BOXING.

Two manly battles took place yesterday in
Moorton Enclosures, eight miles northward of Blackwater,
llants, and the punishment received on all sides left no pre-
tence for a wrangle. The first was between Joel TVeston, a
publican, and Nesbit, a smith, who had fought and conquered
until he was quite sweet upon himself.
Five rounds, which occupied forty-two minutes were glut-
tonons/y contested. The first lasted eleven minutes, and each
had the best of it, until Nesbit was floored by a stunning hit,
which cracked his left temple severely.
2. Both weie bleeding in torrents, but they were not to be
stopped by trifles. Nesbit fought gallantly, and made some
good hits tell. After a rally of seven minutes Weston was
thrown a heavy cross buttock, which made his frame rattle

again.
J. The piper was at work at each very strong, and, together
with loss of blood and chancerified nobs, they were much the
worse for the work, and the fastness was all over. Both were
abroad, and both went down in an irregular close.
4. Nesbit was receiver again over the contused temple, which
floored him from the scratch, and stupified him.
5. Weston never left his adversary, who was stunned, and he
again dropped him and won the battle.
SECOND BATTLE.
Morton and Smith, two brave little men, fought an hour for
five sovereigns, and proved themselves out and out good. Smith
got his collar-bone broken, and lost the battle, when he had ten
to one best. It was done by a throw.

ROYAL ANECDOTE.—A correspondent on whom
we place much reliance, has favoured us with the following
anecdote, which has not before appeared in print :—The cele-
brated Mr. C—sel, of Norfolk, whose predilection for bearing
radical addresses to the Throne is proverbial, had laid so many
at the feet of the most exalted Personage in the realm, that at
length his 111—N, with a good-humoured smile, said to him,
" If you bring me up any more of these addresses, C—ke, I'll
surely Knight you."—(Cheltenham Chronicle.)
SMUGGLING f NGENUITY.—OnT uesday morning
one of the officers of the coast blockade observed
four large pieces of rock, commonly called Folk-
stone stone, much used in buildings, lying on the
beach, near the Stade, at Folkstone, and having
before observed pieces of a similar description,
which, however, in a short time removed, he
turned one of these pieces with difficulty over, and
discovered in the opposite side a bung hole and
cork, and which on drawing he found, what was
thought to be a solid piece of stone, to be a vessel,
answering the purpose of a half anker, and contain-
ing a gallon and upwards of spirits of brandy ! This
most singular and ingenious smuggling device cer-
tainly beats the one sometime since adopted, of
coveting the tubs with plaister of Paris, to re-
semble white chalk fragments,and has been effect-
ed in this way :—the rock was sawn asunder and
hollowed, so as to leave a cavity, after which the
bung-hole was drilled, and the two halves ce-
mented together. Such a contrivance, in a bet-
ter cause, would have done credit to the projec-
tor, and would prove that if blood cannot be had
from a stone, brandy can.—(Kent _Herald.)
