SECOND FIGHT.

A slashing battle wal fought yesterday, to the northward of
the Regent's Park, between Ames Brown, a ten-stone man, sad
a carpenter of the name of AMU. This was a slice of amusement
for Twelve Pounds, between two rare good men, hut Jones had
more than a atone of weight over his adversary. Shelton and
Sampson seconded Brown, and Jones was seconded by two of
his brother chips ; and, to throw a light upon the mill, Gas was
the umpire.
ROUND 1. This was severely contested with long lunging hits,
which told on the sides of each head; it ended in Jones being
thrown heavily.
E. Both eager to go in, they made severe play for four mi-
nutes, when Jones's nose was tidily laid open, and the claret Sew
like ginger beer from a bottle. He went down with the bit.—
The fight continued a slashing one, to the advantage of Brown,
until the 12th round, when Jones was bit down, and he had no
chance afterwards ; but his seconds kept him up to the scratch
as long as he could stand. In the 15th round Brown was de-
clared the victor.

THIRD FIGHT,
Between the Sprig of Myrtle (Bzown), and the Gay Ifortd Boy
(Bozeman), for Twenty Pounds a-side, on Mitcham Common.
—Yesterday the Fancy postponed attending to the attractions of
Greenwich and Stepney Fairs, till Whitsuntide; and the lots of
Amateurs which were seen early on the road, put all the Boni-
faces into good humour, under the idea of turning some of the
loose cask of the holiday people to account. The ring was capa-
cious, and well made, and some thousands of persons were round
it. Brown, although defeated in his late battle with the scientific
Curtis, is still so important an article in the Boxing Ring, that
Oliver, Martin, Scroggins, Curtis, Richmond, the new Black,
&c. were on the ground, to witness his efforts. He was the fa-
vourite (live to four), from being well known. Horsham bad
also a good character for game qualities; but it was his first appear-
ance in the Prize Ring, and he was at least ten pounds the
heaviest. At two o'clock, Brown' followed by Josh. Hudson
and Files, as his seconds, threw his hat into the Ring; and
Horsham shortly afterwards repeated the token of defiance, and
Elks and Bailey were his handkre. The combatants were nearly
of a height, and both appeared in good condition.
Rooms 1. The attitude of Brown was interesting, and the points
he &hewed was a convincing proof that he was well acquainted
with the manceuvres of the Prize Ring. Horsham appeared
confident, and he might be termed a liUk big matt from his mus-
cular frame. Some little pause occurred, when Brown let fly
with his right hand at the body, but it fell short. After another
pause, Horsham endeavoured to plant a heavy bit, but 'Brown
broke ground in good style ; Horsham rushed in, made a slight
hit or two, and bored Brown to the ropes, when, after some ex-
changes in struggling for the throw, Brown went doivn under-
most.—" Bravo, Young Sparrow-grass I" from the market coy*—
" Shake it out of him!" _ _ _

2. Horsham gave some Pepper-alley touches, but they were
random shots. He also bored Brown again to he ropes, when
the Gay Market Boy wig It, but be got Brown down. Five to
four on the latter.

E. The Sprig of Myrtle now began to spew his superiority by
isc46ing his opponent and getting away. He also put in a wisty
ceder on the ribs; but the strength of Horsham enabled hini to
throw Brown out of the ropes, and he also fell down himself.
4. This round made Brown the favourite (seven to four). In
closing, the Sprig fibbed his opponent in the Randall style ; and
when tired of hammering he got Horsham down.—" The West-
minster boys were all in the stirrups," and they now offered to
sport their blunt like waste paper.
5. Horsham came up to the scratch an altered man, from the
severe liMing he bad received in the last round, which the old
Westminster Champion, Caleb Baldwin, called a " bit of good
truth I" The skill here displayed by Brown was admirable ; be
manouvred about till he got his opponent with the sun on his
face, when be planted a nobber, and got away. Horsham, how-
ever, put in some heavy hits, till both went down.
6. In struggling at the ropes, in a most singular manner, both
of the combatants, like two tumblers, went heels over head..
7. Horsham 'hewed good game, but.he depended upon his
rushing qualities. He missed his aim, and Brown nabbed him
severely, till both went down.
8,8, 10, 11, 18, 15, 14. In all these rounds Brown more or
leas took the lead; but Horsham was too hardy to be beaten off-
hand : the face of the latter was by this period terribly punished,
and his eyes were rather damaged.
15, 16,17, Vt. Three and four to one had been offered by the
Westminster buys, but this was thought to be a sort of flourish ;
however Brown, like a careful experienced miller, kept taking
the lead, yet doing nothing rxst.y. Horsham was still strong,
and endeavoured to bore Brown down.
19. Something like a wrangle was tried on; but the umpires
would not have it ; and " Foul, foul !" was lustily called out, as
well as opposed by Fair, fair 1" In struggling at the ropes,
Brown got his man nearly down, and would have dropped him,
I but Horsham kept hitting up at his opponent, and would not quit

his hold.—A guinea to a crown.
20. Horsham was exhausted, andajain received severe punish-
meat, till botk went down.
21,'28, 93. Horsham gave his head, and Brown made the

