Boxrm.—FLIGHT, DISAPPOINI MEN C,

in the new order of tiangs, fighting seems to have
additional attraction, if • ••! may 'page al the num-
ber who flock to the ring ; we racier suppose the
depres.;on of the timestome-;.es ns re cinnabar, who
have ii,abiog else to do, than ill it the amateurs of
boxing are becoming mere numerous.
J indall, a scientific Hibernian, an I West aunt-y
11,,Z, a bustling hardy fig:ner, were to have con-
, ,n,f,rl yesterday on 'Twickenham Common, to fight
triafell which was prevented by alisappoost-
ment at 11.:ye.s. on Wednesday. Twenty thousand
perons were attracted together upon 'this occasivo,
half of whom were disappointed.
Previously to the arrival of the pirlailists cr tae
Commander-in-Chief, the troops tsar,{ in close
an enemy appeared, in the persol of a Ciergym in
and a Magistrate. He addressed himself ro kich.
mond, the Black, and Harry Harmer, ar.A said,
that a conference had been held arroyst the Ma-
gistrates, had come to a determination :o sup-
press such meetings in that Coon!), ; the Niar'iStt ate
added, " I have con•oe here alone." In ans,ver to
which he wa, infOrraed, that his mandate should 9e
obeyed, and he was as safe as under fie protection
of a regiment of hussars.
The ropes and stakes were removed and conveyed
to Twickenham, where the Cemmander.in-Qhiet bi-
vouacked. The Marshals, however they respected
the cloth of the Clergy, had come out for full, and
they were not to be disappointed. Hayes was fixed
upon again, and General Gibbons, Aide-de-Camp
to the Great Captain, moved on thither, his rear
covered by the Marshals Cribb, Harmer, Richmond,
Scroggins, and others. A sort of Corporal. belong-
ing to the Miners, gave out that a bivovasiing party
had committed such slaughter, and levied such heavy
contributions by surprise, alter sun-set, on a late oc-
caaion, that a fight at Hayes again was out of the
question. ‘Vimbledon Common was named, and the
cavalcade to Hayes had mustered strong, and as
many started for Wimbleden. The best judges,
however, stuck to the Commander, and there was
no certainty but in crossing the river to Monlsey
Hurst, where about one-third of the persons assembled.
A ring was formed in the best manner it coulrf-...
Commissary Gibbons being in waiting at Hayes.
Rings were formed at the three placer, Wiinb:edon
Common, Moulsey, and Hayes, and the foraging
parties under the Commissary were on active duty in
dlliag the waggons at each place. It was past two
when tie men entered the ling on Nloulsey Hurst.

another good hit. Dick ran :n wi:b seeming determination to
do mischief, but Randall had length and science upon him, and
he was again hit down-3 and 4tol on Randal!.

Randall got hold of him with the left hand and worked away
with his right, until tired, and he disposed of him at his own
pleasure, by ertog him 3.heavy fall. It was a lime to a hen ;
there were no takers of odds, and u would be only a r.a.u.ne.s
to detail every romal.

was kept in a state of stupefaction, without having had one turn.
9. Dick made some manly play, and it.oidall had fought kiln-
self tired. A smart rally tdbk, place, at the end of w6t.o Dick
went down weak, and he received a foul Lit, but it was t:ua-
voidable in the heat of following op Itha.s aud the era
settled by the decision of the untrue;.
Until the 15th round 1)4:k stood up only to revive, and with
a head so much disfigured, 131:tZell Nat, of Holy. Land, would
not bare kuowu him. Ex plaited his hit again whit the r glut

'to pursue the description further could be 1:0 interest to
the reader who is fowl of the spurts. Dick fought on, trymd
some chances; but he only stood up tujeceive, and in the Sat
round he received a h, airy right-handed Lit iii the wbid, as it is
termed, or, inure plainly, at the fifth Inman-hole, wl.:.h sank.'
hint, aid mite was called in vain, for Dick took a nap, aster a tut:.
tifying fight of 35 minutes, tu which lie never could cur., it.
OusERVATIONS.=Phis kind:ill II A very elegant
fighter, but not a tremendous hitter. His style is
that of the late O'Donnell, nice precision in hitting,
and a skilful judge of 'measurement. Dick i► a sort
of ruin:ming tighter, who will have things his own way
with a novice, who is not able to stop lets right hand,
which tells hard when he can [Lent his blows; but
he was aut.:eh:need, and he could not moven muscle
without attracting time notice of Lis adversary, who
had strength to himself of his knowledge. .
A ►econd battle wee fought between the
Jew, and Jock the 13afc•lter. .1 purse was collected
tor the prize. Atter a cr.ritest of only seventeen
minutes, the butcher was so completely served-cbt,
that he resigned all pretensions to victory. Blase...a

And Turner are to contend.
IS was laughable to see the disappointed prow.;
making towards the seat of action, when those who
were 11l luck were retu:nirg trout it, and the pedes-
