Mobday last. the 27th inst. a pitched battle
for 201. a-side, half-minute time, twos fought at
Heroes-gate, near Brentwood. between J. A Ihra. of
this town, bookbinder, and D. Beckwith, a nosier
of she rolls, living at Little Beddow. both novices
in the boxing list. but each possessing sonic little
wiener. At one o'clock. Albra, attended by Joshua
Hudson, who officiated as his second, twirled hi.
shallow into the ring in doe form; and was smote-
diately followed by Beckwith. At setting-to, both
men appeared equally confideot. and encl. dis-
played great caution end coolness. To follow
them through the several rounds would occupy
too much apace : indeed, we should stop litre.
were it not. from the impression. that it is our
duty to please. in their torn, every doss of out
readers. Albra first tapped the claret. which
he drew from his adversary's mouth in the tiih
round. After the most determined fighting fur
about an hour, even then the issue was very
doubtful. Albra bled profusely at the emu.. mod
Beckwith's siroffis will was rather rafted AlAutat
the 70th round the hate sheered symptoms or
weakness. while his opponent was ga K second
wind ; and, in the 81st round, odds were offered
10 to 1 in favour of Albre, but uo takers. t'uoi-
ivory to the advice of his friend., Beckwith stood
up 10 more SWUM'S. but without the shadow of
success; and. from the effects of • trrniendoos
blow. in the 91st round, he was unable to come to
time. Albra was, therefore, declared the conqueror.
Both men left the ground most severely piesnalied.
The fight lasted one boor and filly essimitrs. It is
computed that ',posits of 1400 people were
present.
