THEATRICAL SUPPER.

After the performances at Covent Garden Theatre,
- on Tuesday night, the stage was converted into a
splendid saloon, richly furnished and brilliantly light-
ed up with lustres; and a splendid supper, provided
by the Piazza Coffee•house, was laid out in the most
sumptuous style. horn the rapidity of the transi-
tion, it looked like the work of magic. Mr. KESIBLE
took the chair at the head of the table, with Mks
O'NEILL on his right and Mr. JONES on his left. Mr.
FAWCETT sat at the foot of the table, and all the rest
of the Theatrical Corps whom Garrieh's Jubilee had
called into action graced the side 9.
After supper, Mr. KEMBLE. gave as a toast—
" The Memory of Shakespeare."
which was drank with grateful enthusiasm.

_
Mr. FAweirrT then gave—
The Proprietors of Covent-Garden Theatre, and permanent
to the unanimity which so happily subsists between them and the
Performers."
KEMBLE, in returning thanks on behalf of him-
self and the other Proprietors, stated, that it was their
wish and eesire, as well as their interest to promote
this harmony, in the subsistence of which they should
always feel proud and happy.
fdr. KENIELE theo gave—
,* The memory of Garrick, a man who foura the Stage at a I
Sew ebb, but lad rased Its lame by his talents in pubhc, and
'be rorci:anlity t f the profession by his private character and
oorluct."
Mr. FasvcrrT, in acknowledging the justice of the
complimert p yid to Garrick, observed, that there vas
another individual not less entitled to the gratitude
of the Profession, for the splendour which she bad
crown around it, both on and off the stage. He con-
cluded with giving—.
" The Health of Mrs. Siddons."
Mr. KEMBLE, in returning thanks for the honour
done to his relative, assured the company, that from
his knowledge of her feelings, nothing could afford
her higher delight than the report which it would be.
in his power to make to her of the high compliment
paid to her that night.
Mr. KEMBLE then gave-
4, The Ladies who had honoured thetas with their presence."—
(Drank with rapture.)
Mi's. DAVENpoier returned thanks on behalf of her.
self and her female friends in an appropriate speech.
Several Catches and Glees, including, 66 Where
the bee sucks," were sung by Mrs. Liston, Miss
'MATTHEWS, Miss HCGUES, Messrs. SINCLAIR, DURV-
SET. TAYLOR, &C.
The festivities of the night were prolonged with
great spirit till a late hour. It was two o'clock in
the morning before Mr. ICENtime left the Chair. He
appeared to enjoy full health and an uninterrupted
flow of spirits, notwithstanding the previous exertions
which he had undergone in the arduous part of Co.
riglanut, and the bustle of changing his costume fur
Cardinal Warty in the Jubilee.

BOXING.

The match betweei Carter and RoMierea the Black,
was decided yesterday on Moulsyliurst, in the pre-
sence of at least 20,000 spectators, in a 20 feet roped
square. It was for a
.stake of 50 guineas, and a
subscription purse of 25. The Black had become
formidable by winning a hard-fought battle, a few
weeks since, against Butcher, the Navigator, who.
beat Ford eailsy on Twickenham Common, and from
the manner of his display on that occasion he had
many admirers. But it was overlooked that Butcher
was an unskilful pugilist; like Gregsoit, who fought
a sack of/our previously to his combat at Newmarket,
to get bun the gift of hitting his then formidable op. I
ponent ; the sack received quietly, whilst his rival
turned ratty. Carter eras a known scientific pugilist,
and his friends anticipating, if not an easy conquest,
at least a win, he was backed at from 2 and 3 to 1;
fir in many instances the latter odds were bet to get
money badly laid off, yet 2 to 1 was the average
betting on Carter. At one the men threw their hats
into the ring, and stripped. Seconds—Painter and
Harry Harmer for Carter, and Paddington Jones and
Richard lifhels for the Black.
Round I. Carter gathered himself on to distance, and planted
a left-handed blow on the mouth, and broke away. The /Mask
endeavoured to return with the sight hand, and was met
again with the left in the face, and in a close thaftek was
thrown, and skewed first blood at the mouth.-5 to II:1013 to
, on Carter.
2. Carter hit his adversary two left.handed blows Otr else heaor
again, as in the first ruuna. The Black followed, snaking falls
hits impetuously round the ring, Carter making a break% 3it4l*,
•ceiv!ng him left and right. The black ultimately put to a good
body blow, and Carter went down under the ropes in a dual,
which followed after the hit —Betting as at setting-to.
3 he Black received the two let-handed hits again. as in
the preceding round. and kis face was scored after the manner
of tiiir appearance of pork for cooking. He ran wild round the
ring, and was thrown, after planting a body blow with tliv
tight hand.
4. Carter was sparring for wind, and afterwards planted a
very heavy blow on the neck of his adversary. The Black re-
treateinsibe rapes, and was thrown to a trial of strength.—

