THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1860. MARKETS.---This Day. MARK-LANE. Tho trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled quiet, and in some instances prices were somewhat easier. For spring corn the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Flour sold slowly, at late rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, without ma terial change in prices. At New York very little business is doing for export to Great Britain. Large shipments of oats have recently been made from Canada to Europe. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted of 17,414 quarters of wheat, 6,000 barley, 134,811 oats, 2,292 beans, 4,855 peas, 4,066 linseed, 10,824 rape seed, 23,310 maize, 1,030 sundry seeds, 117 sacks and 1,425 barrels of flour. The demand for seeds ruled inactive, at last Monday's currency. East India linseed and rapeseed were firm. Cakes were in fair demand, and American descriptions were rather firmer. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. Tho trade for all qua lities was firm, and higher prices were demanded. Millers, however, appeared indisposed to make extensive purchases, and sales generally progressed slowly. Last Monday's currency, however, was well supported, and in some in stances fine wheats showed a slight improvement in value. The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The amount of business transacted was only moderate; never theless, prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of wheat were held at full prices. Spring corn afloat were but little inquired for. Tho supply of English barley on sale was small ; of foreign, moderate. The trade was quiet, on former terms. Malt sold slowly at late rates. Oats were in large supply. Good and fine corn was firm in price, but inferior qualities were dull, and 6d to is per quarter cheaper than on Monday last. Beans met a slow sale, at barely late rates. Peas very dull and prices had a drooping tendency. Flour met a slow sale, on former terms. CUP.RENCY PER IMP. MEAW'TItE.

The supply of foreign stock on sale hero to-day was tolerably extensive, and in fair condition. Most of the F ren ch beasts were very goad. Sales progressed slowly on rather easier terms. With home-fed beasts we were fairly supplied. The grass-fed stock came to hand in prime condition. The arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were very limited. For all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per Sibs. The extreme top prico was 5s Gd per Sibs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,200 short horns from other parts of England, 600 various breeds from Scotland, 43 Scots a nd crosses; and from Ireland, 50 oxen, &c. The show of English sheep was tolerably good, and most breeds we re very prime. Downs and half-breds, in cluding prime Leiceste rs, &c., moved off freely, at fully last week's currency ; but most other breeds were a slow inquiry, on former terms. We had a dull trade for lambs—the supply of which was on the average—on easier terms, viz., from 6s 8d to 7s 8d per 81bs. Calves wore in fair average supply, and sluggish request, at last week's prices. In pigs, very little was doing ; nevertheless, the quota tions were supported.

DOW-STREET. THE NEW "JACK SILEPPARD."—John Norman, a pre cociously cunning -looking urchin of about ten years of age, was charged with being found in a stable in Clare street, Clare-market, belonging to Mr. Mumford, flour and corn dealer of Newcastle-street, Strand, supposed to be there for an unlawful purpose. Charles Walker, a carman in the serN:co of Mr. Mum ford, stated that on Saturday night he went to tho stable to feed his horses and found the prisoner in a chaff-bin; he was covered over with a sack. The prisoner said no thing. In answer to the magistrate, The prisoner said that a big boy employed at the .hop gave him leave to sleep there. Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk)—l suppose thorn are lots things about the stable that anybody might steal? Witness—Oh, lots of things, sir. Mr. Burnaby—ls he known ? Police-constable Judman, F 81, who took the prisoner in custody, said the prisoner was in custody in February, 1865, for being concerned, with two others, in stealing 20 books from a shop in Russell-court ; in October, together with his sister, for breaking into a chandler's shop at 5 o'clock in the morning. On each occasion he was liberated after a short remand. He had on another occasion been charged with stealing strawberries in Covent garden Market. Another incident in the career of the prisoner, who is known by tho soubriquet of " Jack Sheppard," is that shortly before Christmas last he took upon himself to drive a score of sheep