BOXIA G.

Joel Harris, the Willshireman, who was matched at Ep-
som Hunt races, as the man uuknowu to the prise ring, to
fight Brow laessey, whom he beat Is good form, entered
lb, ring yesterday morning with Gilbert, the Berkshire navi-
gator, ■ stone the benieat, and whose character was that
of having won fourteen fights, and put one matt to sleep.
The batik was rued() sovereigns. and it took place in a me.-
do• at Thorn, six miles from Surstfieldssy, the seat of the
Duke of Wellington, in the presence of a strong master
from the western nursery fur millers. It was a short but
oat•awd•oat fight.
At setting to the disparagement in size was equal to
Neale and G►s. Gilbert San in owl his ad. y, but
missing Iwo round bits, a clove &Bowed, and Gilbert gave
the fall, but not without much wrestling. The aura tried to
WOO*, hut they wanted lessons.
This was .nigh for a fight, as a meagre bred one
would say. The navigator, iu making the play, received
heavy on the olfactory organ, sad the claret halrinnothered
him. He broke away, and felt as if he had lust bis nose,
■platter deliberately wiping the claret he turned to again,
and doubled up his adversary by a body hit which tent him
bending away. The men them deliberately walked up to
each tither as if they bad bargained to give and tahe,
and some smashing work followed, but Harris had the worst
of the round from want of equal strength, and he was
floored by a hit to the wind which dropped his on his face.
Both were much cut up is the round, which lasted fourteen
"Dimities.

34, 4tb, and sth. These rounds produced no material mis-
chief, as both were too tired to commence operations ; bet
as wrestlers much science was displayed, and Gilbert's
strength gave bun best in the falls.
6th. A s■nguiaary round, in which both mem were seve-
ral times bit tu astand•sttll. It tasted eleven watomes, sod
was all Wiling., Harris, fur the first lime, got his heavy
right•haaded blow placed us the ear of his adversary, and
he fell as kr shot.

The 7tb round settled the fight by Gilbert receiving a
choking bit in the throat, mid he woe earned away. Harris
won it iu 32 minutes, ■ad Mr. Courteaey, his master, sq.
'nod. shelving his adopted off amongst sonic of notoriety i■
Loudon of his weight.

At the Norfolk Quarter Sessions on Wednesday,
the 17th last, the Court came to an important
decision on the poor laws, on an appeal by the Rev.
Dr. Rtmirtlt,irector of Caerston, against the poor
reins lor that parish. The Doctor had been rated
at 550/. fur his.tiihes, against which he appealed,
upon the ground that it exceeded a fourth of the
assessment upon the litheable property in the
.parith, which he contended was the proportion ■t
which tithes should he assessed to the poor-rate.
The Court disnii.sed the appeal, bring unanimously
of opinion that there was no rule in law for fixing
a proportional assessment on tithes compared with
land, ■nd that the oily principle was, to assess all
real proper,ty according to the productive value or
profit which it yielded. The determination is
im-
portant, as it recognizes • principle, the general
application of which, at die present time, will ite-
mainly be attended with the most serious results
both to the farmer at,d the clergy, upon the !ut-
ter of whom 11:e chief burden of supporting the
poor will sew be thrown.—(Bostuis Gazette.)
