1. 0.411; 4F E G I ANT PRINCESS LIZ. -7-- It is with the most unfeigned : sorrow that we have man notince the death of the infant Princess ELIZA ;OO, the dwhiauhter of the Duke and Duchess of oasc e, g plac c h took e yesterday morning at soo'clock. Notwithstanding the premature birth d h er Royal Highness, she continued to enjoy good to kh, and gained strength so rapidly, that not only o r illustrious parents, but also her physicians and attendants, entertained the most flattering hopes that s he would. survive, and that .the period of danger 01 , a lmost over. Oa Thursday night it was oh o/ea that she was D a little feverish, and in conse new Sir H. itALFORD and Sir W. KNIGHTON met A. HALLIDAY in consultation on Friday morn g, an d those Gentlemen were in constant attend anee.during the whole of that day, and also on satur day; but though her Royal Highness was con sidered on tbat day seriously ill, we do not under stand that the melancholy event was at all expected. Iler Royal Highness, however, must have been con sidered at the latter part of Saturday to be in a dan physicians did not separate till prow state, as the eleven o'clock on that night, and Sir A. HALLIDAY did n ot go to bed at all. A little before one o'cloc k yes terday morning a change took place, when we itnder stand the Princess was observed to be in a convulsion fit, from which her Royal Highness did not recover. Ms s weet infant breathed her last about t en minutes past one o'clock. As the spasm with which the Princess was must grievously attacked went off, her Royal Highness appeared as having fallen asleep, the countenance being so placid. The amiable and suffering Duchess was called in time to see her dear and only child expire. Her feelings at the moment m ay be conceived, but cannot be described. When the Royal and afflicted parent was informed that t here was no longer any hope, her Royal Highness, i n the greatest distress of parental feelings, fell into the arms of her equally afflicted husband, who had no t gone to bed, to whom her Royal Highness ex chimed, in an agony of pious grief and resignation, • The Loan gave her, and the Lotto bath taken her aw ay—Ever blessed be be his name, for ,three,of the happiest months of my life in her company 1" In these awful and overwhelming moments of grief, the Royal Duke supported the Duchess to her roo m, where, from his soothing attentions, after some time, she recovered some degree of tranquillity, and then returned again to gaze on the lifeless body of her lovely babe. Her Royal Highness was prevailed upon to return to bed about two o'clock, where her Royal Duke remained in unremitting attention to her till seven o'clock, when his Royal Highness re tired to rest; but he only remained about two hours: It was thought right to issue the following bulle tin of the mournful event, for the satisfaction of the Public : The King's Palace, St. James's, Sunday, March 4, Eleven o'Clock, A. 31. • The Princess Elizabeth was indisposed on Friday. Her loyal Highness became feverish yesterday, and about one iciock this morning was seized with a convulsion in which she upirtd. (Signed) " HENRY HA ',FORD. " WILLIAM KNIGIITON. " ANDREW HALLIDAY." In addition to the above, we learn that both the Duke and Duchess were as well, as, in the distressed state of their feelings, was to be expected. They re ceived affectionate visits of condolence from the Duke of YORK, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Prin cess SOPHIA. The two latter remained between two and three hours comforting and supporting the Duchess under her bereavement and affliction. The following were among the distinguished cha racters who called yesterday to inquire after the Duke and Duchess of C LA HENCE, and left their names of condolence on the death of tht infant Princess ELIZABETH : -------- - Evl Spencer, Viscount and Viscountess Dudley and Ward, the Countess of Harrington, Marchioness of Bath, the Ladies Thyme, Viscountess Sydney, Lady C. Ashuniham, Earl and Countess of Mayo, Lord and Lady Henley, Sir Robert and Lady Wigram, jun. Count and Countess Ludolf, the Bavarian Minister,.Sir Gilbert Blanc, Rev. Dr. Kuper, Sir Robert Gar diner, Lady G. Wellesley, Lord and Lady James Hay, Lord Grantley, Earl and Countess of Arran, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Colonel Higgins, Earl of Chichester, Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, Earl of Westmore land, Viscount and Viscountess Castlereagh, Mr. lluskisson, &c. An express was sent off at four o'clock yesterday morning to the KING, at Brighton, with a commu nication of the melancholy tidings. Sir ROBERT GARDINER, who was in Loudon, sent off