M. ETNARD has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Etude., in Which he gives some extracts from one received by him from M. PrriiNi, dated 21st July, being two days after the arrival of that Gentleman at Napoli di Romania. It represents the Greek nation to be full of gratitude for the assistance rendered to their cause by the generosity of foreigners, to which they ascribe the salsa taon of their country. The most perfect agreement at pre sent reigns among the Grecian Chiefs ; and the causes of tilose dissensions which for some months had paralysed t:!.1 military operations, and retarded the proceedings of tlte Greek Government, have entirely disappeared. M. abloom?: had seen the people crowd around old CoLoco 7:t/.41, listening with avidity, while he read the letters addressed to him by the French Committee. All the most ,eiebra'ed men engaged in the cause of Greece were pre se:A on the occasion. M. Pt:rue:l had had an «It:tenet with the Chiefs, et which the roost hyper tont affairs were discussed. The departure of the troops was to take place on the following Monday. With respect, however, to news, M. PETRI NI considered their &Fairs to have arrived at an important crisis. All was in danger; but COLOCOTRONI was about to go with the greatest part of his valiant chiefs to protect Pi loponnesus ; various other important movements had taken place, and the whole of the Greeks appear to be inspirit" with the greatest enthusiasm. M. EVN ARD also says that from another quarter he had been infortned of the safe arrival of a quantity of provisions, and a large sum of money at i:erigo, on the 21st July, in its way to Napoli. The lateness of the arrival of the French snail prevents us from giving a translation cer this highly interesting docu ment. The Journal des Debuts says that the English Am bassador had complained to the Spanish Minister of that t;overnment favouring the organization of Portuguese troops, who had sought refuge in Spain; and that his Excellency had at lesgtls notified to the Government that the continuation of the conduct it held with respect to those refugees would be considered by Great Hi tain as a declaration of war. His Excellency bad besides refused to correspond any further with the Ministry, and had actually had several interviews with FERDINAND himself, who, it is said, was so offended, that he could not conceal his chagrin from the persons who surrounded him. This intelligince at present rests entirely upon the authority of the Journul des D e buts, whose correspondent in all likelihood writes his own hopes rather than communicates facts ; not that we should be at all surprisel at Mr. CANNIN G's giving Venni x ND a gentle :.ant, that if his own enlightened subjects preferred the pa teens' sway of a despot, his M Al ESTI' was not to aim at the conversion ef other States, whose people were weak enough to think that a constitutional form of Government was -at lout as good and as likely to promote their happiness a:. that of an absolute monarchy I.From the Etaik.l RUSSIA. Auo. 29. 'the fetes which are to follow the Curenation of the Emperor er :-Nsain are to be open the most sp:•:ndid scale. On the 22l (to. warner) the Duke of Devonshire's will take Floc-, and the gm. pew, with rim ungaskam ief.tk• imperial Family, will hamewaskikri Gram with their presence. Nothing can equal the beauty otter public illuminations. It is said that the Emperor cnnsidered it ri" thing of too ddieate a nature to send a public invitation to Duke Constantine, leaving it to the prudence of his august brother to de termine the course he would take on t'oe occasion. The ratite' °fibs Grind Duke, therefore. on the 2ritli of A 117,113 t. gave great pleasure t a the Emperor ani nil the Imperial Family. The first compliment made by the Grand Duke, on beirz presented to the Emperor, was the renewal of his oath of fidelity. This scene, at which many per woe were present, was noble and affecting. Many !promotions have taken 1411.10 :I the army ; And military reviews take place GENEVA, SEPT. It Tba preliminary discussions upon the project of the kw relative to the liberty of the Peas was continued tut Monday is Council. filmy Members epoke on the subject. hlost of them objected to the hd article of the project, which rotated to the internal policy of the other cantons. Tiley thought a legislative measure unnecessary to keep the Press within its proper liutits respectir.g the politics of .-twitsetland, as a simple racoawnendstion would he sufficient; the deems being animated with too high a spirit, and liming given too many proofs of their sincere attachment so the other cmfrde. rated cantons to allow of any leant being entertained of their ever bring miming in 'expect either to them or to their Governments The eupport.,rs of the article, on the contrary, deemed it essential to the completion nf the other measures regarding the press, and thougLt the tains= of twn periodical journals at Geneva was a circurn. kostate which reqoired the Government to fake some measures of precaution, which, it lied hitherto felt it proper to abstain from doing. A Cotnmissinn uF hertem members was appointed to tU51143:1211 tie ar;i:les or the ptop.h , :tt law. The Journal of Genera does not appear to approve of the p•oposcd measure, and asks. -` la et necessiny that for WIC attack 1111:Cil is alre.idy forgotten, and the recurrence of which is improbable, should compromise the rnoat precious of our rights,lthat of publishing our thoughts ?" This rtgOt Geneva always