BOXING.
Tile!day last, the match between George Coil Mani, of Canter;
bury, and a man of the name of Stone, who travels the country
with brushes, &c. took place in the marshes near Fordwich. A
great number uf persons from that city and neighbourhood flocked
to witness the combat. About twelve o'clock the men, attended
.by their seconds; ehtered the ring, Couitham appearing first'
shortly after followed by Stone. After exchanging the usual
tokens of defiance, by Outliving up their hats in the ring, the
men shook hands, and the fight cornmer.ced: Betting at the
onset was nearly even; bin rather in favour of Coultham. In
the opinion of some, the superior weight and strength of Cot&
thane gave him the ad vatftege, while others took Stone for choice;
is consequence of his activity and known bottom. The men coin-
mowed in right earnest, and, after a despetat,' and well iought
battle which lasted one hour and fifty-four minutes, victory was
declared in favour of Coultham. The various rounds we:re wed'
contested, particularly on the part of Stone, and were fifty-seven
in number. A severe blow in the" throat in the 53d round de-
cided the fight, from the effects of whiek Stone fell with the
hind part of his neck on the rope's, and although he afterwards
fought tour rounds; never completely recovered ; but he proved
himself decidedly the best fighter, though not equal to Coulthim•
in strength. Both men were much punished. The company, whic4
wis numerous, were highly gratified with their day's diversion!

At a Meeting of the Magistrates of the Cointy of
Suffolk, at• Stowmarket, on Saturday last, the Duke
of GRAFTON in the Chair, it was resolved that the
I Watch and Ward Act, relative to the appointment
of Special Constables, should be acted upon; and
that, in aid of the sufferers by fire, or by any othei
malicious destruction of property, a general subscrip-
tion be entered into, for the.purpose of defraying the
incidental expenses of any prosecution w hich may be
sanctioned by a Committee then named, with a view
of bringing the offenders to justice; A liberal sub-
scription was immediately eine' ed into for the purpose.
Sunday night,* fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Dowx-

up out of his bed, and escaped with his family unhurt ; but the
conflagration spread with such fury, that the dwelling house MIS
entirely consumed, and but little of the furniture could be saved ;
all the fanning buildings were destroyed, except a single shed;
and a sots- and pigs were burnt.
in the afternoon of Thursday, an outbuilding oh the premilkei
of Mr. DAinss, of Mentilealsam, was set on fire, and, we regret
to state, that the devouring element extended Its rivages to two
barns, which were entirely consumed ; a stack of is heat was got
into one of them only the previous day, and considerably aug-
mented this awful conflagration : the dwelling-butte also took
fire, and was desttoyed, except part of the backhouse. To add
to this calamity, a cow, two fat calves; and a nusnber of pigs,
I all the waggons and implements, and a stack of hay, were con-
