Fidat BEtWEEN NED NEAL AND ilibt BURN.
Yesterday womb% the' turn out" of the Fancy was
extremely numerous, and the avenues leading to Staines
presented a singular succession of carriages of all sorts,
among which were several " fours,* which the heavy
state of the roads rendered absolutely necessary. • The
appointed distance was rather beyond the reach of the
commonplace toddlers; but still there were many game
enough upon '6 such a suit" to brave the fatigues of the
journey, and especially a fair sprinkle of Pallanders,
who were anxious to witness the anticipated triumph of
Neal, whom they recognised as a countryman, although
bora oo this side the herring brook.
The ring was formed with excellent judgment by Joe
Fsshwick and his aid-de-camps in good time, and by
twelve o'clock the assembled multitude was more nu-
merous, and we may say more respectable, than any we,
have witnessed for some months. The vicinity of
royalty, in fact, seemed to throw as aristocratic air over
the scene; and, if we mistake not, some of those who
occasionally breathe the same atmosphere with the King
himself honoured the spectacle with their presence.
Shortly before one o'clock Ned Neal and his cortege
entered the field in post chaises, and met with a hearty
reception. Jem Burn was not long behind, and at ten
minutes to one threw his castor into the ring, under the
guidance of Tom Belcher and Tom Cannon—the former
rather unexpectedly, as Bill Neat, from Bristol, wos ex-
pected to have performed the office of second, but did
not arrive in time. Neal was soars at the scratch, accom-
panied by Harry Holt and Joih Hudson; he went up
to Burn and shook bands with great good humour, and
preparations for business immediately commenced:
On stripping, Neal's skin appeared covered with scor-
butic blotches, as when he fought Cannon, but still his
flesh appeared firm; and there was a healthful and
cheerful glow in his countenance, which shewed that
" all was right," and that he had " that within which
passeth 'hew." Jem also looked extremely well, and
was evidently " nothing loth" for the commencement
of hostilities. Precisely at four minutes after one, Bel.
cher having one the toss for choice of position, the men
shook hands, and to it they went.

HATTON.OARDEN.

Yesterday, in consequence of the publicity given to the fact of an
immense quantity of jewellery, consisting of gold and silver watches,
trinkets of great yeast, gold ring% ata together wit► other pro.
party, such u lace, silks, and crapes, having been found at t►e
house of the wife of Ikey Soloman, in Pettleoat-lane, a vast
number of tradesman, who have recently been robbed, came to this
Office to see if they could identify any of the property thus strangely
brought to light. Among the number was a Mr. Jones, a pawn-
broker, who, on Saturday night last, wss robbed of 14 gold and
silver watches, gold rings, seals, brooches, /cc.
Limbrick, the Officer, in obedience to the orders of the Magis-
trates, took every pains to gratify the wishes of the various visitants
by an exposition, as far as practicable under present circumstances, of
the keterogenous mass of goal; but, limn their multiplicity
and variety, it was found impossible to give satisfaction, when this
day was appointed for a g I inspection, against which time the
goods were to be arranged in regular order. Three pieces of lace
arid a few articles of jewellery were, however, recognised by a
tradesman, whose name did not transpire, as his property, and
stolen from his house within the last week only. The bate coin
found upoa the premises of Mrs. Solomon', consisting entirely of j
sovereigns, amounted to 600.

To get at the base coin, watches, and trinkets, it was found be-
cestary to break up the ground floor. Of this cncurnstance Mrs.
&lumens takes advantage, and declares that she was totally igno-
rant of any property being concealed in her house until It was exhi-
bited by the officers; but among the watches thus found was one
actually going when Kithy, the °liter, took it into possession.

EIZCUTION.-Mqulyi, for the murder of Dennis
Curtin, was this day executed at the New Drop. He
spent the time since his condemnation almost in con-
stant prayer, and yesterday he was visited by his aged
parents, a,.d seemed to derive much consolation from
their visit. His father, rising superior to every natural
feeling, his anxiety for the eternal welfare of his child,
gave him such religious exhortation as astenirhed those
who heard him. He was 'measles? by the Rev. Mr.

scaffold deeply impressed with a sense of his situation.
and full in hope of t e merits of his Redeemer.

