SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Ttsetaly se'nnight, one of the most spirited camack
snitches witnessed for a number of years in Scotland,
vliere that manly sport of our forefat:lers has been,
regularly kept up during the Christmas festivities,
took placq on the extensive meadows below the Inn,
of Pixmain, where twenty-four-active. Highlanders,'
dressed in the kilt and bonnet, aisemnblea for that,
purpose. After the contest ended, the. whole of the,
spect.r.ors and combatants 'adjourned to the Inn,
where they were welcomed by the martial sounds of,
the bagpipe, and where biead, cheese, and nrountaist
dew, were liberally provided for them by their Coun-
tryman, Captaia G. MACPHERSON, 97th Regiment.
—On Christmas and New Year's Diy, matches were
played in the lawn before the house of Drakies,' at
the camack and foot-ball; which were contested with
great.spii it. That at the camack by twenty on each
side, and with such equal vigour and success, that,
;although the exercise commenced early, the first day
was expended before more than three hales could be
effected. The second day the contest was resumed,
and upheld with unabated keenness and ardour until
the shades of evening made its further continuance
impracticable.

BOXING.

A gallant battle was fought yesterday, in the fields between
the Harrow and Uxbridge roads, between t•vo as good natural
fghters as ever stripped—%skip Gaildant, a coachman, and .a
cooper, nick-named the Craftsman. They were lightweights,
but. t4stogh small in size, they were lien-hearted, and although
the gloves had not improved their bitting, they were good men,
and knew nothing of the tapping system. The battle arose out.
of a public-house quarrel, and they staked £5 a-side, to fight
the next day, which suite wis Made twenty a-side by their
friends. Goddard was seconded by T. Jolies, and the crafti-
man by lord. -They were in attitude before they had, well shook
hands, after which they went to work, and hit itiVay'for four
minutes, when both were reduced to .a stand still. In the second
rally, which lasted other four minutes, the Craftsman was
grassed by a hit its the wind.. .
In the second round both were bleeding profusely, and piping
like nmrers in the care of a knacker. Some time was spent. in
trying for first hit, which the Craftsman placed behind his op-
poaent's left ear, end which left in zrilrk. In the 'close both)
wanted strength, and a knowledge of the teenting.system ; eon-
tually, Goddard was hugged down. •
3. Goddard missed his hit and fell upon his face, Whets the
Craftsman pointed at him with a ghastly grin-2 to lon Craft.
4 and s.—Both were too much distressed to exeeate ins Work-
manlike manner, and both were down in each found.
o. Partially recovered, both turned to like a British tar at
boarding, and after a manly rally Goddard was hit down by a
blow on the mouth, which drew one tooth only.
T. Goddard was hit out of time, and lost the fight.
Ccua axn Nes.rz,!—This match was off last night, by Cribb
receiving a forfeit of £lO, which yas to have been made .41.00,
on Wednesday evening.. now came it on? was the question;
in answer to which it was states;, that a Br slolian had been les-
sening the ulents of the London ring, and chaffing about the
prowess of Neate. The sturdy Champion being present, stoned
Neate's friend's slipper by offering to fight him for any sum, and
£lO a-side was deposited. Wednesday evening being the time
appointed for making the stakes half the amount df the battle
money (WO guineas a-side), John Emery, a man of talent, filled
the chair at Belcher's, iu the presence of about forty persons.
The time having expired, the Champion produted his money,
when it was understood that two hundred guineas was too heavy
a sum for Feast's friends to raise, and the Champion of 43,
received the stake money from a fine grown fellow not twenty-
five ! eribb's health was drank with three times three, and he
made a speech. lie in reality did want words to express his
feeling at the handstene speech which the Chairman had made ;
but be cut it very short by stating that he was so Speechifier, for
he would rather fight than make a speech; but ha thanked all
his fri..nds. The bottle went freely round, and two matches
were made for the 5d of March, between Dan. Hudson and the
Birmingham Youth, and old Scroggins acd Parish the watennan.

MEETING AT GREENWICH.
Yesterday evening, pursuant to in Advertise me
very extensively circulated throughout the Hundred
of Greeziwiih, Blackheath, Little and'Lessness, the
inhabitant HousehOlders assembled at the Green Man
for the purpose of addressing the QUEEN, on her tri-
umph over her unrelenting persecutors, and of peti-
tioning tbs. House of Commons for her restoration to
all her Cbtartutional rights. As early as five o'clock
the-great room was filled. True to the Jacebinical
principle, that end sanctified the means, the ene-
mies of the QUEEN had taken every preliminary step
to secure the success of the cause of social order and
exclusive loyalty,.by outrage, violence, and bloodshed.
An anonymous letter was, during the former day,
circulated through the Hundreds, denouncing the
object of the Meeting. As an illustration of its viru-
lent spirit, we insert the following paragraphs :
" Sir Thomas Wilson, of Charlton, and the Reverend Kr.
Chamberlayne; the Rector of the same place, are the avowed
patrons of the measure, and this alone will be sufficient to stamp
the character and object of the measure.
" It is possible that the neighbourhood may be insulted by
the treasonable effuslons of many, who have neither property to
risk, nor property to low."
In pursuance of this invitation, a knot of Placemen
and Place-hunters, reinforced from the Hospital by
men who did not appear to relish that kind of service,
entered the room at an early hour. They immediately
raised a cry that the Chair should be taken by Mr.
WiLsosr; the Magistrate who presided at the " exclu-
sively Ultra. Loyal Meeting." Shouts of dissent met
this proposition from various parts of the room. Mr.
WILSON himself declared that he would not take the
Chair, as he was decidedly opposed to the object of
the Meeting.
Mr. WHITTLE was called to the Chair by the Re-
quisitionists. This respectable tradesman has been
indebted to the early patronage of her MAJESTY for
his prosperity in life, and with true British gratitude,
by his manly conduct, proved that her Royal benefi-
cence was not ill bestowed. Mr. WHITTLE said, he
sought not the honour, but sooner than an opponent
should preside, he would obey the call.
Mr. LoNotreviLLE CLARK, a Placeman, proposed
Mr.LOWNDES, the East India Proprietor.
Mr. Lowsoxs refused to take the Chair, unless
duly called to it by the majority of the Meeting.
Mr.. CLARK. then placed a chair on the table, and
I.Vr.Wutrue, called by the majority, took possession
of it.—The d9gs of war were now unloosed, the chair
Was. dragged from under Mr. WHITTLE; cries of
Kingl King !"—" Queen! Queen!" resounded
through the Meeting ; tables, not kingdoms, were
sorverted—stools and chairs supplied the hostile
armies : for ten minutes the din of war prevailed—
Solon's laws were operative, as every man either gave
or received a wound. The victory was, however,
most decisive, as the promoters of the outrage and
the enemies of the QUEEN were driven in sad and
disgraceful route from the room. The Magistrate
(Mr. WILsoN) at length took an elevated position in
the Galleiy, and from thence read the Riot Act ! !
The Meeting, in the course of some time, separated,
but not until 20 of the persons were taken into custody.
