BOXING.

PETER CRAWLEY AND ACTON.

The usual motley assemblage dropped in yesterday ; any
thing, and every thing, that could bear a trace, were assembled
together on Blincley-heath, Surrey, 2l miles from London....
The seconds were Harry Holt and Benj. Burn, for Crawley;
and Eales and Scroggins, for Acton. Average betting 7 to 4
on Crawley.

Round 1. Both hit blows away, and after an irregular clone
both went down; but Acton, who was nearly a atone heavier,
gave the fall, and he was cheered.

2. here a tremendous fight began by Acton placing first hit,
which Crawley parried downwards, and pointed after breaking
ground as if hit below the waistband. A rally followed, and,
after some exchanges of blows, Crawley grassed his adversary
by a clean right-handed blow upon the Jaw, which produced
also the claret from the corner of the mouth-2 to 1 on
Crawley.
3. A rare round in science and in manhood. The men went
up to each other's heads, and fought like a dog at a bull.
Crawley placed two left-handed nobbers upon the head, but he
was hit heavily upon the body in return, and in a rally there
was some mischief done to each. After some counter.hitting,
Crawley was thrown, but both were down.
4. Crawley placed a right-handed blow (flush) upon his ad.
versary's nob, and threw his left into the body. lie had not
exactly his own way, his adversary was with him at work, and
exchanged about equal hits, but they had not the force of those
of Crawley, who was grassed with it hit, but not exactly a knock
down.

5. Crawley had the best of A molly tally, b►tt he had the
worst of the throw.

6. Crawley tscd his left hand very satisfactorily, but his
adversary was with him in every movement, although his hit.
tang was the less effective. In a manly stand-up rally, until
the Piper had the command, Crawley went down with a slight
blow.

7. Acton was bellows-nundbig, open-mouthed. Ile went
wildly to work, and after having been ri obbed , for working too
fast. he ran his adversary down.
B. Crawley placed a heavy slap upon his adversary's head,
and fell upon his blow.
9. This round Was a running one for Crawley. He measured
his length well, timed himself, let loose with his left hand, and
scarified Acton's forehead. lie then broke his ground, and
shewed himself a great general upon the retreating system.-
4eton rallied manfully; but the work was taken out of him.—
Every organ seemed to want relief—the head was groggifled—
and the man done.

10. Acton made a very manly effort, and in spite of distress
went up to his adversary s head. and fought like a lion. Be
placed a heavy right-h:m(lrd blow upon the kidneys, which
stopped Crawley, and he wus thrown heavily upon the back of
his head. _ _

---
IL Crawley, in disorder, hit out with the leflhand and missed.
His second steadied him, and called out "lus crossiNg," mean.
ing he was hitting blows away. Crawley fell upon his seat after
a rally, in which many exchange blows were placed ;
_he did not
go down directly with a blow, but he felt stupitied with the
effects of hitting.
12. This round gave a guides to Acton. Ile stood up in a
gore of claret, open-mouthed and all abroad. Crawley hit
him three times on the head with the left hand, but Acton
chewed himself a man, and returned hits. In the rally which
ended the fight. Acton was hit to death, to use the phrase,
but he stood up to receive the knock-down, which ended the
tight, and he laid on the grass senseless to time. Crawley as
the winner, is punished much about the body.
A second pulley.hauky bloodless fight took place between
Stockton and Aaron, a Jew, which was won by the latter.