an express to Prince LEOPOLD and the Duchess of RENT, at Claremont. Last night the body of the Princess was opened by PETER M'Gazoon, Esq. Serjeant-Surgeon to the Km:, when it was discovered that the cause of her Royal Highness's death was what is called an intro auception ; that is, one portion of the bowels had become entangled in another portion, a disease to which all young children and even adults are subject. Yesterday, Divine' Service was performed at the Kiwis Palace, in Pall-Mall, by the Reverend Dr. STANIFR CLARE& • The new statue of his MAJESTY, which is about to be erected on the Steyne at Brighton, is to be a pe destrian one. About £2,700 of the £3,000 requited to complete it, is now subscribed. The QUEEN has consented to receive the 00,000 a-year, voted for her maintenance and support by Parliament. It is to commence from the sth of Ja nuary, 1820. Her HAJESTY has paid £15,000 for Cambridge Home, by a draft on Messrs. COUTTS and Co. Tim PARK.—Notwithstanding the heavy rain in the early part of the day, not only the Drive, but even the Promenade, was crowded with good company for several hours yesterday afternoon.— About four o'clock her Milanese the Princess of CUMBERLAND (Mrs. SERRES), drove up Constitution Hill towards Hyde-Park in a very splendid landau let, with servants in the Royal livery, but the gate keeper at the top refused to let her pass. " Her High ness" was peremFtory, and the gate. keeper was con tumacious. Messages and replies passed to and fro for searly half an hour. The crowd increased every moment ; " her Highness" frequently addressed them from the window ; things were beginning to wear an awkward and rather uproarious appearance, when the gate-keeper relaxed something of his punctdiorrs wets; and the gates being thrown open, the affronted , Lady" passel i n to the D r ive of Hyd e -P ar k, fol lowed by the cheer ings of the crowd.

These heroes were next in the ring, and, from their well known qualities; were hailed with general applause. They both looked uncommonly well, but l'arish bore the palm in point of personal appearance. Indeed, such was the favourable impression which his tine condition bad upon the minds of the spectators, that the odds turned in his favour, and be was backed to win at five and six to four. Scroggy was, as usual, in perfect good hu. moor, and said, " Ile could do nothing else but win it." Parish WAS waited on by Spring and Harmer, and Scroggins by Randall and l'addington Jones. The fluctuations throughout this fight, which lasted till the sixty-sixth round, were of the most extrabr dinaty description. The odds were repeatedly changed from Parish to Scroggins, and again from Scroggins to Tar ish. Pa rish, by his superior science, defeated many of the well-known visitations of Scroggins's left hand; and excited, by the elegance of his stops, the admiration of the throng. His skill, however, was almost constantly overthrown towards the end of each round by the impetuosity of Scroggins, who bored in upon him with resistless fury, and in a close generally threw hint a heavy fall. Many of these struggles took place at the ropes, over which the men were occasionally suspended for several minutes: In some instances I'arish contrived to turn the tables in this way against his adversary; but he was dearly the weaker man of the two, and was dreadfully shook by the effect of his falls. Still he maintained the command of his science. At the commencement of every round he stopped the first ebullitions of Scroggins's im petuosity, and generally delivered in return the most tremendous facers. At the 42d round, Parish began to exhibit strong.symp toms of distress, and was thrown with violence : he had Just be fore been rather successful in his oppolition to the baring sys tem, and had restored the odds in his favour. was now again even betting—and Scroggins went to work with unabated confi dence. Parish, for the next six rounds, had a succession of heavy falls, although he did 'not fail to punish his man. Scroggins seemed to have been case-hardened, and although the symmetry of his features was utterly destroyed, still he repeated his et:tr ident* of success. Ito the 52d round, Parish rested his head on' Spring's shoulder, as if overcome, which. Randall took as an in-' dication of defeat, and threw up his hat to announce the victory. 1 Parish, however, was not yet done, and 4ey_tbe otermined mans Sir Gxoacet c ommas , i s reto s itu d t o t own f rom hi s tour o f i nor in which he came to the scre . lcd,,slretv.etibax there was still inspection of the Naval Hospital and other Government stations much for the determined bravetty_of Scroggins it; oVirrcinne.

