Mr. Holden. of Great Cambridge-street, Hackney-road, who
was charged with setting his house on fire on Senday. the 14th
instant, as stated in a fernier Paper, was brought up for re-exa-
mination, when the evidence preponderated so strongly in his
favour, added to the usesceprionahle character given him by Mr.
Barton, of Cornhill, In whose employ be had been fourteen years,
that the Magistrate expressed himself perfectly satisfied, and said
Mr. Holden might depart without the slightest imputation on his
character, in proof of w►ich the Agents of two Fire Offices de-
clared they were ready to erect assurance with him instantly.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Captain Power, of the Bth Battalion of the Royal Artillery, at
present doing duty in the Tower, accompanied by Major Eirinron,
the Resident Superintendent of. that fortress, carat to this Office,
and stated, that for some time past the men had been making com-
plaints of the bread furnished them, both as to its quality and
weight ; la consequence of which, be gave directions to the sergeant
to have a portion of it weighed, which, nit being done, it was dis-
covered that out of the small number of fourteen loaves, the deft-
ciency amounted to no less than 61b.—The bread was here pro-
duced, and was apparently of a very inferior description.
Mr. Weave, after referring to the Statute Book, said that he had
no jurisdktitio, fur that the only Act which bad given him a power
to inflict a penalty, namely, the Bakers' Act, expired two years since.
Capt. Power, however, was not without a remedy, fur on commu-
nicating the circumstance to the Ordnance, that Department might
proceed against the contractor, fur a breach of his engagements.

The fight for the Chinapionsblp of t6it Collieries, which babe"
Jong on the tales, and excited great intrreat amongst the fwicyin the
neighbouchnod of Bilston and datlaston, of which the men. doe
Burton and .Lrit Butler, art respectively the Champions, was to
have been fought no Litchfield 11,c...course, but in consequence .4
a hint thrown out that the beaks were likely to prove nither
...frontal/au on the occasion, it was decided to come off at Canoell
Gate. The field chosen was the wane in which Sampson and Hall
,fought ; the stake 501. the betting six to five on "
glory" (Butler), who, though be has had less experience and
success than " Bilstonk pride" (Burton), was conscious of victory
from superior strength. Burton has won the last el in no les that
nineteen successive battles. There was little or no variatisti in "

rounds. Burton almost uniformly struck first; and after me or
two attempts fur a second or third throw, dropped easi:y, shun,
times without a blow. Four or fire rounds however, was regn-
lar slashers, partieutally front the eighteenth to the tvreskt}-tii.d.
After the forty-fourth round, it became obvious that thato:i v.s

overmatched. lie continued, however, by peppering Me aittAgnnist
about the nob, gradually to change the aspect of the fight ; atttl
the fifty-shrsts round was the favourite—he had closed Ilutkr's
right eye, terribly disfigured his frontispiece, and, if he treld have
put in two or three facers, he world certainly have won the both;
hut the fortune of war was against bim, and it was decreed that the
Manton hero should' snatch the hard-earned, and hitherto ut.
tarnished laurels, fr in the brow of " lid/tun's Pride."
In the drib round Airier, who had been making a 0 waiting
race" of it, transmitted a smart 'lubber, which sent Burton rending;
and the dose being repeated before he fell, with improved energy,
a flew face was given to the affair. Burton, contrary to expe.t.r
tion, came to the scratch again ; but his strength and his fist now
totally failed him—it was like trying to crack a coctsamut with a
sponge. His seconds, seeing that Butler was a complete corm°.
rant,and would take a great deal inure than Burton was now attie
to give, resigned the battle in the sixty-third round, though against
the wink of their principal. It lasted one hour and minutes.
Although beaten, Burton proved himself, for his weight and
inches, quite as good a man as his opponent, who was at kart two
inches tiller, and Apparently heavier.—The fight excited great in-
terest, and was very numerously attended.