possessa. We owe to it the being what we are ; and if we at one time consented, which the imperious nature of the times rcquired, to admit of some temporary modifications of that right, still we cannot comprehend why It should now be wished to do so agrin. Would not a precocious censorship be the inevitable consequence of this law ? and in that case what would become of the liberty of ilse press ? ThetrerrJrt of the Journal des Debate, that M. Pone ii ilorgo was gone to Petenburgh in consequence of the receipt of a letter which he had received by an extraordinary despatch, is coat conect. The Count has not left Paris. It was stated by the Governor, at the half-yearly meet ing of the Proprietors of Bank Stock, held yesterday, that, so far as the system of establishing Breach Banks had been adopted, the result had been most satisfactory, al though he declared it was a measure altogether forced upon them by Government for the beneOlt of the country, and for which the Bank Proprietors had not yet received the least remuneration. The reluctance which the Bank has all along evinced in carrying this plan into effect is but a very natural consequence of the cautious foresight which was to be expected from it, when the extreme importance of the measure is contemplated. We have, however, al •ways adhered to the opinion, that in a country where the regulation of its trade and commerce depends so mainly upon the state of the currency, the control over money issues ought to be exercised either by Government itself, or by the Bank of England, who, by its intimate con nexion with Government, may be considered for all prac tical purposes its great and efficient agent. Mr. Yours asked whether it was the intention of the Directors to authorize the advancement of money on the deposit of goods by the Branch Banks? The Governor most dis tinctly stated that it was not. This wise determination on the part of the Bank must dispel all apprehensions re specting the prudent management of those Branch Banks, and fully justifies the confidence reposed by Government in the Bank at the time they urged upon that Com pany to take upon itself the controlling power over the circulating medium of the country. Another ques tion asked by Mr. 1 ouxo was, whether it was in contemplation to reduce the rate of discounts? This question, however, appears yet to be in abeyance, the Governor declining to give any pledge upon the subject. Mr. YOUNG thought, if welt was the intention of the Directors, results most injurious to the country would be the consequence. Ile ascribes the reduction of capital and credit which led to the calamities that befell us in January and February last to the conduct of Government in lowering the dividends of the Public Annuitants. Whether those calamities can or cannot fairly be attri buted to such a circumstance, we still think that Govern ment in that instance acted upon a right principle. Would any private individual continue to pay five per cent. for money if he could get it at four? This is the true way to put the questien ; and if the Government, acting for the people, can get money at four per cent., why, in the name of common sense, should they call upon the nation to pay at the rate of five? The Public Annuitant had nothing to complain of. He lent his money at a given rate. Govern. merit chose no longer to pay et that rate, and gave him the option of taking a lessa interest, or withdrawing the princi pal altogether. Could any thing be fairer, viewing it as a com mon wetter of business? If any evil consequences have re sulted, the reply is, Government were bound in justice toact as they did towards the public, who had sacrificed so much to the exigencies of the country, and who had therefore every claim to the earliest relief that could be afforded them. That this circumstance had the effect of direet itig considerable capital into channels of mad and unpro fitable speculation we do not deny ; but surely Government is trot to be eortsidered responsible for the folly and cupi• dity of those who, dissatisfied with a fair and certain re turn for their money, chose to embark it in wild and ima einary schemes, under the delusion that they were about to quadruple their income. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. This was a holyday at the Bank; there was, however, a good deal done in Consols elsewhere, which opened at 79j, fluctuated between that and 791, and from thence gra dually advanced to the period of four o'clock, when they were named for to-morrow, at the opening of the market, at 8011, The usual quarterly meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Stock was held to-day, for the putpose of declar ing a dividend ; which being done, a Proprietor put some questions to the Chairman, as to the nature of the opera tions to he pursued by the Branch Banks, and also as to whether it was the intention of the Directors to lower their amount of discount. The reply of the Chairman negatived the latter proposition, as was expected generally would be the case ; and, as regards the former, the Branch Banks are not to advance money on goods, but to discount Bills without the usual charge of one quarter per cent., upon a broad principle of liberal policy. In the Foreign Market Mexican have varied in about the same degree as yesterday ; viz., 2 per cent. In the course of the morning they went down to GO ; but a determined rally took place, by some foreign purchasers appearing in the market, and they left off at 624 to /. Greek Bonds present an