- AP*NCVIt AND WYNNE& .
„Isai erla4ress: are of 'wetemporary matter obliged ui, yesterday,:
ittgive only a brief notice o[ the amend fiiht at Virginia Water. The
following is* detailed account of the battle]: -
The second tight bet!sraen these men was not less interesting thall
the first, although the. emispethon were of second-rate eonsequeoest.
•Wynnes is a fine active young fellow, find comes from the Bristol
apilscsol. He has fought, several minor battlei, and having studied
impression, has acquired a competent knowledge of science...l.:
.4smeer, who is a butcher by trade, is much older than Wynnes,'
may be considered as Oak. He Is, however, a good bottomed
num, fearless in the outset, and a perfect glutton at receiving. lis
iperson and appeaVance be approaches very near to Dutch Sam;'
his weight appeared to as to be greater than that of Wynnes.
On entering gas ring the conditiokpf W.ynnes was V•erY fine.
Western and Stockman waited on Wynnes; and Cs:llas and Gypiey
Cooper officiated fur the Butcher.

• THE FIGHT. • • •
At a quarter to three the men shook hands, and the ring was
husked in silence. Mr. Jackson and a long list of Corinthians re-
mained on the ground, and from the exertions of the fighting men
good order was preserved. • .
found 1. The position of Wynnes was cautious and shy, Spencer,
was all boldness and nerve, anxious for work. Alter some sparring,'
Sp broke ground, and let fly with his right, but Wynne;,
jumped away, dancingtnauer-like. Spencer his;, short at the body,•
lost Wynnes again pirouetted. At last Spencer rushed in, and catch-
big Wynnes round the neck, fibbed away like a new. one. Wynnes:
" wouldn't stand thatere," but extricating himself, he succeeded in.
catching SPencer's nob under his arm, and turning the tables, fibbed
bis frontispiece for some time. Spetacer at last screwed his nob,
front the *ice and dropped. . Not much nrilscipef done.
2. Manoeuvring for some time. Wynnes no desire fpr close play.
" Go to work, cried the impatient ones ; but nearly four minutes
passed without an. opening. Wynnes letotu with his right at Spen-:
cer's body, and closed. Both down..Wynnes fell over, the ropes.
5. Spencer hit short at Wynne, body. Tiresome sparring—no.
fighting. Wynne, slipped down without a hit. . ,
4. Some impatience was manifested at Wynnes' over-caution.
but it was now clear he meant to beat his "nap by tiring him out.
Spencer was well covered, but after a feint, Wynnes !tubbed hint
on the illock. 'Spencer rushed in to return, when Wynne' caught
his head again under his arm, and after a violent struggle at the
ropes, Spencer threw him ckveriy.—(Shouts from the East-en'elers).
5. Spencet, all alive, put in a pozer on Wynnes' canister. The
latter countered, and a good rally followed. , Wynnes stewed his
activity, and Spencer worked with vigour. Spencer hit Wyman a
" rum on" on the crew, and the latter returned on the nob. Wynnes
rushed in to a close, and drove Spencer with his back to the ropes.
Spencer fell over Sid Wynnes on him.
6. Wynnes sheaved the claret on his oration trap, but not discou-
raged, he hit the butcher with his left on the right ogle, (" Twinkle
' mel" cried a Whitechapeler, that's no joke !") Spencer rushed
for a close,.but Wynnes was active on his pins, and once more im-
pounded his noddle under his right wing, fibbing him with his left.
Spencer sheaved great strength, broke away, and threw his man.
7. On coming to the scratch Spencer's upper works were da-
maged ; his left eye-brow wanted a stitch to keep in the gravy, but
he proved himself a prime old trump, and a tough one to cut up. A
long spar for wind. A close and both down, Spencer under.
8. Wynnes merry on his trotters, played about the butcher like
a cur at a bull. Spencer was not pleased, and eyed him with dis-
satisfaction. At last be pinked Spencer on the horn with his left,
and got away. He was again at him, and popped in two more
nobbers, jumping away as be hit. Spencer bleeding from his
grindesacase. A good rally followed, and Spencer did great execu-
liNt& and floored his man (shouts from the carcase venders.)
9. It was clear that Wynnes was too quick for Spencer, but still
the latter fought well, and courageously, and when he hit, it Was
'first cousin to the kick from an ox. Spencer took the lead, and hit
