BOXING.

Barham Meadow was the seat of action be-
tween Benjamin Coxhead, the Hampshire na-
vigator anti famed wrestler, and Martin Weaver,
the Huntingdon paviour, yesterday morning,
in a roped square of 20 feet, for a stake of 40
guineas and a purse of twenty. Both the men
had signalized themselves by knocking the con.,
reit out of aspiring country lads for milling tame.
The paviour was taken to Weyhill Fair, to fight
a match with one Towers, who paid forfeit, and
he was once disappointed of a turn-op at Mole-
sey. Coxhead is a fine moulded man of much
power, and he had beat opposition hack again to
their own counties at country lairs. H. Owen
seconded the paviour, and Harry Sellers officiated
for Coxhead. In consequence of some opposition,
the ring was removed from Thorney Bucks, to
the place where the battle took place, on the estate
of Weaver's backer, 8 miles from Biggleswade.—
The combat lasted an hour and 10 minutes, in which
39 rounds were fought with much determination.
The combatants turned-to at each other too fast
to last, or to place blows effectually, and in closing,
; Weaver had a specimen of wiestling science, by
a fall enough to smash his boned. In the second
round, Weaver avoided closing as much as possi-
ble ; both fought desperately, and the round
blows told very heavily. • Weaver twice escaped
• from his adversary's clutches, and knocked his
man cleanly down by a full facer.. Both bled
profusely from the nose and ears at meeting in the
third round, which lasted seven minutes at hard.
work, and the heads of each were so exchequered,.
that they fought at random; Coxlread gave his
adversary another heavy fall. The battle was
gamely contested until the thirtieth round, and
With nearly equal advantages. Coxhead had
a decided advantage in throwing, and his right
hand had left punishing marks upon the paviour's
body. Weaver fought with both hands, and had
unmercifully sl►niled his antagonist's bead. Both
were hit to a stand still in the 32d round ; they
went down with loss of wind, and neither could
be brought to time. They were at length got up
again, amid the paviour had the best of the 34111
and 3511) rounds by off fighting. The fight was
won by Coxhead, who threw his adversary a tre-
mendous fall, which knocked the breath out of
him in the 39th round. The Hampshire people
took their man oft its triumph, but the paviour
was carried away senseless.

MILITARY DlSGRACB.—Yesterday morning one
of the Corporals belonging to the Coldstream
Regiment of Guards, for improper conduct in
opening letters which passed through his hands
belonging to his comrades, &c. was drummed
out of the Regiment. A rope, with a noose was
placed round his heck, and he was led between
two drummers, with the rest of the drummers
heating the Rogue's March behind him, in front
of the Regiment, from their barracks in the
Bit dcage Valk to Queen-street Gate, where he
was set about his business. He instantly put
Hunt's colours in his cap, and gave three cheers,
calling out " Hunt for ever," as.
