TROTTING MATCH.
The trotting-match, for Mr. Pearson'a Alderman to trot '7i
miles in half an hour, took place yesterday morning, on the Staines
road, for 200 sovereigns, was a heat. The horse performed his
first miles in 8 minutely 40 seconds each, but the owner desired
him to be pulled up in the 6th mile, the weather having evidently
affected the performance.

FIGHT BETWEEN REUBEN MARTEN AND JANUARY,
FOR FIFTY POUNDS A SIDE.
This fight took place yesterday at Blindlow-heath, Sussex, 26
miles from London. The distance combined with the oppressive
heat of the day, prevented many of the swell patrons of the ring
from being present ; but still there was a tolerable muster of the
friends of the combatants. The merits of Marten, as a scienti-
fic boxer, are well known ; while those of January, whose ex-
perience has been principally derived from casual turns up in
the brick-fields, did not create so much confidence. The men
were both in good condition,' and entered the ring at one
o'clock. Marten, attended by Harry Holt and O'Neal ; and
January, by Dick Curtis and Young Dutch Sam. Betting 6to
4 on Marten.

THE FIGHT.
Round 1. January lost no time in getting to work, and hit
right and left at his man ; Reuben, however, was on the alert,
and got away. January tried the same game a second time,
when Marten, standing firm on his pins, met hint full in the
muzzle with his left. January stopped two well-intentioned fa-
vour., and rushed to a close, when Marten punished him severely
right and left. They mutually broke away, when Marten wait-
ing for a fair opening, again delivered a flush hit on January's
nozzle, and followed this up by. several severe facers right and
left, finally dropping hint by a severe. nobber. Three to one on
Marten.
2. January attempted to put in a severe blow with his right;
but Marten was "at home," and met him as he came in with a
tremendous stopper on the nuicrachcra. This admirable tact was
pursued several times dining this round, and as January mina
in, he was invariably met in the phiz. A close, and. January
thrown, Marten falling heavily upon him. Four to one on Mar-
ten, and the brick-makers in a ferment.
3. This round partook of the same character with the last;
Marten met his opponent on his rushing to punish, and cut him
severely both right and left, and at length sent him down covered
with claret.
4. January became desperate, hot it would not do, hi was
opposed to superior science. Marten retreated, drawing his man
after him, and severely punishing him for hi* temerity in coming
too close. January's face presented obvious marks of the sharp-
ness of Marten's knuckles. In making a body blow, Marten
slipped and fell, amidst the shouts of January's friends; but it
was the last cheering hope.
sth and last, Marten now made himself up for mischief, and
judiciously waiting his opening, he let fly right and left, and re-
peated the saute sort of handy work till January went down,
perfectly satisfied with what he had got ; and on being forced up
and placed on his second's knee he said he had " enough," and
flatly refused again to face his man, who was of course pronounced
the victor, amidst various grumblings and growlings, in which the
word "cross" was very flippantly bandied about from mouth to
mouth. It was pretty dear, however, that January had not the
" shadow of a shade" of a chance, and whatever might have been
the grounds on which his backers rested their hopes of winning, in
respect of fighting he was decidedly over-matched.
There was a good deal of mono' depending, and the question
" Cross or no cross?" will be decided this day at the Tennis-
Court, at Alic Reed's benefit, where the stakes are to be given up.
Marten hid not a mark, and acknowledged only to having re-
ceived two blows, while January was a good deal cut ; but his
punishment was not so severe as was imagined. Ile left off fresh.
and perfectly able, if willing, to have continued the mill.
There was a second fight, between Tom the Tinman and Bill
the Pitman, for a purse. Ten well-contested rounds were fought,
when 'Tarn completely " tinkered" his antagonists " upper crust,"
and left him in much worse condition than his friend the brick-
maker. . .

