The fight between Aral Green, a navigator, from Benson,
Oaon, and Crowther, who lately fought with Cart, took place
on Medley Moors, on the borders of Bucks, the men having
took flight thither from the neighbourhood of Dorchester, to
avoid an enemy, a dibtanee of more than twelve miles. Youth,
gaiety, and courage, were the prominent qualifications of the
'nen, and they made a gallant fight. Crowther was seconded by
Young Bell-korse, the wrestler, and Green by T. abbot. It was
for 80 guineas : the company was immense.
The first round lasted twelve minutes; the combatants turned
' to rather too much int and threw away several round but heavy
blosys, until Green knapped a staggerer on the temple, which
dropped him on his knees. He however *hewed that his mettle
was sprung, and he jumped up and renewed fighting; sonic
heavy hits were exchanged, and the blood flew in all directions.
Crowther received a heavy fall, which closed the round, but he
was backed at S to 4.

2. Crowther was hit down by a blow on the left side, which
rattled his ribs and milled a groan out of him.
3. A terrible round, in which a dozen heavy awkward blows
‘,ere exchanged. Green bad never ceased to bleed copiously
from the lacerated temple, and he paid his antagonist In this
round by a heavy hit on the ear. which drew claret from it in-
wardly. They fought away until both dropped with distress,
and neither could appear to time.
A consultation here took place, and the umpire recommended
the battle to be drawn; as they were both much beat in the
twenty-two minutes they bad fought—but the backers, confident
in the pled of their men, were for fighting on, and, after five
I.linutes bre.ohing, they turned to again.
4. A manly round and a good rally, vixen each kept the
claret flying. In a close, Crowther 'hewed mast strength by
throwing.

6. Green was beat by a fall, after having the best of a good
round ; he fell upon the side of his head.

Last night same fellows broke open the shop of a poor shoe-
mender, the bottom of Church-passage, Fenchnrch-street, and
stripped it of all its contents, to the total ruin of the poor man,
who for the last 20 years has been an inhabitant of the premises.
CORN•EXCHANGIL, ,eats. 19.—Having but little fine Wheat
left ovtr ft um Monday's supply, and but few fresh arrivals this
morning, prune samples fully support that day's prices, but. the
demand was trifling for the ordinary qualities. The Harley
trade was not so brisk as on Monday, having, but few buyers at
market to-day ; and several cargoes having art ived from Suffolk.,
which were not of fine qu.ility. they met heavy sale. In Brans,
Peas, and Oats, no alteration, but they met a dull sale at Mon-
dn's prices.

It is astonishing with what secrecy and industry
the Proclamations of Rebellion, bearing date at Glas-
gow on the Ist of April ilfstant, (tor the discovery
and apprehension of the Traitors concerned in pub-
lishing which a Royal reward of 500 pounds is now
ordered) were circulated, especially in. the extensive I
and remote district of Carrick. Every where, and
upon every road, these had been stuck up on the
most conspicuous places before the dawn of the fol-
lowing Monday, without leaving a trace, which, so
far as we know, has hitherto led to the detection of
any person guilty of this daring crime.
At Girvan, the Magistrates of the town finding
that a great proportion of the Operatives were de-
sisting from work and collecting in crowds on the
streets, and requiring their neighbours to follow their
example, very judiciously sent expresses to the De-
puty-Lieutenants and Justices of the Peace, to in-
form them of the impending danger. Those nearest
repaired immediately to the town, without arms or
attendance, and having chosen Mr. Fergusson, senior,
Preses,Jie commenced a precognition, after the Pro-
clamations }fad been taken down by their own hands
without resistance.
The Magistrates, Town Council, and Constables of
Girvan, were all in the meantime assembling, and as
there was not a single man in arms under the a9tho-
ri4 of the law in the placts, ear within twenty milei.
qf it, after this preparation it was judged the wise. t
course to proceed to the Parish Church, throw open
the doors to the whole inhabitants, and ring the bell
to consfene them, there to hear from the Magistrates
their opinion of what was passing, their resolutions as
to the performance of their own duty, and their ad-
vice and directions to the people at large. The
Church was soon filled ; but, to the honour of the
women of Carrick, neither at Girvan nor at any
other place of that district, so far as we have heard,
did a single wife or daughter appear in any of the
assemblages of that day. When the people met,
they were firmly told, that the publication of the
Address of the Committee of Organization was an
act of rebellion, and a capital offence ; that the Ma-
gistrates of the town and district would instantly exe-
cute the law against all offenders, at the hazard of
their lives, relying en the support of the loyal, without
military force, unless compelled by violence to desist
—that a patrol was formed of the constables and
loyal inhabitants, who would apprehend all disor-
derly persons, until the workmen returned to their
labours—that while the alarm subsisted all must keep
their hoeses after nine. at night, except when neces-
sarily called from home—an; that innkeepers and
setters of lodgings would be held responsible to give
an account of all strangers they admitted, and li-
censes would be withheld from the former if theft
should fail in this duty. To all this no one ven-
tured to make any opposition. The directions were
fully obeyed. The town became, and has remained
perfectly peaceful, and all those who had been thrown
idle returned to their industry. Nor has there since
been any appearance of disorder. Similar measures,
we understand, have produced nearly the same effect
throughout the whole of Carrick.
. The Sheriffs, and many of the other Magistrates
In 'the County of Ayr, have been much engaged
'during the week, investigating the proceedings of the
Radicals. Information having been received that
arms had been applied for and obtained on various
pretences, at different places, and the matter being
investigated, a Proclamation by the Sheriff was
issued, for the guidance of those to whom such il-
legal applications have already been or may here-
after be made. Written notices have appeared
about Beith, threatening the workmen who did not
desist from working in terms of the treasonable
placard. This matter was likewise inquired into
by the SheriC and Thomas Richmond, weaver in
Beith, was, in consequente, apprehended and in-
carcerated in Ayr Jail. A Meeting having taken
place at the Waterside of Galston, at which some
illegal proceedings took place, a warrant was granted
against those who took the most active part in
the proceedings, and John Cuthil, senior, weaver in
Galston, was apprehended and incarcerated also in
Ayr Jail. The other persons implicated have ab-
sconded. We have just learned that twenty persons
were on Wednesday taken into custody in Mauchline,
and are under examination there. Twelve of them
are understood to have been Members of the Com-
mittee of Radicals formed in that place. They are
guarded by a detachment of the 4th Royal Veteran
Battalion, which left Ayr on Thursday morning for
that purpose, and by a party of Yeomanry Cavalry.
GREENOCK, APRIL 14.
FROM THE GREENOCK ADVERTISER.

