TUNBRIDGE-WELLS, AUGUST 21.

The flow of company, from the commencement in
the spring to this time, has never been known to
equal the present season ; so that literally everyy
lodging-house has kept constantly full ; yet as the
interchanges have been great, so the succeeders have
in no one instance been disappointed in a house.
We have been honoured with a visit by the Prin-
cess SOPIIIA of GLOUCESTER, whose stay, though
short, we have been given to understand, was so
pleasing to herself, from the little she had the oppor-
tunity of observing, that we have well founded rea-
son to hope her visit will be repeated, and her stay
then of considerable duration.

A few days since the Princess of WALES set out from
Blackheath, on a visit to Lady CHARLOTTE Cats-
VILLE, at the Bowling-green House here, and for the
purpose of selecting a house fur her residence ; after
which, she accompanied a party to the ball, at
Sprange's Rooms, where there was a numerous as-
semblage of rank, beauty, and fashion.

WROXIIAM BROAD.—The assembhge of boats on
Wroxham Broad, on Moult), se'nnight, was the most
numerous ever witnessed there ; they began to collect
from Yarmouth, Beccles, Norwich, aid the neigh-
bourhood, on the preceding evening ; and by ten
o'clock this beautiful piece of water was almost co-
vered with pleasure boats of every description. About
noon the f6Allowing started for the Silver Cup, to sail
three times round the Bload, viz.
The Jason, Mr. Works, of Belaugh.
Little Devil, Mr. Green, of Yarmou.h.
Mallard, Mr. I(!:rriicin of Paaiworth.
-

The Jason took the lead at starting ; but soon after '
the Little Devil passed her, and kept a-head till
the latter part of the match, when having shipped
a quantity of water by a sudden squall, the Jason
was enabled again to pass her, and won the Cup.—
After the match, the whole flotilla assembled at
the B tth-house, when a general attack commenced
upon the roast beef, pies, and other provisions,
which had been plentifully stowed on board, and no
quarter was given thereto for some time. The seve-
ral bands played during and after the repast —catches
and glees were sung by some of the jovial boats'
crews—others in the wherries began "to fiddle a lit-
tle and foot it a little," whilst the sliarirsag :lass was
filled, and the flocuiv am went round. The whole
concluded with sailing and tacking across the Broad,
the boats on which (including wherries) did not fall
short of 100 sail. The day being very fine, Much
genteel company attended, and this aquatic frolic was
enjoyed by thousands of both sexes, unalloyed by any
any serious accident.

• The Marshal's man who went express to Liverpool
to apprehend Atkitiv?m, the clerk of Messrs. BEDDING-
TON and Co. of St. John-street, has returned without
his man, as Alciason had got on board an American,
ship, the Charles, outward bound from that port, and
had sailed about two hours before tie officer's arrival.
He pursued the vessel in a 6.oartA boat to sea, but
the weather was so boisterous he was obliged to relin-
quish the purqii7. The employers of Atkins6ll, how.
ever, are not likely to sustain any loss, as rate of them

bequeathed to Atkinson, shortly before be absconded.

The brightness of Friday, after the dreary day of
Thursday, drew together a very large concource of
people of every description on the course, who were
much gratified with the very excellent sport which
was afforded, particularly in the first heat for the
County Plate, which was so well contested, that
when the horses came in, to use a technical term,
they might have been covered with a sheet— in this
match the knowing ones were completely taken in,
Guardy being the favourite, and the odds much
against Dimit3.
Wednesday last a match of Cricket was played in
Leeds Park, between the Gentlemen of Biddenden
and the Le. di Club, when Leeds got on the first in.
slings 31, and on the second 41—total 72 notches;
and Biddenden on the first innings 35, and had two
wickets up, and 13 notches fetched on the 2d innings,
when night terminated the match.
Tuesday last, a match of Cricket was played at
Tenterden—the Gentlemen of Appledore and Wood-
church against the Gentlemen of Tenterden, which
terminated in favour of the former, with one wicket
to go down. •

BOXING.

