him out—Llit him, Langan). At length the Chairman restored order, and the orator resumed his place, and was about to proceed, Ind his nerves were unequal to the interruption, " rox faucibus bee4it," and gasping for breath, he sunk in confusion on his seat. In consequence of this accident, the ceremony was hastened to a con clusion, ird a select portion of the company retire,' to the Coro-market Hall, where a grand dinner was pre pared, and several loyal son7s, toayts, and sill: ; me w s were sported.

Sublime was the morning all Dublin awoke, And grand was the farewell in chorus which spoke To Langan success arid renown in the ring. oh, Langan! oh, ILI not your knuckles repose 'Till the pride of the Saxon sink under your blows ; Ilit straiglr, and give weight to each hand as it flies— catch hi: wind, if you can, and then darken his eyes, And add to your glory the conquest of Spring. lithe fame of Sir Daniel Dan Donnelly, I.4ight, .13: dear to your heart, recollect that this fight T o you greater triumph and honour ma/ bring ; For thou, son of Ilihernia, thy cause is the same— You strip, as he script, for a title and fanie; Athl qb, may a Peerage proclaim your renown, And Lengan the noble be the Lord of lliktown, If you add to your glory the conquest of Spring.

Ireland's anticipated glories were however still to be perchased, aod yesterday was the day appciated fin the struggle; nothing has occurred in the Wag for n.suiy years, not even the fight between Randall :Lod Miner, that excited so much interest as this affair be tween the Champion of the ri t and Langan. Since tle first battle fought by these heroes all the pubic-houses in London and even places of better result have hetet familiar with their names, and this second trial for vic tory gave hit th to as many hopes and feats, as any mai, of moderate propensities in the way of lame need de sire to be connected with his history. Bicgraphical sketches are toeless. Everybody knows, or at least ought to know, that Tom Spring is the Cha in of England, a title transmitted to him by Ciibb. The casuists in milling may have some scruples as to tie legality of his succession. At all events he does last hold the piece by right of concrest ; but as CI ibt, thought proper to cover him with all his own lintels, it • is right that he should wear them as long as he can.— Langan deter Mined to transplant them to his own brows. He made one attempt and failed, but the prize was too glorious to be given up without a second. The colonists of St. Giles's, si those bowers of iono- : truce and ease," never closed an eve on Saturday night, or if they did it was only to dream or Langan. Waeers all sorts and sizes, from oae pound ta ref t, , tt oni a • ! e7t of heavy to a rump and dozen, fiew round at C , ": places of resort, but though Splieg's admirer, were full of confidence, they seemed rather shy of oacki;i; host ..t the high odds den imply a certainty ti success. Our re:tiers are acyraiated with every circums:anc.- connectid s ith this match up to the fixing of the ground at Chichester. When tile fast cadet for Warwick w a s given, Langan started betimes, but tine Paddylike, he began his route with a practical bull, and took the Lymington coach, instead of the Leamington. Ile was set right by the coachman, and then shot straight away for the proper spot. On teaching his destination, he thew received the letter which had been dispatched by Captain O'Neil, one of his backers, inoirming him that he must return immediately to Salt Hill, with a view to his being re moved to Chichester. Langan was a little vexed at this summons, but he had no alternative, and prepared to retrograde on the ensiling morning. In the interim, Captain O'Neil, apprehensive that some mistake might occur, set off hirs..ell f for Leamington, and returned post, with Langan in his company. Toey reached Salt. Hill at twoo o clock on Monday morning, and Langan was sect to bed to obtain a few hours' rest, but his mind was so agitated that he was unable to steep, and he rose at five to take his customary walk, in which he was joined by his friend, Tom Belcher, Who has taken a pal Ocular interest in his welfare, and has mainly coutributed to his obtaining a large share of the battle money. 'While matters were thus in progress with regard to Langan, Pierce Egan was dispatched by Mr. Jackson to Chi chester, to make the necessary Arrangements for the Choice of ground, and the erection of the stage. Buried ar. tale extremity of the county of Sussex, nei ther sea-port nor inland, this city has for years Lad a doubtful and amphibi. us existence. Disregarded by the sailors, laughed at by the !monies, imimproved by Cockney intercourse, its inhabitants have grown sleek and soft-headed in this monotonous existence, and an iezident like a fight for the Championship was cauelit et as likely to raise them to importance, and give one i.eetare to their dull imnals. nogherty and Ben Burns reoght near this place some years since. It teas a had i.eht, and a rainy day ; but it has served as a standing ever since. Woe to those who have ears to listens buttonholes to be laid hold of, for the next half cent :try 1 Grand Usher, on his arrival, was hailed v:ith acclamation, and business immediately commenced. Engineers of high talent were summoned to prepare flans for the construction of the stage, and in the course et the evening the field of hattie was inspectee, a:id `;parked out with scientific precisicn. The spot el:0;cl vas certainly extremely well calculated for the object view. It was a large ploughed field, situated abce.tt tlnee miles from Chichester, one side of Iyhic': was ',or dered by the canal, and it was only approachable ft oto tae town by means of a draw-bridge, over whieil air the passengers, horse or foot, must pass. llte people of Chichester, with all their have shrewd notions of the depth of a stranger's pociscc. An non bri.itre over the canal commanded the eiltr.ince 1 " the i-tround. This was to be made a draw-bride for 0.1 S.

