• , ; FIG FIT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, ERTWEEN CANNON AND WARD t . FOR ONE THOUSAND SOVEREIGNS. . , —ram. .• , Mn the abdication of Spring, the Empire of the; " Fancy" was thrown into a state of confusion, equalled , only by that which occurred when Alexander the Great bequeathed the crown to the most worthy, and at his death, Antigonus, Cassander, tysimachus, and Se leucus, all started as competitors for the throne. So on the retirement of Spring, the Alexander of his day, the several Captains of the Ring, who bad repressed their ambition under the terror of his mighty fist, seized en different portions of the State, and each supported by a set of flatterers and followers, claimed, as " the most worthy," the sovereignty of the whole. From the pro vince of Wapping; backed by the pomp and power of the East, came forth Jan Ward—formed by nature for victory, he posiessed every quality of a hero ; a frame moulded for activity and strength ; science the most effective; and a bead as crafty as a serpent's. Bat those who dreaded his might, denied him the capability of its application. His heart was said not to be in the right place,and the rivalPrinces,questioning his game, laughed at his pretensions, and refused obedience to his claim. Vrom the fertile territories of Windsor advanced Tom Cannon, leading captive the murdered reputation of Josh Hudson. The genius of Fortune, in the shape of Mr. Hayne, rolling on a silver ball, attended at his side, and victory went before his chariot, proclaiming how often he had won. From the wilds of Scythia came forth Jack Langan—a true Milesian, swelling and bursting like a big potatoe. He hurled a loud defiance,. and challenged all the world, but when the enemy took the field against' him, he retired into the fastness:s of his desert, and was only heard of by what that great torwre Champion (Mr. Dan. O'Connell) would call an " under growl," which, like the roll of distant thunder, passed unheeded by. Peter Crawley put in his claim, like a man and valiant soldier. The architect of his. own fame, he advanced himself from the ranks by merit alone. Confident in his own powers, he did not rush madly into mischief, but collecting in his progress friends and supporters, waited for the favourable mo ment to throw his hat into the ring, and strike a decisive blow. Bui while the Empire was in this state, and the' minds of men anxiously awaiting the result, a new yandidAte appeared ; on whom, as if by one assent, the choice of all the Fancy fell. Brown, rising from a distant quarter, slaughtered all the petty foes who dared to oppose his march, overthrew one of the leading Cap tains of the age, and then with the tact of a prudent General, awaited the issue of the next contest, deter mined to enter the lists with the conqueror. Jem Ward is allowed to be the best fighter of his day, and the boasting of Cannon, after his double vic :city over Hudson, was not likely to pass unnoticed ; and after several challenges given, accepted, and broken, the match was at last made for one thousand pounds. %%yard was backed by a club of friends in the East, and Cannon principally by Mr. Harm. The in erest taken in this affair by Ward's friends, was greater taut can well be imagined. They seat him to Dn rzster, under the care of a skilful trainer, to talcr his exercise with Metcalfe, the great runner. There he was put to hard work, and every care used to increase his stamina and improve his wind. The accounts of his training were looked for with the same anxiety as those of the first favourite Of the Derby or St. Leger.— Everything was said to go on well. He *as brought dc.wn from thirteen stone and a half to twelve stone four pcunds ; not a pound of loose flesh left about him, and his wind was stated to be in tke best order.— Mr. Hayne sent Cannon to Marlborough for exercise. His constitution being good, h* wanted very little professional training, but what was necessary to be done was managed by Clarke, under the superintend ence of Mr. Hayne himself. That fighting should be in fashion at Wapping and its vicinity is not in the least surprising. The very air is martial, and smells of pitch and tar, and other pre-- parations of naval warflue. The Tower of London, with -its armoury to teach the young-idea how to shcoi, is constantly in sight; and even the fair sex have a brimstone look ; but that Windsor should be pugnacioin is a matter of surprise to us, as it will be of profound astonishment and curious research to the future historian. " Thy forests, Windsor, and tby green retreats, At once the Monarch's and the