TILE RING.

Friday evening last, Langan, Spring, and Reynolds, met together
at Mr. Belcher's, the Castle Tavern, when, as might be exp-ctrd,
a good deal of chaffing occurred. The tight and valiant Irishman
declared publicly that he was not satisfird Spring could beat hirr,
and he should be most happy to have :mother trial on a stage. The
Champion replied, that lie was ready to fight any tnan for 500'.
either on a stage or the sod, provided the stage was turfed, but he
was determined not to fight for any lass sum. The host of the
Castle told Spring not to value hinisOf too ntuch on retaining the
championship, because he had a new one coming up from die
country, who was very likely to doff him of his houonrs. We 7.7 e
happy to say, that no ill-nature prevailed during these rentar::,.
