BOXING.
SIIITH AND BLACW.—Saturday last, this contest, which had
been most anxiooly looked for, took place in a valley, denomi-
nate., Helper Valley, on the Ashborne road, about one mile
frnn. r. For tales round this place, the bustle commenced
at .. hour, with groups of people coming from different
parts eager to witness th.• h.ttle. Between six and seven,
Smith .nd Blacker entered the ritig, in excellent spirits and good
con, ooper was Smith's second, and. Osbiston officiated
u bottle-holder ; Hacker was attended by Tom and Neddy Nut.
Round 1. Several feints took place, when Smith put in a se-
vere left-handed hit on his adversary's neck ; Blacker, by a sharp
return on the mouth, made the claret fly in all directions. A
=re t many blows were exchanged, when Blacker, in closing,
found himself on the ground.
t full of spirits, ran in, and put home a fierce blow
on the right breast, and 'another between the shoulder and the
atm,wbich ;vas of no effect : they closed, and Blackerwas thrown.
5. Smith, on the alert, gave his opponent a severe left-banded
kit on the ribs, which sent him down.-6 to 2on Smith.
4. Smith stood up heroically, and a smile of confidence was
seen on his gallant brow; several good blows were given, and
tell stopped, bra Blacker fell.

5. Oi no importance.
6. Blacker, on the decline, attempted to rally, but he received
a most swore body blow, which seemed to knock the Mears out
et him, another on his temple, which spoiled dim fur the remain-
der of the fight.
Seventh aisi last round. Blacker had been so severely punishe

that he was not able to face his man with his former .r;solution,
and he reluctantly acknowledged be could hght no longer. This
battle lasted fourteen minutes.
ItOYAL HUNT.
Friday, soon after nine o'clock, the huntsmen and hounds
arrived at Longford with the deer cart. About ten o'clock a
fine deer was turned out of the cart for the day's diversion ; the
assemblage of sportsmen was numerous to attend the last day's
bunt. This deer was turned out in a large field to the left of the
liitb road, leading towards Drayton, and took at first to the
/tin towards the Magpies, taking to the left through the fields
towards Hettinfon, and crossed the Uxbrisige road, went by
Pinner to the right of Watford, taking to the right acrnss the
inclosures by Harrow on the Hill, where many of the sportsmen
were obliged to give up the chace. The deer kept running with
great swiftness, crossed the Edgeware road, and was taken as
Kilburn Wells, to the left of 'titivate:id, after a very lows
day's sport. It was an excellent opportunity for the Loudon
sportsmen, to bring them so near home, the deer taking the
direction towards London. Some of the sportsmen had many
Liles to return home in the dark; the huntsmen and hounds,
with their attendants, came home through Windsor about half
gm eight o'clock.

We have heard, upon very good authority, that the
Spanish Ambassador in London has received a report,
drawn up by two Spanish Gentlemen, who, within a
very few days, have passed over the country at pre-
sent occupied by the French forces. By this docu-
ment it appears, that the Army of the Pyrennees is
destitute ot the lot age necessary almost for the com-
mencement ot the campaign; and that, in conse-
quence of this deficiency, which cannot be hastily
supplied, it wiii be necessary for the cavalry at least
to remain within reach of provisions for their horses
until vegetation is in a more advanced state in the
Peninsu'a.—British Press. •
STAGE COACH PERILS.— About two o'clock on
Sunday 'swiling the North Devon coach, being then
at a short distance from Teffont Magna, was over-
turned; both the fore-springs, lamps, and windows
were broken, and the coach materially injured. The
Passengers providentially escaped with very slight in-
juries. At Teffont Magna three poles were put under
the perch of the coach as substitutes for springs, and
passengers proceeded in it to Salisburf, where
another coach was procured. Before the coach left
Taunto.:, two of the passengers objected to the book-
keeper that there was an excess both of luggage and
Passengers but no attention was paid to them. The
%tidy person who exhibited the least concern for the
Passengers, warßruford, the guard.
