r• ible ton- In a bisi Bonpax NIGHT BIZTWZINAIoo A S Rauen lDßl-Y t iIa RSTE RDATig AND YOUNG' GAS FOR Y. ---- - The ancient town of Havant, within nine miles of Portsmouth, was appointed as the head-quarters of the belligerent:l and thither they proceeded on Sunday, Ren ben Marren entrenching himself at the Dolphin, Young Gas it the Bear, Harry Jones at the George, and Ike podd at the Black Dag. The" office" was given through out the county of the intended treat, and the sensation produced was of the most extraordinary description. MI ranks seemed equally on the alert, and every topic of discussion, save that of willing, was laid aside. In the co urse of Monday the town of Havant overflowed with visitors from the surrounding villages, anxious to take a peep at the combatants, and bustle prevailed to a late hour of the night; while those who had come from a distance, and were desirous of accommodation near the scene of action, found no small difficulty in obtaining beds, which, from there being but five inns and public houses in the town, were- only procured at high prices, the lowest figure for a very inferior " Shake down" being ss. Many of the Londoners proceeded on to Portsmouth, or %topped at Chichester, and thus saved themselves from the nailing system ; although, perhaps, at some addition to their tratelling expenses. Great pains had been taken to " make all right" with respect to the place of meeting, and positive assurances were given, that in Haling island, wh•ch is in the parish of Bosmere, in the county of Southampton, and within two miles of Havant, no interruption would take place. The island is joined to the maid land by a wooden bridge, on which the tolls are very expensive,. and. therefore, this might be an additional inducement: to give preference to such I Ipot ; but, from Swhatever cause the preference arose, it was frustrated, as will appear in the sequel, itithe most mortifying manner. At an early bouilestirday'morning a few odd strag glers began va drop into' head quarters ; but the great bu:k of the amateurs did not arrive till about eleven, when a most lively and ehettful scene was ptesentbd. Carriages of all descriptions, including many drawn by four h orses, tandems, curiiclea, landawi, baroucHes, and gigs, came pouring into the town frotb every diection—Postsmouth,• Chichester, Brighton, and Southampton, all furnishing their contributions. Par ticular at ention la as atiraeted by one ;flash drag filled with Corinthians, who were accompanied by key bugle players, who infused the most lively sensations an ough oor the throng by playing " Hnyra, for the bonnets o' blue," in good style; a tune particularly applicable to the scene, as blue was the coloor both of Marten and Gas, and this popular song was composed by Lee, sun of Harry Lee, the celebrated pugilist. As it mined our, however, harmony was not long to be the order of the day ; for, as the patrons of the fistie art came like a torrent from one end of the town, they were suddenly stopped by the approach of Tom Oliver ' Harry Holt, Jac. Fobwick, Frosty-laced For k sad Jack Clarke, rushing from the othet-a-Abeir hautetnadltrg on end like quills upon the firing porcupine, _As if anxious to escape the fate of Hairgierpthee, dint Atwater! to .seek safety in flight from some horrific monster of the sea. For a time all were brought to a stand-still, and thel alarm became general ; but after a moment' s p ause an d explanation was obtained. It turned out, in fact, that ahhougls there was nothing supernatural in the cause of • their Hight, there was sufficient to justify their speety roma. In plain terms, the " beaks," or rather the myr. midinns of the beaks,,weie at their — haunches. While busily engaged in forming the sing or. Haling I s land, lour constables approached, and announced in a friendly say that they were armed with authority to apprehend' Reuben- 'Marten,,and his co-boxers, if they ventured to' exhibit their talents in die hundred cf Bosmere; and' thelef.re advised that some other scene m i ght be chosen: for their eaplaits. This was sufficietit ; and hence their sudden return.to the place which they had left. A Cosisell al War was immediately held at the Bear inn Upon the coarse which it might be. prudent to adopt; anti attervarious suggestions, it was resolved to proceed to the adjoining county of gum:. W'estbourne Corn:. won, about four miles distant, was named as the new place cf rendexvou?, and thither the .Constirissary sod his assistants, followed by the anxious multitude,. at a round trot, set forward, giving additional evidence of the extraordinary interest which such scenes are. cal culated