RE3IARKS.

A less accomplished fighter than Roche scarcely
ever entered a ring. Independent of being ex-
tremely
slow, he had not an idea of self-defence,
and left himself open to the severe punishment of
Ned. As a wrestler he was far superior to Ned,and
had he been permitted, might have won the fight
by falls alone. Ned soon found out this secret, and
gave him as few opportunities as possible of gratify-
ing his passion. Nothing but the conviction that
Neal meant to rob his friends could have led to the
match; and, front the pains which had been taken to
make it appear that Roche was something extraor-
dinary, his faults, or rather his want of all know-
ledge of the fistic art, became the more glaring. We
hope the poor fellow will be paid for his trouble; al-
though we apprehend his Honourable and Right
Hon. Friends have been completely cleaned out.
It was worth a Jew's eye to twig their phisoas as
they retired from the field of battle; and no doubt
they were not over pleased to hear long odds laid
that the Coroner would sit on three or four of their
corpuses before they left the town of Godalming.—
Poor Roche, the unfortunate tool in this affair, is
really to be pitied, and certainly showed himself a
brave man.

Neal resumed his post on the coach-box, and the
horses' heads were immediately decorated with blue
and white artificial flowers, the bugles playing " See,
the conquering hero comes."
Harry Holt will take his benefit to-morrow at the
Tennis Court, when Neal will certainly shew. Roche
has also promised, if well enough; and his backers
will, of course, come to receive the public congiatula-
tiens. The conduct of Neal, we trust, will lead to
some signal mark of approbation from the Fancy, as
it is only by such means roguery can be banished
from the ring.
The stakes will be given up at Tom Spring's to-
morrow evening, after a sporting dinner, at which
Neal will preside.
