TILE INTERNATIONAL WRESTLING.

A rnost exciting scene was afforded last Tues-
day in the Agr;cultural Hall by the unlooked-for
result of a wrestling bout, in th • French fashion,
between Wright and Dubois. After the usual pre-
liminary exhibition of well-matched strength and
skill, for the purpose of illustrating the two
very dissimilar modes of national wrestling,
the chief English and French professors
of a really " manly art" encountered one
another. First, Jamieson, the champion of
the Westmoreland and Cumberland school,
was matched with Le Bceuf, the grey-
haired Frenchmen, whose strength is gigantic, and
whose weight exceeds that of his opponent. Their
first bout being in the English fashion, no great
surprise ensued in the overthrow of Le Bceuf, whom
Jamieson conquered with singular ease. Dubois
and Wright thou wrestled, also in the Cumber-
land style, and Wright was the victor,
though his triumph was not so facile. Le
Bceuf and Jamieson next tried a French
fall, and the victory was, as everybody ex-
pected it would be, reversed. It is fair to a
numerous body of the English public to say that
the applause which now greeted Le Bceuf was to the
full as hearty as any that had previously been
bestowed on Wright and Jamieson. On Dubois
meeting the first-named of these two men, in • a
French match, a long and severe grApple took place.
The Gaul, whose ungainly figure turns the enor-
mous weight of nineteen stone, has a peculiar
method of using this inert advantage by bearing
down upon his opponent ; but, despite such formid-
able tactics, the Englishman had once managed,
when wrestling Cumberland fashion, to throw
the huge form over his head. Wright had now to
exert himself to the utmost, in order to keep his own
feet, and the contest was far too evidently arduous
for any looker-on to doubt for a moment its very
serious good faith. After a while, Wright threw
the Frenchman on his back, but could not succeed
in bringing both the shoulder blades at once to the
ground. The attempt was so credi table, however, that
cheers broke forth from all parts of the hall. Soon
afterwards Dubois was again thrown, and this time
Wright, by dint of "sticking to him," and amid
shouts of encouragement, completed the victory.
It would be impossible to exaggerate in describing
the enthusiasm of the people who witnessed the
Englishman's hard-won triumph. He himself looked
astonished, and made no concealment of his intense
glee. But Jamieson, who led the conquered French-
man forward, sccmed by his actions to protest
against the excessive demonstrations of delight at
the signal victory of the English colours.

Mr. Fowler's plan of cominunica; ion with France
provides for the railway gauge being the same on both
sides of the Channel, so that the train may b. trans-
ferred without difficulty from one line of rails to the
other.

LADVERTISEMENT.j—IIenceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalents. Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Itome, July `21,1866. The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Do Barry's Revalento
Arabica Food, of which ne consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent fuod too highly." We
