LONDON, FRIDAY, SErirmsta 21, lfga.

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 Debuts,
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

GENEVA, SEPT. It

Tba preliminary discussions upon the project of the kw relative

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

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.

Aconsiderable sensation was occasioned this morning by
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 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 affrays in many 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-

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 is
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

ST. PATRICK'S MARINE INSURANCE

COMPANY.

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.

CHELTEN.II.44II, SEPT. 20.

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.
The sport to-day was short, but it was of the first qua-
lity for excellence, and gave infinite satisfaction. The tour
laces came Ur as follow

Such was the anxiety to have a view of the renowned winner t f
last year's St. Leper, that the spectators flocked to the rails as if an-
other Leger was about to be run. His rider. Scott, gratified them a,
much as possible. Another horse, a hack. which accompanied Lim
in the t• t. Leger Course, came in, in tolerably strong running order,
instead of the customary walk or canter.

Ile is in the Gold Cup of to-morrow. A bay colt, 3 yrsi
old, by Rinaldo, dam by Young Chariots out of Vanguard,
was bought by Mr. Tattersall for 100 guineas.
The tickets for the Grand Stand, although not so pro,
ductive as last year, have sold pretty well at the original
liet:ing-rooms, and the other places appointed for theta,
of them, at one guinea for the week. The proceeds up to
the St. Leger amounted to between 1,500 and 1,60 n
guineas. 'l' he sake of horses each morning have been pretty
well attended by sporting men, it being arranged that they
should be brought opposite the original Betting-rooins, as
at Newmarket.

We have hitherto omitted to mention the names of ti,
Stewards, W. Russell, Esq. and the Hon. Cul. Cradock
who gave a gold cup ofthe value of 200 guineas, 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 circematarc 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

the Judge), who, in order to make " assurance (icy*

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.

WREST! ING —(FoonYtt DAY.)
WRESTLING.— . .

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. 11
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 some of
their bott teen to the next wrestling match, to oppose CBllO.
Tae remainder of the evening was occupied in private matches,
one of which was between a slight young Irian simian of 0.0
Cornish Committee, and u rough Dmonian. !Avon was instan,li
thrown. Ano:htr cotte yoong Devonian (Tilk), who had been
