" At a Sparring Match. for the benefit of Gregson, on There-
day, the Ist of. April, Donnelly and Carter sparred, but Don-
ecily having met with an accident, he hopes the Public will
pardon him if he has not aroused the Gentlemen present to their
satisfactior, but it was his wish so to do. After the set-to be-
tween Harmer and Sutton, the latter thought prop-er to come
forward and challenge any man, and also Donnelly ie. pa -icular,
fur :;o, or 42100. Donnelly being somewhat a stranger, dil not
come forward to answer the eleilksige until he should first con-
sult his friends in this country and in freLind; but he has that
confidence in his friends both here and there, that they will hack'
hint. lie therefore begs leave tc say, Lim. he did not come over
to England for the purpoae of filleting; but as it appears to be
the wish of the Gentlemen here to try his mettle, he begs leave
further to oaf, that he will fight any man in England of his
weight, from 101. to MO.—Dated this Ist day of April, 1819.

Longman, •to whom he had paid his addresses. In a
state of despairhe first thought of murdering )I;,s
Longman.; but considering that the might have some
sins to answer for, he determined upon killing the
innocent childi • and he iccordingly took the poor In-
fant out and cut het throat. He afterwards ran abeo:
in a state of distraction, and at length surrendered
himself at the watch-hour.

A great many witnesses were then examined en
his behalf, to prove a case of insanity.
The Jury consulted• for nearly ten minutes, and
then pronounced the prisoner Guiky ; and the Judge
immediately pronounced upon him the. 4readful sen-
tence ut the law, and ordered him to be executed,
and his body given over for dissection, on Monday
morning next.
The unhappy man listened to his fate, without
seeming to know what w:r. passing; and was re-
moved in an apparently senseless state as to the
wretched situation in which he was placed.

Mary Wells, a married woman, Was indicted for
the wilful murder of her bastard child, en the Pith
of February. There was no evidence that the child
was born alive, and the prisoner was found—Not
Guilty of the Murder; but was convicted of the con-
cealment of the bastard child, upon her own conies-
, lion, subject to the question of legitimacy. Seatenc,.
was consequently respited.

There is some mistake in the rumour that the Re•
port of the Bank Committee would be laid before
House previous to the Easter Holidays. The COM.
mittee have only completed the examination of
deuce, and the Report cannot be ready till after the
recess—a delay productive of incalculable embarra,-
ment to capitalists and commercial men.