The match which has been much spoken of, betweed
Blake, the pugilist, and a black man of the name of
Molineaux, who entered the boring list with a Bristol
man, in Tothil-fields a few weeks since, took place on
Tuesday, on the spot where Richman and Maddox
fought, four miles from Margate, and two from Re.
culvers. Mojineapx is an American from the States
of New York, who weighs between thirteen and four-
teen stone, and stands five feet nine inches. He has
lately arrived in England, and having found out
Richman, the black pugilist, his countryman, and e
having observed that he had a notion he troull beat
the most celebrated professors of boxing in Losidbis,
he was matched against a stout Bristol man, whom hir
vanquished with great ease ; and he was afieristras
matched for 100 guineas against Blake, a pugilist of
40, and of no mean notoriety, he having struggled
hard with Crib and other boxers of first ride.
At an early hour on Tuesday morning every vehi.
cie from Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstasrs, Ike. was
put in motion for the field of action, and boxing being
somewhat novel to a Kentish man, the ring was
more numerously and respectably attended than the
ordinary exhibitions cn Moulseyhurst or Old Oak
Common. At one o'clock, Blake was driven up to
the ring in a Baronet's barouche, with the champion
Crib, and Gibbons, his seconds ; and in a few ml.
nutes after, Richman introduced Molineaux. They
set-to at half past one, and betting was 6 and 7 to 4
on Blake.

Rousso I. Cautious sparring for about • minute, win at.
put in right and lett hits on his adversary's body, and stopped his
return hits. They closed and fought at best ; but Mak=
from the arms of the black, who gave him a violent
blow on the back of the neck as be was getting away, sod=
ted it over the head with the right hand, which knocked
down.—Even betting.
S. Blake made play again ; but the strength of two or three
well-planted hits was not sufficient to move the black at Ida legs.
—He received the blows with great coolness, and at lenedi is
beat down Blake's guard with his left hand, and knocked him
down with the right, with a quickness which would have been
an ornament to the science of Dutch Sam or Young Belcher.—..
Six to tour on the black.
S. The black run in at his adversary to take the advantage of
apparent distress in wind. He however was received by Make
with a chattering facer on the jaw. A smart rally followed,and
both fell ; Blake undermost.
4. A hard round, but it was such a one that convinced the
judges of boxing that Blake bad trained of. The black render.
ed his adversary's guard useless, by breaking through it with the
strength of hitting ; and although Blake planted as many blows
as his adversary, yet they had not the same effect, u Blake's
head most hideously exemplified. The round lasted above two
minutes, with obstinate ruffianly fighting; and Blake, after haw.
ing made a good body hit, was knocked down.—Five to two on
the black.
5. Blake met his man bleeding very freely, and he rushed at
a rally, which ihewed he possessed the same courage as he hat
often displayed in termer battles. In the rally, the black got his
left arm round Blake's neck; he held his bead up with his left
band, whilst he fibbed him with the right in the lace, until Blake
fell from loss of blond, and the ground resembled the Boor of a
slaughter-house.
6. The black set to work to beat his man off hand, and he
rushed at him, chopped down his guard with his lett hand, and
hit hint off his legs with his right hand, by a tremenuous quick
and heavy hit.—Any odds against Blake.
7. A smart rally made by Blake, in which several blows were
exchanged, but Blake was too weak to harm the hard frame of
the black, and he fell from weakness.
8. In this, the last round, the black set to work as in the sixth
round, but Blake retreated as far as he could, and then he was
obliged to rally, to extricate himself from the iron grasp of his
sturdy adversary. He planted a hit on the black's cheek, which
was returned by one on the head, which set Blake sleeping fur a
short time. He was not able to appear in time; and he was moat
horribly beat about the head. 'I lie winner received some sharp
hits about the body, and he had a fracture or two in the fate.—
Übe battle lasted 17 minutes.
The black, who is 26 years of age, threatens to rail,
the whole race of fighters of the day, and as he has
entered the list with a determination to do so, he is a
man not unlikely to succeed. He has improved since
his first battle. He hit at halt-arm at that time, but
in this battle he dealt out his blows from the shoul-
der, and gave the effect and strength of his body with
his hits, which are sufficient to stun a bullock. Ano-
ther requisite he possesses, which is important, that
of quickness, and his body seems callous tofiric pu-
nishment. Blake has considerablj fallen off.
4 Molineattx has taken lessons from Richman fre.
queixly since his battle with the Bristol man, and he
lias acquired the art of giving, whilst Nature has en.
Jowed him with the gift of taking. He has challenged
Cribb, who is the first professor, Gulley having de•
clined fighting again, and a battle will take place, as
Cribb has accepted the challenge, in about six weeks.
Richman arrived in London with his victorious bro.

he had begun to erect at Milford-haven, when death

The similar;ty of the objects induced his executors to
parr with the astronomical circle for a" sum far be-
neath its intrinsic value. Indeed, the Directors of the
Glasgow Society have reason to believe that a similar
. instrument could not be obtained for less than SOO
guineas above what they have paid, and that, after a
delay of several years. The concurrence of so many
rare adv stages, as well as the extent and form of the
building, which unites architectural elegance with
simplicity, must entitle this to a place among the
first scientific establishments in Europe.