Most of it, He changed the complexion of his oppOnestis fen
quicker than a painter could.
24. " Foul!' " Fair!" similar to the-19th round. " It's aft,

25, 26. The road to Pepper-alley, by Brown; and no Tarn-

27. A severe counter-hit, that almost gave the St. Vitus's dance
to both of their nobs. Brown here also punished him down, and
" Foul !" and " Fair !" were again resorted to.
28th and last. It was all over with Horsham, and he only
came to the scratch to nap it. Brown dropped him in easy style,
and when time was called, be could not leave the knee of his se-
cond.—lt was over in thirty-five minutes.
Rirstaiuts.—Rough contalatters, however good streeters they
may be, must not attempt to meddle with the out-awl-esst Sprig
of Myrtle; it is only such a fine fighter as Curtis that can beat
Brown. Horsham is a game, good little man ; but he has no
scientific points about him. eis too fond of rushing in : such a
mode may do in a turn-srp, but in the Prize Ring it will not
answer. He was terribly punished about the bead, while Brown
had not a scratch upon his face.
The sports of the day closed with Dog-fighting. Pritchard's
Rnwsty•ttres, and some of the best English breed of Bull-dogs that
were ever seen, 'hewed upon this occasion. The Fancy were all
in raptures at the fineness of the day and the goodness of the
sport, and the company separated in the most polite manner.

A Duel was fought at Woolwich, on Monday, be-
tween two Officers of the Artillery, ♦iz. Captain S.
and Captain A. in which the former was wounded in
the foot. The cause was neither love nor jealousy,
the two fruitful sources of cases of this kind. It ori-
ginated in a difference of political sentiments between
the parties.

Raanuu FA MOM—One of the prettiest Bowers that has
yet appeared for Lengthantp, is a large rose, of which each leaf
is edged w►da a colour of the rainbow. As it was last season at
Longehastp, so it is this ; that if at kast the flowers of the hat
are not made suitable to the silk or gauze of which the hat is
composed, that the ribbons must be m. Broad ribbons are much
wont, *ostly of striped gauze with a deep fringe at the ends.
Although the variety of these ribbons is great, yet ribbons of
striped tulle have the preference. The most novel trimming fee
&asses is composed of two rows of demi-crowns ; this trimming
Is disposed in a zig-zag form. These demi-crowns are formed
either of silk, gauze, or blond ; they have the appearance of very
beautiful rosettes. Roasted coffee colour is the colour most iu
vogue for Gentlemen's coats ; they have a black collar.

A letter from Washington, of the 30th of March,
says:—" Mr. leitmotivs, the late British Chargé
d'Affaires, left this city yesterday morning, to em-
bark at New York, on his return to England, fi.,r the
purpose of taking his seat in the House of Comrr on .
It is but justice to say of him, that his public:deport-
ment, during his residence here, has been urbane and
respectful to the Government and the Public, and li-
beral in society."
Dear and important as Blackstone's Commentaries
ought to be to every Englishman, whether in or out
of civil employment, yet the original work is too
bulky for general perusal ; and its worth is, conse-
quently, lost to the Public. To obviate this objection,
the late Mr. GIFFORD, the Magistrate, made such a
condensation of its contents, as to bring every useful
principle and doctrine of the Work into the compass
of a single Volume; adapted at once to the perusal
of all who desire, at mature age, to understand the
Laws and Constitution : and to the use of Schools,
where this subject ought to form part of every course
iof liberal Education.

Wednesday se'nnight, about twelve o'clock, up-
wards of fifty armed men attacked the house of
Charles Sullivan, near the Finds of Lifford, County
of Limerick, and, having broken the thatch, gained
an entrance; others of the party broke down the wall
of the house, and fired several shots through the win-
dows and doors. Sullivan was dragged out and
much beaten in the head, and the party having taken
a pistol, sword, and bayonet, with above five pounds-
in money, left the house, and proceeded in search of
fire-arms to other places in the same neighbourhood,
The same gang visited the house of Mrs. Bennet, at
Rutland, and, after searching all the rooms for arms,
they went off without doing any mischief. Some
other houses on the Ballinaurra road were also en-
tered in search of arms the same night.
Coax &CHANGE, MARX-LAIR, APRIL fa— A very large qu; c-
tity of Wheat remained over from Monday's supply, for which
there was no demand this morning: prices, therefore-, may be
considered nominally as en Monday. The inferior qualities of
Barley are unsaleable, and even prime samples were with cliff-
culty got off at Monday's prices. The Oat trade continues ex-
ceedingly heavy, and what few sales were made to-day, were
at an abatement of Is. per quarter. Beans are also rather lower.
In Peas and other articles no alteration.
