between Carter and a black named Joseph; malty

fourteen stone man, but having been, beat by Powers',

In a close both were down.
v. Altiough Carter was open-mouthed, his adversary had
neither science nor quickness to do any thing. The Black re-
ceived three or four left-handed hits on the hell, and some in.
offensive once with the right hand. In a claw the Black had
Carter's head eachequered, but the latter held his right hand,
and got down.

horse after a king's plate. He, however, hit and bruke'away,

REMARKS.
. On this battle but • few obiervations rise. Carter
with weight and science ought to have beat this ad.,
venturer in. a quarter of an hour, to a great certainty.
Zia he beins without fi..ishing, inasmuch as his left
band is effective, but he fails to give the weight of
his frame from the shoulders, which 'must be with
the object of saving himself. His right hand is bill'
little used, and when put into execution, it is, by first
erecting it, and then flapping: it down. At in•fight.
log, it is difficult to tell which was the worst. A 4 for
the Black, his friends would- iltailvise him ever to
appear in a Prize-ring again:
A second fight, which made op for the first, was
&tight between Ballard, a brave little Westminster
man, and a young .kw, lately a sailor on board a
discovery vessel. This Jew, who must have fought.
eleven stone, having A stone supetior weight, is the
best we have lately seen. Ballard is a veteran in the
ring, and the odds were 2 to 1 on the Jew at setting
to, and such increased to S and 4 to 1 during the
battle. It was bravely maintained tpr 45 minutes,
when the Jew, who was backed at the time at S to 1
current betting, overreached' in hitting with his left
hand, and the shoulder bone. slipped. Here the
battle i t .:,arse ended, to the chagrin of the cogno-
scenti Jews and Gentiles.

A Savings Bank has lately been instituted in the
district of Olerkenwell on a plan similar to those in
Scotland, paying • five per ant. interest. The sup-
port it has already received during the short period
which has elapsel since it has been in activity, has
exceeded the most sanguine expectations.

AMERICA.—The following articles aft extracted
from the Natiorsal latelligasser of December 2g : •
• DoLat.z Durtzs.—From paragraphs which we
have seen in some of the papers, it will appear thtat a
singular misapprehension prevails in regard to the
recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasury re-
specting the double duties on imports, viz. that he
proposes that in June next the import duties shall re.
turn to the rate which existed prior to the. war. H.
proposes, it is true, that they shall be extended from
I:elfin:try, when they would end of course, until June;
because by ihat time it is supposed they may be sulk
'timed by the new Tariff of duties now prepat ing at
the Treasury by the direction of Congress. The nier
coolie gentlemen who have written on the subject in
the newspapers will therefore perceive, that the day
menticiaed is not too early for the discontinuance of
the double duties, provided Congress, in the mean
, time, pass upon the Tariff, since it is proposed to sub-
stitute specific duties for them, not less productive in
amount, but more equitable in their operation, and
better suited to the present interests of the country.
r, A Frenchman, named Regnault, who latety fled
from the justice of his own country, and sought an
asylum in Arnefjca, recently visited the manufacto-
ries at Patterson, New Jersey, and wrote on the book
at the hotel—" May your industry rival that of Man-
ehesier, and contribute to deliver America from that
tribute she pays to England, who will always be her
enemy !"—lf, this Frenchman is sincere in wishing
success to American manufactures he has ow thanks;
but we would ask this.meddling alien, if de considers
the money and articles we give to France in exchange
f9r her wines, ribbons, and gewgaws to be tribute uid
to her ; which it• is just as much as the money we pay
to England for her manufactures and raw materials;
and further, how much of the ten millions of dollars
soien from American citizens,by his master and idol
he. considers as taken-for 4riblite money ?

guish our national cockade from the British, a writer
in the Intelligeoutr proposes a blue toe, and assigns
many reasons in support of dpe proposal, as prevent.

house, No. 83, Duke-street, St. James's; the Rev.,
Sohn Hillyer, and stealing property to the amount of
between two and three lusadnut pounds.—The prose-
cutor stated, that yesterday month% early, at thetime
he was dozing, be heard a noise in the drawing-room
adjoining to his bed-room, which be at first thought
was the servant cleaning. the room ; his bed-room
door then opened, but be did not see any person. Di.
rectlt after he heard the chimes of the clock go a.
quarter put six o'clock. Not hearing any more
noise, be concluded it was not the servant, but a;
robber. He got up about seven o'clock, when he.
found the window open, and he . had no doubt that.
it had bees entered from the lamp iron. A candle,
was found which had burnt out ; but whether it bad
'been left for the purpose of setting the premises on.
lief or not, he could not ascertain ; a part of a tea.'

