| given, notwithstanding that his seconds
had cautioned him time and again not to
90 over the scratch. Barney soon gave him
a hard hit in the ribs with his right,
which Collyer returned by blow on the
neck. A clinch soon followed, aud in the
struggle for the fall Barney was thrown
very heavily.
ROUND 42.-The hitting was quite equal
in this round. They struck together with
their left hands, and hit in nearly the same
spots on the face. They then let go their
right hands, and both blows took effect on
the left side of their heads. They then
closed, had a wrestle, and Collyer threw
Barney burster and fell heavily on him.
ROUND 43.-This was very short round.
Two blows only were given, when Barney
came the drop game and Collyer fell over
him.
ROUND A.-Collyer struck twice at Aa-
ron, but the latter getting ont of distance,
they failed to reach their destination. Bar
ney slipped a left-hander above Sans
bad eye, and another on his horribly mutt
lated mouth, and received in exchange a
very strong right-hander on his left ear.
Barney then dropped, and Collyer stood
over him looking contemptuously at him,
until taken away by his seconds. ..-
ROUND 45.-AarOn jumped about, dodg-
ing and maneuvering, and when CollyeT
struck at him he parried the blow prettily,
and returned on Collyer's forehead sharply
and then dropped on his knees instantly.
ROUND 46.-Both missed we'll meant
blows, when Aaron dropped again on the
moment. and was hissed by the crowd.
- ROUND 47.-The most revolving sigh
that probably any man ever saw outside
the prize ring, and in it but seldom, wa
now seen. Aaron's nose had been knocked
out of shape by the frequent blows tina
had fallen on it, and was swelling largely
towards the eyes, and blood was accumu
lating to such an extent that respiration
was being impaired; to relieve Aaron

QUEEN VICToRIA's kitchen includes the
chief cook, three master-cOoks, two yeomen
of the kitchen, two roasting cooks, and four
apprentices. There are also two larders
and storers, storekeeper, two green Office
men, three kitchen maids, and two men to
superintend steam apparatus. The salary
of the chief-cook is about $500 a year; that
of the master-cooks moiety of that sum.
The chief and master-cooks have the priv
ilege of taking the apprentices, of whom
there are now four; the premium which is
received from each (averaging from S150 to
f200) being divided, as ''per arrangement"
between them. The salaries and wages of
the other persons in the kitchen vary from
ten shillings per week to S175 per year. A
lad who is apprenticed to one of the Queens
cooks may, if he conducts himself properly,
obtain a situation in the kitchen at the ex-
piration of his term. The first step is, in
the event of a vacancy, or of one being Gre
ated, the situation of larder; and some
times, if he have friends and infuence,he oh
tains the situation of clerk in the Controll-
er's Office. The chiefs of the kitchen dine
by themselves at three o'clock, the chair
being taken by Her Majesty's chief-cook,
or, in his absence, by the senior cook. The
apprentices dine with the scourers, kitch-
en-maids, &c. .... ..re.5...... .. ..,

IN OF Request to the Legislature Relative to
the Erection OF q House OF Correction in the
City of Philadelphia.
Whereas The great necessity for the erection
of q House of Correction requires at the hands
of the Councils of the City the adoption of all
measures directed to the immediate prosecution
OF the work; and
Where as, The present crowded condition of
the Philadelphia County Prison has compelled
the placing of three or more prisoners in cells
originally constructed for but one person, thus
not only abandoning the system of Separate and
solitary confinement established by the LegiS-
lature, and known as the Pennsylvania system,
but sacrificing the health of the inmates, and
threatening, continually, the development
of some epidemic; and
Whereas, In the judgment of the Board OF
Prison Inspectors, and of the Councils of the
City, the lot of ground known the Parade
Ground, from its location, Immediately in the
rear of the County Prison, and from its distance
from present improvements, affords the best
and cheapest site for the much needed House of
Correction, or for the extension of the County
Prison, with the additional advantage that
when these or either of them, shall be COM
pleted, the control of them can be placed in
charge Of those now managing the County
Prison with but slight increase of cost for
attendance; therefore
Resolved, By the Select and Common Coun-
ellis of the City of Philadelphia, That copy of
this paIer be forwarded TO the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, with the respectful request of
the Councils Of Philadelphia for the passage of
the following act, wiz
An Act to Authorize the City of Philadelphia
TO Use the Parade Ground for the Purposes
therein named.
Section l. BE 1t enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of ftheCommOnwealth tn

lot OF ground in the rear of the Philadelphia
County Prison, in the First Ward of the city,
and known as the Parade Ground" for the
extension of the said Prison thereon, or for the
ereclion thereon of House of Correction, as
the Councils OF the City of Philadelphia may
determiue, And so much of Eleventh street, in
said city, as lies between the County Prison
and the Parade Ground, be and the same is
Hereby vacated a public highway: Provided,
That whenever the city Of Philadelphia shall
remove the County Prison from its present
site and the buildings they may have under
authority of This act, erected upon the Parade
Ground, all the said ground, both that upon
which the County Prison now stands and that
hereby authorized 10 be used, shall be laid out
by the city OF Philadelphia as Parade Ground