These were the golden hc•as (It tit:ep, indeed. On Monday strangers began to ar rtt tad the prinz.ipal men of the London ring collected. Cribb was brought down in a dashing baroncbe, and vas r egarded with great interest by the natives. Spring, suppotteJ by his patrons, landed at the Swan Inn about seven in the evening, and was received with three hearty cheers. He seemed in high condition, full of confidence, Anti in great spirits. 'Anglin arrived at the Dolphin, in t!e c.ttriage of a gallant Colonel, nearly a t the same time, evidently s uff er i ng f rom excessive fat igue. He was attended b Tom Belcher, uncle: wh..c c.tre he ‘‘ , 4 , 0 n put to lied. Spring was (rite fredi, and after a light supper, took a short walk at eleven o'clock, nd then retired. Spring's friend.; spoited the blue spotted kerchief, and Langan shinlcd die black flag under which he fought at War ce ter. The Lady of an Irish Military Gentleman' isished to present him with a green kerchief, but he de clined it, as he said he did not like the appearance of ninional animosity or distinctions. He was then c - implimentei with a black scarf, which he ac cepted from the fair donor with profound devotion. There was some difficulty in coming to an understand ' ing about the 2001. promised for or by the landlord of • the S van, Mr. Ilewlings, on condition of the fight taking place near that town. If it were not deposited, Langan 's friends talked of stopping the fight. It was at length agreed that one-half should be posted for the losing I man, and the other paid when the fight was over. This precaution was necessary for Mr. Hewlings' protection.. ',Betting in the meantime was three to one cuvrent on Spring, and thu s c lo se d t h e n i g h t b e f ore t h e battle. Tuesday morning began with the ringing of bells, the rattling of coach-wheels, the *mining of chamberinaids, :and roaring of Boots, and all the usual accompaniments of accommodation or one claimed by three. Bed s dered were found disordered, and breakfa , :s cont manded were illegally co-sumed. Such doings the Swan and the Dolphin never saw ; such great Oiings Chi chester never contemplated. The lint inquiry was for the men. Spring rose as he should be—b;:ier he cou!ri • not. Limgan had a good n;ght's sleep, and xo,e lik ea giant refreshed. lle breakfasted in high :lee, and spoke fidently of success. Spring's we;ght was about and Langan not m‘ne than I2st. Fatigne and over training appeared to have reduced him a few points towel than the ma: k. Belcher, as a second, was much is his favour, but th•c: bottle-holder, instead of being a weil•practised man, was fixed on a novice of St. Pa tri.:k, a Milesian of six feet and timrteen stone. By eleven o'clock, several hundred carriages from Lon don, Brihtifn, and the vicinity of Chichester, pouted and the word was given for the ground, b u t just at AA: :itig a new difficulty arose, which threatened to end use t• furies of the dry. The fighting men are, vet y of bi oken bones, hat more partial to the cor dial restorer—the blunt, and with more courage than courtesy, took post on the entrance to the ground, and collected clowns and half-crowns innumerable lions the curious, much to the prejudice of Mr. Hew hugs, who had DM/. to pay, and no prospect of reim but sine; himself from his own waggons and ground.— lie swine he would cut down the stage. "Saw away," said Simplicity; " when we have collected our expenses wu will pay over the balance." A good deal of alter cation followed, but ultimately Mr. Hewlings main tained hi; exclusive privilege, but at the same time gave up some of the waggons as a return for the assist ance which be had received from Shelton and one or tw:i e. The stage was a strong platform, raised six feet from the gr0,0,..1, ina,:e of deal plal.ks, Once inches thick, atid eli.lC.'sy squat e, fenced by a foot-bottrd, and dace buts .t: eaeli ,idei The kints of the floor %vete SIZIOULi:, and die bars and uprights rounded at he comers Lo guard against accidents to the men.