the battle that ;Nash could not get in to place his fa-

made all the play, but he could not do his work to his

Much controversy took place after the battle. in conse-
quence of two or three Kingston people refusing to
give up money staked, and upon no other ground than
that they intended to nin, tie, or to wrangle. A bell

ferryboat, where some of the country disputants were
retii.ing to pay hotionrably,juosped out of the boat as if
ili.gusted with the wranglers, and swam over to Hamp-
ton. caning much mirth. Another battle was fought'
the same day between Anthony a Cambridge man, and
ilibson the navigator. It was fought in Appleton-Park,
Oxon, and was wonky Anthony in half an hour.

• An extradOigry picture, painted by Itetithrant, has
been recestty' ditiezvered, and the progress of the disco
eery is curious. The President of the Royal Academy
saw this picture by chance, with a great mass of other
rubbish and inferior productions, which were preparing
for Sale by auction. Sir Thonins Lae rence's taste was
immediately struck with the merits of this picture, even
in its dirty and mutilated condition; lie attended the
sale, and the hammer was on the point of ratifying Sir
Thomas as the purchaser for four guineas, when a lynx.
eyed dealer suddenly contended for the prize, and was
the eventual purchaser for two hundred guineas. He
took home the picture, had it cleaned and newly mount-
ed, and in the first instance offered it fur sate to his taste.
tot competitor, whose property it now i., for seven liun•
Bred guineas. The picture is said to be the finest ever
painted by Rembrant, and worth seven thousand pounds.
The subject relates to Joseph and Potiphar's Wife.

DRI:a orta. SUlClDlL—Yeatenlav morning. about one
o'clock, the following most dreadful act ,of eiticide was
perpetrated at the Goss Keys, in Belton-street, Long-
acre:—Mr. Francis Jackson, a half-pay otlier, who for
some time past lodged in the above house, on Tuesday
bight last, after sitting fur a short period below stairs,
retired to his chamber, at the above hour. The land.
lady of tire house soon after was alarmed by dreadful
groans, and on impiiry she found that they 'proceeded
from th. deceased's apartment. She instantly made in
alarm, and on assistance arriving the door was opened,)

years of age, was seen on the bed, with a dreadful
wound intlicted on his throat i a =or covered with

The prisouers were now separately asked if they bed

Lacey, on behalf of himself and comrade, said-that
they had permission to pitch empty casks at the London
Workhouse, and that they did it when their drays were
overloaded. They were in the habit of occasionally tak-
ing up empty casks belonging to other brewers, and
those left by them at Clark's were his (Clark's) own
property, which they had so takes up in the course of
that morning.
The latter part of this defence was successfully rebut-
ted by Clinton, who swore to havingseen Messrs. Hale's
mark upon the four casks.
The prisoner Turner was in the same story. The dray-
men, he said, were is the habit of leaving empty casks
there occasionally when they were overloaded, and had
the permission of Mr. Hardener, the nastiest the Work-
house.