Asti a steel, a flint, some tinder, matches, &c. The.
principal thing stolen was a small Russia leather
case, containing 4160 in Bank of England notes, and
country bank notes, four Napoleons; some francs, a
French, passport, some valuable papers, &c.• three
gold seals, &c. He strongly susFected that the rob•
ber must have known of the property. being in the
case, as it was a very unusual thing to keep plo,ierty
of such value. His valuable watch was not taken.—
The room did not appear to have been searched for
other property, or a draft for 8.100 would have been
found. He rung the bells, and alarmed the house ;
but did not attempt any pursuit of the robber, bring
persuaded that he was not in the house. He went
to the banking house of Sir James Esdaile, in Lom-
bard.street, where some of the country bank notes
were payable, and described his private mark on the
notes, he not knowing. the numbers, &c. He then
came to the Office, and procured the assistance .4
Oddy. Soon alter he had left Sir James Esclaile's
house, a bank note for £lO, of the Blandford Bank,
was tendered there by Mr.'Farebrother, a jeweller
and silversmith, in Aldgate, near Houndsditch, to
ascertain it it was good, Sec. it having been tendered
to him in payMent for the purchase of some goods.
Mr. Smith, a clerk in the bank, on examining it, as-
certained. by a 'nitrate mark, which Mr. Hillyer de-
scribed, that it was one of those he bad been robbed
of, and which the prisoner had tendered to Mr. Fare-
brother. The prisoner was then taken into custody
by Brown, a City police -officer, who, on searching
him, found two gold seals, which proved to be part
of the property stolen from Mr. Hillyer. The privi-
ner was theii brought to the Office ; and is being
learnt that he lived in York-street, alias Petty France,
Westminster, in a short time after, the prisoner's wife
was brought to the Office, with the prtocipai part of
the propel ty of which Mr. Hillyeri house had been
robbed, ccaisisting of 'eleven Anti bank notes, and se-
veral others, a silver snuff-box, the Napoleons, francs,

mitted the ciime, but had been induced to do it
through distress ; and begged for pity and mercy,
and for his wi6 and children. He said he had pledged
the great coat at a pawnbroker's; on the Surrey side
of Westminster Bridge. The case and papers he
had destroyed, as he had some lottery shares whicb
he had purchased with one of the notes. He was

Como STIALING.—The following extraordinary
circumstance rook place in Bristol, on Tuesday ken-
night :—Between fire and six o'clock in the evening,
a female, :revery genteel appearance and address,
calling herself tit., Right Honourable Lady Gwyoue,
came to the house of Reuben Bond, a journeyman
cooper, under the King David Inn, St. Michael's-
hill, requesting to see Bond's wife, who had been
brought to bed of a daughter three days previously.
After many inquiries, and much apparent anxiety for
the situation of the family, she proposed giving some
cast off clothes for the other children, and left a letter
of recommendation to a must respectable Lady, at
Cotham. She next begged that the nurse might take
the child to her house, as she would clothe it in a
handsome manner, and also send some clothes for the
other children. Imposed. upon by her specious ap-
pearance, and her .apparently benevolent intentions
to the whole family, the nurse was permitted to take
the child agreeably to het request. On leaving the
room, she gave Mrs. Bond a dollar and a 3s. piece.
When they had proceeded to the enitof Church-lane,
next to Parh-row the Lady said she had forgotten to'
ask the ages of the other children, and taking the'
child Iron' the nerse, sent her back to make inquiry,,
bidding her come to the house at the bottom of Lud-
r gate-street. The nurse did as directed, but on her
return, the Hun. Lady Gwynne had disappeared with
the child. Lady Gwynne is rather under the middle'
size, dark complexion and hair ; and wore a black
silk gown, black bonnet, and a white lace veil. The
police have been very active in their endeavours tol
trace her retreat, but hitherto without effect.
A Miu..itaicstoLi Occunainca.—About a fortnight
ago, two pour industrious shoemakers, and a woman,
(the wife of a shoemaker), went from Elgin to
Granton market, Scotland, a distance of 33 miles, ,
with a few shoes in wallets ea their backs. Having
sold their goods, on their return by the Mannoch.
road, they were overtaken in that long dreary and
desolate hill, far from any human habitation, by the
terrible snow storm of Wednesday evening, the 17th
-January : exhausted by the depth of snow , on the
road and the fury of the elements, no pitying eye or
helping hand near- them, they seem to have crowded
together is a hollow place on the road side, and sat
down benumbed with cold, for rest or shelter : here
they had been overpowered by sleep, and death came
to close the terrible scent ! A countryman passing
along the-same toad the next morninir, struck with
horror on observing a hand and foot pointing through
a wreath of snow, ran back a mile and a half to the
nearest house, and brought assistance, to dig the three
Unfortunates from their dreadful grave. Informa-
tion being sent to Elgin (six miles off), a party of
men with a hearse went to bring home their bodies to
their sorrowing relations. Thus, four poor families
were at once thrown on the compassion and bounty
of the public ; and it is with winch pleasure we re-
cord the liberality of. the inhabitants 61 Elgin, who
most readily contributed one loathed guineas to-
wards their support. , .

