6.—Perkins was again closely pressed by the superior
weight of Raines. Much dispute arose.
9.—Perkins yielded once more to the superior weight of
Raines, and fell, when a violent dispute arose, the ring was
broken into, and confusion was the order of the day.
10.—Perkins was again undermost. Reuben Marten
and T. Gaynor had a set-to, when the latter being foully
struck by some unknown hand with a stick, whip-end, or
other unlawful weapon, not recognised by the laws of .pu-
gilism, Harry Jones resumed his original office of second
to Perkins.
I I.—Both combatants closed, though much distressed,
and Perkins again seas undermost.
12.—Perkins met with the same fate again.
13.—Perkins came up cautiously, but hit at Raines very
des erly, who appeared weak also.
14.—Perkins fell again undermost.
15.—Raines hit a body blow.
16.—Perkins fell again.
17.—Raines appeared to be very weak, iu consequence
of which the odds changed again in favour of Perkins.
Ill.—Perkins got from his adversary, but fell in a mo-
ment afterwards.
19.—Perkins again bad the worst of it.
20.—Rdines gave Perkins a body blow, but he rallied
soon, and put his antagonist's eyes into Chancery.
21.—Both parties manifested much weakness. Perkins
again saved himself when his head had been put into Chan-
cery.
22.—Perkins fell again, but with judgment•
23.—Rainea gave Perkins a body blow. Raines again
undermost.
24.--Raines made an attempt, at the head of Perkins,
which was cleverly stopped by the latter, who followed up
his advantages by striking right and left. Raines felt that
he had literally enough, and cried " Enough." Perkins
being unacquainted with the London ring, wanted to jump
over the ropes in token of triumph, but was pulled back by
Harry Jones. He then waved his hands in token of tri-
umph, and ran to his friends as if nothing had happened
besides gaining the day. Throughout the battle there were
many disputes on the part of Raines's friends, who com-
prised the majority of numbers.

RE/tIARKS.

Perkins, alias the Oxfordshire man, is a promising
youth of eighteen, who has never before fought in
the prize ring. He is said to be :descended from
very respectable friends. •

'With his left hand Perkins is a most power ful
hitter; but his right hand is not so adequate to pu
gilistic performances. Still his friends place greaL
hopes in his future fame. Raines's left eye was
completely closed towards the latter end of the battle.
Raines is said- to have been very much neglected
by his backers—so much so, that he arrived the day'
before the fight at Shirley's (New Inn, Egham),
ignorant if he could pay his expences previous to
the fight. He is a powerful man, but not in a con-
dition to fight, owing to neglect in training. Per-
kins will, in time, become a first-rate pugilist, and
is, on that account, patronised by most of the Fancy.
Certainly nothing could have exceeded the gallantry
with which he left the ring, though it had verynigh
lost him his kard-earned victory. At five o'clock
last night he was smoking and drinking at his host's
at the New Inn (Shirley's), whilst Raines was being
conveyed to London, half blind and half dead. The
multitude, however, favoured Raines more than
Perkins. Both men were game, though Raines had
the advantage of having fought in the Prize Ring
before. Most of the individuals belonging to the
Fancy were present, as some heavy matches ap-
peared to be on tke carpet.
In conclusion, we must observe that this fight has
been extremely well-contested on both parts, that
both combatants seem to be really game to the back
bone, having both a competent share of what phre-
nologists call the organ of combativeness, without
which no man can shine either in the Prize Ring or
field of battle • and that Perkins only wants maturity
of age, and Raines, who has only fought with Stock-
man and Gaynor, requires nothing but training and
good backers, as we understand it to be a fact, that
the poor fellow did not know the night before who
would second him or convey him to the ground.
Several disputes arose among the principal men of
the Finley, in consequence of which, Tom Spring,
the Champion of England, felt himself called upon
to crack the thick skull of a sturdy-looking country-
man in a smock frock, besides some other minor ex-
postulations on the road. Philip Sampson is said to
have challenged any man in England for 500/. ; an
offer which remains unaccepted as yet.

The battle between Perkins and Raines lasted
forty-five minutes, during which both received ample
punishment.

1.---Buth men sparred for some time, when
Raines -received a bitivir in the face from Perkins, and
showed the first claret ; but, alfhottgb this round was both
long and well contested, Perkins received a fill,
2.—Raines planted a facer on Perkins, blows were ex-
changed, and cleverly parried on both sides ; but ultimately
Perkins had the misfortune of finding himself undermost.
3.—Raines availed himself of his superior weight, and
closed with Perkins, whom he ultimately threw.
4._—Perkins was thrown, contrary to expectation, when
the odds turned in favour of Raines, and against Perkins, 2
to 1, and even 3 to 1.
s.—Perkins came up, made a hit very cautiously, but
succumbed finally.
6.—Perkins hit hard with his left, got away cleverly,
but at last fell undermost.
7.—Time was called—both parties came too slowly, and
equally languishing. Perkins seemed by no means daunted,
' and hit right and left skilfully, but fell at last undermost

in his Journal, but seeing Major Kx3ir, then Aide-de-
Camp to Sir RALPH Anxac ROMBIE, ride hastily into • the

the division to which he was attached was under `orders
for immediate action. Without waiting to return for bis
papers and his pocket-book, containing between 40/. and
50/. which he had left on the table, he mounted his horse
and in a moment was at full speed. He arrived in time to
place himself at the head of
his company, just before the
commencement of that action in which he was dreadfully
wounded. A considerable time afterwards he revisited
Alkmaar, and calling at .the .inn he had so abruptly left,
received his papers and his !nine, which had been with
scrupiduus honesty preserved.