The spot on which this church now stands. together

Petet's,Westrrioster, and went by the name of" Con-
vent-Oarden ;" w hich place, at the dissolution of the
religious houses, in the reign of Henry VII!. devolved
to the crown. Edward VI. in 1547, conferred it upon
I Edward, Duke of Somerset, who, by his attainder,
caused it again to revert to the crown in 1552. King
Edward then gave the same, with a•field contiguous to
it,. called Seven Acres, but now known, by the street
standing on its site as Long Acre, to John, Earl of
Bedford, who immediately erected a mansion for his
own use on the ss: rib side of the Strand, and which
now forms the corner of Southampton-street : k was a
mean-looking wooden building, and stood till the year
1704. In 1640, Francis, Earl of Bedford. erected'a
very magnificent chapel for the accommodation of his
numerous tenants ; but in January, 1645, the precinct of
Covent-garden was, by an order of Parliament separated
from St. Martin-in-the-fields, and constituted into a
parish; but 'hit having been the act of an illegal power,
a new Act was obtained in 1660, which confirmed this
a distinct parish under its present appellation of Sr.
Paul's Covent-garden. The patronage was vested in
William, the then Duke of Bedford, and his heir and
assigns; the annual sum of one hundred pounds, issuing
from three houses in the square, was settled on the Rec-
tor, with a further provision to be raised by a pound
rate upon the houses, with the exception of Bedford-
house. The church, which derived its name from its
situation, and its dedication to St. Paul, the Apostle
having been destroyed by fire, the present neat edifice
was etected on its site, and was opened for public wor-
ship an the Ist day of August, 1798.

WRESTLING MATCH.

The Match at the Eagle Tavern. City.road, was concluded yes-
terday. The following triple players contended together—
Pyle and Finney—This bout lasted nearly an hour, and was well
contested throughout, and at length Finney was thrown. A dispute
arose as to whether or not it was a fair back fall ; the Umpires de-
cided that it was not, and the men again played, when Finney gave
his back to his opponent. . .

Howe and Tozer—Tlie match lasted a eery short time, and was
decided in favour of Toner.

Perdue and Tre•ick—The former was thrown.

Chappell and Copp—This match excited considerable interest
among the spectatota. Tin men are both well known good ones,
and each was determined not to give a clunie away. It was ad.
mirabty contested, and afforded a fine treat to the company. After
a severe struggle Cupp was declared the victor.
The quadruple play then commenced, when Pyle and Toner were
the fir►t to enter the ring. Tozer was thrown a heavy fall, which
hurt his shoulder so severely, that he was compelled to resign the
contest.

Larkins and C. pp—. This aria match of strength spinal science.
Copp was completely exhausted from his previous efforts, sad MIS
ultimately compelled to yield to the superior strength of his op-
ponent.. _ _

Treviek and Howard—Decided in favour of the former.

mer were matched together, and Pyle declared the conqueror.
The last bout for the grand prize was between Larkins and Pyle.
It washy this time so completely dark, that the movements of the
men could scarcely be seen. Pyle was declared the winner, and
the prises were thus distributed—Pyle. ten sovereigns; Larkins,
five sovereigns; and Treviek, three ditto. The losers were liberally
rewarded by a subscription rased among the spectators.

DRURY•LANE THEATRE.

A Meeting of the Renters was held yesterday in the
Saloon of the Theatre, for the purpose of transacting
business relative to the concerns of the House.
Mr. FALLOWFIELD, in the absence of Sir T. Tenon,
who was compelled to attend the Assizes at Croydon,
took the Chair.

The CHAIRMAN said, the first business was the elec-
tion of a Treasurer in the place of J. Snodgrass, Esq. re-
signed. After some discussion, Major Nayler was elected.
The CHAIRMAN said, in laying a statemeut of at.
counts before the renters, much did not devolve on the
Treasurers, as not a single shilling passed through their
hands. From the statement, it appeared that about
4,00 W. remained to be divided, and the usual dividend
would be in the course of payment at the bankers,
Mr. CARPENTIIII had some observations to make on
what had been said by Mr. Price, the Lessee, at the
Meeting of Proprietors a short time since. Mr. Price
was reported in the papers to have stated that he should
take steps for preventing the Renters from takiog seats,
as there were not less than 600 free admissions of this
sort. These Renters occupied a great portion of the
seats, Which ought to be thrown open to the public,
who paid for their accommodation. There were, how.
ever, but 300 Renters: it might be true there were 600
free admissions; but toe Renters, who had sunk large
sums of money for the g0,,c1 of the Theatre, ought not
Ito be placed on the same footing with free admissions.
f-fe hoped some explanation would be had from the
Lessee. The rights of the Renters were undoubted on
this subject.
The Cu atasrA NI said, he had drbwn up certain Reso.
solutions on the subject. He was well assured that their
rights were not to be questioned on this particular, and
he had a clause in the Act of Parliathent which fully
'bore him out. The Renters had nradi large sacrifices,
and not the least was 40,00 W. insurance money after
the late fire. The Resolutions, to the effect, that the
rights of the Renters were fully stated in the Dees{ of
1793, and that the Renters had the privilege of admit•
Lance to every part of the house, except certain privet°
boxes, &e. were carried, add ordered to be transmitted
ter the Cammaittee °Management. The blotting, tie*

di Romania the members of the Government were dis-
united, and the people discouraged. The confidence in
the enterprising spirit of Lord Cochrane was much
abated. His preceding operations had given rise to the
most singular reports which have a reference to his na-

