THE RING.
MATCH BETWEEN 301 IN MARTIN AND YOUNG DUTCH SAM.
Pursuant to the appointment in the challenge of 11Iar-
tin's hacker, which we published last week, he was ready
last night at Martin's house. At ten o'clock " time" was
called, and shortly afterwards one of Sam's 'friends came
to the scratch and posted a sovereign, which was covered
with suitable despatch. A strong dash of the yellow ones
showed their eahilirating faces in support of the " ould
one," but the other side declined posting more than one.
The conditions were, that a meeting be held, and a match
made, at Martin's house, on next Tuesday evening, for
from 1001. to 500/. a side, or the sovereign down to he
forfeited.

Bishop Sharpe will take the chair on the above night,
and he ready to make a match with any man of 10st, 61h.
for 1001. or 500/. •

place, and now designing in this town, we observe that a
new hackney coach is about being started, by Mr. FuLtra

Our readers will remember that a meeting or
gentlemen connected with the malt trade was recently held
in this town, when it was agreed that a petition shouid be
transmitte.l to Parliament, praying the Legislature to re-
move the disabilities so generally complained of by the
trade. A petition has been prepared, and is already
most respectably signed. It now lies at the George Inu,
in this town; where it is expected to receive numerous ad,.
ditional signatures this day and our next market day; aft,,,
which it will be forwarded to London.—Hull Packet.
