MATCH-111111INO, AND A NISTARR FOR Thi Cli.i3lFlON-
slur or Mit.Lana.—'l'uesilay was the day appointed for
making the stakes of 100 guineas aside for the fight be-
tween Spring and Robert Burns, on the Bth Instant, and
the same was made good over all the good things real
caterers could find. These attain seldom happea with-
out a tars up, and Carter, who has jest arrived in Lon-
don from Ireland, pompously exclaimed in the room,
that he won't' light any man in the world. The surly
old champion of England, Toni Cribb, treated his bra-
vado very contemptuously, and Carter, on being railed
to order from the Chairs threw a glass of wine in the
Chairman... face. Cribb was the Deputy, and, by way
of supporting decorum, inuarled him. The Champion
had only our round, that would have bees a *kart our,
but Cribb kept his adversary up, and 'pilled hip iu the
said round worse than a cosassomer vsobl. bass served
him in half an hour.

, Several instances of the hardship, end sty the
feathered tribe, during the present inclement season,
' have °el-tired. The most remarkable happened the
other day. when a blackbird flew for sustenance into •
1 gentleman's kitchen in the neighbourhood of Kelso. ks
natural timidity had, however, prevented its making this
last effort for relief till too late, as it almost iostautly,
from hunger and exhaustion, expired on thexable where
it alighted, ' •
In the Small Debt Court, on Monday, a qtestion oc-
curred between a landlord and truant, eta very singu-
lar kind, and which excited a mixture of frelinp, of
astonishment in some. fear in others, and risibility in
such as happened to be at a convenient.distance from the
contending narties. The former argesslkse the strict in-
: terpretation of Shgloeh, and sosisLisavit Araffind, ortie
lother words, foil payment of his reei. The latter, a te-
male, rested her defence on the loss of blood already sus-
tained from the nocturnal attacks of the prerions tenants.
of which she said the landlord had enraged to clear the
house. This he had tailed to do, she alleged and m a
' proof of the premises being in the possession of other oc-
cupiers, she produced at the bar an entire colony of
them, inclosed in a box! Some called them Reformers
—others denominated them bugs! The sensation, how-
ever, produced in Court by this single exhibition cannot
