BOXING

lITTYTTEN TOM MT= aro SILL ABDO?, FOR TRW MMUS A-SITE.
Mottlsey Hurst, yesterday, was a; tin the attraction of the
Riney; and, notwithstanding the above match was made in a
private manner, the road at an early hoer exhibited a variety of
tod/ers eager to arrive at the desti:ted ; and the swells were
far more numerous than might have :wen reasonably expected
at such an occasion. At one o'clock Oliver, attended by Ben
Burns ..nd Bill Gibbous, threW up his hat in the ring; and
shortly afterwards Vtbor., followed by the Srnig tt Myrtle and
his father, repeated the token of defiance, and Scroggins and
Tom Jones were his seconds. The name of Oliver, and the re-
collection of what he had done, placed him so high in the esti-
mation of the amateurs, that five to one was offered, hut scarcely
a t iker yea) to be Ine,d. The President of the I)4y Club was
one t•f the time-keepers. The colours were blue; and Abbot
! till! hi• own emblem to the stakes.

Round 1. On shaking of hand,, it was expected that Oliver
would immediately go to his te.wk. Some scientific attempts
at hitting were made on both sides, but without effect, whin
Ibbot run in, and Oliver held him in his arms and got him
down. Shouting for joy, and Oliver for any odds.
Abbot missed a right-handA hit ; ard, after closing, both
went down.

3. Oliver placed a body blow, and they rallied each other to
the ropes, where much hugging took place, and both went down.
4. Oliver hit his man in the throat, and threw him.
5. Some good exchange at hitting in favour of Oliver, who
threw adversary.
6 and 7. Oliver threw his adversary.
It Abbot made play ; Me was parried, and hit heavily in re-
turn : a rally followed, in which Abbot drew first blood from
Oliv.-r's mouth ; but he was thrown.
8. Oliver drew blood in return from his adversary's nose. Ab-
bot placed a good right-handed blow on the nob, in the cl.ase of
he rouLd ; hot he was again thrown.
The next six rouadi Oliver had a decided advantage ; but his
Ames made no visible effect. Abbot was thrown in every round.
16. Oliver had su much the best of this round, that a Sovereign
way hzsging halt 3 crown !
17 18. In the last of these rounds Abbot was reduced to
a stand still; and when he tried every manteuvre for a resting
place; but Oliver held him up, and weaved at him until he was
tired too. _ _

The next four rounds were fought %1 distress, and produced
nothing to remark upon. Both men were bleeding freely.
23. This produced the first knock-down blow from Oliver
in the throat, after a good rally.
24. Oliver received a heavy right-handed blow on the ear, and
he returned the lye upon the eye, and both went down.
25 and 26. Abhor scented tired of his match, and tried to get
down as soon as he could, and Oliver was too much exhausted to
hurt him, .1
27. Over hall a most decided advantage; and in a close Ala-
bot strove to get one knee on the ground; and Oliver exhausted
himself with punishing him.
211. Abbot went down from weakness; and in the 29th he
got a crack or: the head which gro,,,*ti him, and made him
drop it on his seentid's shoulder. A guinea to a shilling was in
vain ofier-t: upon Oliver.
30. This %. as "a fine fighting round ; some severe exchanges
took place, and Abbot at the close of the round, planted such
is traal nsious right-handed hit just under Oliver's ear, that he
wait down like a shot : it was on the spot where Painter, Neate,
and Gat hats l)efore done so much execution. Oliver was now
all ahr....0, and was lifted front the ground like a sack of sand.l
Itatioad .i..mpson, Josh. Hudson, &c. with all their vocifera_
non, sould scarcely restore him to his senses to be in readiness
for the call of " time." It is impossible to describe the state
and agitation of the ring ; not on account of their losses—for
there were scarcely any takers, but the sorrow felt at witnessing
this lamentable de-up of a brave man.-5 to 1 against Oliver.
31. Oliver was brought to the scratch, but no sailor, threel
'
sheets in the wind, was half so .roggy ; Abbot went up to hint 1
like a bull-dog, ladled hint in alliltrectious, and floured him like
a b 'by.
32. The old fanciers were all hurt in their minds at this re-
verse of fortune, and not a Westminster boy, or a costermonger,
but almost felt for their wipes to dry up their moistened ogles:
" but who can tide the ut.certain chance of war ?" Oliver put
up his arms to avoid the puuishment, and again went down like
a log of wood. A guinea to a mog—but it was of no use. Oli-
ver was in Chancery, and completely at the mercy of his op-
ponent, and was sent down as easy as ally.
33, and lash—Oliver was brought up, but it was the Mint to
a 'flashlight. Abbot went in, gave hint the seep-de.grace, and
he measured his length insensible to the call of tune. It oscupied
53 minutes 38 seconds.
lirmaaxs.— Not a man on the Hurst but who lamented this
sort offloads of Tom Oliver, who once aspired to the Cham-
pionship. He must not fight any more. Ile is still brave in idea,
but he does not possess strength or wind to second his wishes.
Abbot will not prove an easy customer, and when he left off be
possessed strength enough to beat a good one. Oliver was ter-
ribly beaten : it was some time before he recovered himself, and
was able to leave the ring. It might be said that Abbot won it
without a scratch on his face. lie shook hands with Oliver.
It is curious to remark, that the Gas observed to Oliver, in
the fourth round, " Why, this is a lark—tent it, Tom? Surely
you don't call it fighting?" .
Sampson immediately threw up his hat in the ring, and of-
fered to fight Abbot for £25, X5O, or XlOO. Hats full of money
might have been won, but all the ring were for Oliver.
Swans Fatima...A second fight was made up between Latkans
and Jones, two little ones, but good, and well known at the Fives
and Tennis Courts as setters-to. Dolly Smith and Sampson of-
ficiated for Latham, and Belasco and Tem Jones for Jones.
This was a prime interesting battle, for twenty-six rounds. hirty-
three minutes. Jones, as gay as a lark, nuebeil Latham at
coming in with great success; but the latter was as game at a
pebble, and always finished the rounds best. In the twenty-
third round, Lathanifrored Jones by a taste in the wind-nsailel,
which rendered the battle his own. Three more rounds were
fought, but Jones wanted the bellows, and gave in. Latham is
a pretty boxer, and nothing but an out.a.td-oat bottom man.
He was much admired by the amateurs. Although this match
was scarcely known to the sporting world, it excited great sur-
prise to witness the lots of swells that were present, and the mi.
nee eaves of the Fancy. It was a good day 'a play...-On leaving
the ground, the general exclamation was " Poor Tom Oliver!"

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT arrived on Saturday at
Kirby Hall, for the express purpose of joining the
Melton Mowbray Hunt.
The Duke of HAMILTON and BRANDON has gene-
rously granted to the tenants of his Grace's Arran
estate, abatements out of their rents of crop of 1810,
to the amount of £3,000.
Cosa RICILLIKII, MAIL[-Last, Nov. 7.--There was a good
supply of Wheat this morning, chiefly consisting of what re-
mained over from Monday's arrival ; and although the trade was
heavy, yet prime samplei obtained Monday's prices, bUt no sales
were made of the inferior qualities. We bad rather a large ar-
rival of Barley from Norfolk and Suffolk, but very little of It
was of fine quality, which sort, from its scarcity, sold readily,
on full as good tams as on Monday, but the inferior descrip-
tions were dull of sale and rather cheaper. In Evans, Peas, and
tats there is no okeratiou.
