thrown.- Proviona be this the Ring had been I.rolted in, and the
crowd pressed close round the ropes. In this situation %Tarim-
possible to form a just Idea of the merits of the men. It appeared
that Barney clearly had the advantage both in strength and severity
of hitting. Mathewson was nearly choked with the blood which
flew from his threat % and the general belief was, that the Jew must
certainly win. Mathewson, however, was game to the last, and
having suddenly thrown the blood from his stomach, he revived,
and fought with renewed energy. The odds in favour of the Jew
now gradually diminished, and in the six rounds which followed,
Mathewson was evidently improved, and the shouts of the Sheenier
subsided accordingly. At last, in the 56th round, which was one
of long continuance and desperate exertion, Mathewson, who fought
with unexampled courage, caught Barney with a tremendous hit
on the throat, and floored him with the rapidity of lightning—those
who were a short distance from the Ring were incapable of judging
of the effect of this blow ; but the sudden shouts from the friends
of Mathewson soon convinced them that the change was as singular
as it was unexpected; in fact, Barney was hit out of time, and was
unable again to come to the swatch; Mathewson was of course de-
clared the winner, and was assisted out of the Ring. Barney was
perfectly senseless, and for some time did not recover the effects''
of this last visitation to his thorax, and was conveyed to his chaise.

REMARKS.
Barney Aaron was decidedly the best fighter. Braver men
never pulled shirts off, and five guineas to five shillings were twice
betted and lost in the ring. Mathewson was blind with the left
eye in the early part of the fight, and he first shewed symptoms of
want of training. But there was a denial to yield, and he fought
up bill bravely, and scarified his adversary's head upon terms ad-
vantageous. Chance was at last the in-go, and Mathewson won it
by a hit upon the throat. which dorsed his adversary. Mathewson
woo the kin by kitting out at last with the left hand.
WARD AND SAMPSON.

These men next catered the ring. They fought for one hun-
dred pounds a-side; and, from their consequence in the Pugilistic
School, it was anticipated that their efforts would have afforded
general satisfaction. The odds were In favour of Ward tive to
four, but in consequence of certain recollections to which it is now
unnecessary to advert, the betting was not very extensive. On
coming to the scratch, both men sliewed excellent condition, Samp-
son appearing much larger than his opponent. Sampson was at-
tended by Harmer and Belasco ; Ward, by Oliver and Owen. It
would be tedious to follow these men through the twenty-five
rounds which they fought, because throughout there was but the
one result, viz. the clear and unquestionable superiority of Ward
over his opponent ; Sampson, from the first round, chewed his ap-
prehensions of the superior tactics of Ward, and frequently threw
himelf down to avoid punishment. His tears were nut groundless,
Cur in eery round he was severely punished, and in the end scarcely
made any return worth mentioning, Ward having received but two
blows of any importance. Sampson was dreadfully peppered both
on the head and body, and in fifty minutes cried enveqpi. Ward
scarcely received a crotch, and proved, that if he had but honesty
un his side, there are few men in the I'. It. who could cope with
him, either as to science or effective operation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

-.~-

110 W-STREET.

T. Raton, a young man, in the dress usually worn by horse
dealers, was brought up for final examination. charged with steal-
ing a horse and harness, the property of Mr. Bates, a livery-stable-
keeper, in Ratcliffe Ilighway, and a gig, the property of a trades-
man named Cobb of Bakers'-row, Whitechapel.
Si:- R. llieste was ut opinion that this case was exactly similar
to that of the celebrated Major Semple, who having hired a horse
and gig for a day, sold it, and applied the money to his own use.
This was held to be a felony, and he was transported.—The pri-
soner was fully committed to Sewgate for trial
!lace:see Coacuasern—The drivers of two hackney-coaches were
summoned to answer the complaint of Mr. Hesse, the Solicitor to
the Lottery Office at Somerset House, for refusing to take a fare,
when legally required to do so.
Mr. Ilene had a party at his house on the dreadfully rainy night
of Frid:y sennight, and between eleven and twelve o'clock be sent
his footman to procure coaches to convey his triends to their homes.
The servant went to the stand in Charles-street, Covent Garden,
where he found seven or eight coaches disengaged, but not one
coachman could he find who was willing to go with him. One of
the drivers said he was engaged, and would not stir an itr:b ; and
the other, whom the servant had watched setting down a fare, and
coming on to the stand empty, swore that he only came there to
water his horses, and that he was engaged. Ile drove off the stand,
and in a few minutes returned, when the servant again spoke to him,
and received the former answer, that he had only come to water his
horses. The Waterman of the stand brought a pail, but the horses
did not drink one drop. Jarvis again drove away, and shortly after
returned once more to the stand.--64 Well,' said the complainant's
servant, "are you come to water your horses now?" " Yes,
S'reency, I am," replied Jarvis, and drew his coach up to the side of
!tue street, refusing to stir from the spot. The poor footman, after
being exposed to. waking rain for two hours, was obliged to return
without a coach, and Mr. Hesse was under the necessity of making
up beds for his friends.
Both the coachmen declared that the story of the footman was
all false.

thie defendant was fined 10s. and 4s. costs, and the other was
ordered to pay double that amount. Ile said he would not pay it.
Sir liteusun BIILNIE then directed that he should be committed
to the House of Correction for 21 days.

11AIII.1;011OUGH-STRF.ET.

Jonathan Thiery, a footman, and William Lunn**, a coachman,
both in the service of N. M. Rothschild, Esq. were charged at this
office, the former with assaulting Wales and Ballard, two officers
of this establiAment, in the execution of their duty, and the latter
under the Highway Act, with blocking up the public way.
The officers stated that a few nights ago they were directed to
attend at the Argyll Rooms, to keep order and regulate the carriages
of a vast number of fashionables who attended the Annual Juvenile
Ball held at these Rooms; and when the company were retiring,
and the carriages drawing up to the door in regular succession, the
defendant Lowndes drove Mr. Rothschild's carriage out of the line,
and endeavoured to force it forward to the dour out of its turn, and
when the officers attempted to stop hint and put him back, the de.
fendant Bailey seized the horses' heads, dragged them forward, and
when the offiCers interfered to prevent hint, he assaulted them both
in a furious manner, and it was with difficulty they secured him.
The defendants said that they had no defence to make, but that
they considered themselves justified in getting their master's carriage
up to the door as soon as they could.
The Magistrate said, that the constant misconduct of servants of
late at these public places in defiance of the many warnings they had
received, made it almost useless to address anything to them in the
way of admonition; but he could only say, that wherever be had
an opportunity of doing so he should t igidly enforce the law against
such offenders. hi the present instance, the defendant Bailey must
find bail for the assaults on the two officers, and the coachman
must pay a fine of 10s. for obstructing the public way.
