mo.e observations on :hp
The battle between the •leading champions, 33-WC
observed ye,sterday, excited tht,..nwA interest, am.l it
turned out fliat,G.,-egson- was the -most injured. He
was removed from the Hurst to the King's Head,
of Hampton; where he remained until yesterday.
The right s!de of his, face present 4 a" sueaacle which
will be readily conceived by the 'Reader, when it is
stated, that he received on that part upwards of a
score of Crin's left-handed blows, exclusve of some
httabout.the Mins. It is but justice to obwr,ye; that
during-every minute of the obstinate ;cpiaflia Greg-
son entertained a strong opinion.of winning- It is cer-,
tairf be would have stayed-another quarter of an hour,

hal it not been for the tall he received in the “venty7

third and last round, which so deprived him of
strength, that he could not appear again at the half-
minbte time. Crib, it seems, received three blows
more tremendous than the rest, and one of these
was on the temple, in the sixth round, and the
, other on the breast, in the seventh round.. In both
these rounds, as will be seen in yesterday's de-
..

tail, Crib hAd the wor,t, of- it, and was hit to a

State of stupidity,; and had
,Gregson fought at arms'
-length, without closing, he must 'have made a won-
derful alteration iri the battle. The other blow,
which disfigures Crib, is behind the rigilh ear. He
Was taken to the Toy lon, at Hampton Court, and
bled, and yesterday Gully conveyed him to Lon-
don: Crib challenged to tight Richman the Black,
who had offended him, for 50 guineas, without put-
ting his,shirt on, in the same ring where he had con-
quered Gregson.
Cropley is also most hideously disfigured about the
head ; and although Belcher had the advantage of
the whole 'of the battle, with the exception of two
or
.three rounds, yet a fall winch Cropley received
in the last round abruptly terminated' this combat
also. He was thrown heavily on the"hack part of
his head; which fairly bounded from' the ground
into the hands of Hall, his second, and he Was
unable also to face his adversary in time. At the ex-
piration of the time to meet again, Cropley was sense-
less, and when his seconds were reMoving him, the
stan o. the fall having -partly left him, he put
himself ogain in a defensive attitude, and begged to
be Wired to his man, and complained of not being
half bear. As much respecting that fight as can be
interesting, was given yesterday in substance, and
we a,.nn repeat, it excited as much attentiontas any we
ever before wit nesed. It was a true speci,ipKti.Of skill
and bottom ; and Cropley evidently lint ,his adver-
sary's length, and givitlg his own heart to Belener's
hits, Cropley was constantly hit at going in, and
Belcher was too good a judge to drop this offensive
sySiem.
Dogherty was stupidly in,toxicated with strong li-
quors, when he engaged in an unexpected combat;
but he was sobered before the end of the battle.—
His adversary, who was palmed upon the ring as a
countryman, resides in the country of Drury-lane,
and gave some good specimens Of his ability. Sixty-
three rounds were toui;ht, wheii Doherty was de-
clared tire victor.

On Friday morning, Carlisle gaol was again broken
open, when the notorious Naylor, along with three
other prisoners, viz. White, Row, and Barnes, made
their escape. The Manner in ~which- this under-
taking was achieved displayed much ingenuity and
courage, and gives some consistency to the bravado
of Naylor himself, that no gaol in England butt
Lancaster Castle could hold him. Sinc,e his last
return to the place of his confinement, he was
loaded with above 60 pounds weight of iron, only
eight pounds short of that which thejimous
Baron Trenck had to sustain- while confined in his
dungeon at Magdeburgh ; he was chained to the
wall, frequently- handcuffed, and generally shin-
!), lied and neck-bolted.—Under all these disheart-
ning circumstances, he effeeled his escape Merely
by means of two iron bars, which had been wrench-
ed tram the windows of the cell. With these im-
plements, he, with the help of his fellow-prisoners,
forced the flags from beneath the door (each stone,
being sunk a great depth), and proceeding forward,
made a hole sufficient to admit one person(' at a
time. Having accomplished this, they ISCaled the
iron palisade, and 'the outermost wall Ofihe prison,
and got clear off. The ingenuity oflylor, as a
prison-breaker, has long been known.: some years
ago,. when confined it Richmond prisdn, in York-
shire, he removed a stone from under the door of
his cell, which was above tt ton weight, by taking
away the earth from below it, when it sunk down,
leaving the iron work that secured it, and gave him.
morn to free himself.

ROYAL HUNT.--On Saturday pot-ping his Ma-
,
j'esty's stag--bounds were hunted, with a numerous
field of Noblemen and Gentlemen sportsmen. They
rtssembied about ten o'clock near Broad Common,
where there was a remarkable fine deer turned out
of a cart' for the day's diverslon. The deer started
with great swiftness, and continued so for upwards
of an hour and a half principally through the inelo-
towardl the Thames ; when he got near, 'Wind-
sor, he ihelterPd-himself in one of the aits fur some
time. Several of the sportsmen procured a boat,
and put him upon the run again ; he came put near
the to'wn of Windsor, and would have run through
the town, but was prevented by a numerous group
of foot-pursuers, which caused him tp take to the
Thames again, \Ninth he crossed, and tOok his Course
by Eton College : the horse-sportsnimin- their pur-
suit paSsed through the towns of IVindm4 and L on,
which highly amused. and astonished the
,tlafi)Ts.
The young gentlemen of Eton College joined in the
sport. The deer was at length taken near Langley
Church.' MN. Baker, a celebrated •horser,voman, was
in the cline, and continued during the whole hunt;
she was exceedingly well mounted, and rode very
well ; took the leaps as well as any Gtiptlelll3ll
