Barney's fkoe was anything bnt a pleasing object ss he came np, there being scsrcely a spot ftee from the eOeols of Jerry's handiwoA,.whlle the latter only had a slight dnt orer each eyebrow, and a little bnmp on the nose. Jerry, aa before, idanted the left reodving right-handed oroes-oonnter from Barney, who succeeded twice more in administering the same punlsniDent This brought on a oloee and some good^exobanges, In which "Jack was as good as bis maater," imtu Barney was fonghtdown. 9.

Jerry, who had received orders to force the flghUng, vrent to work and planted his left well on tbe right eyebrow, establlahlng a firesb out and, trying the double, got on- ttie month. Barney delivered his right on the body, buf not effeot- ively. Jerry, who had much the beat of the In-flghttng, in con- sequence of bis length and weight, caught bold of Barney, and got him off his.legs, bnt slipping, was under in the fall. 10. Jerry planted the left eeveral times on the nose and mouth, Barney, in return, getting on tbe side of the bead and body; but, from the fkct of Jerry being first, his blows were almost barm- leas. Exchaages took place until thegr closed, when Barney was throws rather heavily. Time, 19 mln. 11 to 14.

There are but few remarks required respecting the above fi^t The ailUr from tho commencement to the finish was of tbe moat determined and effeotlvo character. lighting was carried oat all thtoogh, and the battle waa won by ths trigger and stronger man, who took a dedded lead from the commence- ment for, after a few roimds, there was no obaaoe for the youngster, who-was already flghtiiut against hope. Bamey Be- gan, although defeated, has proved himself one of the gamest of the game, and, overmatched as he was, persevered in the most determined manner to snob an extent that considering bis youth, he has given promise of future excellence. The win- ner has broken the lee, and has performed mord than r<'spect- ably; bnt still, Itom tile tivorsble terms on which be was matched, no other result oould have been) expected.

A referee vlng been chosen, the lads made their toilets tor the tray, and at half-past seven, Sullivan, who-was the taller and the heavier man, was the first to shy his cap of defiance into the maglo olide, but was immediately followed by bis smaller adversary, and hos- tUlUee at onoe commenced by the Irish lad i«nnng a hot 'on with his left straight from the shonlder on tbe knight's nasd organ, thus obtaining first blood and first knock-down blow In the first ronnd—both olalmed and allowed. Five more rounds were fought occupying twenty minutes, sll In fkvor of Faddy, notwithstanding dl Ohnmmey's endeamrs to stem the tide of ill- fortune, when Uiose unwelcome gnartlans, the "blues," inter- fered, rendering an adjournment necessary, wUcb vras made for Bromtord, some six miles ont of Blrmlnaham, the authorities still In pursuit snd again apolllng sport A consultation waa now held, when the referee ordered the "lads" to meet at three o'olock the same aftemoon, at the flnt rendesrous (Barrow^s Field), for a resumption of the ;bnslness.

To ptrtlcularlze tho performance of tbe men In the second ring would be superflaous;'suflloe It to say, that Sullivan maintained the advantage that be obtained in the first round Ohummey, who was reported to be very dever with tite mittens, disappoint- ed bis friends, as bit eyldenUy lacked the requlremente to make a good boxer, he being very badly punished, and, moreevor, In- ollned to show the "white feather' after the'first punlahing round.
