He being a fresh young novice, . the general opinion of him may the ring, Stol on the Black At the ring, with his seconcls Jones brown in his hat as 4 token of was roped, was 25 feet dia• formed, with vehicles about 8 Molineux appeared soon after his ids, Richman and *Gibbons, and . • after some difficulty in beating out the ring, they set to. THE I3ATI'LE. 1. After about two minutes sparring, Rimmer hit short left and right, neither of which told, and he got away, and sparring was renewed. At setting to again, the Black put in a left-handed plow on hie adversary's neck with so • e force. and Knurlier re turned it very slightly, and fell upon his blow.-4 to lon the Rimmer showed first blood. 4. Rimier again made play by making another effort to hit right and left, but he again ill-judged his distance, and again got away. The Black patiently waited on him again, until .4 smart tally took place, in which the Black made some good stops, and the combatants again' disengaged. Another rally took place, in Which the terrific blows of the Black made considerable impres ition; and` he knocked dcivrn his man by hits right and left with equal quickness and force..-•-13 to lon the Black. S. MOilheUX elated by success in the last round, viewed his adversary with a significant smile, and sparred low, in a Manner to show his adversary he disregarded any effort he might make. The Black waited as he had done in former rounds, until Rim- After made play, and he then hit him, followed and rept ated Ibis hits, until Rimmer Went down apparently without cause, but ;hat of avoiding a repetition of blows already received. Runnier present. d himself with a head covered with blood, behaving in the last round received a blow on the temple, which, - dOubtless, reduced hint to a state of temporary stupidity. Moli ittettx again hit him over his guard on the head and neck, right Ind left, in a manner which excited the sympathy of the ring, and he fell as from a pistol ball.-6 to lon the Black, and tw takers of odds. 5. Rimmer, in great distress, made a wild long hit at double distance, and tell on his blow. 6. Rimmer again hit short, and fell from weakness. 7. In this round Rimmer for the first time had the best of fighting; he hit Molineux with his left hand, and a courageous tally followed ; after several blows had been exchanged, Rim- Mil. fell Over the Black's legs. • 8. Both hit over, and Rimmer fell. 9. In this round Rimmer again summoned every effort to change the battle. He bit his adversary away in a rally, and also threw him in a close. 10. Molineux went in with ferocious courage to repay his adversary for a few favours in the last round, and for the first time, he was so intemperate as to make play ; he followed Rimmer, and milled hint to every part of the ring, and at length floored him. 11. A rally commenced by Rimmer at least showed him a game marl. Several blows we're put in by both, but Rimmer hit widely without judging distance, and gave his head doubled in his chest, which stopped several blows, and he at length MI. Rimmer, after placing an ineffectual hit on the Black's body, Lancashired him, by running in, in a state of phrenzy, Miffing Moiineux off his lea by the thighs, and throwing him. —Loud bawling of Foul, fair! &c. 13. Rimmer planted a bit on the Black's mouth slightly, and Mblineux went in and threw him. 14. Rimmer, in rallying, closed; a trial of strength took place, and both were thrown. by Lancashirean ingenuity in Rimmer. 15. Rirnmer retreated to every part of the ring with Moli neaux close, at nearly length, and the latter at length got a stomacher at him and floored him. Rl:miler :ay GU the ground prostrate, when an,Aher scene commenced, which, however, rarely happens. The antipathy against a man of colour being considerd a pugilist of first-rate has caused a good many un charitable declamations, and the ardour of these people so illi berally disposed, aided by the assistance of thos , _, who had taken the odds, brc,ke the ring tn.: moment, and surrounded the men in action. Rimmer at this rime was, technically speaking, dead beat, and in a state of childhood. The scene which here pre sented itself would tuff: the skill of the :irst artists. Lords and Nobles bustled in with sweeps a:id ploughmen, lighting men and autstints, who received, indi4.;riininately, horse -whikping.

In lasted twenty minutes, those disposed to make their exist were unable ; and at lengili 'rib put him - self in a bus tle', and by assistants, succtieded in again beating out the ring. —lt is an etiquette in fighting, that if either of the men in corn. bat leave the ring in such acase, he loses the battle, and con. sequently both men again w're set-to. great pains having been taken during this hustle to get Riinmer to stand on his le? ) . again. The con,batants fought six feller rounds, to the dis comfiture of Rimmer, who received about ten other blows, and he at length resigned the combat, when unable to stand. OBSERVATIO Ns.—There need but few remarks on the C 0111,.. hat ; it was impolitic to match a young novice against a prriessor of terror like the Black. The blow in the third round, followed up by the two others in the subsequent round, doubtless reduced Rimmer to a state of insensibility, and he had no chance after Of displaying any one requisite to cope with the sturdy Black. He has courage, but he has a losing lack of giving his head when hits; and, above all, he had a timidity in going too near his ad. versary, and he cot sevently ho half a length short. It is only necessary to state of Molineux, that he is a very ugly customer. He has gained by practice a quichmsi of hitting, which if not so pleasing to the eye as that of a Gulley, a Belcher, or a Crib, it is at least as mortifying to the feelings; and, as has been before observed, it will be a matter of troublesome speculation again to find his conqueror. He won the battle with all imaginary ease, with only a cut lip, and two or three other slight hits. It is no exaggeration to state, that 15,000 pet sons were pre. sent, and the oldest amateur does not remember more at anf similar exhibition. Another battle took place after that between Molineaux and Rimmer. The combatants were a promising young Jew, and a Gentile of Caleb's school. It was a brisk fight, in which considerable science was displayed, but the sew was beaten by zn unexpected blow. Dutch Sam and Caleb Baldwin seconded their favourites. Rimier had not arrived in London at noon yesterday, and we understand he was put to bed from the ring in a very bad state, froin the beating he received on the head. It appears that Rimmer was beat in the first round by the hit in the neck, and the repeti tion of blows in the second pint third rounds reduced him to a state of insensibility, from which he never recovered. It also appears that Rimmer received a hurt in his hand in sparring at Powers's benefit last week. which gave him a disadvantage, but he was altaigether unequal to the. Black. A third battle was fought between two men, near Wan4s. worth, on return from the fight. and one of them was so dread fully beaten as not to be expected to recover. LAW REPORTS.