advance to 11, and it is confidently asserted that they are to go up; why, except that they are to do so, cer tainly does not appear. Spanish are at 91. The general accounts from Spain are of a nature to indicate a speedy convulsion in that country. One thing is certain—that these Bonds are almost at their lowest ebb; and therefore any change, except their total annihilation, will tend to their advantage. Colombian Bonds have remained sta tionary at 354. It is asserted, with that degree of confi dence which excites belief, that there is a probability of an arraogement being made for the payment of the July divi dend, and it is said that the final settlement is expected to take place on the arrival of the packet from Jamaica. The principal gentlemen of the Stock Exchange absented themselves at an early hour, in order to witness a race i..betvrttfl. two horses belonging to subscribers,M be ratio by. their °rites on Epson, Course. The match was nominally 1 Tor 1150 •guineas, but the actual sums to come off were stated to be of considerable amount. Shires show but little variation ; Del Monte have gone down to So discount, and Brazilian alone are at 8 prem. Aconsiderable sensation was occasioned thi s morn i ng b y letters from Ostend, detailing an explosion of nearly 1,300 barrels of gunpowder, the effects of which had nearly sus pended business of every description. The amount of lives lost, it is hoped, will not prove so great as might be ap prehended from the nature of the accident. The Bishop of London visited the Duke of York yes terday, at the residence of the Duke of Rutland, in Arling ton-street. His Royal Highness took an airing yesterday af ternoon in his open barouche and pair for about two hours.

GIBR4LTAR PAPERS. We yesterday received Gibraltar Papers to the lit Mist' from which we copy the following Avows? 30. The Commandant -General of the neighbouring! district, General Miranda, has issued a Proclamation, dated Algemeas, the 26th inst. ' in which, after observing that the late occurrences in Portugal have recently affected a pretence to some ill.inte-.tioned persons for spreading most dangerous reports, calculated to mislead the un wary, his lixeeller.cy gives extracts from too despatches which he has received from the Captain-General of Estremadu ci, and from the Intendant of Police of Zamora. The former of deer in. forma, under date the 14th, that the new Constitutional C barter is disliked by an immense majority of the Portuguese nazi an ; that there have been affr a y s i n man y places; that he has given " friendly reception to a Brigadier, who, with the 17th Regiment of Foot, the 2d of Horse, the Villaviciosa Militia, many men belon Bing to the corps of Artillery and others, aud a number of reapt.ctable Judi viduids of different classes, who sought an asylum in the province under his command, had disapproved of the new m maims, and thought the change of the form of Government illegal ; and lastly, that complete tranquillity prevails in Extremadura, it bring evi dent that Spain does not wish for any other ruler than that of Fer dinand, her legitimate Sovereign. The Intendant of Police of Zamora encloses to his Excellency public notice to I he Zamorana, dated the 6th, which mentions the arrival of Viscount Monte leagte, with 229 men of the 2411 i foot, and other loyal Portuguese, who were granted the pentettion which they solicited, and admitted into Zamora after depositing tittle arms at Acantaas : and he ex horts the Zamorans to be on their guard against the attempts that may he made to seduce them by the disaffected 'al their city, who, in order to carry into effect their anarchical pl-Ans, will put on the mask df royalty, and wage was against the I..ing while invoking his august name. For the purpose of deft., rting their machine tions, and of ensuring the tranquillity enjoyed under the paternal and absolute government of the bast of Alo sarcha, the Intendant recommends union and obedience AO his Ma jetty's will, which obe dience mind be compelled froim the tinge:eel iil rind disloyal. These extracts, General Miranda adds. sfil affcra , great satisfaction to many, at the same time thitelity will open dr* eyes of others, and convince them that the happiness of a Stan • cannot be brought about by premature changes, always attenill d with contusion and anarchy. We also wish the inhabitants of the district under his command to follow the example of thou: of Estrcmadttra and Zamora, and to turn a deaf ear to the sot gestions of the deluded men who arc dissatisfied with his Msjesty's paternal Government. AMERICAN PAPERS. [From the Nas York Stategracrit of August :91 HAY TI.. The payment cf the sum due to France for the acknowledgment of Hayden Independence causes considerable difficulty to Presi dent Boyer. An attempt wai made a short time since to obtain something from the mines, and gezat expectations formed that the result would release the Government from the necessity of resorting to taxation ; but after exploring them, no trace of either gold or silver could be discovered, and the project was abandoned. Imme diate recourse most now be had to direct taxation, fur which the people are by no means prepared, and in many instances they are ready to dispute the power of the Government to compel its pay ment. The result of this disagreement between the parties, it i s feared, will Ife'rebellion rod revolution, either of which is much to be deprecated in the preterit situation of the island. The British Consul-General, it is expected, will