THE FANCY.

Boom silo prejt:dieeLagone abroad against the
good intention of Baldwin, insinuating, that the small deposit which
be staked towards the match with Burn, was merely a show off to
increase the public interest fur his benefit at the Tennis Court.
The propagators of this mischievous insinuation however have been
floored. The White-heated Hero has come down with a second
deposit, and left sot a doubt that he means nothing but-fighting.
£5O are now posted of the 6200 for which they are to fight.
GTIMIII7II 550 Maane.--The disputed silents of this case are
still wandering in the labyrinths of " Fancy Law,'t and appear to
wimple through as many intricacies as a suit in Chancery.—
Clybletts's party not willing to rely entirely on the " &tic forms of
legislature," have called in a " civil practitioner" to their aid, and
served a legal notice on the stakeholder, not to give up their share
of the money but to themselves. Tuna Cribb, the Ex-Champion,
who, in all knotty points, is looked Up to as a Patriarch, and who,
was st“keholder in the match, has given it as his opinion that the
men ought to fight it out, or that Martin ootht to have la from
Gyblette party, as they evade the fairest mode of decision, by rte.
fusing to fight again; but on account of the" civil interference" the
case fa•how a conipound question.
NeJ O'Neal and shim Barn never meet but each of them find
some ”pptertunity of saying a little so hie own capability, and as
much of the incapability of the other, which leads to endlkss wrang-
ling, and sometimes thl•eatens more.actiee contention. A short
time ago, they met on professional business." and the usual chaff-
ing between them had nearly led to a fight on the spot. Burs being
already matched, could neitber accept nor give a challenge at preseat
on terms with which O'Neal would close. But it is expected, that
as soon as each party is at liberty to do the thing all right," their
continual war of words will be decided by trial of battle ; and when
it does come on both .of them will find they have they work to do,
ter each of them is a good nun.

lenge, says he is uegociatiog a match wit► Irish Larkins,'for 251. or

fouiro DUTCH San and DAVIS, the Pet of Manchester.—Last

TOM I3ekher last week, was matched against a Gentleman, a
foreigner. in a pigeon match of twelve birds, from the trap at el
yards for 251. aside. Yesterday the affair was decided, at the
Green Man, Kent.road. Twin shut five of his twelve, and the
foreigner eight of his twelve. It may be noticed, however, that
Tom had never used the gun before coming on this ground, and
that in consequence of his being unacquainted with the instrument
of death, he actually lost three pigeons by raising the gun when
only at half-cock. After the main match, in a bye concern, he
knocked down five out of six birds. Jem Burn accompanied him
on the occasion anti had a little match of his own, in which Be said
he made no mistake, I downed seven out of ten."

ORIGIN or DISZASE.--# I tell you honestly whole I
think is the cause of the complicated maladies of dial
'human race; it is their gortnandisidg and stuffing, and '
stimulating those organs (the digestive) to an excess,
thereby producing nervous disorders and irritation.—
The state of their minds is another grand cause; the
fidgetting and discontenting' yourselves about that
which can't be helped ; passions of all kinds—malignant
passions, and worldly carer, pressing upon the mind,
disturb the cerebral action, and do a great deal of
harm."—Aberadhy's Lectures.
The two following instances of tenacitj of life in the
shark are recorded by the French traveller, •M. L. de
FRZYCINCT. A fish of this species, about ten feet long,
And from which the head and entrails had been re-
moved, was lelt upon the deck of a vessel, apparently
dead. In alr ut ten minutes, the sailors were preparing
to wash the deck, seized the fish by the tail to drag it
forward, when the creature made such violent effort%
as almost to overthrow the persons around it. In the
ther instance, the animal had been completely evisee•
rated mote than two hours, but apt ung up several times
upon the deck, when a sailor laid hold of its tail, de-
signing to cut it off with a knife; a hatchet was necessa-
rily had recourse to for the operation.--Caledonida Mer.
