iDr 111 in Boximu.—On Saturday evening two
young men, of the names of Bartholomew and Gait-
shore, having quarrelled at a public house in Nen-
ington about a reckoning, they agreed to go to a room
in the neighbourhood and fight it out, for their week's
WitEPN, as bricklayers. They fought hard, but un-
skilfully, one hone and a half, in which they were
more bruised by falls than by hitting, and in the 57th
round Bartholomew fell in a close, and became sense-
less. Mr. Guest, a surgeon, was sent for, but the man
was dead, from a fracture of one of the vessels of the
brain, by a fall on the temple.
On Saturday se'nnight, as a boy was leasing in a
field belonging to Mr. Barton, of new Fairlee, a snake
of an immense size, bit him and entwined round his
leg so firmly, that it became necessary for two men,
who were near, to use their assistance in rescuing the
poor lad from the grasp of the venemons creature
which, however, was not effected until they destroyeil it
The following inquests have been taken in Hemp-
shire,by Mr. Todd, last week :—On Tuesday, at Wan-
ston, on view of she body of Wns. Brown, who, while
fighting with one John Ventham, on the evening of
Sunday se'nnight, received several severe blows on
the left side, of which he languished until the follow-
ing morning, when he, died. It appeared that the
deceased had not begun the quarrel, but would insist
on fighting, although A'enthatn both before and after
the tight expressed a wish to avoid it. The Jury,
therefore, found a verdict of " Chance Medley."—
And on Wednemlay, at Alresford, on the body of Har-
riet Mills, aged about 9 years, who, in the temporary ab-
seace of her mother, sat too near the fire, which taught
her elothes, and in this deplorable state the poor child
ran into the street, enveloped in Han" by which she
was so much burnt as to occasion her death about V 2
hours after. Verslict—" Accidental Death."

A tolerable supply of new wheat and barley was
bronzlit to Lynn market on Tuesday last, the quality
of both was variona, but the whole sold readily.

In the southern parts of Scotland the harvest r.As
rapidly advancing, last week. The wheat crops were
mostly housed, and in excellent condition. Barley anti
oats were nearly half cut, and if the present tine wea-
ther continue, a full crop will crown the wishes
of the fanner and labouriw. Potatoes are likewise
a fair crop. Turnips are looking exceedingly well.
On Monday night as the mail-coach was proceeding
from Penzance to Falmouth, about two miles from
Marasion, ou the Heiston road, it was nearly oversew.
by a large waggon wheel which was placed on the road;
on proceeding farther, a large gate was discovered in a
similarsituation; at a short distance, a second gate was
found also laid on the road, and soon afterwards the
way was obstructed bt• a large tree placed across the
road. There can be no doubt that the object of those
who placed these ttings was the obtaining an opportn
city of plundering passengers, but fortunately the vigi-
lance of the driver anti guard of the coach prevented it -
accomplishment.
