brought to issue yesterday, about a mile below Green-
hithe, in Kent. The Nymph steamer was chartered for
the occasion, and at half-past eight cast loose from Hun-
gerford. On the voyage down, at London-bridge and
Blackwall, she was joined by the Fairy and two or three
steam tugs, which had come in to share the profits of
the trip by conveying the less moneyed lieges of her
Majesty who might not be able to raise the heavier sum
demanded on board the more aristocratic Nymph, which
carried " head-quarters," consisting of the belligerents,
their backers, friends, and the superior order of ring-
goers. At Charlton, Norley, who had trained at Brigh-
ton, embarked, but the steamer held on her way and
reached Gravesend, where Massey, who had trained at
Shoreham, came on board. The Nymph now retraced
her course to Greenhithe, where, reinforced by an-
other tug-boat of the mobility, the concourse landed,-
and the lists were quickly pitched on a level piece
of greensward, selected by the practised eye of the vete-
ran commissary, Tom Oliver. At half-past two o'clock
all was ready and the men in the ring, when an unex-
pected difficulty arose. It had been arranged that um-
pires and a referee should, to recognise time, be chosen
on board the boat, and a Noble Lord and a Gallant
Baronet had kindly consented to stand umpires, while a
stalwart Captain had been named as referee. To this
arrangement, however, the Manchester party objected,
and much time (upwards of an hour) was unnecessarily
consumed. At a quarter to four all difficulties were
arranged, and the men stood up ; the colours, scarlet
with white spot for Massey, and white with red fancy
pattern for Norley, having been long fluttering from one
of the centre stakes. Norley was enquired by Jew
Turner and Macdonald, while the Slit ffielder was waited
on by Johnny Hannan and Young Sambo. Massey's
weight was Bst. 51b., that of Norley half a pound more ;
yet, as they faced each other, Massey looked the bigger
and rounder man, while Norley had the superiority in
length of arm. A mere outline of the rounds will
suffice. Norley began operations by feinting with the
left, and trying to induce Massey to make his fa-
vourite rush, but the Sheffield blade was cautious, and
after offering many times in turn, jumped back from or
parried Norley's intended favours; at length Massey got
in his left on Norley's cheek, who fought up quickly and
slipped down. 2. Massey kept offering and jumping in
and out; a pause, Massey returning to the scratch after
twice forcing Norley to his corner. At length Norley
steadied himself, got within distance, and let fly his left
viciously, catching his opponent's forehead and right ear
sharply. Norley again hit up with both bands in a
bustling rally, and slipped down. Thus the affair went
on, Massey forcing the fighting, and going in resolutely
with various success. Sometimes administering severe
punishment with his right on Norley's left cheek bone,
and at others getting jobbed and stopped by Norley's
left in a style sufficient to daunt nine out of ten. Still
he went on, coming up surprisingly strong, while his
older antagonist, on whom time had told more heavily,
grew gradually less efficient in his dc-liveries, Many
times did Massey make his right hand tell on Norley's
ribs and breastbone, and as often did " the Salford
Cock" pop hia left wing on to Massey's left eye. Thus
the mill progressed till GO rounds, occupying one hour
and a half, had been contested. Norley had been for
some time on the getting (loan system, and it was clear
to those of judgment, that his chance of turning the tide
of battle was a faint one, inasmuch as his adversary's
Herculean frame (albeit in an abridged volume) seemed
to lose no tittle of its power or activity. Norley now
frequently fell to close rounds, at which dissatisfaction
was expressed, and appeals made to the referee, who
ordered the contest to proceed until round 66, when
I Massey fought Nutley to the ground, cries of " Take
