ON THE MARRIAGE OF CAPT. FOOTE WITH MISS PATTEN.
With a PATTEN 10 wife
Through the rough road of life
We may safely and easily jog :
Nay the ring never break,
Nor the knot be found weak,
Nor the FooTE find the PATTEv a Clog.

BOXING.

-...1.1......

Notwithstanding the attraction at the Tennis Courtycsterday,
the .amateurs mustered strong on the Essex Marshes, four miles
from Romford, to see the sporting fight between Gidgeon, the
scientific Jew, and Valentine, the Bristol man, famed for put-
ing an adversary to dorse,- with his right hand. The seconds
were Torn Owen and Josh Hudson for Gidgeon, and Scroggins
and the Romford baker for Valentine. The battle' lasted one
hour and 50 minutes, in which time 79 rounds were fought.
In the first round, after an exehange of hits, Valentine fell,
from the slipperiness of the ground, and the Jew was backed at
6 to 4, being the heaviest man and the best fighter.
The second was a merry fighting round in favour of Gid-
geon, who placed his hits very scientifically, and floored his ad-
versary.
The four following rounds got the odds up to more than 2 to
1 on the Jew.
Round 7. Valentine parried a hit, and gave his adversary a
rattling facer with the right hand, and it was a good fighting
round, but Valentine was down.
Until the 13th round the Jew kept the lead, and knobbed
away with.the left hand, and brought his adversary's head doWn
to right handed punishment. In this round the Jew received a
smashing hit on the temple, which produced the cleanest knock-
down blow in the fight, and exchiquered the Jew's head. This
brought the betting to nearly even.
Gidgeen recovered the Acts of the blow in the 16th round,
and gave his adVersary a receipt for his hit by flooring him, and
he kept the lead after, occasionally receiving -round hits upon
the left car, which left the marks. Valentine had no alterna-
tive but the role}-poley system, and which, favoured by the
swampy ground, he worked well; but the Umpires at length
decided that he had fallen without a blow, and the Jew was de-
clared the winner.

NEW COINAGE of tirrnixGs.—Much in-
convience is experienced by the lower order
of shopkeepers, arising from the difficulty of
procuring the above coin insufficiently small quan-
tities for their circulation; very many of them
not having it in their power to send so compa-
ratively large a sum as 101. to the Mint; and no
issues are made under that sum.
