ISONING.-SHELTON AND CARTER.

Tuesday was a day of real business among the high-mettled
fanciers of the nulling school. After the sparring match there
was a dinner at the Brown Bear, Bow-street, when the second
deposit was made between Randall and 3fortin. By eleven
o'clock Bacchus claimed the chair anal jollity prevailed. Every
man was sweet upon himself, and to keep talent on the alert, a
purse of 'EEO was subscribed for two of the gasmen present
(Shelton. and Carter) to fight for. " Not here," said the host,
" I must have you gentlemanly," and the company retired to
' another place ;or the mill. Oliver seconded Shelton, and Burn
officiated for Carter. _

In the first round Carter went at his adversary with much
gaiety, and counter hits were exchanged ; but both wanted the
ruigh edge off their exertions to do much execution, and after a
scrambling round both went down.
2. Carter received a flush left-handed facer, which he returned
upon the body of his antagonist, and after a smart rally the
men closed. Carter made a slip, and Shelton got his head under
the left arm, and weaved upon him successfully, then threw him
a heavy fail, which groggifted him, and set his ogles blinking.
3. Shelton availed himself of his adversary's distress by this
fall, and pounced in upoin and floored him by a heavy hit on
the side of the head, which won the fight.
This casual turn-up will lead to a very interesting fight, as
Carter it seems can be backed for 100 guineas, and Shelton's
friends are ready with their bustle.—There will be much diver-
sity of opinion upon the match.

A shocking accident happened yesterday morning
about eight o'clock: as Mr. ANDERSON, a respect-
able Solicitor, was coming to town, walking his horse
very leisurely, a dog rushed out, and either frightened
or bit his horse, which caused him to start back, and
by the sudden motion Mr. ANDERSON was thrown
over his horse's head. When taken up he was con-
veyed to Mr. Horkins's, the Surgeon, near Cambridge
Heath turnpike, and on examining him the back part
of his head was found to be dreadfully fractured : he
was conveyed home, and died at ten o'clock last
Inight, leaving a wife and numerous family.
Isovvsrs.—Yesterday Inquests were held at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, on the bodies of Frederick
Collins, aged 13, and .Joseph Martin, aged 12, who
died in consequence of the explosion at Mr. Cubitt's,
in Grays-Inn-lane-road, as mentioned in yesterday's
Star. The poor boys were dreadfully burnt, and suf-
fered the most excruciating torture previous to their
dissolution.—Verdict, " Accidental Death."—An ad-
journed Inquest was held yesterday at the Savoy Pa-
lace public-house, Strand, to make further enquiry
concerning the dead body which was found in pos-
session of Dr. Lloyd, on Saturday evening last, on
Waterloo-bridge. Several witnesses were minutely
examined, among whom was the porter who had been
employed to 'carry the corpse.—The Jury, without
hesitation, returned the following verdict—" That the
deceased had died a natural death, and that the body
had been procured for the purpose of dissection."
PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—Yesterday afternoon, as
a cart was backing to receive some earth from the
workmen who are digging for a foundation for some
new houses, in Bury-street, St. James's, the top gave
way and precipitated horse and cart into the hole,
where a great number of men were employed. For-
tunately no person was hurt. The cart was much
shattered, and the horse, a very 6ne one, had both
his fore legs broken, and was otherwise sp much
hurt, that he was ob.iged to be killed.
