Sat of Ms back a heavy fail. ?to4 on Sampson.
4. Sem came utdeternained to lose no time, and went in to ad-
minister pepper, but Sampson was on the scientific tack—stopped

his cork drawn in fresh places, espeaially under his left eye, and
was at length hit down cleverly. Ten to five on Sampson.
S. Josh exclaimed, on Sampson's coming to the scratch, that he
had hit his own finger nut of joint in the last round, but that he bad

Sampson's caution, and at last received two severe facets—turned
round, and fell on his frontispiece.
7. It was now seen that Jean's style was anything but cadent.
There was no bustle; nothing which touid shake Sami,,oti's
bellows. More sparring and caution on both sides. while the 1,l •nd
from Jem's forehead nearly filled his tight eye. Cho left eye con-
tinued to bleed also. Six and twenty minutes had new elapsed,
and some Impatience was manifested by the spectators. Jens's
right was cleverly stopped, and u a return Sampson jobbed hitn
cleverly with his left on der note, , and pat sway.—(Cheers for
13 ~ ). More caution. Sem then rushed to hit with his right,
betisCpson got away. 'A rally followed, in which Sampson had
the hest of it, and again caught Jena, under as be Cattle in : Jean
' down, and Sampson scarce 'hewed a mark.
S. Jem, on coming rap, skewed another cut under his loft eye,
Which bled profusely ; Jun all caution, and no desire to go in ;
Sampson, equally careful, would not follow, but husbanded .his
strength 'with the ecnaionly. of an old soldier; Sampson put in a
leader on Inn's :Maker, Which brought him to a rally, and in the
end he floored Sampson with a body blow (Loud shouts for Jena,
and cries of " It's.all polar own").
9. Sampson came up as steady as ever, and both sparred for
wind; Sampson jobbed Jem over the left" eye with his right fist,
and got away (" That's the way to win it," cried Josh). Sonw good
stops on both sides, and Jem yet fresh, though disfigured, exchanged
nobbers—some hitting on both sides, and getting away, but Jem
not judge his distance well, and his blows did not tell. Samerou
ought Jem on the head, and dropped him.-4 to lon Sampson.
10. Sampson cattle tat as fresh as ever, after 48 minutes fig

jobbed Sampson cleverly on the nozzle, and got away (" Aone,
Jean !") A long pause—Sampson cool and steady ; stopping well
on both sides; Jem put in right and left on Sampson's head, and
napped similar compliments in return. Sampson was then going in
to punish, but Jem went down ; Sampson sashed, and Jan's chance
was fast going.
11. Jem's right eye bad now nearly shut up shop.; he put up his
hand to wipe it, when Sampson let fly with his left, but Jem, as
as quick lightning, stopped the visit (Shouts of applause). Sampson
gathered himself for mischief and went in to deliver. Jens stopped
weU at first, but ultimately received right and left. In going in to
return, Sampson again caught him under, and hit him dreadfully
on the month and now.—Jens was floored as if shot.
12. Jean's left eye fast closing, and his fate greatly disfigured
Some good counter.hittbag. Sampson went to work with vigour,
caught peat Jem right and left on each side of the head, and threw
10a heavily.
IS. The coolness and steadiness with which Sampson fought ex-
eked general admiration, and his judgment was equal to his cool
foss. Jem cants up as game as tile*, but his style of hitting was
not effective, his distentes were ill-judged, and-he did no ininhief.
Jem came in and hit, but Sieve= countered cleverly, and, left his
mark. Jean now closed, and first determined struggle at the
ropes took place, during *MAO Sampson fibbed, andata • broke

113: Jem, who could scarcely see, and could not be persuaded to
say "enough," came in with a fttaleffqrt, but was again put down.
Uncle Ben now saw there was not a chance, and amidst crime of

Sampson immediately approached his man, who was almost

his post-chaise. Jem was carried out, and was upon the whole
dreidfully punished about the head. There was not a body-blow
of any importance throughout the fight, which lasted an bourand
ten minutes.
Itssamies.—Thus ended this interesting combat, which at least
had the advantage, notwithstanding all that had been said to the
contrary, of being fair and honourable. Burns hitting was not
effectual, and his Judgment, both as to manner and distance, was
bad. Had he Commenced with the same mode that he concluded,
the Issue of the battle might have been different ; but he because
nearly ezhausted and blind before be determined to go in. Samp-
son adopted quite a new style of fighting, and by his temper and
caution, made his victory easy. In fact, from the first, the chances
were all the one way; and Sampson, when it was seen that he
meant right, was the decided favourite. Poor Uncle Ben was
deeply chap-fallen ; but it was imponible to say his nephew had
not dose hit Sen. It is said that Jem acted by the advice it Ms
minds in not going in at first ; and his Uncle says, if he had fought
teas on the stand r, he would have woo the battle.
"There Was to have been a second tight, between Untie Bs*, and
/IMO Robin, but the former forfeited the trifling stakes which
seen down ; and was teo much mortified at bit nephew's ill-luck
t* try his own.
