Plymouth. having experienced constant westerly gales and ye/7
bad weather, and, in fact, having to beat to windward all the way.
Shortly after sbe got dear of the Land's End a sea struck her and
stove in four of her weather-ports, which completely filled her
waist, and bad it not been for the activity of the Officers and men
in clearing away the lee-ports to get rid of the water (the hatches
being already battened down), the consequences would have been
fatal. The vessel is, of course, somewhat strained, but has not lost
a spar. The Onyx is the first vessel which has brought to us the
agreeable news of the arrival of his Royal Highness Don Miguel
in England. Lieutenant. Cole remains here, to get on boald a
supply of fresh beef and water, and sails again immediately."

Till FANCY.
Jam CART'S bad his promised Benefit at the Tennis Court yes-
terday, and received very liberal support from the Fancy. The
Court was crowded to an overflow. and many of the oldest sup.
porters of the Pugilistic School were present. The setting-to was
pretty good, but many of she nobs did not show. Among the es.
hibitors were--Alick Reed and Jack Scroggins ; Dittos and J.
Spencer; the Two Dwarfs, Morgan and M'Bean. who afforded
lots of fun ; Jens Burn aad the Cheshire Hero. The Latter get a
complete de-up. He was quite a novice, and had not a chance.
Peter Crawley and the Chatham Caulker. The latter walked sin
apd twenty miles to give his friend Jack a turn—a fact, which the ,
sorority of his treatment by Peter induced him to plead as an apo-
logy-for his detects; Pick (the Bristol youth) and Harry Jones;
Young Dutch S.nt and Jem Raises ; Jens Born 's Pupil from Hat-
field and Black Breeches—a very manly and spirited display. Sheen
and Crayfor; and as a wind-up, Josh Hudson and Jack Carter.
Josh showed the Inevitable effects of good living—being thick in
the wind--but Carter did not seem sufficiently active to take ad-
vantage of his opponent.

A new alteration took place as to the time of fighting. It was die-
covered that the 29A of April, the day deed, was in the week op-
pointed for the Newmarket meeting; and as this circumstahee
might have prevented many of the turf men from bring present:,
Bub proposed an adjournment for a week. Neal said a week would
make no difference to him; but if be acceeded to Bob's wishes, he
considered that be was entitled to an equivalent; or in other weeds,
that he should have the right to name the place of meeting. To His
Bob at once agreed, and it was therefore arranged that the fight
should stand over to the 29th of April instead of the 22d, and that
Neal should have the right to say "where." Bob looked well; but
although Neal bad been out of town for several weeks, be was too
fat, and has muds flesh to get off. As the fight does not take place
till the 29th of April, however, he has abundance of time to work
down his superfluities. The betting on Neal is 40 to SO, and S 0 to
no. He is also backed at even to win in SO minutes, and Halve the
first knock-down blow.
