AL BOXING.

ttEAT I.3ATTI.E BETWEEN ItA,LPIL IIOSCOE (THE
CHR.4fIIRE CHAMPION) AND PAT M'OEL
Xiss'sdaY, being She, diy appointed for this light, orderi were snit
front bead-quarters, .6 4 o'clock the preceding evening, to start for
Newton Roc r-course.—The moment it was known, some hundreds
starts for the appointed spot —dennets, stanhopes, huggys, hutch. re'
carts, and donkertandems, equestrians on chargers, as differeut
their colours as values, and hats of pedestrians.
On the morning of the fight, the road •hetween Liverpool and
Newton was completely lined, eager to gain a sight of a ona which
had exsiteJ so much interest in this part of.the country. The Com-
missary -Department arrived at tie Course about twelve o'clock,
and commenced staking out the ring; and a little after one Pat
Al' Gee stept out of re post.chaist. intwthe ring, and modestly threw
up his Casitei--(Ch rring). He then returned to.bis carriage with
h.s.second, Tom Reynolds, acid an old friend for bottle-bolder, to
peel for action. Shortly after Boerne made his appearance no a
mutter; with four prime 'prods, and driving close up to tha :ing,
...lighted with his second, Tont Waver, and, for his bottle-holdcr,
person called London Bill, lleicue Walked up to'the ropes and was
loudly cheer. el, and commented stripping. This scene, so pleasing
to the lovers of willing. Was soon clouded by the beak's brother,
who bounced through the crowd up to the ring, and ordered them
ro disperse. After some little attempts at :ODUDOIS, the order was
given for Creston.heatb, about two miles from Warrington. After
sterple-cliase the Heath was gained, and preparations soon made
fur another ring. •
. .
At about ten minutes before four o'clock the set-to commenced,
green colours tied to the stakes for Pat, yllow for Boscoe.
Itound I. Both men came smiling to the scratch, and shook
hands in the most friendly manlier ; their manly countenances
glowed with animation. Boscoe went to -work as if willing to
his job in quick time, and a stuart rally took Sage. rat
floored by a right-handed hit on the kuowledge Was
2. No claret yet ; the butcher again went in to-mill with his
right, but P‘t met Mai on the rush, and diopt him with a chatter-
ing left Gilt hit.
5. l'at met Jam again on the rush, and dreir claret front the
smelting organ in streams; this decided first blood. Bennie go:
Paddy into a rally, and dropt hint by a left-handed bit on the
4• pratte trap"—claret in lots. •
4. 91•Gre had the best of this round, met his man oft the hop,
queered big ivories, and passed him with his left wok".
5. and 6. Mutual &soon given and received.
7. nil, round was nearly fatal to Iti'Dee. Bosco, sprang in and
planted mr dreadful a hit with his eight on Pat's temple, that be
(hopped as if shot-(Roars of applause from the butcher's friend).
'lWenty to one offered, no takers. When time mikrofied, pour
Pat lr•d been an far recovered, by Reynolds's indiciass exertions,
as to be able to stand, but nut to walk; Tom Reynolds in a man-
ner carried him to the scratch. Roscoe rushed in aiidfiaored him.
8. to 13. Reynolds in all these rounds finested as much as he
could, to gain his man time to recover front Mt stupor, for he ap-
peared to fight more from instinct thaa knowledge. It was piteous
to see the brave fellow in such a state, receiving punishment with-
out being able to collect himself sufficiently to retaliate; but still on
the whole he appeared rather better every round, which gave his
friends some small hippos. Tom Oliver, for the' last few' tounde,
had seen the advantages the butcher might obtain by going in to
finish the fight, from the helpless state of the Irishman ; but Boa.
coe had knapt some severe phnishment, and bad by his rushing
mode of fighting, in some degree exhausted his powers, still he was
in a vary different plight to poor AliGoe. Pat, after a short rally,
was looted.

14. APGet, to the astonishment of his friends, shook off the
lethargy which had got him so much punishment. His strength
returned ; he walked up to the scratch quite giy,,but in such a state
as made the. Knights of the Cleaver admire hii fortitude. Paddy
went lively to work, and floored his man. " I shall be all right in
a minute, Toni," said 41/"Gee.
15. Pat sent a left-handed customer to the Butcher's tripe-shop,
that knocked down the stall.