HUDSOT AND SAMPSON, TON £5O SCROCCENS AND PARISH, FOR ; AND JOHNSON, THU NEW SLACK, AND SMITH, nos £lO A-SIDS, AND £lO FROM THE P. C. JOSH. HUDSON AND SAMPSON The torrents of rain on Saturday morning did not in the slightest degree deter the amateurs from leaving the Metropolis, to witness this grand day's play, and several *wells of the highest description were upon the ground. At one o'clock, the Bir mingham Youth, followed by Spring and Randall, threw up his hat in the ring; and in a few minutes after, Hudson, attended, by Oliver and Purcell, repeated the token of defiance. Spring and Oliver went up smiling together, and tied the colours of the 'combatants to the stakes.-5 to 4 on Hudson. ROUND 1. On stripping, Hudson looked extremely well, but rather too fat. Sampson was in excellent condition : both gay, confident, and eager for the attack. They had tasted most plen tifully of each other's quality in their former fight ; and much difference of opinion existed among the amateurs, who had really won it. A short pause occurred, when Hudson made an offer to hit, and Sampson drew back. Another pause. Sampson en deavoured to put in right and left, which proved short, in conse quence of Josh. getting away. After looking at each other for about half a minute, Hudson went in; some sharp work then took place, and in the struggle, going down, Sampson was under most. Loud shouting, and " Josh. you have begun well !" 2. The nose of the Birniingham Youtk appeared red. Both now began to slash away, and the ix/per-ban was handed from one to the other, till Josh. tither went down from a hit, or slip ped on his knees. " Go along, Sampson !" 3. Hudson missed a tremendous hit, which he made at Samp son's head. The latter with much severity drew the claret from Josh.'s mg; but Josh. rushed in, and the men exchanged hits with the utmost severity ; yet to the advantage of Hudson, who sent his opponent down. The shouting was now like thunder— the Old Fanciers were almost dancing hornpipes—the East End Defiler all in spirits—and the Bermondsey Buys offering their blunt on their favourite, Iludson.-6 to 4. 4. The Birmingham Youth took great liberties with the upper works of his opponent ; and the round was terrific, till both went down, Sagmson undermost. 5. " It is a good light !" was the cry an round the ring.— Sampson was more than busy, and the face of Hudson was da rds-a all over ; the i t atter ' bull-dog like, did not care about re ceiving, so that he could go in and punish his opponent. lie did so most effectively in this round, and Sampson was hit down.-- . .- It is impossible to describe the shouting and joy expressed by Hudson's friends.-7 to 4. 7,8, 9. These were all busy rounds, and the partisans of both the combatants claimed the best of them on each side. 10. Sampson meant nothing but mischief, and at out-fighting he placed his hits, in most instances, with tremendous effect. In this round he went down from the force of his own blow. 11, 12. The Birmingham Youth was always good for punish ment in commencing the round; but Josh. finished them all to his advantage. 13. Sampson, in this round, was, from the heavy blows he received, almost at a stand-still, till b9th went down. 14. This was a terrible round on both sides. Hudson's snug was terrific—the men hit each other away, staggering, several times, then returned to the charge as game as pebbles, till Samp son was so exhausted, that he scarcely knew bow he went down. " Go along my Joshy—it's safe as the Bank, that you must win!" 15. Sampson was floored from a tremendous wisty-castor, un der the listen/. The Hudsonites were uproarious, and offering any odds. 16. Sampson came up like a true Briton; and after several severe exchanges, he was again sent down. 17. Hudson either could not, or did not attempt to protect his head, and Sampson bit him down.—" Bravo, Sampson! do so again, and you can't lose it," from his friends. " You behave like a g ood one." 18. If Josh. had not been an out-and-out bottom man, from the repeated tremendous facets he received he must have been beaten before this period. But the more he received, the more courage he appeared to have, and after another desperate round, Sampson was sent down. 19. It was Pepper-alley on both sides, and neither of the com batants appeared anxious to make any steps. Josh. as usual, nap: it in the first part of the round, but finished it in prime style, and bit the Birmingham Youth down. Here some hissing occurred, as it was said by a few persons that Hudson touched the head of his opponent improperly as he laid on the ground ; but it was evident, that Hudson was moving out of the way to avoid going down. " He's too high couraged to behave unhand somely to a brave opponent," was the general expression. 