Muses' seats," have lost their character ; and it is a melancholy truth, that this home of Kings and abode of beauty, conse crated by poesy, and rendered sacred by every associa tion, is now given up to the licentiousness of the Fancy. —The place where the mailed Knight wielded his lance in gallant tourney, winning chaplets to throw at the feet of beauty, now breeds men for II Clicks in the gab, and closets forbye, Pocks on the nob, and, eke, the eye." But so it is, and Tom Cannon and his backer have to answer for the Hayesous crime. There has been more than usual sporting interest taken in this affair, and large sums have been bet on Ward at 5 and 6to 4. As the day of fighting ap proached, and the excellence of Ward's condition was ascertained, the betting became still brisker, and iCIS :sense wagers lay at 6 to 4. Several places were named for the battle, in order to defeat any determined oppo sition ; and it was not until Saturday that Warwick was declared definitively to be the spot. The coaches from town were immediately booked full, and it was amusing to see the milling multitude sweltering and broiling in the hot sun, on the outside of all the stages running within 20 miles of Warwick. We had a glimpse of a party of Ward's friends employing themselves on a cordial bottle, previous to starting, and select the fol lowing as a specimen of the poetical effusions which 'were sported on that occasion. It is a great pity the Poet Laureat does not interfere, and rescue the Muses from such company : Here's a health to thee, Tom Moore, • • • • • Nly beat is on the shore." my seat is with the guard, IM Richmond sow with me ; But ere I go, Jem Ward, Here's a double health to thee! Here's geed luck, and may'st thou win, And a groan for Cannon's fate, And foul or fair in fight, Jan, Nay you be never beat ! Before Igo, Jem Ward, here's a double heakh to thee! The stakes and ropes are round thee, The Fancy cheers thee on; And mighty sums surround thee, Suck sums as Spring has won. Wer't the last fight in the year, As I gas'd upon the ring, And fight thee foul or fair, 'Tis thee I'd wish to win. Before I go, Jem Ward, bere's a double health to thee ! In that fight, as it were mine, Thy glory I regard; • . May 'dory si iasilnr , - • - aticcoes ccoesto thei r Tem Ward ! • • 11000.1uhk, and nuy at thou And.a dt•osei Ib caassoa't raj, - And fouler fair In fight, Jem. • • • • • May you be•noVer. beat! .Aad before f go, Join Ward, here's a double healtli to ghee Those Whia t iciaow : anythipg of fighting are aware-that the partisgns are more violent than the principals, and what between.money and the hot, weather, there never were more virulent opponents .than in..this good cause. One of Cannon's friends, who chanced to hear the above most lachrymose jobbation,. clapped his spurs to, his Pegasus on the instant, and produced a sonnet of equal and most cruel merit. • " Sall on, thou fearless bark." •TO TOM CANNON. Fight on—fight iin,.thou fearless foe, . And whack this would-be hero Jem; •He cannot Mt so hard, we know, As thou, old Tom can slaughter him, • His blow that passes idly by Can never win the victory. Then catch him in the wind or eye, And, Tom, he cannot win from thee ! right on—fight on—fight at the face, , Be with him, Tom, till all he o'er ; Give him no time—no rest or space, 1 . And fight till he can come no more, And if you win, then you shalt be The pride—the best of fighting men ! Retire with wealth and dignity, And rest thee, Tom—but not till then ! Ward, attended by his trainer and backers, arrived at the Warwick Arms on Sunday night, but removed to a country inn, Cannon and Mr. Hayne came in the course of the same day to the Hotel, at Leamington,. where they had sojourned on the last fighting occasion. But times are much altered for the worse, and honest Boniface, who had once patronised the ring, has lately turned round to become an out-and-outer for the Church ; and Cannon and Mr. Hayne were absolutely , refused admission. They then went to the Swan at Warwick, where the landlord being a practical Sama- , titan, took them in, and gave them to eat and to drink.' It being then represented that it was prudent to take the actors in the approaching drama from under the eyes of the Magistrates, cur travellers were forced to make a third move, and found at last a resting-place at Stratford-upon-Avon, a town distinguished as the birth and burial place of a bard, of whom a London Alder man has truly said— • " Though Shakspeare's bones in this hem plate do lie, Yet that Mtn fame of his shall never die !" The town of Warwick has been made known to fame as