BOXING.

The match between Fred. Strong, the Hampshire Blacksmith,
and the new Black, from Baltimore, whom fame hadmpresented
a. the rival of the celebrated Molineux, took place yesterday,
early in the morning, on Burnham Spa, in the Forest, nine
riles from Farnham • and at so early as six in the morning,
groupes had assembled to witness the great combat. Fred.
Strong was a tried good ruffian, with a hide like a bullock's.
Nun, the Black, had mewled the blocks of the block-makers on
the coast of Hants; and a purse of twenty-five guineas was col-
lected, to try, with a good one how he liked receiving. He is
under thirteen stone, but of Ajax make, and a natural fighter
with the left hand, straight and strong, and with which he bad
flattened many a Yankee's smeller. The ring was open, and
there was no shifting. Strong was seconded by Young Bell-
horse, and the Black was seconded by Gee, a caulker.
Rumen 1. In this round, the Black threw out his straight left-
hand at the head, and followed over, and awkwardly, with the
light; which shewcd that the left only was the mischievous one.
Strong, the lightest man, broke his ground, availing himself of
the Black's short blows, and the latter fell upon his face with
the force of his strength, which bled his nose.
it. This was a gay fighting round, which lasted-sixteen minutes
before either would go down. Strong received a flush hit on
the forehead with the Black's left hand, which sounded like a
hollow surface, and hit him away. On advancing again, he fought
first, and placed a rattling hit upon the Black's jaw, which
loosened the,railing. The Black steadied himself for Ills left-
handed blow, but it was moaly avoided; and when so, Strong's
right hand told, for his left was of as little use as the Black's
right. They rallied each other to a stand-still, and Strung Iralb
thrown heavily.
5. Strong's right eye was bunged up, and be, as well as the
bled freely, and were piping aloud, when two .142:ay
Raws appeared, with staves like hop-poles, to make peace; but
tha symbols of authority were used to press the people back,
and the Justices' assistants seated themselves during the fight.
&mil changed his aystc ne of fighti; g, and that alone won him
the battle. The Black hit short, and received a heavy body
blow which floored him, and put his fighting on one side.

4. Strong was thrown in a dose.
L. A manly rallying round was fought, and both were hit
d:i.t.k. The Black was again fincrcd by a right-handed
Lit in the throat, which dropped his head ou his shoulder, as if
fur goad.
6. 7, alld 8. The Black's hands were down, and his left-handed
punishit g was done with, and he seemed doubled up by the
body hit in the third round.
9th and last. Both staggering from weakness, until Strong un-
muzrled, let loose with the right hand at the body, floored his
salversary again, and won the fight. Mackie's second said,
" erough," or Strong's soon must.
The battle lasted forty-two minutes, and was a good fight,
but then was a want of science to assist manhood.

EXTR AOll DIN ARY BOXING MATCII.
White Conduit Fields, the scene of many s hard-fought bat-
tle, was on Monday morning last the eceldama of as singular a
fight as was ever yet recorded in the annals of pugilism. Milo,
from St. Giles's, and liPearty, from Saffrou-bill, were the com-
batants, and the following are the extraordinary circumstances
which led to the battle. Such of our Readers as have spent any
time in Ireland, must have noticed the influence of that feudal
spirit, which to this day exists between particular clans of the
Irish peasantry. It often happens that the residents of two
parishes (in some parts one p: rich comprises an extent of eight
or ten miles) are at actual war with each other; and although,
as individuals, they behave with the greatest friendship, yet at
fairs, or wakes, where of necessity they assemble in large bodies,
they seldom part without bloodshed ; and it is no uncommon
thing for 'SOO or 1000 men to be engaged in these broils. On
some such occasion Miles met the father of his present oppo-
rent, who was then stricken in years, whilst Miles was a young
ntiar ; but as he had formerly espoused the cause of that faction,
which was hostile to the friends of the latter, he was deemed a
flir foe, and war was made on him accordingly; the poor old
war. was beaten to a degree, that if it did not cause his imme-
diate death, at least accelerated it ; but before he expired be
sent for Miles, and asked him if he would fight his son (his pre-
sent opponent, who was then only five years old), when he
should come to man's estate? Miles complied, and a written
agreement was drawn up, and respectively signed for each party.
In a few years afterwards, Miles found it to his advantage to
come to England, and in this country be has since remained.
bi‘Carty, in the meantime, grew up a stout young man, awl,
considering himself religiously' bound to fulfil his father's last so-
Itrin covenant, he came to England also; he easily traced out
Tdiles, who did not wish to swerve from the terms of his agree-
ment, although lie felt that the ruthbas band of time had ces-
tzinly not improved his condition. The sun of six guineas Was
posted as an additional stake, and at six o'clock on Monday
morning the men met, each attended by a chosen second. At
the commencement, the odds were greatly in favour of M'Carty,
who possessed length, strength, youth, and every other requisite.
He had the fight all his own way, and in the eleventh round
Miler gave in,.being much punished, whilst his opponent was so
fresh, that he ran a mile in four minutes and a half, for the
Nding bet of five shillings, and won. Nearly 3,000 Irishmen
ero present at the fight, who afterwards dispetsed peaceably.

A gentleman of the name of SAITY, from Lin-
colnshire, was struck with apoplexy whilst at the
ball at Harrowgate, last week, which deprived him
of speech and motion ; dancing, of course, imme-
diately ceased. Mr. SAXTY died at his lodgings
three days after.. i
