
(meaning the 111.45. above-mentioned) " and that
I would order him to be committed till he paid the
forfeiture, or a fait timid be commenced againft
.him. Perhaps, my Lord, it was a flreteh of power
in me to order commitment before a ucovery of the
fine • but the evidence of Mr. HAWING, a man of
unbleminted choraCter, the circumftances of the cafe
Co horrid, Co wickedly deliberate, and Co unprovoked,
confpired to induce me to secure his perfon until the
only remedy of fume punithment could be applied.
Lamentable indeed it is, that our Affembly Itould
look upon fuch things with cold indifference."
2. Mr. Colbeck. who lived overfeer on Cabbage-
Tree Plantatiod, in St. Lucy's parifb, bad bought a
new Aegra boy, and carried him home. Conceiving
. a liking to the boy. he took him into the houfe and
made him wait at table. Mr. Crone, the Overfeer
of Rowe's 'Rate, which is near to Cabbage Tree
4 plantation, was in the habit of cutting Colbeck, had
noticed the boy and knew him well. A fire happen-
ing in the neighbourhood, Colbeck went to give at-
finance. and the boy followed him. Colbeck, on his
return home miffed the boy, and as he did not make
his appearance the next day, fent round to the nigh-
bouts, and particularly to Crone, informing them that
the boy was miffing, and defiring them to fend him
home, if they (Mould meet with him. After a lapfe
of two or three days, the poor creature was difeover-
ad in a Gully (a deep water courfe) near to Rowe's
'Rate, and a number of Negroes boon aftembled
round the place. The boy, who could not hub ono word
of Englilb, being naturally certified with the threats,
the noire, and the appearance of fo many people, re-
treated into a hole in a rock. By this time Crone,
and tome other white perfons,had come up. By their
orders Ore was put to tkplale where tbe was ; who,
when it began to pinch him, ran from his hole to a
piece of water, which was near. Some of the negroes
went in after him. and the boy, it is (aid, took up a
!tone and threw it at one of them. On this two of
the white men, Crone and Hollingfworth, fret/ !nerd.
times at him witbjbm,asd the negroes pelted him withfioaes.
- He Mai at length dragged out bra dying condition, for he bad
not only received feveral &gifts from thelena, int bit bred,
cow fo *greed with tlefbot, that it was like a tidiest/sr.-
7he white favager (we ufe the language of Mr. At-
torney General Bucks) ordered the negro:: to dig a
gram Ii his they were rigging it, the poor creature made
firs of knits, for water, which was not given hint; km
as loon as tbe grave was ready, be wart brown' into it and
covered veer and, as there is realm to believe, whirs yet
Colbeck, the owner of the boy, hearing that
a gegrne had been killed, went to Crone to enquire
into the truth of tits report. Crime told him that a
