BORING.

This morning a most desperate and determined battle took place
in the fields Ireyond White Conduit House, for a purse of ten sove-
reigns, between Joe Ward, well known at Sparring-dubs, and
Harry Hughes, who has fought several very manly battles. The
morning was extremely wet, but even this did not deter a very
large number of persons from assembling to witness the contest.
The battle lasted forty-seven minutes, in which twenty-five rounds
were fought. in the sixth round, Ward's features were completely
altered ; Hughes's nose was severed. and his *eft eye closed. The
subsequent rounds were contested with reciprocal advantage, until
the twenty-third, when Hughes seemed to have recovered his
strength in some degree, and he let fly right and left, which told
with tremendous effect on the heed and chest of Ward. The
twenty-fourth round was somewhat in favour of Ward ; but in the
last round Hughes doubled him up, and wen the battle. On the
whole, a more determined battle was never fought. Both men
were so severely punished. that they could net walk home without
assistance.
GREAT PERFORMANCE

A match for 100 sovereigns was made at the close of Bahasa
Races, on Friday evening, by a Gentleman of the name et Sey-
mour, for his Groom, Hamilton, to go on foot from the Course
to London-bridge, four miles on the London side of Reading, and
return, a distance of 34 miles, in three .tours and fifty minutes.
The Pelestrian started at day-break, and performed the first nine
miles near Bracknell, within an hour, and half the distance, to
Loddon-bridge, in four minutes within the given time, fresh. He
performed each mile back within his time, halted five minutes at
Sunni's; Hill, and won easy, with four minutes to spare.

CORN EXCHANGE.. MARK-LANE, AUGUST 29.

Our arrivals of nearly all kinds of Grain last week are moderate,
and this morning there is a tolerable fair supply of Wheat fresh in
from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, chiefly of the present year's growth,
which, for the most part, is damp in quality. The fresh supplies of
Barley, Beans, Peas, and Oats, are small. New Wheat has declined
from 2s. to 4s per qi. from the terms of this day se'nnight ; but old
Wheat fully maintains last quotations. New Barley is firm sale at
465. to 525. per qr. but old samp!es are unaltered. Beans and Peas
folly maintain the terms last quoted; and Oats meet buyers very
slowly at a decline of is. per qr. In the Flour trade there Is no
alteration.
