TROTTING iIiATCH.MI. WHEALE, of Poplar. un-
dertook, a few days since, for a wager of ten guineas,
that his son, only seven years of age, should trot his
pony five miles in half an hour. Yesterday morning
was the time fixed upon, and the juvenile sportsman,
with great skill, went the ground in 28 minutes on
the Barking mad, consequently winning the wager.
PUGILISM EXTRAORLUNART.—Tuesday afternoon a
dreadful battle was fought on Kennington Common,
opposite the Horns, between two amazons of the
names of Sarah Armstrong, wife to a coal-heaver,
and Molly Cox, beuer known by the name of Thump-
ing Mary, wife to a bargeman from Wandsworth, for
a wager of two guineas. These brave amazons were
seconded by their husbands. A very great concourse
of spectators were assembleJ to witness this exhibition.
The ring being formed, they set-to with much spirit,
and fought fifteen rounds with the greatest fury ;
many dreadful blows were given and received on
both sides. On the sixteenth round Molly was so
completely beaten, that she was reluctantly obliged
to give in, and all the parties retired to the Horns,
where they spent the evening as happy as beer, gin,
and tobacco, could make them.
AozsrMltar. —CAUTION TO Fanstens.—lthas long

been a mistaken, though almost-universally-enter.
tained opinion, in the grazing district of Yorkshire,
that cattle taken in by way of agistment were not
subject -tn be distrained upon for rent, any farther
than for what is called their tooth, or keeping. How-
ever hard it may appear that the property of a third
and disinterested person should be sold to pay the
rent of a tenant, the law adjudges, that distress for
rent sofy be taken of all goods and chattels found on
the premises; and on Thursday, the 9th instant, a
considerable quantity of cattle, sent for agistment,'
were sold under distress,. by auction, in the neigh-
' bonrhood of Skipton, and by the authority of the Ma-
gistrates.
SINGULAR INCIDENT.—One of the most extraordi-
nary instances of good fortune that perhaps ever oc-
curred to any humeri being. has fallen to the lot of a
young gentleman, now about eighteen years of age,
the sow of a respectable farmer in the vicinity of New-
market.—ln travelling, more than eighteen months
since, from his father's house, in the county of Cam-
bridge. towards Shrewsbury, he accidentally met
with an eiderly gentleman in the stage coach, to
whom he was entirely unknown, but who was so
•uch pleased with his company,. that before they
parted at Shrewsbury (where the gentleman residid).
kir told the youth that he had long been looking for
person to whom he might leave his fortune, and that
be was the object of his election. The gentleman
then gave bim a general invitation to his house, where
,fie was always treated with the greatest respect, and
introduced to the best society of the place for more
than a year, and had a horse and servant kept fur
him whilst be remained at school, which he continued
',ado till very recently. The gentleman being takes
extremely ill within these icy weeks, sent for the
youth, and repeated his former intimation of giving
him all his property. Accordingly he caused a free
sift of his immense wealth to belegally made out,
oaly stipulating, that in case he survived, the youth
should handsomely provide for film during the con-
litivance of his life. He, however, died a short time
after he had signed;the deed, in which it has been
sfi:covered that he possessed more than AMMO
sterling 1 What is very remarkable, the youth, as
we are ink!, never communicated any of the circum-
stances to his family, until after the decease of the
gentleman (who is said to have Bien a West Indian)
fearing, probably, to raise expectations that might
-never be realized. Since the event, however, we
have great pleasure in relating, that thl.: youth's filial
and fraternal affection has been most honourably
evinced, by •his baying voluntarily given 0350,0v0