SAILING MATCH.
Yesterday the first sailing match for the season, (for the silver
cup, given by the Thames Yacht Club), took place below bridge.
The conditions of the match were, to start from Blackwell,
rail
round a boat off Gravesend, and return to the former place ; the
first boat in to have the prise. The following boats were placed
for the match
Sylph - Mr. E. Codd Stenger 14. Tone.
Venus - Mr. G. Keen Horabolown 13
Will.o'-the•Wisp Mr. NV. H. Harrison Chelsea If;
Don Giovanni Mr. 1. M. Davey Ditto - 11
Shortly after nine o'clock, the signal gun was fired, and the
boats started. The Sylph took the lead ; she was followed by the
Venus, the Will-o'-this-Wisp was third, and the Giovanni fourth.
The boats made but slow progress, as the tide was running up,
and there was scarcely any wind. They were, therefore, obliged
to he continually on the tack,
With winning postures now the wanton sails
" Spited all their Imam to charm tb' inconstant gales."
The Sylph kept a-head during the match. The
Wisp soon passed the Venus, which was for soma time obliged to
sustain a close contest for precedence with the Giovanni. She,
however, succeeded in maintaining° the advantage which she bad
obtained at the start.. The Sylph passed round the distance boat
01f Gravesend about two o'clock, the Will4-the-Wisp performed
the same task 20 minutes later, and the Venus was nine minutes
behind her. The Giovanni was so far behind, that her com-
mander gave up the contest, and turned back without proceeding
to Gravesend. The tide having now turned, and the wind con-
siderably freshened, the vessels ran up the river at a rapid rate,
with every inch of canvas filled.
The bellying sail
" Spread a broad concave to the sweeping gale."
The Will-G-the-Wisp gained considerably upon the Sylph, hut

[THE TIME.S:j

There never occurred a general election in which
soldiers were so .frequently introduced as during. the
present. Such is the Mischief of having a large stand-
ing army.. If there he soldiers, occasion for using
them will always either be foUnd or created ; and let
any man seriously consider how much the ,eharacter of
the, .people will be Changed by the application of
military force,to. the,preservittion,of the peace at such
a time. The bayonet, stabs,—the constable's staff,
when used with the utmost knee, and in the extremest
cases, only knocks do*n. There' is the same differ-
enee between the bayonet and the constable's staff that
there is between the
,fist and the dagger or stiletto.
—The fist is an Englishman's weapon, the dagger
that of a foreigner. In like manner the constable's
staff sufficed in, the better times of the •Constitu-
tion as. the weapon. of the English Government,—
the bayonet-Or musket was' alivays that
,of foreign
tyrants. Bttt 'we are altering. Notwithstanding the
deep channel continues to separate us from the Con-
tinent, and there is therefore no occasion to fear a
sudtleri attack front .our neighbours, a large military
force is kept on foot, 'and this force must be em-
ployed in keeping the pell6l among unarmed subjects
of the realm, by stabs of the bayonet, by sabre-cuts, or
discharges, of musketry, The thought is horrible.
thin is notall : the greatest assemblage of civil
force which the constitution knew, was the posse
comitaitts of' a county .- The High Sheriff was the
conservator of the peace of -the cannay : and for, the
preservation of that peace he had the power of making,
all the stout yeomen special constables. We can con-
ceive a case in a petty borough, in which a temporary
ebullition of feelink,t,. ITIlFlit pervade a. whole population
of Mere mcdlanicals in equal •penttry,, and so ex-,
ruse the application for a body of, red coats acciden-
tally stationed near but that, it should be found neces.
silty topreserve the peace of a county in so unconstitu-
tional a method, is incredible. Counties are the grand
diyißimni into -which England was severed at the Con-
quest. ; and the act of preserving the peace of one, and
that not the least, of thoxe grand divisions by ari army,
or: even by a brigade, may really be termed a civil
war. And yet :certain Magistrates of the county of
Westmoreland have signed. a requisition, that a mili-
tary force should approath to Appleby, ,during the
time that,the election of Members to serve that county
