W. lIAXES AND S'
—The encounter of tl '.ook
lace yesterday, on ,n of
,king, a water pa _ enilly
:ason of the year, being wisely eschewed, and the rail
of the South-western patronised. The interest which
the match gave birth to was manifest by the attendance
of between three and four hundred of the London divi-
sion, recruited by a telesable gathering of the natives of
the parts adjacent to the scene of action. Martin has
been long before the public as a pugilist ; his game
battles with 0. Attenbury and Williams, of the outset of
his-career' and his more skilful, though less lottunste
ones with Tom Lane, Phelps, of Brighton (twice), to-
gether with his defeat of Baru:sin en this very
Around, bear testimony to high skill and good eon-
fidsnee on the part of his backer% True i: is, that
there weze not wanting those who insinuated that
Martin's went of Suec(as in his remstkable battles
with Phelp and Lsne was attributable rather to a
lsck of game and pereevetenee than to plipi al
incallichy. Such, however, as witnessed- to-dav's con-
test will coness their error, for, though del,ated, Martin's
cot duet. a as ceurageous in the ext relate omit his strength
left him, which it always crincars to dh after a certain
period, a hatever lead or advantage he may have ac-
quired by his skill and science. IL:yes is, in comparison
eith Martin, a fresh youth, as yet in his novitiate, and a
hkely plant if not brought too rspidry forwardEagainst
first-rater, apt as he has shown himself, at each succeed-
ing appearance in the roped arena, first with Finn; se-
coial;y with Cooper; and now with the ace mplished Mar-
tin, he has much to learn before it will 'he safe to match
him with the top of the light weights, as was yesterday
tasked of among his more sanguine admirers. The inner
and outer rings being duly formed by the veteran
commissary, at twenty-five minutes before twelve, the
men advanced from their corners and shook hands
manfully, end threw themselves into position. Martin
squired by Turner and young Sainbo, while Maley
and Barnash waited on Hay-es. The weights were
—Martin, 9.4. 71b., Hayes 94. Gib. Hayes having the
advantage of length of reach, Martin his balance
of weight in muscularity of build. The sparring, feints,
and stops were numerous and skilful, and elicited loud
applause from the critics in this branch of the arts of
attack and defences. Hayes at length got in a trifling
tap on Martin's left eye, which flushed the skin a little;
Martin returned heavily with the right on the bodya
pretty mutual stop of left-handed counters, at length
brought them to a rally, when Martin got home over
Hayes's left eye. The second round was similar in cha-
racter, Hayes undermost in close. In the third Hayes
got the first event, by drawing the purple fluid slightiy
trom Martin's olfactory organ, and threw him in the
close. Thenceforth, the battle progressed until the 20th
round with much equality of skill, courage, and merit,
Hayes appearing the fresher and stronger man, while
Martin was the more skilful in the use of
both hands. lie frequently visited Hayes's side
with his right, in a style that appeared considerably to
embarrass the young one's left, and deprive it of much
of its hitting power. About this point Martin, who
had for 62 minutes, boldly faced his man with a pros-
pect of victory (several times, after slipping down, ltsp-
ing up, and courageously renewing the round), visbaly
and remarkably fell off. He b.came slow, and after
being thrown in the 21st round, was ineffective, 'and
completely out in his distance, Throwing away both hands
widely. We cannot say that Hayes became confident,
for from the outset be fought with excellent temper,
coolness, good humour, and determined courage. In the
27th and 28th rounds Martin, after a random attempt at
a rally to turn the tide in his favour, went down, and
his last chance was out. Turner threw up the sponge,
and at 93 minutes from the time of first crossing hand,
Haves stepped across the ring once more to shake hands
with his detected antagonist. Martin has thus been de-
feated in four battles out of the last five, a proof that
mere skill, unless seconded by a due quantum of
lasting qualities, cannot successfully oppose yosith,
coolness, strength, and resolve. Shortly atter the battle
the victor was seen walking
.the common enjoying a
cigar, the outward signs of his recent affray being by no
means prominently remarkable.—Adverliser.