— There w.ts no /tic:jet:lion beyond the 21. feet, but at one coiner, whare .1 seat for the umpi:e and time-keeper was precis-A. f Ir. iackson, accompanied by Lord Uxbridge, Colonel 13‘. keley. and several other Gentlemen of re,:pectability, shoal.; aftem ards made their appearance, and the ring wits cicated ot:t to the ropes. A better formed ring, or a more orderly assemblage %vete, perhaps, never wit nessed on any similar occasion. _ There were now some faint offers of three to one, but there we►e few takers, betting had clearly been brought to a conclusion. Mr. Jackson then read the articles, which were given in the STAR at the time the match was made. All the term; hid been complied with. Mr. Jackson, on finding that all was prepared, desired that the men u►ight be brought in, and in a few se conds Spring came tUrward. The moment he was seen, he was hailed with general acclamations. He threw his hat on the stage, and forthwith followed it. His manner was cool and collected, and although there was a smile of confidence on his countenance, still he did not manifest any unbecoming levity. At this moment the assembled multitude seemed to feel with Peter Corcoran— Oh! it is Life to see a proud And dauntless man step full of hopes, Up to the P. C. stakes and ropes, Throw in his bat, anti with a spring Cut gallantly within the ring. Langan, although , econd in appearing, was equally well received. Ile mounted the steps leading to the stage w.th a firm step, and, going up to Spring, said, " " Well, Toni, we'll se.: to-Jay w hi c h i s th e b es t man. ' 4 We will," stil Spring, " and the best man will win the tight. " Right," said Langan, " and I'm sure we'll both Jo our best." " Stop your &Slug," cried Tom Cribb, " acid prepare for work." Langan ..vas attended by Tom Belcher, and his coun try rr.an, O'Neil, a rough unpolished mountaineer, the tamer as second, the latter as bottle-holder. Cribb was second to Spinil, ai,d Painter was his bottle holder. Langan Wilt; first strioped, and while he waited for Spring to perform his toitetc, he looked round with great v.::o.1 h tmour towards some of his triends, to ~horn he nodded fainiliArly. .it this time the sun •iicite with intense heat, and the men might be said to almoct broiling under its influence. " Have you as.y cold ereani, Pat ?" said Josh. " Devil a cream," said Langan, " but mother's milk," pointing to the brand! b•ntle. Sfi jog being ready—the seconds tossed fol• situation, and the toss was tvon by Bel good," cried Langan, " we won the tars: notch," and Belcher inAde the scratch with chalk. C.ibb then tied his ni:tn's colours to the upper rail of the stare ; they were blue with a white spot ; and Bel zher tie.l Mrs. O'Biien's black . gift to Langan over it. '• Sprinkie my eyes," cried Jodi, " that looks black." " Aye," cried Randall, " but Joniebo y will look Glue bel.):e its over," and he winked at Langan. All was auw ready for THE FIGIIT. --:.---" The shout " Of battle row tyzgali, and rushing sound " Of onset ended soau each milder thought." M I LTON, On the m e n coining to the scratch, at three minutes after one, Langan desired Spring to examine 114 belt, with a view of seeing whether mere was anything unfair. Spat% complied with his wishes, and shoved hi s b e l t i n turn. Spring's attitude combined elalticity, firmness, and elegance. His fine person glowed with health, and his brow with manliness, modesty, and resolution. Lie was in the Ernst condition, and justified his own a:•!(1 his hackers ' confidence. Langan stood firmly on his ground, cheerful and hearty, butrvhout the elega nce t h at di st i ngu i s h e d S pr i ng. He NV IS re duced without his fighting weight, and showed indifft•rent condition. Spring was stated to weigh thirteen stone stteen 'minds. and Langan twelve .stone four pounds and a half. For a few minutes not a spectator r^nnA t!!•• st.te breathed more than was abs , ,lntely neces sary to preserve lite, and ever y tesigne was as silent as if it had been dried and salted for six mouths. V 7.111 ready, the seconds retired to cash corner of tha stage, the men shook bands and stood in attitude. Hound t. The min threw thernselvos into position. when both their attitudes were extremely fine. Spring was cool, colk•cted, and watchful. LanAan seemed all anxiety to commence—they sparred for a short time, and Langan made play. Sprint, Imwev:tr, was ready, and stopped his intended compliments. Spring, in hi: turn, hit out and succeeded in plantinr, a I.'usv on Lanttan's as feint • Its. Langan now rushed in fur a duet., and seizing Siring by rite 'boulders, he endeavoured to grapple with Wm for the fall. Spurr was awake to this game, and would not suffer him to entwine legs. The effort was mutually nervous and ingenious, but Sluing ultimately let loose his right hand, and with the tap:di:) of light. fling hit Pat on the sweler. II?, then got away. and :is:it-ling re commenced, a short r 'lle followed, in which e :•,ine interchanges, followed by a second dreg, for 1.701.:ati anxious to display his power of throwia,;. liiiwevtr, ready customer, and after a lon-; wre•itio, during which !Ali: niti"cle on bath saes was tilt - etched to its titmo,t, S rind succeeded in get ting the thro..v, and Langan fell on his knees.

