BOXING.
A fight, which excited its full share of interest, took place
yesterday, in some meadows belonging to Mr. Cokshall, on
Cobham Common, eight miles from Blackwater. The combat-
ants %s ere Ir.o:±lt Strong, a Gloucestershire man, who beat rate,
a famed able gipsey, in a gallant battle, and Harry Malpas, a 16
stone man, of gigantic 4tature. The battle was for 100 guineas
aside, and hialps was bacLed by some amateurs from War-
wickshire, in which county he ha4fiainv3 all before him, and
was the provincial Greg3on of the day. A 24-feet square was
formed, and the men entered, with their seconds, at eight
o 'clock in the morning.
Round 1. Strong, being rather more than 12 stone, after many
manoeuvres to get the first hit missed his adversary's head, when
he tea floored by a right-handed blow mt the side of the head.
2. Stray,. mule a k ft. halided feint, and sent in his right upon
the nose c. f Cis 'Adversary, from which the cla..A Bowed like
ginger beet from a bottle well up, hut 111alpas would not go
down, yid . iva.dy round of 111... e miuutei was fought ; Strong
was thrusvir.
5. This was a spirited round of ten r-intites, but Malpas got
tired towards the e.-.4.50i and ht was well nobbed about by his
adv:r3aty's left hand 'sue strength bate sttorg down again.
4. Tie fight had 1,:ow Listed 23 mirutes, and from loss of
_ _

blood, And iilAas col.fused by hitting, :ti.dpas was br. ught down
to his adversary's_ wciaht, and Strong made use of the advan-
taga he held : in tins round he got over guard, whirl
was r.luch lowered, aau s'aopped him neatly by a round right-
' Ir..nded blow under the ear, and like all big men- when tired,
' the f.ll seemed to be as bad as the hits, and it was with difficulty
be was got up. .
.. lialpa made a charice rush, and C3nred his adversary by
a body blow, but this 5v35 his last.
6. Strong won the horde in this round by a left-handed hit
upon the throxt, v.hich brought V.alpas down forward, like a
hots e failing, and his asconds might as well have tried to lift a
treeas to get him up.
The battle was a game one of 29 minutes, and one man was
as u.ech too big as the other was toe lietk.

In a beautiful little Poem, entitled The Farmer's
Fiiion, written by the Right• lion. Lord ERSKINE,
chose object is to shew that birds,are useful to ve-
getation, there is the following delicate eulogy -on
;he late Duchess of YORK :
At Oatlands, where the buoyant air
Vast crowds of rooks can scarcely bear,
What verdure paints returning Spring!
What crops surrounding harvests bring!
Yet swarms on very tree are found,
Nor hear the fowler 's dreaded sound.
And when the kite's resistless blow
Dashes their seatter'd nests below,
Alarm'd they quit the distant field,
To seek the park's indulgent shit Id,
Where, close in the o'ershadowing wood,
'they build new cradles for their brood,
Secure, their fair Protectress nigh,
Whose bosom swells with sympathy !" •
• To this is affixed the following Noce :
si Amusing myself often with poetry, but, as I have said in
the preface, at no time aspiring to the name or character of a
Poet, I should never have regretted the insignificance of this
llttle fable, but for !he accidental-allusion in it to her Royal
1111ghness. The exalted rank and retired habits of this excellent
Princess, confining the knowledge of her talents, manners, and
slistinguisised accomplishments within the contracted circle of a
far, 1 amnia have been the more desirous to record them in
unfading numbers; but no man can add a obit to his stature,
and livist therefore content myself in this Note to express my
affection, admiration, and respect."
ANICDoTE.—A company of strolling players ban.
stg obtained leave to exhibit in a barn at Weybridge,
petitioned the Duchess of YORK tu honour the per-
formance with her presence; to which she consented,
and gave tickets to all her servants. Soon after, an
itinerant I\l.'thodist came to preach a charity sermon
in the same building (the barn), and application was
:gain made to the Duchess to visit the place, with
N‘ltich her Royal highness complied; but the servants
eesired to be excused, on the plea that they did not
Zinderstard English—" Oh!" said her Royal High-
" you had no objection to go to the comedy,
ul,.ich you understood much less, and so you shall
o to the sermon." The Duchess accordingly went
with all her train, and contt ibuted liberally on the
occasion, as well for them as for herself.—Percy

COURT OF CHANCERY, AUGUST H.

INFORMAL Fannon&
During the morning an individual diambisle, but
decent appearance, handed a written, paper to the
Lord Chancellor. The demeanour of Aso applicant
was extremely correct, and (contrary *the custom '
in such cases established) 4e said nothing in support
of his motion.
The LORD CHANCZLLOJkIpri will read this paper
to-night, but I am afraid -nothing can be done in it.l
Persons who come to the Court in this way, com-
monly attribute to a Jtidge powers which he really
does not possess.
On the Petitioner retiring his Lordship obser:ved,
that applications like the present were far too fre-
quent, and that, from The manner in which such Pe-
titions were drawn ttp, it was evident that they were
prepared by persons who knew that the Court could
not possibly act upon them. Those persons, how-
ever, did not forget. he was afraid, to charge their
unfortunate employers as well as to deceive them.
YORD FRAHM GODOLPHIN OSSORNR V. LORD COL-
GIIESTER, SIR RICHARD RICHARDS, LADY CHAR-

LOTTE ELIZABETH OSBORNE, AND OTHERS.
Mr. HORN applied to the Court under the follow-
ing circumstances :—The plaintiff, Lord Francis.
Osborne, was married in the year 1800 to the pre-
sent Lady C. E. Osborne, who was a daughter of
Lord Auckland. Previous-to that marriage a deed
was executed, by which a sum of 31'20,000, then due
to Lord F. Osborne from his brother, the Duke of
Leeds, was assigned to the late Archbishop of Can-
terbury, the late Lord Hobart, and the present de.
fendants, Lord Colchester and Sir Richard Richards
(Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer), upon trust
to lay out that sum either in mortgages or in such
other securities as they should think fit, as an accu-
mulating fund for the benefit of Lady Osborne and
of the younger children (if any) of the marriage.—
The fund was to continue to accumulate during the
joint lives of Lord F. Osborne and of Lady Osborne,,
until it should amount to £50,000 but if, during
the joint lives of those parties, it should increase to
that amount, then Lord F. Osborne was to be enti-
tled, during his life, to the current dividends or in-
terest arising from the fund. Lord F. Osborne, by.
4lis petition, now stated that the fund had increased
to L 68,000, and prayed that the overplus above the'
specified £50,000 might be laid out in such a man-
ner as he should desire; and that the interest arising
from-the whole amount, which was vested in the
3 per cent. Consols, might from time -to time be
paid to him.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR.—Who appears for the
trustees ?

Mr. MERRIICALE appeared for the defendants
(Lady Osborne and her children), who did not op-
pose the petitiqn.
Mr. SIMEON believed that the Attorney-General,
who was not in Court, appeared for the trustees.
The LORD CHAXCELLOR.—I will make no order
in this case, unless the trustees are before me. The
Chief Baron can decide the matter as well a; I can.

Mr. Stmeox.—Will your Lordship allow me to
hand up the opinion given by Sir Arthur Piggott?
The Lonn Cti A NCEL LO R.—No. If Lord Caches-
ter and the Chief Baron are satisfied with Sir Arthur
Piggott's opinion, why do they come here? In a
case where such authorities entertain doubt, I ought
to have that doubt before me. Suits shall not be in-
stituted here merely for the sake of asking my opi-
nion. As Counsel is not present on dn. part of the
trustees, let the petition stand over.,
