PUGILISM.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—Perry, the Tipton Slasher, has ad-
dressed a letter, challenging Caunt to a pugilistic tournament
for 2001. aside, and adds that Bendigo will be in town next
week with the belt, which he has announced his intention
of presenting to the winner, should there be a contest, or to
that man who shall be ready to meet all corners, without
being able to find a customer. Caunt is understood to sti-
pulate that the stake should be 3001. a-side, and that the
affair shall come off upon a stage. In reply, it is urged,
that it was formally settled, some years since, that the holder
of the title of Champion should be compelled to do battle for
the minimum stake of 2001., or forfeit his claim to be so
called ; and furthermore, that to propose a stage at the
present day is a palpable evasion of the encounter, as its con-
struction would be a signal of defiance to the magistrates in
any county where its fixture took place. These seem to be
be valid objections, and time will shortly show which of the
pugilistic candidates is in earnest in his proposal of a match.

ierial for their consideration. He knew that multitudes
had been ruined by the system cf plunder adopted in
joint-stock companies ; that many individuals had not

nexion with speculations of the kind. Success would
altered the tone of such censurers. " Oh! but," said
they, "Alderman Wood has got into pecuniary difficul-
ties by making the experiment." The wonder was, in
his opinion, how a man who entered into speculations of
this kind continued to escape ruin at all, for it was well
known there were innumerable instances in which men
of integrity were sacrificed, while the basest of mankind
pocketed the money of which the former were plun-
dered. Those who made Mr. Wood an alderman
had a right to see him in the most elevated position. It
would, no doubt, be discreditable for a chief magistrate
to be dodged from post to pillar in consequence of pe-
cuniary liabilities and wants, but Alderman Wood had Dr. Phillimore and family have returned to tows
