BOXING.

The battle between Flowers, the blacksmith, and Weston the
farmer, took place yesterday in the Ashton Pigeon Club-lields,
Oxon, fur one hundred sovereigns. The hght was stopped on
Thursday last in another county, but it was one of great interest
between the Ashton and blidgham Pigeon Clubs, and the beak:
were not allowed to have everything their own way, as nothing
but fighting was meant. Flowers, who was backed by the Midg-
ham Club, had screed many a tidy customer, and Weston had
often Licked of the tram Nothing less than mischief was meant.
In the first round the blacksmith was floored from the scratch
by a heavy bit under the lug, but he took it quietly, shook his
bead, and proved himself undeniable..
2. 'llw smith fought at a disadvantage, three parts upon the
done, and claret was drawn from the nob until it was evident he
was careless about it. Courage upheld the frame, and a right.
band belly go set the farmer squeamish, and reduced the battle to
something near a certainty.
Much bard hitting took place in the four subsequent rounds in
favour of the smith, but he received a heavy cross-buttocking
throw in the 6th round, which stopped him a bit.
The 7th and Bth rounds were tame compared with what had
happened. The men were tired and nothing but goodness
prompted them en. Weston was floored in the last of the two
rounds.

The 9th round won the fight for Flowers. A chance right-
handed blow set the farmer's head upon the roll, and sensibility
had bolted away from him with a broken jaw to boot.
It was altogether a very manly fight and Wood and bustle kept
about equal pace. .

A dreadfal accident occurred yesterday morning on Aba

ba The Tally-ho, a Woolwich opposition coach, bad tht
1 Minority to pan down Blackheath-hill at full gallop. The cme
in its progress nee observed to acquire an undulating mmien,
and-when it arrived about midway down the hill was thrown
over with such violence, Metier side was driven in aid betoken

side and 4 inside, all of whom, with one- exception, received
serious injury. Major M'C&oun, who was a panning; and a
very dne young man, was so seriously hurt that little hopes are
entertained of his recovery, eat a vestige of his face is left, ex-
cept his eyes. Nat une of the passengers have escaped without
broken legs or arms, and several of them it is much feared will
lose their lives. After the accideit happened, moat of the pas-
sengers were conveyed birsit,egaln to Woolwich, some on the
shoulders of men. ardaillvers in caravans; when they were im-
mediately attended by four surgeons from the Hospital. The
above coach was overturned by turning round the corner at the
bottom of the kill, at flail speed. It was dashed in a thousand
pieces • but it appears that the inside passengers received more
hurt than the outside noes. ,

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

This day, 77tomes Newby was indicted for felo-
niously forging a piece of plate bearing the mark of
the Goldsmiths' Company.
MI% PRENDERGAST, Counsel for the prisoner, ad-
vised him to plead Guilty, to which he consented.
Mr. ALLey observed, that the Company would not
offer any evidence on this indictment; but he wi.hed
it to be understood, that this was the last case whete
mercy would be extended.
The prisoner (who is extremely deaf) was charged
on three other indictments, for selling such pieces of
plate with forged and counterfeit marks as aforesaid;
to these the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty, and was
removed from the Bar for the present.
After the other prisoners had been arraigned, Mr.
BoLLA tar stated he should offer no evidence on the
subsequent indictments. _ _ _

The prisoner, for the offence, is liable to seven years
transportation. '

Mr. Justice BEST said he hoped that the mercy
extended on this occasion would not facilitate the
commission of the crime.

The vial of king and Hollands, for a crime re.
%%thing to human nature, came on before Judge BEST.
After an investigation of about an hour, they %sere,
upon the clearest evidence, capitally convicted.

Extract of a letter received in Glasgow, dated Que-
bec, July 28:—" The poor Irish are miserable here ;
thousands land without a penny—they are starving
and lying upon the wharf. On the day we arrive],
the William, of and from Dublin, a small vessel, old
Dutch built, arrived with 150 passengers, nearly '2O,
sick, in consequence of bad water and short pro-
visions. Being afraid of disease, the wife of a decent
miller was refused house-room, although the husband
offered a guinea per day; yesterday she died on the
wharf, close by our ship, under some shingle., %Oleic
they had carried a bed and awning the day before ou
landing her."

FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—In the last page we have
given an account of the destructive fire which broke
out in the premises of Messrs. ROSE and GOULSTON,
of Bermondsey, last night. It appears that the de'-
struction it has mated is greater than was at first
known. Fourteen houses in Paragon-row are nearly
destroyed, and seven smaller houses have been pulled
down to prevent the spreading of the flames.• Among
the persons that fell from the scaffold, when viewing
the fire, several were severely hurt, two had their legs
broken, and another his thigh dislocated. Not iJr-
standing the exertions of the fi:emen, and th..t
engines were playing on the fire at once, yet the
damage is estimated at 100,0001. a portion of which
only is ensured. The Hope Fite-office is said to be
the principal sufferer.

GUILDHALL--.THE ADVARTAOTS OF INTIUSTRY —On Saturday
evening, between eight and nine o'clock, as a Mrs. Morgan,, re-
siding in Francis-street,Gray's-1 nn-lane- road, was paosing through
Fleet-market, she found herself suddenly surrounded by five or

six men, who hustled her from one to the other for a few minutes,
and on getting clear from them, she discovered that her pocket
had been cut, through her shawl, gown, and petticoat ; the only
loss she sustained was sonic loose change and her pockee-book,
which, however, contained ten or eleven duplicates for property
of some value. As soon as she recovered from her fright, she
Immediately set about stopping the duplicates, and though it was
near the hour at which pawnbrokers close business, she managed
to make one call for the purpose that evening. Mrs. Morgan was
stirring with the lark yesterday morning, and by a little after eight
o'clock, she was at Mr. Turner's, the pawnbroker, in Bridget-
street, Covent-Garden, where some of the property bad been
pledged. The thief had, however, been there before her, and re-
deemed some silver spoons, silver sugar-tongs, and sundry other
articles. This first disappointment served only to stimulate her
exertions, and she proceeded with all speed to another pawn-
broker, Mr. Page, in Long-acre. Here again the thief had been
before her, and redeemed a brooch, a ring, &c. Rightly judging
that the thief would make • his first appplications to the nearest
pawnbrokers, she had hastened thus early to the two places we
have mentioned, aud nos returned somewhat disheartened to
endeavour to stop such of the article* as had been pledged in her
more immediate neighbourhood. In passing through Great
Queen-street, on her road back, she overtook a man whose face
she recognised, or thought she recognised, as that of one of the
persons who had so hustled her on the Saturday evening. The
more she looked at him, the more convinced :he was of the fact.
She felt, however, that it would be of no use to charge him ter
der those circumstances, and made the best of her way to Mr.
Loveday's, pawnbroker, Gray's-Inn.lane-road. Here she told
her tale, and while in the act of pointing out the particular du-
plicates she wished to have stopped, one of them was produced
et the counter by a man whom she immediately recollectid to
be the individual whose appearance had streck her so fbrcibly in
Great Queen-street. A conversation ensued between them ih a
tone Which soon gathered a mob, and Blake and Phillips, two
constables of St. Pancras parish, who chanced to come by, ett
heating the circumstances, took the man into custody, conveyed
hint to a neighbouring public house, and on searching him she
articles redeemed that morning at Mr. Turner's and Mr. Page's,
together witk the lost pocket-hook, were found in his possession.
file constables accordingly conveyedittim to the Ilatton-Garden
Office, from whence, by the direction of the Magistrates, the
rubbery having been committed in the City, he was brought
before Mr. Alderman Cox, the Sitting Megiorate, at this JAM.'
•ffioom. Here he stated his name to be Edward S,akelhoint, and
that he kept an oyster-etall at the corner of Stonecutter-street,
Fleet-market. Ile acknowledged redeeming the property, and
accounted for the possession of the pocket-book by stating that
he found ft in hoert-tearket, late on &mislay evening. Sim
