BLISSETT AND PADDY FLYNN, FOR £25 A-SIDE:
The 6Aht between Ifies,! men took place yesterday.
and although the stakes were small, the event excited
some interest. The toss f. r choice of place of meeting
hiving been won by the backers of lllimit. Srrepperton
Range was named as the piiint of relslezvoti.. Upon
inquiry, however, it was found that the beaks in that
quarter were a little fastid• , and it was therefote de.
ter mined to is change the venue," and the neighbour.
hood of Winkfield Plain, lierks, was chosen as less
likely to attract the attention of the Anti-Pugilistic. "
Dee notice of this change was given to both parties,
and they proceeded with' all' pos-ible dispatch to the
new ground. Tom Oliver arid his assistant's had pre.
viously received " the (Ace," and w.th their accus.
corned quickress, formed the ring in a meadow in the
parish of Ili field, not fa: om the sput n which NI:al
a rd Bildwin, on a firmer occasion, commenced their
fistic operation.. Here an excellent ring. surrounded
by waggons, was rosined ; but the assemblage
teurs was any thing but nioneroushe Metropolitans
broking the contest i f min r consequence. It wa. half.
past two before both men reached the ground; and at
this time tbe assemblage riot amount to five hundred
persons.
Little time was lost in settling preliminaries. and in
a few minutes the contending patties made their ar.
pearance; Blissett attended by Tom Spring and Reuben
Martin, aod Paddy Flynn by H ory Holt and Harry
Jones. 03 stripping both appeared in excellent con-
dition, but 44 pull" war evidently in favour of Bli•sett,
who was taller, heavier. and more musculir than his
opponent. In fact, so high was he in favour that the
odds were 7 to 4 and 2 to' in his favour, of which th re
were few takers.

• TIIK FIGHT.
_ At twenty minutes to three the mill commenced, when it was
soon perceived that 13.14bett h.d the advantage its out fighting, and
he succeeded in planting Isis right Lad left an Paddy's nob with
great force. Paedy, however, was not to be alarmed by trifles,
and he rushed in with great bravery. Nissen opposed these rushes
with a degree of CAUtiAll which his superiority in milling requisites
did not seem to warrant ; in fact,be welt down repeatedly to ay..id
ptinislument, and in consequence elicited from the.. e. ti'. r. a good
deal of disapprobation ; still he came up in gaol order, And suc-
ceeded sit hitting his min with great severity in the head attd body,
and had obviously the best of the fight. In the 38,h round. bow.
ever, in getting away, he fell an hi 4 back, and while in slim position
he kicked out with both kgs to present his opponent from falling
upon him. The mat:ceuvre at once produced a cry against hint as
being foul, and an appeal being made by the umpires to the referee,
he decided that the objection was well founded. Considerable
uproar followed, but the referee, who was perfectly inaphtial. per-
sisted in his opinion, and there being no Alternative, Flynn, who
bad the worst of th;game, was taken out of the ring by his seconds,
who prudeMly resolved to take advantage of the °ppm-11'mq svi,id,
was thus afforded them of getting out of their &acuity. In this
way the sport concluded.
Itast•aga.—Viewing the fight throughont, Blis ett,
from his physical powers, was defiiient in the firm. ess
and bravcty which he ought to hive shown, for had be
possessed mole decided nerve, he might have brought
the coi.test to an issue in one:half of the t me. Flynn
showed un hi inking courage, but his powers of punish-
ment %vete lim trd, and atilmugh I e succeeded its
planting some good !robbers, his blows wanted force,
and lett bed lit le impte.siiin. The fight lasteJ 50 min.

The letters were unusually late )esterdar in the de.
livery from the Nat Mice, in consequence of the &tan sr of the
reads in some parts. The Foreign l'o.t was also mock delayed
from the arrival of several ContinentA \hilt, independently of the
arrival of the Jamaica packet.
In contormity to a late order from the P. st-Master-
General, the twopenny post has been di continued to

and consequently Banwell and Wesionssupee-Mare are
put under the general delivery, and taxed accordingly,
to the no small inconvenience of the inhabitants of the
