Astonishing as it must seem to every one famil- far with the respect paid to the laws and the oVi ct order preserved in the city of Boston, yet it is, true that one of those relics of the worst species of barbarian, prize fight, has been suffered in the immediate neighbOrhOod of, and by those living in the city.

 It appears that the combatants were an Ameri- can by the name of Joseph Long, and an English man by the name of Jack Smith. The bets of the immediate packers amounted to $500. The fight took place at one of the lower islands of the har- bor called ' Little Brewster" It commenced at 9 o'clock, and continued two hours and quarter.- The bets were heavy, and mostly in favor of the Englishman-generally two to one. One hundred Smith staggered and his seconds interfered claim necessary to lance the eyes of Smith, to enable him to see his opponent, and the fight was closed.

 1.-the parties engaged in this debasng affair are suffered oescape the severest punishment that the law is capable of inficting, and the authorities of Boston do not set foot against recurrence of the thing in future, they may be prepared soon to ex- pect results equally heart-rending and fatal as those which recently disgraced the city of New York.-.N H.
