The long expected match between these first-rate heroes
of light weigh!. end which will excite moi e hairiest than has
been known for many yritrs, was made ut Mr. Franklin's, on
Tuesday night; and as thou,mals are pending already upon
the match, we furnish our readers with the at tides, subject
to some tt is ial alterations.

Randall put his own money down, and Bastin', Turner's
uncle, coveted for him.
A second match, for 100 guineas, play or pay, but two
only deposited, was made for Rindall to tight Scroggins.
within three months after his CJ/1171.11 with Tamer. Phis
match was made in consequence of the Lackt:r of Randall
betting iU gnut:as that Randall won truth ti4ltta.
The battle between Marlin, the baker, and Cyrus Davis is

Hall met at Oliver's, Peter street, Westminster, to make good
the whole of the stakes for the combat between these 'whin::
heroes on Tuesday, the 29th instant, in a te:mity four lee
ring, for HA guineas. The money was tran-(erred to the
handsof those who were to deposit it on each side, and coo
seqiiently would certainly be made. Like the match between
Randall and Turner, this will be a great sporting one. hales
is decidedly the hest aparrer of the day with weight some_
thing under eleven stone, but Scrogeius beat hint by ruhliau
lug away his ►cieuce, and substituting nits fur parries. Hall
tether the best of weight, and possesses hist late sviesici
also. He was beat lay the Irish champion, Donnelly, di-
thiutigh the fight was brought to a wrangle. Betting five to
four on Hall. Ott the other tight, five to four on Randall,
although Turner has his strong laticiers.

NPARRING,
AT HEAD'S BOOM, NEAR TIIE NEW CUSTOM. UMW.

Joe Parish (one of the brave competitors of Randal,) under the
patronage of the Swells of the East end of the Metrekolis. rai o (in
imitation of the Corinthians of the West) gave h tigers of the
Oar" a good turn, on Thurset y light at the above place. Thtabhost part
of thetown produced an overflowing kSSCRI blage of amateurs ot the mat
respectable description—many of whom. %Inn their /4rigei6 were
closetl. and the sift barely Jere ad. brushed off with quick steps n
or ler to promote the vieNce of self defence—also as a means to pri .
vent our natural character from being floor rd by the growing intro.
Li. action of etfetnirwey and Dandyisns--a.itl. lastly, to pertiquate that
sort of "true courage" which is b 0 itiitly reconled in the eyes of
Europe, respecting the natives of Old England—

The battle once over, the heart of a lamb !
so highly extolled by a Wyndham, encouraged by a Wellington, a. d
the theme of those renowned warriors Blucher and halal'.
sports catered by the Water man were, in their exhibition, equai, if
not superior to many similar displays at the fauted " Fives Court."
—Shelton and Spring commenced the petliminthee with much ap-
plause; but the latter boxer is visibly "gone of" from the effects
of Nueva, arid his once athletic frame now bespeaks none of that posi-
dve determination of manner which so (humanised his efforts in
the ring with Harmer. Spring, of course, had the best cifit.—Hut
the principal feature of the evening was the. bout between Martin.
the baker. and treroggins, and winch was pronounced highly hopor-
tam and ink:wain( to the supporters of the Prize Ring, respecting
the capabilities of the Crusty Hero, and towards regulating the
betting at any future period, whenever he is opposed to a good one.
The length and height of the Master of the Rolls over his opponent.
was evident to all the Amateurs. Scroggins in this combat proved
!Muse f a tragi-comic performer of talent; and under the mask of
fun, he nut only produced roars of laughter—made his audience fre-
quently look serious—and worked upon his adversary's feelings—but
concluded by exciting their utmost astonishment! In short, if the
conqueror ot Johnson did not gammon it (and yet too much nature
secured to prevail in the set-to to give it such a character, as well as
too much anxiety and love of fame displayed to make it a mere trick
to deceive the unwary), it was a real thing ; the fact is then, that
neither the kngth nor the science of the Baker could prevent the
boring qualities of Scroggins from doing heavy execution (so well
known and felt by all his opponents, except Turtier,) and ultimately
sending Martin down. Upor. Scroggins quitting the room, and con-
sidered to have the best of the bout, " another round" was loudly call-
ed for by the partizans of the Baker. Scroggins immediately return-
ed, and every eye was on the stretch to view the termination. Scroggy
wt in to work again without any delay, and like the gland climax to
a liar piece of oratory, he hit Martin down with the celerity of a shot
—then turning round smiling, said with much naviete, " Gentlemen.
are you now satisfied ?"-" Quite, quite," were the replies, when he
left the room overwhelmed with peals of applause. The windup of
the sports of the evening was also excellent in witrim.ing the set-to
between Belcher and Parish. The fine science of the former is too
well known to need any repetition ; but it is due to the Waterman
to observe, that he exhibited great improvement—made some good
hits, and raised himself in the opinion of his friends. Oliver arid
Purcell were present, but did not spar. The audience departed more
than ordinarily pleased with the amusement afforded them; and the
highest amateur in the Fancy from the West end of the town volun-
tardy offered to patronize a benefit fur Scroggings in the city.

An inquisition was taken on 'Thursday befoo e Thomas Shel-
