THE FIGHT.

1. Sharp stood with his left side forward, and made play at
starting. The Gipsy sparred out at full arms length, and was
ready. Both too full of fury to mind their hits—got to work in an
instant, closed and rolled over. No mischief.
2. Cooper grinned like a Yahoo with rage, and Sharp Sew at
him with the ferocity of a tiger. In the whirlwind of passion one
should have a temperance to give it calmness, but our actors were
unconscious of all rules, and fought out of all propriety. Cooper got
a douse on the chops, and Sharp caught pepper in a rally. The
Gipsy was dropped again.
3. The Gipsy, full of game, went in to his man, and Bishop
Sharp plunged his deadly right hand upon him. Cooper broke
ground and slipped. Sharp still bored him. Cooper dropped on
one knee—found his feet in a twinkling—grinned again,and chopped I
left and right. Both down rolling.
4. S:ill no mischief—look out, Bishop. Cooper slashed his right
hand like a tomahawk. Sharp caught it queerly, and retatneel a
flush hit in the chest, which dropped the Gipsy. Weight must wink.
5. Quick lighting but no hitting—take your time, Gentlemen—
be cool and hit hard. A close and a tumble—Cooper under again
—alas, poor Gipsy !
6. No time lost—a rally againShatp is too heavy—the savage
will not give way—Sharp plunges, Cooper returns with the right—
hit at points—Gipsy down again.
7. This was a scrambling round, with roiling.
8. Sharp rushed in for mischief, and Cooper went down to avoid
punishment.
9. The Gipsy fought with great spirit, and made his round right
handed cleanly. Sharp all abroad from too much passion. Give and
take. Cooper had the best of the round. 6tol on Sharp.
10 and 11. Good for nothing.
12. Sharp rushed in ; Cooper caught him Bush in the middle of
the head; Sharp hit him heavily—merry fighting, and some mis-
chief. Cooper down again.
13. Both jobbed severely—bruises, but no blood; the lancet
wanted. The Gipsy bored down again.
14. It was evident that Cooper had not weight to last against so
much bigger a man, and the spirit which supported him up to this
time was now nearly wasted. He hurt his right arm in stopping
the heavy hits of his opponent, and was unable to keep him out
with the other. After fighting two rounds more, in twenty minutes,
he gave in, by advice of his friends, after a display of courage, game,
and resolution, seldom equalled, and never surpassed.
Sharp won a bloodless battle, but no blunt, and was
taken into a carriage to avoid some indistinct threaten-
ings from the flash side, who, for some reason or other,
were well disposed to act afresh the part of Burley and'
his associates, and sacrifice another arch Bishop Sharp.

Yesterday, Lenny, the pugilist, was brought to
Union•hall, and bound to keep the peace in the three
counties—Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent.

The ensuing Old Bailey Sessions are likely to be very
heavy ; up to Saturday there were 260 prisoners com-
mitted for trial, many of whom are charged with the
commission of capital offences. Prthert and Thomas
Thurtell, although confined in the same prison, have,
not seen each other since their COMMitIIIOI% and they
studiously avoid it, by each making inquiries as to
whether the other attends at the Chapel Service? by
which means they are prevented from meeting.

them for the liberal donation they had presented.
Thomas ihschataster was charged with assaulting --- Travel,
about 15 years of age. It appeared tbat the complainant, and now
ther lad named Coates, bad written letters of a most abominable

a rope's end.—The Lean :Mauna dismissed the complaint, and said

nable conduct.

Han-is, optician, of Holborn. He is a native of St. Helena, where
his father was a merchant. The prisoner was sent to this country,
and appenticed to Mr. Saunders. watchmaker, and Mr. H. being
formerly acquainted with his father, paid him some attention ; in
consequence of which he conceived him Mr. H. to be his guardian,
and that he kept him out of his property. From this persuasion, he
wrote several letters to him, betraying every symptom of a de-
ranged mind, and yesterday he called at the shop, demanded .C5O,
and an immediate settlement of his affairs. In vain Mr. H. at.
tempted to argue with him ; he insisted on au immediate settle.
meat, or that he would shoot him. An Officer was then sent for,
and he was taken into custody. Before the Magistrate he appeared
more cool, but persisted in his determination, and produced a pistol,
primed and loaded ; be had also about Iwo ounces of powder in iris
waistcoat pocket, and a letter, which, be said, he intended to send
to the Lord Chancellor, after committing the fact. Ile was come .
mitted till his friends are apprised of his situation.
