BOXING.

The battle between George Croft, an athletic navigator, and
Granger, the Somersetshire tinman, took place on Tuesday, on
Field Common, eight miles from Wajcornb, Bucks, for SO guinea*
Ben Tay, the wrestler, seconded the tinman, and Martin, a
bargeman, seconded Croft. The fight lasted SO minutes, but fear
rounds only were fought. The tinman, who is under eleven
stone, delivered six hits upon hi: adversary's head in the first
round, without experiencing any return, from his quickness in
getting away. Croft caught him on the ribs after figating thir-
teen mit.utei, which en led the round by a ilaorcr.
The second round was manfully contested, and acme hod
blows were given, to the advantage of Grasser, who brought his
adversary down by a blow on the nose.
The third rout.d, which lasted seventeen minutes, was deci-
dedlr in favour of Granger, who had darkened one eye sad
da-
maged the other. Croft floored his man by a blow on tie month.

In the 4th and last round the bargeman was beat by blinclneie,
and be was set to without even a peep at hfs man. He received
severe punishment, although strong upon his ]cgs he had ru
chance of turtling the combat in bis favour, and the tium.u.'s
was welcomed by the word—enough.

Derotatrng Letters !—A few days ago a boy, genteelly deleted,
called at the house of Mr. Boller, in Paddington-oureet, nag pro.
seined a letter which he said was for V: r. B. and requited Le an-
swer. Mrs. B. thinking the letter was on business, broke the
seal, when an explosion took place, and something !trick her on
the face, which caused a momentary pain : on r, covering from
Iflr (tight, Mrs. B. proceeded to peruse the letter, which only
contained the 1% ord." P.p 1"

Yesterday a young man, who stated himself to be,
the son of the late Admit4l /Cleo, was charged, at
Union-Hall, by Wortley, a Constable, who .stated,
that on Wednesday night, while he was on duty at
Astley's Amphitheatre, the prisoner desired to be ad-
mitted: Mr. Adams, the box-keeper, required him
to pay the usual sum, which he refused, and forced
himself past Mr. Adams, threatening. to shoot him
for his impertinence. Wortley took him into custody,
after considerable resistance, and conducted him to
the watch-house. The moment the prisoner was put
to the bar, eight haaney-coachmenstepped forward,
and preferred charges against him for defraudin
them of their fares. It appeared by their statements,
that their coaches had bean kept in attendance by the
prisoner for six or seven hours at a time, in various
parts of the Metropolis, and that the amount of fares
so claimed amcunted to upwards of 61. The latter
offences having occui red in the City, the Magistrate
ordered that the nisoner should be taken to the
Mansion House.
