FIVES' COURT. . .
Tom Reynolds had his benefit at the Yives'-Cotkrt, y...qerday,and
had an over owing house. Many persons were obliAett to retire,
from the impessibility of obtaining admission. The sets-to were,

in their attendance, and the shamrock was conspicuous in most of
the castors present. Some of the English Ring mounted the Cf.:,

six pounds in weight; Neale weighs twelve stone. Neale acrepttd
the challenge, and three sovereigns a-side were staked forthwith,-„
be made ten sovereigns, during the evening, at Bums. The et six%

his benefit; but their absence did not seem to excite any regret.
