MILVAFR43I I.4Ntotl:l, uN ROAD TO 141GliTON.
Y.4..,t;•Td:11 niortii::g, at an early hour, the road was covered
with vehicles or every description, and the bamuches and Imo
wise filled with swells of the fast quality, to witness the Gcs
again exhibit his extraordinary pugilistic powers. It was two to
one aft round the ring before the combatants made their appear-
ance; and at one o'clock, almost at the sally! time, Muir and
' Rickman threw their hats into the ring. Oliver was attended
by Harmer and Josh. Hudson, as his seconds; and the Gas-light
Man was waited upon by Spring and Sheiton. This trio sported
the while typers ; and the eohmrs, yellow for Oliver and blue for
the Grs, were tied to the stakes. On Oliver entering the ring,
he went up to the Gas-light Man smiling, shook hands with him,
and asked him how he did? which was returned in the most
friendly and pleasant manner by Ilicktna:,. On tossing up for
the side, to avoid the rays of the sun, Hickman aid" it is a
woman, and I told you I should win it." On stripping, he pat..
ted himself with confidence, as much as to inftr, " Crhold my

good condition."
Ituveu 1. Considerable caution was observed on both sides ;
both of them dodged each other a little while, made offers to hit,
and got away. The Gas endeavoured to plant a blow, but it fell
short, from the retreating system adopted by Oliver. The Gas
again endeavoured to make a hit, which alighted on Oliver's
right arm : the latter, by way of derision, patted it, and laughed.
Oliver was now at the ropes, aed some exchanges took place ;
but in a close Oliver broke away, and a small pause ensued.—
Hickman at length went to work, and his execution Will so tre-
mendous in a close, that the face of Olivet was changed to a
state of stupor, and both went down. Oliver was picked up in-
stantly, but he was quite abroad—he looked wildly, his left ear
bleeding; • and the cry was, "Its all up—he cannot come
again;" and, indeed, it was the general opinion that Oliver
would not be able again to appear at the scratch.
2. Oliver was very bad, but he got away from a bit. The
Gas now put in so tremendous a facer that it was heard all over
the ring, and Oliver was bleeding at the mouth. In closing,
Oliver tried to fib his opponent, hut it was I.l3Cless ; and the Gas
held bins as tight as if he had been in a vice, till they both went
down. Oliver was so punished and exhausted, that several per-
sons cried out—" It's of no use, take him away."
3. The scene was so changed, that 20 guineas to two were bid
upon Hickman. The latter smiled with confidence on witness-
ing.the execution he had done ; but therm displayed by Oliver
was above all praise, and he appeared, after being brought up by
his seconds, about a shade better, and he fought a severe round.
The Gas received a terrible body hit, and some other severe ex-
changes took place. The cunning of Gas was here witnessed in
an extraordinary degree, and with his left hand open, which ap-
peared in the first instance as if his fingers went into the mouth
of Oliver, he put the head of Oliver aside, and with a dreadful
bit, which he made on the back part of Oliver's nob, sent the
latter down on his face. A lump as big as a roll immediately
rose upon it. The Gas, however, was very much distressed ;
his mouth was wide open ; and it seemed to be the opinion of
several of the amateurs, that he was not in such high condition
as when he fought Cooper, or he must have finished the battle.
4. The Gas endeavoured to plant his desperate tight-handed
blow upon Oliver's face ; but he missed it, and fell down ; and
Oliver, in trying to make a hit in return, felt over his opponent.
5. The left cyc of the Gas was rather touched ; but his cowl-
dence was still the same. Oliver broke away, and he also job-
bed the Gas-light Man's nob; but as to anything like hitting, it
was out of him ; and Hickman nut only bored in upon Oliver,
but punished him till he went down quite stupid. Hickman
for any odds.
G. Oliver came up to the scratch very heavy, but be smiled,
and got away from the finishing hit of his opponent ; and rather
singular to observe, in closing, Oliver, by a sort of dewing throw,
sent the Gas off his legs, and he was almost out of the ring.—
The applause given to Oliver was like a roar of artillery.
7. Oliver put in a facer, but it made no impression ; and the
Gas with his left kand again felt for his distance against Oliver's
nob, and the blows he planted in Oliver's face were terrific. By
comparison the strength and confidence of Hickman was like
that of a giant over a boy.
N. Oliver came up almost do-jug, and began to fight as if from
instinct ; lie knew not what he was about. Hickman now made
his left and right hand tell upon Oliver's head, when tl.e letter
went down like a log of wood. It was £lOO to a farthing...-
" Take him away, he has not a shadow of chance."
9, and last. Oliver, game to the end, appeared at the scratch,
and put up his arms to fight; when the pepper administered by
the Gas was so hot, that Oliver went down in a state of stupor.
The Gaslight man said to his second, " I have done it, he n ill
not come again." Oliver was picked up and placed on his
second's knee; but he fell off on the ground, and when thee e
called he could not move. Hickman immediately jumped up
and said," I can lick anether Oliver now ;" but he went up at,l
shook Oliver by the hand. The latter remained in a state of
stupor for a short period; but from medical assistance being im-
mediately at band, he recovered, and was conveyed to the neaiese
house.—lt was over in twelve minutes and a half.
Ilmaaass.—ln less than three quarters of an hour, thus hes
Hickman conquered in succession, Crawley, Cooper (twiceN
and Oliver. In quickness he comes the nearest to the late
Belcher; J to
but the Gas cannot fight so well with both his hands.
Perhaps it might he more correct to compare him with the late
Genie Chicken ; yet the latter was a shy and more careful fighter
than Hickman. It is, however, but common justice to say of
the Gas, that his confidence is out and ant, and he goes up to
the head of his opponent to commence toe fight with as much
certainty of success in his own mind as Nelson entered Aboukir
Bay. Ile thought himself it/mimeo:de before ; but this last
conquest has increased it so much that he immediately offered
as a challenge to all England, once within four or six months,
to fight any man, and give a stone. It is useless to talk against
seek awn; Oliver fought like a hero, and it was dialed "that a
man must be made on purpose to beat the Gas." The latter
was so little hurt that he walked about the ring, and also played
two or three games at billiards at Croydon, on his way to Lon-
don. Forty-five pounds were collected for the brave but tinier-
tunate Oliver. The backer of the Gas was so much pleased
with his conduct, that he ordered the President of the (brass
who held the stakes of se2oo, to give Hickman the whole sum.

The blunder of the toast-master in giving the.
health of the QUEEN yesterday at the London Tavern,
reminds us of the toast-master at tke Mansion-
House a few years since, at a public dinner, when
General ANDREOSSI and a large party %vete present.
The Government of France at that time w:ts under
the three Consuls. After dinner the usual toasts-
-44 The King and Royal Family," being disposed of,
the toast-master was directed to give the three
Consuls, which he did by giving out, with an audi-
ble
voice, the ~ Three per Cent. Consols." The mirth
occasioned by this mistake may be better conceived
than described. The toast-master, however, was
suffered to retain his situation.
On Monday, the 28th ult. No. 14,041 was drawn
a Prize of £21,000 Consols, and sold by Bun, in
