An intelligent writer, in a late New York paper, ex-
presses his surprise that the general &minks shield
be so winch fixed upon the proceedings at Laybaeh sad
in Europe, when such majestic scenes are displaving
themselves on the theatre of South America. Wiwi/
provinces are there casting of the Spanish yoke, sad
associating themselves in the cause of independent".
The armistice between Bolivar and blorillo has sot
suspended the progress of the cause in other district•
Maracaybo, and Rio de la Bache, bare declared then
independence; and Spain has scarcely a strong held
on the southern shore of the gulf of Mexico. The
r.
large province of Quito on the Pacific has also raised
her banner ; so that If San Martin has not already re•
volutionized Peru, she is pressed on both Wes;
on the south by Chili; and on the mirth
by Quito. The Isthmus of Panama will pro-
bably sympathize in these moments ; and even
Mexico herself is exhibiting symptoms of the earth-
quake. If Spain be wise, she will acknowledge the
independence of Buenos Ayres, of Co4sethis, mml of
Quito ; she will trust to her owq great reowaveres for
the elements of her own prosperits. ; but if the Coitus
should continue blind to the progress of the age, his
believed that 114 immense region of South America
will no longer be attached to the fluctuating &dues
of so distant a Peninsula; and that those whom Red
had not joined together, the sword of man may tit
asunder. Even if South America be not calculated
for the enjoyment of a purely republican constitaties;
if experiment should prove that she needs a few yeses
of instruction to enable her to burst into the full blue
of liberty, still let her be " independent of Europe."
At all events," says this writer, " the time is not die
taut when we, the citizens of the same continent, ass
take her by the right hand of fellowship, and recssenise
her independence. We ought to be the first to d01t....
In Brazil, too, some interesting revolutions are ex•
peeled to be at hand. Bahia has declared herself is
favour of a representative constitution; and Rio Ja-
neiro mill probably imitate her example. The Ports-
geese of America will not be slaves, while those el
Europe enjoy a representative government."

The only measure of importance at present pending
in Parliament, that professes to have for its object the
.relief of the country, is the llill introduced by Mr.
ScsnLETT fur the amendment of the Poor-Laws. 110
original aim of this Bill, as oar readers are sewn
was first to check that dependeure on external sidwia
the existing system engenders, by limiting the VIM'
sion for the support of the poor, and fixing ea the sa•
eminent of the year 1820 as a maximum, or tbehigh-
-ost assessment which It should be lawful le make.
The seeen,l aim was to render it illegal to afford pa.
rochial relief, except in cases a here the peed*, weft
' incapable of taboos- from sickness, infirmity, Of ate =
and the third and last was to repeal what is called the
law of settlement, and leave the poorman to carry his
labour to the Care he thought it would be most produr-
tie,, and make that p wish maintain the labourer is
witch be found he was incapable of maintaieing
self.

It is obvious that, oat of three parts of the Plan,
the aspects of two
presented an unfavourable appear.
twee to the labouring poor ; that one of them alto-
!ether pr Atibited their relief, whatever might be their
areensiflet, ou aerosol of want of work, or the barikeis
of a numerous family ; and that all of them proceeded
on the pritsiple that the miseries of poverty betel the
healthy from Improvidence alooe, promoted by re.
fiancees a system of support. It most be matter of
surprise that views so narrow ami erroaeotts could
hare bees entertained by ally petiewn of eotesive
exPerieure in a profession which affords au lnnighl

