BOXING.

A game battle for .50 guineas took place yesterday in a field
belonging to Captain Coveney, at Isaton, near Wycombe, be.
tweets G. Matthews, the tinman, backed by Captain Coveney,
and Davey, the Walton navigator, two eleven stone men, who
bad won several battles. The tinman was seconded by Jones
and Aleadows, and Davey by B. Ford and Young Bellborse.—.
Six as manly stand-up rounds were fought as ever were seen,
when an accident terminated the combat. There was not a
parry attempted, and the men were not artists enough to hurt
each other in a close, except in throwing.
The first found Listed four minutes in exchanging hits, and
more daring was never displayed. The play was made by the
tinman, but every hit was returned, and he was thrown.
Y. Davey had his lip laid open by a right-handed facer, but he
returned boldly to the scratch, and exchanged many hits. In
closing they had a trial at the wearing system, and both went
down, and dropped the claret freely.
7.. A short round in favour of Davey, who floored his adver-
sary by a hit on the jaw.
4. Counter hits were exchanged at meeting, which sent both
from the scratch, and gave them a little time to consider, but
they soon turned-to again and fought to a stand still. Dave*
was thrown.

5. The tinntan was much punished about the head, and after a
good raUy, he was floored by a body blow. Davey the favourite
6th and last. Hits were exchanged, and another rally followed
with heavy blows. Davey was thrown a imminent', and pitching
on the right arm, it dislocated it, and won the battle for the
tinnian, in twenty-seven minutes.
INTERESTING MOVEMENTS OF THE FANCY.

In consequence of Madan having announced his intention of
exhibiting his talents once more in the prize ring on Tuesday
next, after taking his leave of It upwards of two years since, by
a public challenge to all England for 500 guineas a-side, it is
impossible to describe the interest which this milling event has
excited throughout the circles of the .Fattcy. Martin was the
last opponent Randall defeated, on May 4, 1819, occupying 19
rounds, in 49 minuteta4o seconds, without giving the Afaster ..bf •
Me Bolls a shadow of chance. But since that period the aimations
of the above combatants have been most strikingly different,
re:wetting their importance with the amateurs. The cab:al.:vs
practice and success of the-el/aster of Me Rolls have made him
quite a hero in the sporting world. Joshua Hudson the genie
John BuU fighter; the iran,hitling Cabbage, the terror of Brie-
tol ; the slashing, quick punishing Birmingham Youth; the big,
strong Lipsey, at Lewes Races • the lively, active, and pretty
boxer, David Hudson; have all defeated in succession, and
in good style, by Martin : added to these batches of good luck,
he has also received forfeit from l'urcell, and likewise con-
quered the hitherto out-and out and teary Turner, in a most
masterly manner. These actions speak fur themselves; and, as
a pugilist, he is considered to have made great improvements
and as a good trainer, none excels, and very few 'can equal
Martin. Ile is more etopyid.wt than heretofore, and is now look-
ing forward to reach the lop of the bee. On the contrary, Ran-
dal!, contented with having proved the conqueror in twelve
battles, left the ring to serve his numerous customers in the ca-
pacity of a publican; or, in other words, to become a sort of
smite butt to the fancy. Being careful as to his person was now
out of the question, as Randall had done with the character of
a prim fighter; and as a blue ruin caterer for the amateurs, it wad
impossible, at all times, to resist the pressing invitations of his
customers to let it pass his lips. These circumstances, as to the
stamina, is giving the chance away of two points out of three;
and any boxer who enters the prize ring from such tastes, is in
great danger of finding it out. At the end of April, in the
present year, Randall was so dangerously ill that his recovery
was almost despaired of by an eminent physician. In fact, bo
ought not to have entered the ring again, but, in a moment of
irritation, immediately on the defeat of his friend Turner, Ran•
dell threw up his hat in the ring against Martin, for £3OO aside.
This large Simi occasioned a little hesitation on the part of the •
backers of Mlrtin ; but, upon comparing notes, the above stakes
were got together; and the friends of Martin are very sanguine
as to his winning. On the match being made, Randall was the
favourite, 5 to 4 ; 6 to Q immediately followed; 7 to 4 was soon
afterwards laid without any sort of delay ; 2 to 1,2 i to 1, and
even .1 to 1 has been demanded, so high does Randall still stand
as a prize fighter in the sporting would. The Pals are so warm-
hearted upon it that they assert, by de potocrs," with or withoull
a constitution he can bate a botch of Masters of the &Re But
this sort of enthusiasm is very far from anything like a criterion
upon the subject. Randall may be the best fighter; but his op-
ponent is not wily a stone heavier, but he has also the advas.
Cages of height and length. The Master of the Rolls is far from
an indifferent boxer, and who can hit twice as hard as Turner--
such is the authority of Scruggins. An accidental blow, how.
ever, soon spoils the bets; and the long odds has, in too many
instances, been floored; for the dies of the "geofljudges." At all
events it is a most interesting feature to the Laney: and great
doubts have been expressed by the " 11. in Me corner cores" whe-
ther Randall is actually wen, or only "patched up !" Upwards
of see'.oo,ooo is depending upon the issue; and one Gentleman _
alone has spurted 5e5,000 on the Nonpareil. Martin is in his
25th year, and Randall ::ti.
