DUDLEY DOWNS.

FIGHT BETWEEN 808 YANDELL AND

The match between these candidates for knuckular
Lime was appointed to come off yesterday ; and the tos
for choice of place having been won by the (fiends of,
Dudley Downs, they named the neighbourhood Of
Wingfield Plain, beyond Windsor, as the point of ren
devour. This choice was guided, first, by its proximity
to Dudley's training quarters ; and next, from a desire
to give the host of the New Inn, at Siaines—a great
favourite with the sporting circles—a strong turn—
The men are not of high consequence in the Pugili,tic
Calendar, but still they had their admirers; and al-
though they fought for but 251. aside, the event become
a very prolific source of betting, Dudley being the
favourite at five and six to four.

Yandell, who is a carpenter by trade, last fought
with and beat Crayfer ; while Downs, wbo is a " man
of letters," otherwise a compositor in a printing office,
was not so fortunate; for in his late fight with Jack
Tisdall, his fount was so much bsttered, and his upper
and lower cases so much knocked into pie, that some
time was necessary again to place his form in working
order. On that occasion it was said he was not in con
dition; and due allowance being made by his typo pal,
for the etrors of a first proof, his .econd trial, or revise,
was regarded as likely to place him in a more lel e:t•
able light. Both men had trained with great industry,
and no pains were spared to improve their physical
powers ; but by those who had an opportunity of mak-
ing the comparison, it was discovered that Yandell had
the advantage in weight by a full stoi.e, and this tact of
itself was sufficient to induce many to take the odds,
which was freely offered.
The mot :sing of yesterday was both foggy and fmsty,
and to this conjunction of disagreeables may, pethaits,
be attributed the absence of the usual muster of
•the
Fancy Coves, for we seldom wiatessed so tiiin an as-
semblage.
Yan.iell took the road at an early hour under tt.e
aospices of Jens Burn, and proceeded to the insure•
diate vicinity of Wingfield, where in a convenient
meadow the rin4 was formed. As the day advanced
Dudley Do tens followed his example, and by otie o'clock
the combatants and their partizans reached the scene of
,action, there being at this time scarcely sufficient spec •

rators to form a single line round a very moderate sized
circle. The sun at this hour shone sir it
and the men lo.t no time i•i shying t sir ca-tors and
reel;ng for action. The moment they were <tripped,
the superior niu•cle and weight or Yandell was so
obvious, that all foresaw Dudley had up hill work to
perform, and his chance of success was lo7ilcrd as rather
" Dicirry." Nev. 'tireless his game and well known
science kept the confluence of his friends alive ; ani
several bets at even money were laid. linden was
attended by Jem Burn and Jack Carter, and Downs by
Reuben Al.trtin and Tom (Lipner.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Coors was held at Guildhall, for the
dispatch of a great deal of public business.
COMMUNICATION FROM MR. TEAL Wink 11111PiCT TO

THE POLICE.
A letter from the Secretaty of State for the Home
Department to the Court of Aldermen was read in
Court. It contained a proposition, which appeared to
be upon the first glance a very equitable one, but the
Court begged leave, respectfully, to decline it. Mr.
Peel required to know whether the Court would permit
warrants for the apprehension cf persons accused of
crimes, to be available in the City of London without
being backed by a City Magistrate ? The proposal was
accompanied with a condition that all warrants issued
by any Members of the Court of Aldermen should
have effect in all parts of the country, without being
backed by a Magistrate of the County in which the
individual sought for happened to be.
There was an unanimous feeling in the Court against
coilcuiring in this proposition, and it was determine
without hesitation to reject a measure which would be
so decidedly an infringement of the privileges of the
Citizens nt London.
An answer in accordance with this feeling was then
tcolved upon, and the proper officer was directed to
transmit it to the Secretary.

Previous, hriwever, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it

to demise the grosser nature from those impurities which the free.

neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless

Luxurious habits will effeminixe the bodyill residence in the

CORONER'S INQUESI'.

!
•
i,

Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, Toos.SHRLTON.
Esq. the City Coroner, and a re.pectable Jury. assembled
in the Commilee Room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
for the purpose of holding an Inquest on the bodies of
two children, one of whom, a fine hide girl, five years
old, named Eliza Hughes, was accidentally bur, t to
death while playing with the fire. The other was a
case of natural death.

