• BOXING.
FIGHT BETWEEN. DICK ACTON AND NICHOLS'
(A NEW BRISTOL MAN), FOR A'2s A SIDE.
This fight was fixed to come off. at Hayes Commas.—
"'Twas on this spot, in ancient lore oft faru'd,
Jack RandaU and Joe Parish once held sway."
All were ready at the rendezvous, the Shirty Arms,
Shirty Common, about three miles from Croydon. From
information received, l•Asvrever, it •was deemed expedient
to prefer a meadow in Addington Lodge Bottom, about
two miles distant; tlr:re as pretty a sing was formed as
ever contained a hero. The men wete near at bane.
Nichols appeared rather fleshy than otherwise, but in
excellent spirits. Hi bad bees training et. the Jolly
Sailer at Norwood. The arena was in. a valley of
the most picturesque desc: iption, sod 'O4 hills, term-
ing a sort of amphitheatre, were studded with groups
of the natives—male and female.' The be.ting was
about five and six to four on Nichols.—. However,
a county Magistrate interfered, and sent them all
a gbing again. Smitharn Bottom was then named,
and to it, they went across the country like wild
fire. The ring was then pitched, and Nichols was
waiting for full an hour, but Acton, from come mix-
take, did not make his appearance. Tl.e owner of
• the ground, M,. Landsear, had interrupted, and went
to fetch a Magistrate, who appeared, and said do
fight should take place there. The Fancy then ad-
journed to Wimbledon Common, where 'they had
hardly pitched when the Magistrate again appeared,
and a move then took place to Middlesec. Wh.le the
lads of the ling were some of them stopping with Acton,
John Martin and young Dutch Sam came into collision,
and some words ensued, during which Martin chal-
lenged him to fight for love. Sant, however, declined.
When disturbed at Wimbledon Common twice, they
removed to Parsons Green, and the ring was made to:
the fifth time, at ten minutes past five.
Acton came in first, and was loudly cheered; he seemed in et.
cellent condition. Nichols tollowed. The preliminaries were
settled, and the men went to work, Oliver and Reuben Marten
looked after Nichols, and Peter Crawley and Harry Holt assisted
Acton.

At twenty-one minutes past five the men set to—they were well
matched in size, and Acton made play first, but nothing was done;
they rallied, and Acton drew first blood from the butcher's left
eye. Sparring again—when Acton put in a heavy right-bander, bat
was floored by a body hit—(Loud cheers fur Nichol.).
2. loth cautious, Nichols made play, but Acton Jumped away
laughing. Nichols stopped a setaight lefthander ; be fought cool and
fretted the other, and was taken for choice; he, however, set ma
weak; both then went Lto Tally, at which Acton had the brat of the
hitting, but was thrown.
5. Acton let louse, but was stopped cleverly—(encore). Nichols
then began but did no mischief, he tried again and caught the other
heavily on the head, and tollowed up his hits till he floored him.
4. Nichols &gain, jobbed the other cleverly, and floured him by
a body blow.
5. Acton piping like a bullfinch ; Nichols led in, a terrible rally,
and both gave arid took terrible punishment. Nichols was, how-
ever, swung down.
6. Nichols the favourite everywhere. lie led as before, and
Atton seemed almost useless; 'at length he was bit badly in a rally,
and received such a desperate fall un his head and neck that he lay
like a log, and all the efforts of his seconds could nut make him hear
" time.' Nichols was the. _fore declared the winner, is fourtetu
minutes.

Governor Sir J. MALCOLM arrived at Bombay the

Yesterday afternoon a Gentleman residing in Hatton-

to the amount of upwards of 2501.

5,100 qrs. of (Pats, and 3,450 sacks of Floor) since Monday were
