who are no strangers to courage and the prize-ring, fought their
third battle yesterday, on Bitford Common, six miles from Saw-
htidgeworth, and four from Hockerell, in a 24-feet squire. Moss
had won the first battle, and Harris the second, after a very manly
struggle. This match was for a stake of 80 sovereigns, and it was
truly one of the " Greek meet Greek" sort. Phillips seconded the
Titnan,*and Ben Ford picked up Harris. Capt. Smith was umpire
for both. After a well-contested combat of 14 rounds, in 37 mi-
nutes, Moss was declared the victor.

as soon as Spring sends the fifty postal% he will make a match, but
he will not light in October. "It is not likely," he says, " tbit I

M 4aTIN AND Jan 111111. N..-- It was yesterday stated, that the 200
sovereigns a-side was made good on the preceding evening, for the
boxing match next Wednesday, at Doncaster. After the mono
was deposited upon the table, a dispute arose as to who should be
stakeholder; and as no decision took place, the fight will not take
place on the day named. The money deposited remains for the
fight; and Burn (Ben) offered to back his nephew from fifty to five
hundred pounds. Burn's party was in waiting at Windmill-street
yesterday, but Martin's party was not there.

PAYMENT OF PRIZE-MONEY.—Ann, widow of Thomas

Hades, a seaman on board his Majesty's ship SANSPA•
am., in 1792, on a late application to Gieenwich Hos-
pital for her husband's share of prize-money, was in-
formed that it being only Is. 6d. it was too small a sum
to be remitted ; a reply was immediately forwarded to
the clerk of the Check-office, stating that it was not too
small to be accepted by an aged widow ; when an order
was in consequence officially issued that the sum of
'ls. 6d. should be paid, free of expense, at the Excise
Office of Towcester, and it was received there by the
poor widow on Wednesday se'nnight.
SUDDEN DI ATll.—Yesterday morning, a youth about
seventeen >ears of age, was observed in the front of St.
Paul's Church, Covent-garden, in a very weak state,
and at length he sank to the ground. The watch-house
keeper took him in, gave him tea, brandy and water,
&c. and with the assistance of medicines, he seemed to
revive; but in a few hours after, he became suddenly
"worse, and expired. The Medical Gentlenienwho at-
tended were of opinion that the death of the unfortu-
nate lad was occasioned by a want of proper sustenance.
He was wasted almost to a skeleton.
