THE LATE BOXING MATCH.
The following obserrations oa the great battle between Neer.
from Bristol, and HICKMAN. the Ga►tight Mee, are copied from
_ .

the Bristol Gentle of yesterday
•
" l'erhaps no fight ever exceeded this in stand-up manly hit-
ting—there was neither shifting, hugging, nor fibbing; it was all 1
in slash away, straight-forwafd blows; though consisting of 1,
nineteen rounds, it lasted but twenty-two minutes. Hickman
*hewed great spirit, and his backers were perfectly satisfied that
be did all he could do, but he stood no chance against the supe-
rior
power of heat, as long as the latter kept his excellent guard.
" It would be endless for us to attempt giving aU the neat
things that were said ; such as • l'e're all in darkness—the Gas
is out !'—• What's become of the Londoner's waggon to carry
home the Bristol solid ?—alluding, it is supposed, to a distin-
guished Loan-Contractor from town, who had sported gaily on
the occasion, and was reported to have said he would not leave
a Sovereign behind. One man, who stood near a celebrated
Jewish sportsman, who had backed Gas, called out when Hick-
man bkd profusely—' Moses, how will you ever get over that
Red Sea —What do Gas Shares sell for now?'—The following
was exhibited on a board by a boy on the road:
Bristol illuminated—London in darkness—The Gas extic-
gobbed by a Neat hand !'
" Two Bristol Boys, iisrek and Ferris, threw op their toppers,
and it was thought there would have been some play, but the
Fuld-Marskol prevented it.
" Such was the intense feeling excited in this city, that the
streets were crowded as if an election contest was at its height,
all eagerly enquiring the result, which was known here about
seven o'clock."

ROYAL TENNIS COURT.
inuiriek, the man of colour, took his Benefit at this place
yesterday ; and excepting the combat between Eales and his
pupil (Acton) nothing of any interest occurred. The Suffolk
Champion, who, it seems, had been spending the morning with
Mr. Lushinstint, after his arrival from Hungerford, mountei the
stage, and offered to fight Josh. Hudson, £5OO to £4OO, and
odd his money was ready. Ile had no objection to fight Bud•
son that evening, in a room, for £5O. Ile also wished to inform
the audience, that all the horses in the kingdom could not have
drawn Josh. Hudson into the ring at Hungerford on Tuesday
last, to have fought him—be would fight any 13 stone man in
the kingdom. This harangue was interrupted by Neat tusking
his appearance in the court. The amateurs gathered round him
almost to suffocation, when he was requested to ascend the stage,
in order that every one present might have a sight of kis person.
Neat cheerfully complied with this request, and, on making his
bow, he was received with three rounds of applause. He has not
the slightest mark about his face; but his left hand was in a
sling, his knuckles having been severely bruised from the heavy
hits he placed upon the head of his opponent.
Hickman arrived in town-on Wednesday night, and is much
better than might reasonably have been expected; and notwith-
standing the severe bruises he received in the contest, his mind,
it is said, iithe most hurt ! His backer, by way of consolation,
and also as a reward for his courage, presented him with a ,Cso
note, notwithstanding the heavy loss he had sustained.
Neat shessed at bickers on Wednesday night and on his
being introduced to the Ilgry Club, the President ordered an
extra go upon the occasion, to drink his health. Hundreds of
persons, on the preceding evening, were unable to procure seats
at the Castle Tavern, Holborn ; and last night it again over-
flowed—such interest has the above fight excited throughout the

Fancy.
The match is expected to be made in a few days between
Randall and Martha, for £3OO a-side; and a bet of 1000 gui-
nea,' even.
