PUGILISM AT NORWICIL
In consequqnce of the storm having separated the amateurs
rather in a hairy, at North Walsbans, on Monday last, at the
d 0,,, of N'arti.2 knd the Birmingham youth's battle; and the
fancy having recovered themselves a little from the drowning
effects of the " pitiless storm," they had experienced, a m;vies
of the name of Ited3reaves offered himself to the notice of a
London civil, for a tun:-up w.th Dick. It was thought Red-
greaves was a Yokel, but upon further scrutiny, it turned out
that he was a Cierketoceller, and like some others of the milling
tribe, fancied he could fight, and was determined to chance it.
Did-, always ready to improve hbrcircornstances, did not value
giving a few pounds hi weight to his opponent, and accordingly
this haul took place in an elegant room, by candlelight, where
only a choice C.v., were admitted, and who likeivise tipped to
make up.theperse. At eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, Dick
stripped, and Randall and Shelton took him under their especial
care ; and Uedgreaves was Well attended by Purcell And O'Don-
nell. rounds were well .contested in sixteen Minutes,
and Redgreaves proved himself a troublesome customer, and a
very hard hitter. Dick went down several tithes, but in the
lith round he gave Redgreaves a blow n-la-aregson, in the wind.
mnik2i, which so altered the scene, that Randall offered 100
guineas to a crown • the three remaining rounds were won off
hand by Dick. The well-breech'd Y his pronounced it a most
manly fight, but Dick received so severe a blow on the ribs,
that a swelling as big a roll arose instantly.

JOSHUA HUDSON AND DELASCO.
Some little misunderstanding having occurred between the
above old opponents at Gurney's Dowling-green, over a glass of
Sherry, the charms of a purse soon pu't all quarrelling acid. I
and which was the best man was speedily decided upon an ele-
gant Torf:ey carpet ! Spring supported the claims of Josh.
lludson ; and the Master of the 114.414 gave his assistance to the
scientific Israelite. Thirty-five rounds were jontested in the
most spirited manner, occupying upwards of forty minutes.—
Hudson was terribly punished about the head ; but such was
his determined courage, that although his shoulder went two or
three times,. and was replaced by Spring, yet he insisted on re-
newing the battle, and continued to fight, till Banco observed
that they were both weak, and the purse was of too trifling a
nature to contend for any longer, but that he would fight Hud-
son for £l9O in London, at any time the latter should appoint.
Belasco, in point of time, won the fight, as he waited upwards
of one minute while the shoulder of Hudson was reduced. The
Birtninglinin Yaut:i gave his bets, tWo guineas, as did Spring, one
guinea, to Hudson. Delasco received di dreadful hit upon his
right eye.
Noantrar.—The present week has been a rare scene of fun,
frolic, and betting among the fancy; and it has also come of
right to the coniary cokes, as the great main of cocks, fought be•
tween London and Norwich, has been won by the atter. The
Lotodotaces are all in it, and puckers to let, has been the distill•
guishing feature with the Cyclades.

Oliver were up the next morning, as early as six o'clock, after
their battle, so light were the effect' of their inaniskinesit.
Ten guineas aside Were put down for a match between tile
Gas-I4kt Man and Spring.

The trial of Nesbett, the supposed murderer of Mr.
PARKER and his housekeeper atWoolwich, is expected
to come on at Maidstone on the 28th instant. There
are 26 witnesses for the prosecution, and the trial is
expected to cause even more interest than that of the
murderer Hussey..Nesbett. appears remarkably cheer.-

in his cell to watch him night and day, and he has a

A question came before the Ecclesiastical Court at
York, last week, which is of considerable importance
to the members of the Established Church. The case
was, " Daniel Holy and others v. the Rev. T. Cots
terili, Minister of St. Paul's Church, Sheffield." The
allegation was for acting contrary to the Rules of
Winship of the Church of England, in introducing
book of metrical Psalms and hymns not authorised
by the Book of Common Prayer. After Mr. !sitcom:
had been heard against the practice of introducing
metrical Psalms and Hymns, except such as appear
in the Prayer Book, and Mr. SINCLAIR had replied,
Mr. VERNON (IF.O Commissary) said, it was a very Im-
portant question, and he should take time before he
pronounced upon it. Thete was, perhaps, not a
Clergyman in the kingdom who had not-violated the
law, if Mr. Cotterill had dote so; and nothing had
been said to satisfy his mind, that, if thisselection was
i:legal, those of Tate and Brady, and Sternhold and
Hopkins, were not equally so. He conceived the
selection entitled to much praise ; but if there were
any particular passages objectionable, he was sure
the Clergyman would not wish to press them. " The
Archbishop," said Mr. Vernon, " would be happy to
act as a mediator between the parties; and I think it
Would be much for the cause of religion that a com-
promise should take place."

BREACII OF PROMISE OF Martatams.--Saturday,
the Special Jury cause, " Stevens v. Staveley," came
on before Mr. Jul tice Itiettaanson, at Oxford..
Mr. Taus Ton stated, that the action was brought by
the plaintiff, a most respeetable.young Lady, for the
breAch of a promise of marriage, made to her by the
defendant, and rather for the purpose. of vindicating
heccharacter, than of obtaining a pecuniary com-
pensation; that an arrangement had been made,
equally-honourable to both parties; and he was there-
fore happy to say, that it would' be unnecessary for
him to occupy the time of the Court by entering into
a further statement of the circumstances of the case.
Mr. Jenets said, that•he thought it right to trouble
the Jury with a few obseivations on the part of the
defendant. He stated that the defendant was a stu-
dent at University College, and that the pl*ntiff was
a young lady of great personal beauty and consider-
able accomplishments. That an attachment had been
formed between them, and an engagement entered
into by the defendant, which, on account of his
youth, it would have been imprudent in him to
fulfil ; and that it had been broken off in conse-
quence of his father objecting to his marrying at all
until he had completed his education and become
settled in life. That it was equally due to the honour
of the defendant as to that of the plaintiff, to state,
thilftio imputation whatever rested upon ber charac•
terdr conduct, and that no such sentiment had ever
been entertained liy the defendant or his friends...—
The verdict (asentezed by the consent of the parties)
Was for the plaintiff—Damages L'2lo,teitiroid costs.