away with spirit. Wynnes stopped well, and was stopped in turn.
Spencer was nutting in to smash, but Wynne. was shy, and went
down with " No, i thank ye." [He's a cautious one, cried the
kiddies • but the butchers warn'! pleased.]
10. *vines still on the stand off, but Spencer would not be
denied, and went in and delivered on the knowledge box. Wynnes
countered, and an excellent rally followed. In a close, Wynne,
once more caught Spencer under Ids arm, and fibbed him in the
chops. The old one had a turn the same way, and " amends to
mend" was the order of the day. In a struggle for the fall, both'
down. Spencer under.
11. This was a slaughtering round, and severe hitting on both
sides, but Spencer was second best. Still be fought with vigour,
and delighted his friends. Wynnes at last went down to avoid.
12. Wynnes still getting away;-[" Go into him, Spencer," cried
the knifeman, "and touch him in the sticking place."]—Spencer
went in. Wynnes hit out with his left, but was stopped in fine style.
In a close, Wynnes again fibbed the old'uo, and went down.
IS. Wynnes went in in a slovenly way, and fell or slipped down.
14. A close, and Wynnes thrown heavily. [Cheers from the
butchers, who admired the bloody aspect of their friend, exclaim-
ing, ." Go it, my Spencer ; cut him up like cat's meat."]
15. Spencer came up lolly, and brought his man to a sharp rally.
Wynnes was hit down on his half rmissd.
16. Spencer, again in high spirits, went in and floored his man, as
he would a two year old steer. [Shouts Irons the Marrow Hone üb.
Steaks for ever!]
17. Spencer again floored his man. [A slice of the best.]
IL Cautious work., Wynne, getting aWay, was followed up and
kit on the smeller ; he; however, countered, but seeing that Spencer
was revedved, be went down to aiold. [The Butchers displeased,
and cries of " divine ri
19. An old Whitechapel man now called to Spencer, and toldltim,
if he'd win the fight, he'd give him a haunch of mutton any day
he'd call. Wynnes was caught as he was coming in with a dig itt
the lug, which booted him. [Shouts from the Meat Market.]
20. Wynnes came up active and fresh ; but Spencer *hewed
the Wens of age. Still he went in to hit. Wynnes countered se-
verely, and caught him under his arm. Spencer went down to
avoid the fib.
21. Spencer took the lead, and dropped his man.
22. Wynnes came up merry, and hit Spencer right and left ;
Spencer received with the obstinacy of a donkey, and would'nt
flinch—be rushed in, but Wynnes went down cautious.
23. On coming up Spencer set to initanter ; Wynnes again went
down (cries of shame ! but Wynnes understood the game he was
playing).
24. Good counter bits on both sides ; Spencer was then going in
to punish, but Wynnes again shifted, and went down (renewed
shouts of dissatisfaction). Spencer parried and fell on his thin flank
(loud cheers, and cries of " well done !")
25. Wynnes put in some tremendous hits, but still Spencer was
active, and rushed in to return. Wynnes, on the weaving system,
still went down.
26. Spencer stopped some good ones, and closed. Wynnes caught
him and fibbed him severely. Spencer got the fall.
27. A rally and change of hits ; Spencer was bit down, but as he
was falling be caught Wynnes round the neck and dragged him upon
himself as he lay on the ropes., Spencer had the worst of this
1111111110131110.
28. Wynnes still fresh and merry, but poor Spencer was tapped
in all his points—streaming blood from every wound. Wynne, put'
in a terrNe left-hander, Spencer groggy and going. A tip on the
snout laid him prostrate. e, All over," cried the ckaver•men).
29. This was the finisher • poor Spencer came up game; but
Wynnes cut him up in all directions—he stored kin like pork, and
the butcher was dropped. ( Woeful lamentations and solemn
dirges among the marrow-bones and cleavers). Poor Spencer
could not come again, and Wynne, was victorious, but he was
evidently glad It was over, for fear of Spencer's determined man-
hood ;it was not safe till it was won. The fight lasted 55 minutes.
Itinealits.—This was, in the strict sense of the word, a goOlifight.
Spencer was, however; overmatched in point of youth and strength,
mod Wynnes rendered his success more certain by his falling, and
getting away—a line of fighting perfectly justifiable when strength
and experience are to be opposed by a light weight.

