BOXING.

The battle between Buirtinvorthohe Essex Champion, and
Corral, the Suffolk Champion,. which excited considerable ba
terest, was fought on Wednesday, for 50 guineas, at Crircy
Ferry, near Burnham, Essex, and it was manfully contested for
3$ minutes. Bennisworth last fought Jusisua Hudson, and
Garrol is one of- the most promising of any that has come cut
for some years, of years of age, with weight between 12 and
13 stone. Tom Owen seconded Garrol, and Bannisworth was
seconded by his brother. The ring wasnumerously attended.
The fight was well contested, but Garrol had the best of A
throughout.
In the 33d round Benniiworth received a quietns on the front
of the head, and he did not recover from a state of stupor alter,
although he stood till the 39th round, when Garrol gave him
finisher in the body, and won the battle.
Garrol is a high-couraged young man, and a bard hitter, and
promises much Mischief amongst the heavy weights. lk
vets his blows home without fear of being hit, and be is just the
age I* become a first-rate boxer.

Her MAJESTY was at Greenwich, and walked in
the Park, on Wednesday evening. A great number
of the most respectable inhabitants assembled about

tic deportment. Yesterday evening her MAJESTY
visited JENEINs'S Nursery Grounds, in the New Road,

of King's Advocate, but Dr. DoDsoN, M.P. for Rye,
is likely to be the successful candidate.
Although the name of the QUEEN is omitted in
the Church Liturgy, we understand many officiating
Ministers pray for her MAJESTY by name in their
Prayer before the Sermon.
A Requisition has been presented to the Mayor of
Berwick, to call a Guild for the purpose of address-

Address, we understand, will be to congratulate her

express the hope of the Burgesses that she will prove
herself innocent of the charges exhibited against her.

Tuesday se'nnight, a fine entertainment and dance
was given to the Meatus and Eaglesham Yeomen by.
their Captain, Mr. &miter, in the old Castle of
Meares, the property of his father, which was fitted.
up expressly for the occasion. The walls and roots
of the two apartments were beautifully decorated
with branches of trees, &c. and so completely co-
vered, that they might be said to dance and dring
in a bower. Each Yeoman had his sweetheart, and
those of them that were married their wives. There
were about 200 persons present, among whom were
some very respectable personages. The night was
spent with the utmost hilarity and harmony, and the
meeting broke up at a late hour. The troop
since proceeded on permanent duty to Greenoct.
They are a respectable-looking body of young Inca.
