SPARRING.

Hands Week at the Fives` Court, yesterday, was very
well attended, and the sparring was excellent. Amongst the
matches which attracted moat attention were the following:
Cribb and Spring—This was • neat exhibition of science.
The sturdy Champien retains all his strength and vigour,
sod Spring had quite entrees to do to keep pace with him.
There was more of parrying than of bitting, and the tactics
displayed afforded notch diversion.
Shelton and Hickman afforded mach amusement in judg-
ment and strength of hitting, and, if any thing, Shelton bad
rather the best of it, by parrying most of the right-handed
lunging bits of gas, and at o her times countering the same
blows. Gas, however, would be at work, and he doubled
himself up and ruffiaucil in sometimes, and gave his adver-
sely some teasers.
Randailknd &ilea pourtrayed more science than any of
the rest. 114,blows were delivered like lightning, and par-
ried with Writs( d. xterity, In that eel y few were placed.
The last was rattling round, and some genii kits were ex-
changed.
Oliver and Harry Marmires was also a good set-to, with
equal advantages, and gained applause.
Johnson (Richmond's Black) and • six-foot countryman.,
produced excellent sport in the true rearming style, and
drew forth peals of uproarious approval. The Black's left
hand was constantly in his adversary • face, which wes deluged
in claret, but the countryman flinched none, and drew
Mama's cork in return. It was real fighting until bulb hail
enough. Davis and Spcncur, two resolute young oars, closed
the sports.

A melancholy circumstance took place at the
regimental gua►d.house in Enniskillen yesterday
be' •ght. A soldier of the 9lst regiment, who had
beet' confined in the black-hole for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, seized • musket that had
been inadvertently left there, which he loaded with
a hall cartridge lie had concealed, fired it off
through the door into the guard-room, by which lie
*omitted a fellow prisoner so severely that his re-
covery is very piecarions.