from Shepherd's Bush to Great Queen street, Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, without the consent of the owner. There he was stopped, and the sheep were re turned to their owner. On that occasion the prisoner being asked what he was going to do with the sheep, re plied that he wanted to "kill one at a time, as he wanted it." The prisoner said he had been locked up by his mother for a week, because ho had lost a pair of shoes worth 2s. 6d. belonging to his sister—the little ono now at home— and having escaped from the window by means of a rope attached to the bedstead, he thought he would stop away till he could make up the half-crown. After being about the streets all Friday night, he was going to stop out Saturday night, too, but a boy opened the stable door with a key, and said ho might sleep there till five o'c:ock in the morning, promising to let him out at that hour. The prisoner's mother here came forward and said the prisoner was the "most unruliest boy as ever was," and do what she would there was no keeping him at school. Mr. Flowers —Do you think he would stay at school if I sent him there ? _ _ _ The mother said she could not afford to pay for him, as •ne of his sisters was "away" already. Inspector Brannan said nearly all the family were away, and the sister alluded to was as bad as the prisoner. He was remanded, with a view to the necessary arrange ments for his committal to a reformatory. BOROUGH HOP. The accounts recently received from the hop districts are mostly of a favourable character, In low-lying gar dens the appearance of the plant is not so healthy as could be wished, but the general prospects of the crop are highly satisfactory. The trada is quiet, and brown qualities may be purchased for rather less money. Fine parcels, how ever, are firm in price. The import of foreign hops into London last week consisted of ono bale from Hamburg, and 36 bales from Boulogne.

Making a total of 116,836 THE CHOLERA. Ou Saturday Mr. Thomas Fowell Buxton, Clia;r man of the House Committee of the London Hos- Mr. Samuel Gurney, M.P., Vice-President, Mr. Joseph Sebag, a member of the House Com mittee, and Mr. William J. Nixon, House Governor and Secretary, had an interliew, by appointment, with the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house, with the view, if poE'sibie, to interest, through 11;m, the ::orporation of the city of London in particular and :he citizens generally in the present state of the hos- pital and the excessive and increasing demands upon its resources, consquent on the outbreak of cholera in the eastern part of the metropolis. The Lord Mayor had readily wanted the inter,:ew and l'stened to the statements made by the deputation with the deepest sympathy and interest. Mr. T.l3ux•roN said they had given up one-th'rd of the hospital or the whole of one floor exclusively to cholera pa''.ents, and in consequence of it being necessary to have one nurse to every three patients, they had beel obliged to increase their staff of nurses, in addition to superintendents, many of whom rendered their services gratuitously. 'lnc number of patients admitted into the cholera wards from the 10th of July to that morning, the 4th of August, was 365, of whom-299 were suffering from cholera and 66 from diarrhoea. Of these 97 had recovered, or 48 from cholera and 49 from diarrhoea; 158 had died from cholera and 8 from diarrhoea, or 166 in all; and 102 remained in the wards, 93 of them afflicted with cholera and 9 aitb diarrhoea,, very few of whom were convalescent. The number of out-patients treated during the same period in the receiving-room of the hospital, the cases not be;ng severe enough for reception into the establishment, were 6,251, the attendance on whom involved extra labour and cost. The cholera staff of the hospital cons'sted at present o; five resident medical officers, 35 day nurses, 35 night nurses, and four men employed by day and two men by night in (Aber departments. The enf-e expenditure of the establishment had been increased for extra diet and siimulan'.s to an extent beyond all previous experience in hospital treatment, includ- ing extra issues of w'ne and brandy to nurses, pa tients, and labourers. This year they were to have publicly opened a new wing of the hospital which they had lately built, and though they had been obliged to forego the intended ceremonial, which would probably have resulted in a large addition to the funds of the hoTital, the completion of the new building had been most fortunate and opportune at this time when so much additional space was wanted by the extraordinary influx of patients and medical men. It had been perfectly astonishing to witness the zeal of the