MONUMENT TO THE LATE KING.

Yesterday afternoon a Meeting of the Subscribers to
the Fund for erecting a Monument to George 111. was
held at the Thatched Horse Tavern, St. James's, to
consider the steps necessary to be adopted in the pre-
sent state of affairs.
Lord ICZNYON was called on and took the Chair.
Mr. BLZADV4, the Honorary Secretary, then read a
Report, drawn up by the Committee appointed to pro-
mote the object proposed, of their proceedings since
the last General Meeting, in 185:2. The principal fact
stated in that Report was, that 5001. had been granted
to Mr. Wyatt, to complete a model of the Equestrian
Statue originally proposed to be elected. The amount
of subscriptions received and iove,ted in India Bonds
was 3,0191. 17). 10i. There were also 2,5001. subscribed,
but not called. The amount of debts now to be dis-
charged was 5801. 16s. 3d.
In the course of a long desultory conversation, it ap-
peared that Mr. Wyatt had finished the models of the
horses intended to form part of the monumental trophy.
His present Majesty had seen them, and had expressed
his high admiration of the workmanship. The causes of
the delay are said principally to be the limited amount
of the money already subscribed. Some division of
opinion also, it seems. arose on the suggestion of a de-
ceased Royal Personage to have the work open to com
petition. The Report just lead to the Meeting stated
that the design originated with Mr. Wyatt, who, of
course, was called upon to undertake the work.

A SU/SCRUM asked, whether the proposed monu-
ment had been given up?
Colonel Titettcn answered, that nothing had been
decided on as to this point.
The CHAIRMAN said, it became necessary that they
should know what amount of money they could com-
mand. If sufficient funds were not raised to erect a
monumental trophy suitable to the late King, and
which the public expected would be extremely noble,
they had better give up the design altogether, and re
turn the subscriptions.
Mr. JUDAH thought it neees4ary that a Committre
should be appointed, which was agreed to. He also ,
moved Resolutions to the effect that the subscribed
sums be collected, and the total amount of receipts be
laid before a General Meeting.
Mr. Wyatt was then called in, and stated, in answer
to a question, that the proposed Monument would cost
upwards or 30,0001. He had a claim on the subscrip-
tions of 3001. which he had expended in prosecution of
the work intrusted to him.
After some further conversation, it was ultimately
agreed that full details should be drawn up, and laid
before another General Meeting in June. Thanks were
returned to the Noble Chairman, and the Meeting
adjourned.

FIGHT BETWEEN 808 CASTLES AND PADDY
PLYNN, FOR TWENTY-FIVE POUNDS A SIDE.

This fanciful affair took place yesterday on Colacy
Heath, about three miles from South Mimms, when.
contrary to all the calculations of 'the 4. knowing ones,'
Castles Came off second best, and the hero of the
Holy Land," Paddy Flynn, was triumphant.
Castles, upon this occasion, made his first appearance
in the London Ring ; but he had established his cha-
racter for milling qualities so decidedly, by repeated
sparring exhibitions in the Tennis Court, Minor
Theatre, and elsewhere, that he was backed against
Flynn at five, six, and even seven to four. A further
ground of their confidence was, the report of the
very 'lathing manner in which he had polished off a big
youkel of the name of Bayley, neat Portsmouth. Sub-
sequent to this latter affair, however, he had been con-
fined in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, from an inflamma-
tion in his left eye, the sight of which was only preserved
by the most unremitting attention of the surgeons of
that establishment ; and even when the match was
made for him with Flynn, there was still a visible
speck on the iris of the affected organ. From this he
stated that he felt no inconvenience ; and having gone