20. Sampson, after a few exchanges, was again hit down.— Two to one. 21. It was evident Sampson was getting weak, and his knees began to tremble, but his courage and anxiety to win were fine. He strained every nerve to turn the fight in his favour and al though he did not succeed in this respect, he was stil l a most dangerous customer to Hudson. All fighting till Sampson was down. Three to one, and the Hudsonites quite up in the stirrups. 22. Sampson took the lead ; the face of Hudson was pinked all over, and his head went back twice. Sampson's mug was also painted: the latter could not keep Hudson out. He would always be with Sampson till he bad the best of him.—Sampson down.—Any odds on Hudson : the-Placa diamond to a ',Mame. 23, 24, 25. . 1 .11 ; in the last round poor Sampson was quite exhausted, and dropped down, nearly dead beat. 26. Sampson came up again, quite distressed, and was knocked down, without ceremony. 27. It was now piteous to see a brave man an=ions to contend every inch of ground, and yet no chance to win. Sampson cams up tottering to the scratch, but it was only to be sent'down.— Cries from the Amateurs," Take him away—take him away !" 28. Sampson, it is true, reached the scratch, and although Hudson was in a bad state from the tremendous nab punishment lie had undergone, yet be still remained fresh enough to finish the already exhausted Sampson, who now went down without knowing where be was. The shouts of victory gave Hudson new life, he jumped up, put on his clothes, was immediately taken to a carriage, but soon after became much e x hausted. Osseavartorts.—The question is now at rest between these boxers—and Hudson may be fairly said to have got the best of it. Sampson was led out of the ring in a very distressed state. SCROGGINS AND PARISH. tlaronshout, and at the 6M round it was dear that Parish hat no chance; he became exceedingly weak, and only stood ep to be knlcked down. While there was a chance left, however, he would not say" enough ;" and, in despite of his'second's advice, stood up for three more rounds, it: each of which he was grassed. He to s flirting another vain effort to rise from Spring's knee, at the 67dt taunt., but his head fell back, and nature forsook him. Scro;gins was immediately hailed as victor, amidst loud shouts. It was very observable throlighout this contest, that Parish, who is a man of rather superior manners and address, and is therefore nicknamed " The Dancing Master," was re garded by many of the fighting men with strong prejudice ' and every effort was made, on their part, by offering long odds against him, and using abusive epithets towards him, to break down Ws spirit. In defiance of these illiberal attempts, how ' ever, he fought with determined coolness to the last—never wait thrown off his guard by passion—never lost sight of the science in which he excels, nor in a single instance evinced a disposition, by unfair subterfuge, to escape the vigour of his antagonist. RICHMOND'S BLACK AND SMITH. General me:Pa:Novas now beepoke for the set-to between the new Rack and Smith. the waterriran. No sooner had. 'Mackey s.ripped than his app:.areace excited general astonish ment. His fram,., was of th:: most gigantic structure, his acme were of prodigious length and size, and what added to the sin gularity of their appearance was, that they were tattooed, front the shoulder to the wrist, in the most superlative style of Afri can workmanship. Srai,b, who was also a big man, formed a striking contrast to his antagorist, from the extreme whiteness /of his skin; and it was pretty etitlent, from the manner in which he conducted himself, that he hail no desire that that colour sl o .ld he changed. in the third and last round he either actually received, or pretended to have received, such a blow • from one of Blackcy's mallets, that he was rendered apparently insensible. The thing was pretty etident, and Mr. Smith was hailed with general groans and hissess--:With this display the amusements of the day were brought to a conclusion, and the well-drenched spectators returned to tonne BOXING IN THE NORTH. Saturday se'nuight kbattle was fought between RalAinson, the Black, and a boxer of some