The purges of the London Taney seem to have recovered
from the effect of Neat's former prowess, and the pluck of
the owners appears to resume its sway in a like ratio. Bet-
ting has rue high during the t tst week on the important bat-
tle, which will be decided to-morrow week, between the
rivals fed the championship, Neale and Spring. The con-
lideoce of the milling cores of Bristol is unshaken in their
favourite hero, who is in training at Marlborough, in com-
pany with Harry Harmer, and, as report says, in equally
high condition land spirits. Tile friends of Spring are not
less conedent ; and though the assurance of Hickman re-
ceived so severe a check from the not less manly but more
t modest prowess of Neate, yet is the same system of chaffing
bad recourse to, and the ssme presumptuous toue assumed
by Spring, with a view to cheek lie ardour of his adversary.
This may be fair, but it is a weapon that may be bandied by
both parties; and if adopted generally would engender a
spirit of personal technic in these combats, which would
speedily call for the interference of the tegislatere.—(Srisioi
Mercury, May 12.)

During the violent gale on Thursday morning. one of
the venerable elms, which have weathered the *culprits
of more than a century of winters, in the Orange-gruse.
Beth, was blown down to the ground. The fruit trees
in this neighbourhood have, we understand, sustained
considerable injury from the violence of the wind,—(Brie

DREADFUL FIRE IN Naw STREET, COVENT GARDEN.—
Lest night, a little before 12 o'Clock, an alarming tire broke
out in the premises of Mr. Gotty, pastry-cook, New-street.
Covent-garden, which, from the narrowness of the street.
sal the rapidity with which the dames extended. threatened
destruction to the whole neighbourhood. The Ire com-
menced in the shop, and in a short time the interior of the
house was completely consumed. The house adjohdog
having no party wall, was olio much injured, as was that of
Mr. Greases, cheesernonger, opposite. which was on fire
several times, and but for the speedy arrival of the engines.
and the great exertions of the firemen, mum inevitably hate
fallen a prey to the flames. In Goodwin's-court, at the
back of New-street, a wooden house was burnt down, and
several other buildings were considerably injured.—On the
first alarm being given, the unfortunate inmates were sere
io great distress, and in a state of nudity, at the windows:
be', with the exception of an aged female, who occupied the
upper room, and whose infirmities rendered her incapable
of exertion, they were fortunately rescued from their peril'
ous situation. The unfortunate woman alluded to was ob-
s-rved lit a dreadful state of alarm at the upper window.
A ladder was speedily procured, arid a butcher quickly as-
cended and got hold of her arm, but site could not be pre'
'Ailed upon to quit her position. A sheet was spread out
below, and she was loudly urged to endeavour to save her-
self by leaping from tae window ; but whether presented
by her infirmities, or completely overpowered by fear, she
continued clinging t the window-frame, while the room m
which site was, presented a complete blaze of fire. The
feelings of the bystanders at this nacment n:ay be better con•
ceived than described. The intrepid butcher agaiu ascended
In the midst of the flames, but before he reached the top of
11w:bidder the r.iaf fell in, and the hapless victim was seen
Do more. About two o'clock the fire was greatly sabduse,
hut at twelve this day the ensines were still playing spea
the ruins.
ANOTHER FlRE.—Last night about ten o'clock. I!
broke out in the extensive workshop of Mr. Bush, Carpel).
ter, tae bottom of Old Gravel-lane ; which with the whole
of the stuck, and a house adjoining, ware consumed before
the Dames could be extinguished.
