PUGILISM.
GRANT AND JAMES FOR 25/. ASIDE.--The pugilis-
tic aspirants, whose names preface this paragraph,
were, as all the circle which takes an interest in this
variety of feats of arms know, matched, some weeks
since, to try their skill in the art offensive and defen-
sive for a stake of fifty.
Of the men, we shall hriefly say, that Grant, known
as " Glenister's Novice," had won " golden opinions"
from all sorts of cognoscenti, who had witnessed his
determined style of " gloving" at various sets-to in
the sparring-rooms of the metropolis; and hence,
with that consequent determination, which follows as
certainly as cause and effect, panted to try with the
naked knuckle the truth of his fistic arguments. The
opportunity offering, it was readily embraced, and
finding friends, the present match was made. ;Of
James, his worthy, though unsuccessful antagonist,
we can only say, that, sprung from Nottinghamshire,
a county that has given us both Caunt and Bendigo,
he had been, previously to his locating himself as a
silk-weaver near Mitcham, remarked as a " likely
lad," and one that was fully capable of maintaining
the character of the midland district. The weight of
the men was limited to 9st. 101bs., and at scale James
showed 21bs. beneath the stipulated figure, while
Grant required one pound and a half to make up the
avoirdupoise. The Witch, steamer, was chartered
for this adventure, and at a few minutes before one
disembarked her living cargo near Greenhithe.
The lists were quickly formed, and at half-past
twelve the last boat-load being ashore, the men cast
their gauntlets (caps we should say, in these pro-
saic days) within the staked enclosure. Grant
was esquired by Sam Martin and Jem Turner, James
being attended on by Barnash and Macdonald. Of
the contest itself we shall rather offer the result than
its details. On throwing themselves into attitude,
the superior height and reach of James was manifest,
he had certainly the advantage of a couple of inches,
or thereabout. They were soon at work, and it was
clear that each bad come to fight and not to spar;
Grant proved the harder hitter, and certainly most
capable of staying. In the second round James,
however, succeeded in getting one event, first
blood. After: a game contest, in which the
chances and changes were, as they always must be
between two active, clever, and courageous men,
various and fluctuating, although Grant was through-
out steadily getting the better of his man, James was
thrown heavily in the 45th round. He struggled
gallantly on until the 50th, when, his last chance
being out, he came up to be sent down, and accord-
ingly Grant was hailed the victor, after 50 rounds,
occupying one hour and seven minutes. As a nota
bene to members of the ring and their patrons, we
may observe, that, by the stipulation of Dan. Dis-
more, this battle was contested with fair sparables in
the men's shoes in lieu of the detestable and danger-
ous spikes of late worn ; and we certainly did not
observe that there was any increase of the falling"
or " slipping ;" on the contrary, the men stood up
fairly and firmly—a proof, if such a fact needed
proving, that these modern addenda are as unnecessary
as they are dangerous.

THE CORN TRADE.
No mitigation has taken place in the position of
monetary affairs: indeed difficulties appear rather to
be on the increase, one or two country banks having
been obliged to suspend their payments. Paper which
in ordinary times would be considered good, can now
scarcely be discounted at any rate of interest; and we
believe as much as 8f per cent. has this week been
charged by the Bank of England on first-class bills,lled
Under these circumstances merchants are comps
to contract their business operations ; and the corn
trade has felt the effect of this state of things as
se-
verely as any branch of commerce.

and this appearsas luifeewly to be the case all through
the
able, winter, as
large stocks. Farmers appear, never-
theless, to be tolerably confident that prices will not
recede much, and have certainly as yet manifested
very little anxiety to realise. The smallness of the
supplies from the growers had no doubt been partly
caused by the fact that they have been fully occupied
in the fields ; but the general impression is that, even
when wheat sowing shall have been completed, no
very great increase will occur in the deliveries of
wheat, unless prices hold out more inducement to
thrash than they do at present. Considering that
the crop of barley has yielded abundantly, we
think that growers will, in the first instance, prefer
bringing that grain forward, particularly as its value
is, in comparison to that of Wheat, relatively high.
It is now about tbree months since the panic in the
corn trade commenced ; no orders of consequence
have since been sent from this country to purchase
grain abroad, and as foreigners would not be likely
when cognizant of the position of affairs here to con-
sign, the probability is that the arrivals will for the
remainder of the year be small. There may s

The advices from thence of

sellers appear to have become more pressing, and on Fri-
day the best Western Canal Flour was offered at 255. per
brl. The accounts from the chief markets in the agri-
cultural districts inform us that the dull tone of the
advices from London and elsewhere had had the effect
of causing purchasers to exercise increased caution ;
at the same time farmers had, it seems, refrained
from pressing sales at any material decline. That
there is still some quantity of foreign wheat to
come forward is more than probable ; but we are in-
clined to think, as already intimated, that the greet
