BOXING.

The admiren of this species of hardy asainsteat havelfow
the following metches in view, upon which there is a gnat

deal of sporting : •

S to 4 on Burn.

Turner and Cyrus Deis, on Thursday, the 17th June—
Turner for choice.

Donnelly aid Oliver, on Saturday, the I,7th of July ; 5 to 41
on Donnelly. The latter match excites a singular Interest. It is
the City of Westminster against the City of Dublin. Dannelly
is the champion of the Sister Kingdom ; and Oliver, who lost
his championship of We,tmirster in his battle with Carter at
Carlisle, is anxious to reclaim his laurels.
Carter, it seems, fakirs another matt.' with Spring, but we
apprehend confidence in-him is completely upon the wary., if nut
utterly lost.

cess of Spring was hailed with the loudeet pleudits. Ile left the
ring without losing a drop of blood. The battle lasted an hour
and three quarters.
Pantaaxs.-.-The exhibition made by Certer on this occasion,
certainly 'hewed that no man had less pretensions to the Cham-
pionship than he had, and we are only sir sized that euccesa
crowned his exertions with those whom he had previously en-
gaged. He seemed, upon one or two occasions, altogether to
have forgotten the most essential requisite in a boxer, we mean
courage ; and to have rested his hop:s of victory or Ws superior
strength, and the dunce of wearinz. nut his adversary by fibbing
hiss at the ropes. Spring, however, has ,hewn himself " a good
ore," and will, no doubt, in the course of time, gain the object
of his ambition. Ilad the strength of his blows bans equaLto
his skill, Carter must have been beaten in half the time.
