FIGHT BETWEEN BROWN ANI) DOBELL,
FOR TWO HUNDRED POUNDS A-SIDE.

This match, which !its long been talked of in the
sporting circles, although: it bas not produced much
speculation in the betting way, took place yeeteiday at
Crowborougln in the county of Sussex, in a field cid•e to
the road leading from Tunbridge Wells to Lewes, and of
rout se not far frdrn the borders of the county of Kent.
Chailey-common, in the direction of Lewes, was first pro-
posed by Dobell, by whom the toss fur choice was won;
but the Beaks being on the alert, he was obliged to
" mend his call," and hence the ultimate selection which
proved fortunate, as not the slightest interruption took
place. Dobell throughout the latter part of his training,
had fixed his head-quarters at East Grinstead, so that be
was close upon the intended scene of action, while Brown
had to be brought from the neighbourhood of Bridge-
north, from whence he arrived on Friday, and immedi-
ately pitched his tent with Ned Neal, at the Greyhound,
on Streatham-common. The Caine men, it may he recol-
lected, fought before close to Bridgenorth, when Dobell
was beaten ; but as be was then in bad condition, lie fl ,t-
-tered himself in a fresh trial he should be more successful ;
and we understand, from his confidence in his own pow-
ers, " stood" nearly the whole of his hattle-money him-
self. This made bobell's fourth exhibition in the Prize
Ring, having twice, before lie fought Brown, encountered
and defeated a man of the name of Bailey. Brown in a
similar manner completed his fourth display in the regular
arena, having first fought and conquered Tom Shelton,
and being then himself defeated by Philip Sampson.
These " affairs," added to his two fights: with Dobell,
make up the number. As we have already observed
very little betting was observable ; but in general Brown
was the favourite at 7 to 4 and 2 toil.
On Monday Brown, accompanied by his brother, and
some Bridgenorth friends ; Tom Spring and Ned Neal,
set out from Streatham for the Shelley Arms, at Nutley,
close to the residence of Sir John Shelley. In their way
they passed through East Grinstead, where they hail an
interview with Dobell, who was surrounded by hie friends,
and attended by his chosen seconds, Tom Shelton and
Peter Crawley. All was good humour, and each man
seemed confident of the result of the approaching combat,
no doubt booking himself as the victor. The assemblage
at the Shelley Arms was unexpectedly numerous, and the
house having only just got into the possession of Mr. Far-
ranee, the present landlord, who contemplates great im-
provements, but who had not had time to complete them,
the sudden influx of so many guests produced no small
commotion among the household duties. Every effort,
however, way used to meet the demand, and with the ex-
ception of beds, sonic of which were destined to receive
three inmates each, all passed off tolerably well, many con-
soling themselves with the reflection that a fraction of
a bed was better than no bed at all.
The Commissary, Tom Oliver, and his coadjutor Frosty-
faced Fogo, were among the throng at Nutley; and at an
early hour in the morning they commenced forming a ring
on a piece of the forest close at hand, but before they had
completed their labours orders arrived front Dobell to move
to Crowbotough, to which place they proceeded across the
country by a most villainous road, and at the risk of being
scattered like chaff before the wind, which blew a perfect
hurricane; indeed, poor Fogo at one time trembled for his
logs, which, he said, " he every moment expected would
have been blown into the air, leaving him hanging to his
drug like a skeleton upon a gibbet." Having been tied
on to the stakes, however, he arrived safely at the scene
of action, and, with the Commissary, lost no time in go-