the scene of the last fight between Cannon and Hudson, and, as though love of milling increases by what it feeds on,it was first in its application to secure the present bat. tle. After some dread of interference on the part of the Mayor of Warwick, and another alarm of a still mote astounding nature, no other than a report that the battle was to be a cross, and that Jens Ward was really to win, the arena was fixed upon. In the meantime the town of Warwick began to fill. The coaches from London, from Cheltenham, Coventry, and Birmingham, was loaded in and out, as if there were no such things as as Act of Parliament and Johnson, the informer, in exist• ence. The business of the world appeared suspended, and nothing thought of but the fight. The inns reaped an abundant harvest, and an advance in the funds was to be expected from the great investments likely to be made of profits secured on this occasion. The Warwick Arms, had it a hundred pair of arms, would have found employment for them all; and the Swan Hoppers werr equally numerous and clamorous. The post horses ► a devil of a time of it, and Many a beast that got no corn, Will rue the fight that day. : All the fighting-mea were present—and, in short, every patron and hanger•on 'of the Fancy, from Con naugh t•place to St. Giles's. Tuesday morning came, and as soon as " Day's porter had nohlog'd the paintedOmer, Chanticleer, the Ullman of the morn, Had summated twilight with his bugle-horn," the streets of Warwick echoed with the busy hum of men, all eager to know, and hasten to the scene of action. A stage was zed in a factory yard at War wick, but it was deemed more safe to have it out of the Mayor's jurisdiction, and a new stage was erected in a meadow, about three miles from the town.— This new ground, called Stank Hill, was given by the friends of a Gentleman not then at home, as they well knew bis sporting and liberal inclinations. The inns it Warwick, Leamington, and Coventry, were kept in constant requisition by arrivals of Noblemen and Gen try during the night, and a pretty harvest they made of it, what with beds a guinea a-piece, and every other accommodation in proportion. As to the posting houses, there was absolutely a golden shower for them —the same horses were paid thrice over for, and some of these gentry bad the conscience to charge 4s. a mile. As the morning advanced, immense multitudes, in every sort of carriage, on horseback, and on foot, were seen crowding on every road to the place of action, and by 12 o'clock not less than 15,000 persons were assembled on the ground, including a greater proportion of men of rank, high fashion, and fortune, than usual. The ring was beautifully situate at the foot of a gentle hill, round which circles of waggons and carriages, four deep,were drawn up. The intermediate space to the stage was filled by the country folk on foot, who also formed themselves in groups on several acclivities commanding a full view of the stage. The day was dreadfully hot, the thermometer being 87 in the shade; and from the sudden change of place, refreshments not being pro vided, this great crowd, wedged together, broiling and baking under a vertical sun, endured for hours suffer ings of which it is difficult to form an idea. At half-past twelve, Mr. Hayne, in his travelling barouche, brought Cannon on the ground, in company with Langan, Cribb, and Richmond. The backers of Ward brought their man on the ground in a handsome travelling carriage; and all the necessary preparations being made, the call was made for the men to come for ward. Ward, wearing a light dress and a straw hat, was the first to mount the stage, and his appearance was the signal for load and general cheering. He was attended by Randall and . Olaver ; we never saw a man appear more at ease, or in finer condition. Cannon was soon after introduced by Mr. Hayne, supported by Cribb and Spring, as bis seconds. He wore a black hat and a heavy blue dress, and his appearance altogether wanted the freshness and confidence of his opponent, though it was said he was equally sure of winning, and ,determined to rescue his character from the calumnies with which it bad been aspersed. Ward's colours were bide. with a white spot; and Cannon's deep crimson, also streaked - with white. The men went up to each (Aber immediately, and shook hands in the most cordial manner, and then proceeded to out!' cis at separate canners of the stag The' Isei • . inns stnpped,.Were Awed at .the itchtc*•, I y e'er seconds, and an awful pausu.seered to pervade the multitude. anxiously watching the Prot Operations. :When the men bad yowled, tha: condition attracted genital at ' telithii::t huh had die appearance allaying trained hard, and both were decidedly, lighter limn they werelront to enter the ring•—' Their exact .weight we havc before! stated.