ROYAL EXCHANGE CHIMES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUM
Sia,—Allow us, in justice to ourselves, to state
that the ill effect of the tune " God save the Queen,"
as now played, is caused by its injudicious arrange-
ment. iVe have the written testimony of Mr. T.
Cooke and other high musical authorities as to this
fact, and as the Gresham Committee referivl the
matter to Mr. Cooke, he arranged the four tunes
intended to be played in such a way as to bring out
the best points and effects that sag be produced on
bells. Two of these tunes weie completed and
played to his satisfaction, but for some reason, never
explained to us, they were taken off the barrel imme-
diately after his death, and the public were never
allowed to hear them. The present miserable affair
was then set after a similar fashion to that of which
Mr. Cooke complained.
Four tunes were cpntracted for to he played upon
the bells ; at present, however, the monotonous chime
brings into action every three hours the six smallest
bells, out of a set of fifteen. We have plenty of tes-
timony from high authorities as to the merits of the
bells, and when justice is done to them, and they are
properly treated after the suggestion of Mr. Cooke,
we will guarantee such a set as will give general
satisfaction. We are merely doing our duty to
the public and ourselves in explaining the matter, and
if no better arrangement is made, and no other tunes
are played, we must absolve ourselves from any
I blame.
We have spared no pains, and will spare none, to
render the chimes excellent in every particular.
We can refer to the numerous peals and sets of
bells we have made, and are constantly making, as to
our capabilities, and it is somewhat singular that,
with a reputation of a century and daily increasing
experience and practice, we should incur so much
obloquy in a solitary instance.
We are, Sir, your respectful servants,
CHARLES and GEORGE MEARS.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE YACHT 4AUD.—The

beautiful schooner yacht Maud, Leigh, Esq., of the
Royal Yacht Club, from Cherbourg, in funning for our
roads on Friday evening, about five o'clock, struck on the
Musee rock, one of the Lower Heads, where she bung
nearly a quarter of an hour. Captain Sadler, of the SID
Francis Drake, ran close to her, and offered to render
any assistance, which, however, was declined. It was
discovered soon after the Sir Francis Drake had left her

that she was filling fast; the wind, however, being fair,
she fortunately got into the harbour about seven o'clock.
They were then compelled to en ;age. a number of hands
_to bale out the water to keep her trom sinking, the

water being above the cabin deck. On the tide leaving
her it was discovered that her fore-foot was split, the
deadwood and garboard streaks started about twelve
feet, and her false keel a little rubbed. The whole of the
repairs were finished in a workmanlike manner. We
were happy to hear the owner, Squire Leigh, tell the
captain of her, that he did not blame him in the least
for the accident occurring. We strongly advise our
hal baur master, Captain Collis, to have these sunken
dangers buoyed on, which wou!d evidently be of service
to our pilots as well as other nautical men, as the glare
of the setting sun sometimes makes it difficult to see the
leading marks; at the same time we strongly recommend
our yachting gentry never to attempt our roadstead
without a pilot.—Guernsey Sun,Sept. 20.
For extinguishing Fires, the apparatus should be
readily distinguishable night and day, and always ready
for use without any appliances which may be inislaid or
forgotten at the very instant they are needed. With
this view, Mr. Newlands says—" I propose that several

lamp-posts in each street should he made receptacles for
the water apparatus, the pedestal being made of a size
sufficient to contain it. In each I unp-pedestal I propose
that an upright hydrant be fixed, with a coil of hose,
sufficient for washing the streets, or filling the watering
carts, constantly attached. The cock box I would fix
in the footway, always on the same side of the lam-v-

pasts, and at a constant distance from them. In the
event of a fire, the firemen's hose would be instantly at-
tached to the hose of the standpipe by a coupling screw.
The pedestals for the water apparatus being square, and
those for the common lamps being round, would point
out at once the place of the water apparatus; and, if
necessary, the panes of such lamps might be of coloured
glass, as a still greater distinctive mark by night. Every
superintendent of scavengers and every fireman would
be provided with a key to the door of the pedestal, and
in the pedestal the key of the cock would constantly re-
main; thus there would be no delay in using the water
for any purpose. In places where lamp-posts are not
required, the pedestals merely might be used, and these
might be used as guard posts at the entrance to narrow
streets?' The lamp irons thus made prominent, might,
he thinks, be rendered still more useful by a label at-
tached to their tops. On these would be cast the rtames
of the streets (as at Edinburgh, we may add), and on
the centre panel the distance iu miles and furlongs from
the Exchange. Coach and car fares might be thus regu-
lated.—Builder,