16. Reynolds roared out to his man, " Another such a hit, anti
you will win." Pat again hit the mark, got into a rally, closed, and
both were so exhausted that neithgr could strike or throw, but held
each other for some seconds, their heads resting un each °thee;
shoulders; at last Bosco, dropped down', Pat on him.
17. The blows which Boscoe received on the pit of the stomach,
in the 35th and 16th rounds, had completely doubled him; be ast
on his second's knee as if he had the spasms, and tried to *sulk.—
Reynolds seized the opportunity of a weak moment to ask if he
bad enough ? Oliver said No, and brought his man to the scratch ;
but the smile that had hitherto played on his mug had vuitished,
and after a faint rally and a close, went down easy. d moron his
bottle•holder's knee, the head of &scut begin to urcup. •
From the 18th to the 29th, the description of one round will an-
swer for the whole. I'at M'Oee at the scratch, striving to get a
peep at his man from a small corner of his left eye, and Briscoe
making Isis rush in endeavours to shut up what little day.light
31`liee had left; a rally and a close, and she Butcher striving to fall
on the ground for fear of Pat's cross-buttock.
30. Time was precious, fur Pat's daylight was so bad as merely
to enable hint to discern a confused sight of the object before him.
Pat gave his man a clean cross-buttock, and fell on him so heavily,
that Oliver picked hint up almost liteless.
31. Reynolds hurried his man in, and told him to take-Bascoe
just such another journey ; but the Butcher did not relish such
fraternal hug, and struggled- hard to get to the
.groutiti, without
having a Mullingar hoist into the bargain. He succeeded.
• 32. This was a critical petiod of the fight ; IsPlitee's eyes were
now all but closed, and he.could do little more than feel fur his
man. Boscoe had still both his eyes open, bias was weak tront
body hits, and not so strong as Par. A short rally, both down.
33. The anxiety of the seconds on both sides, was visible to the
most indifferent spectator; but Pat hit again at the victuailing of.
fice, and after a short rally, Boscoe went down, Pat uppermost.
This finished the fight.
Reynolds seized London Bill's hat, and threw it up in the air ;
shouts, that rent the skies, issued from the broad-shouldered coves,
and in two seconds the ring was a forest of black thorn.
Boscoe, within the last five years, has fought a number of battles,
some for prizes—one he fought and won, with one of his hands
tied to his breast ; but his late contest with Jack Morrice fur 20
pounds a-side, gave his friends so much confidence in his milling
powers, that they offered to back him against Langan; but the
Irish Champion took no notice of the invitation. This conduct
gave the Liverpool butchers the grin on the Paddies, and a few of
the National Boys felt `rather sore.
About twelve months since, Reynolds, on his way to Dublin,
fell in company with McGee, and the next day gave him a lesson
in the pugilistic art, This set poor Pat mad to be a boxer. Ma-
sons' work no longer bad charms for his aspiring soul, and chop-
ping living blocks he thought more desirable than chopping blocks
of atone. Having expressed a wish to enter the ring.. be was asked
if he would fight Boscoe? With all my heart, says Pat. • march.
was made for 231. a-side ; and almost any odds might have been
got against M‘Gee, but two and three to one was common betting.
After this description of the fight, it will he seen that l'at is one of
the bravest of the brave. The tight lasted 31 minutes 50 seconds.
A manly battle, in which courage made tip for science, took plae-
on Thursday, in a ten acre field, of Mr. Dyson, between the Hare
row and the Uxbridge roads, seven miles front I.optlOn. It was
for ten sovereigns; and the combatants were Deacon, a wheeler,
and Joe Smith, au athletic flue:faker, once a pitpil oC Paddington
Jones.
At the -set.to both turned to work ; bat they granted a little of
the rough edge taken off their gaiety; and the Arai three rounds
consisted chiefly in throwing, and no claret was visible.
4. The combatants drew each other's corks in casual counter hits,
and both dropped their claret gaily. Both were hit from the scratch,
but they made up to ft again, and exchanged severe blows. Deacon
was floored by a slit on the nose.
5 and 6. The same determined fighting, and neither would go
down until compelled. Smith was thrown heavily in both rouser.
7. Both tired, the pipe!' at work; bleeding nubs and swollen fea-
tures made pretty figures of them and our correspondent thought
Joe was getting leafy, and that he had got into a toal suit ; but it
was not so; he was lopsided by a blow on the t,bs, aiJ la.act.o
,gave hint one on the side of the nob; but it wa-, too hard, and Joe
was knocked over, and he then must have been c:tistied that he had
got into queerish hands, but there was no denial about him.
8. Joe made the play -and placed left and right hits on the body
.and on the temple, which took away some of Deacon's jollity and
floored hint.
JZ,e led in the two nexCrounds, and then it wrs no go any further.
,y Deacon got stronger, and won the battle by flooring his adversary.!
