The FIGHT BETWEEN JOHNNY BRooME AND Bun
GAREn, FOR t6OO.-The above contest took place
on "Wednesday last, afew miles from Newmarket;
America 10 wres the laures from Old Tom Crib,
the Champion Of England-and Dan Donnelly. the
Irish Champion, who left Paddy's land to knock
about the knobs of the descendants of John Bull
there has been nothing like 1t. The excitement
has been kept up for the last three months all over
England, more especially as Bungaree was termed
foreigner II is true he was born in Australia,
and born of English parents who were settlers; ac-
cording TO his account, he had beaten several good
men In Australia, one denOmlnated Old Dutch Sam,
from his likeness TO that tremendous boxer of the
light weights and Bungaree had also defeated one
of the Calkcrs, renowned for achieve
ments in that part of the world but II should seem,
according the mill on Wednesday, that fighting in
Australia is rather different, as to character and
style, to the scientific boxing in England. Bunga-
rec on going to scale, weighed lost Glib. and Broome
but 9st. Sb The latter had fallen off his weight in
the last four days. owing to Indigestion, but in every
other respect he appeared as fine star. The road
appeared, usual, in high hustle and style much
interest had been created in the ordy nobs of the
Corinthians and also In the upper stories OF the
commoners 'tha it would be in bad taste for TO-
relgner TO crow over Engllshmen."

tile in the ring and Broome soon afterwards exhib-
tied the same token of defiance both Of them were
well received by the spectators. On sitting down
close together in the friendly manner, previous
10 stripping and the commencement of the battle,
Bungaree observed, with smile upon his counte-
nance, Johnny, shall lick you easily today
am certain of it." "Yop have got that to do yet;
and proof that you have overshot your mark,
will bet you f25 to EGO that you lose it. Nay,
more, I'll make ii ESQ to E2O''' And he mmedi-
atey went up to sprig Of nobility, who had made
trial of Bungaree's abilities, and also backed him,
saying. "Noble Sir, lend Bungaree EGO" Howe
yer, no bet took place, and the fight commenced.
The odds and7 to on Broome. Seeing what we
have previously seen in the p. r., Bungaree stood
badly on his pins, wide apart, and not like winning
man. But, nevertheless, he appeared confident, and
after the exchange of a few blows, Bungaree was
thrown. In the third round Bungaree put in hea-
Wy right handler on the mob of his opponent, which
appeared, for short PERIOD to leave something like
stunning effect but Johnny soon shook it off, ana
then had ii all his own way, by giving the first clear
knock down blow, drawing the first claret and
gaining everything in his favor towards winning.
Broome now clearly saw his way, and his practice
in the ring made him go to work with certainty
that conquest would crown his efforts Bungaree re-
ceived repeated knock down blows; the superior
fighting Of Broome manifest to the spectators
and the odds from all parts of the ring were loudly
offered upon Broome It is but justice to say, the
part of Bungaree, that he proved himself a game
man and he could make good hit with his right
hand, but whether the conceit had been taken out
OF him. or that he was getting abroad, he did not
use it, and he had characters scientific fighter
Both his peppers had "been measured for suit Of
mourning, and the last two rounds he fought total
" IN the dark. The chance being against him, his
friends requested of him TO nder the victory
his opponent, but he would not. However, as he
could not see his way, of course Johnny Broome
amidst loud shouts OF his hackers and friends was
declared the victor in ffty-fve minutes. Bungaree
might have been able to have continued the contest
tor time longer asthe fight was not exactly out
of him, but he would not consent to have his eyes
lanced. He was punished about the body. Broome.

called tulle glace their form round, la Bergere,
or IN long barbes, veihng covering straight gar
land Of flowers, united with two side bouquets or
tufts. Some pretty small bouquets are also now
being made tor caps, particularly those which are
cut short at the ears; they are mostly composed OF
small rose buds, forming pompon, encircled with
Parma violets; these bouquets being perfectly
round, charming when placed instead of nGuds
OF ribbon on each side OF the cap, below the ears
sometimes they are united by very small Gordon |
OF vioets which passes over the top OF the head |
these caps generally called Paradere, and have
the greatest success. China carnations, roses of
Bengal, ieur de Pin, and acaclas, each favore |
trimmings tor these style OF caps.
DEMONSTRATION has at length put period to |
these petit forms and shapes, and, usual has |
adopted one OF an opposite description, which now |
bids tar 10 rival Its during
the summer months. The bonnets being now posee, |
as to shade the countenance, and slightly raised
up behind whether they will be so becoming re- |
mains to be proved-at all events they will be more
convenient to the wearer and fashion will soon re-
concile us to the change. The colors are pou de |

body and sleeves Is now being made, showing the |

being composed of four successive rows Of guagngs
continued TO the waist, which is rounded, these |
guagngs or fullings, instead of being across the |
bust Cike those canezous now worn,) descend |
from the epauet TO the waist, diminishing in size, |
each row being separated from the side by |
double rouleau of cord of the same material as the

ing plain, and forming heightened heart The |
sleeves made in the same manner, being FORM |
ed OF four fulllngs guagngs onsitudnally to the
wrist, which is without band Of any kind. This |
sleeve has the advantage Of giving rounded APP |
pearance to the arm and taking of that plainness
which some ladies' so much object TO in the tight |

tage when made up in light textures it being either
adapted for evening dresses, for pelisse robes