note, nicknamed " the Chicken," in a park near Ravelrig toll-bar, eight miles on the Lanark-roads from Edinburgh. The match was for a purse of twenty guineas, and five guineas to the loser. Before the fight, betting was in favour of Robinson, but from its commencement in favour of * the Chicken. Joe Walker, an ostler in Thistle -street, was se cond to the Chicken, and Mr. Blyth, of the Pantheon, to Ro binson. The parties fought to half-minute time. The battle . lasted forty-four minutes, and consisted_of about thirty rounds, when, Robinson not being able to come to the scratch in times victory was declared in favour of the Chicken. Little science was displayed on either side ; but many heavy blows were given and received, and both parties were severely punished. There were above 3,000 spectators on the ground. HUNTING. at Pots The Earl of Dintar's Stag-hounds meet ter's-lane, and on Friday at Chelsham. H. JOLLIER, Esq.'s Fox-hounds meet on Wednesday at Wath ton Heath, and on Saturday at Chaldon. The Surrey Fox-hounds nttet on Thursday at Limpsfield, and on Saturday at Hantsey-green. The II .criers meet daily. The Hambledon Hounds will meet on Friday at Steven's Castle Down, at ten. The Ilarnbledon Harriers will meet to morrow at Oliver's Battery, Wednesday at An&ld Common, at ten each day. Monday, a buck belonging to M. and J. Mimetic, F.sqrs. of Oxford, was turned out, before the harriers of those Gentlemen, in Headington Field. He started a quarter of an hour before the hounds were put on the scent. A lane of people was formed, in order to make him run towards Shotover Hill, but he leaped over some of their heads. upset a chfinney.sweeper, and took art opposite direction. Upwards of 2,000 sportsmen, of all descrip tions, some mounted and others on foot, were in the field. The buck proceeded towards Beckley, thence to the right by Stove Wood, where the hounds weremt fault for some time, owing to the number of hares which got up during the chace. Here were to be seen many horses gallopping in all directions without their riders. The hounds at length got scent, and followed the deer to Bletchington, where, for the first time since starting, he be. tame visible to the sportsmen. Ile was taken alive at the above place at half-past five, after having afforded an amusement sel dom or never before witnessedin this place. Several carriages, mostly filled with Ladies, were at the throwing off. This throw. Ilse afforded the principal sport of the day, as it may be more ptoperly called the tumbling f of the horsemen, which was constantly oceurring r and was every time followed by the huzzas and laughter of the pedestrians and the more skilful jockeys.— .Every hack in Oxford, that had three or four legs to stand on, was put in requisition upon this occasion, and appeared in the field (sometimes by the bye, in a ditch), on this eventful sport ing day. Their good scent of their stables prevented many of them being lost, as they easily found their Way home without the guidance of their dismounted riders. The same buck is to be hunted again en Easter Monday. Saturday se'nnight the Gentlemen sportsmen of Chester.and the neighbourhood, had a grand field-day. neynard was set at liberty on Boughton-heath, about half-past eleven o'clock. About eight minutes "law" was given. The fox made off at score in the direction of Saighton, then turning to the right hand between Huntington and"Cheveley, ran down to the meadows,, and a field or two south of Iron-bridge, the dogs being within five or six roods of the brush, he took the river Dee, andtrwam ascending the hilly fields on the Claverton side,,and front thence went across the Wrexham-road to the Laclaa Eyes. At this time there was not above five hounds in pursuit, and not a single horseman. Front the Lache Eyes, the poor animal, sadly dis tressed, turned mwards the Navigation Cop, and followed it upwards of two miles, when he again took to the Dee, ciossing over to the Wirral side, and it is supposed made good his retreat into some of the neighbouring covers, as no tidings have been heard of hint! STICKPIN Citacra—The match for 100 guineas between Capt: WILLOUGHBY and Mr. MONTGOMERY took place on Wednesday morning, amidst a numerous field of sportsmen. The ground was from within a mile of Ripley, Surrey, on the Walton road, to Mr. hlotirnoiteftv's house, Chatsworth Villa, near Farnham, a distance of twenty-two miles, half of which was an open country, and the other through close enclosures.
