BOXING.

BATTLE BETWEEN 11ARRIS AND YOUNA, THE JEW.
AFTER TIIE EPSOM RACES, ON FRIDAY.
Time was called, and a roped ring was immediately made
under the stands, to a have a comfortable situation, in which the
amateurs stood half-a-bull. Several elegantly dressed females
were peeping from barouches, &c. A subscription purse of
101. was collected, when Harris, attended by his seconds, Hud-
son and Neate, threw up his hat. Youna, followed by Ward
and Morris (a fine young man who defeated Gybletts) repeated
the token of defiance.
Harris is well known to the prize ring as a boxer of talent ;
and Youna no stranger to the amateurs. The latter proved
himself a very ti oubletome customer to Ned Turner in the best
part of his day ; and Youna has also had a shy with Jack Ran-
dall. Harris defeated Youna on the same turf last year; but
the Jew being considered in better condition at the present pe-
riod, and Harris rather out of order, Youna was thought to'
have a good chance. Five to four on larris.
The first twelve rounds were well fought, and much science
was displayed on both sides.
. 13. This was a very desperate round. Harris gave the Jew
a Wier that shortened his length; however, Youna soon re-
covered, and came up to fight like a man. The Jew got away
well; but in some heavy exchanges Youna at length took the
lead. He ?lobbed Harria..severely all over the ring ; in fact, the
punishment was so sharp, that Harris; in a state of distress,
turned away. In closing both down, and Harris undermost
14: Equally good. Harris took great liberties with his ad
versary's head. " That's the way, my boy," said Hudson,
" you have plenty of time to shew the amateurs lots of sport;
but remember that you behave in a Gentlemanly sort of way
before the Ladies, God bless them. I never saw so many lovely
creatures at a mill before." Youna put in a severe.body_ blow:
Good counter hits. In closing, Harris down. Great shouting
from all parts of the ring. "'Palk of racing," observed a hero
of the first rank in life. " Itrhat's the Derby or Oaks compared
to an out-and-out mill like this ?"
16. Counter-hits. The Jew was getting weak, and to make
the matter worse, he received some sharp bits till he went
down'. Tl.ree to one.

16. and last. This was a finishing round indeed ! Hit for
hit all over the ring, and back again. Greater cotiraKe or more
manliness aro never seen in nuy round by the best fighters on
the list. Both quite exhausted. In closing Harris went down,
and was undermost. We never. heard greater shoutin pr more
applause at any battle. When time was called, the Jew, lay-
ing on: the ground, Oserved, be had received a /Wt, which
prevented him fighting any more. It was over in 33 minutes.

The Arundel and Portsmouth Canal, which
was so happily brought to a conclusion on Mon-
day last, was four years in forming, and cost
about 160,0001. The advantages calculated to
result from this undertaking, will be of consider-
able local convenience to many parts of this
county.—(llumpshire Telegraph.)
The orchards and plantations in the neigh-
bourhood of Maidstone were never known 'to
present greater prospects of a prolific season.
There is scarcely any species of fruit but exhi-
bits appearance of an abundant crop. The dif-
ferent sorts of corn also look remarkably well,
and appear likely to yield a plentiful harvest.
The hap plantations are not so favourably re.
ported ; the general appearance of them is
weakly, being much eaten with the flea Sand in-
jured by the cold nights; the fly has also made
its appearance in a few grounds.—Kentish
Gazette.

six years,hns, within a few months baCk, cut four
