SPARRING.

The Champion Crilh hrd a benefit at the Peer
Court on Wednesday, which was crouded to excess.
It was known that Cribb and Carter would set to, and
also Belcher and Scroggins, and these were great
attractions, as Carter only wants backing to tight
Cribb, and amateurs are at issue were_ Belcher anl
Scroggins to contend, but Belcher has openly an-
nounced that he has seceded from the ring. The set
to with Cribb and Carter demonstrated pretty clearly
what would be the result of a real combat between
them. Carter, in making his left-handed hit at the
head, was.thrice in tout parried by his adversary's
right hand, and frequently it was returned upon
the body with the same motion, whilst Cotter's right
hand never was effective. This set to produced a talk
about a match which we shall directly state. The
set-to with Scroggins and Belcher was :nstructive to
adventurers, and amusing to the amateurs. Belcher
is decidedly the best sparrer on the boxing list, but
he could not make the display anticipated. He could
not place above a hit before Scroggins was in, and
although Belcher had the best of the art.te, Scroggins
performed masterly. The amateurs were lot dy
satisfied. The better end of the company then
retired to Belchees to dinner, and so numeruus was
the assemblage, th.:t the tine2ers were scarcely safe, to
uae the expression of a popular setor who took the
chair, and who kept it, until the wonder.working
effect of Belcher's grate, savoured with a little Deady,
made all heroes. Scroggins uFbraided Turner with
more energy than eloquence of being *argil to tight.
and that he had only talked about it kfore his Lenrfit.
They had a turn for love, but after fighting a round,
the amateurs spoiled the sport, and reserved the deci-
sion for another day's play. Scroggins wasmatched
to fight him a hundred to fifty that day month, and
the sum of £lO was staked to bind the match.—
Carter next asked to be backed to tight any man.
when Cribb mounted the table, and challenged to
'fight any thing in being from three to twelve hun-
dred, observing he had fought so often, that he
should not again prostitute his talent for a trifle.
Bravo resounded round the room. Carter said he
thought the Carlisle people would back him for
,C3UO, and be would ask them. Mier devouring
about twenty dozen of wine, the lads departed to
spend the evening.
Fiona-ism —A pugilistic contest took place on the eld, some-
where to the south 01 Dalkeitli, near Edinburgh, bete/ern Coorsa
and Itosiusoss, the Illadt. The fancy were abroad at an early
hour, and every hack was put to requisition.
