SL'ORTLNG WORLD.

GSNTLEMEN-11r: Spring, in his letter, speaks of his wish to
avoid " chaffing, and bring matters to a right understanding," be-
tween hint and me. To shew you, therefore, that the citc:f:sig is
not on toe side, and that /am really anxious to have matters clearly
understood, I beg to submit the following facts to your judgment :
When 1 challenged him in Manchester for 1001. a-side, he pre-
tended to treat my offer with contentin (though be had never, but
in one instance, fought for more), and named 5001. as the least
stake—a sum three times greater than any for whit:t he bad ever
contended. But though he was afterwards shamed into ktreeitig
for 3001. a-side, yet he calculated on my inability, to raise so
mach : 'and 'to prevent my doing so, he and his friend, besides
throwing other obstacles in my way, contrived ,to induce the
Gentleman who agreed to put down the whole sum for me, to
withdraw his patronage; so that it was with the utmost difficulty
I raised the battle money.—M to the battle, it is needless to re-
peat that I have good reasons to complain of the treatment I expe-
rienced. Every unprejudiced witness will bear me out in thisolnd
my friends are so satisfied with my conduct, that they are ready
to back me against Spring for £5OO on a stage, which they think
the only way of guarding against a renetttion of unfaiitreatment.
But when Spring finds me thus supported, he raises his detiand to
a thousand; on the ground that I challenged him to fight for any
sum front £5OO to £lOOO. My words were—ihat I would fight
hint for from .e3OO to £5OO, or for £lOOO, if I were backed, and
I do not deny them; for, if I had £lOO,OOO I would confidently
stake it. But £5OO is a sum between £5OO and £lOOO ; acd. if I
could get hacked for £lOOO I should rejoice at it, as it would at
once do away this excuse of Spring. I think, however, that it
will not cell much for his credit it he continues to reject the £XO
which I can command, and £5O of which I am ready to 107 down
at Belcher's, to make the match, any time he thinks proper. I be-
lieve nine out of ten, in the spniting world, will agree that Spring
cannot honourably refuse this proposal, were it even on►y to met t
the complaint of foul play, which l am justified in making with re-
gard to the former battle.
But he has also pledged himself, when he received the champion-
ship, to imitate the donor's conduct. Then why not redeelu his
pledge, or resign the gift ?
lie says that be does not VS ish to enter the ring again. This it
Mere shuffling. Ile ought not to hold a situation for which he has
no taste—he cannot, in justice, have the honour without the danger.
If he will not fight, then let him resign the championship ou o'ie
that will—to a man who %till not want to make a sinecure of the
title, and will always he ready to fight for a stake of SOO/.
Permit me again to'repeat, that I am ready to make a match ta
fight Spring fur £5OO. a-'side, withip 100 miles of London, o:, a
stage similar to the one on which Cribb and Molineux (aught.—
Sparring -exhibitions I cannot attend, till I set to for my Erie d

eat:diem servant, JUAN LANGAN.
