SPARKING.

The veteran Caleb Baldwin, whose gallantry in the prime•
ring before worn up in service is well•known, had a benefit
at the Minor Theatre, in Catherine-street, ye►terday, and,
although tolerably well attended, vet more al Id have
been done for the man who stands in need of aid.
Caleb set-to with Randall, RII.I made one very good round
with him, but the champion of the light weights acted merci-
fully in the other rounds to the man who was one day capa-
ble of opposing him in combat.
Jemmy Lennox and loom; Brown made POMO good settings
to, lint that which excited moat fns was between George,

hated him, and Toni Jones's Paddington Black. These
mei, turned to at each other as if mischief was meant, and in
their evolutions they clears(' away the spectators who were
on the stage, and frequently bit each other over the meat..
They hit each other alma manfully, and the amateurs ex-
pressed themselves satisfied by the recumpense the men gut
in browns thrown on the stage.
Caleb, in an epargelic speech, said, " Gentlemen, I'm all

been the result. Spring having defeated Carter, ranks as a
pugilist the second man ou the list ; and Neste, iu conquer-
ing rained himself from obsaurity. Twu Suer ath-
letic young mew sunlit to be met with in a day's walk ; but
from the 'weak, and experience of Spring, the London
