BOXING.
B. Moss, the Bath Tinman, ar.d Archer, the 'Weybridp Nevi-
gator.—These heroes of the fist met on Saturday at Pedley Court.
de miles from St. Alban's, to dispute a £5O. stake.—The seconds
were R. Jones, for the' Tinman and Colley Smith, for Archer.
The first round was all bustle, with but tilling execution, MS
the Tinman was thrown.
- 2. Some steady s!aughtefing work took place. The Munn
began a formidable sally, and worked well, and his opponent as
manfully met him, until both turned pipers.—The claret dropped
freely, and, after seven minutes contention, both down in a close.
3. 3ioss had the best of tactics, but Archer placed some heavy
body hits, which floored his adversary by a close tie-up in the wind,
which made him sigh.
4. Archer had the best of this round from the hurt his antagonist
received in the body in the last. It lopsided him, and seemed to
have left one of his haunches in the rear. Animated as if, Seager
and Evans had been seconds, he flew at his adversary's bead, but
he was met with a chattering facer, and again grassed.—Two to 1
on the Navigator. roaring.
5. The Tinman, in a soliloquy, said, " I'll tell you about your
odds directly." and he made aU the play, which produced a tremen-
dous rally-whit for hit was exchanged until both were outfought,
and then constitution began to chew itself in the Tinman, who
threw his adversary a heavy fall.
These rounds had occupied twenty-seven minutes of real fighting.
and in the following one, it was Father Thames to Aldgate pump.
The Navigator was a blinker, one ogle having been closed, and the
other appeared like a hole in a blauket. Archer stood up to receive
punishment, until the 2:11 round stifled his effortsoand his seconds
sung out " Enough." The Tasman won with much difficulty and
lots of punishment.

HALTON'S ANSWER TO THE CHALLENGER OF
ALL IRELAND.
Sts:—Hall.g seen a letter signed George M'Kellet, I am unwil-
ling to lose any time in replying to it. I have by this night's post
written to honest George, accepting his terms' and addressed my
letter as he directs. " George Cover, pugilist, Edinburgh ;" and I
hope to convince the friendly Scot, that Pat Halton will give a hos-
pitable reception. and a hearty belly-full into the bargain ; his re-
ception shall be to the full as good as that which Sir Daniel Do
Deily gave to George Cooper himself. I would be sorry to throe/
51r. M'Keller upon the mercy of the whole country, as I think
am able to sail* him, and I would recommend him to mention hie'
own weight when he extends his eh-ence to any countryman Q
mine. But to be serious with this customer, I am ready to meet,
him upon the terms he proposes, and al soon as convenient to him,
not only for rocg. but at much as he can raise within 1.0001. And
as I am careless about a handful of ounces, although restricted by
my patrons to my own weight, I will spare the Scotsman a few
pounds—anything within half a stone. As lam anxious to see Mt.
M'Keller upon his own terms, the sduner he addresses me up:so the
subjeet the better, as I am both ready and willing to meet him, and
My friends have the blunt in waiting. -- • --
Yours, and obedient semne, • •