Just as the Jury were about to be sworn, the porter
of the Hospital entered the room, and informed the
Comfier that both the bodies had been stolen from the
deAd.house on the preceding night. On examiling the
place this morning lie found the lock forced and broken,
and out of six bodies which lay there the above two had
been carried away; he also found a ladder placed
against the wall of the yard, by the help of which the
thi. f had no doubt effeLted his net.irious purrite.
Juror fin great astonishment)-1 thtught you had a
privote watchman on duty night and day to guard the
premises.
Porter—SO we have, S'r ; but the depredator must
have eluded his vigilance, by concealing himself in some
of the dark avenues, and watching his opportunity.
Juror—This is a very singular case; will you undt-r•
t,ke to :Ay now that neither of the bodies are in the
theatre belonging to this establishment for the purpo e
of being dissected?
Yorter—l can positively assert they are rot, for I
myself have searched the theatre.

'7

CORONER—If bodies are to be carried off in this woe.
I am at a loss to know of what use is pint private
watchman—it is a mere farce. To whom does the iatl•
der belong which you say you found against the wail
which encloses the premises?
Porter—To the Hospital, Sir.
Comonna—lndeed ! it seems to have been left some•
where very handy for the purpose. I should like much I,
to know also what the watchman was about while VA,
robbery was coing forward.
Porter—He knows nothing of it. Sir ;it was no doubt '
done in a twinkling by a person who knew the pea
raises well.

Coat:ma—No question about it; but we must mak*
a little thole inquiry into this strange affair.
The mother of the little girl, who appeared over.
whelmed in grief, begged the Coroner to assist her it
recovering the body of her poor child, which be pro•
mired to do; and here the matter rests for the pre►ent.

N THE MORNING OF LILE, when the blantlieh-
ntents of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil
more to be lamented than wondered a., if, in the vortex of decep-
tive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against the laws of nature pays
in lonely disappointment a fearful exaction for his rebellion, in the
compromise of his mental as well as bodily powers. To all per-
sons so circumstanced as to require the profeuional aid of men of
experience, whose time has been for twenty years studiously and
successfully devoted to the complaints arising from nervous de.
bility,whether natural or acquired. GOSS and Co. proffer the most
consolatory assurances. The youth who has enervated his frame by
the strangely fascinating sin, which the poor victim of folly will
too readily comprehend without further description, may find re-
lief from his misery, and be kindly taught to regain his lost place
in the scale of creation. The sufferer who, from another extreme
of indulgence has, with unbashful forehead, wooed debility. may
learn to renovate nature and repair his abused constitution. The
man of pleasure exposed to and suffering from Lues Venerea,
however aggravated by malpractice of the quack. or the conceal-
ment from diffidence, may hod a certain restoration ; and finally
in cases where the delay of a connubial pledge has almost extended
disappointment to dispair, they offer to the married female those
lopes which she can reasonably appreciate.
Remedies can he forwarded to any part of the world ; Patients

CONVIVIAL HABITS of the SCOTTISH BAR.

From vol. 3d of Waverley Novels.
The account given by Mr. PierlA of his sitting
down in the midst of a revel to draw an appeal case. was takes
from a story told me by an aged padernau, of the elder President
Dudes of Arulates (father of the younger President. and of Lord
kielofile). It bad been thought very desirable, while that disdn-
Wished lawyer was King's Counsel, that his asshtanse should be
'babied in drawing an a ease, which, as occasion for such
writlnp then rarely was held to be master of great nicety.
The fidArthor employed for the appellant, attended by my inform-
ant, acting as his clerk. went to the Lord Advocate's chambers, is
the Mals-marlest Close, as I think. It was Saturday, at noon ;
the Court was jest dismissed, the Lord Advocate had changed his
dress and booted himself, and his servant and his horses were at
foot of the close to tarry him to Arniston. It was scarcely pos-
sible to get him to listen to a word respecting business. The
wily agent, however, on pretence of asking one or two questions,
which would not detain him half an hoer, drew his Lordship,
who was no less an eminent boos shoot than a lawyer of unequalled
talent, to take a whet at a celebrated tavern. when the Learned
Counsel became gradually involved in a spirited discussion of the
law points of the case. At length it occurred to him that he might
as well ride to Arniston in the cool of the evening. The horses
were directed to be put in the stable, but not to be unsaddled.
Dinner was ordered, the law was laid aside for a time, and the
bottle circulated very freely. At nine o'clock at night, after be
had been honouring Bacchus for so many hours. the Lord Advo-
cate ordered his hori.es to be unsaddled—paper, pen, and ink were
brought—and continued at his task till four the seat morning. By
next day's post the Solicitor sent the case to London. a chef-d'oeuvre
of its kind; and in which, my informant assured me, it was not
necessary on revisal to correct live words. I am not, therefore,
coosdous of having overstepped accuracy in describing the manner
in which the Scottish lawyers of the old time occasionally united
the worship of Bacchus with that of Themis. My informant was
Alexander Keith, Esq grandfather to my friend, the present Sir
Alexander Keith, of Ravelstone, and apprentice at that time to
she writer who conducted the cause.

