BOXERS.

The match between Josh Hudson and Barlow, takes place to-
morrow, within forty miles of the metropolis. A smashing fight
is expected—the countryman (Barlow) rather the favourite.
Cyrus Davis, in reply to the challenge of John Cooper, says—
" I would wish for Cooper to state where I might meet him to
make a deposit, as my money is ready, to fight him the same
day that Mat tin and Randall fight, or that of Spring and Neate,
for 100 sovereigns, and not less."
COURSING EXTRAORDINARY.

Tuesday,.as a Gentleman, residing in Nelson-square, Black-
friars-road, was travelling over Putney Heath with two grey-
hounds, for the purpose of having a few days coursing with a
friend near Kingston, a hare by chance crossed the road, which
the dogs instantly pursued, and were soon nut of sight. The
Gentleman, after a considerable length of time, not having been
able to learn in what direction they had gone, was told by two
abouring men he met, that they had seen the hare and her pur-
suers at the distance of nearly two miles off, whither the Gen-
tleman immediately hastened. On his arrival there, he observed.
about two hundred yards further, some boys who had just come
up to the dogs and hare, all of which they found lying dead
within a few yards of each other. It did not appear that the hare
had been caught, as there were no marks of violence about her.

Tuesday, seven hair-dressers were fined ss. each at
the Glasgow Police Court, for shaving on Sunday.
PUNISHING AN ALDERMAN!—The following is an
extract from the ancient City Records of London:

4' nem°Las Wnyroan, or Wir.roari, an Alderman, having
neglected to line his cloak which he used in the procession, it is
adjudged by the Court that the Loan MAYOa and all the Alder-
men shall Intl:Vast with hire! This penalty is awarded on him
as a punishment for his stinginess."
A VAGRANT MONKEY.—.-NIARMADUKE LAWSOW,
Esq. an acting Magistrate for the County of York,
being examined before a Committee of the House of
Commons on the vagrant laws, was asked if he had
ever known an instance of anything except a vagrant
having been included in a pass? He replied in the
affirmative, and related the following cnmstance :
4' A man who had a monkey, which was the means of his sub-
sistence, in going up and down the country, was taken up for
begging: he had a regular pass made out for Scotland, with the
usual allowance of Bd. per day. The man said that he could not •
maintain himself and his monkey on that sum, and the conse-
quence must be that he must dispose of him. The Clerk having
been much amused and pleased with the tricks and grimaces of
the monkey, said, we will pass him too.' Accordingly a blank
pass was filled up for the monkey under the name of ' John
Strange,' also with the allowance of Bd. a day, and by which
he was pissed out of the North Riding into Scotland."
CHEAP LIVING.—In Aberystwith, :a few days ago,
three fine fowls were bought for fifteen pence!

COSH EXCHANGE, MARE-LANE, &PITHIER 9.—The supply of
new Wheat being again small this morning, and that only from
Essex and Kent, which does not come to hand in such perfect
condition as we have had it heretofore, caused a ready sale for
fine dry samples, at an advance of 2s. per quarter on laic Mon-
day's prices; and all other descriptions fully maintain that day's
currency, although the demand was very slack for the inferior
sorts* last year's growth. New Barley is full 2s. per quarter
higher, the supply continuing very short, hut there is no amend-
ment in the prices of old Barley. Grey Peas are in request, at
an advance of 25. per quarter. In Beans, White Peas, and
Oats, there is no alteration.—Current prices :
