Tuesday afternoon a bull-bait took pine in Tothill-fields, which
afforded very little spurt to tit-el/114, as Inleu that? half an hour
atter the animal was fattened to gie stake, lie broke loose, and
immediately scampered, off, but without-injuring any person, al-1!
elEaugh • nemietallt Alseinigate was presets bo the occasion. •
• IItiXING.
OLTVDR AND PAINTER.
• Mach disappointment taken place in the sporting.clieles,
in conk quence of the match being off -between the above pugi-
lists, Oxivaa having found sureties to keep the peace for twelve
months before the Ma.tictrates at Worthip-street. In collie-
! quenee.of °Lava Rea apygghensipg, ho has sent the following Ad-
dress to the backers ot PAINTER/
TUOMAS OLIVER begs leave to Inform his friends and the
Public, that he regrets she disappointment of his combat with
PAINTER' not only as regards himself, but that.the amateurs
shoeki have bred disappointed. • Ottrea having been taken by
thee authority of a warrant, be is held in sureties to. keep the
peace. In Justlte to /dines and regard for his friends, he begs
leave to rate, that be is irt good training, and is ready to depart
either for Calais or Waterloo, the held of English glory."
It Is not publicly known by whose means the warrant was ob-
tained, but at Was the act of an individual who studied himself
more than a breach of the peace. PAINTER is as full of fight
as his adversary, and orders are expected from head-quarters
every hour, for the men to meet across the Channel, or to fight
on board a ship.

Monday se'nnight, as Captain STITT, of the sloop
Jobn and Catherine, lying at Kelton, near Dumfries,
was in the arc of slackening a rope from the stern,
the vessel swung suddenly to her head anchor, by
which movement he became entangled in the cordage,
was drawn with great violence into the water, and
drowned. His sin saw the accident, and leapt over-
• board to his father's assistance, but nearly perished in
his unavailing efforts to save his unfortunate father.
Saturday R. Edwards and his son, 15 years old,
went from Fake&id to Kessingland, Suffolk, to fish.
The wind blowing strong, and the tide being against
them, they made for Kessingland-beach ; when within
50 yards of the shore a. sea broke into the boat. and
upset .her. The lad then got on his father's back, as
he cculd-swim, but in an instant another wave swept
him off, and he was drowned. The father with dd.-
acuity reached the -shore.
Monday se'nnight, as the smack Ocean. from
London to Leith, was passing St. AbVs Head, in a
very heavy gide, a.smaLl fishing boat, which had been
driven out to sea by the violence of the wind, was
observed at a distance in the most imminent danger.
Captain NISBET'S', :with the humanity which charac-
terizesßritish seamen. immediately crtraded all sail,
and made towards the little bark, which he happily
Aueceeded in rescuing from impending destructi on.
The-crew. consisting of friar men and a boy, were
landed at Ityemoutli, amid the hearty gratulation' of
a great number of spectators.
It has been reported at Plymouth Dock, that or-
ders have been given to the different Dock yards, to
state.the following information ;,-How many ships
of the line can be got rtady and equipped for service
in case of an armament, at the shortest possible no.
tice, allowing men-to work the long hours, suffering

ployed with advantage ?—The Commissioners having
applied to Government for the use of one ut the square
Barracks,- as a temporary residence fur some of the