shortly return to his country, as he is unable to do any thing in furtherance of the views of his Government with the President of Ilayti, and the circumstance of his having been Garilted as a coloured man did him much injury in the estimation of the Haytians, although it was thought to be a master-stroke of policy by Englishmen, who seem to have for gotten the fact that the people of the island are as tenacious about colour as these of any part or the world. A report was currently circulated in Port.au.Prince on the 23d July, that the Consul had handed in his ultimatum, and fixed on a time for his departure, unless his proposals should be acceded to; and it is the general impression that he will hare permission to de part at the moat convenient opportunity, the Government having no further claim on his attention. Speaking upon this subject, one of our intelligent correspondents residing on the island remarks :—" The sanguine expectation of die Englishmen here, as to what M•Kenzie, the British Consul, was to accomplish, and the probable failure of his success in any one point, are striking instances of the gullibility of John Bull. Mr..lll•llCenzie confesses the,gu/l, and acknowledged himself to be t,irly duped ; at the same time he expresses his admiration of the correct information respecting these people, as displayed in the Panama Alt ssage." Respecting the situation in which the President of the Republic finds himself placed, our correspondent writes to this effect : " We have a report that the President is either going to resign, or from the embarrassed situation of the country rendering his post no longer tenable. Other awes than his mid-administration have conduced to bring about the distresses under 'shish the people labour, and which were Out ILE his power to guard against, had he beca glare thaw what/4e int .Still these people•do not look into hidden mysteries of things, and are apt to condemn where they should approve.

We learn verbally that there was little doing there, and that the town continued sickly. There were twenty-four vessels in port engaged in foreign trade. The Spanish 71 which was givers up by her crew to the Alexi ram', at Acapulco, last year, having been refitted, and a craw of 6410 men placed on board, sailed from that port on the 12th June, intending to touch at Valparaiso on her way round Cape flora tor Vera Cruz.

The following letter, dated Dublin, Sept. 18, was re ceived yesterday morning:—" A Meeting of the Proprie tors of the St. Patrick Insurance Coors,. was held on Saturday, to break up the Company, their deposited capital of 1.50,000/. being spent to about 11,000/. and they have outstanding ri exceeding 1,000,0001. Whatever new claims arise must be settled by the wealthy part of the proprietors. In August. 1824, we had the Commercial, National, Patriotic, St. Patrick's, Royal Irish. and Sham rock Insurance Companies, taking marine, fire, and life risks. Four of these are extinct. The National and Patriotic only remain." Such is the termination of the St. Patrick's Insurance Company, and such must .be the end of every Company whose business is carried on beyond its means. It is dreadful to contemplate the responsibility which, in all pro ..bobtjity, must fitactt..tsnone.autkli of the Shareholders, net oily in thin, but in all' otheCompani, s similarly consti tuted. At this Meeting it was modestly proposed to devote 1001. out of the remaining• fonds, in order to take legal opinions on the subject of the liabilities of the Shareholders, so that a Company are to involve themselves and the public in enormous difficulties, and then they are to appro priate a part of that sum which at present dot s, or shortly may, belong to others, in endeavouring to discover by what means they may shirk their contract. The question of liability is certainly as yet a point in dispute ; and, at a meeting of a Marine Insurance Company in the City of London, a short time since, the Chairman said that the Company had taken the highest legal opinion upon their deed of settlment, and that opinion was, that the original Shareholders were not liable to the whole amount of the nominal capital of the Company. A Shareholder pre sent, however, as confidently aasertcd that he had consulted lawyers of eminence, who had as unhesitatingly declared that they were liable. So much for legal opinions ; and it is to be feared that the reality will not be arrived at but in due course of law, viz. by the assistance of a jury. With this and the various other examples which are now before the public on the subject of Marine Insurance, it is strongly to be hoped that other Proprietors will not he fatally induced to proceed in undertakings which can but endanger the in surer as well as the insured. It is quite clear, up to this period, one Company after another has dropped off; the prospect of doing business to a profit with the amount of their capital having been impossible; and such mast be the end of all Companies that profess to be able to pay losses, to which their funds are wholly inaderate. Marine In surance has prospered in the hands of tadividuals,—it has failed in the hands of Companies; the sooner, therefore, that it shall again revert to its original situation, the better it will be for the safety, the honour, and the character of the country at large. The names that have dignified " and those that still continue to do so, are alone tible of grappling with a pursuit requiring such a capi sal; and to them let it be confided. Z. MOVEMENTS.

