FIGHTS AT MITCHAM COMMON, SURREY.
Yesterday tke match for fifty sovereigns, between Seabrook (a
man well known at the Fives' Court) and Russee, a shots, and a
pupil of Chelsea Reid, was fought in the presence of a fine field of
sportsmen. Monkey Horst was first named for the Aceldema ;
but by virtue and authority,of a tasteku Kingston Magistrate, tke
villagers of Hampton were again disappointed of their regiears.
The men set-to at one o'clock, and fought a very tidy utimuzallng
battle. Harry Holt and Calais seconded Seabrook; and AbY &-
lase° and his friend acted for the other. 4;
In the first round the mawleys went merrily to work. Smart
hitting; in a game rally, Butsee's left hand drew claret frtely from
1 the osfrowlis. In a struggle both were iloored, Seabrook lender.
2. A smart round in favour of Messer, who outfought his adver-
sary, and proved again and again that the gift of adminittfting with
the left hand at the head beats that of the right at hitting out. The
fight seemed to be going all one way, as Seabrook vess fighting,
bleeding, and fuming, as if breath had dorsed him at the end or
each round, for the will and testimony of the last, the cobbler's
shop, &c. to the next inheritor for glory.
A description of the other rounds until the 13th and last round,
would be dull, tame, and uninteresting. Seabrook, who had be-
fore the highest reputation as a gatae man, fought ender very disad-
vantageous circumstances; but Lice an English frate to an enemy's
man of war, he furnished his antagonist with a hit which gained
him the victory the brave so well deserve. Seabeock, with a gi.wd
right-handed blow, which tells in truth, beat his adversary out of
time, by a chattering hit upon the left temple,.
Moses, a little Jew, beat a Christian in a very merry fight.

Bolton and Leeson, the two convicts under sentence of
death in Horsham jail for horse-stealing, arc revited for a week.
