BOXING AT RED-AT?.
The long expected battle between finnipttries and Alfiwdot2,
has at length taken place. A dispute between those two cham-
pions arose at the door of a lodgiog-houst;, at Redcar, when Men-
doza challeng u Humphries otr, and without further delay, they
repaired t ham Green, whets the combat immediately be-
gun • Henderson was second to Mendoza, and Thompson se-
conded Humphries.
Round 1. Mendoza entered t)te ring, like a man confident of
success ; whilst Humphries, fro in his nervous h nit. seemed to
be in want of a little cognise to revive his spirits. endoza
c..nuti,:oteu a furious attack upon his antagonist, which was
feebly resisted by 1 luntpl.:ies, and Mendoza eendi g a left-
hand hit, which plumped Humphries over the right temple, he
dropped like a lump of sugar candy.— Betting 2 to 1 on Mendoza.

2. Humpblies this round appeared to enter the ring with a
little more confidence, and commenced by a good rally upon his
antagonist, which was returned wilt fury, but ilu inphries fought
with coolness and appeared to thew a little science, which so ag-
gravated ,endoza' that he fought like a madnot... o being
thrown off his guard, he received a blow over his bowsprit, which
caused the dard to flow plentifully.—Even betting.

3d. and last.--Both having got wind, tl:ey entt.r,cl the ring
with a determination to put an end to the contest ; both rallied
and met, hit and received with equal success, Mendoza shewing
a great deal of Johnson's science ; at le..gth both closing, a most
desperate milling took place, which lasted upwards of five mi-
nutes, when both dropt to the ground like two rotten figs.
lfttnamcs.—Mendoza, though fifteen years olds than Hnm-
phries, proved to have the better bottom ; and it was observed
by a spectator, that Humphries knew how to handle a yard
wand, but *hewed himself quite deficient in the use of his fists.
Humphries pretended that he gave up because he was tiled of
beating his adversary; but to the spectator it was obvious that
he was completely done and out of wind ; and when Mendoza
challenged hint out again, he (:traggadocia like) shewed a white
feather, and chose to withdraw.

An extraordinary circumstance took place yester-
day evening, in the Church of St. Sepulchre, Snow-
hill. About a quarter past seven o'clock, a respect-
able looking man, who was seated in one of the pews
in the centre of the church, stood up suddenly, and
vociferated some incoherent expressions, and pulling
from his side pockets a pair of loaded pistols, he
brandished them about in each hand, when a Ge;..
tleman in the next pew-attempted to seize the pistol,.
The Clergyman came down from the gulpit, he being
the most conspicuous person, and most likely to at-
tract the notice cf the maniac, for such we may sup-
pose him to be; he kept every person at a di,tance,
and turning round, looked up to the organ gallery,
each side of which was crowded with charity chil-
dren, and levelling the pistol he held in his right
han,!, he fire.' it into the gallery. A scream of hor-
ror was instantly echoed from all parts of the church,
and great confusion prevailed. He was fottunately
secured before he had time to fire the second pistol,
which was wrested from him, and found to be heavily
loaded. The maniac was conveyed to the watch-
house, in Cow-cross. Several of the children were
trampled on and dreadfully hurt. The following is
the copy of a printed paper which he threw about
after he fired the pistol :
THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION

Spoken of by Damn., the Prophet, that he shall stand in the
holy Place, is THE ORGAN.
It is the Image of the Kingdom of Antichrist

' The Rev. Clergyman, and several other persons,
questioned the untortunate man as to the interpreta-
tion of those mysterious figures, as also the motives
which could drive him to the commission of such a
violent act; but his answer was in a foreign tongue,
unknown to all present: however, he soon after ad-
dressed them in very good French, and explained,
that the figures below the letters were intended to
represent the different notes on the organ, and that
the word formed by the letters above was the true
construction which the Holy Prophet had put on
those notes. For those reasons he had a particular
aversion to all organs, and, as it was his wish to en-
lighten the world upon the subject, he had prepared
about six hundred hand-bills in the English language,
which he had distributed whenever an opportunity
presented itself; but much difficulty was thrown in
the way of his charitable intentions, owing to his
ignorance of the language of this country. However,
as he could not address the people in their own
tongue, he had provided himselt with a pistol, by
firing which he thought he should be able to con.•
mand attention. He gave his name David K.ruskline,
and also the address of a British (Mice/ resitting at
the Bell Inn, Holborn. This Gentleman was imme-
diately applied to, and his account of the prisoner
was, that his father was a merchant at Konigsberg,
in Prussia, and that the prisoner had been clerk to
him, but had ran away, being at that tune generally -
believed to be insane. It is not known whethet the
pistol contained a ball; but a gun-maker who exa-
mined it, expressed his conviction that it did; how•
ever, it was not found.
