PUGILISM.

H. ORME AND H. JONES FOR 201. A-SIDR, AND
CHARLES IIALLETT AND THOMAS GRIFFITHS FOR
50/. A-SIDE -It might, at first sight, seem to many
that the heading of this paragraph is a retroversion,
so far as the larger stake contended for is placed second
in order. But, i❑ these days of lightness and speed,
wherein velocity is power, an encounter between wl at
is conventionally termed " big men" is o rare as to
command the attention of the chronicler. Of the
twain, Orme and Jones, the scribe can say no further
than that this was, as regarded each, "a first appear-
ance upon any, stage"—and therefore slight mistakes,
errors in judgment, and too ambitious a desire to
displays cleverness not possessed, nor attainable unless
by experience and practice, must be excused. The
men were of the respective weights of 1 Ist. llb. Orme,
and list. 31b. Jones—though, as the latter, a youth,
has attained the perpendicular of 5 feet .10i- inches,
while Or:ne, with three or four years more to
convert his cartilage to bone, is only 5 feet
inches, the contrast in substance may be imagined
without description. Jones was enquired by Hannan
and Fuller, Orme by Hazeltine and Rowe. The
ground was Frimley-green, in Surrey, whither, by
landing at the Farnborough station, in Hants, the spot
was reached. There the Commissary-General pitched
his stakes, and at a little after one o'clock the aspi-
rants for praise and pelf showed themselves within
the hempen enclosure. The battle raged for two
hours and forty .five minutes, with varied success;
yet an observation or two on in its progress may not
be altogether without instruction to those who were
not there. For the first four rounds, Jones, whose
presiding genius was Jem Burn, got cleverly on to his
man, whose iron hardy mug, brown as the late Gipsy
Cooper's, and rough and ready form, threatened re-
taliation whenever he should get near enough. This
time was not " a long time coming boys," for in
the fourth round he popt in a body hit that made
Jones very cautious how he again took a liberty
with his head. Long and tedious sparring, with-
out brilliant !points, marked the next half-dozen
rounds. The 7th occupying 27 minutes, the
Bth 19 minutes ; yet they here and there
showed determination and courage in the exchanges
of hits. In brief, Orme had his man heavily on ribs
and head, till his physical power seemed to leave him,
so far as hitting was concerned, although he stopped
prettily, took his punishment bravely, and often
threw Orme in the closes. At the 40th round, two
hours and three-quarters having been counted on the
umpire's watch, Hannan threw up the sponge in
token of Jones's defeat, and Orme was hailed as con-
queror. Jones was liberally backed at 5 and 6to 4
till the sth round.

GRIFFITHS AND MALLETT, FOR 501 A SIDE.—
Woking was the battle-ground of these well-known
antagonists. Mallett, patronised by the Surrey men,
who inhabit " long Southwerke," Griffiths, though a
Lancastrian, backed by the " Woolwich division.''
contended for 1 hour and 33 minutes, during
which 73 rounds were fought. Griffiths, after the
third round, taking a lead of the Borough. man, and
keeping it, despite all the artful dodges of the school.
Mallett, however, deserves praise for the coolness he
displayed in receiving punishment, and the persever-
ance with which he rowed a stern wager," against
youth, reach, steadiness, strength, and resolution,
all of which were united in the person of the victor.
The betting at beginning was 5 to 4 on Griffiths.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.—At a Court of Aldermen
held yesterday, a conference was agreed to with the
consolidated committee of the Court of Common
Council relative to the constitution of the Board of
Conservators of the river ; and some of the aldermen
expressed their hope that the legal proceedings between
the Government sad the Corporation would be termi-
nated. Mr. Alderman Sidney attributed the lawsuit to
the objectionable course of delegating matters to sub-
committees, and the secrecy of their proceedings. Others
of the aldermen considered that the lavv.uit had bee n
unavoidable. A report was brought up from the Pri-
vilegeiXommittee on the letter of Mr. Pete, M.P., re.
specting his election as sheriff. It represented that the
lion. Gentleman was justified in decling to act, he being
a Member of Parliament. A report was agreed to, which
recommends d an applictt ion to the Treasury fur payment
of the costs of prosecutions and expense of maintaining
convicts.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, DEC. 18.
_ .

There was a fair supply of wheat at market, but the
continued wet weather has now materially affected the
condition of it, and this wet day also tended to make it
worse ; it sold ste=adily at late prices. Barley in good
supply, fine sod much as of late, but the second
and inferior sorts, of which a large portion of the supply
consisted, were difficult to sell. There were some 1,,w
samples of beans and peas, which were bought a little in
favour of the buyer. 'There appears to be no demand for
malt.

there was a more moderate show of farmers' wheat than
of late, and the conditio❑ a good deal affected; fine dry
samples brought I,i more money, but. the trade was not
brisk. More itiviry after old foreign, but not much
business resulting; the quantity dieting from vessel is
very moderate, and landed parcels are held a good deal
above late rates. Nothing doing in malting barley;
good grinding supports its price. More inquiry for ell
beans, but new ones are quit, neglected. Not much
business passing in linseed, iheugh we do not alter cur
quota:ions. In linnet d cakes bu)ers have an sdiantsge,
but rape cakes are more sought after at the lute reduc-
tion. No bones afl at, and business wenting.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 18.—Our supplies from Ireland and
coastwise during the past week have been light of wheat
and oats, but to a fair extent of oatmeal and flour. From
foreign ports we have a largo arrival of wheat, but in-
significant of other articles ; and from Canada we have
received 8,253 barrels of flour and 500 loads of oatmeal.
The exports in the same time have been unimportant.
The trade has been rather more lively, with a moderate
business doing in wheat at full prices. India corn has
been in fair r. quest, and holders have advanced their
pretensions 6d to Is per quarter. For other articles'
there has been merely a retail demand at late prices. At
this day's market there was a fair attendance of the
town and country trade, but only a limited demand was
experienced fur wheat, at last Tuesday's prices for
foreign, and an advance of Id to 2d per 701 b on not
Irish. Oats and oatmeal were in moderate request,
and realised 11d per 451 b, and 3d to 6d per load advance.
For barley, beans, and peas there was a fair retail sale
at full prices. Fine qualities of flour were held for
rather more money, which checked the sale, but common
runs were quite neglected. There was not much
in-
quiry for Indian corn, but holders were firm at 30s per
quarter for white, and 28s 6d to 2114 per quarter for
prime yellow.
LEEDS, DEC. 18.—There is a fair demand for good
wheats at fully last week's prices, and in some instances
a little more money has been obtained, but we can
quote no alteration in inferior qualities. Good barley
maintains its value, as also oats and beans. Christmas'
day falling on Tuesday next, our market will be holden
on Wednesday.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—Thera was more business done to-

which are flying about with regard to some lines of 1.41101

to run down prices, and by this means obtain possession
stock before the ri,ia so confidently expected to take place 11'
the commencement of the ensuing year. The transaction
to-day were as follow :—Hereford (calls duly paid), 251/4

the week the market exhibited a better feeling,
prices, in some instances, advanced 111 I. per lb. Sir, er
then, however, things have become dull and 4t:0;
and this advance has been lost. The market cl°st3;
to-day very tamely. A good business has been d°ll
in goods and yarns at firm prices, and as stocks Ir.„"
light a very healthy feeling prevails in the trade. 114;

during the week, and the business done chiefly on tb,,cl
