SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.

Philip Sampson, whois in t;aincrii forthe fight with Nel
O'Neal, took his b:netit on Tuesday ; but owing to the unfavourable
state of the weather, and the absence of the Corinthian patrons of
thefirney from town. he had not to boast of a bumper. The ai
l tendance, however, was respectable, and the display of sparring
interesting.
Lennox and Clarke delivered the prolegae in very common plain
style, and were succeeded by—
JONES (the Sailor Boy) AND NED STOCKMAN.—These kid/
seemed to have an account to settle, and paid away right and left in
the most stran.;htforward style. The receipts were mutually berry,
and if neither could write, they ?roved that upon • pinch they
could at least male their mark. Two heavy falls were given OA
both sides, and, on winding up, their claims to pre-eminence me;
brought to a satisfactory balance, for neither would confess thi:
th?re was any owing.
YOUNO DUTCH SAM AND NED SAVAGE.—This wait youth
and science against age and length, and the former had a decided
lead. Nid did his best, but he would have been more at home in
his cab. Sam got the whip hand of him, and floored all his preten-
sions to fistic dignity.
JEST STOCKMAN, AND PICK, THE BaISTOL YOUTH.—A apt-
rited and fiery set-to, in which the giving and taking were severe.
The corks of both were drawn, and in leaving off Pick bad rather
the advantage, from his superior weight.
WALLACE AND BANBURY.—AII in favour of Wallace, whose
fine stand-up style of milling gave him a decided superiority over
his antagonist, and er&;led him to drop him some half-duaen times.
Banbury was a mere cake in his hands, and was demolished in a
very short time.

OLIVE!' AND WHITE-HEADED BOIL—Bob took the gl,ves out
of compliment to Sampson ; but, from his late severe tit of illness,
he wu extremely weak. It was light, pretty play, but neither widt
`• pet' his hardest."

SA mrso N and J.Em BURN performed the epilogue, which was
a complete contrast to the prologue, and drew down the warm ap-
plause of the critics. Jem had the lead in the first three rouat:s.
and astonished his friends, while a slight tinge of blue marked the
mugs of Sampson's backers. In the fourth round, however, Samp-
son dropped the " gammon," and went to work with such deter-
mined vigour that he hammered poor .1‘ m to a sand-still, and lea
off amidst loud acclamations. Perhaps the presence of Ned O'Neal
might have influenced him in his first (dims. On that account ha
might have had no inclination to show off. to the beat advantage,
but his heart would not permit him to let Jem have it all h:s own
way, and therefore led him to show a little of what he could do.
In conclusion, he expressed his grateful sense of the patronage he
had received.

YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND DAN 31.KEN7IE•—These men are
its be matched to light within • month or six weeks, and their
fiiends were to meet last night in the Borough, to settle prelimi-
naries and make the match.
Ycitixt: Gxs AND Itontxsow.—Robinson's friends were in-
vite(' to meet the patrons of Young Gas, at Toni Belcher's, the
Castle Tavern, on Monday evening, to renew the match between
those two men for 501. a side, and a hundred pounds bet ; but Ro-
binson's friends were not at the seraich, and nothing was done.
DILL CURTIS AND BARNEY AARON.—Dick WIGS to ti ii.k
that the Sheenies have at length screwed up their courage to Dui:
their champion against him, and expects every day to receive rutty
of a meeting; but lie will, in all probability, have to exercise h:s
pstience a little longer before his wishes are fulfilled, for it's a sub.
ject which requires " deep ronshMerutiun."

HUNTING INTF.I.I.IGEXCE.—The Vale Hounds meet at Plum-
ley Wood on the 13:11 ins.. ; the Earl of Darlington's fox. hounds
meet at Totthill on the 13th limit. at ten o'clock ; the Northumber-
land fox-hounds meet at Light Water Mass on the 13th inst. at
ten o'clock.

ANGTIten RUNNING MATCH.—Wantling, who is considered
one of our quickest runners at a short distance, was en 3Junday
night matched against Metcalfe, equally celebrated at along dis-
tance, to run two hundred and fourteen yards a,;ainst
two hundred, for 200/. a side. The race to take place over Sun-
bury Common, to-morrow, between one and four o'clock, and
the ground to be roptd into two separate avenues. Ten pounds
a side w.a put down, and the whole of the stakes were to be corn-
pleted yesterday evening, at the Swan, on Snow-hill, or the mono
down to be forfeited.

The Sussex hounds, under the direction of Colonel Windham.
after some Food cub-hunting near their kennel :it Drove. have
