There was a fine day's play on E otn I)Jwns on
Tuesday, in three fights, the first of which was
between Spring and Robert Bern, fin• 100 guineas
a side. Spring is a tirst rate seieitycil boxer, if not
a smashing hitter ; and Burn, who had been beat
twice by Slivlton, had shewn himself a game man.
We have no room for preface, further than there •
was a great contrast in the appearance of the mil,
Barn being in excellent condition, and Spring ema-
ciated and in ill health. Ci•illb and lielttin se-
conded and Randall and Larkin officiated
for Burn.—Betting was even.

left hand, upon the head, and limn was too much ot *s-

17. Burn was too. weak to stand, and he fell against
the ropes, and was in a position to be bit, but Spring
with uplitled hand. manfully walked away, and the
ronnal settled it.
Throe Was never a turn in the fight, and Spring won it
by science. limn wits not active enough to du any thing

ball for a purse, sud manfully milled away. In the early
part of the biddy one of Gyblett's peepers ware dark-

is the best fighter, won it.
A Gypsyy lad uttered to have a turn up with any one of
his weight, and West Country Dick was picked out fur
him. Dick said lie would tight to please the Gentlemen,
but he bad not seen a da:* thr oil night, and had :itzlied

On Tuesday last a gentleman of Henry-street.
Pentonville, being about to ship some goods to a
relation in Wales, had given the necess..ry orders
for that purpose. In the course of the afternoon
walked out with his lady and child, and shorty
after a respectably dress al young girl knocked at his
door with a parcel, saying it was for his relation in
Wales, requesting it might be taken care ot; and
givca to hint ou his return, at the same time ten-
dering a hill, and demanding 31. which the credu-
lous servant, in her anxiety to do right, Lorrowed of
a neighbouring tradesman, and the impostor escaped
without detection. The parcel, on oyening, was
found to contain a few cocoa nuts.
