WRESTL t No.--An interesting lb each has been played
Is itween the Connell and Devonshire men in London, which was
s' Jecided en Thursday, at the Eagle Tavern, City-road. The Det
vonshire men have won the first prim by bringing up Abraham
Cams, ti len. Champion, the Cornish men the second, third, and
• fourth p rises, and have made a good struggle against Cann. The
. wrestler s on the Cornish side were the least numerous, and only
the mechanics living in London—none of then, the crack wind-
ier. in :their county; the result is therefore highly honourable to
them; but for the bringing up of Cann, the very best ma uto be
.I
found in i Devonshire, they must have won the three first prises.
Warren, the Cornishman, who contended with Cann for the first
prize, is a miner, and was a passenger bound for South Americas
on board! the brig which saved so many of the crew and
gets of the Kent Indiaman, when on fire in the Bay of ritl.

pal a f then) with a lion's grasp, and told him either to go back into
the b oat or into the sea; the sailor finding resistance vain, pre-
ferred', the former, and re-entered the boat with the whale (Wits
crew, by which means upwards of 1110 souls were *eyed. Nor
was th is all; he afterwards placed himself in the main chain., at
the im) ninent peril of his life, and by tbe muscular strength of his
arm, wl 'lan tackle could not be used, lifted children and women,
half dean' -with fear, end incapreger's wife, for which he received
able of any exertioa, into the brig,
one of Which was Major IlliC
the their Its of the family, and a present of 160/. We are sorry to
add, that ;in these violent exploits he received a hurt incidental to
over-stra iced exertions. He is a very prominent featured
man, al )out five feet nine or ten inches high, very powerful
and 40 ) rears of age, and is father of ten children. The Cornish
Commits tee, in token of their approbation of bit conduct, have
made up his prize equal to that won by Cann.