A private letter from Constantinople—sa-ys " An ex-
press received here has brought the order of the Cordon
of St. Atezancler for Lord Staetoroan, fr.im the Em-
peror of Hume, as a mark of his approbation of his ne•
gotiations for the Russian Government."
MODERN Garece.—There is considerable confusion
in the accounts from Greece, ailing partly from the
Kant of good maps, and partly from the difference be-
tween the names given by the Greeks and those given
by Europeans to the same placest
.for instance, Napoli
di Romania, the Greeks call Nag/ion; Napoli di Mal-
voisia, Monembasia t Patras, /*para. The celebrated
island which we have been in the habit of tallink Ipsara,
the Greeks call Marra, and the inhabitants 1-safliales
(not. Ipsariotsy; and opeatia, Petra, the inhabitants
Petzotes. In a number of minor instances she differ-
ences are much inure riesling.

THE GREAT FOOT-RACE AT DONCASTER.
This great race between Captain P. 11.; 'Li. N., and Mr. Jansen
Metcalf, which was to have been ran en the 27th, was finally hued
on Monday week, to take place yesterday, at Doncaster. This
match excites considerable interest, as, independent of the stake of
5,000 guineas, considerable bets are 'dependant upon the Issue, the
friends of both parties being conadent, though the forty yards given
to the Captain out of the eighteen hundred, give his friends addi-
tional hopes of success.

STERPLR CHA3IL
A very novel spectacle was exhibited in the neiihbourhood of
Dundee, on the llth instant : one of those sights termed " a Steeple
Chase" among sportsmen, or a horse-race front the top of Dundee
Law to the top of Kilparniailli, one of the Sidlaws. Rfipuroie
is distinguished by a tower, once used as an observatory, whiat
crowns its summit. The distance in a straight line, between the
starting point ani the goal, is abaft seven miles and a half; but
the-shortest practicable route nine or ten miles. Noted
the day was exceedingly cold nil very windy, a great asoconeen
wetators, on horseback aod.tio foot, were attracted to the arm.
The race commenced at half-past twelve o'clock. Three horses
starts& They belonged to the Hon. W. Maul* M.P. ^Calmat
Fothesingbam, of Powtie,ana R. Douglas, Req. of Maul*,
lir. D.
rode his own horse. A ifintieff sensation of admiration, astonish-
ment, and terror, arts instantaseossly felt, when, at the given
dyad, the horsemen dashed off down the Law, speed of the wind.
The summit of the Lave Is upwards of five hundred feet above the
level of the Tay, from 'which it is distant about a mile, and Its
brow is steep find precipitous. Two of the horses took
nearly a bird's light caurse ; Mr. Douglas a moreieirenitous one,
availing himself of the turnpike-road for some miles. lie was first
in, having rode the distance in thirty-five minutes, and--distanced
the others by a mile.

SPARRING.
The attractions at the Fives' Court yesterday drew togetlito
most of the prominent amateurs of the Farley, fer the benefit of
Harry Holt, Aid-de-Camp to the Commissary-General. The four
men who fought the day before chewed, and bore Marks of. strong
warfare. Theerorit head exhibited was that of Spencer, who had
to contend in the second battle with youth and actieity. The head
of O'Neil looks worse than Baldwin's, the punishment of the lat-
ter being chiefly confined to the left side of the head front severe
right banded hitting.
The sparring Was better got up than weal; and :fret Jemmy
Lennox and Gadare bad opened the day's play, the following were
among the best sets-to:
The Sailor Youth (Jones) had the best of Goodman, in a floe
molute bout.
Oliver and Ab Banco shook each other's heads in turn, bat
they did it pleasantly, and drew forth touch applause.
Jem Ward and Acton.—The artist Ward had the best of a very
Kientifie set to, although Acton did as much as any other Profes-
sor could do. There were flushes of science on the part of Ward
whisk astonished and delighted the spectators, and the Court was
drowned in applause.
Reid aad Deaf Davis worked well, but Reid had the best of it.
Brown (the Sprig of Myrtle) figured aw ay upon, and floored
the Bristol Baiter.

Gaynor and Cooper the Gipsy set to very gaily, and did not
stand upon niceties. Gaynor's length kept him pretty secure from
Cooper $ right handed lunge, and it was altogether a good bout.
George Cooper, a star in the milling hemisphere, and the con•
queror of Molineaux the Black and Shelton, wound up the sports
with Harry Holt. His actions with Holt were grand; at the move
of a muscle something was meant, and with all the science of Holt
he had not length to cope with him. It was another most excellent
set to, and the whole went aff with. eclat.

A letter has been received yesterday by an eminent
mercantile house in the City, from one of the principal
Turkish merchants at Smyrna, stating in a postscript as
follows: " lam sorry to inform you, that very unfa-
vourable intelligence has been received here; I fear the
Greeks have been very successful." The same house
has hitherto communicated the most favourable news