He smiled, and bad an air of confidence, which put his friends in high spirits. The toss. for position Wei ism! by Cannon, and be was placed with his back to the sun.—Ward's weight was 12 stone albs. and Cannon's, 12 stone 10Ibs. • • THE FIGHT. . . At the moment of settlog.to there was a genera : l bustle and some confusion hi the crowd, but order was soon restored, and' all eyes were fised on the stage. The Men were brought to tfie scratch precisely at five minutes to one, and the seconds and bottle-ludders• retired to their corners. ROUND I.—Cannon came up as if determined to Lose no time I'll going to work. The position of Ward was fine ;he seemed armed at all .points for defence. Cannon advanced towards his man, broke ground, and hit right and left. Ward stopped him, re , treated and smiled. Cannon followed him, when Ward let fly with his right, and caught Cannon over the eye and drew first blood. Cannon, still busy, came In, but was stopped with I. left. handed hit in the throat, and blood was again visible.' A slik3rP rally followed, Ward retreating, stopping, and nobbidgtis man, as . he came in; at length they closed, and, after a short struggle, both went down together—(Chters for. Ward, who had decidedly the best of the round). . • . g. Cannon again came up oft the be.stiine system, and tried for an opening, Ward stopped him right and left, and stopping back-- 1 ward a pace, jobbed bins as he approached with his right hand over the left eye—(Shoats, " Go it, Jem").—Cannon, not dismayed, took this compliment kindly, and returned slightly upon Jem's cheek. A sharp rally followed, in which Cannon bustled to his man and got to's close. Ward twisted his leg between the legs of , Cannon and thrtiv him heavily., adding his weight to the severity of the fall. . . 3. On coming to the scratch, Ward let fly with his left. It was cleverly stopped by Cannon. Cannon then bored in, and Ward re tired fighting. As he retreated, Ward succeeded in putting •in two facers, but was at length bored down at the rails, and Cannon fell over him. Ward had a lucky escape from his head coining in con tact with the hoard Which skirted the stage, in his fall. Had this accident happened, in ill probability his fate would have been de cided. The chance of' such injuries forms one of the strongest objections to stage fighting. 4. On coming up, it isms seen that Ward had not received a blow which left a mark. He smiled, and stood to his guard, while Cannon, ill energy, rushed to the 'attack. Cannon made a right banded hit, but Ward was awake, stopped it, and drew back., Cannon immediately rushed in, and after a short struggle both fell. Ward under. _ 5. Cannon again endeavoured to take the lead, but Ward was too quick, and delivered several facers. Cannon, not dismayed, con tinued his assault in pliant style, and finally Ward,inendeavouriag to escape a right banded blow, slipped down on his hands. This was claimed by Spring as the first knock-down blow. 6. Cannon renewed the bustling system, but fought wildly, and was evidently exhausting himself by his own exertions. He missed several wen-intentioned blows, and as he followed his man he was met with a mossier. A sharp rally followed, in which Ward re. ceived e severe blow on the side of the head, and finally slipped down close to the posts. 7. Both came to the scratch panting. Cannon hit out right aid left with great wildness ; Ward retreated to the corner of the stage, and Cannon closed in to him. Ward met him as he advanced with It lacer, but was unable to break away. In this situation they both steed for a few seconds. Ward fibbed slightly, when at length Cannon threw hint heavily (shouts for Cannon, and a bet of 15 to 10 was taken by a good judge). S. Both men were the worse for their efforts in the last rend. The excessive heat of the sun seemed greatly to oppress them ' • and on coating to the scratch, Cannon, for the first time, sparred eau tinnily, while Ward waited for hint ; at last Cannon broke ground, and hit Ward under the ear. Jem retreated, but Cannon fought to a rally. In a close, Ward put in a severe messier, and threw Cannon irteavy fall, and at the same time dropped upon hint. 9,..oq.Cannon being lifted to his second's knee, the mischievous dit the last fall were obvious. He appeared quite groggy, W and wassevidently much • exhausted. On time being called, how ever, hieanie to the