7 to 2 em Carter.
5. The Black run in, and was received, when a sort of hug-
ging followed, and Carter got his head under his arm, and pu-
:dated his then scarified face, and then threw Lint.—Odds any
height to the fancy of the better, as high as 10 to 1 on Carter.
8. In this round, after the Black had sustained his usual quan-
tum of punishment (but upon the whole he had not much of the
worst of this round), hi a struggle Carter threw him, and fell
upon him. Caner, when on the ground, sung out lustily—
"Oh ! d—n, he's biting me, Gentlemen," looking to the Um-
pires; and when on his kg. again, he exhibited his marks.
7. In this round the Black seemed resolved on a desperate
effort, and he run in hand over head, but Carter gathered him-
self together and received Lim with hard blOws, and ultimately
knocked him down.
8. It was supposed the Black would not come again, but he
did, and satisfied the ring completely he was one of the white
feathered sort. After playing some antics, Carter threw him.
9. The Black was hit at his ad ry's pleasure in this round,
and Caner threw him, and fell with his hips on his wind, and
Blackee gave in; be was, however, persuaded to stand up three
other rounds. In the fifth the Black deliberately laid down ;
and at the close of the 12th he declared emphatically, " I'll fight
no more!" The battle lasted 18 ntinutes and 10 seconds. 'I be
Black's head was miserably &figured.
It Way be said Carter has been lucky in falling in
with this and his last black adversary : 'but we must
do justice 'to his pugilistic knowledge on this occa-
sion to state, that he acquitted himself with much
Icaution, steadiness, and self-command, and beat his
whin without a scratched face. Vie consider him the
lquickest and best lett-handed hitter on the fighting
list, and if his right is not like that of a Cribb or a
Belcher, it falls heavy on the spot which receives it.
In the zeal Of his County's cause (Lancashire), as
he termed it, he expressed himself determined to
vindicate it, and challenged to fight any man in the
world for 50 guineas. Carter stands nearly six feet,
and weighs more than thirteen stone.
A second battle was fought for a purse between
Lancaster and a sturdy Coal-ht aver, whom nobody
knew, and which was won by the latter, ater a good
fight of half an hour.—Betting 6 to 4 on Lancaster.
Crocisky, the Sailor, fought a third battle, and
beat a Navigator.

Mr. FROVDMAN, the King's Messenger, we are
concerned to say, remained insensible yesterday, in
consequence of the accident he received early on

tance of some watchmen's lanterns, on the opposite
side of the road from where the gig was found.

QUEEN-SQUARE.•-•• Sunday last, Mrs. Parker, of
Queen-square, had a select party of Ladies and Mi.
litary Officers to dinner ; after which the Ladies re-
tired to the drawing room, when one of them found
her port folio, which was left there on a table, had
been broke open and robbed of r€3o in Bank notes.
This naturally excited considerable alarm, as no
strangers had access to the roqm, and the Ladies re-
solved to inform the Gentlemen, who advised to give
•
rformation at the Public Office, which was accor-
dingly done on Menclay, and an fficer dispatched to
examine the place, but without success. Yesterday
all the party, with their servants, attended before Mr.
FIELDING, when it appeared one of the Officer's ser-
vants was suspected, but nothing came out to clear
up the mystery.
