PUGILISM IN IRELAND.—The battle between La:,
gan and Kearney, orrwhich considerable beta were
defending, came on on Monday, in the mountains of
the county of Dublin, near Saggard, in a 21. feet e-
It is supposed that there could not be less than 1%1
spectators on the ground. Both men sheaved acv_
ing to appointment at half-past ten o'clock, but from
the pressure of the crowd, and the gteat irregular'
it was half-past eleven o'clock before the ring ci
be formed. At twelve o'clock Langan entered
ring, with Plunket for his second ; shortly
Learner entered, accompanied by Cummins
second; both of the men were loudly cheered,
at 15 minutes past 12 the combatants set-to.
Round 1. Kearucy went up to his man with much conflth
Langan appeared cautious, and waited for his opponent to
lap; here two minutes elapsed, when Kearney made play
his It ft hand rather out of distance, when a sharp rally
place, in which Langan received a right-handed facer, wl
floored him.

Y. Langan, not in the least dismayed, made play with his
band: after a smart rally, in whirls several severe blows w
atehanged at half-arm distance, Kearney came to the ground.
5. Kearney appeared fatigued from the last round; La g.;#
drew first blood; Kearney still gay and confident, commenced
a sharp rally, in which both closed ; Langan got his left anr
round Kearney's neck, and gave him several very severe bits
the body.
At this moment Keamey's second struck Langan',
second a dreadful blow, which floored him instant')
The Saggard men rushed forward and broke the rings
knocked down Langan, and slated all before them;
dreadful scene of confusion took place, which it wouli
be impossible to describe ; after some time a degree
order was restored, when the Judges agreed to refer ti
matter to a future decision. The, fancy separated
great dudgeon, but the general opinion was, that '
the battle gone on, Langan would have had an easy
customer. A great deal of fighting took place durir
tbe procession of the amateurs to town ; there w 7
however, more of the cudgel than the fist used,
there was not a small quantity of dm rt spilled. Massy
challenges took place, and we have very little doubt
~but that there w ill be not a few of thejancy in then.
cery before nest term, on account of this battle,
to a large amount, with great odds. have been
feted nn the side of Langan, against my man of
weight, to fight on the CP.; ragli.
