THZ FIGHT.

brought to the scratch. In the last fight It win be recollected that
Bob was taken completely by surprise, and in the first three 190041
was so completely out-fought, that ho had not a chance; he was hit
down to every round, and from a tremendous right.handed bit on
the eye, in the third round, was almost deprived of his senses.—
" Experience," they say, " makes fools wise;" and Bob profiting
by se severe an example, resolved to commence operations himself,'
and not to wait for the attack ; the moment, therefore. hands
were shaken, to work he went, hitting right and left at Jeos's
stab. Jens retreated a little; but insiabtly met him in the same
style, planting hie right and left with great success; and giving and
receiving, in rather a wild manner, followed. At length. Bola
rushed to a time, and catching Jens against the ropes, a long and
severe 'tinsels for the fall took Place, when both went down, Jem
uppermost.—ln the second retied-Bob against commenced with
rapidity, but found Jens ready,. and was'atopped. SOME wild re-
turns were then made, and Bob pulled Jim down, scratching his
face as he fell, a circumstance which caned fdra Belcher's indigo*:
tion. The third round was distinguished:by wild bet determined
milling on both sides, but without any of those fearful effects of
Jens's hard bitting, produced so early in the former battle. In the.
end Jem bared Bob to tbe.ropes, and threw him cleverly. In the
fourth round Bob again commenced with vigour; Jens was ready.
and severe fighting hallowed; at tbe close Jens went down. The
fifth round participated In the character of the former; Bob bad
made up his mind to buitle Jam and pus his wind to a powerfal
test. Jem saw the dhjeet, but could not avoid it, and. be went
to work with great cleverness, nobbing straight wltb his right
and left, and stopping souse of Bob's wild returns, but oceasitleally
catching it on the body. - The round closed by both men falling In,
different directions, and Bob showed first blood. from the loft eye.
In this style the fight was continued throughout, with tittle variety.
Hub going to work and bustliagwith all his might—Jem getting away,
jobbing, and delivering such heavy compliments on Hob's phis, that '
his left eye was completely closed, and.his mouth and nom bore such
prominent marks of the weight of bisfives, that his moat intimate at:
quaintance would have fotind some difficulty in recognizing him.
The returnee( Bob were not 40 effective by fifty per cent. and in fact
Jem's punishment was cotriparatively trilling. Bob fought round and
wild, (brew away many of his blows, and, although he repeatedly hit
Jem on the body with his right, it was not in the spot to make an im-
pression, being high up no the ribs, or behind—still the continued
bustling hid its effect, and Jem gradually became weak, and
both piped and were dreadfully diqiiessed. Several changes took
place in the course of the fight, sometimes the one and sometimes
the other being the favourite—and the seconds of both exercising
their utmon ingenuity to rally their spirits. In the 43d round Hob
was to all appearance fast going. lie came up groggy, and was so
much abroad, that after receiving right and left, he turned his back
to his man, and in that situation Jem again bit bins severely under
each lug, and dropped him. Notwithstanding this, Bab cans, up
as game as a pebble, and good counter bits were interchanged.—
Jem then retreated, and Bob, in following him up, fell on his knees
weak.—(One of Cross's liens to a cat, exclaimed Josh—and tbe
odds were ten to one on Jem). In the forty-fifth round Bob saw he
bad nothing but bustle for it, and again rushed in wild, closed with
Jem, and after a lung pail, dragged him down. The fight had now
lasted 54 minutes—and Jens seeing Bob's state of distress, went in
with use intent of polishing him off at once, and had a decided ad-
vantage to the fifty-first round, jobbing and dropping his man
every round, and rendering his face a fearful spectacle. Au hour
had now elapsed, and several called out to take Bob away ; but Bub
"would net have it." He said be was still fresh, and certainly his
spirit was yet unsubdued. Any odds might now be obtained on Bens,
but, as it turned out,it was still nor sate—itt fact, Bisb's seconds saw
that Bunts was greatly distressed; and as a desperate and last re-
source, directed Bob w rash is at all hazards., to bore him to the

repo% and to mthaust binds every way his remaining strength would
permit. These directions Bob followed. and at last snot ded
reducing Burns to u weak a state as himself. Jem was usable to

• .Tasterday evening..at sir D clock, a public meeting
was held at. the Cit}. of-London Tavern, for the pur-
pose of fon:nine a Society for Clothing and Edseating
Poor Orphan Childrethystoder. IVIES years of ige ; G.
BYNO, Esq. M.P. in•the Chair.
The ClietiltHAW_said, be had been requested to pre-
side on the present occasion, in order to assist in the
formation of an !plant. Orphan Asylum. The success
of the London Orphan Asylum, which was established
a few years ago, hedlseen great beyond the nisi* tan
-
pine expectations of its numinous and distieguished
supporters. That institution, however, did not admit
children. under the age of seven years, and the neces-
sity of eitablishing an institution such at'die one pro-
pose!, was first suggested by the Secretary •to the
London Orphan He should be Isappy to
contribute towards the eapeni* of ite formatioo, and it
would remain with the meeting to decide whether or
no it should be establishes,. • •
The Rev. ALEXANDER REED said, he rose to submit
to the Meeting a series of Resolutions, which were to
form the basis of the .proposed Institution. In dis-
charging the duties of Secretary lathe London Orphan
Asylum, he had frequently feltothe necessity of doing
something for those poor chitties's, whose tender age
prevented their admission. to that excellent looks.
timi. The numher of orphan children under Mat
age was Very great. These were certainly several
public institutions which provided for the support of
destitute orphan children, from the age of 7 to 14 years
but the Meeting coed easily imagine what must be tl e
sufferings of those poor creatures during their infancy.
The proposed Institution would not stand in competi-
tion or rivalship with any other Institution, but was
meant as a nursery to the se already existing, and to
terminate its labours precisely where theit's began.--
Consistency would requi:e that such an effort should
be encouraged, unless they were disposed to say,
that a destitute orphan above a given age was Is
proper object of charity, and that a de titute orphan
under that age was not a proper object. .That would
be a manifest absurdity, since it was saying that a child
might be disqualified from teceivisrg pity and assistance,
by being too young and too helpless. After enumerating
several very •afilating instances where orphan children
bad been, from -.being under age, unablelo obtain ad-
mission 'to the-London Orphan'Asylum, he concluded
by moving; thXt a Society, to be called the London
Orphan Society, be formed.
D. STYLES said, that the proposed Institution was
ime that recommended itself much more powerfully than
he could do by any thing he could say to the Meeting.
It was a remarkable fact, that among the numerous In-
aitutions in the Metropolis for the protection of Orphan
Children, that not one of them admitted child. en under
the age of seven years. He thought the. proposed In-
stitution theiefore had a peculiar claim upon the bene-
molent and humane, and lelt great pleasure in seconding
the motion.
The Resolution was then pat, and carried unanimously.
The Rev. A. REED then read the Rules and Regula-
tions of the Society, and observed, that the Ci.airman,
when the London Orphan Asylum was originally esta-
blished, generously contribu:el 100 guineas towards
ossuppoit, and had since continued to support it.
The CHAIRMAN said, that he was then com Felled to
retire. He was anxious to promote the object of the
Meeting, and, as a proof of it, he would subscribe 100
guineas towards its support—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then retired, and was succee 'ed by
the Rev. J. KENNEDY; after which several Gent'emen
'addressed the Meeting, and various resolutions weed
adopted, and a liberal subset iption entered int amount-
ing to nearly 200 guineas.—The Meeting then separated.
