FIGIIT BETWEEN STOCkMAN AND•CAVANAGH:
It is difficult to get people to leave town to see little men fight;
and the set-out on this occasion was one of the poorest ever wita
nessed. A cross was talked of, which prevented many from going;
and the few who were present consisted of about two hundred raga
prouffins of all sorts, including pickpockets, a select num?r of
the fighting men, aloouta do2en Gentlemen, and the persons inte-
rested in the fight, or who came down, as we heard said; to see ILO
the thing tens performed. At Hampton town,
" Where the Red Lion, staring o'cr the way,
" Invites each passing stranger who can pay;' -
there was no passing stranger to take advantage of the obliging MA
vitation, and the Red 1,108 bore his hlushiag honours unattended,
Well might he blush for the decline of the fighting ring, and the
absence of all those sporting characters who have heretotOie mane
bled under his ensigns, or who are understood to compose that
great community, the Fancy.
Of all the Fancy, Moulsey saw yesterday but the dog breeders;
badger hailers, and livers on gin, and when the stakes were pitched;
and, the ropes hung, and the empty carts ranged for the outer ring;
the men of the olden time looked upon the place as a scene of desoa
don, compared with what Moulsey had been. The day was in
every respect unfavourahle'—a heavy rain poured down for the
greater part, and it only shews what people will go through to in-
dulgek'a favourite pursuit. A good fight was expected, and that kept
up the circulation, and the kind courtesies of " A glass of gin here's.
—" Rpm or brandy here"—" Spiced bread and hrandy-balls"—a
repeated on every side, were good hints for Infallibly keeping up
the warmth of the blood. The ring was farmed on a new site,
immediately near Garrick's villa, and as the Ring and the Stage have
been once the same, and as Langan wishes to meet Spring on the
stage, and thus unite them again, it was no bad notion to lay the scene
(With a tragedy carpet ready set), under the mansion of the Roscius.
At twenty minutes after one, the men entered the ring, and, on
stripping, the advantage was manifestly in favour of Stockman;
both as to condition and weight. Jack Randall and Josh Hudson
seconded Cavanagh, and Crouch, whom report has probably tuts-
named a " resurrection man," and Ca I,s, a sort of ea to the ring,
waited on Stockman. At lialf.pastone the battle commenced.

ROUND 1. Some neat stops (fOr the science of both men is good.)
Stockman cautious. Cavanagh, anxicus to get to work, made a
body blow, but was met with a flush hit in his mouth, which
loOsened his grinders, and drew the cork from his smelling bottle.
&oekman now closed, and threw him a complete summerset.
2. Sparring for some seconds. Cavanagh anxious to go in, but
could find no opening. Mutual stops. Stockman received a-slight
tap on the cheek ; the distance was not well measured. Stockman
got away from some well-intentioned compliments, and; on Caw
nagh again coming in, closed and threw him instantly.
3. Stockman received on the ribs, but gave counter-hits oil.Ce•
vanagh's eye, which became puffed in consequence. Stocknian
again got away with the agility of a dancing-master, and in a close
threw Cavanagh a terrific fall.
4. Stockman received a chopper on his chin ; a merry rally fut.
lowed, stop for stop. Sparring for some time, Stockman evidently
waiting the attack, and careful of his own person. In a close, Ca. -
vanagh was thrown.
5. Cavanagh hit Stockman slightly, and Randall patted his back.
Stickman laughed, and in a twinkling paid another unwelcome .
visit to Cavanagh's nutcrackers, and the claret Bowed freely. In a
rally sad clbse Cavanagh again thrown.
6. Science on both sides, and good stops. Cavanagh received on
his other eye, and in a close was thrown. He was now weak, and
his legs tottered from the violence of hi's Ills.
In the 17th round of the fight, when aithour had just elapsed,
Stockman, it a close, was slightly fibbed and then thrown, with
Cavanagh upon him. It seems he got the time, for when he was
brought on his second's knee be pretended to chop his head, as if
dead beat, and gave in. After a few minutes of very bad acting,
he was taken outside the ring, from whence he walked to the river,
and crossed to Hampton, as sound as when he came the same pads
in this morning.
ltaataats.—So barefaced a piece of business as this has never
been witnesed. The impression throughout the ring was the same,
and there was not a person present who did not exclaim against it
as a rank cross, and a downright robbery. It was a bungling busi-
ness, and so palpable, as the fellow had not the heart to let himself
be hit or have blood drawn, to make even a semblance of punish-
ment, but he kept the odds rising upon him, even when be went
dower in the last round. It was so barefaced, that we know that
Fatties who took the odds refused tb receive. It came out that this
bit of honesty was suseected, and Sptiug, whose conduct is a credit
to the ring, and who is anxious to support irj propriety, went to
Stockman before the fight, and told hint that it was said he Intended
to make a cross, but he recommended hint to act honourably, and
:-.ot mind the bad people he was connected with, as he might be
assured, if he crossed it, he shooed never be allowed to appear in the
ring'again. Stockman replied—" Ile siiauld du as lee knotted."
A second fight tuok place between 11-9 ones and Mackenzie, which
ended, after an hour and a quarter, in favour of Wynne.. It was a
bad fight, and not worth notice.
