BORING AT MOULSRY HURST.

At the close of Egham Races, on Thursday, those fond of
otilises sports had a rich treat in two gallantly contested battles,
whit& kept the amateurs till dark. The first was for a ,610
purse, between Joe Neat, the Kingston champion, and who had
merited well the title, and Bony Cooper, the fightlz;g Gipsy. ,Bed-
ford seconded the Gipsy, and Peler Saunders picked up Nash.
I. Nash made play, and drew the claret by a right-handed
blow upon his adversary's ear, and he followed up his success
and floored his antagonist.
2. A good fought round with mutual advantages. The Gipsy
drew third from his adversary's month; but in return Nash
involved his bead in chancery, and he kept it there till the end
of the fight.
S. The Gipsy broke from his adversary's right hand, and got
his left lute action, and it partially told, but Nash was too strong
and too active, and he threw his adversary.
4,5, and 6, were occupied in real lighting, In favour of Nasty

which completely exdbeguered him, and he floored the Gipsy by

The Gerry fought his best, but Nash has many hidden snail-
fications as a boxer, and he won it cleverly at last.
The second battle was fought between two as good little men
(unknown in the prize ring) as ever peeled. First-rate &edam,-
with unmuszled gait, was the order of the still. They were
known as Gingerpolo and I Ilaclecks. and the latter won it.

box : it was all upon the spare.

One of the Ranting Preachers, at Bolton-on-the-
Moors, lately addressed his auditors in the following
metaphorical language:
---e Ah ! I dare say you'd all pay to see a basing-match
between Bastmat. and Jdastent—yet you don't like to pay for
seeing a pitched battle between me and BeLwltult. Oh, my friends,

Na seem mune CILICYIDAW !—Saturday evening last, a shoe-
issober named Murphy, who resides on the Coal Quay, Cork,
went on boards boat about the size of that in which Chasse-
are O'Brien, of Barash, lately displayed so much naval skill.
Murphy's boat was aho built by himself, and is rather smaller
Om the Commodore's. The stern and gunwhsle, even with.
out freight, are scarcely three inches above the water, and int-
naediately on the adventurous shoemaker going on board, there
was a draught of more than six inches water in the hold. To
me the pump was quite useless • but on signals of distress being
Made in profusion, he was at last rescued from a watery grave,
to the great gratification of a cumber of spectators, who wit-
nessed the dreaded shipwreck. Himself and his boat were taken
oat of the water, and after thanking his deliverers he put his
bendy work quietly on his shoulder, and walked off.
Ittausers.—Yesterday afternoon an Inquisition was taken in
the Vestry Ball of St. John's, Horselydown, on view of the
body of James Allingbam, a feeble old man, the cause of whose
death we noticed in our Town Hall Police Report of yesterday:
Mr. May, the landlord at the Three Tuns, where the affray
took place • John 'Stamp, a labourer (whose testimonies we yes-
terday gave); and several other persons, were examined at con-
siderable length. They merely spoke to what passed in the
tap-room between the parties, and the subsequent examination
of the dead body of Allingham ; but bow the catastrophe was
produced none of them could tell.
Richard Waller stated, that he was a coachman in the employ
of Messrs. Barnes and Co. stage-coach proprietors, Deptford,
and plied on the Lower Road. On Wednesday night, about
ten o clock, or a little after that hour, he was driving up Back-
street, and at the corner, near the door of. the Three Tuns pub.

other, suddenly placed both bands on his opponent's breast, and
with all his force pushed bins from him. The man fell with
considerable violence quite close to the wheels of his (witness's)
coach, and would have been run over, had not he quickly pulled
up his hones. This man he knew was the deceased ; but be
fek great difficulty in swearing to the prisoner, as he only be-

him, but he could not swear to his person. The deceased, after
the fall, never spoke nor attempted to move, and he appeared
to all quite dead. Some people theu collected around, and wit.

In answer to some questions from the Jury, witness said that be
