BOXING.

AB. BELASCO and HA LTON the IRISH CHAMPION.
This battle, for 100 sovereigns aside, was fought yesterday on
Harpenden Heath, four miles from St. Albans, a
Harts', 2 and 5
from London. The group on the road to action formed miscel-
lany very rarely observed, even at a popular Middlesex Election.
Every, one had his hobby if not a brown in the cly, and &ince, felt
their honor as much at stake as what they termed Grecians. Be-
lasco's friends and supporters backed him at bto 4. Richmond
and Ben Burn seconded Belasco, and Josh. Hudson and Ran-
dall officiated for Halton. On Belasco throwing his castor into
the ring it blew out again, and the Shiners thought it a bad
omen. A few minutes elapsed before both shook hands.—
Halton seemed to want confidence.
Round 1. Belasco, after about three minutes' sparring, placed
his hits left and right upon the held, and Halton hit short ;
in a close Belasco fell, and Halton (although in the heat of
action) hit his adversary when supposed down. Cries of " foul"
and " fair," and a general row. The Umpire decided fair.
2. Belasco much outfought his adversary, bled him at the
mouth, and threw him. 6 and 7t04 on Belasco.
3. Halton went in bent upon mischief, and Belasco waited
upon him as a hawk would a tone-tit bird. Halton threw away
his blows, became intemperate at receiving, and wits ?lobbed
away and worsted at the weaving system ; he bled at the ear. .
4. In a close, Belasco gat his head under his adversary's
arm, and fiddled away upon the weaving system until the
Claret flew in streams, and Halton's chance was rather more
than precarious ; 2 to I was upon the foundering system.
b. Balton shewed much anxiety and determination to get in,
but he was so out fought by his adversary meeting him, and
then breaking ground, that good judges thought, unless t;te
out, it was Hertfordshire to one of its mill-streams.
6. A game round and much fighting; Halton had none of
the worst of it; he hit his adversary's head with the right
hand, but the blow having been received upon the retreat, did
but little execution on the back of the lug.
7. Both were upon the piping system, and but little work
done. The men were like carpenters upon in-door work on a
winter's day.
B. Belasco placed a heavy body blow upon his adversary,
and Halton's hits were avoided by superior science. : •
Until the 13th Mum! Belasco led, and then won it without
dropping blood: Halton often got wild, and received blows
in the head and body which groggilled him. He was hit clown
upon the weaving game in the Bth round, and in the 10th lid'
floored his adversary. In the 13th round Belasco repeated
heavy punishment, and the ring became clamorous. It wm,
said that Belasco fell upon his adversary, anti " foul and fair"
was most lustily sung out, but the umpire said " fair," won
it, and proclaimed Belasco the winner.
SECOND FIGHT.
Some infatuated of the lower order of the sister kingdom pit
into the ring, thinking their countryman had not been kindly
treated. They were bludgeon armed. Some countrymen got
into the ring, mistaking them for some prigs, and were al'o
armed la Inane. Some Jews, more handy with their mazekis,
took the part of Belasco, and a regular mill of a quarter of an
hour's duration took place, when claret flew most abundantly,
until all were worsted—the conveyancers interfered, and had
the hest of the row ; they pocketed all affronts.

BRIGHTON, APRIL 7.
DEATII BY BOXING.--A Coroner's laqUeSt was held at the
Lord Nelson public.house, in Great Russell-street, this morn-
ing, on view of the body of poor Smith, who had met with his
death in a pugilistic contest with Dan, or rather Daniel Watts,
before mentioned, on the race-down, on Friday. Several wit
-
rinses were examined, anti the result of the examination was
a finding of " Manslaughter" against Daniel Watts, who in
consequence will be committed to the jail at Lewes, to take
his trial upon the verdict, as soon as he is in a condition to be
removed. At present he is confined to his bed, but the sur-
geons have pronounced him out of danger.
A person, a fly-carriage driver, who had proceeded with a
fare, consisting of four Gentlemen, to the fight on Friday, tin..
derwent an examination at the Bench this morning. The
" bead and front of his offending" was as above noticed. That
he had witnessed the battle he did not attempt to deny, but busi-
ness, and business only, he said, had induced it. He was held in a
recognizance of 201. to keep the peace for one year, notwith-
standing, with two sureties in 101. each, and to remain in cus-
tody until such securities are found. Other persons are ex-
pected to be brought up, and the Magistrates are resolved to
favour none.

Neither Spring nor Shelton have yet found bail. They are
allowed at present exercise in the open air, but never without
the Headboroughs at their' elbows, who, of course, must be
paid for their extra duty and waste of time.