ing to work.
In the interim Dobell with his cortege, embracing two
earriages and four, and sundry chaises and pairs, gigs, '
horsemen, &c. started from East Grinstead, and paved the
Shelley Arms, at Nutley, at a rapid pace, being obliged to
take a circuitous route through Maresfield and Uckfield,
to get into the Crowborough-road. Brown's party were
soon in their rear, their carriages being all prepared for
the start; and in point of respectability of "turn out," be-
ing much upon a par. The Dobellites, however, having
the start by some minutes, reached the scene of action
first ; and it being then close upon one o'clock, proceeded
to the ring, which was not yet complete. Brown not
having then arrived, and one o'clock having passed, Do-
bell's party were at once for claiming forfeit, and "to this
intent" spoke ; but at five minutes after that time, Brown
and Spring were within the still incomplete arena; and
having attributed their deliy to the sudden move which
had taken place, and their ignorance of the precise place of
meeting, the contemplated wrangle was avoided, and Do-
bell agreed to wave the " chance" which was thrown in
his way, and to proceed to action. The inner ring was
now finished, and the outer circle enlarged. The assem-
blage was numerous, and among the multitude were many
amateurs of respectability. The storm at this time raged
with unabated fury, and the stakes having been pitched on
a hill for the advantage of a very good gate, the crowd
and the combatants were exposed to its utmost severity.
The consequence was that casters, fogies, and umbrellas
were seen driving across the Heath in all directions—their
owners in full chase—while those who were preserved
from these casualties were only secure by the aid of cords,
straps, and hsruskerzhiefs, which were so applied as to
resist the passing blasts.
The usual preliminaries of choosing umpires andVeferees
were now arranged, and the men peeled for action—
Brown attended by. Spring and Tom Oliver, and Dobell
by Peter Crawle) and Tom Shelton. The toss for choice
of position, if any could be made 'in the disturbed state of
the elements, was won by Spring ; but he agreed'to place
the men across the wind, so that no advantage was gained
on either side.
Precisely at nineteen minutes to two o'clock both were
naked to their waist.; and their hides were at once exposed
to the merciless visitations of " rude Boreal.," which were
sufficiently fierce to make the gazing throng tremble in
their warmest wrapping. To.do the combatants justice,
however, neither seemed to shrink from this hardship, and
they came to the scratch regardless of every thing but the
approlching struggle. Jit„point of condition they were
much better that at theirfaV meetinv, Dobell looking much
lighter in weight and firmer in flesh, but still too much
a la Bacchus to suit our notions of the necessary activity
for a milling hero. His arms were too short, and, frtm
the fleshiness at his shoulders, he seemed to want that
spring which is essential to effective hitting. Brown was
thin as a greyhound, and had an obvious advantage in
length, while his general appearance showed a freshness and
vigour, which had been mainly promoted by hard- rustic
exercise throughout the whole of his training. At this in=
teresting moment a few of the friends of Dobell readily ac-
cepted some bets at 7 to 4 and 2 to 1.

Tag FIGHT.

Round 1. The men came up cautiously, both cove, ing
their points with judgment, and Brown evidently waiting
fur the attack. Dobell did not keep bins long in sue-
pence, but let fly with his right at the head, which was
prettily stopped. Be then tried his left at the body, but
was again stopped, and Brown jumped away active on his
pins. A long pause ensued, neither making play, but
both receiving strong pepper from Eolus, which imparted
a bluish tint to their mezzards; Dohell once more tried
his left at Brown's body, but was out of distance. Spar-
ring and position changed, when Dobell made a rush and
attempted to catch Brown's right hand with his left,
while he drew back his right to hit, but Brown jumped
back, and the effort was fruitless, as well as injudicious.
Another long sparring bout, of which Doha evidently
got tired, for he dropped his hands end looked
merti-
fled ; but Brown seemed determined to give him the
lead, and wait for his assault. Dobell now put in a
slight body hit with his 1011, while Brown mad:• an
over-handed chop with his right, but nsissed. Dubell
became impatient, and making up his mind to mischief,
tried his one-two; but both were stopped, and Brown
jumped back. Brown now, in turn, made a dart, and
put in his left slightly on Dubell's collar-bone. Do-
bell tried to plant his left and right several tivaes, but
was stopped ;--at length he caught Brown slig•,tly
with his right on the mark ; but the distance was
ill-
judged, and Brown smiled. Long sparring ; Dobell
stopped a well-intentioned ♦isit front Brown's left to his
nob. Again did Dohell drop his arms, as if fatigued at
holding them up so long, for 15 minutes lied now expired.
" Go in, and get to work," cried Dobell's friends, and,
after a pause, he followed their advice; he rushed to a
rally, and delivered a slight tap on Brown's check with
his right. This produced a quick return from Brown,
who slashed away right and left with great force and
quickness on Dobell's frontispiece, setting his eyes on the
twinkle, and ultimately flooring him on his capac'ons
base.—(Loud shouts from Brown's friends, and 3 to 2
offered in all directions.) The round lasted 17 minutes.
2. Dohell came up considerably flushed in his upper
works, but steady. "In to him," cried Shelton ; and,
obedient to the word of command, he instantly com-
menced operations; but he found the game not so safe :
Brown was ready, and hit away right and left, meeting his
men, as be came in, with sting,ing severity. Dubeil felt
the force of these visitations, and turned his back for a
moment. Brown saw the advantage, end, quick as light-
ning, jumped in, and as Dobell came to the right about,
