WEST'S GALLERY.

This extraordinary Collection of Pictures will, we understand,
be brought to the hammer on Friday, and public expectation is
raised to an intense deify on the ei'easioh, 71ever before was so
superb a collection heard of, whether we took to *lrldy, proice,
sublimity, pathos, or description. Agents from all parts of the
world have already arrived for the express purpose, as we learn,
of making purchases for their respective Courts. The gallery
continues to be crowded, particularly as the admirable catalogue
Raisonne gives eVery it'll and neeessary explanation. Among the
most celebrated pictures we may enumerate ico G 7, d large
Landscape, with his late Majesty hunting, and Windsor Castle
in the distance—full of a fine pastoral feeling ; 85, Moses receiving
the Laws—a sacred and sublime composition, rivalling the picto.
rial designs of Michael Angelo and Raphael ; 94, Death el General
Wolfe—one of the most grandly impressive pictures of the modern
school of design; 101, Battle of La lloguc—a master-piece of art,
varied and spirited in its character, and finely dramatic in its style
and the quality of its execution ; 151, Thetis bringing the Armour
to Achilles—a noble performance, replete with the irtie eleraetts
of poetry and grandeur; 163, Ophelia before the King—a picture
of extraordinary power, pourtraying the opposite feelings of ten-
derness, guilt, and remorse, with a truly magical effect. There
are numerous other master-pieces in the collection. For an ac-
curate notice, we must refer our readers to the catalogue.

FIGHT BETWEEN HARRY JONES AND GEORGE
WATSON, FOR FIFTY POUNDS A-SIDE.

This affair took place yesterday, on Harpeldon Com-
mon, Herts. The weather was delightful, the turf in ex-
cellent order, and the beaks indulgent, so that every thing
combined to render the sport agreeable. The assemblage
of amateurs, too, though not numerous, was highly re-
spectable, anti not less than six carriages and four in " slap
up style" gave unusual splendour to the scene.
Jones trained at Kitt's end, near Barnet, and Watson at
Hendou. Both were in excellent coudition. Watson had
the advantage in height, length, and weight, but Harry
had " the pull" in expel knee and science. The weight of
Watson was 10st. 121 h., that of Jones 10st. 41hs. Jones,
who was taken to the field in a swell drag, drawn by four
greys, was accompanied by his friend Tom Spring, the
worthy host of the Castle Tavern ; while Watson came
forward under the no less favourable auspices of Tom Bel-
cher. Watson is a nephew of Tom Belcher, and is ore
of the Bristol School ; but he never before exhibited in the
Prize Ring—he is a fine young man, and coining front a
good stock, be had his admirers—and there were free
takers of 2 to 1 and ri to 4.

After fighting thirty rounds in thirty-nine minutes, all
in favour.of Ilarry Jones, the Bristol Youth gave in. In
fact he had not a chance during the fight. Jones was as
fresh whe❑ he left off as when be began, and won without
a scratch. Jones has won within the last eleven months
no less than five battles--namely, those with Ned
Stockman, Barney Aaron, Tom Reidie, Frank Redmond,
and Watson.