A close and long wrestle, in which the in eugth and talent of both were di+. played; ultimately both went down, Spring under —Time, two minutes and a half. 5. Spring was again at work, and jobbed Langan on the head. Nlutual stops. Spring put in a smaslitr with his left, and published a second edition with his right. Langan's sarflihkr was in the way, and bled profusely. Langan smiled and made play. Spring was cautions, waited for his opportunity, and agai❑ visited his mug with a terrific facer. The claret flowed in all directions, Spring closed, and Langan was thrown heavily on his bat k. Spring eyed him coolly as he lay prostraLt. 6. Counter hits on the face; T.angan followed Spring to the corner of the stage, and closed; Spring grappled him, like another I lercules, and succeeded in panting a bloWon his pule ; both down in the struggle ; Spring vamped up and laughed. 7. Spring in this round displayed all those tactics for which he is S 3 celebrated. lie hit Langan a tremendous blow on the Lee, and got away ; this be repeateil on the ear, and again jobbed bins in the nose. Langan ende tsnured to get iw, but Spring met him with his ifist again, and retreated. Langan's style of fighting was now ob jected to by his friends, and there was an universal cry of " right, Langan ; fight, Langan ;" and a vigorous rally followed, in which Langan was punished severely about the bead. A close, and Langan thrown; Spring stagger, to his second's knee. This was a heavy round, and both men much distressed.—Time 4i minutes. 8. The odds were now 6 co 1 ag iinst Lanais ; still he cum menced fighting, hut was stopped by Spring ; in a close he went down quite weak (Cries of "it's all up"). 9. S.op for itop. Siring tried the weaving system on Langan's head and holy—sm.cee.:ecl, and he went dowu weak. In. It now observed, that Laugait's blows made !tale im p: e,siun, and:lithougli always ready to go to work, he did little mk t:Het Sprio:r got away from intendA favours, and T.-mgan rushed to a close—a hog wrestle, which IVI:Iliflatt1 by pulling Langan dowu with violence upon himself. It was easily seen how the thing lay, Langan had a lion's heart, but :^pring's head was too much for , him. He stood well to receive, hut could not give, or rather Spring would not stand to receive from bins. 11. Spring saw his way clear, and smiled at his man, as if be were a froward child. Langan had not lost a point of his conlidatc':, and began at the wind with goad judgment, but with too short an arm. In the struggle for the fall Langan caught hold of his man's drawer;, but this was objected to. Ile tried all the manoeuvres of Donny brook for the fall, but Spring had the best of it in every way. In fact, his condition was evidently better than the Pa ddy-t tan's. Langan was under in the falL—Time, one minute and three (patters. 11.1. Close at once. Spring went down, and Langan rolling over him. Belcher seemed strangely puzzled, by the restriction of keep ing at the corner of the stage away front his man.—Time, half min. _ . IS.