to excite in she breasts of Englishmen. Nothing could eiceed The regularity which prevailed in this movement ea nwsse. No accident or disturbance oc crred,and all reached the appointed arena in good order. The Stakes were soon pitched, an excellent ring was formed, and, at a given signal, Marten and Gas, who had come on the ground in carriages, each drawn by four hoses, made their appearance at opposite sides of the circle. They were loudly cheered by the spectators --some th usailds strong—and lost no time in flinging theircestors within the ropes. Marten was attended. by Jem Ilraid and Harry Holt, and Young Gas by Nat O'Neal and Ihck Curtis. After shaking hands they proceeded to their toilette, and were soon stripped. On coming to the scratch, their condition appeared to be of the first order, that of Reuben Marten more espe-, colly—he was completely " up to the mark," but it struck us there was a delicacy in the appearance of Gas which indicated that be was not in rude health ; still be looked confident, and his countenance betrayed perfect good humour. They fought for one hundred pounds a sife,and at setting. to Reuben Marten was the favourite at 6 so 1. TIIR FIGHT. Round I. At aia minutes to one operations commented : each man musta r d the other with fused attention, their guards well op, and their hearts in the right pla i ce. The ring was hushed Itiiilemmi 51 all ' kept tht line" with' arWtary precision. . But little thaw was occupied in marceuvring, when Gu commenced with gr 4 p'r'e , by endeavouring to plant Ms right on Reuben's nek'his A well over his sh ou lder, but Reuben was prepared, and Mt w it lore most desperately with Ms 'right also—the blew taught Mali I'd" I* eat with tee ripe force, and dropped him as it be were c° . ,• ,I• he lease coning first to the earth. Deafening shouts pro.

He rushed in, hitting right and left. Reuben ro" %ming the compliments, and retreating so as to keep him to out. • but Gas would nut be denied, be bored him to the corner, 1 a hit up as he followed, and was ultimately thrown: +I; recovering again, rushed to its-fighting, hit away risise ia.but without precision. Reuben endeavoured to meet hid a flush hit in the face; but Gas got within dhitance, and °I effectual was done. It was desperate, but wild fighting oa sides, and in the conclusion both were down, Gas Mao'. Gas more cullected, but equally oo the burle, charged with and hit away. Reuben retreated, and Gas hit him up with A spirited rctly followed, and as Reuben was raft is put out his leg and threw him. were now surprissrd that Gas had so completely recovinoll shock of his first round, and the layers of 5 to 1 bops le e. Gas, pursuing hit bustling system, again took Ma INd right, but missed his blow ; he fought wild, but new NNN Severely. Reabon was at him, and in • the I I "moo mach as is larboard etas, from which iris ion. la the scrambling work which followed Reuben w NI his knee", and Gas's friends were uproarious, while Reuben serious. again consosented, and some good counter-hits were ex it wawa fierce and vigorous rally, in which wino was set holdts...fighdng, and nothing but fighting-4n tho course of ttaißeiaben sopped it de the nob several times. In the close wuthrown and Gam appeared,* strongest. 7. Both,set eke work simultaneously; to fact, Gas wtliold allow sio time fiat coadderation. Reuben planted his one-two in good style, but received pepper in return, and Gas put In another poser on his left winker, which began to swell. Reuben rushed to - n close, and after a severe struggle both went down. 11. The determined game of Gas.aa well u the slight impression made by Rettben's blows, now made him a decided favourite, and bets were oared at 6to 4, but no takers. Gal set to work, bet Reuben got away, hitting out as his man followed. Gas at last caught his left over his seck,„and hit up well with his right, draw ing more dant from his eye and mouth, and finally shoving him down. a. Gas, still a decided favourite, put all science aside, and bored In, hitting right and left. Reuben retreated, in the hope of plant ing his favourite hits; but Gas was too quick, and although he caught some nasty bits, they were not safficienty effective to stop him ; at length be fell on his knees. 10. Rueb . Cn popped in his left over Gas's eye, when Gas once more rushed in fiercely, and catching Reuben again behind the neck held him down while be bit up—Reuben pegging away at bis body right and left. Reuben in the end, in pulling himself away, fell on his vitiation's. 11. Five to four on Gas. Gas hit out with his left at the body, and boring in again, bad Ruben round the neck, hitting away with his right. while Reuben followed him up, and put in several body bloWs. He at last broke away, put in a nobber, and in the close threw hip man. 12. Gas was still a decided favourite, and Retiben's face 'Mewed the greatest portion of punishment. 