BOXING.

Bantzts HALE" THE NEW BIR.MINGRAM LAn, AHD MALL, TUE
STREATHAM YOUTH, TOR. £25 A-SIDE.

One of the fights which were made to take place in the ring
after Joshua Hudson and Shelton, took place yesterday, and :t
was a real merry one. All the talent St. Giles s, St. James's, cr
even Bermondsey could produce, was congregated on Wimhl, -
don Common. There was a pun; sprinkling of the mill/pi:awry
present also. Martin, Randall, Shelton, Spring, Oliver, Abbot,
Lenney, Brown. Hickman, Carter, A. 13CIASCO, Turner, Sctoi -
gins, Barlow, Dolly Smith, &c: assisted in keeping a good rir:..
This fight was pronounced to be on the square; and* " i s f
Llunt dropt on it." At one o'clock, Hall, accompanied by Jos; .
Hudson and Jack Carter, attempted to throw his white toppr
into the ring, but the wind prevented it from reaching the rope-.
Neale soon followed, attended by Harry Holt and Paddington
Jones. Hall was decidedly the favourite at 6to 4. According
to the chaffing of the East-end squad, Hall was to turn out a se-
cond Gas-light man.
ROUND I.—On stripping, Hall displayed a fine frame, and his
mug reminded the spectators of Tom Reynolds;
.Neale looked
well also, but he was not exactly bang-up to the mark as to tip-
top condition. Hall was not long in making play, hut without
effect; a few blows were exchanged, when the left hand of
Neale alighted on the conk of Hall, as he was going furiously in
to mill, and Hall went down amidst the shouts of th:! spectators.
" Send this man hack to Birmingham," said the Streathatnittp,
" if he can't stop better than with his head." '
2. Hall stood at the scratch sparring with his opponent ; not
exactly having recovered front the last facer. Neale conimenced
fighting; when they closed, and after some severe fibbing at the
ropes the Streatham youth went down, the claret issuing from
his nose and mouth.

5. Neale planted a rum one under the listener of his opponent ;
but Hall, regardless of danger, bored in, forced Neale to the
ropes, and fibbed him till he went down. Hall it was evident
was the strongest man but the worst tighter.
4. Hall rushed in arid threw Neale heavily.
5. The Streatham Youth met his opponent manfully; he hid
the best of this round ; but in the two subsequent rounds the
men had outfought themselves, and much hugging took place in
distress.

8. A manly fighting round, in which Neale had decidedly the
best ; he threw his man well.
The 9th was a tame round ; but the 10th was the best in the
fight. Neale met his adversary's rush by a kit-handed facer,
which shook his head ; he unmuzzled, and turned to at real work.
The men closed twice, broke loose again, returned to slaughter
work, and fought each other to their last standing. They even
fought when half down.
11. Neale here began to fight upon a winning system ; as Bob
Gregson used to say, he made use of his yeail. When both were
tired Neale fought at a point, breaking ground and receiving his
adversary's head with his left mauley upon the rush, which served
him out and clianccrified it uncommonly. We need not billow
fonrteen other rounds in detail. There was much equal fighting,
and much equal earnest work. Hall was ever busy, and Neabe
was artist enough to judge the road to win. The goodness of
Hall often brought the other's giving qualifications to a stand
still ; but we are all stopped in turn.
The 25th round sent Hall to a slumber or scheming, as the dvrav
is technically termed. After a manly round Hail received a
heavy fall, which sent him into a five minutes' sleep ; and as he
was deaf to time, Neale won the fight in forty-two minutes.
It was altogether as brave a fight as ever took place on Wim-
bledon Common.
Another good fight followed, between Collins, a craftsman, and
Turner, a butcher, which was won by the snobs
Ward threw up his shallow, but no ?mice was taken of it.

Wednesday night, as Mr. H.Williamson, of Coburg-
row, Lambeth, was returning home from the Theatre,
he was attacked by three men in Westminster Road,
one of whom staggered towards him, apparently in-
toxicated ; he was immediately hustled by the gang,
who robbed him of his watch, with which they made
off and escaped, though closely pursued.

Quick, the Comedian, one day passing through
Broker-row, Moorfields, was seized upon by a barker
of a furniture-warehouse, who, without cerenmiiy,
pulled him into the shop, and began fluffing off his
tables and chairs. QUICK, being old and infirm,
made little resistance, but asked the man if he was
master of the shop ? " No, Sir," said the bat ker,
" hut I will fetch him immediately." The man re-
mined with his master, to whom he put the same
question-=‘ Are you master of the shop, Sir r
" Yes, Sir, what can I do for you?" " Only" re-
plied Quick, " just hold your man a minute, 'bile
I go out !"
CORN EXCHANGE, MARW,-LANE, NOV. is.
The contrary winds still continuing, our supplies el this day
are but small, and the Wheat trade continues in the same state
as on Monday. Prime Barley sells freely, but other sorts age
rather heavy in disposal. In Beans, Peas, and Oats there bite
alteration ; upon the whole the trade is very heavy.
