By an ingenious calculation extraeled from SMITH'S
ANTIOSITIRS of WS3TIIINSTEII, we find the turnof .1
1,9491. expended in the reign of Henry the Third, 11
for the Queen's chamber, in the ancient Palace of
Wedminuer, equal to the fum of 97,4821. and a
fraCtion in the prefect age. Now this intereding cal-
culation of the value of money at different periods,
founded on the current value of the neceffaries of
life, may be further examined and compared with
the diaries in the time of Edward the Third, fo co-
piiully given in this Work, containing price of ma-

Tom Bricher, took place on Tuefday at 3fouYiy

The road to the field of stilton Was never before lo
crowded. A roped ring of 28 feet was famed for
the lifted knights to exhibit in, which was carton!).

became fo numerous that the outer ring between the
carriages and the inner ring would not contain them,
and confequently two hours were occupied in. re-
moving the ropes to another fpnt, where an immeufe
ring was formed for the accommodation of the fpec-

. Sans put in the brit blow in Belcher's ribs, which he
~ returned by faluting Sam's head with a right and left
band blow ; when a paufe of tome moments took
-place, they doled, and Sam threw Belcher--even
''betting.
sd Round—Sam threw in a body blow, which Tom returned.
Belcher then attempted to retreat, but, In the attempt. Sam bit out
with his left hand and gave Belcher a revere knock down blow in

then doled, when Sam threw his opponent and fell upon his cheit,
which was fuppofed to do Tom coofiderable injury.
Soh Round—l his was an excellent round: it feemed to be the
determination of both parties to try their ftrength ; firft one had
the advantage, and then the other. At length Sam's ftrength

vailcd ; he was thereby able to drive his opponent back, and rull-
lag upon him threw hint.
6th Round—This round was not inferior to the Taft. Tom feem-
ed determined to gain the advantage he bad boil. He fought,
therefore, with defperation. and not without fuecd's. Tom exhi-
bited renovated ftrength : a flight falling off appeared in Sam ; and
the maul concluded confiderably in favour of Tom.
yth, Bth, and 9th Rounds —were fought with much variation...-.
Tom, at the dote of them, matt* favourite, and had brought the
odds, from s to a againft him. to even betting.
loth. it rib, and tath Rounds--Toni continued to keep the lead,
but no decided fuperiortty was Ihewn. They each put in dexterous
blows, in body and face alternately; but Tem fighting thy, and
Sam having thrown away feveral blows by kitting Ihort, made Tom

the favourite.
13th Round—Sam exhibited great figns of weakaefs this round.
He over-reached himfelf, and turned round with the blow, and
fell on his face without being bit. The odds were now in favour
of Tom.
14th Round—Sam's weaknefs became more apparent, and he
rallied without area. Tom -waited for kiin, and put in (event

27th and ath Rounds—A eedded fuperinrity was 'hewn by
Sam : his ltrength and fpirits recovered every round, in proportion
as t ones weaknds was manifefted.
From the aBth to the 35th Round, inclufive, which
finifhed the contea, there was not the lean variation
Sam kept winning Uraight forward, but hitting Bel-
cher, as it was fuppufed, when one knee had reached
the ground, there was a univerfal cry of foul, foul,
by Belcher's friends; and they perfuaded him to sell
his claim for the wager on the ground of a foul blow.
As it wai evident that Belcher could not have fup-
ported another round, he was the more inclined to
take the advice, and fo the matter ended. It was
admitted, by many of Sam's friends, that the blow
was foul ; but they urged that his aim was fir far
advanced, that he could not withdraw it; and that,
from Belcher's exhaufled mate, there was no necellity
for Sam to take advantage of Inch a blow to win the
battle, as no puffible chance could lofe it him.
Captain Barclay was umpire on the part of Bel-
cher, and did not think it proper to refign his claim,
and the matter was left for future confideration.
Croply, who beat jemmy from 7 own, on Motility
Hui ft, fome time ago, was pitted againft a man of
the name of Hazel. This battle ha•dly defetved the
name or one.
Croply finifhed as he began, by knocking down
his opponent, who was little calculated to refill the
(kill he poffeffed.
Croply is mailer of every requifite to make a finifh-
ed boxer, whillt his opponent had not one quality to
oppole to him, except that of bottom, and certainly
be gave the molt evident proofs of his hardihood.—
The contest tailed so rounds, and not one of them
paffed without Croply caufing frelh areams of blood
to flow, till even the z-wateurr cried out enough,
enough." The obdurate Hazel, however, would
sot yield while he could nand, but was at length
carried off by his friends, a fbocking fpeetacle.
Croply is colifidered by the amateurs, as one of the
heft fighters of the day, and was matched yeflerday
to fight Dutch Sam, on the kit day of the Lewes,
Meeting. As they are nearly of a weight and equally
favourites, much money will be betted on the event.
The next pair that entered the lifts were, Dixon
and Groom, who are well known as juvenile pugi
lifts. The conceit was lion, but revere, and ended
in favottr of Dixon, who is ailed by the amateurs
" the child of promife."
The whole concluded with bull-baiting. Doting
this amujiweat. two men and a boy were tolled by
the bull into the air : they fortunately efcaped with
"hole gas, but not without coufidet able bruifes. It

frequently happens, that themen, to fave their dogs
from the fury of• the irritated bull,, will-.run clofe up
to his head, and it fnmetimes happen, that :when the
animal cannot get at the dog, be toffes the man, as
was the cafe yetlerday. • • •
