Monday evening a battle was fought in Lon-don-fields, Hackney, between two Butchers of Bishopsgate-street, which, according to the connoisseurs in the pugilistic art, was tb'fe choicest ever known. The combatants behaved with uncommon resolution during an hour and ten minutes, when it was ended by the least being carried off the field for dead. The bets ran five to three in favour of the loser—many knock-down blows were given and received on both sides, and on the c.o;e of the. contest neither were able to stand alone.
