A foot-race was yesterday morning decided for
ten guineas, in Hyde Park, between a man of the
name of Nicuot sup, a bootcloser, and a Gentle-
man's groom, of the name of GINGER. The panics
started from Grosvenor-gate, to run the distance of
100 yards, when the boot closer being a light-heeled
Mercury, beat his opponent hollow ; he was cheered
in triumph. A great concourse of persons were is..
sembled, and many bets were staked by the know-
ing ones;
Boxixo. —The best contested pitched battle which
has occurred for a length of time, took place on Thurs-
day on Willsdon Green, between lifehby and Hee,
Harmer, a relation of Belcher. The seconds were '
Richmond and Belcher for Harmer, and 'l'. Jon,*
for Maltby. The bittle continued 57 minutes, int
which fifteen rounds were fough►. Harmer always
kept the lead, by a quickness of hitting which kept his
antagonist in a state of stupor. Maltby contested the
battle under the disadvantages of fast fighting, with
the utmost good temrer and manhood 'mil the TT
minutes had expired, when time obliged him to yield
under severe sufferings, and he was carried out of the
ring by his seconds. Another battle of a minor de-
scription was fought, and the sports of the day ended
with badgering a bull for a siiver dog-collar.

A letter from Gibraltar, dated May 23, says,
g, We understand there is a considerable stir in the
articles of colonial produce in Matta.

Wednesday morning a detachment of the sth
dragoon guards, consisting of one subaltern, one non-
cotnmissioned officer, 14 privates, and 40 horses,
marched from Canterbury for Portsmruth, there to
embark to join their brethren in arms on the Penin-
sula. They are to be followed in a few days by dc•

The damage sustained by the late tremendous fire
in Plymouth Dock-yard is now estimated at ie25,000.
A severe investigation has been set on foot by the
Magistrates, Commissioner Fanshaw. the Naval So-
licitor, &c. and the watchmen and military centinels
have all been examined on oath ; but it cannot be
ascertained whether the building was fired by over-
heated hemp, by lightning, or by incendiaries.
About 950 feet of the Rope-house are irretrievably
destroyed, with a considerable quantity of hemp?
and with great damage to some valuable machines y
for twisting cables.
A fatal and unaccountable accident happened in
Grimsby Roads, on Thursday se'nnight, about noon.
Whilst the Revenue cutter Repulse, Captain Mason,
was lying at anchor in the above Roads, the Captain
being un the after-part of the deck, and six men sit-
ting on the fore-part at work, Captain Mason stid-
denly became missing : an inquiry was made, whe.
ther he had gone below • the cabin was looked into,
and every place examined where he was likely to be,
but he could not be found. On 'flaking out, how-
ever, one of the men saw something fluting on the
surface of the water, at the distance of about 150
yards from the cutter—a boat was immediately put
off, and it was found to be the Captain's hat. The
unfortunate Gentleman, it was clear, therefore, had
gone overboard (and must have sunk immediately),
but how, or in what manner, is unknown, His body
was dragged for very carefully, but had not been
fciand on Sunday.
Mr. W. LIGHTON, a farmer at Wyberton,•Lin-
colnshire,.last week lost a valuable caw, in eons..
quence of the following extraordinary circumstance :
Two cows belonging to him, which were feeding in
a pasture near West Skirbeck Hall, so entangled
themselves in each other's horns, that their mutual
efforts to get free proving ineffectual, no help being
at hand, one of• them in its efforts to this effect,
drove its born into the eye of the other, piercing
the skull to the depth of several inches. In this
shocking situation of extreme torture to the one, and
entanglement to the other, it it conjectured they must
have remained a considerable time. They atere at
length observed, from the singularity of their situa-
tion, and relief afforded ; but this could only be done
by sawing asunder the hcan of the cow which !sal