THE WEATHER.

THE agourrs PAIL
Yesterday the Lakes, with which the scenery of this
beAutiful Park is diversified, were crowded with an kn.
mense number of the Nobility and Gentry of the neigh-
bourhood, to.witness or enjoy the healthful pleasure of
skaiting, the whole surface of the lakes being com-
pletely and strongly frozen over. The different en
trances to the inclosed ground were thrown open to
admit respectable people of all classes, with free ingress
and cress till nearly six o'clock in the evening.

THE SERPENTINE RIVER.

Yesterday for several hours we had a brilliant sun—
this invited every one abroad, and Hyde Park was the
resort of old and young—the gay and the valetudi
narian. At two P.M. the banks of the river presented
a spectacle seldom seen; vast crowds were promenad-
ing along the shore on the south side, and lines of fa-
shionable vehicles were moving in the Park. On the
ice there could not be less than ten thousand people ;
and among them were grouper of fashionable. with
their attendant beaux. The skaiters were numerous,
but the n►ajnr part were bad performers. There were
three circles lor the figure movements on the north
side ; and there might be on the whole about a dozen
who excelled ; but the only one whom we could dis-
cover possessing the science of the Old School, was the
Honourable Frederick Byng, of the Torrington family.
The ice was good where it was swept, and as firm as
a rock. ♦ little alarm was occasionally excited among
the Ladies by a loud crack, and the water oozing up;
this atose•frons injudiciously crowding together on one
spot. The effect of. the bridge at Kensington Gardens
was very striking, covered as it was with lookers-on—
die skaiters passed right through to the other piece . f
' water, and thence they proceeded to the Pal ace. The
display of bibesian furs in muffs, tippets, and bosom
' friends. exceeded any thing of the kind we have for
many years witnessed.

" At a Quarter Sessions of the Peace at Taunton, in Somerset-
shire ( 1716), Ahoy Hatiii/tort, otherwise Chlees, other-
wiw George Harratifon, was tried for pretending herself a man, and
marrying fourteen wives; the hit of which, Mary Price, deposed
in Cowl that she was married to the prisoner, and beihted and
lived as man and wife a quarter of a year, during which time she
thought the prisoner a man, owing to the prisoner's vile and de-
ceitful prac ices. After a debate on the nature of the crime, and
what to call it, it was agreed that she was an uncon ttttt ot note-
dom.; cheat, and sentenced to be publicly whipped in • Taunton,
Glastoubury. Wells, and Sbepton Mallet ; to be imprisoned for
six mouths; and to find security for her good behaviour for so lung
time as the Justices at the next Quarter Sessions should think St.'•

ROYAL STAG HUNT.

An almost unparalleled cbace took place lag week. At half
past eleven o'clock rather a small bind was turned down on leer
Heath, and with less than ten minutes law the hound. merrily
atatted with a good scent through Black Park and Upton Wood,
over Weakens Heath and S oke Common nearly to the Park; then
turned to the right to Hedgerley furze, through Hedgerley Palk
and Beleirode Park, be a hue towards ikaconsbeld, where leaving
Wilton Park, close t.e the left, she ran over the hills to the river
between Chaltunt St. Peter and Chalfont St. Wes. towards New-
' lands; thence to Maple Cross, and crowed the Collie and Canal
near the Copper Mills at Harefield, through the Park and over the
en towards Moor Park; but, turning rather short to the
right, ran over Midget Hill farm on to Ruislip Cure, mitt pasaing.
the great reservoir, went away to &stem, and from thence to.
wards Stanmore, where she was headed once more, and finally taken
at'Hatt ow Weald; where this gallant little animal was seemed
wlthout the least injury, at the expiration of three hours. A more
satisfactory three hours run I never witnessed. The only drawback
from the day. amusement was °weed by the ignorance of a select
few, who ought to have known betteer than to press vu the hounds
when crossing cold scenting ground, thereby driving them beyond
..coonTn,
the scent, and causing a check.