medical staff. At first them was a good deal of fear of contagion, but much of that had been abandoned, and a'l the authorities of the hospital, with many others, had volunteered their services in the emergency. Two nurses had died and one was ill now, but the former were extra nurses, and slept out in the neighbourhood of Beth nal-green or other places where there was cholera ; so that the authorities of the hospital hoped the death of the two nurses was no absolute proof of th© disease being contagious. It was frightful to wit ncs the sufferings of many of the patients in the hospital. Fortunately, when the d;sease reached the state of collapse the suffering appeared to cease, but in the earlier stages it was fearful. Many of the people who were brought in were just skin and bone, and they came in poisoned, as it were. They (the deputation) had called upon the Lord Mayor in the hop 3 that he might be able to lay the-7 use before the corporation with a view to a grant from its funds. _ Mr. NIxoN, the house governor, said there were crowds of dying people for whom accommodation could not be found in the hospital. Mr. S. GURNEY, M.P., obsei ved as a sad and sig nificant fact that on Friday last there were as many as 30 bodies in the dead-room, and people could not be got to bury them. They had since got 16 of them buried ; but on Friday the demands on the staff of the establishment were so great that time could not be found for the interment of the dead. A very great proportion of the patients were German sugarbakers, large numbers of whom lived in that part of London. Mr. SEBAG, a member of the deputation, observed that it was astonishing to see the number of little children in the wards of the hospital. A great ob ject of the deputation, he said, was to obtain the advocacy of the Lord Mayor in the Court of Com mon Council in the emergency. The LORD MAYOR said he should be doing the Court of Common Council an injustice if he thought they requ'red any advocacy of his on such an occa sion. 'lths was a question of humanity—(hear, hear) —and he had no doubt the corporation would Cheerfully respond whenever an appeal was made to tnem in such a case. They had always done so in similar cases, and he was sure they would not be wanting on this occasion. There was great distress in the er st of London, irrespective of that caused by cholera, among the fami"es of men out of work, and those people were thrown upon local charitie:, for relief. He had received two or three deputations on the subject, but he had been cautious about alarming the public. Ile thought, however, the time had now arrived when the merchants, bankers, and other principal citizens should be invited to join in a subscription towar is the relief of the prevailing distress. As respected the corporation, they were now in recess, and would not meet again until September. There would be much ("fliculty in convening a meeting of Common Council at present, when many of them were probably out of town ; but in the meantime the position of the hospital was hardly so bad as it might appear at first sight. The authorities had wisely appealed to the public, and he observed that by the aid of the newspaper press, considerable sums were flowing in from day to day. Mr. GURNEY, interposing, said they that morning received 170 letters containing donations, and they could not be too thankful for the liberality which was being shown them. The LORD MAYOR said the public were much in debted to them for their great energy in the emer gency. He was then going from there to the Privy Council-office, and would take an opportunity of mentioning what he heard from the deputation. He was inundated with letters about sanitary matters, and people seemed to be alarmed at the existence of anything that might produce malaria. From all ha could hear the disease had mostly attacked people who had but little stamina, and those who from their poverty, had but little to eat, and that little probably bad in quality. The deputation then took their leave. Mr. Gladstone and Lord Dunkellin's Amendment. A meeting of the East Kent Liberal Registration, held on Saturday at Canterbury, for the purpose of considering the conduct of Sir E. Dering in voting against the late Government upon the rating question of the Reform Bill, the following letters which had been sent to Mr. Knatchbu'l-Hugessen were read : ' "11, Carlton-house-terrace, S.W., July 30. " My dear Ifygessen,—l have received your letter, in closing a copy of ono addressed by Sir Edward Det:ng on the 16th of July to Ueut.