BOXING.
HALL AND Pnn.te San eson—This fight took place at War.
wick, on Tuesday last, on the Race Common, where a 24 feet
ring was roped in immediately under the Grand Stand. A field
over the Gog-bridge had been whispered as the spot, but for the
accommodation of the amateurs, and for the convenience of
making a levy, by filling the sand with half-crown ti kets (half
of which were given between the pugilists), the cscene of
action was changed. The calculators were not mistaken, foe It
never was more crowded on any former display of " old English
pastime." The town had been previously fast filling for hours
with a numerous arrival of amateurs. Leamington swells, yeo-
men, and extra coach and boat loads of Peeping Teas and Brum-
magem A vast concourse of Amos assembled on the occasion,
and, with the true game of Warwickshire lads, stood out a piti-
less storm, that smoked like a steam kitchen, as the tatters and
velveteens dried in the hot sun. Some Aldermen and Clerks
attended in domino, and a " Sorer officiated as umpire.
Considerable curiosity was excited (or the display of Sanip-
son's metropolitan learning; the " Dead Men" booked it as cer-
tain, and simpered over the punishment they predicted Sampson
would astonish the novice with. It was Hall's first introduction
to the prize ring ; be bad been well known In the neighbourhood
as the victor in a torn-up after Warwick Races, and was the
recent conqueror of a • Black Diamond" at Leamington Spa,
and his character, as a glutton, of no common order. Hall is
also a frumiughan, man.
Sampson entered the ring first, and threw up his " shallow"
amidst loud applause, and in a few minutes, Hall followed, an-
swering the token of defiance. Josh Hudson and a countryman
seconded Sampson ; Aby Belasco and an antique Israelite per-
formed that Ake for Hall. Hudson tied the blue colours of his
man to the stakes, and Belasco placed the blue bird's-eye of Hall
upon them. The men set-to at half-past one. Sampson 6to 4,
and 2 to 1 the favourite.
1. Cautions sparring foe half a minute : Hall on his guard '--
Sampson made some play ; closed ; Sampson fibbed Hall; a few
blows,- but in a trial of strength, Sampson thrown.
2. Sampson commenced this round with an apparent determi-
nation of milling ; some good counter-hitting took place, when
Hall floored Sampson.
3. Sampson again made play, but received some severe punish-
ment • and was floored by a blow in the victualling office.
4. Both sparred cautiously ; Sampson evidently weak and
distressed ; in a close, Hall dropped him clean by a blow below
the jugular.
5. Sampson was evidently beat ; and immediately on closing
was again sent down. 20 to 10 on Hall.
6. Sampson here commenced a series of intentional falls ; spar.

7. Hall closed on Sampson after being nabbed, and dropped
out of the ropes.
to to 11. These rounds all terminated in Sampson falling after
placing ineffectual blows on Hall's left cheek and chest, who
was not quick enough to return before Sampson had squatted
like a Turk in Divan.
12. Some exchanges and counter hitting took place, when Hall
drove Sampan on the ropes, and on Sampson trying to toss
Hall, he was floored by a blow on the head.
15. Hall received a blow in the wind, which tilled his com-
plexion, and weakened him; in hugging, both down, Sampson
undermost.
14 to Is. Sampson here appeared a little recovered ; rained
and nabbed Hall, but was too weak to punish hint, and always
down.
19. Sampson again nobbed Hall away, who returned ; bodied
him severely ; Sampson down.
21. Both sparred a minute, when Sampson planted some good
flush hits, but without any force; in a good rally, Hall punished
him in the body and dropped him.
22. In this round Hall fought with considerable science, went
nobbed, and sent Sampson out of thelring by a flush bit on
the tip of the nose, which drew the first cork.
25. Sampson again mobbed Hall, who went in and grassed hint
by a blow en the jaw.
26 to 34. Hall waited for Sampson, who generally nobbed
him or hit him on the chest ; Hall then closed, and Sampson
fumed his way to the ground without any punishment. In seve-
sul re m& Hall caught him to fib, but as Sampson was at prayers
as his knees, be handsomely refrained, and threw up his arm..
The umpire was often appealed to, as the conditions were " a
Mr stand up Sea," but no decision was made.

Hall hit Sampson right and left, d la Randall, and finished by a
