The battle between Lucas, the tintnan (who fought near
Gravesend a few days since with Smart, a wharfinger), and
WESTWOOD, Smart's second in that fight, took place yesterday
morning, a short distance from Sidcup, in Keut, the men having
been routed from the intended spot near Chisiehurst. The battle
was for five guineas a-side only, by the meeting was occasioned
from a dispute at the late fight. Westwood is a stout 12 stout
man, who at first led with much gaiety until stopped, when be
all at once exhibited the Whitelock. The battle lasted six rounds
only, as follows:
In the first round Westwood commenced hitting away round-
ly but heavy, and Lucas was floored, not having science enough
to avoid the blows, or strength to resist them.
I. Lucas kept at distance until Westwood made a rush and
hit by him, which brought them to a close, and Lucas had the
best of close quarters, but he was throws a heavy cross buttock.
5. Lucas again waited for his adversary coming in, when le
met him with a right handed Bush hit over the leftt ogle, and th
countryman retreated, and felt to try if he had lost it. in rent
for the hit, he ran his adversary down.
4. Lucas received a heavy right handed blow on the r 1,
which echoed throughout the ring, but he did not go down w:-.:1
ft. Westwood had the best of tile round, and hit his adveictry
down ; he was backed to win at 5 to 1.
5. Westwood received again upon the left Olharr, in making
.play, and he suffered his adversary to hunt him to every part of
the nag ; he at last fell in the most cowardly manner, xnd all the
fawn of his seconds was hardly sufficient to make him come
gam.
6: Lucas went to work without caution, and he received a
heavy bit or two ; bat he at length floored his adversary by a
hit ea the mputh; and to make safe of it, he would us t sand
upon his kgs again. Lucas, though a winner, was heavily

Some heavy failures have taken place in Manches,
ter, which, it is supposed, will materially affect Liver-
pool.
The Board of Taxes have given directions fur
Bank of England dollars and tokens to be received

Saturday, Provost Hums, in presence of the Ma-
giltrates, several of the heritors, and a great concourse
lof people, lid the foundation-stone of a new church

A new church is about to be elected a Stapleton,

almost entirely occupied by colliers, v, h ) have at pre-
sent no place of worship to resort to.
An alteration is about to take place in the acade•
mical costume of the under-graduates of St John's
College, Cambridge, more correspondent with the
dignity of the foundaticn than that at present-worn.
No former first month of the spring season ever
presented a fairer promise of a plentiful fruit year
than the present. The trees generally are unusually
full of bursting bloom-buds and full-blown blossoms;
especially the plum and pear, which every where ex-
hibit perfect garlands.
We understand that, in consequence of the open
and damp season, cattle will be ready for Smithfield
Market fully a month before they were last year. The
Public may therefore anticipate a material reduction
in the present extravagant price of butchers meat.
The very best Carlow butter at this time, to the
wholesale butter-dealers, is not more than 9d. a pound !

really do not know what vice to offer -with safety ;

barrel: Pork and Bacon are doter considerably."
CORN-MARKET, MARK-LANE, APRIL 23.
• • Although the supply of English Wheat continues
my small, yet the trade was heavy this morning at
!Monday's prices, for fine samples, without t!;e least
demand for the inferior descriptions. Fine Barley
'lllipports Monday's price, having but little at market.
Beans are 4s.'per quarter dearer ; those from the Me-
Lditerranean were brisk sale at that advance, in con-
reequence of the probability of the ports being shut in
May against their importation. Oats were also mire
in request, and went off on full as good terms as on
Monday.
