BOXING.

In our last we inserted the answer of Spring to our townsman
Neat, in which he charges the latter with a forfeiture being due
of £25 arising from Neat's breaking his arm whilst training to
fight him, sad in not sending his challenge till the time had ex-
pired. We have authority to say that this is a mere subterfuge.
Mr. Spring was paid all that he was entitkd to, and all that he
demanded ; the excuse therefore must have been made as a
fence against what Mr. Spring conceives will he no joke. It
should also be stated,-that the challenge of Neat was conveyed to
Mr. Spring nine days before the time expired, which Mr. Spriqg
took three weeks to reply to. The Belascus took a Benefit at the
Assembly-room on Thursday evening, which was well attended.
llendrzo went through his imitations in fine style, and was Icud-
ly applauded.—(Bristol Cal% tte.)

SAM HAZELL, IRIPITOL, AND WtsITERFLOOD, OP evils.
This Match, which was knocked up hi a hurry, was decided
on Friday afternoon, on Durdharri Down. all Neat and Bob
Watson seconded Hasell, and Mendoza and Belasco took care
.of Winterflood. It was half-minute time. In the fourth round
Hazell received a tremendous blow upon his left ear, from Win-
terflood's right hand, and, after a short rally, was thrown. In
the 6th, he received another, which came with such fora! as to
be heard round the ring. The 7th, after a rally, terminated in
favour of Hazell; but in the Bth, Winterh•aod's righ: made:,
was again alongside his opponent's left ear, which began to
show the effect of the punishment he had received upon that spot.
Upon coming to the scratch, in the 10th, Hazell let fly his right
hand at Winterflood's nob, without any previous ceremony,
which made him go quickly to work ; Hazell was thrown. The
11th ended in favour of Hazel, but the 12th and 13th in favour
of Winterflood ; they were two good rounds, and give and take
was the order of the day. In the 14th Hazel! punished his
adversary's head, and got away without receiving any heavy ex-
change. The 15th, Winterflood was evidently distressed, and
cams• to the scratch open-mouthed and piping ; but in the 17th
he made play, and was again at work upon flazell's cocoa-nut,
and drew the claret from his left ear. 18th, Hazell came-to
smiling, and made a good right-handed chop upon Winter-
flood's mug, when he ran in upon Hazell, who was grasserL-
19th, Hazen made another chop a% his antagonist's mug, which
he avoiding, Hazell fell from the force of his own blow. 20;•
Hazell put in two blows, right and left, upon Winterflood's
ogles, but was thrown in a rally. 21st, Winterflood repeated the
compliment on Hazel's left ear twice in this round, but was at
lengthfioored. The 22d was a hard-fought round, and termi-
nated in favour of Ilazell, whose left ear and temple were, how•
ever, much swollen, as were also Winterflood's peepers. 5.311
and last, Hazell commenced with a right and left upon the bead
of Winterflood, who went inre his man, but it was only to ie-
ceiee the finish. Hazel! kept ?lobbing his opponent and retreating,
until he fell head foremost, when he cried " enough." The con-
test lasted thirty-five minutes.

The residence of COWPER the Poet, at Olney, in
Buckinghamshire, has long been uninhabited, and is
now in an advanced state of dilapidation. Some cf
the neighbours, however, on the day of the Corona-
tion, procured boughs and flowers from COWPER'S
favourite walk, at Weston-under-wood, and deco-
rated the outside of the house with oak, laurel, and
wreaths of flowers, to his memory. _ _ _

This morning, the workmen employed at the Royal
Exchange were thrown into great consternation, by
the falling of a large stone, upwards of 200 cwt. from
the top of the building. In ►ts passage it broke va-
rious thick planks ; many of the men clung to the
poles, and one jumped from a ladder a considerable
height. Fortunately no person was hurt.
The prisoners confined in the various prisons in the
vicinity of London, at the suit of the Crown, and who
I are to be discharged by an Act of Grace, received
the pleasing intelligence yesterday, and drank his
MAJESTY'S health w►th three times t! . .

Cosa EXCBANOI, Mmtu-Lave, Alvan 3.—The unsettled state
of the weather caused a brisk demand for Wheat on Wednes-
day, particularly towards the close of that day's market; and,
having had no fresh arrivals, the supply this morning was very,
small, and which found buyers on full as good terms as on Mon-
day. Oats are Is. per quarter cheaper, the arrivals being very
considerable from the Lincolnshire end Yorkshire ports. In
Barley, Beans, and Bias, there is no alteration.
