BOXING.

An immense concourse of persons assembled on Friday after-
noon, at Southsea Common, near Portsmouth, to witness a sad!
between Jack More (better known by the name of Podding), a
Jobber, and Bill Holder (alias My Ibu•!r'), a fighting Butcher, for
Twenty Guineas. The fight had been the subject of conversation
for many days preceding, and the combatants being known gor,tl
ones, great anxiety was evinced by all clas:es to witness the
conflict. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a ring was funned
on the Common, and every thing pot tended a speedy commence-
ment of operations, when, tailackily, a diAtice of the Peace,
with fifty Special Constahlt•c, appeared, and obliged the parties
to retire out of the jurisdiction of the Borough. They then went
to Hayling Island, about three miles distant. The cavalcade of
dusty pedevtri ins, from the lAtn to the Cative, &Ass all de-
scription. .eme time was occupied in crossing the ferry, there
being but ten regular boats employed. A ring was sc.on formed,
and at lye o'clock Pudding threw in his white castor, and My
Uncle quickly followed tbe example. Pudding appeared in ex.
relent condition, and was seccud.•d by Clap•haw. Johnson
picked up My uncle, and Coles vitentb.d. in lien of a bottle-
holder, with a lil.tddcr of runt and trabe. At sitting-to, the
odds were seven to four on Pudding.

Hound 1. Cautious sparring for ;short time, when Pudding
made play and drew the claret from his-opponent's nob. The
latter, however, returned heavily on the body, and was thrown.
2. Pudding resolutely went in to his man, and some heavy
blows were exchanged—a fall, the Knight of the Cleaver under.
3 to 2 on Pudding.
3. My Uncle gave Pudding several severe facers, the latter
returned on the body, aid again threw his man.'
4. A good round in favour of the Butcher, who loosened his
adversary's masticators, and otherwise punished his nat..
5 to 10. Severe fighting, the Butcher lied the best of the hit-
ting, but was generally bored down.
11. A•most tremendous round, both let loose, hit away was
the order of the day, and the claret flew about in all directions.
12 to 17. A at des of hard fighting, but generally in favour of
My Uncle, which altered the odds three to two in his favour.
18. Pudding's nob was completely disfigured, his features
were scarcely discernible ; yet, with much resolution, he floured
his antagonist.
19. Both came to the scratch weak and piping ; after an ex-
change of hits, the Butcher floored Pudding—two to one OR the
Butcher.
.20 to 39. All in favour of holder, who punished the already
altered nob of his opponent : Pudding, however, would not be
denied, and, from superior strength, generally terminated the
rounds by getting the Butcher down.
40. Pudding appeared much affected in the teindigic.e, but
the Butcher being weak, could take no advantage of it; a hug-
ging round, and in a close both fell.
41. Pudding's daylights were so much affected, that he in-
quired whether it was not getting darks he, however, went in to
his man, and, by a tremendous blow on the jaw, floored him,
which turned the odds in his favour.
42 to 44. The Butcher began to fail from weakness, and Pud-
ding to repay him on the ribs for all past favours.
45, and last. Pudding get the Butcher's head under his arm,
and after fibbing him severely, threw him a heavy fall, and ter-
minated the battle, which lasted one hour and 28 minutes.
Itituaats.—Pudding is a 14 stone man, and his opponent
about 13. Both shewed great courage. Pudding is a tremen-
dims hard hitter, and of great bottom. Were the Dutcher, how-
ever, of equal weight and strength, from his superior science, he
would be too much for the jobber. Both parties were so much
beaten as to require their being carried off the ground.
After the above fight, a second took place for a subscription
purse of live guineas, between Ike Marshall and Bill Parnell,
two noted pugilists of this neighbourhood, which was won by.
Marshall, after a severe contest of twenty-five minutes. Both
skewed great game; but Marshall's severe right-handed hitting.
(in which be much resembles Gas), put his antagonist in such a
stupor that it lust hint the battle.

LOVE UNDER A RED.—A most extraordinary fracas
took plack at the Wicklow Hotel, Dublin, a few
days ago. It would appear that a Mr. B--,
having formed a strong attachment to MiFs It—,
found means to secret himself in the bedchamber of
the young Lady at the above Hotel. Wholly un-
conscious of any such circumstance, the your Lady
entered her chamber at the usual• hour of repose, at-
tended
by. her maid servant, who, while in the act
of undressing her mistress, perceived a boot under
the bed, upon which, with great presence of miTO,
pshe beckoned to the Lady to quit the room, and fol-
lowed as quickly herself'. They immediately locked
up the intruder, and alarmed the house, upon which
the father and brother of the young Lady flew to her
assistance, and upon the door being opened, a vio-
lent scuffle ensued between the parties, in the course
of which shots.were fired by the lover, we are happy
to say without taking effect. It is added that Mr.
B— has enterod into bail to a Loge arnow for his
appearance.
