PUGILISM.

BEN CAIINT AND NAT LANCHAN FOR 200/. A SIDE.—
The supporters of the P.R. are already well aware that
the pass age of arms between these men has been pending
for relong time past. There is no necessity here to record
the antecedents of the men, for both are well known to
every one who has read the history of the ring for the
past 15 to 20 years. A period of nearly a dozen years
has now, with all its eventful- changes, passed away
since Ben Caunt last figured within the ropes and stakes,
the last occasion being when he contended with Bendigo,
of Nottingham, by whom he had the mortification to be
defeated. Since that event Cauut, until the present
match, has been c)tr tent with his position as mine host
of the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane, and it was
imagined that .he would never again appear within the
ropes, and that, more pa.ticulaey, as he had announced
his retirement from the ring. The last time Nat Lang-
ham fought in the a-ena was with the p °sent champion
of England, Tom Sayers, whom he defeated after a game
battle. This took place nearly four years since, and
Langham, like Caunt, wits considered to have•retired,
The difference between the combatants in height, weight
&c., was particularly striking, for Caunt, in addition to
being nearly three stone the heavier, was also much the
taller, standing in stocking-feet 6 feet 21 inches.
The men were both confident ; indeed, Caunt
self thought that, as regarded the battle, it was
all over bar shouting. An • aquatic trip was
agreed upon ; and four boats were engaged in conveying
the partisans of the men to the scene of action, these
being the Princess Royal, City of It )chester, Ben Bolt,
and the William S sane. The debarkation was effected
on Stanley Island, in the River Medway, boat ten
miles from Chatham. The men, however, not getting
into the ring before half-past four o'clock, and owing to
it being so late before hostilities were commenced, the
contest, from the intervention of darkness, was not

advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per

is therefore about 1 10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg
than in London. Tile course of exchange at New YorX
on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109 per
cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between
the two countries, shows that the exchange is against
England ; and, after making allowance for charges of
transport and difference of interest, the present rate
leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way
between the two countries.