-Ge.ieral WTiams ; and, as you have asked my opinion on the case, I shall consider your request as my wai:ant :or commenting on a matter which is indeed of beat public interest, but in which I have no title whatever to interfere. " I cannot say that Sir E. Del tig's reasons for voting with Lord DunkoWn have, in my view, any weight. lie says it was not proposed by Lord Dunkelli.: , , or by any ono else, to substitute a £7 rat'ng for a £7 rental. But I appre hend th's very thing was proposed by Mr. Cave, the gen- tleman selected to second the motion. The mover, I think, stated his preference :or a 16 rating, which would have ex cluded a barge number whom we had Foposed to enfran chise. Sir E. De - , 7ng w:lt recollect that the speakers for the amendment were gentlemen opposed either to the bill or to the franchise clauses. Ho says the Government should have proposed a rating franchise of an amou - it not hther than the £7 rental franchise. Now, as £6 ra' ing would have been materia'ly higher, he must app..rent'y mean that we ought ',CI have proposed a£s ra:iyg frenchise. But this, the next lowest figure, would have given an enfranchisement matt:3 , lllly larger than that of the b l 'l. I a on("er Sir E. does not see that if IVO had done this wo should for tho first time have g:veu colour, and even more than colour, to the charge which has from the beg7rtning been r-ged against us w ith such persistency and such gross and palpable injustice — the charg e of h aving d'sregar i l e d th e f ears a nd scruples of the moderate, and of having leant to the doc trines of extreme politicians. What he recommends as the obvious and easy remedy for the dilemma was in our view wholly inadmissible. "But it is one question whether the vote, or the reasons given for it, are gocd, and it is another whether I, if I were an elector of East Kent, shou l d withhold my supper t from Sir Edward Deng on account of it. It ought, I think, now to bo the great object of all who are in'erested either in the Liberal pat:y, or in the subject of Pa liamentary Refoun, to IA In about such au union 01 sentiment in the par:y as may obv:ate all risk of the repetition of the late unhappy events, and may secure a speedy and satisfactory settlement of the question. I give entire credence to any declaration proceed'ng from Sir E. Dering; and, examin ing his letter, with the view I have described, I find its meaning unequivocal, especially where he says that by proposing an equivalent enfranchisement in an altered form we should, "if beaten on that vital point," have "put ourselves in the right and our opponents in the wrong." This proves, without ente - t:ng into minute criticism, that Sir E. Dering was ft:encily to the substance of our me:- sure. On that g:ound, without in the least degree quali fying my opinion as to the particular vote, I not only, if I were one of your brother electors, should not vote against Sir E. Dering, bat I should continue to afford him exactly the same suppot t e as if that vote had not been given. I read his letter, and accept b's declarations, in the spirit of confidence, and not in the spirit of suspicion. We, the supporters of the b:il, who have had occasion to feel how the spirit of suspicion poisons the atmosphere of politics, and renders hopeless whrt otherwise, though difficult, was practicable enough, should, I think, set an example of dis carding it and of interpreting and treating others as we wish to be treated and inteipreted ourselves.—l remain, my dear llugessen, sincerely yours, " W. E. GLADSTONE. "E. Knatchbroi-Hugessen, Esq., M.P." " Pembroke-locigo, Richmond-park, S.W., Aug. 2, 1866. " My dear Ilugessen—l am quite prepared to endorse Gladstone's letter to you. I havo rett-.ned it to him with that opinion. Pray do all you can to soften the s;,out Liberals of your county, and tell them that the leaders of the pat with Gladstone and me at their head, think they ought to suppoi Poring. If ho agrees to the £5 rating franchise, as I understand him to do, he ought to be taken back into the fold. "Yours veiy ti ly, "RUSSELL." The reading of theseletters evoked great applause. Sir E. DERING then entered into a minute ex planation of his motives for supporting Lord Dun kelliu's amendment, and disclaimed all intention in so doing of seeking to retard the passing of the bill. fie had simply supported the amendment because he considered a rating qualification to be a more convenient arrangement than one of rental, and he had not expected that upon a mere queztion of de tail the Government would have resigned their offices. A prolonged discussion ensued, and a motion of censure upon Sir E. Dering was proposed, but was not pressed, it being finally agreed, upon the motion of Sir W. James, to let the matter stand over with out pronouncing any opinion upon the subject. The Loss of the London. (From Bell's