PANORAMA OF LONDON.

" Six o'CLocK, this period of the year our
Metropolis, its the earliest of the morning, is clouded with a
yellow mist; and at this hour " All's well—Morning," is the
last blast of the watchmen's voices, who -are now going off
duty; debauchees shaking to their homes, and Gaiety, in
splendid equipages, returning from balls, routs, &c. to take
their" night's rest." The !nails and night coaches are rat-
tling in front all parts of the kingdom, driving to and put-
ting up-at -dirty inns, situate in narrow back lanes; no fires
lighted, of room ready for the reception of passengers, no
breakfast prerared, the only. alternative. the half-farnishe
traveller has, is either to retire to a damp. bed, or unchanged
linen thereto, or look on, philosophize, or grumble, while a
fire is being lit. A few hackney coaches are now upon the
stand. Chapel bells are to be beatsl ringing, apparently ei-
ther calling on the devotees of Morpheus to arouse from their
slumbers, and begin their diurnal lab Ours, or for Saints and
Sinners alike to come and pray. As you pass along the streets
you will find mechanics of each description waiting at the en-
trance of the Various manufactories to resume their tasks
your attention from these will frequently be arrested by win-
dow-shutters opening here and there, until it is again avert-
ed by the melancholy cry of the poor chimney-sweeper
(scarcely cloathed), and the goading voice of his master; the
note.of the one will tell you his misery, of the other, his in-
depende-isce or -superiority. -Airthit hour-elores, the cry of
the milk women, and-the clinking of their pails, as they set
them down at the various dpors of their customers, will meet
your ear ; and about. now (7 and eight o'clock) the day
coaches may be seen starting for every town in the British
dominions; at these coaches attend venders of the newspaper
of the morning, and beggars with ballads, pamphlets, &c.;
the horses belonging to the cavalry, Royal Family, and li-
very stables, arc now exercised. The shops are opened, and
in their turns successively, the purveyors of the different ne-
cessaries of life stun your ears, if nigh to them, b,l the shrill-
ness of their cries, in which the Billingsgate fishwornan, and
the gardener with his vegetables, completely defy all compe-
tition ; nevertheless, the snivdling pot-boy, who is now call-
ing.for his master's tankards, borrowed on the previous night
bids fair to vie with either vf them. Matches; wood, sand,
chalk, hearth - stones, brooms, rushes for chair-bottoms, &c
&c. have likewise their Separate advocates. Of these exe-
crable squalls you are no sooner relieved, than, together with
a thundering cart, the dustman's bell rings thrilling ycur head.
The Postmen about now (9 to II) are delivering the Letters
andahe two worlds of St. James's and the City are complete-
ly in the stir ; in the City, rlie Stuck-Exchange presents a
scene of profound calculators, with wary and unwary specu-
hums : admirers of martial music are seeking St. James'.
Parade, to hear the bands of the Coldstream Guards : Bar-
risters and Attornies are basting from the City and the
Temple along the Strand, to the Courts at Westminster. It
is now the time (la o'clock) when the various ariticeis, me-
chanics, clerks, &c. are going to their dinner, and other in-
dividuals to their I H nett . Two o'clock having arrived, car-
riages and hackney coaches may he seen rolling about in all
directions ; some stop at shops, same at private houses, this
being the period of the day fur making or returning calls,
others at pastry-cooks,- ,&c. Hyde Palk is now resorted to, •
arta the Regent's; Bond-street is• lined with gentlemen and
tailors, strutting their hour of Pride away, or ogling women ; •
Long-acre is sought to see " the newly invented carriages,"
whilst St. James's is boasting of its fortunes won and lost.—
Strolling musicians are met in every street, and rare shows of
'all kinds are exhibiting ; the idle and the wealthy have " so
much to do" that: they clan scaecs.)y perform their regular
duties in resorting Co- ,the fashiouable lounges., where the
callous also are to he found, in the Museum, Panoranta, or
Picture Gallery; Soho Bazaar, and the Western Exchange;
while country folks arc visiting the Menageries, and Public
Buildings. During the day funerals, weddings, and proces-
.sions are moving to and fro ; stages gains; out of town, and
coming in front adjacent villages ; waggons with every de-
scription of goods, • and Bench potters with their plated
tickets, are seen carrying ponderous weights upon their
backs, and others dragging their trocks, &c.; and apple-
women with their wheel-barrows force vou from the pave-
ment ; and Jews sod Jewesses with their baskets, thrust you
against the shop-windows. This bustle continues until flee
o'clock, when the Postman's hell is heard iinging, tp an-
nounce that, the Post-offices ate shut, but a penny to hint
with your letter until six o'clock, will save that day's post.
The Lamplighters now display their activity in running their
ladders and lighting the lamps. It is now dinner time, until
sever: o'clock, yet the Houses of Parliament are assembled at
1114 hour, and Members most attend ; after this time the only
cries that molest you, are" the Mutlia Bay with his cracked
hell, and the noisy horns of the Newsmen.and the Gazette,.
and at eight o'cleek the Mails leave London. After dinner,
with the fast:ion:shies, a lounge to the opera,nr either' theatre,
concert, card-party, converzatione, or to all in one evening,
terminates the day's amusement ; and children are enter-
tainer] its a roma, to them mysteriously darkened by gtffla"tt
showmen, exhibiting their figures of mankind, flitting through
the'world in n circle thrown upon a white wall, or sheet'lning
upon it. At nine o'clock the watches are set, and by ten the
• shops are in chief shut up. I close this hasty sketch with
a caution to my countrymen.. During the day two boys fight