' into active training, he hid so f.r improved in her! h
and strength that he booked Me defeat of Ftysin as so
certainty—a feeling in winch limbo who had had opp.n.
tunities of judging of the scientific accitiiien.ents of but'
fully participated. The only doubt which existed was
that Paddy's constitution and powers of " wear. ind
tear" would enable him to outlast his antagonist, and
thus give him a chance; a doubt which, in the end.
proved well founded, and, combined with the actual
defects of Castles, ctowned Paddy with victory. •
At one o'clock the mtn entered the sing—Castle.
attended by Tom Oliver and Young Dwell Sam; and
Flynn by Harry Holt and Harry Jones. On stripping.
the comparison of condition was manifestly in favour of
Flynn, who looked fresh and vigorous; while Castles.
although taller, and showing mcre muscle and finer
points, had the appearance of being chilled by the nip.
ping blasts, and from a constant blinking in his ogles,
many were led to fear that his vigour would not prove
so lasting as had been anticipated. Notwithstanding
the opportunities that were thus afforded of. judging of
the physical requisites of the men, Castles was btill a
sttong favourite, and 7 to 4. upon him were repeatedly
tef used.

THE FIGHT. •
Round I. In this round little was done, Paddy kept his hands
well up, and Castles was unabl? to plant a decided hit. He con-
trived, however, to put in a couple of slight jobs with his left, and
in the close Paddy was flung.
4. Both cautious—Castles made a couple of fein's, but Paddy was
awake, and was not twin thrown off his guard; at last Castles hit
out with his left, and closed. Paddy then tried his hand at in-fight-
ing, and planted a right-bander on Castles's weak ogle, which was
instantly filled with wafer. A violent struggle followed for the
throw, in which Castles proved the strunger,and Paddy was dropped
on his head. On'getting on his'second's knee, Castles showed firs;
blood from a slight scratch on the side of hit nose.

5. Castles again popped in his left, but it was observed that he hit
open-handed, and Paddy smiled. After a short pause Pat rushed
in; another violent struggle, in which both fell heavily..

4. Castles blinking with his left eye. P.iddy kept at a respect-
ful distance, but at length Castles got within his point, and jobbed
with his klt. More sparring, when Paddy tried to throw in his
left, but he was prettily stopped. Paddy now determined to go to
work, and rushed in ; hit, were exch.inged right and left, and in the
close both went down.

S. Castles again stopped Pat's left, and went to bit, but Paddy
gut away and his blow! fell short. Castles, resolved tube with hint,
Rushed in, but Paddy fell on his knees and laughed.

6. Pat popped in his left on Castles's srnelkr. Castles countered,
but his blow fell on Pat's shoulder. Pat rd-bed to a close, and
Castles pulled him down upon him.
7. Mutual stopping. At length Pat got in, placed a nasty one on
Castles's nose, and drew his cork (shouts from the St. Giles' buys).
Castles fought rather wild, and his left band was obviously opens
In the close, however, be contrived to pull Paddy down. .
8. Castles, after waiting and measuring his distancshvell, popped
in his right on Paddy's left eye. Paddy at once closed, and both
tried to fib; a struggle ensued for the fail, when Pat threw Castles
a clever cross-buttock (more shouts front the limerald lads).
9. On coming to the scratch, it was seen that Pat bad caught it
on the snorter, and it was a tie in the claret lime. Sparring for some
time, when Pat jobbed his man on the frontal bone • mutual stop-
ping, and neither within proper distance ; at last Gstles rushed in
and pulled Pat on-his knees.
10. Pat ?gain down on his knees.
11. Castles on the defensive; stopped well with his right,but did
not counter as he ought. A rally, and some will in-fighting, when
Pat was thrown, but Castles fell heavily himself from his exertion
le. Pat again received a compliment on the sneerer, and bled
profusely; Castles hit out of distance; Pat rushed to a rally, when
Castles caught him round the neck with his left, and bit up well
with his right-finishing the round by dropping his man.
13. Castles caught a heavy slap on the right eye, and rushed is
to punish, as in the last; but Pat " would nut have it," and dreppcd
front his grasp.
14. Pat now, in turn, caught a touch on his ogle, and his left
" look-out" began to swell. l'at rushed in; but in the effort for
the fall, finding Castles the stronger, he again went dow—(murniers
from the friends of Castles).
15. Pat cautious, kept our, Bob followed round the ring, and at
last jobbed him with his left on the right eye. Good in-fighting,
and Castles had him right abd left on the nob. In the clow Paddy
was thrown.
16. Good stopping on the part of Cates with his right ; l.ut Lis
returns were not effective, and his left ham' was cootiuu.lly open in
hitting. A rally, in which some blows were exchanged, and Castles
was thrown, weak.

