THE FIGHT.

On setting-to, both seemed cautious, and covered their points
well. Some minutes were occupied in marceuvring, when Dudley
planted his right on Yandell's ribs—a circumstance which product d
loud cheers iron, the •' boys of Erin," who statist Dudley as one
of their kindred. Yandell, in return, tried his left at Dudley's
" meal bag," but he was cleverly stopped. Dudley made another
body hit, but caught it in return on the 1. phis." A close fol
lowed, in which some fibbing took place, when Vanden slipped on
his knees. The ice being thus broken. the turn got to work in
good style, Yandell upon the cautious system, and Dudley the first
to fight. The certainty as well as severity of Yandell's style of
hitting soon became apparent, and his right and left visitations to
poor Dudley's frontispiece became so numerous, as well as rift-c-
-ave, that a woful change took place In his 8 phisiog." The claret
Came copiously from his nose, and a cut between his ogles added
to the purple stream. To these disasters were added divers
smashing hits on the body, and • quick ►uccesion of heavy
falls; for Yandell invariably proved himself the stronger man.—

Dudley, during these deliveries. was not idle, he planted some good
body hits, and tome pretty facers with his right hand ; but the effect
a' these blows was any thing but conspicuous ; in tact, beyond
a slight cut over his right eye, Yandell showed but little pitin.h-
nient—while his strength remained unimpaired, and Ins county'
hits were unusually severe. Dudley vindic ited hir claim to scien-
tific krowledge by some excellent right and left stopping, and also
proved that his game was beyond a question, by the re adsticss with
which he renewed the encounter. list chances of winning were,
however, gradually decreasing. when. in the thirty-seventh round,
after fighting one hour and eight minutes, his " good genius," in
the form of a worthy beak, suddenly snapped him, as it were, front
defeat; and scarce had one of these friendly smelts finished his in-
carnation, when another appioached in a different direction.—
Against allies so powerful it was vain toe ffer resistance The
men, their seconds, ad their friends,.fled with precipitation, leav-
ing their Worships " all alone by themselves" in the " magic
circle." A fermi el denunciation, was then uttered against similar
misdoings in the same psti•h in future ; and the scattered throng
having collected on the road, resolved to return to the New lots,
Swine-, there to hold a Council of War as to what was best to be
done, and, atter some delay, they set out to Sheppertun fiange,
where a fresh rind was made. Dudley was dragged out of bed,
and taken there ; but one cause of delay followed another, until it
was too late, being hard upon six o'clock, and as it became so dark
the timekeeper holding the watch could not " see time," and the
battle, with some quantum of wordy warfare, was given up for
the time being.—The fight now remains on doubtful ground.
