NIATt AND SPlll24o.—Various reports were in cireilla• .
Lion yesterday, calculated to throw a damp on the ex.
relations of those who have so freely sported tise &P t-' •
on the event of this great light, which should take lila* a
to-morrow. It has been reported, that a retain hews* -
lent latly,a member of the Society of Friends, has tempt-
ed Neate, by a very con iderable dosweur, to. relinquish
the ring for ever. We should rather imagine Neete's
pride would, at this late hour, prevent himtclosing with.
so rational an offer. Certain it is his friends have reci iveil
no official information from head-quartersi and eve:y
vehicle has been engaged that the city affords. Maly
pedestrians have already started for the scene of action:
—(Bristot 'Mercury of Monday.)
The spot now selected for the contest is, we under.
stand, Weyhill, near Andover, on the ground what
the celebrated Hop and Sheep Fair is annually held, e
the Great Western Road, about sixteen miles on this silt(
of Salisbury, and sixty-six from London. The bets, be.
fore the sporting men left town last night, were eviiffi.
Spring was rather the favourite ill the sporting clrcies.
