• BOXERS.

Neat and lion-hearted Richman, attended by that able tacti-
cian Cy. Davis, with Sandy Parsons, and oth..rs of minor note,
have, within these few days, been skewing off in Bristol in good
style. The benefits have been well attended. The sums rr-
ceived at the doors are said to exceed £l2O. This is really good
interest for their 'ICUs of land.
PEDESTRIANISM.
The dispute on Martin the boxer's foot-race, or rather the
wrangle, is decided as having been lost, and the betters on time
have won. Martin engaged to do 20 miles in three hours, but
he did not go over the whole of his ground, as was distinctly
proved, and the backer against Lim has received the stake.

Tuesday night last, James Keys, a grenadier of the 10th Re-
giment, whilst dnieg duty in the Gun-wharf, Deck, Plymouth,
walked out of the guard-room, and unfortunately fell into the
basin, and was drowned. His body was picked up the neat den.
The poor fellow would have been discharged in a few sleets, and
was pass sae I n` a decent property.
Meanze us Miss. EP)NAlTY.—Saturdny the investigation cf
this affair was resumed by Mr. Mtvsetree, in his private room
at flow-street. Nuthieg further tianspired to corroborate the
suspicions which lied led to the appreheneion of the parties in
cestedy. Mr. 3ltesttere. asked Askew if he wished to say any
thing? Askew—" I have only this to say, Sir, that lam per-
fect; innocent of this di eniful crime. I never was a thi. for a
mut doter, though I have heels very poor. I have been iii any
master's house, where there has been a thousand pote.:42.s worth
of property, and never touched a thing." Mr. Cousin his for-
mer employer, said he believed h'm to be a very honest man.—
All the prisoners were then brought in. and Mr. NIIN.,MA !., ad-
dressing them, slid he wished he cnn'd, consierently with !.'s
ditty, discharge them ; but at present he could no:. A most hog-
rid and barbarous murder had been committed, and it we; abe•-
lutely necessary for the public safsty that the inv.:edged-ea
should he conducted with extreme vigilance, and even, pullers
with some degree of severity to ihe persons accused. Ile mutt
keep them, therefore, for the present; but he would endeavour
to free them as much as possible from personal it.convenience cr
suffering.
Saturday Inn. Gregory was put publicly to the bar at Hatton-
Garden, tor the purpose of his being identified, if possible, by
Mrs. Robinson, who had obeerved a man loitering about Mrs.
Donatty's dour on the night of the murder. Mts. Robinson
could not sty diet the prisoner was the individual, and his fur-
ther examination was not entered into until helf-pest two o'clock.
At that bout. Mr. Cenunons, t f the public-guise next door to
that of the dereantd, and othtr who( sete, were examined as to
the prisoner's being the individual seen in Robert-street, but
none of thelll coal speak to his person. Mary and fi'dzaheth
Brown were also examined, and w inlesse.; forward re-
specting them, but nothing of a cii:nnal nature appeared to be
made out against them ; and as the three prisoners most satis-
factorily accounted for themselves .eluring the eight upon which
Mts. Dottatty was nundered, they were discliere-ed befor.: eight
o'clock at night.
EXECUTll2o.—Sayward, who was convicted at the Chelmsford
Assizes, for the murder of John Ball ;rd, and whose trial appeared
in the STAR of last Monday, was oe that day executed. Ni.t.
withstanding the hardy and impertinent appearance of Otis nen
during his trial, he evinced much sorrow for the offence from
that time until the hour of his execution ; forgiving his prosecu-
tors, and acknowledging the justice of his seetence. Ile was
only 94 years of age. The body was conveyed to Ctlchester Hos-
pital for dissection.
Saturday, Charles Smith, aged 29, was executed at Winchester,
for shooting at R. Saellgrove, gamekeeper to Lord PALIMRSTON.
Great exertions were Jennie to procure a remiseion of the'sen-
tence, but the unfortunate man himself entertained no hope of
mercy, and he suffered with becoming fortitude and resignation.
The inhabitants of this neighbourhood have within a few days,
witnessed the execution of two fine young men, and the tranr-
portation of five others—and it is hoped it will prove a salutary
check not only to the stealers, bet to the purchasers of game.
At Stafford Assizes t'ic trial of J. Plan, 7'. narisal!, W. Bari-
sal!, 7'honatas iblnact;, Warr. Harris, J. Meek, and .7.'retaitui Bcherts,
for the murder of Cooke, the watchman, of Wolverhampton,
terminated between six and seven o'clock on Tuesday night,
when the Jut y, after an hour and a quarter's deliberation, de-
livered a verdict of guilty against all the prisoners except Mc ale.
Coicet Exeneeee, Menet-wiz, Meactt 25.—Our market wes
well supplied with Wheat, fresh in this morning, from Eseex and
Kent, exclusive of a large quantity which remained over front
previous arrivals, which met heavy sale, except for sun, dire
samples, which obtained last Monday's prices; but all other c'e-
seriptions are 2s. per quarter cheaper. We had a liberal sin',
of Barley to-day from Suffolk, but the demand being sleek the
sales were heavy at a decline of full Is. per quarter. The O.;
trade was dell and rather lower, even for the finest qualities.