Tenches a four were filled with atoelir- of the lint
quality. to witness the eat agile 'Ail& .Isis entreat-,
Binary pugilistic powers. It woo II so I all round the
rine., before the combatants made their app atsorma
and at one o'clock; almost at the same time, Olives
and Ilickman'threw their hats into the dopes. Oliver
was attended by Harmer and Jos. Hodges, as h;s se-
conds ; and the Osidight Man was Waited apes
by Spring and Shelton. This the sported the whim-.
toppers; and the cnloun, yellow.for Oliver and Igoe
fir the oas, were tied to the stakes. On Oliver es-.
tering the riog, he went up to the Oas-light Maio
smiling, shook hands with hiss, and asked him Ism
he did, which was retnrised in the mast friendly and
pleasant mantle, by Hickman. On tossing tap foe this
side, to avoid the rays of the sun, Hickman sail "ia
was a woman, and I told yea I should win it." lit
also appeared in striped silk stockings; sad ea strip-
ping. patted himself with confidence, as much as to in-
fer, " Behold my good condition."
' Round I. l'onaiderable caution was observed on both'
sides ; both of them dodged each other a little w '
aide offers to hit, and got away. The OMs 'ode'
Sapient a blow, but it fell shirt, from the retreat ng
system adopted liv Oliver. The Uis again molest-toured
to make a hit, which alighted on Oliver's right arm : the
latter, by way of derision, patted it. and teethed. Oli-
ver was now at the ropes, and some exchanges took
place : but in a close Oliver broke away, and a small
'pause ensual. Ilicknyin at length went to work, and
his execution vras so tremendous in a elate, that the face
of Oliver WAS changed to a state of stupor, and both
went down. Oliver was picked op instantly. tint he
was quite abroad—he looked wildly, his left ear bleed-
ing; and the iry was. " it's aU up—he cannot COME
again:" and indeed it was the general opinion, that
Oliver would not be able again to appear at the scratch':.
2. Oliver was very bad, but he got away from a la.
The Gas now put in so tremendous a facer that it ass
heard all over the ring, and Oliver was bleeding at the
Moth. In closing, Oliver tried to fib his opponent.
bat it was useless ; and the (las held him as tight as it
he bad been in a vice, till they both went down. Oliver
was so punished and exhausted, that several persocs
cried out, " It is of no use, take him awa)."
3. The scene was so changed, that 211 guineas to I
were laid upon Hickman. The latter smiled with conk-
dente on witnessing the execution he bad done; bet the
game displayed by Oliver was above all praise, and he
appeared, after being helloed at by his seconds, about a
shade better. and he fought a severe round. The Gas
received a terrible body hit, and sense other severe
changes took place. The cunning of Uas was here wit-
nessed in an extraordinary degree, and with his left
band open, which appeared in the first instance as if his
lingers went into the mouth of Oliver. he put the head
of Oliver aside, and with a dreadfal hit, which he made
on the back part of Oliver's not. sent the latter down
on his face. A lump as big as a roll immediately rose
upon it. The Gas in this round was very much dis- .
tressed ; his mouth was also opee ; and it seemed to be ,
the opinion of several of the amateurs, that be was not
in such high condition as %then he fought Cooper, or be
must have finished the battle.
4. The Oas endeavoured to plant his desperate right-
handed blow upon Oliver's face; but he missed it, and
fell down; and Oliver, in trying to make a hit in return.
fell over Hickman.
5. The left eye of the Gas was rather touched • but his •
confidence astonished the ring. Oliver broke away.
and he also jobbed the Gas-light man's nob; but as to •
any thine like hitting, it was out of him; and Hick's's,
net onlyored in upon Oliver, bet punished him till he
went down quite stupid. Hisinall/'fir any edits.
S. Oliver came np to the screeds my heavy, but he
smiled, and got away from thefiaisheng bit of his oppo-
sent ; and rather singular to observe, in closing, Oliver
by a sort of slewing throw, sent the Gas off his legs, and
he was almost out of the ring. The applause given to
Oliver was like a roar of artillery.
7. Oliver put in a facer, but it made no impression ;
sad the tias with his left band again felt for his distance
against Oliver's nob, and the blows be planted in
Oliver's face were terrific. By comparison time strength
and confidence of Hickman was like that of a giant over
a boy.
8. Oliver came up almost dozing, and began to fight
as if from instinct; he knew not what he was about.—
Hickman now made his left and right hand tell npon
Oliver's head, when the latter went down like a log of
wood. It was a 1001. to a farthing. "Take hiss away,
he has not a shadow of chance."
9. and last. Oliver game to the end appeared at the
scratch ; and put up his arms to fight ; when the pepper .
administered by the lies ass so hot, that Oliver went
down in a state of stupor. The fias.light man said to
his second, " I have done it, he will not come again."
Oliver was picked up and placed on his second's knee ;
but he fell off on the ground, and when time was called
he could not move. Hickman immediately jumped up
sad said, " I can lick another Oliver sow;' but he
immediately went up and shook Oliver by the band.
The latter remained in a state of stupor for a short pin,
rimy; but from medical assistance being immediately at
band, he recovered, and was conveyed to the nearest,
house.—lt was over in 121 minutes.
Rsmaaus.—ln less than three quarters of an hour,.
thus has Hickman conquered in succession, Crawley.
Cooper (twice), and Oliver. In quickness he tomes
the nearest to the late Jem Belcher ; but the Gee
cannot fight so well with both his hands. Perhaps it
might be more correct to compare him witk the late
Geese Chicken ; yet the latter was a shy and mot"
careful fighter than Hickman. It is, however, but
common justice to say of the Gat, that his confidence

opponent to commence the fight with as much cer-
tainty of mecums in his own mind as Nelson entered