The necessity is forced upon us of reverting to the
melancholy occurrences in this town on Saturday
last, by the publication, in contemporary Journals of
some exaggerated, false, and highly reprehensible 4e-
tails ..relative. to these events. In almost any °din,
'case, such statements might be suffered to pass un-
regarded, in the consciousness that the truth must
ultimately prevail; but, on, this peculiar and lament-
able occasion, we would be wanting in our duty to
the Pablic, and to ourselves, if we failed to expose
them to the censure they merit; and, after the ample
information given in our last, no one particular of
which we have since seen the slightest cause to cor-
rect, few, we believe, will venture to question our
competence to the task. _ -

In the Glasgow Chronicle of Tuesday, the Editor
thought proper to give (what he called) .c A Correct
Narrative of the Melancholy Affair," setting up a
tissue of misrepresentations; for, from that part of
the recital which speaks 'of the entrance of the' Vo-
lunteers into the town, to the conclusion, we • can
hardly discover one accurate assertion.
It is said, that the Volunteers, on coming up to the
jail to lodge their prisoners, were beguiled past a
parry by the mob. It is altogether absurd, to, sup-
pose that the natives of a town three miles distant
could be misled, in the centre of Greenock, by any
one; besides, there is no quarry within half a mile of
the spot mentioned)—The subsequently-mentioned
assault at the jail is equally false. Two or three
small stones, or rather, it is believed, pieces of turf,
were. wuntonly thrown among the Volunteers, by
mischievous boys; and these, we solemnly assert,
were all that could constitute the Chronicle's furious
assault, at that point of the affray. " From the
squire to the foot of Cathcart-street, the 'hob," says

the account, 'a
cons tinned to itleiiask throwing stone*;
bottles, &c. from windows and closes." All this is
tomparativelt false; and, since we must speak td
particulars; we declare, II 0111 all the evidence in our
possession, there is tie prbof that there were a dozen
Missiles of I Y kind throw into the ranks before the -
firinl at the gue-enek Two messengers, sent for,
war to apprise the Magistrates of, the prisoners'
coming, were, it is said, rusaulted, and forced to seek
shelter, on their return, from the Int, of the mob.
This is the first time we have heard of this molesta-
tion, and we should have heard of it sooner, we think,
had it occurred to the extent stated. It is true, that
' had n, t many of the shots been fired over head, " the
slaughter must have been dreadful." We know that
very many of the Volunteers did not fire at all ; we
know 'that the Officers distinguished themselves by
their Fereveritz humanity in checking those who*,.
did, or wished to fi:e ; and we farther know, that the
Setjeant Major, who wrote some of the accounts, and
who see believe to be a worthy man, was himself unl
remitting in this laudable endeavour, and has, more-
over, been the greatest. personal sufferer of the nouns
in the affray. , But badly as we think of the conduct
displayed by the mob when once Mini iated, we can-
nbt go along with him in his prejudgment,• that.;
