execution, will render the same tar more advantageous to

the Tunnel, for the landing of passengers, &C. to and kola

feet in diameter, in the centre of the Tunnel, to above

FIGHT BETWEEN MARTIN AND DUTCH SAM,

AT KNOWLE-HILL, NEAR MAIDENHEAD, NOV. 4.

This match, looked to with such anxiety by the
public at large and the Fancy in particular, was fixed
to come off to-day. The money (1000 had been
posted with scrupulosity, and.the important toss for
choice of ground decided. Knowle Hill, near Maiden-
head, Bucks, was- fixed on as the arena in which a
" bloody fray" was to be settled with decorum and
honour, superior to that by whiels Chalk Farm has
been so often distinguished.

The betting in London was, on the day before, a
shade in favour of Sam, more, we suppose, from his
youth and good sparring than any other reasons, he
having never done any thing which would class him
in the same rank of boxers as Martin. He had been
training at Staini.s. Martin had been training near
Godalming ; and, on Tuesday last, at his benefit,
declared himself " quite comfortable" with regard to
condition. A stipulation in the articles stated, that
if he exceeded 11 I stor.e in weight on the morning
of fighting he should pay forfeit.
With regard to the circumstances which gave rise
to this match, We know them all ; they are generally
known ; and, however strong the majority of the
Fancy may think and express themsAves on the con-
duct of Sam, we do not consider ourselves, called on
as reporters of what takes place within the ring, to
comment on every outrage of private friendship.
Suffice it to say, that Martin had his energies culled
forth on this occasion to. defenil his character as a
pugilist, and to avenge the deepest injuries as a man;
and we believe that few men ever went into the
ring with the good wishes of the moral part of the
Fancy in a greater degree than Martin.
The Fancy mustered at Maidenhead over night
in stronger number than has ever been witnessed
on such an occasion. _ _

The first party which arrived, however, were
rather surprised at finding the Benifiwes, all, (with a
few exceptions) proclaiming their houses and stables
full. It was at length ascertained that a Rev. Beak
had been exerting his influence, by hinting about
the license-day, and few of the grog-factors thought
it expedient to brave his frown. With such dismal
prospects, the hope of a comfortable mill was out of
the question►, and conjecture was busy in naming the
field of fight. The probabilities were in favour of
going farther from London, and the lads who had
reached their quarters were almost fascinated with
their own good judgment. Reports were flying that
an information had been laid by somebody at Union-
hall, and that the " Philistines were out." The
Fancy, however, were determined to make " the
visit pleasant," and whiffed their weed with stoical
philosophy till the morrow warned them to their dabs.
In the morning the swells and commoners
trundled into the town in rare style, and presented
a stronger muster than has been witnessed at any
fight for a long time past. Sam arrived over night,
and quartered himself at the Bear. Martin arrived the
day before at the Castle, on the Reeding road.
He looked us well as his friends could wish him, and
spoke in high terms of the Mandeville family, at the
Red Lion, Milford, where he and Ned Neal had
been training and receiving the treatment which bad
brought him round so well. Both the men seemed
confident, and Sum was 5 or Whs. the heaviest; Martin
weighed barely 11 stone when he went to scale. The
odds before leaving the town were 5 to 4 on Martin,
although they fluctit,ltod considerably.
The prospects then became more enlivening, and
Knowle Hill was again looked to with confide►►ce.
The ring was pitched and the men came in, Sam
entered first, and was soon ready with his yellow
(ogle, and Jack quickly followed with his true
blue bird's eye. Spring and Peter Crawley went
in with Martin ; while Dick Curtis and Jem Ward
looked after Sam. Ile looked confident, but
anxious. The ring, though spacious, was well
thronged. When.: Martit► came in, he was greeted
with the loudest cheers. He appeared in high spirits,
and seemed to have no doubt as to the result. He
was taken as a favourite at 6 to 4. Sam went to him
and held out his hand, which Martin shook lightly.—
When stripped, Martin chewed the marks of nu-
merous leeches on his breast. At eleven minutes
past one the men set to.
