Tills' RING.

LANG•II.—The Dublin Journal says—" On the arrival of
Langan here, he was surrounded by crowds as he passed through
the streets, who cheered their hero. He was at length obliged w
use a carriage in order to escape the pressure of friendship. He i,
expected to hold his levee at the National Tavern, in Futrae,.,,,
street, the Erin, for the few nights that he remains in town. Hu
shortly proc.eds to his training exercise." On Thunichiy night lot
had a benefit at Fishanible.street Theatre. He says in his advertise-
ment, that " it must be gratifying to the Fancy to learn that ow
system of wrestling, so necessarily connected with pugilism, ell
also be exhibited by gentlemen of the first qualifications, who hats
volunteered to treat the Dublin amateurs on this oceastoo." In a
paragraph which runs through the Dublin papers of Thursday, it
is stated, that he came from England, in order to raise money to
enable him to make good the stake for the ensuing tight ',id'
Spring; it is not doubted, therefore, but his benefit will be well
attended by his countrymen.
Toni Cannon, the Windsor champion, was prevent at the fight
on Tuesday last. He is an uncommonly fine made athletic man,
of nearly 111 X feet in height, and perhaps thirteen atone Wright At
the conclusion of the brat fight, Josh Hudson, eager to be doing
bushes, went up to Cannon, and challenged kite pound,
wide were deposited immedi.stely,and a further sum is to be staked
at it'indeor to-morrow. The fight to take place within six seems
after the battle between Iludson and Sampson. A Ly•toultt rt.
marked, when the above was made, " the Windsor man is hilt
than you, Josh, you'll not be able to reach his tare." " All ti
better I" returned the dauntless tar," blows will tell upon his
body. It was a standing order on board our ship, to fire low, and
hull the unruly !" /Perk fy Dirpatelt.
The game Tom Shelton, who is described by the John Beg
fighter as the best two-handed hitter of the day, has announced
his intention of having another sky in the ring. " I've been shut
out by the beaks," said Tom, " but my time is now up, and I shall
not be over nice about my man ; I can get backed for a hundred,
and the mild one wo:t't ga away for a trifle."
" lt is rather too bad of my boy Josh," said Tom Shelton, " to
monopolize all the mailing this way. I had picked nut Tom Can-
non for myself." We understand a match was in agitation between
Shelton and Cannon, but the John Bull lighter's challenge has put
it out for the question foe the present.
Gipsy Cooper is by no meats satisfied with the result of his late
Watt at with Reid, and has announced publicly his determination ut
having another shy at the Chelsea artist

'ESTRECTIVE AND ALARAIING FlRE.—About four
o'clock yesterday morning, an alarming fire broke out in the pre-
mines of Mr. Smith, a bookbinder, in Albion-buildings, itareao-
lornew-close, and which, but for the promp.itude of the tire-engines.
must have been most destructive to the whole neighbourhood. Mr.
Smith carried on a large business as a bookbinder, and courequent-
ly his workshop and other ',remises were very extensive. The fire
broke out in the shop, and trout the combustible nature of the pro-
perty and buildings, communicated in a few minutes to the back
part of the valuable premises of Messrs. Merle and Co. (late Cox
and Merle), ;mid and silver refiners, in Cox-court, Little Britain,
as well as to the property of Mr. Petoe, the architect, immediately
adjoining, both of which have been severely damaged. Mr.
Smith's own house and premises are reduced tort heap of rents,
and the property, to a large amount, in books, completely de-
molished. The tire then communicated to the houses of Mr.
Shipton (an industrious ticket-porter), and Mr. Ward, in AlLion.
buildings, and in a short time they were wholly destroyed, without
the initiates bring enabled to save anything beyond their night-
clothes. Tire wife of Mr. Shipton was only put to bed other
eighth child on ()ax' Friday, and it was with eifficulty that she
and her young family escaped with their lives ; and so perilous
was the situation of Shiptou himself, in rescuing his family, that
our Reporter saw a great many drops of lead, which had melted ant
fallen on his head and shoulders while engaged in this parental
duty. This unfortunate family is now, front a state of comfort,
reduced to the greatest distress and poverty. It is but common
justice to add, that the firemen, as usual, exerted themselves to the
very utmost, and the supply of water on this occasion was most
abundant.