Weekly Messenger of Aug. 4.). An interesting question was asked on Friday, in the House of Commons, *by Mr. Jasper More—the member for South Shropshire —in reference to the foundering of the steamship London, and to the promise given by the late Minister of the Board of Trade, that some measure should be introduced to facilitate and amend the official investigation of such calamities ; and we are glad to observe that Sir Stafford Northcotc, the present head of the Board, approached the subject in a considerate spirit, and declared that he would give it his best attention. In Mr. Jasper More also support of his question, pre sented a petition on behalf of those who had lost relatives in the vessel, of which the following is a copy TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM IN PARIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The humble petition of Edward Gilbert Highton, M.A., barrister-at-law, 42, Bedford-square. in the county of Mid dlesex, sheweth, that the said Edward Gilbert Highton bath recently lost a relative, Henry John Dennis, in the steam ship London, which foundered in the Bay of Biscay on the 11th of January last, and that the said Edward Gilbert Highton hath good reasons for believing that the founder ing of the said ship, and the consequent death of the said re l a tive and of his fellow - passengers, was occasioned by the negligent and careless manner in which the vessl was sent out to sea, and afterwards navigated, first by being con siderably overloaded with cargo especially in proportion to its dimensions, which were excessively long and narrow ; secondly, in having the cargo most improperly distributed, a large dead weight of iron being placed together in the hold, and largo quantities of loose coal being allowed to encumber the deck and stop up the seupper holes, thus rendering it impossible for water to run off when accumu lated there ; thirdly, in being taken out of port in rough weather, in the winter time, with "royal masts end on and topgallant yards across," a practice universally condemned by competent nautical authorities ; and, fourthly, in being unprovided with storm sails, with se cure boat accommodation in case of distress, and with proper appliances for using the same, as well as with ac cessible and serviceable signals in the shape of rockets, dm; furthermore, that the ship was navigated without due re gard to the safety of life, being driven on through a vio lent gale after suffering several accidents, and when in a condition wholly unfit for contending with the elements. Your petitioner begs also to state, that, though an inquiry into the circumstances of the disaster has already taken place, yet it was by no means such an one as to afford satisfaction to the parties immediately interested, or to the public at large; first, because through certain technical difficulties cross-examination of witnesses by counsel could not be permitted ; secondly, because independent witnesses were not summoned or even invited to give evidence ; thirdly, because authentic testimony of an important cha racter, and directly bearing upon the questions at issue, has only come to light since the termination of the inquiry alluded to ; and, fourthly, because the inquiry itself ended in no positive result, and was not so conducted as to insure strict and unquestionable impartiality. Wherefore your petitioner humbly prays that your honourable houseto will be pleased to appoint a select committee to make a full investigation into all the cirocaumsp he which conduced to bring about the lamentable from which he and so many others .abrieo the e t r i. res,ca: bothse sf for the purpose of determining future to, those who may the same, and also of affordifinPg:oassdoldnittrioesntalthsoaifregliuvaersdasnind yourfortunes t petitioner, vessels eal as in ioof EDWARD dutywpl i to a D t o v h oG e e d :o jiw n ui d ßl l o T n e vi N ie v ir a o s pHt a la, oy t y N. 0 3 . 1 And .A., Barrister-at-Law. 42, Bedford -square, London.