BOXING

BETWEEN OLIVER AND SPRING, FOR too GUINEA`
ASIDE; YES I'ERDAY, AT- NE WMAN'S MEADOWS,
- II AYES, MIDDLESEX.

A boxing-match between Oliver and Spring,
f0r,1.00 guineas aside, took place yesterday at
Newrinui's Meadows, 3l ayes, Middlesex. The
fight was to have taken place at Slough ;
,but the
Magistrates took Oliver's word that he would
not fig-lit:there ; and the parties removed to the
above place of meeting, after a second stoppage
by Magisterial authority at Arlington. The'se.:
conds were, Cribb and Painter for. Spring, and
Tom Owen_and Richmond for Oliver.—Guineas
to pounds on Oliver.
_ _

Round I. Spring parried Oliver's left and , right-handed
blows, and Oliver luade play again, and placed a slight his
out of distance, when they closed, and after a s:sort rally both
went down without, any mischief,
2. Oliver made a filint with hi left
.hand to bring his ad-
versary within reach ;'arid SprillC'fighting np.on his superior
length, broke away: •Olivet itiaeini two. but they were
not within executing distance. A close -followed, and Spring
tried to held his man, but Oliver got away,,and, in maknig
sally, he was knocked down cleanly by a flush hit on the
mouth. Oliver gathered himself up wit lona the aid of his
seconds, instantaneously, sod by its smile seemed to hold the
event in disdain.
• 3. ThiS round spewed the coolness with which the men
fought; in placing their feet, by which boxers measure their
distance, as the eye must lie axed import the adversary's eye,
Oliver stepped on Spring's toe, and feeling. that he had dime
so, politely begged his pardon. Oliver' made a scientific
parry of Spring's left hand. In a rally, Spring drew the first
apparent claret front his adversary's month, and threw
No betting.
-4. Oliver made a left handed hit, Which Spring got cleverly
away from, and Oliver's right hand also fell short, Meer
placed a blow upon his adversary's head,• and threw him in a
close.—Betting about 6 to 4 on-Spring.
5. Both threw away many blows, and it was evident 014
Oliver had not length sufficient to place his hits. Spring got
his adversary's bead under his left arm, but the weaving sys
tens was upon an equality,—Oliver was (brown.
6. Spring had, all the best of this round ; het hit his ad-
versary twice upon the head, and Oliver had not length
enough to return, and he was thrown a Sin.
7. Oliver made a rush, but be failed, and Spring hit him
heavily upon the neck and threw hint a severe fall, • which
knocked the senses out of him, and which be never recovered
during the fight. Owen, his second, rallied him
hollow, Tom, what's the matte', are you going to sleep?"
It's true he was in real sleep, but the sound roused him.

8. Oliver went in with desperatoni and had the beat of
.a
good rallying round, but bis blows• were not sts ong enough, to
mark his adversary's face, and he was thrown. Oliver was
much exhausted, and, without accident, Spring had secured
the battle to a certainty.-- It was all the town to Milk-street.
9. Oliver fought most gallantly, and had none the'worst of
the first patt of the round r he placed three blows, but still
left no mark, and ho was again thrown.
10. After placing a weak left-handed hit, Oliver was floored
cleanly and deluged in claret. It was altogether a bruwa suit
for him. The hit cut him under the eye.

11, 12, and 13. There was nothing to observe upon, Oliver
was beat, and he e/ctierienced fall; enough to smash the
hardiest in these rounds.

14. This was a manly round, and Oliver tried mlSt fear-
lessly to place his blows, but Spring got his head under his
arm, and smashed it with such lounging hits at the weav-
ing system, that it was a contused mass of crimson hue, and
he received heavily also upon the holy, and fell as a man
would front a shot in the right place.
14. Oliver again displayed -the most daring courage, .hut
Spring had reduced his strength to bakyis ft; anal he again
weaved him. at the nit, es ,utt!il Mixer's backers called out, in
the language of Shakspeare, " Irlold, enough !" take him
away.
15, 16, and 17. The amateur could only feel pity for the van-
qnished courage of Oliver. who persisted in his daring resolit-
tion. He continned to stand up, or was rather led up to the
scratch, reeling like a drunkard who had swallowed a conple
of quarts of Dimly's vri ntros- 2, amidst the calls of take him
away, until the end the 9.3 d round, when he (meanie quite
lust, and his second said " Enough for him."

. Spring won the battle without a visible hit.—
We do not recollect so many of the Nobility and
Gentry being present for years.