scratch with his accustomed game. He lost no t ime in rushing to his man, but Ward stopped him by a tre .mendovhlotv on the head. Ward then retreated to the 'comer of the ring. Cam= followed him, and, as it were, fen Into his arms. In tide state both stood for some seconds, and both apparently exhausted. : Ward smiled, and attempted to fib, but his hands fell alsooltmowetlees. At length Cannon dropt almost senseless, and Ward,.nnably to stand, fell upon him. It was now clear that the game was neatly up. Five to one on Ward, but not taker). • 10: 'Cribb and Spring both exerted themselves to restore their man to animation, but he seemed quite stupified, and came up reeling, as if tipsy. Ward, though unable to give weight to his blows, hit him left and right, and Cannon trying, as a last effort. to make returns, was his down by a facer, which completely took the fight out of him, and left him senseless on the ground. Time was called, bnt. Cannon was unable to answer it. He was immedi ately lifted on his second's knee, but was deaf to all eo .t. His bead dropped powerless on his shoulder, and the b Sowed copiously from his nose and mouth. Loud shouts of cengratralatien burst from Ward's friends, and be seabed to the side et Mugge, and shook hands with several of them. He afterwards approached Cannon, and took hint by the hand, but Cannon was insensible to his kindly feeling. Ward then descended from the stage, and mounting his straw tile, he was placed on a grey pony, and con ducted out of the ring in triumph. A surgeon, who was on the ground, mounted the stage, and immediately proceeded .to bleed Cannon in the right arm, from which he bled copiously, but • a full half hour elapsed before his senses were restored, and he was then so weak, that it became necessary to lift him into the carriage of Mr. Bayne which was drawn up at the side of the stage to re. mile him. ? The fight lasted but ten minutes, and the money which will change hands upon the result must be immense. Raxtxatta.—This battle afforded but-little for obser vation, and still less in the way of a - pugilittic treat to the amateurs who were present. Cannon from the outset pursued his bustling system, and seemed to think that upon that alone depended his chance of success.— . By his exertions in this way, however, from the oppres sive heat of the day, he only tended to expedite kris dc. feat, and we have no hesitation in saying, that his-final overthiow was as much occasioned by ekhaustion as • by punishment. In fact, on looking at him while in a senseless state, there appeared to have been no very great severity in the blows which he had received, His principal injuries were to be attributed to his falls. which were certainly very heavy. Ward fought throughout with great steadiness, presence of mind, and caution, and may be said to have won without a scratch—but, like Cannon, we do not think he could have stood up much longer, notwithstanding the excel lence of his condition. He had two severe falls, and but one blow of any importance, and that was under the left ear. SECOND FIGHT—BETWEEN DICK CURTIS AND PETER WARREN. The stage was now cleared for the fight between these little ones, and they soon afterwards made their appearance, attended by their respective seconds and bottle-holders. Curtis was attended by Josh. Hudson and Harry Holt, and Warren by the Streatham Youth, and Barney Aaron. This was the fourth time in which these men had met in battle array. in the former fights Curtis had been invariably successful. Warren was not yet satisfied, and had interest enough to induce his friends to give him one trial more. Dick now fought him 1001. to 901. and so confident • were his friends of succesr, that they backed him in the outset, at 2 to 1. Both men were particularly attentive to their training, and it was thought Dick was lighter than in any of his I former battles; while Warren was somewhat heavies'.: This, however, made no difference in .the opinion of. Dick's friends, and they still backed him at heavy odds to win. Dick, on Mounting . the stage, brought with him several handkerchiefs, which he offered to the' .bye-stand:is upon the condition of keeping them fix' not:ong if he r"st, and paying-a 'guinea . he *On : upon these conditions he succeeded in parting iv.ttt some of his stock. Warren, it seems, went down td Warwick alone, and had the mortification trf finding himself deserted by his friends; while Pick„ on the con trary,: was attended by a large bojy of his advirers. This veil discouraging. to !ric geter; but 'he main tained his spirits, 'and , expresseJ his determination not