Here a voice sung out, " Hislup Sh ape and his pal for a butt-
tired." Cooper doffed his castor in :he air as a token of defiance to
Sharpe. Another voice sung out—" Cooper'can win It, if they
fight to-day, as there will he no time for consultation." The ring
was disorderly, and a Welsh main seemed to be at band. This was a
scrambling round also; hut it was evident to the good judges that
Page must win. The Clerkenweller fought with great gaiety; but
the smashing falls he received were enough to knock the wind out
of him. He was the best in-fighter, and until the twenty-eighth
round had a chance, and sometimes his lion heart gave him best ;
but in the last half hour he received much punishment, and Page
won in fifty-seven minutes, after much labour.

ALARMING FIRE AT BRENTFORD.—Sunday evening,
about seven o'clrck, the inhabitants of IN:I w Brentford
were greatly alarmed by a fire breaking out in the
house of Mr. Dwyer, chemist and druggist, opposite the
Church, which burnt with unabated Jury for about an
hour and a half, by which time, although the engines
arrive 2 immediately on the spot, the lioue, stock, and
furnitute were entirely destroyed, leaving no.hing
the bare walls. The fire then communicated to the ad-
j,)ining house, occupied by a Mr. Callk, broker and
undertaker, which was seriously injured. Fortunately
the whole of his property was saved, through the
prompt -assistance of the firemen. The above houses
and property have only been instned within the 1:.4..t
few weeks, since the laze fire at the Castle Tavern. •

A Meeting of the Inhabitants of Plymouth-Dock has
.been called, to receive the teport of the Committee ap.

ing the inhabitants not to listen to the adoption of any
other name than Port Royal.
