Ott'eta Areh Saktmek.—These first-rate men of
strength and science fought the reamed match for lett
guineas aside, yesterday, in afield close upon Sawbridge-
worth, Harts, the property of a man who wonld have flu
hesitation in ewer/sing a teak, or rrsabling with a site-d
of Radicals. Hie proprietorship was not doibted, an .t
the new Act of Parliament was not pat in force, as the
Conetnisestry-General, in the absence of the great Cal-
lain, said no Mischief was meant, and he would 6 -
4lowed if any sneaks nosed there without being paid fob
it. The peid of action was twenty-five mike from Len-
don; sad vet many thousands ha, assembled in the ring
at one o'clirek, in- spite of the inclement. weather, which,
from the roads, made the odds of neck-breakir g not leis
than 2to 1. One thing was proved, that this was net a
trading' fight; George Cross was not in the bent. and
the people were satisfied. Spring seconded Shelton,
and Handal! *as the great performer for Oliver; and a
tery manly conflict followed.
Ronal I. Both nieuered tit:4r length with great Can-
tioa, and Oliver made a smart right-banded hit open the
body, which was partially returned upon the head ; and
Oliver drew first blood in the rally. In a close both
went down.
2. Oliver sho*ed much braiery, by ski Parries of
his adversary's strait-hitting left liana, returned
dexterously with the right, and out-f s Mao, wit.) •
dropped claret profasely. Shelton r r.
3. Oliver had also the best of thit u 'though
licpped
some of bit railings were damaged, but he in
the next round, and was undermost in this.
4. The men litmus:led and turned to is ball-dox style,
land Oliver's courage had like to have got him stomped.
He missed his left hand, and was return/1 upon with a
severe hit on the head, which stopped him for the tin el
' and floored him.
In the 3th and 6th rounds Oliver fought to a disadvan-
tage, bet itiegswieness with Neat, kept Inatiriandi ingest
maidenee, and hi recovered, an the fight contained
I with much equality until mend 141, when Shelton sgsia

great gallantry, and both itlishees were rtserat In the

and it exhilarated the nervous system, and ceased mach
slashing hitting. Shelton fought with great bravery.
but Oliver's tactics put most of his generalship ea me
side, and at the latter part of the fight he got ieleme-
perate, and rushed at random, which gave Oreetelpfer
tneity to his cool and deliberate adversary to pidteleet
of him. To conclude, Shelton fell from the slipperi-
ness of the weather in the 2:th round, and Oliver pee
Min a smart facer when half down. The umpires were
appealed to, and they properly decided fair. The let-
terset the men were fairly tried in the next round, and
Shelton was evidently beat—it was pietadage. In these
ether roux's, Oliver keeping the lead, Shawn, wee bee
foul again, as was said, but the umpires again MAIM
in the negative, and Shelton exclaimed that he mead

der every disadvantage, and Oliver won the battle I. dll
minutes, proving himself sot oaky the hest gime aid,
taker, but the best map.

perieess of the weather.
