SPARRING.
Fzvzs Corm—Yesterday, Summon, denominated the t 2:,
mingham Youth, took his first Benefit -at this place. If ^(t
very numerous, the muster of amateurs was very respecitl.,
The sets-to, upon the whOle, came under the minor elms c: ;z:
lent. The ;lashing young (;ipsy (brother to the tretuendeu . *r•
of the bush) had a sntoll taste of Curtis': quality; the lam: 14
hailed as a " pretty boy," and the Gipsy had none the bt-;
it. The character of the bout was downright mining.
The Sprig of Myrtle and G04.14;ce used the pepper-box.
Burke wail Acton.—The latter, a papn of Ealer,
some of Ilia master's scientific traits.

Harris awl Dmods.—This bout was worth looking at! 14
Dowdy was rather too active for the nub of his opponent.
Oliver and Larkin treated the amateurs with a fine display cf
the science. The stopping, on both sides, was eacelleut.—La:;:
is highly improved.

Spring, Eales, Owen, Cribb, Randall, Belcher,
Belasco, Scroggins, and Holt, were present, but did net
Josh. Hudson, Smith, at,d Spencer, shofar' upon Ois
but the well, Williams, had not sufficiently recoverel irerr.
bruises, to put in" an arparranw."
_ •
Sampson and Turin, r gave the tie op. The etit.and-ciaer
the youth to his work, which produced thunders of ap.iave—
Sampson returned thanks, and the Court was clear‘d in Vit
twinkling of an egte.

Richmond's new black, MEnekn, was in Court, peering at -11
the milling coves, but his master 'said, " he must rot go te.w:i,.
yet awhile; he, however, should have the office when a good
was ready far him."—" Very well. Massa, me work hard, whiu
you tell me."

Prince ESTERHAZY is on a shooting visit to Fr

Poracx COURT, EDINBURMT.—A case of a very
unusual nature came before the Court on Tuesday
se night. • Some sailors, who had been dif.cliargeJ
from the NIL NDEX, at Portsmouth, having reached
Edinburgh a few days ago, agreed to takea trip along
some of the principal streets in a hankaey-coach.
They accordingly embarked, and had proceed4d
far that the coachman deemed it necessary to desten&
for the purpose of receiving fresh instructions. lb
seat, however, was immediately supplied by one of
the passengers, .who darted through one of the wins
dews, when the horses were made to fly like light-
ning from before the eyes of the wondering coachman.
Having proceeded with the greatest possible speed
after his vehicle, he was in time to discover it at a.
distance, overset, in the endeavour to lead it up
to the fine broad flag stones in Picardy-place. lie
was also fortunate enough, soon after, so seize one cf
the sailors with his whip in his hand, and this man
was now brought to the bar of the Court. He had
little to say for himself—he had merely, he said,
sprung out at. the hatchway when he found the vessel
oversetting. He was fined 20s. for the share he had
taken in this affair. It was resolved however to re-
mit the fine, on account of some circumstances, and
he was called back to-the bar, but it was discovered
that the money had been at oncepald, and he gone.
MURDER.—Tuesday se'nnight, the following bar-
barous murder *as committed at a place called Mo-
gan Highway, in Cornwall was observed on the'
Wednesday morning, thnt•the house .42 man named
Simon Rogers, who lined Arnie; was not opened at
the usual time, and at length an entrance *as effected, '
when the unhappy man was found dead in his bed,
under which were some sheaves of reed (straw used
for thatching, &c.), partly hunted, and which had
been placed there evidently for the purpose of setting
fire to the bed and the house, in order to-cOosume
the body, and conceal the horrid. deed. Happily, we
trust, for the purposes of justice, the ruffians by slat-
ting the door prevented the access of air, and cued •
the fire to go out. On exainining thebody, it -*as
found that a sharp instrument had been.firee4 jai°
the mouth and down thealisoat,- so as oti --(raise the'.
death of the unfortunate man. The house was rifled ;
but the chief object of the villains was a ntiMber of
guineas,-which the deceased was well *flown. to keep •
by him, and which' he was in thehabit of known,
' and boasting of whenever he drank fteely, which he
sometimes did. Every .exertion is mating to discover
the perpetrators, who must have betn will acquainted
with the habits of the deceased.
IMPARTIAL Leimarv.-4 Akre* tradesman, who
thought during the late illuminations, of hitting on
a plan of pkasimg•all sides, exhibited 'a design in
transparency, having- the King on one side, and the
Queen on the other, in bold relief of colour. “ There,"
says the vain shopkeeper, .g there's the King and Queen
in beautiful contrast ; and this I call being neither
partial for impartial!' •
