The match fur 100 guineas a side, between Randal, the
phottomenun of the premed day, and Parish, the watt rman,
who had !ought himself high on the' milling list, took place
on TIlUi ,11A, nu 1141.11Ciiminuti, in Kent. Wallingliam Coin
mons how slot miles ma the other aide of Croydon, was the
place where the boxers tirsi assembled—but a Magi.: cafe
appeared and compelled them to retire thence into
another county, to which hi' ainhority did not extend.
Round I. After much sparring and measurement. Randal planted
a strait hit upon his adversary's chest and broke away. He repeated
the blow, and Parish returned upon him, but out of distance, and
cansemwntly very slight. Randal placed a revere right handed hit
won the cheek bone, which tapped the claret, and again broke
ground to off fighting. Parish's blows were parried. and the round
closed with Randal hitting him again in the body with the left hand.
followed quickly with the right in front of the head, which floored
him upon his face as if shot. The first blood and first knock down
were decided.—s to lon Randal.
2. Parish bled copiously from the head, but he was not intimida-
ted. Ile made play with both hands, but the hits fell short. from
Randalhaving a knack of throwing his body back, and 14,2 was re-
turned on Parish's body. Randal manoeuvred with a sort at' minuet
step. and after parrying his adversary, he gave him another dash
right handed facer, and in a close he served Parish as he had before
done Nest Country Dick; he got his head under his arm, and held
ban up until he properly exchequered his nob by fibbing, and when
lie hail done exercising his punishing abilities, both went down.
3. It was Ilse minutes before a blow was struck, and a voice called
our, •• Why don't you fight ? you'll have the Beak here again pre-
sently,besides it will be dark, and it will be a drawing concern "
Randal at length let fly his right hand and caught his adversary in
the throat through his guard. Perish returned short, and Randal
again made a terrible right handed hit which grazed the head only.
Parish, with much quickness, delivered a blow upon his adversary's
eve, which set it twinkling. but lie was complimented with a flooring
hit upon the nose.
4. Parish made play, but he could not place his blows, and he re-
ceived a heavy hit on the cuntunal nose. A &>•e followed, in which
Randd shewed the master piece of in-fighting as well as superior
strength. He dealt with Parish against the ropes unmercifully, and
when tired of giving, he threw him.-100 to 5 was offered, but no
takers.
5. Randal made a severe left-hand blow against his adversary's teeth,
which cut his fingers to the bone, and it bled in torrents throughout
the battle. In a close Parish was thrown. Randal had completely
seduced winning to a certainty, and the head of Parish was a confused
mass, and every feature was distorted ; be had received enough for
any ordinary glutton.
I;. l'arish missed his hits and closed, when he received the same pu-
nishment as in the former rounds, and he was thrown. The poundage
was refused.
7. Randal put in a terrible hit on the throat, and closed upon
his adversary again upon the ropes, and did more execution than in
any former round, from the weak state of Parish.
R. Three distinct hard blows were received try Parish, and lie re-
turned the last by a smart blow on Randal's mouth, which drew
blood; but he was thrown.
Parish ran in. and aftet having been served again at the ropes,
he was knocked down.
to. Parish aimed every effort to make a turn in the battle in vain.
Ili* hits were parried. and lie was constantly receiving. He at length
fought wild, and Randal threw him with that aorta force that On !
was heard throughout the ring.
I tilt last round. Randal made shifts and broke away, and when
tired of this, he mauled his adversary again at the ropes, and gave
hint a heavy tall. Parish could not stand asp again, and he hurt his
right arm in the fall. The fight lasted fifty minutes.
Randal its l'r.lll/r4l all the expectatioiia which his patron,
Colonel Barton had formed of him in his first combat. He,
like the celebrated Jim Belcher is a fighting mini lay mature,
and no professor was even considered a greater adept in the
'Metier. —Both his hands are alike : errifie ; he measures his
distance with incomparable nicety, and never hits out till his
object is complete. He never appears distressed for wind,
and his legs are as uimble as his fists.—Parish, who has al-
ways beat his mat. handsomely, had no chance. —He was
kept in a state of stupor from the first round, without an op-
portunity of recovering.

MURDERS AT GODALMiNU.-0A Saturday se'nnight G.

housekeeper, ou the night of the 19th Nov. inst. A great deal

whose exertions have been indefatigable. Several fresh
witnesses were examined ; and such was their testimony, that
very little doubt remained out the subject as to the guilt of
both prisoners. Such stroog corroborating facts were brought
forward, that the suspicion which was entertained of others
being concerned in this shocking murder was quite removed.
The evidence we cannot at present give, as the Magistrate
particularly requested that tho new evidence might not he
'made public until the final examination took place, as other
witnesses are yet to he ex, 111 l ined on a future day. The Ma-
gistrate at the close of his examination called at the prison at
Godaluting, and informed the prisoners that they must pre•
pare themselves to be removed to the county town prepara-
tory to their trials, for he should fully commit them ou the
next examination, and hoped thel would make the best use
of their time prior to their trial. 'I lie prisoners are both young

amination, their conduct has chatiged to great seriousness ;
altliongli they still persist in their innocence, their minds are