17. The superior freshness of Flynn was now obvious, and be was
the favourite at 6 to 4.
18. Castles, after a pause, went in to fight Pat was ready; a
good rally followed in favour of I'at, who jobbed Castles seat ral
times in the mug both right and left. Rob was nut idle, and at
length dropt his man with a left•hantled jobber.
19. Castles again jobbed with his left, and Paddy's left winker
was fast closing. Castles stopped a well•intentled visit to hiS tight
eye ; and returned right and lett, the latter blow catching Pat in the
throat, and sending him back against the ropes. lie preserved his
perpendicular, however, and again came to work. Castles met
him, but was weak, and in the eose both went down.
. _

20. (Two to 1 on Flynn, froth his apparent fresbne,s). Pat
planted his left, after one or two stops. A good rally, ai d
change of hits. In the close, both down heavy.
21. A bustling round, in which heavy hit, were exchanged. In
the end Castles fell; both weak, but Castles the worst.
22. Castles jobbed with his left, and after some returns of com-
pliments, Bob again put in a throat hit with his left ; but it was nut
effective. In the close Castles itruggled for the fall ; but Pat gave
him his leg, and threw bins cleverly. •
In the 234 and 24th rounds both men were weak, and little mis-
chief was done; it the end of both Paddy went down, to avoid ex-
hausting his remaining strength in the struggle. To this Castles'
friends strongly objected as unfair ; but Paddy smiled, knowing
that be was playing the " old soldier."
25. Pat now turned his attention to Castles 's body, and popped

in his left on his ribs; but Castles was not quick enough to ..7.tie the
ripening at his nob. A good manly rally, but in the end Cocks was
thrown heavily, Paddy upon him.
ff. Bob hit uut tight and left, but the distance was ill-judged.

His left hand was still open, while his right trembled, eiihrr from
cold or injury. Paddy ►aw his time, went in, and hit Castle.
up with his right. Castles broke away, but returned to huiiness
and the lighting on both sides was good. In the end Paddy was
Soured.

It would be tedious to pursue the details Of the rounds further;
both men continued to tight game to the last, though getting gra-
dually weaker. Castles kept out as much as possittle to gala his
wind, and certainly got a little better; but the superior stamina of
Paddy enabled torn to come stronger to the scratch. In the 34th
round each was blind of an eye; but to the surprise of all. Castkes
" maser" eye was the last to fail. This, however, began to get
queerer every round; and Paddy's seconds string that the strawn
had arrived for bringing the contest to a conclusion, lent him in to
finish, and in four more round}, although Bob made a gnat 1, uand,
he was hit compktely blind, not having the slightest glimmer of
light left. In this state the poor fellow, although abk to have con-
tinued the fight in point of strength, said be could not fight any
more, and the hat of victory was throwu up in favour of Paddy.
The fight lasted an bout and eight minutes.
REMARKS.
The good judges were all floored by this result.
There was, in fact, no comparison between Bob's sparr-
ing and his fighting. It was considered that he could
have jobbed Paddy blind in the early part of the fight.
but in this he failed—first, from his hitting with Iris left
band open, and from neglecting to take advantage of
opportunities which were offered him. In tact, as a
pugilist, he has much to learn ; and from being beaten
,ly Flynn, who is a ly a natural fighter, although pos-
sessed of sound bottoin and a good constitution, for the
present he must tank very humbly in the minds of the
Milling Critics. He fought, however, throughout with
unshaken courage, and Undoubtedly did his best.
Paddy Flynn, by this second victory, has mounted still
higher in the grade of etcellence, and will now look
out for some of the top sawyers. The weight of the
men was nearly thirteen stone each. The punishment
was pretty equal ; but when Castles left the ring he
could not tell friend froth foe. Flynn's right hand was
much puffed early in the fight, but he continued to use
it to the last.
