NIGHT BIZTWZINAIoo A S RauenlDßl-Yt iIaRSTE RDATig AND YOUNG'
GAS FOR Y.

---- -
The ancient town of Havant, within nine miles of
Portsmouth, was appointed as the head-quarters of the
belligerent:l and thither they proceeded on Sunday, Ren-
ben Marren entrenching himself at the Dolphin, Young
Gas it the Bear, Harry Jones at the George, and Ike
podd at the Black Dag. The" office" was given through-
out the county of the intended treat, and the sensation
produced was of the most extraordinary description. MI
ranks seemed equally on the alert, and every topic of
discussion, save that of willing, was laid aside. In the
course of Monday the town of Havant overflowed with
visitors from the surrounding villages, anxious to take
a peep at the combatants, and bustle prevailed to a late
hour of the night; while those who had come from a
distance, and were desirous of accommodation near the
scene of action, found no small difficulty in obtaining
beds, which, from there being but five inns and public
houses in the town, were- only procured at high prices,
the lowest figure for a very inferior " Shake down"
being ss. Many of the Londoners proceeded on to
Portsmouth, or %topped at Chichester, and thus saved
themselves from the nailing system ; although, perhaps,
at some addition to their tratelling expenses.
Great pains had been taken to " make all right" with
respect to the place of meeting, and positive assurances
were given, that in Haling island, wh•ch is in the parish
of Bosmere, in the county of Southampton, and within
two miles of Havant, no interruption would take place.
The island is joined to the maid land by a wooden
bridge, on which the tolls are very expensive,. and.
therefore, this might be an additional inducement: to
give preference to such I Ipot ; but, from Swhatever
cause the preference arose, it was frustrated, as will
appear in the sequel, itithe most mortifying manner.
At an early bouilestirday'morning a few odd strag-
glers began va drop into' head quarters ; but the great
bu:k of the amateurs did not arrive till about eleven,
when a most lively and ehettful scene was ptesentbd.
Carriages of all descriptions, including many drawn by
four horses, tandems, curiiclea, landawi, baroucHes,
and gigs, came pouring into the town frotb every
diection—Postsmouth,• Chichester, Brighton, and
Southampton, all furnishing their contributions. Par-
ticular at ention la as atiraeted by one ;flash drag filled
with Corinthians, who were accompanied by key bugle
players, who infused the most lively sensations an ough-
oor the throng by playing " Hnyra, for the bonnets
o' blue," in good style; a tune particularly applicable to
the scene, as blue was the coloor both of Marten and
Gas, and this popular song was composed by Lee,
sun of Harry Lee, the celebrated pugilist. As it mined
our, however, harmony was not long to be the order of
the day ; for, as the patrons of the fistie art came like a
torrent from one end of the town, they were suddenly
stopped by the approach of Tom Oliver' Harry Holt,
Jac. Fobwick, Frosty-laced Fork sad Jack Clarke,
rushing from the othet-a-Abeir hautetnadltrg on end like
quills upon the firing porcupine,
_As if anxious to
escape the fate of Hairgierpthee, dint Atwater! to .seek
safety in flight from some horrific monster of the sea.
For a time all were brought to a stand-still, and thel
alarm became general ; but after a moment's pause and
explanation was obtained. It turned out, in fact, that
ahhougls there was nothing supernatural in the cause of
• their Hight, there was sufficient to justify their speety
roma. In plain terms, the " beaks," or rather the myr.

lour constables approached, and announced in a friendly
say that they were armed with authority to apprehend'
Reuben- 'Marten,,and his co-boxers, if they ventured to'
exhibit their talents in die hundred cf Bosmere; and'
thelef.re advised that some other scene might be chosen:
for their eaplaits. This was sufficietit ; and hence their
sudden return.to the place which they had left.
A Cosisell al War was immediately held at the Bear
inn Upon the coarse which it might be. prudent to adopt;
anti attervarious suggestions, it was resolved to proceed