'Reuben now changed his style of fighting, and instead of trying for favourite straight hits, he mlopted.Gas's style, and went to work in the true " bull dog" style ; he darted at his wan right and left, and planted his blows well. Gas fought with him . ; but Reuben suddenly drew back, and jobbed hird three times in the phis. Gas rattled at him With vigour, and in the corner Reuben went down Gra rehalaing on his legs. 13. Wild fighting on both sides -..bit for hit—and severe return', in which Gas r:ceived a serious cm ewer his left eye, and bled pro: • finely. Alter a desperate rally both went,down in a scramble. ~ 14. ,Nothing bet straight forward figbtrag—desperate hits were garaged. Stopping was out of the liseranne, and weaving wan, tlkserder of the slag; at last Gas went down, Reuben preserving hr. Palentrakeim, and retiring to his weend's howl. His bard work, however, had blowsy" and be piped a lb% bikldll Ignited all confidence. • - ' e 15. Reuben came up all•life, and planted his with prei sloe. Gas lost no time in returning the compliment; and the blows rattled as thick as hail-stones round each other's heads, some taking effect,• others falling short; at, last, Reuben made a terrific bit with his right at Gas i neck, on the same apt* where Ws delivered the teaser is the first round, and again Gas was bit down as if shot ; was promptly picked up by his &moods, who renewed a Chevy in his ear; but he stood up and Milked stupified-Ads manner was wild, and to .all appearance he was incapable of judging for himself; while in this state, and standing close to the ropes, tune was called—to this, however, he was deaf—he did not move, and tine of his seconds said he could tight no more. To dais be made no objection, and Reuben was declared the conqueror in just sixteen minutes ; the lighting in each round having lasted upon au average thirty seconds. After Reuben bad retired front ttasii ring, Gas sdil stood by the ropes, and appeared insensible to what, had occurred; while hit backers showed great indignation, and,. indeed, expressed in strong terms their astonishment, that a man' who had shown such determined game un former occa sions, should have given in while able to stand firmly on his lege; and then, too, in opposition to his own assertion, thatbe would die before he would say " enough." Gas, however, seemed insensible to these taunts, and appeared still unconscious of what had happened. Rime ass.—The singular change in Gas after the first round ex citedthe astonishment of the Ring, and float the turn which he pro duced in the fighting afterwards, all backed Lim as a winner. The determined plank of Reuben, however, although his science was matey aside; enabled him to keep alive to his dutp and ulti tely to convince his friends that their confidence had not been misplaced. Gas seemed perfectly aware that at out fighting he had nut a chance, and be therefore judiciously wept to work with a resolution to allow n time for reflection ; hie to keep Reuben constantly on 'the bustle. This It was Witbiar t a n d e m e hi saum styleso wdeacalededannlymanafavourite;and dt thent :ebecnd h n n *a rs. ; eke tender spot completely " sewed hint up." After the fight wai aver, he was walking about the ring % not much the worse for wear,.and incapable himself of saying ha* he had been beaten.— •The cut over his left eye, and a severe swelling under his left ear, were the only prominent marks of punishment. Front the epee- Ultima which bad been formed among the " country folk" of Gas's prowess, the issue piths battle wai any thing bat satisfactory, and much disappointment was expiessed. HARRY JONES AND IKE DODD. These men first entered the ring, for ten pounds a-side, - battle money; five pounds aside, part of the Hampshire premium for milling and a purse. Dodd is the larger and heavier man of the two, and was backed at 5 to 4; but the Sailor Boy soon proved he wag the better fighter—he jobbed him right and left, hit up in admirable style, and In thirty-four 'minutes and eighteen rounds polished him of, almost without a scratared face, again proving himself one of the best boxers of hie weight in the ring. In fact, when he once gets the lead his adversary hat nut a chance. Dodd. -proved himself a complete masj, and could not plant an effective w.—Jones was seconded byTurtia and Stockman, and Dodd by Fuhsvick and Lewellin. . • t.l,:x. g ; nt K I a me Lori.

