The coital which has heel; fo anciently expell-
ed, between the Okhos and dullty, took place on
Tuefday.
It will be remembered that thefe two champions
wete to have jtifted at Blackwater, in Hants, on the
soth July left, but thoufarlds of the public were dif-
appointed, and the tournameht drat adjourned till the
prefent month, pay or play. The Rake was no mean
one—fix hundred pounds toloer hundreds, was the
fum for which thefe rivals contended, and the
current betting was regulated by proportionate odds
in favour of the Chicken, though Come of his friends
•
uazarded two to one. During the lag week aniiety
was on the (retch in town end country, with refer
ence to the ifrue ef this famous Combat Thofe ad-
mirers and amateurs of the fiftic lift, who were en-
abled to raife a circulating mediutis, left the Metro•
polis on Saturday and Sunday in caves, and ;he
field was crowded with fpeaators all parts of
the adjacent country.
IC we trace the hißory of pugilifm, it will be found
that whenever a hero has entitled himfelf to be de•
nominated the champion of the day, another has
(prong up to difpute his claim. The Chicken, it
was well known, had fought three vi&orious battles
within a &oft period, and Ms fame was fo bruited
abroad, that by univerfal eon, he acquired the
merit and proud title of the Champion of England.
Enemies, jealous of his honours, pretended that his
prior battles had been fought with mere Tyros in the
Icience of pumlifm. Be it Co—the inference could only
be affirmed from his having uniformly conquered his
opponents without even a feratched face, or the
(lighten broffe. Doubtlefs, as he himfelf exprefles it,
rather with more energy than elegance, he could,
without dilficeity. " sod the three men, one after the
other." The Chicken leldom hits with his left hand,
but he ufes it expertly in flopping, while he throws
in, with his right, blows as forcible as thofe of MtLo
the Crotonian, and equally capable of felling an oz.
Gulley is but little known to the Londoners. He
never before fignalized himfelf in any pitched battle
for a large fum. Soon after the Chicken had beat
his bell man (Cart), frx months fence, no one could
be fOund who would venture to oppofc him. An
, amateur of the fir(note a hiecenas of the art,
I learnt that Gulley had been the terror of the fight,.

for a (um exceeding tool. his ranfom was obtained
en condition that he would pledge his gauntlet ageing'.
the Gans Chicken. He is much fuch a made man as,
Bekher, but somewhat taller and longer reached.—
In point of mulcular appearance, an accurate judge
would not contemplate him as a man can in the pre
.fife mould for fighting. He was no ways dilheart-
used by the refleaion of his entagonift's celebrity...

A fithferiptioa was fet en foot for Gulley by Mr.i.
which was liberally fupported by the Noblemen and
Gentlemen in the ring.
Gulley was every thing that has been Paid of him:
—Against any other man bet the Chicken he mull
' have gained a conqueß off hand. He fights without
fear, and his blows are fuch as lean evident matlSs
behind. He, howeve-, ufes his left hand but fel-
dom, for if he could perform with it equal to his
opponent, he might with fafety bid him defiance.--
He has Ramped his fame, and is a match fur any
other bruifer. It would be needlefs for us to. corn-
meat on the skill and death-like blows of the Chicken.
He has but one more conqueft to gain, when he may
defy any challenge. Belcher is to fight him within
two months for soo guineas, play or pay, so guineas
forfeit.

At the eonclufion of the fight, the Chicken came
up to Gulley, who was held up by his friends, hook
him by the hand, and Paid—" You're a damn'd good
fellow-1 am bard to it to Band—You're the on- .
ly man that ever feed # to me."
A fecond battle for ss guineas was fought between
Crib and Richmond the Black. It would be infipid
for
if
to enter into particulars refpeaing this fight,
which, f it may be fo called, tailed near an hour and
a half. It was altogether tirefome I the Black danced
about the ring, fell down, &c. while Crib, through
fear, or tome other motive, declined going in, and
beating him off hand. It was altogether an unequal
match, and an interval of so minutes together
elapfed without a blow of any confequence being
firuck. Cub beat him without a hurt. The bufinefs
of the day was not over till near five o'clock in the
evening.
The company was of the better order, and not mo-
Idled by the rabble who frequent the fights nearer to
town.
Amongft the company prefent were Tome of the

PUGILISM PROHISITI,D.EItIIIet of a letter from
Glouceller, dated October the 7th : 44 An attempt
has been made to introduce the &liege cußom of
price fighting into this neighbourhood. A match
was made at Tewkethury Races, between William
Perkins, of Warrington, in the County of Worceller.
and Charles Ballinger, of Cheltenham, two celebrated
champions. The Swan, at Staunton, was fixed for the
place of meeting, on Wednefday laR ; but the Rev.
Ms. Cott 14 a LIME. one of our Magiftrates, immediately
interpofed his authority, and prevented it. The con-
cootie, confuting of upwards of aOOO people, many
of whom had come a very confiderable &Rance, then
proceeded to Little London, in Herefordatire. Intel-
ligence of the tumult having been communicated to
the Rev. Dr. Yarn, a Magillrate, he inßantly pro.
ceedcd alone to the (pot, :here not being time to col.
lea peace officers ; he could not reach it, however,
before the combat had begun : but he waled into
the field, and with great perfonal Mk took Perkins
out of the ring to his own honk. and bound him
over to keep the peace; when the fpeaators gradual-
ly difperfed, uttering their dircontent in the mai op-

