bOok place, yesterday, on Epping Forest. between !em Brown, a
innt-road Fly-driver. and Bill Owen; dins Raff, a Adkey, from the
NOM of the West, for .C. 5 a-side. The men were nearly of a
weight—about ten stone—and met to settle a prefessiartat quarrel.
'The muster of their partisans was very numerous, and a ►etter, or
a more manly exhibition, bas seldom been witnessed The superior
science and tact of Brown enabled him to take and keep the lead
from first to last. He fought quite in the Dick Curtis style, nobb.

right au! left. I■ twelve rounds, and twenty-five minutes, B. 0.

reaived the hearty congratulations of his friends, and pfangees to
be a star of the first magnitude among the light weights.

The hour is come, the Leech is In his chair,
Throw wide the doors, and bid the first come in,
It is Dispensary Day I The narrow stall
Is thronged, as was Bethesda's strand of yore,
With sufferers of every kind and aliment;
Young, old, lame, blind, female and male all meet
Prescient of succour, brooding o'er their woes,
And conning how they best may paint their pains!
With skilful air, and aspect sharp, the Leech
Takes up his pen, turns • er a Book, and studies.
The first approaches, with an awkward bow,
Letter in hand, of printed warranty,
Signed by subscriber, setting forth name, age,
And each st cetera, " How, bow, Goodman Roger !
" Is it you! Why, what ails you, old heart?'
" Pains in the back, an please you." " Is It so?"
" You have a family—a large °Ger “ yes!"
" And used to labour r Aye, from morn till night!"
• " Food of strong beer, too?" 0 Mainly drink three quarts !"
" Marry ! I wonder not then at your pains !
" But take you this ; an it stir not your ribs
o" Why then there is no virtue left in Meath.
" Begone I and see me sir nest public day.
" CAme—for the next. Who's here? Eh, damsel Alice,
" And not well yet ?" Ne, Sir; my old complaint,
Trembling, heart-htunings, want of sleep at night,
" Failure of appetite, and loss of spirits.
Turn round your face; Why, aye, thou behest pale!
" Hag thou a sweetheart ?" " La, Sir !" " Nay, codas it."
" There's Harry I" " Aye, he keeps your-company,
▪ Does he net r Yes!" then marry, and be well.
" Rh, more ! come, mother, tell me your complaint ;
'4 Illness, no doubt ?" " Lard, Sir; I've had the Pinker."
" Aye' and grew worse !" " He gave me store of drugs,
O And when my gold was gone," " He sent you here!'
• Just so." "It is their customary wont ;
" They deluge you with drugs, to drain your parse ;
" They find your ailing., and they make you ill,
" Then all their study is to keep you so,
" Until your veins and stores be emptied out ;'
" Bloodless your body—pennyless your pocket—
" Which wrought, they send you for our gratis aid,
" And leave us to undo what they have done !
a Sq will it even be, While they have sufferance
" To act the Leech's part, who are his servants,

" Why do not our grave lawgivers ordain
" These traders to their place—their gallipots,
" Their drugs, their philtres, and their phatruaey ?
" Nor let them traffic thus with life and health,
" Marring tbeir practice, who could else mar them.
" Begone! take no more physic, make goad meals,
" Keep yourself warm, live temperately, duly

" No aid but what the cupboard can afford;
" Shut to the doors, I'll hear no more to day ;
" Throw physic to the dogs, for I am sick on't."

contains the address of ROIECT Owe., the proprietor of that com-

the dificukies he has experienced in carrying his project into effect,
and the causes of its failure. He has sold a part, and leased out the
remainder of his property at New Harmony to communities on a
' small scale, and thinks that on this plan his hopes of success will in
some measure be realized. He recommends to these he leaves be-

Sunday, the Rev. Mr. FLETCHER, of London, hay-
ing given public intimation of his intention to preach in Leith
Links that forenoon, and on the Calton Hill in the evening,
the Magistrates subsequently published a notice prohibiting him
from so doing. The Rev. Gentleman, however, having obtained
the authority of the tackunan of the Royal Parks, held forth in the
forenoon to a very crowded audience in Comb Park, east of Gibral-
tar House, and at the conclusion of his sermon gave notice that be
would preach again In the same place at six in the evening. A great
crowd of people assembled in consequence, but the discourse was
cut short about seven o'clock by
.1 heavy shower. The rolling of
distant thunder, and a congregation of sultry and broken clouds
over bead, warned many of the approaching rain; but the greater
part, we believe, remained till the sinister came down, when Air. F.
suddenly stopt his discourse, and his auditory dispersed much more
speedily than the heat of the weather would otherwise base made
convenient.

LAW INTELLII3ENC •
COURT. OF CHZCRRY, Jinx 28.
At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. HRALD
requested that a petition in the matter of Lord Ports-
mouth's lunacy might be put in the paper, for the pur-
pose of being heard on Friday rantning. The petition
related to the renewal of a lease, which depended upon
the life of a very aged person ; and if the matter was
cot heard on an early day, it was feared the property
would be lost.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, if the matter was likely
to take up any time, it would be inconvenient to have
it heard on Friday, as it would interrupt the appeals;
but he had no objection to its being put in the paper
for Saturday.
Mr. HEALD applied for leave to bring on a motion
for a new trial in the case of the Bing 0. The Corpora-
lion of Huntingdon.
Mr. SWORN said, he did not see any reason why the
motions for nelv trials should have precedence of the
regular business of the Court. He had a number -of
motions which required immediate attention; but, in
consequence of these matters taking up three or four
days, he found it quite impossible to bring any of them
forward.
Mr. SHADWRLL observed, that he had been endea-
vouring, for some time past, to bting on a motion for
a new trial in a case of Williams v. Bacon, which had
stood ever for some months; and as it was a case of a
very pressing nature, considering the Assizes were fast
approaching, he trusted, as his Learned Friend, Mr.
Heald, who opposed him, was then in Court, that his
Lordship would give precedence to this case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that, from the littleez;
perience he had in this Court, he found it was a very
difficult thing to bring on motions, in consequence of
some cases extending to such an immoderate length;
but as the matter mentioned by Mr. Shadwell seemed
to have been pending for a considerable time, he consi•
dered it entitled to precedence.
