LEWES RACES.—These ninth, which come off on.
the 10th and 17th August, bid fair this year to gain some
.'clar in the sporting world. The entries gee numerous, the
stakes nych larger than usual, and, altogether, there is no
reason why the Lewes race-hill should not become us emi-
nent for testing the merit of the first bloods as soy course in
England. Thu Wills not surpassed by acy, end the train-
ing grounds in the neighbourhood are truly excellent.—

A Pion FIGHT.—One of those disgusting exhi-
bitions called a prise fight, took place on the plantation
farm, in the parish of Littleport, on Tuesday, between Jene
Edwards, of Cheltenlam, and Topper Brown, a native oi
Leicester, fur 1001. a side. After a brutal contest, which
lasted between five and six hours, Edwards was de-
clared the canq . One of the Isle magistrates re-
ceived intimation of the circumstance by post, on the
morning of the fight, and Immediately gave orders to the
police constable to inform his superintendent of the fact,
and to take the necessary steps to prevent it ; all the avail-
able men were ordered to be in readintes, but, from accidental
circumstances a conveyance could not be procured, and tho
train had just left. A sergeant and five men prcoeeded on
foot to the place of coot), ct, which was eight miles from Ely;
they arrived at a quarter-past 2 p.m.; the combotante had
Oath been fighting about an hour:; when within a short dis-
tance an alarm was given that the police were coming, the
ropes, SA., were removed a short distance into tho county of
Norfolk, where the fight was finished. There could not
have been (ewer than from 1,500 to 2,000 people present,
amongst them several gentlemen from Ely, and a noble lord.
and other LondonCorinthians,who ought t know better than
associate with such people, and to witness so disgraceful an
affair. A second fight took place between Con Quin and
Owen Owens, which kited about an hour and a half, Quin
being the victor.—The greater part of this respectable
company, including pickpockets, blacklegs, and all the
broken-nosed, sherveropped blackguards from London,
"with foreheads villainous low,"
were taken to Mildenholl by special train, and so returned
in the evening, not being allowed to stop at Ely or Cam-
bridge stations. One circumstatco centered worth men-
tioning. During the fight, some one stole the engines
driver's watch; when the hour fur returning arrived, the
man refused to stir an inch until his watch was returned.
This being communicated to the editor of a well-known
sporting paper, the "office " WAS given, and the " swag"
returned in a twinkling.—Cambridge Indrp'ndent Press.
CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.—The contest for
the Silver Challenge Sculls, the symbol of Thames cham-
pionship amongst gentlemen amateurs, took place yesterday.

lenge Sculls are a floating prise, the holder beiog compelled
to row any aspirant to the championship every 6E1843. On

P. Cayford, who received the sculls last year from Mr.
Payne. The distance was from Putney to Kew-bridge.
Mr. Cammejor, who won the Diamond Sculls at Henley
this season, was the favourite. The two gentlemen started
evenly, and continued so for fifty yards, when Mr. Cass-
major drew himself clear at the Duke's Head, and at
Searle's was another boat in advance. Oraduai.y Mr. Case-
major increased the lead, and woo by several lengths with

coils.

CHOLERA IN ITALY.—A letter from Milan
CjorifhoerdE2
Tlind. in the Opinion of Terin, states that the cholera
as nearly disappeared from Paris sad Milan ; but the
same letter gives a lamentable account of the state of
Brescia, where the malady is at its height ; all the wealthy
inhabitants have left, the churches and shops are china,
and even the payment of taus has been suspended from
the difficulty of collecting them. At Bologna the cuss
enrage 100 per day.