Our theatre was thronged last night to excess in every part, owing to the attraction of the three amateurs, Colonel Berkeley, Mr. A. Berkeley, and Mr. Banks, playing with Mr. C. Kemble, in the first part of King. Henry Me Fourth, in the characters of Prince of WuleA, Sir John Falstaff Poins, and Hotspur. The rush to the pit and gallery on the opening of the doors was tremendous. The dress bolus were so crowded, that many ladies were greatly inconve nienced, more being admitted than they could conveniently bold ; and it was supposed as many more applied for ad mittance as were received. Mr. Farley appeared for that night only. The amateurs acquitted themselves extremely well. The farce was High Lip Mole Stairs. Lord DvAr's Servant, by Colonel Berkeley ; Philip, by Mr. A. Berke ley ; Lovel, Mr. C. Keinble ; Sir Harry, Mr. Farley. The Mock Minuet danced by Colonel Ikrkeley, with Mrs. Cook, in the character of Lady !Jab's Servant, was encored. Mrs. C. complained of being afflicted with the colic when Colonel Berkeley put ii., as it is called, his advice to cure her—" Take a glass of Thompson's spa water, No. 4," which produced bursts of laughter. In the supper scene there was a plentiful supply of roasted chickens, with sparkling champagne, and other wines, produced at the expense of the Colonel. The receipts of the house were about Mt. After the performance (which was for the benefit of Mr. C. Kemble), the Colonel gave a sumptuous supper at his house. The subseription hounds turned out this morning at Cleave, with a numerous field of sportsmen. DOXCAS7 ER RACES. DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY NIGIIT. In our account of the St. Leger yesterday, we omitted to mention that the distance, which is one mile, six furlongs, and 132 yards (being 61 yards shorter than last year), was run in three minutes antl 49 acconds. From the best observa tion we could make, the flying horse Belzoni came ill eleventh. As might be expected, there were many who were not absolutely delighted with the event of the rate; it was no sooner over than all the confidence of the morn ing vanished from the countenances of those who had gone on the wrong side of the post—in its room " ryn tentout signs" of what's to rune were too evident. Had a barber been present to have shaved some heard s, he would have charged double for the lengthened phizzes of the confident. Our remarks on the horses were, with little exception, borne out by the running, which gave ad ditional force to the oft-reheated expression that " the field is the hest horse." It is confidently asserted that the Earl of Scarborough, who has for so many years unsuccessfully tried to said a St. Leger winner to his valuable stud, was so much de lighted with the event of the race yesterday, that he has promised a sttlemcnt of 100 guineas per annum, for life, on his fortunate jockey, George Nelson, for the exertion and ability displayed by him in riding Tarrare. It may here be remarked, that one of the reasons which has in duced many to bet against Tarrare was, that he is one of the Calton breed, against which a kind of prejudice has existed. "He'll never win," said a very good judge, "his Lordship will never win with a Canon limn." The spell, however, is now broken, and we have little doubt that the Cation stock, which has been improving of late, will ere long be but little inferior to any in the North. It was George Dockeray, not Frank Boyce, who rode The Ge neral. This morning was appointed for settling, and the r rigi nal Betting-rooms were crowded for that purpose. Paying and receiving seemed to proceed with considerable har mony. There are, indeed, a few hollsrs, whom it would be premature to notice more particularly at present.

C ra d ock who gave a gold cup oft he value of 200 gu i neas, which . will be run fur to-morrow, and is expected to produce ex. cellent sport. These Gentlemen have been indefatigable, and, notwithstanding the weather and other ci rcematarc s have been against them, have fully realized the atitliipatauk of the visitors. The admirable order hitherto preserved on the Course during the Races, and the skill evinced in the preparatory arrangements, are entitled to our warmest praise. The *hole ie under the management of Mr. Lockwood (son of the Judge), who, in order to make " assurance (icy* sure," has availed himself of the able aseistance of lie brother, Mr. W. Lockwood, Clerk of the York Course, of Mr. Howison, his I rother-in-law, and Mr. Tul, Clcrk cf the Pontefract Course. It cannot, therefore, be Wondered at that every thing connected with the Races went off with the greatest precision. The police is very strong in numbers, and mosteffielentiv superintended by Mr. Tyitilis, chief officer of Doncaster, who is assisted by Bishop and Taunton, from Bow•strcet. Considering the great facilities afforded to pickpockets by an occasion like the present, the r exertions have been very successful. Great sport is expected to-morrow and Friday, there being fire races on the one day, and six on the next. Bed. lamite, Belzoni, and Mulatto, are entered. THE APPOINTMENTS FOR TO-MORROW.

