BOXING IN NORFOLK.

The fight between Cox and Barlee, for a purse of 2euf,
was fought on Tuesday last, at Thurton, in Norfolk.
much smaller number of persons assembled to witness tht
battle than is usual on such occasions ; bat whether th;.
result arose from pugilism baring lost some of its Ai
traction with the amateurs of Norwich, or that thou
gentlemen would have considered it a degradation to
attend to minor contest, after feasting so suniptnouq!y
at North Walsham, we are at a loss to determine.
The supposed number present was between two and
three thousand persons, and amongst them we ob-
served, from the London ring, Joshua Hudson. Bar-
wingliato Youth, Teasdale, Young Belasco, &c. Burke
entered the ring first, attended bv Palmer and Teasd.ale,
and Cox soon followed, with Walkley and another, as his
seconds. Barlee is considerably improved in strength
and weight since he last fought, but Cox is still his su-
perior in both. They set-to at about half past one, went
to work inensediatelv, and for the first three rounds it
was very even lighting, thongh Burke being the weak-
est went down each time. In the fourth Cox received
a heavy blow in the throat, s rally ensued, and he got
another on his sneezer, hich hit him down smartly;
shouts of applause followed, but in the next round
Barlee was knocked down in his film. From this rotund
I to the 39th odds were in favour of Cox, though native
hit away well while his strength lasted, and Cox got the
most of it; the 7 next Cox had all his own way. One slight
blow was suithrient for Hurler, and it was Mexico to a China
orange.—ln the -17th Cot received a blow which made
him reel, and in a close Barlee fibbed him 'down ; great
applause ensued ; but in the next rotund Burke again
got the worst ; he however came up fresh, and had ouch
the hest of the hitting, thorgh he fell, and thus he con-
tinued, having got what is called his second wind to
punish his adversary must severely to the end of the
tight. but went down every time except in the last two
rounds, in each of which Cox received so severe a facer
that it fellesLisian. and the last was a complete knock
down, which dazzled him, and he mold not come to
time. The battle lasted one hour and twenty-four mi-
nutes, and ninety-one rounds were fought. Cox is much
improved in his mode of fighting, and gained still more
reputation as a game man. We understand young Be-
lasco agreed before the combat to fight the winner In six
weeks.