THE CAUSE OF STREET ACCIDENTS.—John Kyffin, of 16, Dorset-street, Dorset-square, badge 9,202, was charged before Mr. Knox with:being drunk, furiously driving, and damaging a wagonette and injuring a horse. Police-constable Webb, 114 C, said that in consequence of what he was informed last night he went to Regent circus, and found that the prisoner, who was drunk, had been furiously driving a horse attached to a Hansom cab, and had damaged a wagonette and inj tired the horse, the horse and wagonette being driven at the time by Mr. J. Parkes, licensed victualler, of 2, Queen-street, Soho. He took the horse to the station. In answer to Mr. Knox, the constable said he believed the injuries to the horse and the wagonette had been set tled for. No ono was hurt. Prisoner said he had had no tea ; ho had had a little brandy, and the horse was a very awkward one to drive. Mr. Knox referred to the prisoner's license, and found that on the 28th July ho was fined 20s. for furious driving. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner's employer if he thought the prisoner was a fit man to hold a license. The employer said that the prisoner had never been fined Knox temp li l g o h y t er of if the th at was Mr. a s it asked shied h at e the lamps. before the 28th July, and th a t h o might have had a glass or two last Bight, but the h orse wa s a very awkward one to drive, the case why he had sent such a h orse out? T he pr i so ner had driven about the streets to th e r i s k of life, an d wo uld not be easy till he killed somebody. Ile should fine the prisoner 405., and if he was charged again he would lose his license. The employer was about to address the magistrate, but Mr. Knox declined to hear him, stating that he was not altogether blameless iu the matter. THAMES. THREATENING TO SHOOT, AND WOUNDING. —Ludwig Schultze, a sugar baker, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with threatening to shoot Christopher Younge, a dock labourer, who appeared in court with a large surgical plaster on his head. The parties are Germans, and the evidence was trans lated by Mr. Wintjon, interpreter to the court. On Satur day evening the prosecutor, an old man, went to No. 18, Buckle-street, Whit ec h ape l , where the pr i soner i s living, to visit his grandson, Jacob Schime, a lad. The prisoner was in the room, and a quarrel took place about family matters. The prisoner, who was in a violent passion, took a loaded pistol from his breast, pointed it at Younge, and threatened to shoot him. Tho boy interfered, took the pistol away from the prisoner, and hung it on a nail in the wall. Some time afterwards the prisoner stabbed the old man on the head, inflicting a serious wound from which he bled profusely. The prosecutor went into the street, and met a police-constablo, named Nathan Nicholas, No. 36 11, to whom ho gave the pistol and made him understand what had taken place. The policeman drew the charge from the pistol, went to the house in Buckle-street, and took the prisoner into custody. After upwards of ono hour's investigation Mr. Paget remanded tho prisoner, intimating that ho should commit him for trial. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. The market open s or 8,000 bales. quiet.

Two FAMOUS ACTRESSES OF THE LAST GENERA TION.—At the conversazione which, on Wednesday evening, may be said to have closed th e E x hibi t i on o f the is Royal Academy , and which likely to be the last of a long annual series (it being proposed to hold two, earlier in the season, instead of ono at its close), the rooms were crowded with celebrities of every class— perh a p s f ew a tt rac ti ng m ore notice than two ladies—the Dowager Countess of Essex and Lady Becher ; the former, the queen of English warblers of her day, as MISS STEPHENS ; tho latter, the queen of tragedy, MISS O'NEIL, who has had no royal suc cessor since she left the stage, now nearly half a century ago. m k o SPORTING NOTES. Now that the Goodwood Meeting has come off the less said about the mysterious doings of the metallic operators the better. There was a great, gathering of spectators, bookmakers, and welchers; but the latter class had the worst of it, as the g e _ neral public went more for amusement than for backing horses. What with bills of sale on horses, others scratched when the last penny has been got out of them, and the equivocal intentions of owners, horseracing is fast getting into as bad repute as prize-fighting. Brighton races commence to-morrow. For the stakes there is a very moderate lot of horses engaged. The top weight, Archimedes, has lost all form, and has no chance. Tomato has clone no work, and can't win. Ackworth has got too much weight. Scamander, Bradamante, Rama, and The Beadle are badly in. Of the remaining lot I can see nothing to beat Wild Agnes and Westwick, and I fancy them in the order named. Bradamante can win the Marine Plate, should Mr. Payne think proper to run her. Ostregor will beat The Duke in the Champagne, as the latter will not forget his severe race in the Goodwood Cup fur some time. The Fourteenth Biennial Stakes will be a good race between Cecrops and Auguste, and the former ought to win, as he beat a better lot of horses at Newmarket than the Frenchman met at Goodwood. The Railway Stakes will be a match between Knight of the Garter and Fripponier, the former for choice. A FRESH MAN. RACING FIXTURES FOR ISGG. AUGUST.

