BOXING AT INIOULSEY lIURST.

A full day's play anticipated - by the rovers in frolic was-yes-
terday realized, with plenty of bye-play. The attraction was
between Sampson, the Birmingham Youth, and Abbot, who
lately beat Oliver.
The seconds were Randall and Tom Jones for Sampson, and
Spring and Shelton for Abbot—betting was 5 to 4 on Sampson.
In the first round, Sampson made the play, but he failed in
placing his straight hits. In a rally both were down.
2. A very gallant fighting round to the adv,ntage of Abbot,
who stood like an oak tree, and received all the punishment
his adversary could give him like a game one. He had the best
of it by throwing his adversary in a trial of strength.—Even on
Abbot.

3. Sampson went in as game as ever the dog Trusty fought
his battles, but he met with a Chalk Farm bred one, who would
not be denied. It was around where mercy had no balance. It
was " You give, and I'll take." Abbot had the best of a ,rery
manly rally, and Sampson received a heavy hit upon the eye in
going down.
4. Abbot began to get sweeter upon himself, finding he could
stop his adversary's flush hitting. A very gay round was fought,
and much earnestness was shewn. Sampson had rather the best
of the hitting, and got the throw.
G. Sampson made the play, and floored his adversary.
6. There was no claret vi-ible in the men, but blue ruin and
Sam's grape was in requisition amongst the partisans. Abbot
had none the worst of the round, although out-fought at in-
fighting, and he was thrown.
7. Abbot had the best of as gallant a fighting round as ever
was seen. Sampson made the play with fine hitting, but Abbot
was the stein English oak tree to knap, and a two-years old to
give, had the best of it, although thrown.-4 to 1 Abbot, and
Randall, in full confidence, took the odds.
8. Sampson in going in, received a severe hit on the left eye,
which chanceried his upper works. It was on the brow, and it
was laid open about six inches by one, depth half an inch. Our
informant thinks the fight was won in this round. It was-evi-
dent that Sampson's fast fighting was put aside, from Abbot
being the best giver and a negative taker.
9. A confirmation of the opinion of the best judges was that
in this round Sampson was hit off hislegs by a tremendous right
handed blow.—The poundage on Abbot.
The fight was protracted to the 32d round, and the gameness
of Sampson often gave it a temporary turn ; he had nearly
closed one of Lis adversary's beads, but there was any thing
but no about him, and he was declared the victor by a flooring
hit in a fight of •17, minutes, when each head come in contact
with a fall from a close and left Sampson deaf to the call
" Time."

kiremendons hail storm cleared the ring, and umbrellas and
dummies flew in all directions.

Lenny and Brown were left fighting.
The lovers of the fancy of Bristol have entered into a sub-
scription to present their native champion, Neate, with a silver
tankard, of the value of twenty-five pounds.—The Gas-light
Alan was on the ground, as cheerful as ever.

The house of Mr. WHEELER, No.' 16, North-
street, Lambeth, was entered by some thieves by
means of picklock keys, between 6 and 8 o'clock
on Sunday evening last, whEn the family were at
chapel. A box, containing a quantity of plate of
considerable value, and another box, contain-
ing title deeds, under which had been deposited
a quantity of severeigns, were stolen. At the time
the robbery was committed,there was property is
the house, to the amount of between 2,0001. and
3,001. On Sunday evening between nine and
ten, as the pot-boy of a publican, who resides
in the Waterloo-road, was going his rounds,
he stumbled over a box which lay in the middle
of one of the new streets in that neighbourhood.
lle took it home; the publican and his wife sus-
specting that there might be a child within it, hesi-
tated to allow him to introduce it. The contents
were however found to be not so formidable as they
consisted of deeds and other parchments. The box
was brought to Union-hall office, at which Mr.
Wheeler attended. lie identified the box and
deeds as his property. It is scarcely necessary
to add, that the sovereigns had been removed.
