PUGILISM.

WILLIAM SMITH (OF BRIGHTON) AND THOS. ROBERTS
(OF LONDON).—The encounter between these men took
place yesterday, in the "home circuit," the ring being
formed by Fred. Oliver, in the absence of the veteran corn•
missary, on a well-known spot. The men were not restricted
to weight, but in this Roberts had all the advantage of his
antagonist. Smith, who is better known by the sobriquet
of " the doctor," had for seconds Bill Gillam, of Brighton,
and Dan Collins, while young Hill and Jack Callaghan did
the requisite for Roberts, who was the non-favourite in the
betting.. At 10 minutes past one the men were leftto begin
the contest, which may be summed up in very brief terms.

selection of ground, where for the second time the ring was
formed, when, as Roberts did not think proper to again
enter the list, notwithstanding he had been warned of the
consequences by the referee, the battle was awarded to
Smith, who, on leaving the ring, displayed little or no
punishment.

GLASGOW CELTIC.—The first general meeting for
the formation of this corps was held on Friday in the Lower
Trades' Hall, which was pretty well filled by members of the
Glasgow Celtic Society. Col. Campbell, of Skipness, presi-
dent of the society, occupied the chair. A report was read
from the provisional committee, which had met several times
to make the necessary arrangements for the proposed
corps. Bailie M'Gregor then moved a resolution, which
was as follows :—" Seeing that upwards of fifty gen-
tlemen had signified their intention to join a rifle company,
it is the opinion of the present meeting that the company
be formed under the auspices of the Glasgow Celtic Society,
and that its designation be the Glasgow Celtic Rifle Com-
pany.' " Bailie M'Gregor said that the society would
have been among the first to form a rifle corps had not
their attention been engrossed by the preparation for
the Highland Games, and because they could not have
given the matter the attention it deserved. He tanned
that the Highlanders were as loyal subjects as any
her Majesty possessed, and had do doubt that if they were
called to do active duty they would not be behind any of
their fellow-country wen. He approved of rifle corps, inas-
much as, judging from the late continental wars, our country
was not free from danger, and because they might be trained
to be an efficient defence of our islands, and allow the re-
gular soldiers to go and defend any important interests
elsewhere. This motion was seconded by Mr. Brown, and
carried with acclamation. Other minor arrangements
occupied the meeting till the close.
