BOXING.

OLIVER ARO SIIELTON.--These first-rate men of
strength and science fought the renewed match of
100 guineas a side on Thursday, in a field close
upon Sawbridgeworth, Huts, the property of a man
who would have no hesitation in trieedifsing a beak,
or mudding with a squad of Railicala. His propri-
etorship was nee doubted, and the new Act of
Parliament was not put in force, as the Commissary
General, in the absence of the great Captain, said
no mischief was meant, and he'd be blared if any
wreaks nosed there without being paid fin' it.
The field of action was 25 miles from London,
sued yet many thousands had asstmbled in the ring
Ft one o'clock, in spite of the inclement weather,
which from the roads made the odds of neck break-
ing not less than 2to 1. One thing was proved,
-that this was nut a trading fight—Gtorge tress
was
not in the hunt, and the peqle were satisfied.—
Spring seconded Skelton, and Randall was the great
performer for Oliver, and a very manly conflict fol-
lowed.

of red and black lines: the perfect mathematical
coincidence of the extremity of the lines of different
colours on the sides of the squares will be effected
by the arraegement of machinery of singular fidelity.
Bat even with tie use of this machinery, a person
who has not the key to the proper disposition of its
parts would make millions of experiments to no
purpose. Other obstacles to imitation will be also
presented in the structure of the note, but this is the
one principally relied upon. It is plain that any
failure in the imitation will be manifest to the ob-
servation o the most careless ; and the most skilful
mechanics who have seen the operation declare the
note cannot be imitated. The machine works with
three cylinders, and the impression is made by small
