We ventured to sttggeat, last week, that one way to oheok ^tar- toting would be forXondonera to leam to defend themselves. If a man carries a stick, or other vreapon, ha shonld Imow how to nse it; and if he carries no weapon at all, it la stlU more de- sirable that he should know how to use Us fists. In either case the dlffennoe which lastractlon and practice make iS'gtMter than the milnHlated can comprehend. A proflotent in the ort of aelfdefenee wonld be likely to take an attack by garrotera coolly, for ho wocld InOw that even that omel weapon, caUed a •■knuckIa.dnster,"'6onld not hart him if the blow strack with It feU an liloh short of the featuies It was Intended to obliterate. There U nothing more Important, in receiving an attack, tlian to Judge exactly the length of the enemy's range; and akUl in doing this may be acqnired by fboae wholriU adopt the-ptoper means. It is now some time since we first pointed out that there was something to be said for priie-flghtlng, and certainly we did not then anticipate suoh a reinforcement of our atrgnment as ia af- forded by the present atate ot the London etreeta. Bnppoae that Tom King, the conqueror in this week's prize fight, were walking home late at night, alone, with the proceeds of his victory in hu pocket, and that he waa observed by two or three gstrcterswho happened to know his peteon. itwoall very mach surprise us if the gtrrdters did not keep at a respeot- fal dlstanoe from that nighty arm which made such havoc of poor Jem Hace'a" coantenanee. The garroter would let King alone; and, althongh Uacehas not the same height and length of reach, he wonld be eauaUy anwflllng to meddle irith a boxer of enoh well-proved aldil. Either of these Obamplons qooA so deal with two or three ordinary street rufBans, that'they wonld Ue helpless where they fell, or, if they got away, they wotild car- ry marks by which they mlgSt easily be recognised. Tbat which wonld be a dangerons sdventiire for the ordinary Londoner, wOBld be only sgood Joke; or a preMy little bit otpraotlee for Elng or Uaoe. . And yet these man are Anther bigger tutr more conra- seous than many, others, but they^p^>en to have made a pecu- liar stady of an srt which has been ur too generally neglected. They have fought a very ondltable batUe, and if they u« quiet, weU-conduoted man,-they are sure to derive benefit from the awakening perception in aodetyof the advantagea of pugUlAn. The ourrent of opinion hia been setting In their fkvor for some time, and it will gain strength Itom the prevalence of gamtlng. Everybody noif thinks and ttlks .about a fight forthe Obamplna- ahlp. Indeed, "so widdyapread la the demoralisation produced by these dlsgracefol spe(^es," that ev«n the SteM, from which we borrow thiajibxMe, took 'the opportunity of its publi- cation, on Wednesday afternoon, to convey early Information to evangfUcaldrolssof the result ot the battle between King and Uace.
