in the "Pinion of the milt, that he was matched last night, at
the Castle Tavern, Holborn, with Ned Turner, for 100 guineas

Ipterest in the sporting world, as Martin, it is well known, is
considerably improved as a scientific pugilist. Three months
trainiugtis afiowed to Turner, who is " so much to pieces." that
he will reqqfie the invigorating air of the Welch mountains the
above time, at least, to gea all the iffy out of him. Turner is
not only confident about winning, but his backers are equally as
sanguine. The match 13 made,for Tuesday, the r,th of June,
aatd six to four the odds commenced with.

THE GAT-LICRT 3fATI AND COOPER.--Thill match is all " the
talk" amongst the amateurs,. and lots of blind have been sported
upon it in England, Ireland, and Scotland. Hickman asserts he
can wen it in a canter j but Cooper thinks he cannot win it at
all. The Gas-light max is decidedly the favourite, and two to one,

The nem black, that made Smith the waterman not only dance
a hornpipe without music, but absolutely run out of the ring at
the rate of twelve miles an hour, at Banstead Downs, on Satur-
day last, now stands so high in the opinion of the midis, that they
Intend Bkicley shall have another turn, without delay, against a
well-known "good one." The whisper is, that he will prove a
second Molineauk; but Seeto-boll says, Stop a bit, me must
creep before me can go." At all events, let him be pitted against
any one, he will prove a rare troublesome customer. Johnson is
in good hands at present. Richmond chap that the Ring is at
ail times strong enough in hand to keep a black servant, if they
will not have a black master ! No, no, no ! all the millers sal,
the Champion must be all over white!

Common Pleas, Dublin :--In a case of an assault which occur-
red at the late contested Election,' a prize-fighter named Dunn,
who was beaten by Reynolds, the Champion If the light might',
at the Crime last year, was examined for the defence. At the
conunencement of his cross-examination, he was asked by Mr.
Wittacs, if be had been lately at the Curagh? Witness," Yes,
Mr. Wallace, and *hewed more Dante there than you did in
Suckrille-strret."— After a pause, Mr. O'CoxNzi.r., who was en-
gaged on the same side with I%lr. Wixiascs, rose, and besought
the Court to protect Counsel from the insolence of witnesses,
to vindicate its own dignity, and preserve decorum. Lord NOR-
SUIT having auimaaverted in the severest terms upon the inso-
lent audacity of the witness, ordered him to be forthwith com-
mitted. The Sheriff accordingly attended, and conveyed Dunn.
to Newgate. Lord NORBURY also expressed a hope, that Mr.
WALLACE had not forgone the idea of prosecuting the individual
who bad committed so violent an outrage upon his person in
Sackville.strert, and recommended him strongly to follow it Up.
" My Lord," said Mr. WALLACE, " I hope your Lordship has
not given that advice from a suppoiition of its necessity. Never,
my Lord, will I abandon it, until the cause of justice is fully
avenged. I thank your Lordship for the advice, but I beg leave
to assure your Lordship, that it is perfectly consonant to my
own feelings and my stedfastly fixed determination."
