Mr. Davis,—" I am sorry to say the latter applies to yon ; I could not fur shame recommend you, as yon know very well that when perlheming duly over ;he last corpse, you were so drunk' that you bad neatly fallen into the grave." The defeneant seemed to acknowledge this by assent, and talked aids knowledge of Latin, Greek, &c. and stated him self to be a Welch Magistrate. Mr..Farrant.—" Then why not return there ?" Mr. Davis.—" He did; but following the same course, he got into Swansea gaol." The defendant talked of having bled at the Nile, and went nu errs incoherently, and asked if there was not a pistol in the office. Mr. Perrault feelingly endeavoured to impress on the defendant the impropriety of his conduct. He was un willing to commit him as a vagrant, if he would promise the several persons present, whom he had annoyed, 'not to re read it. 'Phis he promised, and it being accepted, he was released. .

Mrs. Morris, wife of Capt. Morris, late of the 7th Hussars, attended before the Magistrates of this office, to answer a charge preferred against her, by Miss Eliza Johnson, for assaulting her and threat • g her with personal violence. Miss Johnson stated, that some months back she formed an unfortunate cc nnection with • Capt. Morris, in Ireland. Sire wsts not aware that lie was a married man. She accompanied blur. to England, and was Mtn visited by the defendant, who abused her in the must violent manner, and alarmed her by her ontrageons conduct. Since that period Card. Morris had been in custody several times, charged by parish officers, to whom Mrs. Morris had applied for maintenance, and for a considerable time she (complainant) had discontinued her connection with that gentleman. Site at present resided in the parish of St. George, Southwark, and the defendant cocci, pied apartments at no great distance from the same place.— They ft equently met aosidentally in the street, and apon all such occasions Mrs. Morrie assailed her with torrents of ai.ese, and a moVabotet her. She was hunted by the defendant whet ever she went, and considered that her per 9011al safety wa.s endangered by melt conduct. Nlrs. Morris said, that she felt towards the complainant as any other female would feel under similar circumstances.— She had deprived her of her husband. and had been the prin cipal cause of herself and faintly being reduced to so deplor able a state as to be compelled to apply to a parish for soh listenee.—She had reason to believe that the statement was • untrue respecting the discontinuance of her connection unit Captain Mon is. It was a subject of inexpressible mortifica tion to witness the squandering away upon a worthless woman that property, which ought to be appropriated to the uses of . his own family, whose wants were numerous. She could not repress her feelings, and wherever or whenever stre.met the complainant, she should remind her of the innumerable wrongs which she had been the means of heaping upon her family. The Magistrate lamented the unfortunate and deserted situation of Mrs. Monis, but remind her that she must not adopt site!' a conduct towards Miss JOllll4Oll as tended to lead to a breach of the peace. Under the circumstances, he should not then call upon her to find sureties. The officer should hold the warrant, and bring the parties before hint, if a siiniEr occurrence should again take place. WORSHIP STREET. Two collectors of tolls on the appeared at this &lice on Thursday, to answer to informationtexhibited against them f..r taking toll of a respectable inhabitant living in Shoredhch, of the name of Parka, not being authorized by the Local Aet of Parliament to to do. It appeared on the evidence of Mr. Parker, that on two several nights passing through the gate on the said road, with a common cart laden with potatoes, which he was going to deliver to a customer, the collector demanded night toll : he stated, that his was a cart of burden, not a carriage of pleasure, and therefore, according to the Act of Parliament, had no right to pay night toll. The col. lector refused to allow him to pass without p.sying sispence, which lie was obliged to do. lie exhibited an information against the collector, and en the hearing the Magistrate considered that as it was a toll imposed upon yersons who travelled fur pleasure, it could nut apply to the present instance, es it appeared the plaintiff was solely on businois. Upon this case he must convict the defendant in the penalty of 40s. and cos s for taking the said toll, lie not being authorized by the Act of Parliament so to do. The defendant said he should appeal against this conviction to the Quarter Sessions. A very singular case "of sudden obliteration of the deepest ire, pression occurred in Oxford. somewhat later than the middle of the last century. It was narrated by the late Mr. Wyndham:, and the fact is well known to many persons yet living. A woman. who was there exevuted, was restored to animation. She completely recovered her health—married—bore children—and conducted herself reputably through life. Hut the effect produced on her memory by the shock which her bodily frame had sustained was most extraortlinary. She reaolltscted every Ciing distinctly cp to the day of her trial ; but from that day she recollected nothing ; and the period between her tri.ll and execution for ever after reivained a blank in her memory. She had behaved in prison with great composure and resignation— had partaken of the sacrantent on the morning of execution—sung a hymn on the seaffold—takena calm farewell of her friends—and be trayed no symptoms of terror. Ductal these scenes were for ever effaced from her mind—nor had ehe ever afterwards the fiitite , t glimmer of recollection that she had been placed in such jeopanly. lice ne mnry with regard to every thing else was unimpaired. It 'stolid teem in, if the ideas that possessed her mind during her im pcsoninent, and were uppermost'on it, had literally been all wiped away.—/Fackwoori's Edinburgh Magaziae.

