BOXING AT dIOULSEY BURST.

A full day's play, anticipated by the lovers io frolic, was
yesterday realized, with plenty of by. play. The attraction
was between Sampan, the Birmingham youth, and Abbot,
who so lately beat Oliver, when some hidden qualities were
displayed to the satisfaction of some of the most learned of
the cognoscenti. Both men had given proofs of goodness in
former walls. The pecozids were, Kaudall and Turn Jones,
for Sampson; and Spring and Slieltuu, fur Abbot; and bet.
flog was five to (our on Sampson.
In the first round Sampson made the play, bat he failed
its placing his straight hits. In ■ rally both were down.
2. A very gallant fighting routed to the advantage of
Abbot, who stood like an oak tree, and received all the pu-
nishmeut his ad y could give him like a game one.
lie had the best of it by throwing his ad y its a trial of
strength.—Even on Abbot.
3. Sampson west in as game ■s ever the dog Trusty
fought his battles, but he met with a Chalk Farm bred one,
who would not be denied. It was a roomd where mercy had
no balance; it was " You give, and I'll take," and Abbot
had the best of a very manly rally: Sampson received a
heavy bit upon the eye in going down.
4. Abbot began to get sweeter upon himself, finding he
could stop his ad y's flush hitting, and a very gay
ruuod was fought, and much earnestness was 'hewn. Samp-
son bad rather the beet of the bitting and got the throw.

5. Sampson made play, and floored his adversary.
6. There was uo claret visible in the meu, but blue ruin
and Sam's grape was its ►equisition among the partisan*.
Abbot had none the wolat of the round, although out-fought
at fa fighting, and he was thrown.
7. Abbot bad the best of as gallant a fighting round as
ever wan seen. Sampson made the play wills line hittint,
bust Abbot was the stern English oak tree, and hall the best
of it, although thrown.—Four to 1 on Abbot, sod Randall,
in full confidence, look the said odds.
ft. Sampson in going in received a severe hit on the left
eye, which cganceried his tipper works. It was on the brow,
and the claret that oozed from it was a dead bilk spoil
the surgeon, who had nu occasion fur operating. Our in-
formant thinks the fight was won in this tumid. It was evi-
dent that Sampsou's fast lighting was put aside, from Abbot
being the best sitter and at negultre taker.
9. A confirmation of the opinion of the best judges was
that in this round Sampson was hit off his legs by a Ire.
tnendous right-handed blow.—The poundage on Abbot.
The fight was protracted to the 3•ld round, and the game-
ness of Sampson often gave it a temporary turn, and he haul
nearly closed one of hot adversary's beads; but there aas any
thing but No about hum, sad Abbot was declared the victor by
a flooring lilt iu a fight of 47 minutes, when each head
came in contact with a fall from a close, and left Sthipsuu
dear to the call •• Time."

The only remark we have to make is, that it was an oh.
ativately contested bailie, and strength wow
A tremeadous hail slum cleared the ring, sod umbrellas
and dummies flew it. all duecilons.