his assistants, followed by the anxious multitude,. at a
round trot, set forward, giving additional evidence of
the extraordinary interest which such scenes are. cal-
culated to excite in she breasts of Englishmen. Nothing
could eiceed The regularity which prevailed in this
movement ea nwsse. No accident or disturbance oc-
crred,and all reached the appointed arena in good order.
The Stakes were soon pitched, an excellent ring was
formed, and, at a given signal, Marten and Gas, who
had come on the ground in carriages, each drawn by
four hoses, made their appearance at opposite sides of
the circle. They were loudly cheered by the spectators
--some th usailds strong—and lost no time in flinging
theircestors within the ropes. Marten was attended. by
Jem Ilraid and Harry Holt, and Young Gas by Nat
O'Neal and Ihck Curtis. After shaking hands they
proceeded to their toilette, and were soon stripped. On
coming to the scratch, their condition appeared to be
of the first order, that of Reuben Marten more espe-,
colly—he was completely " up to the mark," but it
struck us there was a delicacy in the appearance of Gas
which indicated that be was not in rude health ; still be
looked confident, and his countenance betrayed perfect
good humour. They fought for one hundred pounds
a sife,and at setting. to Reuben Marten was the favourite
at 6 so 1.

caught some nasty bits, they were not safficienty effective to stop

of fighting, and instead of trying for favourite straight hits, he
mlopted.Gas's style, and went to work in the true " bull dog" style ;
he darted at his wan right and left, and planted his blows well.
Gas fought with him.; but Reuben suddenly drew back, and jobbed
hird three times in the phis. Gas rattled at him With vigour, and
in the corner Reuben went down Gra rehalaing on his legs.

Gas lost no time in returning the compliment; and the blows rattled
as thick as hail-stones round each other's heads, some taking effect,•
others falling short; at, last, Reuben made a terrific bit with his
right at Gas i neck, on the same apt* where Ws delivered the teaser
is the first round, and again Gas was bit down as if shot ; was
promptly picked up by his &moods, who renewed a Chevy
in his ear; but he stood up and Milked stupified-Ads manner
was wild, and to .all appearance he was incapable of judging
for himself; while in this state, and standing close to the
ropes, tune was called—to this, however, he was deaf—he did not
move, and tine of his seconds said he could tight no more. To dais
be made no objection, and Reuben was declared the conqueror in
just sixteen minutes ; the lighting in each round having lasted upon
au average thirty seconds. After Reuben bad retired front ttasii
ring, Gas sdil stood by the ropes, and appeared insensible to what,
had occurred; while hit backers showed great indignation, and,.
indeed, expressed in strong terms their astonishment, that a man'
who had shown such determined game un former occasions, should
have given in while able to stand firmly on his lege; and then, too,
in opposition to his own assertion, thatbe would die before he would
say " enough." Gas, however, seemed insensible to these taunts,
and appeared still unconscious of what had happened.
Rime ass.—The singular change in Gas after the first round ex-
citedthe astonishment of the Ring, and float the turn which he pro-
duced in the fighting afterwards, all backed Lim as a winner. The
determined plank of Reuben, however, although his science was
matey

aside; enabled him to keep alive to his dutp and ulti-
tely to convince his friends that their confidence had not
been misplaced. Gas seemed perfectly aware that at out-
fighting he had nut a chance, and be therefore judiciously
wept to work with a resolution to allow n time for reflection ;
hie to keep Reuben constantly on 'the bustle. This It was

•The cut over his left eye, and a severe swelling under his left ear,
were the only prominent marks of punishment. Front the epee-

prowess, the issue piths battle wai any thing bat satisfactory, and
much disappointment was expiessed.
HARRY JONES AND IKE DODD.
These men first entered the ring, for ten pounds a-side,-battle
money; five pounds aside, part of the Hampshire premium for
milling and a purse. Dodd is the larger and heavier man of the
two, and was backed at 5 to 4; but the Sailor Boy soon proved
he wag the better fighter—he jobbed him right and left, hit up in
admirable style, and In thirty-four 'minutes and eighteen rounds
polished him of, almost without a scratared face, again proving
himself one of the best boxers of hie weight in the ring. In fact,
when he once gets the lead his adversary hat nut a chance. Dodd.
-proved himself a complete masj, and could not plant an effective
w.—Jones was seconded byTurtia and Stockman, and Dodd by
Fuhsvick and Lewellin. .
