llismaxs.—This was a first rate battle. Brown,
although unsuccessful, ought still to lose none of the
good opinion that had been formed of him, for it wix,
evident he only wanted a little tutoring to meet tee:
estimation that had been previously formed; but Op.
posed to so experienced, so steady, and so hard a ggliter
as Lenney, Young Jem's greenness was doubly appa..
rent. Like most young fighters his right hand is his
favOurite hit. Brown may still be made much of: he
socn shook off the stunning blow, and seemed to be des-
perate, when he knew that time was so fir gone; but
be could then have no chance. Lenney fought with the
tactics of an old warrior, and Curtis, as his second,
was worthy of his place in the ring, both for chaffing
and directing. Brown's ear was puffed not a little, and
his left eje doing; his face was touched in many
places; but altogether be did not show much punish-
ment ; it appeared that he suffined most from fatigue,
chiefly on account of superfluous flesh. Leone), was
little the worse at the finish. His left eye was rather
heavy, and threatened to be mousy; but he was in
prime heart when he left the ring.

An 31A ful visitation of FILOVIDIiNCE occurred at Sheer-
ness on Friday last.' A very violent storm of thunder
and lightning passed ovet the town, accompanied by
large hail-stones, during which the electric fluid struck
oat of the warders of the dnck yard, named Henry,
whilst on guard, and he wai initantly killed. The hair
and face of the unfortunate man were partially burnt,
and the collar bone had received an injury. The decea.ed
was a very aged man, and had been in acts of devotibn
precious to the inelAncholy c4tiftophey as a Bible was
lying open in the sentry 'box. ' •