These Papers,conteiq accounts from podia:est, dated
he 14th ultimo, announcing that a firma° of the Sine ,
TAN had been just published these, which restricted the i
,bsolute power of the HOSPoUAR, and subjeited the ad
ministration of the country to the deliberation of the Va-
li en (the first Boyars, If; in number, who fmm the
Prince's Council). It is expressly stated that, accordirq,
to the ancient customs of the Principal ty, the Hos
podar can execute nothing without the express appro.
bation of the B iyars. Prince GIIINA, the present
Hospodar, is said to be adverse to this arrange.
ment, and it is added that his Highness has been
tampering with the Council of Twelve, in order to
bring them over to his sentiments. The Prince, who,
for obvious reasons, is attached to the eaisting system,
grounds his resistance to the proposed change upon the
anarchy, to which he says it would inevitably lead ; but
neither his arguments, nor his intrigues, proved of any
avail, as the Bayer' declared unanimously that the
mandate of the SULTAN should be strictly obeyed.
—Fears, however, are expressed, that some disturb•
ances may arise in consequence of this marked col-
lision of opinion between the Hospodar and the Boyars,
in which case, the Tusks might enter on one side, and
the Russians on the other, fur the purpose of appeals•
ing them. However this is not the only cause of
anxiety to which the inhabitants of the province are
subject, as they have another, and a more tangible Os"
in the form of heavy contributions in corn, raised at the
urgent solicitation of the Pacha of Silisttia. This corn
is intended to provision the Turkish fortresses on the
Danube; and the poor peasantry are not only nompelled
to supply it, but transport it with emir own horses and
waggons to the banks of the Danube. Any change in
their situation would be assuredly for the better; and
in their hard lot, we have an admirable illustration of
the effects of Turkish protection. The following is an
extract from the Brussels Papers:—

It was expected that Redschid Pasha would turn his
arms against Acrocoriath, but he has just taken quite
an apposite direction, viz. towards Western Greece.
Same persons say he is going to Janina, to appease
some trouble, that have broken out there, and to levy
new troops, because, since he ha,lortified the citadel of
Athens, he has very tew to dispose'of; but it was morf
'likely that he is going to Misseloag4i to compel the
Greeks to submit, who are still in arms in Etolia and
Acarnania. Between the mountains of Hocopaes and
Aninos there is a great Plate iu, which may be kept by
a very small number of armed men, if they occupy the
defiles leading to i!. This Plateau is of pretty convi-
derable extent, its soil is very fertils,.and:thent are its-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

' GUILDHALL:

Mr. Simmond•, the Assistant Vestry Clerk of Cripplegate, ap-
peared with tire inquest of the Ward, to take the Magistrate's opi-
faun relative to a seizure they had made in the shop Ma baker, who
was not named. They found the scales accurate, and also the
wdgbts ; but,if the ilb. weight was put in the proper scale, it
would be balanced by placing only a Mb. loaf in the opposite one, in
consequence of some machinery concealed beneath the latter, which
was acted upon by merely throwing the weight in the weight scalp.
The difficulty was, that the weights and scales were in themselves
perfectly honest. The A I.DI IMAM at first suggested, the baker
should be brought before him, in custody, but afterwards recom-
mended that it should be first ascertained how be might best be
punished, whether by the general law, or some peculiar jurisdiction
attaching in the City, or to the inquest as a body.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

