Round 1. Roth men were ;;r; anxious to make play. The Snob
looked pale, but wistful ; whilst his antagonist, Hill, eyed hint.

awake, kept Johnson for some time at a stand. At last both let fly,
and Johnson drew the first blood from his adversary ; but in a does
he was thrown, and fell undermost. 4tol on Hill.
2. Hill put in ■ pretty smart left-hander on Johnson's know-
ledge.box, who returned the complimeneou his favourite spot with
the right. However, Johnson received a body blow, which was
afterwards found to have broken one of his ribs; he was In&
ciently master of Month to watch an opportunity of giving Hill the
first knock-down blow. When Johnson commenced to feel the
injury be had received,he was forgiving in; but his second, Gayeties
encouraged him to proceed with the fight.
3. The Snob had bellows to mend. Hill, who had not at: Tee

Foamy INTWEIN ROCIENS AND BAILAT.—A pugilistic contest foe
AV.S a.side, between these tWO heroes of flak trotoriety, to place
at Newport, on Monday last. Rogers, known in the sing as the
Hereford Cbkkeu, had already distinguished himself. but the odds
were in favour of Bailey two to one. The men fought thirty-two
rounds with mutual advantage; bat in the last set-to Bailey gave
Ituers a tremendous fall, which rendered him deaf to '• time."
The battle lasted 48 minutes. Bailey is a Mister; niau,anal was once
vanquished by Cabbage.—Brietel Mercury.

Yrsterday an Inquest was held at the British Lion, on
view of the body of Mr. D.aper, aw tradesman residing
in ReJ Cross street, S 'uthwark. From the evidence,
it appeared that on Saturday last the deceased called at
the house of a Mrs. Lee, Carter street, Red Cross street.
where he supped, and, between them eerholisl'ed a
pound and a half of chuck steaks ; the deceased having
eaten the greater portion of the meat, washed it down
with a pint of beer. After supper Mrs. Lee, having
occasion to go out, • left her guest sitting by the fireside
in Ins usual health, and on her return. which was in less
than five minutes, she found him lying extended along
the parlour; and at first, conceiving he was joking, she
called upon him to rise off the floor, but the poor man
was insensible to the call, and on the arrivals f a surgeon,
the deceased was found to be lifeless. His death hav-
ing been produced by a sudden ratiaek of apoplexy and
paralysis, a verdict to that effect was recorded.

any former period. Nankeens are very dull of sale
(owing, in a great degree, to the season), and fustian
also are much depressed. Same of the printers are very
busy, and in other lines there is a good business doing.
On the %hole, trade, we believe, is mar as it usually
is at this time of the year. We may safely infer that
it is not so bad as we have often known it, since there
are few, if any, of the labouring classes out of work.—
The cotton market has undergone some reduction this
week, (minis, it is said, to the new crop appearing likely
to come forward decidedly earlier than usual. It is
under stood to be very large in quantity, and the u lands
are very clear and bright in colour ; some of the sam-
ples appear rather deficient in staple, probably from
having been pluck. d before they were fully ripe.—

EITRAORDINARY ABSTINEVCE OF A DOO.—When
the repairs were last going on at St. Paul's Cathedral a
dog followed its master up the dark stairs of the dome.
Here all at once it was missing, and calling and whist-
ling was to no purpose. Two months . fter this some
men were at work in the Cathedral, and heard amongst
the timbers which support the dome a faint noise. They
instantly repored to the spot whence the sound came,
and found a dog lying oo ►ts side, with air old slice half
eaten. The animal being much emaciated, and scarcely
able to stand, the workmen placed it ►n the porch of the
Church to die or live as it night happen. The yeast
day. the dog was seen crossing Fleet market, and by the
aid of the houses it reached its master's house io Red
Lion street, Holborn, where it soon reco•ered. It i•
supposed the animal lived during the two months it was .
in the Cathedral upon its own offspring, being in vaselp
whoa lost, and afterwards on the old shoe, wttkb 'M
more gm bolt devoured.
