BOXING.

The fight between David Hudson and Neak
the Streatham youth, as well as that between
Stockman and Cavenaughl took place yesterday
on Blindeley

FIRST FIGHT.
Hudson's battles with Martin, by whom he was vanquished ;
and with Scroggins, who yielded to his prowess, ranked him
high as a boxer under 12 stone, and shewed there was no mis.
take in the brotherhood between him and the brave Joshua.—
David is one of the most lion-harted, daring fighters that:ever
faced an adversary—he goes up to his man's head, and is diffi.
cult to be choked off; but he has lost an eye, which is a won.
derful drawback. Neal, or O'Neil, is of Irish extraction,
and is a fine young man .more than 12 stone, and under 20
years of age ; he beat the Birmingham Hall in November, and
proved himself a cool, collected, scientific boxer. The men
entered the ring soon after one o'clock, and the affray began.
Harry Holt and the phenomenon Ward seconded Neale, and
Josh. Hudson and the veteran Tom Owen, picked up Hudson.
EVen betting, but Neale had the choice.
In the first round the men tried each other for first chance,
and seven minutes were exhausted in getting at the first hit.
Neale made it somewhere about the throat, in a fighting Phrase
called Adam's Apple, the bulk in the throat. Hudson rallied,
and some exchanges f hits not.very useful took place. Hud.
son's hits were too short, and he was thrown a heavy cross.
battock from a close.

..A. lame roundand tame one also; and Hudson was again
thrown, and his friends called out that he had from six to eight
Stone too much fat about him.

3. Ina conflicting rally both shewed first blood, but Hudson
exhibited first from the right temple, and that near handed
peeper the right ogle was'the blinker. There was much des-
peration on both sides, and Hudson floored his adversary in a
rally, not with a hit but with something emblematical of
courage. Even betting.
4. In this round, and the four following, the youth Neale
Measured his distance well, and Hudson was playing the piper.
David was too short upon his adversary, and with his execu-
tion (however daring) he could not get close enough to place
his intended hits, and he was thrown in every round by dexte..
city and by superior strength.
The 9th round was a prelude to a finish with Hticlatiti.—
Neale turned to at him with give and take, at which Davidhad
no chance. Neale, elated by success in enterprise, went in
and won the battle off hand, in 28 minutes. ,

REMARKS.—Any thing further would tire a reader, as
Hudson had no chance, with the exception of a hit or two is
the ear, in the rallies between the 4th and Bth rounds. Neale
had superiority in years, also in weight, science, and the gift
of the knack of throwing. Hudson proved himself a very
game.loser, and his punishment was severe. Neale came off a
Winner with much exertion and trouble, and his upper works a
good deal exchequered.
SECOND FIGHT.

STOCKMAN AND CAVENAUGH.—Our time will not allow
us to give the merit this battle deserves; To those. itho. did
not.see the sanguinary conflict between Gully and Gregeon at
Newmarket, we cannot convey an idea of the present combat.
To those who did see that battle, the present was an equal scene
,of slaughter.
In the first round Stockman drew blood, which was not the
case in a former fight when Cavenaugh won. The battle lasted
more than an hour. Cavenaugh was kept bleeding the whole
of the fight, and his adversary has had his share of the deluge
too. The claret sent the seconds into wet ground, which re-
viving figures assisted all the way home without Sir Oliver's
aid or the Lumley Gaff.

BAPTISMAL IMMERSION OF AN INFANT.---Ott
Sunday last, the 14th inst., was baptized by his father, with ,
trine immersion, in the font of Littleham Church, after the
second lesson. at evening prayer, Fontelautus, first born son
Of the Rev. Prebendary Dennis, B.C.L. This is probabl
the first instance of scriptural and primitive mode of admi-
nistering church baptist!' since the Restoration. By the Apo;
itolical Canons, neglect of trine immersion is punishable with
deposition. It is recognized as the universal practice by the
Council of Carthage, and other Councils. It is required
by the original English liturgy, , and is rendered discretional
by the present ; the rubric directing the priest to " dip the
child.discreetly and warily," but in no ease permitting the
Prevailing practice of sprinkling, or even of allusion, except on
certificate of weakness :—" If they shall certify him that the
child may well endure it, he shall dip it in the water/ ,
Creetly and warily; but if they certify that the child is weak,
it shall suffice to pourwater upon it." An unexceptionable
provision was made for such ciao, by the decisinn of the Colin-
cil of Florence, in 1389, as to its being " indifferent whether
baptism be administered in warm or cold water." Christ's and
the Eunuch's coming out of the water—St. Paul's, four refs..
rences to baptism as washing, and two assertions of baptismal
burial with Christ, concur in proof of immersion being the
scriptural practice. The early fathers, liturgic* councils, rind
the Salisbury missal, prove its subsequent continuance. AUu.
;ion was establiihed by Calvin's Cienevelie liturgy ; and asper-
sion by the Lung Parliament Presbyterian Directory. By
Charles the Second's liturgy, immersion is restored; but has not
been practically revived. Tbree sons of Sir Robert Shirley, in
the reign. of Charles the First, are the last recorded'instances
of ilifantine immersion at. baptism. The arguments in support ,
of the practice are detailed in Mr. Dennis s " Prohibition of
Bigitismal Immersion by Calvin, the Perversion' of Justifying'
Faith,"—(Exeter Gazette.)

A survey of the windows of all inhabited
houses is now being made in this city by order of.
the Board of Taxes. Having given up half the
duty, the Commissioners seem determined to ,1
make the most of what rernhins.—(Exeter Paper) I