CHESTER M ETHO DIST MISSIONS.—On Friday
the anniversary of this society was held at the
Methodist Chapel, John-street, in this city. At
this meeting, which commenced at two o'clock
and continued till five, when it was adjourned to
seven, and concluded about ten, J OSEPU BUTTER..
wouTn, Esq. M.P. for Dover, presided. There
was much good speaking, but our limits will not
allow us to enter into detail. The weather during
the whole day was extremely unpropitious, the
rain continuing with little intermission from morn-
ing to night. The collections at the meeting,
and the dillerent services, amounted to 651.

Toss, and vice. This impression, which we are t
persuaded if the Ultra Crusade against free-
dom in the Peninsula 'should be attended
(vith any portion of suscess, will bi,come '
snore and more vivid, is pregnant with dangers
so terrible to the Bourbon Throne, that the
King will ere long be under the necessity of
calling to his councils men whose prudence may
in part correct the evils which his present admi-
nistration has engendered, and .whose character,
interests, nod prepossessions, are such as to afford
that guarantee, which in France at the present
day is required, alike to secure private property
and to fix politi9l institutions. The state of pro-
perty in France, in consequence of the charges
produced by the ltevolution,is such as to give the
whole middle class of the people an interest in
opposition to the ancient regime, much more in-
tense than any considerations of mere politics
would be likely to excite. And this class is, be-
yond all compaiison, more respectable and power.
ful than all' tile other ranks of the State, if they
could be united against it. The great mass of the
lower orders, together with all the idle and pro-
fligate, half civil and half military loungers of the
metropolis, would be prompt to rush upon any
revolutionary enterprize, to which the opinions
and the wishes of the middle ranks of society
might point the way. This we believe to be the
true situation of the French Monarchy, or rather
to be a faint outline of the dangers by which it
is beset ;—the obvious policy of the King was,
iherefere, to pursue a calm, steady, and consistent
policy ; to gain time upon jealousy and preju-
dice; to confer upon Erance the blessings of
a Mild and equtil- administration of law, and to
avoid any conduct, either in foreign or domestic
affairs, by which suspicion, or even discussion,
could be awakened.—The infatuation displayed
in the conduct of the French Government
is as surprising, as its effects, if persistejl
in, will be disastrous. The King has sur-
rounded himself with advisers as hateful to the
political sentiments, as they are repugnant to
the private interests of the most powerful and
valuable part of his subjects • not content with
this, he has suffered them to lead him into an
enterprise, of an atrocity so undisguised as to
revolt the mind of every man who reflects upon
it for a moment ; and which is moreover well

with dancing monkeys. Six or seven persons
slept in the same .room, and the monkey was
chained to one of tilt bed posts ; on their going
to bed, one of the women hung some linen
to dry on the back of two chars to the ;

together with the chairs and nearly the whole
of the bed cli)thes wore burnt, when the dread-

pull his master out of bed, at length awoke him
to his perilous condition ; all the inmates got up,
and assisted in extinguishing the fire, which was
dime by a feiv dozen pails, of water; the floor,
chimney-piece, and furniture were nearly de-
stroyed, together with most of their wearing

room were dreadfully ills being nearly suffocated.

Column 1. The area of these Counties was measured on Ar-
row Smith's last Maps (date 1816, 1816), which was formed on
the trigonomt-trical survey. The process of squaring and com-
puting the miles, as well as of estimating the parts of miles on
the borders of each County, having been performed with much
care, the inaccuracies are few and inconsiderable.
Column 2. The Rental is taken from the Property-tax Return
for the year ending AprillBll. The, fall of rent on the one
hind, and extension of culture on the other, probably render
this return, though cqpiparatively of old date, a tolerably accu-
rate representation of ilie present rental of the kingdom.

Column 3. Annual 'value of land by the square miles of 640
statute acres. This is computed from the rent and tithe col.
'actively," and the average of England and Wales in 1811 was
17s 2d per acre : the Counties which take the lead are Leicester
and Somerset, and their chief cause of the superiority is the
extent of good pasture ground.
Scotland and Ireland are nearly equal to each other in area,
and together are somewhat larger than En .gland and Wales.
The assessed rental in Scotland in 1811 was X 3,899,384.

We understand the' gratitude of MERCIER'S
fellow-citizens has already enriched him. The
Civic crown of pure gold presented to him from
Lyons, is alone worth 18,000 francs. It is
made in imitation Of the wreath worn by TALIVIA
in Scylla.. He has been forced to add to his
shop in the Rue St. Denys, a second floor, in
order to be able to supply
the increasing crowds
of customers. Ito sells at double price, but he
migtt sell at almost any price. He has received
presents of a number of snuff-boxes-, but as they
are worth only about seven or eight hundred
francs, they. are thought nothing of. The second
serjeant is also in the way of being well rewarded.
AVIIREY, the Huissier, who lost a situation worth
12,000 francli a year, and who has a wife and
family has yet"had nettling done for him, but it
is expected he will not be overlooked.—(Morn•