This morning the contest between Mace and Goss for £4OO came off without interruption. The party, consisting of over 300 persons, started from St. Paul's Pier for a trip down the river, and on ar- riving off Purfleet at about a quarter to 8 o'clock, the anchor was dropped, and the passengers were taken off in small parties in boats, and landed on the southern side of the river. The persons in, charge of the ropes and stakes were amongst the first to go ashore, the object being to get the ring formed with as little delay as possible. It was the work of 20 minutes nearly to land the whole of the passengers, but by the time the last boatload reached the shore the ring was not only formed but Mace and Goss had entered it with the usual greet- Ong, awaiting the arrival of the referee, an office fulfilled by a gentleman attached to the staff of an old established sporting paper. On reaching the ring this gentleman stepped inside for the purpose of giving some necessary instructions, simultaneously with which the belligerents retired to their respec tive corners, attended by their seconds, and they, without the least delay, commenced making what in pugilistic parlance is called their " toilette"—in other words, they divested themselves of their walking attire, under which they wore white breeches, trimmed at the knee with a gay ribbon. Having " stripped," they each stood up, raising their muscular arms inthe air amidst the admiring shouts of the spectators, while their seconds rubbed with towels their brawny backs and shoulders. Both men looked in splendid condition, and though dressed, or rather undressed alike, and of the same size and weight, still they were as unlike each other as it is possible for two men to be. Mace, with a skin the colour of that of a mulatto, Looked the beau ideal of a highly-trained muscular man. Goss, on the other hand, has a skin perfectly white, with a not very prepossessing expression of countenance, and a somewhat disproportionedfigure, and appeared the least likely of the two to come off victoriously. He manifested, nevertheless, the most determined pluck through the contest, though he got very severely handled. Both men, to use a thread bare phrase, appeared decidedly " eager for the fray." They advanced from their corners to the centre of the very limited area, and cordially shook hands, Mace jokingly cautioning his opponent to "take care of himself." Having gone through this form of " good fellowship," they at once receded from each other, and put themselves into position. No sooner had they assumed their respective attitudes than Mace led off the fight. After carefully feeling his way, and making several feints, which Goss cleverly countered, he succeeded in slightly touching his man about the head and face, when the partisans of Goss shouted "Go in, Goss, give him no time." This advice served to move Goss to more energetic action, and after re ceiving one or two slight taps from. Mace he drew his left fist up to his breast, and sending it forth from the shoulder with fearful violence struck Mace heavily on the chest. Mace, closely eyeing this movement, sought to avoid the full effects of th e blow aimed at him by springing slightly on one side, but in doing this he lost his equilibrium and toppled a little forward. With extraordinary alacrity Goss, following up his left handed blow upon his oppo nent's breast, struck upwards with his right, trying to accomplish what is termed an " upper cut." He failed, however, to make good his aim, for Mace dropped back to his corner, and again springing forward he struck Goss very severely on the left eye. They then closed, and, after exchanging some severe hitting, separated, and striking at each other at the same moment they both fell to the ground after fighting five minutes. They were carried to their corners amidst tremend ous cheering. The favourable opinion that had existed for Goss being already shaken, odds in favour of Mace were freely offered. They were up to time in the second round, and after exchanging some heavy blows, Mace struck his adversary on the left eye, which he sought to follow up with his right hand, but this. attempt was countered cleverly by Goss, who in return struck at Mace but failed to land his blow. They finally closed and fell to the ground, Goss undermost. In the third round Goss's face was already covered with the blood that flowed from a cut over his left eye, still he was up to time, and advanced to the attack almost savagely, striking with all his power directly at Mace's face.

Sharp blows were exchanged, an d, closing, they both fell heavily to the ground_ In the sixth round Goss again struck Mace on the same eye, which he returned by striking Goss with his left baud on the right cheek, completely laying it open. In the seventh round both men, who appeared equally as determined as when exchanged some heavy blows, and finally fell to the ground, Mace undermost. In the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh rounds the fighting was very rapid and severe, Goss iu every case getting the worst. In the 12th both men sparred a little more, and then both men closing, Mace threw his man, striking him twice in the face while he was in the act of falling. In the 13th Goss threw Mace. In the 14th, 15th, and 16th rounds the fighting was equally desperate, Goss by this time • (25 mi nutes) becoming nearly blind from the blows he had received on his eyes. Mace in two or three rounds was thrown by Goss, and in two Mace threw his adversary. On the 17th, 18th, 10th, and 20th the same punishment was received by Goss, still he was up to the time in each instance, but in M he 9 1st round the sponge was thrown u p , and ace proclaimed the victor, after fighting 21 rounds in 30 minutes. 1 is.. l,:, *1.4,1 0 7'l : 11 - ed iat on ; ht osi- jes Ig b ari the n ot fhe ?se- 31 011- ad ILI eprc ,efora 0 f 5: 1110' l'r° - to i t God til ° ttl"t I
