MABLE AND BARNETT.

_ These men, not known in the Ring, but ambitious of doing something to hand their names down to posterity, or to settle some private misunderstanding, fought for ten pounds a-side, on Monday, on Old Oak Common, the former attended by George Curtis and Frank Redmond, and the latter by Ginger and a commoner. It was a slashing affair while it lasted; but Mable, after the second round, in which he received a severe cross-buttock, took the lead, and won cleverly in forty-eight minutes and thirty five rounds. Barnett proved himself a good thrower, but the severe jobbing hits of Mable popped his nob in chancery, and deranged his faculties so much, that his second cried "enough." It appears that these gemmen are both of a trade, in the mustard line, which may account for the unusual heat of their blood. We would advise them, in future, however, to prefer their professional mills to milling in the Ring.
