THE FIGIIT.

I. Shelton made a feint to employ hudson's left hand upon
the parry, but Joshua's break convinced him that was not the
right lock. He missed an over hit, and in closing both went
down without mischief, Shelton under.
2. Josh proved himself the_ best giver at a run of luck—
fought all over home, and dr:Av the first elaretilled hue from
Shelton's nose. He did not seem to feel it, and both turned to
in as regular a bull dog rally as far as power could administer
to man or beast. Heads scarified, teeth loosened, and all the
mortifications of men in actual combat followed. In the ciose
both went down. Shelton under, although more than a stone
heaviest.

3. A brilliant round to the fancy who delighted in slaughter-
work. It was
,give and take, without hugging or scheming to
get away from industry. The men hit each other's heads into
even a Master's Chancery-suit. They got to something of a
stand still, with bellows to mend, courage undefined, and a
know nothing of themselves. Shelton was floored by an awk-
ward facer, which let loose the claret from different pores. It
was a manly stand up round, and both were bent upon mis-
chief.-2 to I on Josh.

4,5, and 6, were a repetition of former rounds, with much
equal stedfast fighting, rather in favour of Hudson, but with
points like trick and tie, and both bleeding freely. In the sixth
round Hudson placed an uncharitable hounder upon his adver-
sary's left-handed listener, broke his }mound, and tied up all he
seemed to have in him by a hit over his adversary's eye-lid. In
closing, both fell weak.
Here the fight was interrupted by a my/ between Tom Owen
and Tom Belcher about the men. They had a hit or two at
each other, and Tom Owen proved himself good at least for a
yearling stake, and, as he said, would, upon a future occasion,
put things upon chimneys.
7. A most gallant round in which Hudson hit his adversary
to a stand still, made claret fly in all directions from the scari-
fied eye-lid in the last Tally. Both went down in a rally. Shel-
ton under-4 to 1 on Hudson.

U. Severe rallying, alternately in favour of each. The manly
exchanges left things upon nearly par. It was thought by con-
noisseures that victory was certain in favour of Josh, with youth,
strength, breed, game, and every requisite to form a boxer.—
Josh gave the fall in this round.
In the thli, Shelton had an advantage, and placed hits left and
right upon his adversary's drulrback, and half closed the peepers
of Josh.

The 14th round was a quietus for Hudson. Time was called,
but neither had au car to it for more than two minutes. Josh
was deaf to it altogether from a hit in the side, and Shelton was
poundable not to be able to get up again.
A meeting took place at St. Alban's after the fight, and the
friends of Hudson claim a draw as to bets, as neither had the
power in them to meet time.
It was altogether the best fight seen since Gully and Gregson,
or Dogherty and Silverthorne. There was no hugging ; weav-
ing was not required, and the men were firm as British oak.

MELANCHOLY EVENT.—Death of HICKMAN, the Gas-
Lightman, and Mr. LowE.—Last night as Mr. Lowe, a sil-
versmith in Aldersgate-street, and Hickman, the gas-lightman,
a well-known pugilist of the first rate, were returning home in
a single horse chaise, accompanied with about a dozen others,
from the above fight, each were driving in a regular succession,
and had been doing so for, some distance. Mr. Lowe and
Hickman, we are sorry to state, unfortunately went out of the
line, and on endeavouring to get the advantage of their compa-
nions, came in contact with a country waggon, near Whetstone,
when they were instantly thrown under its wheels, and, me-
lancholy to relate, both were killed on the spot. Their bodies
were afterwards taken to the White Hart, at Whetstone, where
the now lie for the Coroner's Inquest.

Thursday the Rev. C. CIIAMPNES, one of the
Minor Canons of Windsor, was found in the road
leading from Datchet-lane by the Thames, un-
able to move, having slipped down and broke his
leg. He was temoved home, and is doing well.
