Priday, about ten 0'4k:14 a fine deer was*turned otiCof a.
cart for the day's diversion ; the deer took action the Contour. ,
towards Balstrode, but afterwards took to tie right and retuned,
when he fell into the middle of the pack of -houndx, hue he .
darted from among the dogs and made towards the weeds to the
right of„Bulstrode Park, crossed the Uxbridge road, and rut •
with great swiftness to Denham, where he crossed the small
river to the left of Uxbridge; the sportsmen were obliged to
walk along a foot-bridge, leading their horses through the water,
which covered the saddles of many. The deer then took up the
Coihmon towards the ftabbit-warred, through the inclniures to-
wards Harrow, making a double to the right, tvhere he got into
a pond, and kept the hounds off for some time, but nas soon
got out. The deer was at length taken, about two miles Irons

SPARRING.

Yesterday there was a numerous assemblage at the rives
Court, in favour of Randall. Here one of the greatest artists
the kingdom ever knew e.tErd his friends together, to exhibit
those qualifications nature had served him with ; and it was ex-
pected that the fight being off between him and Martin, owing
to the jobbing of Martin's backer, o turn, et the special desire
of the Conintancler.in-Cliief, would have tam-n place. Not so,
thought Martin and his friends: and he said, " I hive 'been
"napped twice by him, and I can throw wen's the main, tread
in the mill as well as anybody, now my hAcker's floored."
The sets-to were indifferent, except that lietween &lace and
Ward (the crosier.) Belasco, from superior science, opposed to
a man a stone and a half above his wee:lhr, chewed that which
convinced the amateurs Ward was a cal or a righier. The littehr
Jew had the best at every turn.
Randall set-to with Harry Holt; here was a sri:ntific display.
Scroggins gave a jolly turn-up, and all seemed satisfied with
the Nonpareil's muster. His foes did not envy him, his friends
caressed him, and so went off the frolic, to the advantage of
one of the greatest phenomena of the day.
BOXING MATCH EXTRAORDINARY.

Yesterday a ludicrous circumsunce took place at the West
End of the Town, between a Carisaision of the first viLter, and
hip coachman, which ended in a pugilistic bout. The drawing-
room, by all accounts, had the appearance of a slaughter-house,
and the only seconds present were my lady and the housekeeper.
The fight originated in the following circumstance :

Coaches having heard something which he thought prejudicial
to his master's character as a Gentleman, felt no hesitation in
charging him with it, little anticipating such a milling; and yes-
terday morning, when he was privately conversing with his lady,
Jarvis, without ceremony, entered the drawing-room, and made
use of the most impertinent language, calling his master a d—d
scoundrel, vagabond, and a blackguard. Such conduct astonished
the master and mistress, and the former requested to know who
was the author of the slander, as he wrauld punish the base in-
ventor. This Coacher refused to tell, and laid his hand on his
master and pushed him away. Such conduct could no longer
be brooked, and the parties set-to. The master, who had not
neglected the science of boxing, had the best of it, and in a short
period the head of the coachman, through fibbing and short hits,
was a mass of cuts and blod. The coachman could not come
to time, and he was bundled out of the room like an ill-bred dog.
Unfortunately the Lady, seeing her lord involved in so disgrace-
ful a scene, fainted. Her husband immediately proceeded to
Marlborough-street Office, when all the officers proceeded and
apprehended Coacher, who went to the Office worse beat• than
any prize-fighter. His master entered into a description of the
battle, and the cause of it, and the prisoner was ordered to find
good bail.