The abundance of wafps this year is almoß unpre-
cedented, and their rapacity, in the following ;offen-
ces (though Brialy true) is hardly to be credited :
A hogfbead of fugar, that had been lying for fame
time on Blake's wharf, Reading, was obferved to be
much frequented by their vifits, was weighed when
delivered to the owner, and it was clearly afcertained
that 1341 b. bad been devoured by thefe inlets. Ano-
ther hogthead, that lay there only four- days, was
robbed of 421 b. by the fame victors. The (warms
that were smelled to the wharf by the fugar, ren-
dered it very inconvenient for perfoas to pals.
On Friday the body of a newborn infant was
found in a privy in Maudlies-rents,Nightingale•lane,
the offspring of a young woman, who is fent to the

An infant male child, apparently not more than
two days old, was fecretly conveyed into the fhop of
Mr. Silvanus James, of Redruth, in the evening of
Friday fe'nniet. It was afleep, carefully wrapped
in woollen, with the following letter :
" To Silvanos James."
ig Friends—Take under your protettion this little
helplefs infant, and thew more humanity to it than
its unfortunate parents have been able to do. It
may be thought illegitimate ; but 'tis not ; though
its Birth mutt remain a ferret for tome time. It.
rank is not mean; but it does not fignify how meanly
it is cloathed,ki that its health and morals are taken
care of. Its mother is a pad, but its father is not.
Be kind to this poor infant. Probably you may not
be a lofer by it, when its parent is of age. And

and addreffed the Houle as follows :

Lull night the Comedy of The Comfit:, Couple, with
pretnatuse criticifms on which the public has been
lately much amufed, was really performed at this
Theatre. The Sir Harry frildair of Mr. EsrtsroN,
though not altogether according with our ideas of
the eharaeler, as delineated by the mellow pencil of
Faito.yrf AR, we are happy to fee, at length, rattled
from the feeble hands of feminine pretenfion, in
which it furmea ly, and for fome years foffered, by a
fort of prefcrimive Rage right. The allor of yef-

part ; but it wanted that external polilh which even
coxcombs are allowed to potfefs who move in the
circle of high life, though they may not be able to
Strome the manners of more accompliflied gentle-
men. Mr. BARRYMORI in Colonel Standard migbt be
fetid, in the language of the parade, " to Rand at
cafe" as it were mechanically ; and in the prefent
Rate of the Rage we do not know who could have
done more for the charafter. Of Mr. BAN wism's
Beau Cfitteber, it may alto be faid, where are we to
look for a. fubllitute ? The (ketch was pleafant,
though rather caricatured. The male performers
molt at home in the comedy were Dowroa in Alder
tient Sayrizkr, andastsras in Cfincher, jun. ; but their
sitting Was rather a copy of fomething we had fern
before, than original attempts, particUlarly that of
the former. Mrs. PuivELL's Lady Lars^ a! was very
warmly admired ; and Mifs Mar Low l•iotted, and
indeed Reed, extremely well in Ai...zebra. Upon the
whole, the play was rendered highly entertaining ;
and as a granger, received a hearty welcome .frOnt
a very refpcitiblc, though not a greatly crowded,
audience.

COVENT GAILDEN.
Kt snag's Zarrga was on Monday night productive
of a numerous and refpedable audience. In the few
grand fituations which-he hod for the difplay' of his
powers, he dementirated the efforts of his art. In
tome parts be was veq fine; in others, the apparent
preparation climiniiked the intended theatrical effea.
Taffday night, a numerous audience atfembled, to
witnefs the elude of Mr. COOKE, for the feafon. If
any were attrafted by the hope of a row, they were
Innfl completely difappointed. No apology was•
; but, upon the fcene changing to the Tower,
Mr. Cosics liepped forward in the garb of Rickard..
We never recoiled to have been prefent at a more
flattering receptieur. 'There riot only was not the
flighteft aifappmliation manifetted, but every one

*toted biontell to the utmofl to repay his obligations.
He was in an eirdellent flue of mind 'for the cloacae j

filled, the piece. went off. with .erirt.
Mrs. Summits made her fird appearance . for the
feafon lali night, in the tharaZter of lfabelles. She
was greeted on her entrance with feveral peals of ap-
plaufe. She looks ektremely well. She has increaf-