to cry " enough," so 1:Ing as he could lift an atm to his head. On stripping, both men at); eared to be in excellent condition, and the light symmetry of Dick's persol excited general. admiration: He was, in fact, a perfect cabinet-piece of boxing machinery. tvery point well turned, and finished grace and elegance in every motion. It was i m p oss ible to imagined anything more coinp!ete. Warren ippeaied 14tger and taller, but the difference of weight and height %yrs not strikingly obvious. f~ THR FIGHT. Rooms 1.. On advancing to the watch, the positions of both men were eseellept, Dick's left hand in advance was ready for immediate operation, whlie. Warren, as if aware of its terrific severity, kept up his right to stop its approach: Sparring for some time. Warren made an ineffectual feint. Warren at length bit to the body with his left, but in return received a sniashing bit on the jaw, and this was (allowed quickly bir anothe r of the same sort, and on the same -place, by Dick' s left.. A rally follerred, in which there were some counter-hits, when Dick closed and ebbed. Warren was thrown, and Dick upon him. - • • S. Both men again cautious, and Dick looking out to deliver his left-handed teaser. The opportunity soon arrived, and he bit War ren a terrific blow upon the sight cheek, which he cut to the bone, and at the same time drew the claret from his nose—(shouts of ap. plasm from Dick's friends). Warren snuffled, but not •dismayed, he instantly closed, and threw Dick a cross-hattlick: S. Warren came up distilling claret from his wound, when Josh einlainted ". What a smock, my man is the seventh wonder of the • worldise Is the sob of the seventh son." Dick smiled,' and wat ready for action. Both *erred with caution; 'at length Warren rushed in, seine good ititetalithar followed, when Dick closed, threw his man, and heavily upon him—( Five to one upon Dick). 4. Rick Baia sated his heft hand on Warren's mazsle.— Warren tusbedikand a rally followed, in which Wee was good ightlag ea both Min. In the end, Di& tbre* his man t severe back fall—(sheets et admiration from all parts of the ring). S. This was a good laic mead, in which interehanges took place, but Dick's left was again efeetually brought into action. Warren was not idle, but caught Dick a tremendous smack on the mouth, and cut him severely on the under lip. He then • closed, and threw him a km/ fall (Peter, in his turn,was loudy cheered). 6. Dick came up ble edi ng copiously from the• lip, but still in good spirits. Sparring for some time, when Dick again let fiy his left on Warren's nob. A rally followed, in which both behaved like Trojans. In the end, Dick caught Warren under with a . chin chopper, and as he staggered away he bit him down. • 7. Bosh came up game to the back-bone, but Warreq.was evi dently on the go. Dick, cautious, seemed to have. rensived to finish the fight in this round. At last his terrific left came'smash into Warren's chops. and the sound of the blow was distinctly heard in every part of the ring. _Weems shook his riot , and rushed ro a rally. Dic k was ready, and hit him dowu i r u thr and left, al most In a state of insensibility. • Dick laughed, Walked to his second's knee. It teas now a guinea to a shilling tni Dick, and on time being called, Warren was unable to come. The battle lasted but thirteen minutes, and Dick's victory was hailed by loud cheers from his friends. . . . Rama ants,—Warren never had a chance; he was altogether. outfought: Dick's superiority in•the outset was decisive, and we think that Peter will.now tee the impolicy of again challenging a man, to whom he is scarcely fit to hold a candle. It is but due to state, however, that Warren did his best—that he fought man fully, and that he did net cry ball, until nature had deserted him. This fight afforded a beautiful specimen of the set of pugilism, and an ample recompense for the disappointment which attended that by which it had been preceded. There was, in tact, no comparison in point of scientific merit between the two exhibitions. 1 NATURAL PHENOMENA. . . . . The thermometer, at the Royal Exchange ye;teiday, at tea o'clock in the morning, was at 76; 4 oneo . pirc it was advanced to 85 ; and subsequently it rose 4 big!' as 864; but at five o'clock it was at sq.

On Sunday, for in stance, it is stated to have been three degrees higher than at the same .time. on Saturday; but on Sundays the great gates of the Exchange (close to one of which the glass is) are kept shut, ihereby both increasing the relloction of beat upon- the glass, and dinning out the current which affects it on other _days.
