SPORTING.—The Cranbourne Chace Fox Hounds •
had on Wednesday last one of the finest runs ever
known in the chace. They found, late in the day, in
West Walk ; the scent at first bad, but after some sain
falling, it got better, and the fox being pressed, took
to the Downs, near Fortmell, sunk the vale tnbutton
and Iwern, where being checked by a shepherd, he .
returned to the cheer by Sir ARTHUR PAGZT'S Ledge,
passed at the head of Gurtville parish, through the
woods by Ashmore, to the Downs again, and _took
over the whole length of the Wind-greens, through
Ashcombe to Rushmore ; and taking a turn there,
broke away again by Brichnore, back to Ashmore se
again, where be went to earth, after it was dark. He
was supposed to have run more then SO miles. All ; •
the hounds were together on .the genet ;. and ;he
sportsmen in at the last were, General Caosav, Mr.
BAKEIVELL Paasotes, the Rev. Messrs. GROVR and •
NAPIER, and the huntsman and whipper•ie.
POOILISSI.—The amateurs of pugilism muetered in
'full strength yesterday, at St. George's-row, Pad-
dington, where two battles took place for 44 guineas •
each, with an addition of subscription purses. The ,
candidates who tirsuset-to, were Spicer, xecostermon-
ger, one of Caleb Baldwin's pupils, and a ten-stone
Black of reported courage. Caleb Baldwin seconded
Spicer, and Richmond did the sane by the Bleck.-es •
In the first round the Black nearly closed one of his
adversary's eyes, but he had strength against him,
and it prevailed after a battle of h ilf an hour, with a
good deal of punishment on both ides.
A second battle took place between Maddox and
Cottrell. €ottrell has fought twenty-six battles, and
never was beaten but by Horton; who was beaten r;y
Crib ; and Maddox has fought even oftener, and in •
his best day stood high on the list. This battle lasted
35 minutes, during which the combatants were fully
employed. Maddox pursued his system of going in
milling, and Cottrell retreated and hit with both
hands, with considerable force; Maddox was at length
compelled to give in by loss of strength.
A third battle took place between two strangers.
PROVINCIAL BoxtNo.—A most sanguinary battle
for 100 guineas, and a subscription purse of twenty,
was fought on Monday, in the presence of :in immense
concourse of spectators, at Hazely Common, Hants,
between an Oxfordshire man of the name of Wood-
cock, and -a professional bruiser of fame. in the
county of Somerset, of the name.of Tring, who was
backed by Captain Hicks. In the first round, which
lasted four minutes, Tring was knocked down after a
dreadful' conflict, and the two subsequent rounds were
as courageously niaintained with reciprocal advantage.
In.the fourth round both the combatants were blind,
but they fought in that state twenty nunetes, when
Tring got a broken jaat, and was beat nearly lifeless.
'lt was strength opposed tb science, and the former
prevailed. A bull-bait and a back-sword match fol-
lowed the battle,
Tim Scots EXCISEMAN.-•-Some time ago, the
ciseman of a Scots village, having drank rather freely,
fell asleep on his way home, and was found next mor-
ning, almost lifeless from cold, by some colliers ring
to their work, who, whether from motives of humanity,
or to gratify a waggish disposition we know not, carried
him with them to the bottom of the pit, where, lean.
ing him to his repose, they commenced their labour.
After some time he awoke, utterly at a loss to disco
ver where he was ; but filled with horror at the dark.
ness that surrounded him—the noise of the water
running in every direction—and the glimmering of
lights at a distance, by which he U.:li enabled to dis-
cover, at intervals, figures that bore a resemblance to
the human form ; these were both male and female,
and =making, As the colliers generally do, with very
short pipes, there appeared, to the imagination of the
terrified wight,to issue from their mouths and nostrils
volumes of fire and smoke. In fact, he was setioesly
impressed with an idea, that the Sent, inc •
De'irs awa' v.i' the Exciseman," had been verified
in his case, and that he had! arrived in the In-
fernal Regions. On being asked by, as-he supposed,
one of the imps of his Satanic Majesty, what he was
he replied with great. trepidation-e•" Ohl I was a
gauger i'the ither warld,but I diona ken what I'm to
be in this!" . • •
