BISHOP 'SHARPE AND YOUNG DUTCH SAM.
The interest so peculiar to the nobility and mobility
seemed more than ever to pervade the minds of all chimes
on these important fights, and long before daylight, and
while the pitiless pelting storm fell with Intrelenting fury,
—crowds were pressing forward—the clouds lowered with a
threatening gloom, and every thing seemed dismal ; bat
the 'merry faces and buoyant spirits or both cockneys and
joskins, who. malgre both Magistrates and tread-mills,
seemed determined to carry their purpose, with light
hearts, and in many cases, light pockets. Great feats
were entertained of " a move ;" yet the assemblage was both
numerous and respectable. When the hour of meeting drew
near, Phcebus peeped out with winning smiles, and every
thing gave a prospect of as comfortable a mill. as any
thoroughbred Englishman or Irishman could wish to ,en-
gage in ; all the men came on the ground in canny style;
and the tout ensemble was of the most instructive descrip
tion. Every vehicle for miles round had been engaged for
days before,, and every joskin who could sport a bit of horse
flesh and a pair of shanks was found waiting at his crib,
Scarcely, however, had every thing looked prosperously,
when a very extraordinary affair took place. Sam, front
some unknown cause; refused to fight. Some reported
that he had the lumbago—others that he had no pluck;
and many others uttered suspicions " too numerous to
mention." The company then removed from St.
Albans to the scene of action, No Man's Land,
where a ring was formed which it would be an
`ecstasy to show off in. It was then arranged that
Barney . Aaron and Redman should " lead off," and
every tiling was quickly in readiness: Bishop Sharpe then
threw his hat into the ring; he was attended by his
seconds, Jem Ward and Peter Crawley; he seemed in,
" slap up" condition, and it was the opinion of many that
Sam was afraid of him, but he followed shortly after, with
Dick Curtis and Harry Holt; Sam also seemed in good
I condition, but did not seem to have so much confidence as
1 the other ; two to one was offered against him in many
places ; just, however, as the Bishop was stripping
a Bow-street officer appeared, and stated he had a war-
rant against Sam, and would take him if he saw him strike
a blow. The Bishop was already stripped and waiting,
but Sam would not doff a rag, having the fear of the of-
ficer or 'the Bishop before his eyes. After a great
deal of murmuring, Sam was taken out of the ring,
amidst the hoots and hisses of the multitude, *which

he seemed to -alre with great complacency. The warrant
was signed by Air. Rawlinsen, of Alarylebone, but was not
hacked by a Hertfordshire Magistrate. The univ,:7sal
opinion was, that Sam behave& extremely ill, and there
were none backward in expressing it. Bishop Sharpe then
resumed his togs, and eapress,ll a hope that he should not
be deprived of the stakes, as had repeatedly been the ease
on former occasions. His frieads urged :hat the whole
was a mere shallow device to cover Eam's disinclination to
fight, and to save his backers from the consequences of
their misplaced confidence. It w;11 of course remain with
the stakeholder (Tom Belcher) to act as he thinks proper.
If, in the honest sense of the word, the men were pre-
vented from fighting by magisterial interference, we think
the stakes ought not to be given up; but if the interference
was sought by parties interested, merely for the purpose
of saving their own money, it is a question with us whe-
ther a forfeit ought not to take place, all bets being of
course void. It appeared not a little singular, that
the officers who were engaged in this transaction did
not at once take Sam into custody, as their warrant di-
rected ; but, on the contrary, suffered him to go at large,
and used their own discretion as to the mode in which
they executed the formal order of their superior. In tiffs,
no doubt, they acted advisedly ; and last night at 4,liit
o'clock Sam was taken in custody to Marylebone'Office,
where he was called upon to find bail to keep the peace to-
wards all his Majesty's subjects. Not being prepared with
bail, he was sent to the watch house, there to reflect upon
the adventures of the 'day.
The other men were then called for, and Barney entered
• the ring without any thing being determined about the
other match.

FIGHT BETWEEN BARNEY AARON & REMIAN,

FOR FIFTY 'POUNDS A SIDE.

Barney looked as fresh ma four year old, and stripped well.
he was seconded by Joshua Hudson and Nathan, while Ned
Neal and Jack Randall " looked arter" Redman. The
umpires were named, and the men came to the seratet.—
The odds b and 6 tot on Barney. The colours were tied,

Yellow for Barney and Green for Redman—on coming to
the scratch, the men shook hands and presented imposing
attitudes. Both seemed rather anxious.
Round 1. Redman made a feint, but Barney broke his
ground. After some more sparring, Barney went in left
and right across the ring, and fell by a touch. Barney
chewed first blood.
2. Barney stewed a little blacking under the left eye,
and seemed to have had the worst of the round. Spar-
ring for some minutes, when Redman feinted as before,
but found Barney at his post—(Even betting ou Redman)
Both the men as nearly as possible a match in size. Red-
man wanted to get in, but retreated from a feint of Bar-
ney. Barney put in a body blow, but was severely
punished, and thrown in a rally.
S. Redman quite at home, but rather winded from the
struggle of the last round. Barney biting his lips, seemed
veryjolly, but showed some bruises on his frontispiece.
Long sparring again, when Barney bit out left and right,
but was as cleverly stopped, and both recovered their style
of caution. Barney went in, and after a severe struggle,
' but little hitting, at the ropes, Redman fell on his knee, and
when on his second's knee gave the ,office to his friends
with a smile.
4. Barney seemed very steady, and both men appeared
confident ; Redman's right ogle was rather queer. Bar-
ney rushed in, hut met a most uncompromising rattler on
the mug ; Redman then tried to throw him, but fell
under. _ .

5. Both men kept their arms up well, and Barney made
a feint, hut the other went to work, and some desperate
counters were the result, till Redman fell. In this round
Redtnan gave an invidious poke into the ribs of the Jew,

Barney then went to work, and after giving one noser and
some scrambling, left Redman on the ground, who
jumped up like a kitten.
7. Thirty-eight .minutes had now elapsed, and very little
mischief done. Both men seemed to have all their self-pos-
session—and smiled with " all the sweetness of the Devil."
Both as lively as crickets. Barney put his left in, and
reached the ra"•k. Redman jobbed with his left, but
after more sparring, Redman went to work and gave some
tremendous jobs with his loft, and ultimately threw Barney
like a child. (The Greenites in extacy.)
8. Barney boring in, but Redman retreating to all
parts of the ring, and, in a scramble, Barney hit him while
on his knee accidentally, which drew forth cries of " foul,
foul, &c." but decided fair.
9. A rattling round, in which after great punishment
on both sides, Redman drew him over his head.
10. A terrible round, in which both went to work, and
after " rum ones various," both went down.
11. Barney led with a sharp bodier, and thee hit tbs
