HOILES AND MADDEN, FOR 501.— AARON JONES
AND ROBERT WADE, FOR 251. ASIDE.—Two fistic
cartels were yesterday brought to the combat a rout
ranee, or naked knuckle, near Eden•bridge, in Kent,
whither nearly 600 excursionists betook themselves, per
" special" on the South-Eastern, to wituess the "passage
of arms." The " figure" at which business was done
was a sovereign for stuffed seats, and a moiety thereof
on boarded settees, a tariff which must have consider-
ably increased the revenue of the contractors. At a few
minutes past twelve the voyagers were disembarked at a
convenient and retired spot, short of the village and sta-
tion, where, by a rustic stair, the slope of a cutting was
mounted, and a few hundred yards along the shady
covert of a lane, overarched by tall timber, led the way-
passers to a " more retired ground," and here the veteran
commissary of the P.R. quickly arranged the lists. The
obtainment of a referee by mutual consent was not, how-
ever, so easy a matter, and hence upwards of an hour was
cut to waste in captious, hairsplitting, obstinate, and
disreputable disputation. At length the weighty ab-
surdity was settled, and the " little ones" stood
up. Bolles, whose weight is about 7st. 41b., is known
among his intimates by the by-name of the "Spider,"
from his lathy proportions, comparatively long upper
limbs, and his extraordinary activity with his "feelers."
This was his second appearance, he having defeated in
artistic style young Jemmy Herbert. James Madden
is a tough, little, herculean miniature—game, hardened,
determined, beautifully put together as a small " model
man." The fight was active, resolute, and on the side of
Hoiles eminently scientific. Madden as the shorter
man, and certainly the slower hitter, fought in the most
manly and straightforward style, yet, from the fourth
round it was pretty clear that he could neither counter-
hit with the Spider nor got at him effectively. Hence,
at the end of 56 rounds, occupying one hour and a half,
Heiles was proclaimed the victor amid great accla-
mations.
JONES AND WADE.—The competitors in this affair
were Aaron Jones (who some time since was defeated
by Orme) and Robert Wade, a well-seasoned joiner of
the nuptial ties. A heavy mill, in which much more
courage than skill was displayed. What was the result?
At the close of one hour, in which 43 rounds were
fought, Wade's friends were compelled to exhibit the
signal of defeat, and Jones was saluted as conqueror.

PEDESTRIANISM. SAMUEL DRIVER AND W.
RICHARDS.—This race, of 150 yards for 101., came off yester-
day, at the new ground, Copenhagen-house, and, notwith-
standing the bad state of the weather, attracted a large
number of spectators. The betting was not very brisk, and
cpened at even, but left off at 6t04 on Driver. The men
got off at the first attempt, and ran well together, neither
baying any decided advantage till 00 yards had been paced
ever, when Driver put on the "steam," and ran in a winner
by 2 yards.—Pocock and Badger also ran the same distance
for Si. The race was a one-sided affair, Badger winning as,
he pleased. Betting 2tol on Badger.
MANCRESTER TRADE REPORT, SEPT. 24.—The
intelligence brought by the America, of a further advance in
the raw material, has tended to harden the prices in our
market to-day, and cops and warps may be quoted at 0.
above the rates of this day week, for medium qualities.
Fine yarns are still in demand, and prices have an upward
tendency, except for light printers and 36-in. skirtings.
The goods market is very slack. The home trade is little
or nothing.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—The Royal mail steam-
ship Africa, Captain Eyrie commander, which arrived in the
Mersey on Sunday morning, from the Clyde, after a swift
run of fifteen hours, to take her station on the Cunard mail
line, was to-day surveyed by the Admiralty officer under
steam. She is a spleneid ship, equalled by few, if any,
afloat. her model, size, power, Szo., arc similar to the Asia's.
