BOXING. Al COOMBE WOOD.

A meeting of amateurs took place yesterlay on this
spot, to witness a boxing match betwixt Crockey, a
pi etended sailor. and the elder Lancaster.
We sh ill not attempt to give the roun.'; of a com-
bat which caused disappointment to the ring,
and which is described in a few lines. Crockey rum-
bled his tmagonist in the first five rounditf the cnm.
hat, and had die heir uf it. Lancaster possessed most
science, which he displayed in planting first hits, but
ockey got in and did some execution. He, how.'
ever, glatiAgly exhibited the white feather in the Bth
round, and disappointed the whole ring. He soon
after !legan to sing out for quarters and repeatedly
gave in to his secoods, but not a drop of blind was
sp;lt ditriog the combat : Joe Ward, tired of encou-
ray i rig him to combat, stopped his mouth with a hand.
ketche t, to prevent the %posing parties from hear-
ing " 1 give in." Crockey at length, after rolling
about tear tnenty.four minutes, got up when time
was eAlled, and roll,•;y i•iformed the opposite reconds
he would he d -.I it he would fight any more. The
battle was for a so! sex iption purse.
Afar th.s slisappcieLittent to the amateur!, cH sslts

tame turaed to for a purse of six guiaeas, and made
as gallant a fight as ever was retarded. The names
of those promising lads 1:r the prize ring are Phill.

of scieace, and were nearly equal weight. Saw is

The prosperity of a people, and the strength of a
nation, are proportionate to the number of hands em-
ployed in its support ; but how can a man act well
when deprived of means Such was the case with
Mr. M. Clerkenwell, the excruciating pain in his
stomach, &c. compelled him to give up business, and
retire, withuut the slightest hopes of recovery.—
Strange to recite I a number of animals, in the corm
of young mice, came off by his mouth—two of which
may be seen, with twelve legs each, in Dr. GAND•
uM'S Museum, 74, Long Acre, and 3, Shoreditch,
by whose Worm Medicine Mr. M. is cured. Price

It must be gratifying to the country to hear, that
Dr. Coorsta, M.D. with a Society of eminent Sur.
geons, of thirty years experience in Strictures, De-
bility, &e. have established a Medical Board, (t
whom all cases are referred) at Charlotte-house, Great
Charlotte-street, opposite RowLAND HILL'S Chapel,
Blackfriar's-road, London; where the public are re-
lieved from the most dangerous diseases without con-
finement. The Institution thirsts the attention of
those who may have attempted the cure of themselves,
or who have been so blind and unfortunate as to
consult men ignorant of so important a branch of
the profession, whose improper treatment has mer-
curialized thousands, aad brought many to an un-
timely end; eruptions on the head, face, and body, sore
eyes, throatomutb, and nose, vertigo, noise in theears,
deafness, dimness of sight, often ending in blindness ;
strictures,pains in the head and limbs, frequently mis•
taken forrheumatism ; extreme weakness in the knees,
swelled ankles, with a general debility, &c. are only a
few of the dreadful symptoms which frequentlyappear
years after, and too often embitter the matrimonial
state. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are consulted daily by
all ranks of people, from eight till ten, or by letter, in-
closing a fee (for no others are answered), stating
their case, when medicine and the best advice is sent
to all parts of the kingdom. They also cure the
