TURN-UP BETWXEN A COCK SPARROW •ND. A MOUIM
AT TATTeAsa LI:S.—M.IIIi% highly famed Sporting ,
tablishment the amateurs were a few days since inter-
ested upon the . following accidental evvnt; which oc-
carred near the subscription room sparrow, who
was in the daily habit of picking uft the crumbs of bread
which were thrown ont from one of the rooms (and

wh'eb, It apeears. 11•! viewed as his exclusive right), was •
suddenly interrupted in his pursuit by a littl.4 hungry
mouse, who, with tears in his eyes, haviu,A been some
time without food, attacked the sparrow, seized upon
the cram of bread, and endeavoured to run of with the
prize. The sparrow inettediately *homed
.fight, and
nobbed the mouse so successfully with hi. beak, that
Mousey bolted, and made for a hole in the wall to es-
cape from the fury of his antagonist ; but the hole
being too small, pour Mousey stuck fast for a little
time, when thu Sparrow 1,44,8414(d Wm severely. Five
and six to four on the feathers. The Mouse, in his
own defence, was compelli•il to retur.i tJ the charge, and'
was again so milled that lie ran a little way op the wall,
but falling down from weakness, the Sparrow care
more had the best of him. Two to one ow.; offered by
the surrounding spectators (u ho were 1104' so much in-
terested upon the event, that Randall and Martin could
not for doll instant, have proved more a tractive to
their feelings), that the gay birdivonit Mousey, who
was not destitute of pluck, determined to have another*
rhy for the crumb, made a desperate •effort to bear it
itt ; but the little cock bird weed I" out so hunt and ,
fast, that Mousey left the ground with the spired of le:
Gustavus, and got out of the clutches of his opponent
by falling down an area. The Sparrow followed the ,
Mouse t It he lost sight of him, cockin•r his little ogles .
down the area after his antavonisf, anal strutting tt ith
all the pride of a first-rate miller, as if chaffing to him-
self, " I have give,* it you, my Matissey, tor your teme-
rity;" then returning to the spot, he linked the crumbs
at 'his ease and leisure, amidst the laughter of the sur-
rounding spectators.
SA*I3IIIINO Marcu.—A grrat bustle was exci.ted at
the west end of the town Thursday in consequence of
its having been understood that a ssvitnutinentatch
was to take place on the Serpentine River, between.
Mr. F. O. Martin, the celebrated Nottingham swim-
mer; and Mr. T. P. Ramsden, of hied' swimming re-
pute at Roehford. The match was for 50 guineas, to
swim four times up and down the River. It was well
contested fur some time, Mr. 11. keeping the lead, hut
on turu!n S round fur the last time he grew tired, and.
was passed in grand vyle by his antako Ist, who WOO
the match among the shouts of thousands. Mr. It.
sunk when within five yards of the winning p as', but
was immediately rescued by a waterman ; he, how:
ever, soon recovered, and was able to walk away.

Sonielaly, at Stevenage. N. B. As the name is for-
got, and the direction 1 st, be areful to whom it is de:
livered." On the other . on a printed card,
" Orders executed with great punctuality."
Yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, the Wick-
hitarts of (130 es-street, Middlesex Hospital, were
thrown into sudden alarm by the report of a loaded
pistol having been fired through the shop door of Mr.
Parker, a respectable goldsmith, residing at the cor-
ner of Berner's-street, opposite the Hospital. The
report was so loud that srveral persons soon arrived on
the spot, to know what mischief bad occurred. On
inquiry at the shop of Mr. Parker, it was ascertained
that one 40f the young men, while holding a pistol in
his hand (not knowing it was !oatd with, p)wder and
ball). it accidentally went off, when the contents passed
through the shop door, which was principally glasa,
and shattered it to pieces. The ball went through the
panne], took a standing direction across the road, and
stivek the brick wall under the gateway of Suffolk
Mews, adjoini .g the Sprea-1-eagle public-house, where
it was found. At the time a number of persons were
listening within a few yards of the gateway, hrariog
a man play on hand bells, and other individuals were
also walking talon,' t'ae street at the above moment, but
very providentially escaped without any injury:
