BOXING.

Yesterday a pugilistic contest took place at
Coombe Wood, between Smith and Scroggins, fur
501. As Smith was well known, the odds were
six to four on him before setting-A° (which they
did at one o'clock), -and after an obstinate con-
test of an hour, in which 52 rounds were fought,
'Scroggins was declared victor ; indeed, after the
fourth round he had evidently the advantage.
Smith, after being carried off the field,•preserved
a sullen silence, vexed at his defeat from never
having been heat before ; lie was much punished:
about the body, as well from. his severe falls, as
from the blows of his -antagonist, who left.the
ring apparently fresh.
A number of Gentlemen Amateurs were pre-
sent, and •a second fight commenced between a
Sailor and a Jew, for a subscription purse, which
Caused much diversion among the spectators, as
the Sailor, by superior strength, put science at
defiance, and, after 27 rounds, the Jew gave in.

We are authorized to correct a statement which
appeared in TnE Su (copied front other Papers),
respecting Sir CnnaLvs Rim/ having deducted
from his rents in Berkshire 25 per cent. To
those tenants who. bad taken farms in the year
1813 at a very advanced rent, lie did return a
portion of their rent, but by no means to the
amount of 25 per cent. From those farms which
had been let at 'an earlier date, he made no de-
duction.

Mrs. NPGIBBON is at present thelleroine of the
Newcastle Theatre. She is much admired by
the town,.and lauded by the Critics. !LAI! husband
is also engaged at like same place, and is consi-
dered as a respectable actor of the middle class.--,
Mrs. M4GlBaolv, besides theatrical talents, has
displayed tier literary powers in .several works of
such merit_ as may well account for the accuracy
with which she delivers the text of the dramatic
author.
