Pugilism Extraordinary. Passing lei
nrely IN Broadway on Monday after our
morning labors were ended, while rumina-
inc upon the changing scenes ofthis world
# woe and warfare. our attention was
suddenly directed to milling match which
vas enacting in the lawn fronting the hos
oital. The parties were Mrs. Judy o.
Tooleywhagg, and a gentleman whom we
took to be one ofthe keepers ofthe hospital
The cause of the fight, if we
we're correctly informed by very good
humoured groupe of spectators, was this:
Mrs. Otooleywagg was not very drunk,
nor very particularly sober--but in that
delightful state of tipseyfcation, when rea-
son having descended from its throne to
the gutter, and shame shut her eyes, she
would as lief have taken set-to with
BeIzebub himself as not. In this cOndl-
ton she had taken possession Of Just e.
nouqh of the hospital ground to support
her person IN a recumbent posture. But
the keeper brought an electment against
her which he was attempting gently TO en-
force when she reused & sprung upon him
like a game cock. Judy was well set,
full and open in the chest, stouily pinned,
about four feet ten, present weight zine
stone, respectable length ofreach and most
prominent muscles in the arms. She
seemed to have bit Of sport before; for
although her brows were not bound with
victorious laureIs, yet they were bandaged
with a clean white pocket handkerchief,
which was spotted something like Lady
Macbeth's hands.-In the first round she
was vigilent and active, and, there was no
attempt at science, she put in her hits with
great quickness and precision. The keep
er like a true knight, eudeayored to do her
no harm, and merely attempted 10 parry
her hits. She was not angry-bu. eXhlb-
tied as much GOOD nature IS spirit Indeed,
had she not been Of the gentler sex, II might
literally have been sad, as of good old
John Grimes
Gle had no malice in his heart,
''Noy miHeS on his shirt
The keeper for a time had so far the ad-
vantage that he had caused her TO advance
backwards almost to the gate way, when
she lost her balance and was hoored upon
the pavement. Her head struck like a
sledge hammer upon an anvil The clar-
ct gusheG forth, and as she rose upon her
pms again, gently trickled down her dam
ask cheek in crimson rivulets. She set to
again, however, with undminished gallant
nv, and made such brilliant exhibition Of
her tactics, that the keeper soon found he
had d more unruly customer to deal with,
than he had imagined But he neverthe-
less continued playing with open HANDS,
and trying to fight shy, though encounter
ing divers severe vlsitatOns.--Judy was
often cheered by the spectators, who were
greatly edited by her prowess. IL a few
minutes she had worked herself, sideways
backwards and all ways a couple Of rods
towards the centre Of the lawn, when her
understandings again failed her by reason
of their coming in contact with little green
bank which she did not see because she
was looking the other way. She was a
gain 6oored; but after gracefully reclining
upon the sward for a moment, smiling like
Flora upon a bank of yiolets, her daylghts
frightened up, and she rallied once more,
and not only milled away with admirable
rapidity, but came near taking the keeper
by ogles and Smeller. He now attempted
to bring her to a close; but she came to the
scratch with such an evident determination
to leave marks of punishment, that he took
10 his trotters, and made towards the cas-
tie for an reinforcement, with all speed.
Judy was game to the last, and followed
close upon his heels, cheered by the hearty
acclamations of the sovereigns, and we
left the scene while she was IN full trlum-
plant pursuit.
MORAL.
The lovers of rum and all the foul Ingre-
dients which are poured from the lnebrla-
ting cup, Of both sexes, should recollect'
that there is no certainty that they may not
one day render themselves equally the OBJ
jects Of disgrace and loathing with the I'M
fortunate female, whom tor the want OF
real name, we have distinguished by that Of
Judy OF ooleywhagg.