Kt...141am Am* Ears. ire. Pa. es
torten—The export demand for Cotton has for a
length of time been extensive, the request h now sub-'
sidling; direct arrivals from America have taken
place ; the Continental Marketi are in conseclivenee
not so favourable; parcels bought for export have
been offering again for resale ; the estimated sales of
last week little exceed 1100 packages. The late de-
clatationtby the India Company make for sale on
the 9th instant, a total of 1800 Bengals, 2022 Sur as,
54 Bourbons. The imports of Cotton into London,
Liverpool, and Glasgow last month were extensive,
consisting of 40,712 bags.
LIVERPOOL, Fag. 3.—Our Cotton market has been,
,during the greater part of last week, without much
animation ; and the prices of Boweds and Orleans,
which have been gradually giving way, miy now Ist•
considered id. a J. per lb. lower than our last quo-
tatioias ; in other descriptions there is no material
al tem ian.
Smuts—There is evidently some imprimement in
the demand for Muscovades ; the business doio
though not extensive, is yet • more considerable than
has lately been experienced.
The Refined market bas been very heavy, but the
holders have not submitted to any farther depression.
The descriptions inquired after are crushed Shgars,
about 755. and large. lumps for crushing at 119..
and 1201. fine goods have b.en also more in request;
Molasses heavy, about 265. There is no variation in
foreign Sugars.
.Cozrza—The demand continuing languid, a far-
ther depression of 3s. or 4s. per cwt. has been sub-
mitted to; good ordinary pale Jamaica Coffee selling
in considerable parcels 635. 6d. to 6.35. 6d. file ordi-
nary 675. 6J. to 68s. middling so good middling
Dutch 80s. 6i. a 83s. 61 A great. proportion of
the Coffee was however withdrawn for higher prices.
IRISH PROVISIONS—Good India and Mess Beef con-
tinue in fair demand. The new India Pork is getting
scarce, and the demand is very considerable ; the
other descriptions are also in na,re request. Singed
Bacon continues heavy; prime heavy middles are in
good demand. There is an additional duty antici-
pated on the import of foreign butter ; the Irish, in
consequence, has advanced, and should the measure
be carried into effect, a farther improvement may be
anticipated.

Hs~rtt AND FLAX—The prices of Hemp are little
varied ; St. Peterburgh clean may be quoted £1,2 to
£44. the latter has been obtained for a parcel of a
very superior description ; the common pricy may,
however, be stated at £l2. In Flax their is little or
.no variation. •
OlLS—Greenland Whale Oil is without varia-
, tivn, the late advance fully maintained ; but the
trade at present make limited purchases, in expecta-
tion of farther siipplies. There have been arriv .Is of
Cod and Seal Oil. Rape may be stated a shade lower.
NAVAL STORES—There has been a farther partial
larrival of rough Turpentine landed from an Am-.
rican ship at Jamaica, and sent to this country ; Ole
quotations may be stated 191. to 21s. • for Carolina
Tar lately arrived 20s. has been offered ; and this
' parcel we believe held at prices 44. to Ss. higher. In
Pitch, Rosin, &c. there is little variation.

Toaacco—The prices of Tobacco are little varied ;
cargoes offer, Virginia for the Continental matkets
89s. to 90s. manifest weight ; Marylands 60s. For
this market, Virginia cargoes 12d. to 13td. per lb.
Kentucky 10d. to 10Id.

A reward of Fifty Guineas is offered by Messrs.
Coop, and CO. Surgeons, of Charlotte-House, Black-
triars-road, for the discovery of the Author of a Let-
ter seat to the Medical Board. We have seen it; the
language is dun of a Quaker, and bears the Wain °all.
Post-mark, dated June 25—a more scurrilous and in-
vective instrument we have never witnessed, and hope,
for the honour of the profession, it will not prove the
effusion of a Medical man—if so, it must -arise
from a grovelling jealousy at seeing a Society of
independent Gentlemen, of the first respectability,
appropriating a large portion of their time in alle-
viating the distresses of individuals, who may have
consulted men ignorant of the profession ; we are at
a loss to conceive the cause for such a libel. Perhaps
some of the author's patients have experienced relief
from thb Medical Board. We are authorised to state,
that Dr. COOPER and Co. are consulted by all
ranks of people every morning until nine o'clock. and.
frost twelve till eight precisely.
