Notwithstanding the drenched state of the Fancy Coves, most
of them remaiPed on the round to witness a second turn-up
between Jack O'lluand, and Oliver's "hardy boy," who defeated
the Canterbury post-boy. The contest lasted three quarters of
an hour, and O'Donnel won in good style. Torrents of rain fell
during the whole of the fight.

Martzit was `resent, and offered to fight any one, and give a
stone weight, fur :45 guintas, but be could not find a customer.

An English Gentleman arrived in town a week or
two since from Italy, charged with a special mission
from her Royal Highness the Princess of Wm.'s;
also with instructions to various tradesmen. Mr.
LAwritE, Saddler to the Board of Ordnance and the
India Company, received orders to execute, with all
possible celerity, a full set of state harness for ten
horses—six fur a carriage, and four for outriders,
with appropriate saddles, &c. The order was com-
pleted ou Saturday last; and, in a few days, the same
will be shipped for Italy. The PRINCE REGENT'S
and the PntNcrss's arms are quartered and highly
finished; the embossed work is executed on a very
bold projection, and richly gilt ; it has all the British
supporters, with the. Imperial Crown on the collars,
the housings, the a inkcrs, and bridles, All the new
improvements are introduced with the Buxton-bit,
Hawk-head, Butler-terriit, and Roger-ring.
One of the large towers of Windsor Castle, the
principal apartments of which were lately occupied
by her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA, has
been recently taken down, in consequence of its de-
cayed state. A large chasm was discovered in the
lower part of the external wall, which was of prodi-
gious thickness, and immense pieces of timber
(formed, in several instances, of the whole trunk of
a tree), which had been imbedded in the chalk prin-
cipally comprising the walls, were in a state of com-
plete decay. The tower will be rebuilt upon the
same plan, with the exception of that improvement
in the form of the windows, commenced in parts by
his MAJESTY, which, wherever executed, has added
so
,greatly to the magnificence of the structure.
The number of partridges this year is said to ex-
ceed that of any previous one in the memory of the
oldest sportsman.
Last week a dreadful accident took place about
two miles from Derry, in Ireland. A young man, of
the name of Adams, had been endeavouring to draw
a ball from a gun, which had been long charged,
butsfailing in the attempt he had made, he took the
foolish resolution of melting the ball, by placing the
barrel of the gun in the fire. Shortly after, his mo-
ther went into the kitchen, and stooping down to
wash her feet at the moment the gun exploded, the
ball passed through her head, and she lostantlyexpired.
