. THE SECOND LION FIGHT.
[The following account is from a Correspondent at Warwick.
We have not time nor room for more than an expression of disgust
•and indignatlim at the cruelty of the spectacle and the supineness
•of the staginracy.)
Wombwell has. notwithstanding the strong expression
of public ind gos4tion which- accompanied the exposure
of tbelicn Nero vr the six dogs, kept his word_with t'e
lowers of cruel 'sports by a second exhibition. He

Wallace's temper is the very • opposite of that of the
4rntle Nero. It is but seldom that he lets even his
leans 'approach him. and he soon shat be can-
not reconcile himself to familiarity from .any creature
sot of his own species. Nero has completely recovereis
wee are glad-te say, from the severe usage he received ;
but one of his opponents, the spirited Turk is dead,
and most of the tea are much torn and maimed.
Towards eight o'clock on Saturday evening, the
Factory yard at Warwick was well attended, at ss.
each person, and's on after the battle commenced.

THE FIGHT.
. In the Ist round, Tinker and Ball were let loose, and
bath made a gallant attack ; the lion having waited for
them as if aware efehe approach of his fees. He the wed
himself a forest lion, and fought like one. He dapped
tbis•paw' upon poor Ball, took Tinker in his teeth, and
deliberately walked round the stage with him, as a cat
"would with a mouse. Ball, released from the paw,
worked •all he could, but Wallace treated his slight
punishment by a kick now and then. He at length
'4iropped Tinker, and that poor animal crawled off the
stage as well as he could. The lion then seized Ball
•.with his.teeth, and played precisely the same game with
• hinh is if Imbed actually been trained to it. Ball would
basic been almost devoured, but his second got bold of
-him through the bars, and hauled him away.
,Turpin, a London dog, and Sweep, a Liverpool dog,
•itstttle an excellent attack, but it was three or four
'Ninnies before the ingenuity of their seconds could get
—diem on. Wallace squatted en his haunches, and
plated himself erect at the slope where the dogs mounted
•the stage, as if he thought they dared not approach.
The dogs when on fought gallantly, but both were
• vanquished in less than a minute atter their attack.
The London dog bolted as soon as be could extricate
himself front the lion's grasp, but Sweep would have
been killed on the spot, but he was released.
Wedgbury untied Billy and Tiger, casting a most
piteous look upon the wounded dogs around him.—
Both went to work. Wallace seized _ Billy by the
loins, and when shaking him, Tiger having run away,
Wedgbury cried out, There, you see how you've
• vmmoned me to have the best dog in England killed."
Billy, however, escaped with his lite. He was dragged
: Oman's the railing, after having received a mark in
rlic loins, which (if he recovers at all) will probably
tender him unfit for any future contest. The victory
Of course was declared in favourhf the Lion.
Several well-dressed women viewed the contest from the tipper
mattment of the factory.