Langan encore trying to lead ; but he hit short, and was weakly returned on by Spring.— lioth slipped dowa. 15. The men closed and wrestled at the bars. Spring actually came sitting on the centre bar, Langan between his knees—there h. held him, snorting like a young colt, by main force, and rmi:inur.l punishing him hand over head. Spring grappled lian;an round , ha' shoulders, anti he slipped through his area:—ai he was fal.ing hit him on the head (Cries of Foul, hut tlie kanpirrs derided fair). 16. Spring hit at Langan's bead, but Lanzaa countered success. fully—another wrestle at the stakes, and atter a long hug, both went down together. As they lay on the ground, they laughed at each other, aad Langan, good Immouredly, tapped Spring on the breast—(Cries of bravo). 17. Spring stopped prettily, and some heavy blows were inter changed. ln a close Langan succeeded in givirg Spring a heavy cros—huttock : as he fell. his legs rebounded from the ataga like a tennis ball—(Sbauts for Langan, hut no betting.) 18. Langan Clewed a faint glimpse of second wind, and came up boldly; mutual stops, and some hard interchanges : in a close Langan thria•xn. it It %V3s now seen that Spring's left hand was gone. and that he could make tin use of it but to cop. In a clo,e Spri: , ...; threw Langan with a fling, and walked front hint with great coolness. DI Spring looked much jaded. Langan came up and was again called to light, and not waste his strength in wrestling—he took the hint, and hit Spring on the side of the nob, but received severely in return. A rally followed, and then, as usual, a wretle, in which both went down. Langan under. 21. Spring planted some good facers. Langan returned slightly. In a close Spring got the fall, but both men were greatly exhausted by their exertions. 22. Good stops on the part of Spring, who scarcely ever took the lead. Another wrestle; Langan thrown; and it was now clear to all that Langan's supposed superiority in throwing was a mere fiction, as Spring was always even with him, and in most cases superior. - 23. The punishment was most with Langan, although Spring's left cheek and eye were puffed a little, but neither were much hurt. Langan put in a facer and closed. Spring held him as if he was in a vice, and then suddenly loosing his gripe, fibbed him cruelly on the mazzard. Langan down. 24. Langan came up as game as ever, and hit Spring on the mark. Spring panting, but not spewing a scratch. Pat's beauty from home. In a dole I.Jn3an thrown heavily. The fight had now lasted y-two minutes, and Cribb laughed as he looked at his man, who sbewed little or no punishment, save the blows on his cheek and eye. Ilia bands however were very much puffed. 25. Langan fresher than in the last round. Gut clear from a body blow—Spring on the same tack. Langan broke in, but was met by a staggerer on the mouth. Ditto, ditto, and was then knocked down with a straight right-baud blow on the head. 26. Langan was at the scratch like true game, but only to receive two !remendous facers by Spring. He would not go down. " Now,' Spring," was the call, " to finish ;" but Sl'ring was too safe to give a chance away. He threw his man cleverly. 27. Langan's bead sheaved a hideous picture. He was well on his legs and his arms ready to stop, but he could make no band of Spfing. lie went down from distresi. All these rounds were dispatched in minute time. 28. Langan broke ground with judgment. Spring followed hint into distance, and planted a miloniau on the forehead. " Fight away, Langan" from all sides.

After a moment's pause, he began again, but was floored. "Bravo,Langan," (said an amateur,) your heart is too hig for your powers." Sri. Langan received three flush bits on the nose, and was down. --[One of the Fancy now exclaimed, " Belcher, what did Justice Park say ?"). 57. Langan came up again, but had no chance.

Ilelcher ...id he was not Anne yet, and btinging his man to the scratch, cited "fight, light, Poor Langan, although perfectly stupili. d, pricked up his ears at the word of command, and rushed in upon Spring, but lie was thrown heavily. 75. Another round—Spring fibbed his man, and laid him down gently, evidently wishing- to avoid administering more punishment. 74. Lin. , an pushed down without a blow. 75. As Langan sat almost senseless on O'Neill's knee, Cribb ad dressed him, and said, So help me, Goa, Langan, you are as brave a man as ever stepped in leather, but you have not a shadow of a chance, so don't be ganonoored to come again."

The umpires now said that it was cruel to go further, and Belcher reluctantly gave in. From zhe 60th to the 77th round, s r ring had had it ill his own way, but gained no credit for the slowness of his finishing; huma nity prevailed over science. Langan, at the close of 'lvry round, appeared dead beat, and on his second's knee seemed all but gone. With dropping head, and fallen mouth, Belcher patted, nursed him, and took the best care to restore his energies. lie was brought up to the scratch almost unable to stand, but his heart then plucked up, and he thus fought half an hour longer. The fight lasted an hour and forty-eight minutes. The victory was hailed with loud acclamations by the friends of Spring, at the same time they could not withhold their pity for his game antagonist. Spring has, by this second contest, vindicated his own prowess, and confirmed his title to the Championship of England; he fought throughout with great coolness and circumspection, but still did not finish his man so quickly as his superior weight entitled his admirers to expect ; he is, in tact, not a bard hitter, or the battle must have been over in half the time. Ile fought better at Worcester. Ile is a great general, but a bad executioner. He won his honour, bravely, and long may be wear them. Langan has ; unquestionably, proved hintseif as brave a man as ever entered a ring, hut he is no fighter; he does nut use his hands with anything like effect. Game alone will not do ; he must learn to give as well as to receive. In this case he seemed to have relied upon his power of the owing, but in Spring he forind his equal. Ile was a good deal punished l tscut the head, and his falls were, no doubt, extremely severe. Spring stewed but few mat ks, and none that will last above a few days, with the exception of his hands, which were dreadfully disfigured Irofu coming in contact with Lan gala% hard nob. Ji Iloc4on, we are satisfied, wourd have settled the atfair in half the time, The men were conveyed to their respective inns, and no doubt a Large subset iption to reward Langan for his gallantry. % t A t'