No pluck ap. peered wanting on either side, the battle having lasted au hour and 55 minutes, and producedl2 rounds sustained with as much gluttony as might have been expected front the hardiest veterans of the Fancy, when the Irishman gave in, and yielded the victory to Joe, which was at one time de spuired of, in consequence of his having badly sprained his wrist. 111 one close Dogherty had gut the 6'6111411's head in chancery, and swiss paying away lustily at his wind, when the spectators, for wain of knowing better, exclaimed, " Foul! foul ! no throtling I" Most present were glad to see the bully beaten.—Two pugilistic contests finished the sports on MOW day un Durdhani 1) own ; one between -- Cowley and Old Cottle, commonly called " the Sandman," who fought Dick Horton; his favourite play was at his antagonist's brcad. baska, which lie put into a ferment, and finally tutchal him up. The other was a milling between two gluttons. Last week a conflict of a most desperate nature took place at Tunbridge, betwteti souse smugglers and some Ex cise Officers. The officers were the victorious party for seine time, when one of the smugglers aimed a desperate blew at one of the officers, which obliged Will to drop his spear. The, smuggler seized it, which decided the battle, and the officers were obliged to make uff with tho greatest celerity, to pre serve their fives. TURNER AND RANDALL. The long expected match between these first•rate heroes alight weight, and which will excite more interest than has been known for many years, was made at Mr. Franklin's, oil Tuesday night; and as thousands are pending already upon , the match, we furnish our readers with the articles, subject tosome trivial alterations.

SPARRING, AT HEAD'S ROOM, NEAR THE NEW CUSTOM -HOUSE. Joe Parish (one of the brave competitors bf Randal,) under the patronage of the Swells of the East end of the Metropolis, who (in ' imitation of the Corinthians of the West) gave the " Knign of the Oar" a good turn, on Thursdr y iiiglitat the above place. ThisOisiot pa, t of the town produced an ores flowing assemblage of smote urs ot the mu! t respectable description —many of whom, when their !Werra wc.e closed, and the soft safely screwed, brushed off with quick steps is or ler to promote the seience of self.defence—also as a means to pre - vent our natural character from being flowed by the growing intro • duction of effeminacy and Dondyism—aad, lastly, to perpitiate that sort of " true courage" which is so justly recorded ui the eyes sd Europe, respecting the natives of Old England -. - - The battle once over., the heart of a lamb ! so highly extolled by a Wyndham, encouraged by a Wellington, at d the theme of those renowned .warriors Blucher and Plated: The sports catered by the IVaterrnon were, in their exhibition, equal, if not superior to many similar displays at the famed " Fives Lourt." —Shelton and Spring commenced the perfo rmance with touch ap plause; but the latter boxer is visibly "gone r4ff" from the eflkts of illness, and his once athletic frame now bespeaks ' none of that pos;- five determination of manner which so characterised his efforts in the ring with Harmer. Spring, of course, had the best q/ it.—But the principal feature of the evening was the bout between Martin, the baker, and dcroggins, and which was pronounced highly impor tant and interesting to the supporters of the Prize Ring, respecting the capabilities of the Crusty Hero, and towards regulating the betting at any future pckod, whenever he is opposed to a Avort The length and height of the Master of Me Rolls over his opponent, was evident to all the Amateurs. Scroggins in this combat proved himse'f a tragi-comic performer of talent ; and under tke usual, of fun, he not only produced roars of laughter-made his audience tie queatly look serious—and worked upon his adversary's feelings—but concluded by exciting their utmost astonishment ! In short, it' the conqueror of Johnson did not gammon it (and yet too much nature seemed to prevail in the set-to to give it such a character, as well us too much anxiety and love of fame displayed to make it a mere tri. - k to deceive the unwary), it was a real thing ; the fact is then, that neither the kngth nor the science of. the Baker could prevent the boring qualities of Scroggins from doing heavy execution (so well known and felt by all his opponents, except Turner,) and ultimately sending Martin down. Upon Scroggins quitting the room, and con sidered to have the best of the bout," another round" was loudly call ed for by the partizans of the Baker. Scroggins innueds•itely return ed, and every eye was on the stretch to view the termination. Scruggy went to work again without any delay, and like the grand climax to a fine piece of oratory, he hit Martin down with the celerity of a shut —then tinning round smiling, said with much nariete, " G en tl emen , are you now satisfied ?"-" Quite, quite," were the replies, when he left the room overwhelmed with peals of applause. The wind up of the sports of the eventing was also excellent in witnessing the set-to between Belcher and Parish. The fine science of the former is too well known to need any repetition ; but it is due to the IVaterniats to observe, that he exhibited great improvement --made some good hits, and raised himself in the opinion of his friends. Oliver and Purcell were present, but did not spar. The audience departed more than ordinarily pleased with the amusement afforded them; and the highest amateur in the Fancy from the West end of the viva volun tarily offered to patronize a benefit fur Scroggings in the city.
