• SPARRING
ROYAL TENNIS Cotrae.—Ctiner, yesterday, took his be,nelt.zt
the above elegant place, previous to his going. into training- to'
fight Spring. From the great muster of amateurs that aseentbliM
on this occasion, it is evident Oliver is still an attractive box..•
in the Fancy. The sets-to generally were good, but some of
them were above par.
The science displayed by Ben Burns, la his combat with Ler:
kins, was of the finest description of the art.
The bout between the Master of ate Rolls and ilickoan' or;
Dough versus Gas, was nothing bat pepper while it lasted ;threev
rounds was Adore. Martin hart his arm, and retired ; and a
robber that Gas got, made him, he said, rather dizzy. lie a
most tremendous hitter.
the Gipsy and Weatkerkead was little better than she,s;zi.:.:
but the combat between Curtis and the Oirrsl.s brog:,:r
a treat. The former little one is science to the echo.
Richmond's new man of colour, Johnson, was put up just f r
au appearance with a nephew of Ben Burns. The arms of
are tremendously long.; and if ho did but know how to use thew,
simetbing would " soon be the matter with a good many of
opponents." He may do better next time.
Oliver and Shelton did their best; but there was nothing !Ice/
about it—they were awake to each other.
Belasco, sen. mounted the stage, and challenged the r nt.'s
haat Youth to fight for fifty pounds or one hundred pounds, an.:
time he thought proper; and he would spar with him on the
spot. The youtk skewed without hesitation. " Hats off!" w.s
the cry, and the bout commenced. It was an angry combat on
both sides, and a great deal of work was done between them.—
The Jew fibbed the youth down in the second round ; but in
the third, Sampson gave &lase°, on the side of the nth, such
a tolayrasler, accompanying it with " What do you think of that
now ?"—lf the gloves had been off, it was a winning hit. The
Jew was quite abroad, and only saved himself from going down
by the rails of the stage. The combat was, however continued,
and in falling together, the Jew said he had hart his shiMider.
The latter proposed then to settle with only one hand, to Skew
his game; the youth accommodesed him. The combat went on
till the pepper-bar was too much for the Jew, and the youth had
the best of it. It was a prime bout, and plunk was not wantins,
on either side. The Jew offered to fight in six weeks for fifty
pounds.—Oliver returned thanks, and the amateurs departed
highly pleased.

A`f.

Downside College, in Shropshire, is undergoing a
thorough repair, and, when completed, will prove a
striking object to all admirers of modern Gothic ar-
chitecture. The Duke of NORFOLK, Lords SHREWS.
BURT, SURREY, ARUNDEL, PErRE, CLIFFORD, &C &C.
have liberally subscribed towards this desirable object.
The number of Students at King's College, Aber-
deen, i; unprecedentedly great this session. The numb
her in each class is as follows:—First, or Greek class,
77; Semi, or Mathematics, 66;' Tertian, or Natural
Philosophy, 443; Magistrand, or Moral Philosophy,
including gownmen and others, 53.
A Lochaber Correspondent observes, g' that the
spirit of liberality, and hospitable kindness, once
so prevalent amongst the Highland Chiefs, yet re-
mains unabated in the generosity displayed by
Locum., to the tenantry on his extensive estates.—
The severe losses sustained by sheep farmers and
graziers, for some time past, met with Locsuar.'s at-
tention ; and without request, he granted for three
years a deduction of 20 and 10 percent. over all his
property—an example worthy of imitation.,"
ANECDOTE OF THE LATE GENERAL KOSCIUSKO...-.
FFOOI a Polish Journal.—" Kosciusko once wished to
send some bottles of good wine to a Clergyman at
rn Solothu; and_ as he hesithted to send them by his
servant, lest he-should smuggle . a part, he gave the
Commission to a young man of the name of ZELTN ea,
and desired him to take the horse which he himself
usually rode. On his return, young ZELTNER said,
that he never would ride his horse again, unless he
gave him his purse at the same time. KOSCIUSKO
asking him what he meant, he answered-' As soon
as a poor man on the road takes off his hat and asks
for charity, the horse immediately stands still, and
won't stir till something is -given to the petitioner;
and as I had no money about me, I was obliged to
make-believe to give something, in order to satisfy
' the horse !'"

P/THAGIORAS.--, When any of his scholars were
given up to sin and so excommunicated, he placed
a coffin in his Place ; denoting thereby, that he was
dead as to their rciety.