About two o'clock the lour remaining double players were ellett on ; Jtriian (Cornish), and Chapple, sen. (Devon), were the two tint that emend— ulian was thrown. Tilh, Devon, end Moyle (Cornish); were next, when Tilk was thrown. This made the number at triple players equal, being 'brie of each mu^ ty. The triple play then commenced with Warren (Cornish), and Pyle (Dt von), both excellent wrestlers, but Warren ctusidrnibly saperior in SaTI gth :And size--Pyle riceived two falls, the first nut befog decisive. Glanville (Cornish), and Chapple, sea. (Devon), were the out, when (hippie was thtiren, much to his Oissattsfisction; as be would not quit the ring, but contested the point with the Corr•.ish umpire and referee, almost to a tight. Several Devonians side( wi h him and jumped over the tails, and a riot nearly ensued; a Devonian whir had been thrown the preceding day by Caen was one of the foremost for light, but Moyle caught hold or bin, wt ca the Eevo fan ant mpted to wrestle, but received a most severe tall front Moyle, vhi h, with the cn 7/ of the constables and air. Rt use, had the effect of restoring t rder. Chapple, !weever, too. tit ung dissatisfied, Glanville consented to give him arother (hat a and returned into the ring for that purpose. It was net liefore Chapple wasagain elution, and Cl/01 wen he reluctantly ri tired u a lost r. Every one but himself was, however, convinced of It. The e now only remained Abraham Cain (Devon champion), ar d Moyle troiniali); a tall soon took place, but which was out doei ire. Moyle avoided coming in contact with Cana as maz4 as _ possible, till at last they grappled, when-Cann threw hie opponent instantly. The two hitches occupied tour minutes. Moyle, how. ever, though thrown, is entitled to the Murat prize, there Wei eely three men left for the first, second, and third prism Abraham Cann (Devon) and Warren (Cornwall), the best on ea .11 side, then entered by lot, both stout man, but Cann decidedly the superior in strength and weight, with • lair complexion and curly hair, younger inan Warren, being about thirty years of age. (1 afros is about forty, the father of ten children, and some years ago received an injury incidental to lianb.wnrkieg men; he las been a wrestler for twerry-tive yesnr. Thelint hal Warren ie. ceived occupied seven minutes, a:al was not decisive. %Vat n play ing ramieuel). '111.! candidetes then hitched again; Wart. n play trig eff many antics to avoid being grappled ; at length be b got hold, and w about four minutes, %%slam was again *Mews. Much coofusion here rose between the patients of tech; the M. vunians (who wets at least three to one), contending that it was a declaim tall. . It was at length agreed that another rderee should be appointed when Mr. Rowel entered the ring fur that purpose, by can►ect ut both countieq. Cann and Warren hitched once more, and in about four minutes got a crook upon Warrer, (" Bravo, Cann !" from the Dam :inns; and " Well done, Warren !" from cite Cot:Mali men.) This mis a critical peried fOr both ; they were poised on a balance for ant= 11`coadt —one was sure to go. The strength of Cann at knelt lre' veiled, and Warren was thrown, admitting his defeat by jumFirl‘ up at.d shaking hands with his subduer. Cann was thus entidcd to the first prize of ten sovereignn: Warren to the second, of six soveteigns; eollanville to the third, of tour soverelts K; and Moyle to the fourth, of one sovereign. Thus ended this maly ap rt, which, from the unfavourable state of the weather on the first day, was prolonged to part of the fourth, and which bids fair to become a favourite in London. 1 1 must be admitted, however, that the cont. St was conniderabl against the men of Cornwall, both from the disparity of numbers and the arrival of Coln, who is admitted to be the champion of wrestling in Devon, to contend with mechanics, who mint be sup• tamed, from their lo:.: residence in loomion, to be out or practio. T he Corni•hoien are said to be deterinined to bring up s ome of their bott teen to the next wrestling match, to oppose CBllO.