Quarter Sessions of the!Peace for the City and Liberty of Westminster, sad also to take into consi deratila the disbursements and receipts of the County, pursuant to the late Act, the Chairman and a Benda of Magistrates assembled at ten o'clock. The Returns were madeaceordingly, and there being no complaint, they were passed. The Grand Juries for the County and City were then sworn in, as were the respective officers, kc. The County Sessions commence at Hicks's Hall on Monday, and the traverser: for the City of Westminster will be tried to-morrow and Friday. There are some important cases for decision. SURREY SESSIONS. KINGSTON. OCT. 16. These Sessions commenced this morning before an unusual, in point of number,- Bench of Magistrates.— BRNJAMIN BARNARD, t.:%11. in the. Chair. The Grand Jury being sworn, and the reports of the Visiting Magistrates of the various Gaols of the County being received, Mr. Balsam brought . forward his motion on the sub jeci of the trial of prisoner' being proceeded with be fore the hearing of appeals. He stated,. that from the lateness of the hour (three o'clock), he would merely, eater itlto a brief statement of the circumstances which led him to make the. motion. On the day of the last County Sessions, which were held at Guildfosd, it was' represented to the Orion, - that the Grand Jury _suffered great Iskeinvenience from being summoned to atom! on **inlay of the Bess*" occasioned by Oa absence .of both' -prosecutors andswitarmes, It was at that tidk suggested that the Grandjury should be summoned for the second day, but that was found to he incompatible l with the legal constitution - olde Court. On that occasion considerable' inconvenience' was also sustained by parties' being tailed, and moil appearing, their recognizauces I were est:rated. All these inconveniences and delay were occasioned ,by -the bearing of appeals before the trials of thelsiisoners and the traversets, which occupied the time of the Court not unfiequently• for several days,' according, as they technically were said, to ""go off." Od the subject the labr was silent, and it therefore was a Pa** for the serious. consideration of the Court, whether the Grand and Petit Jur'es should be so incon- venienced for the accommodation of the Learned Gen tleasett who might benngaged in appeal cares. By a tecent7Act of Parliament the expenses of prosecutions and witnesses were, to a certain extent, defrayed; but that allowance was inadequate to the loss that a farmer or yeoman sustained by being absent from his home, besides the mischief that might ensue from witnesses waiting about for a length of time in a state of idleness. Another reason might be urged, namely, the great in crease of the county rate, by the attendance of witnesses for several days, when one might be sufficient. He concluded by moving, that iu future the trials of the prisoners and the travmsei take precedence of the ap• peals. lir. &soma. seconded the motion.—Mr. Scam's** Piposed u. The two Members of the County were in favour of it.as aprazporiment. and on the motion being pa by the -4a i irman, was catried by a majority of 11, the num 'bets being 18 for, and 7 against it. On the . motir n of Mr. Dearrisow, a Committee was • appointed to take into ronsidetation the Coal Meters Act, which expires in June next. as it regards the number, appointment, and duty of tho,t'ofßaers in the county. rgN4LTIES UNDER THE STAMP ACTS.
