THE YIGHT.

The character of the contest throughout was almost
without variety—being invariably in favour of Jones, who
jobbed hie man at pleasure, hitting right and left, and
getting away in admirable style, and in the closes throw-
ing his man heavily. The right eye of Savage was closed
as early as the l sth round, but notwithstanding this he
came up manfully and did his best. He was incapable,
however, of planting a single effective blow ; and to the
close of the battle, Jones had scarcely a mark on his face,
although he received a few heavy blows in the body from
Savage's right. In the 37th round, Jones, on coming up,
was a little sick, which gave a momentary gleam of hope
to the friends of Savage, and he was sent in to bustle with
as much vigour as he yet possessed. It was no use, how-
ever—Jones shook off his qualmishness, jobbed him severely,
and dropped him with ease. From henceforth Savage
had not a chance, but such was his determined game that
he would not say " ne ;" nor till the 56th round, when lie
was completely blind of both eyes, could he be induced to
bring his sufferings to a conclusion. It was then seen that he
had not the shadow of a chance, and the hat, as the signal of
victory, was thrown up. The poor fellow was taken from the
sing in a dreadful state, while Jones retired almost as fresh as
he entered it. The fight lasted one hour and 33 minutes, awi
the only surprise felt was, that Jones did not more speedily give
his man the coup de grace ; he fought cautiously, how-
ever, from the first, and seemed resolved not to throw- a
chance away. He was extremely well seconded, and pre-
served his good humour to the last. Savage was also well
supported, but his day is evidently gone by, and he must in
future seek some easier customer than the 'Sailor Boy, who
may now be considered one of the best of the light weights.
His fighting weight was ten stone, while Savage was full a
stone heavier. Jones arrived at the Norfolk Arms last
night, in high spirits; but Savage remained 'at Chertsey,
under medical care. During the fight lie had his right
eye lanced, but this did not reduce the swelling in the slightest
degree. The stopping on both sides was good; but the
readiness and activity of Jones throughout were the theme
of general admiration.

Should Ike Dodd feel iuclined for another experiment,
Jones can be backed against him for 50/.

Boa CASTLES AND PADDY FLYNN.---This is the next
match on the list; it will come off on Wednesday next, and
the last deposit will he made ou the 31st inst. at the Sol's
Arms, Wych-street. Castles is rather the favourite. The
well-known stamina of Flynn places him high in the con-
fidence of his friends.

AcroN AND Nrcirous.—The dispute respectinl; the
stakes on this fight will be decided to-morrow evening, at
the widow Randall's, Chancery-lane.
Faosvr-FACED Foco will take a benefit at the Elope,
Blackmoor-street, this evening, when both the combatants
of yesterday are expected to spar.

DISTRESSING CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Thurs-
day, a man named W. MORRIS, in endeavouring to release
the off-wheel horse, from Mr. HORN'S Worcester coach,
at the Red Lion Inn, Southall, was unfortunately struck
on the forehead by the animal, and killed on the spot. The
poor man has left a widow and two children in a state of
extreme destitution. We understand, that 51. have been
already transmitted front the Bull and Mouth, to the land-
lord of the Red Lion, who is kindly exerting himself to
procure a subscription for the survivors.
THE LATE EARTHQUAKE IN THE SE-
TISER.LANDS.—At Maestricht, a Catholic priest was in the
act of performing the burial service in the public cemetery,
placed on the very line the earthquake most forcibly evin-
ced itself. Alarmed at the unaccountable phenomenon, he
with the mourners, most oncercmoniously left "the dead
to bury the dead," and took to his heels, none of the party
stopping until they had reached the town. At Tongres,
the mass for the dead was saying in th,, anent church of
r but the
of the
people, doors
that oldest city of the Netherlands, and the corpse of a
young woman was lying before the altar, when the coffin
was observed to move upon the tressels, and a moaning
sound was heard to fill the church. Unprepared for such
unusual events, fear got the better of devotion. Without
exclaiming, like the Cornish curate, "let us start fair", the
priest
