reit by Randall's friends, .and law proceedings have
been instituted to get back the 2001. forfeits theta was
some hesitation unless Randall could stay such proceed-
ings; but as it was out of his power, the new match was
made.

Jonm FORD AND WRITON.—The match between time
men took place yesterday, on the verge on the counties
of Middlesex and Essex, for a stake sad a purse. Font
it known by his brave combats with Oliver, Harry Har-
mer, awl others of first-rate order, and Weston proved
himself a good man in his combat with the Bristol
Youth. Nothing but a manly fight was 1°4,64 for, and
the men realised the expeetations of Ike smsteurs.—
Carrol, the Suffolk man, and GOlett seconded Ford, and
Oliver and Clark officiated fur Weston.
In the first round, Ford was bit heavily in a r2:ly,
and his blows fell short from a catch or lameness in the
right 'erg, and he was under in the fall.
2d. This round spun the claret about merrily. The
men stood to each other, and exchanged blows wrlsout
strolving to avoid, until their features were spoiled.—
Both down in a dose.
3,1 and 4th. These rounds were contested with much
obstinacy, and in each of them Ford made his !spare
hitting right-hand tell upon bin wl y's bead, n Isich
stoltified it, and he was floored in both the rounds.—
Betting, which was even at thecommencewent, was now
6 to 4 on Ford.

In the 8;6 round Weston recovered from the doss( tie
hits bad throw. him into, and changed the odds in his
favour. It was slashing work all through, but Fur
could not get np his lame leg quick enough to meet his
antagonist. Weston led until the 18th round, when he
bet ame tired also, and was thrown a heavy Somerset-
-19. This round made i eoetvierisi turn i■ tlu battle:
Ford played a ehotterieg right-handed Mow upon his
adversary's Jaw, which loosened it, and dropped the
man.

The battle wee continued until the 28th ronod in
Ford's favour. In the 234 round Weston floored his ad-
versary, but Ford chewed estrordinary game, nnd.•e
severe punishment ; there was nothing like denial about
him. Weston was at length beat by a cltrnce hit tinder
the 1.;, which made him deaf to time. The men were
alike much punished.
A second battle was fought between Jaws, a navi-
gator, and Ben Smith, which was woo by the former is
16 minutes.

CLontrcL, Acc !4.—On Wednesday last a poor
simpleton from near Chanel), commonly called Can-
tering Jack, cams running Into Clone's!, accompany-
ing so foot the Mail Coach from Cork for Dab in,
(*lsiah travels at the rats of nearly six miles am ho.ir )
Ho bad kept along side of it from Cork to thh town,
and. we seelneview4l. went-es wink -tt In MI swim

as far as nallytore, about 100 Irish miles, before he
broke down. It was undertakes for a smell wager
that poor Jack would go from Cork to Dublin aluop•
side the coach.—(Clo3nael Adveriiter.)

A woman of the same of Corill, residing io Taber-
nacle-row, was this morning, about seven o'clnek,
while crossing the City-road, opposite St. Luke's Hos-
pital, knocked dowa by a man driving a gig in a most
redoes manner. The wheel going over her leg broke
it just above the meek, Every attempt was wade to
stop the driver, but he avoided his pursuers, coetiou-
lag his career along the road towards Shoreditch.
A coroner's inquest was yesterday held on the body
of the man who was thrown out of the window in Bell
lane, and killed, os Sunday morning, as mentioned in
oar paper of yesterday. After due consideration, marl
the examination of whimsies, the Jury returned a ver.
dice of Wilful Murder spigot James Birmingham.
(the butcher. who was is the room with the demented)
and that Mary Kirwan who had also been in the
room, was aiding and, assisting tbereln.—(Dus!i4
.horsing Post, August 27.)
Nothing shows the utter inefficiency of the Munici-
pal Authorities of the city of Dahlia in a stranger
point of view than the shocking and disgraceful fact,
that the body of the unfortunate Inas who was killed
in Dull-lane, was suffered to lie in the street, os the
spot where he fell, during the whole of Sunday, and
natil three o'clock in the %Nausea of yesterday.
—No man should accept the office of Coroner
who will not discharge its ditties: those who du
accept the office, and will not attend to it, should be
dismissed. Surely the Government of the country
should investigate this delicate affair ; which is tort
siogu!ar iu this City. It is but a few months since a
woman was killed in I)mm-street, when the body re-
mained for the greater part of three days, anti no la.
quest was held until after the lapse of that time, al-
though crowds of people beast aka Imam where the
body lay, and apprehensions were entertained that is
would be torn duets by the popnlace.---(ibid.)
Voltam-I.r or [LATS.—A few days sines an inquest
was held at Cambridge, on the body of Mrs. C is.
Headley. 'fits d ti, it appeared, had long been
subject to fits, and fir two years had been infirm and
totally unable to help herself. She living on the
ground flour, a lodger closed the s`tetters, sod his wife
went into the room to fasten them. This was about
br.lf past nine, and she then heard deceased snore, and
on looking at her she appeared to be in a comfortable
sleep. The aurae found the deceased in a similar
state at tea o'clock, but on visiting the room again,
twenty minutes afterwards, she found four rats gnaw.
lug the deceased's face. The rats ran away and so
lid the nurse to give the alarm. Mr. Dell, the lodger.
came down, and, although bet • minute bad el.pserl.
the four rats had already returned to their 11-orrid re
past. Three of thorn again ran off, bat tile fourth re•
. maimed. and Mr." Bell might have taken it with Lis
hand, had he not been tuo much shocked at the sight.
A surgeon gave it as his opinion, that the wounds
indicted by the rats would sot have caused death, mud
from her bands and suns, and the bed-clothes lying
precisely in the position as when she was put to bed,
and there being et t appearance of struggling, it s•
supposed she was dead before the rats attacked her.
Verdict—Died by the Visitation of God,