CROYDON, Aca. s.
Alexander Lambert s‘ as ind cted, under Lord Ellen-
borough's Act, for malici..thly cutting Jane Moore, at
Nut6eld, on the 14,h April, with intent to murder her.
It appeared in evidence, that the prosecutnx, who is
an elderly woman, keeps a huckster's shop at Nuffield,
in which village the prisoner seas a labourer. Abrut
half-past digit In the evening of the 14th of April, the
prosecutrix slaving closed her house for the nieht, the
prisoner came to her shop, and expressed a wish to pur-
chase a has. Some hats were skean him, and he se-
lected one. He tten wished to buy a glass rummer.
She took him to a store-nom at the back of the house,
an I sheaved him some glasses. He pointed to one which
stood ..n a shelf. and desired to see that. Whilst in the
act of reaching it down, he struck her two violent blows
on the back of the head ; and before she could recover
herself he struck her another blow on the forehead,
whichcut her to the bone. She then fell, and in her
fall she broke some earthenware. Her cries of murder
alarmed the prisoner, who immediately took to flight,
lea►ing his hat on the premises. The prisoner fled from
Nutfield, but was apprehended in a few days afterwards.
On examining the person of the prosecutrix, she was
found to have received metal dangerous bruises, and
on her forehead there was an extensive gash. ' In the
courtyard of her house was found, shortly after the ,
prisoner tan away, ad • instrument called a tame (part
of the collar of a cart.horse), composed of iron, •the
edges of which were capable of inftcting the wsuad on
the prosecutrix's forehead. On this instrument some
marks of b1,,0d u ere visible. No apparent motive for
this conduct coul4 be attributed to the prisoner, except
plunder, it being proved that about eight o'clock he
said to a man, to whom he owed 16s. that he would be
able to pay him soon alter people were gone to rest.—
On cross-examination, it was suggested that the psi-.
loner and the prosecutrix must have had a cinatretrand
that she had knocked his hat off. It was also suggested
that the wound on the forehead might have seen ocCa•
sinned by her falling upon some broken earthenware.
The prisoner, who appeared to have borne a good
ch trader previous to this transaction, strongly denied
his guilt, but called no witnesses.
The Learned Jurroe summed up the case to the Jury,
and they found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence of Dena was passed upon him. Both the
Jury and the prosecutrix strongly recommended that
his life should be spared.

Al A NCti'li.s 11ZU, Ft_a.

Between ten and eleven o'clock on Saturday night.
as a person named Smith was passing into St. George%
Fields, he was beset by four men, who, flinging him
down, stopped his mouth, and proceeded to idle his
pockets. He struggled very bard, and endeavoured to
prevent the man who was upon him from forcing
his hand into his breeches pocket. The fellow cried to
his companions, with an oath, " Lay it into him, I can't
.get into his pocket." The men then kicked hhn in a
very savage manner, and he struggled the harder to
prevent the fellow from robbing ha. At length, get-
ting his mouth from under the hand of the ruffian who
stepped' it, be cried out " Murder!" as loud as he
could, when a man of the name of Jobn Collinson came
:to his assistance, and seized the villain, who lay upon
,him; the remainder of the robbers made a precipitate
retreat, carrying with them his bat. The prisoner,
whose name is Robert Hardy, was conveyed to theNeer
Bailey, and on Monday brought before the Sitting Ma-
,gistrate, J. F. Foster, Esq. who fully committed him
for trial. Mr. Smith stated, that he had about 15..
in his breeches pocket, which the prisoner was unable to
get bold of, in conseq,uence of his (Mr. Smith's) strug-
gling, and the pocket being fastened with a large button.
—About half-past eleven o'clock on the same night, a
man who keeps carts was passing along Ttb-street, nest
the Sbudehill market, when he was suddenly knocked
down by a blow myth, back of his neck, and Mybat tell
off. &m ay recovering himself, he b.:waddle helves
attacked by six or seven yoong men, who polled up his
'frock and endeavoured to force their hands into his
pockets. A private watchman, however, coming up,
the fellows ran off, but the carter pursued them, and
succeeded in securing one of them, *hem he delivered
into the costody of the watehman. His name is Ben-
' jitnin Bevill. The prisoner was blittegbt before the
sitting Magistrate at the New Bailey en Monday morn
ing, when the carter swore positively that he was OW
of the men who attacked hint, and leaking at the:gal-
lery of the Court, he said he saw another of the men.
The moment he uttered these words, a young man was
seen to move rapidly amongst thetrowd. apparently en-
deavouring to make his escape; the o*cers, however, ,
sprang toward the gallery, and hec ur sig the man, placed
hien at the bar. He said that his name was Moats
Carroll. The carter was positive that he was the man'
who snuck him on the back of the neck. The private'
watchman also proved that be was one of she men who I
attacked the carter. The transaction took place under
a lamp, snd he saw him distinctly as he was coming up
to the carter's assistance. The prisoners were remanded
till the following day (Tuesday). when they were again
brought op. It appeared that the prosecutor had been
induced by the friends of the prisoners not to appear;
'the Magistrate, however, committed them both to a
month's imp isonment and hard labour for attempting
to commit a robbery.—Mancliesier Courier.
