BOXING.

GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN SPRING AND NEATE

This grand combat, which has so long Interested the Sport-
ing World, took place yesterday near Andover, about sixty-six
miles from London. The road was so much thronged with ve-
hicles of every description, that it was with the utmost dia.
culty the jo:trney to town could be performed ; and at the hour
of our going to press, but very few people had returned from
the scene of action. For the present, therefore, we can only
state generally, that Spring was most proudly victorious, his
great science and manly activity having given him a decided
superiority over his more furious and forcibly striking opponent
throughout.--The battle lasted i 4 minutes, and consisted of
eight rounds. In the commencement the combat was very se-
vere, but the advantage soon became decidedly in favour of
Spring, and the conflict terminated in a rally, desperate on the
part of Neate, who however fell completely vanquished with a
broken arm. lie was immediately taken °lithe field, and put
to bed. Surgical assistance was speedily procured, and his arm
having been skilfully set. no doubt was entertained of his speedy
recovery. Spring, who has thus become the undisputed Cham-
pion, was comparatively very little injured.--f None of the
Reporters for the Journals had reached town when our Paper
was put to press.—The above statement is from a Gentleman
who was present at the fight, and who returned to town at a late
hour in his own carriage.]_( Morning Port.)

Miss MACAULEY, on 'Wednesday, read a Poem
of her own composition, entitled " MARY
STu.twr." The Poem appeared to possess con-
siderable merit, us far as we could judge
from. the delivery. The fair Author re-
cited it with great judgment and effect.—
The recitation took place in the Great Concert
Room at the King's Theatre. There was a nu.
merous and elegant audience, and the recitation
was highly and deservedly applauded.
A batch of new Peers having just been made,
a Lady of rank was not sure whether she was in
the habit of visiting (that is, exchanging cards)
with one of the new Peeresses ; and she referred
to the footman in waiting, who was accustomed
to deliver such cards. " Do I visit Lady IL?"
was the question ; to which the servant replied,
" Your Grace has not visited her since the ere.

A Member of Parliament never spoke in the
House of Commons but once, when, in the middle of a debate,
a certain noisy Member, looking accidentally at him, bellou-ed,
" Hear, hear, hear!" to which he calmly replied, " I never
do any Mine the, Mr." The answer immediately got the ap-
plause of the Rouse.
