BOXING.
One of the fights which was made to take place
in the ring after Joshua Hudson and Shelton, took
place on Thursday last. and it was a real merry
one. All the talent St. Giles's, St. James's, or
even Bermondsey could produce, was there. The
fa, lanes dared not chew in the ad libawm field, and
the Beaks were upon the dome. The combatants
were-Neale, the Streatham Youth,abefore tried and
approved of in the prize ring, and Hall, the Bir-
mingham man, who had made a good meal of Sump-
san, his countryman, and some other talked-of War-
wickshire lads. Hurry Holt and Tom .!ones se-
conded Neale, and Josh. Hudson and Carter picked
up Hall. Betting 6t04 on Brunmaigaa,
THE BATTLE.
Round I. After the men shook hands from the scratch, it
wa clear enough that nothing but fighting will. meant ; but an
unlucky omen occurred to Hall, as the ladies would term it—
when he dolled bis castor into the ring, the wind blew it out
agate; and its seesond effort was scareely enough. At the set-
to Hail, siliaistrippost. a very fine young man, about twelve
stone, made
ness, bat' a ;iffy • followed, and Hall placed • half armed blow
os nri adversi•Fiseye ; some smart bitting followed at all
points, and nothiArg but good earnest was meant.—Beth went
down winted.
2. A very game round, and strong ezehangee of hits upon
equality. The rush of Hall a-la-Gas wu well meant, and it
told is this round upon the Pnose of Neale, which emitted the
claret in spoonfuls. It wan trick and tie, u both were chested
in primish order.
S. Hall bad the best' of this round, which was one of •

mangling kind. It was Bermingham talent s.ainst ■ Lumley's
wacing. Hall cleared his ocrurse and 600 red his adversary.
4. Neale bled freely from the nose, and after hitting, Hall
closed upon hint, and had a try at weaving. Both men wanted
a slice of Randall's tactics at this game. All the hampering
was tiresome to Hall for want of knack, but superior strength
gave Neale a heavy fall.
5. Both men had out. fought themselves, and much hogging
took place, in distress in the two subsequent rounds.
8. A manly fighting round, in which Neale had decidedly
the best; and be threw his man well.
The 9th was a tame mend, bat the 10th was the best ►n the
fight. Neale met his adversary's rush by a left liandtd facer,
on•whicl, he shook his head and unmtrazled, and turned to at
real work. The men closed twice and broke loose again, and
returned to slaughter-work, and fought each other to their last
standing—they even fought when half down.
11th. Neale here began to 6;ht upon a winning system, and
as Bob Gregson used to say, he made use of his yeal. When
boll, were tired, Neale fought a point, breaking ground, and
rectiNing his adversary's head with his left manly upon tfig
rush, which d him out, and chancerified it uncommonly.
e need not follow fourteen other rounds in detail There •
was mach equal fighting, and equal earnest work. Hall was
ever busy, and Neale was artist enough to judge the road to
win, and the goodness of Hall often brought the other's giving
qualifications to a stand•still, but we areall stopped in turn.
25th round sent Hall to slumber, or scheming as the douse
is technically termed. After a manly round, Hall received a
heavy fall, which sent him into a five minute's sleep, and as he
was deaf to time, Neale won the tight in 42 minutes.
It was altogether as brave a tight as ever took
place on Wimbledon Common.
A nother good fight followed between a craftsman
and a butcher. Won by the snob.

The last, and a full meeting of the fighting men
and their backers, took place on Wednesday lasi, in
Mr. Jackson's room•, for the purpose of receiving
back the stakes deposited for the fight. Mr. Jack-
son having paid Randall 2.501. of his own staked
money, and 7501. to other.. Martin complained
that it had been reported he did not want to fight,
and to prove to the contrary, he would fight Randall
in 24 hours, for ten sovereigns. Randall said there
was no occasion to fight for that sum, but he would
fight him then and there fur the 1301. he had just
received. Martin was silent.
Spring and Nestle..—.on this money being given
up, Spring said he was ready to fight Neste, from
101. to 2001.. of his own money. In the absence of
Neate, Belcher was not prepared to give an answer,
until the 1.501. forfeit was paid. Spring observed
they were both well, and he wished much to try
which was the best man. As to the forfeit, it was
decided that Neate was entitled to it, and should
have it, and any law proceedings should be met by
a subscription.
Hudson and Sitelion.--These rnm met, and Josh.
addressed Shelton very energetically, said, " Why
an't we to fight, Tom t" Shelton replied, that he
meant nothing but fighting, and they who talked
about a cross were only a/card of losing their mo-
ney. It was agreed that this battle should take
place on Thursday the 28th inst.
Mr. Jackson neat produced the epistolatory cor-
respondence from Mr. Elliot, the backer of Spring
and Martin, and also some anonymous correspond-
ence about crossing, but which threw no light upon
any thing in the cross line.
Carter was desirous of fighting Ward, who, it is
believed, sold the battle to Abbott ; but it was
agreed that he should not disgrace the P.C. ropes
and stakes, or receive any patronage.

A fellow at Nottingham, wearing his Majesty's uni-
form, on Saturday last, delivered his wile, (a decent
looking woman), with a halter round her arm, 10 a
men dressed in a smock 'rock, who had previously
agreed to give the vender the vender the sum of ss. for
Ins 1100D11, and psid the purchase money on deliveiy.—
'The transaction took place iu the open market-place of
that town.
