GREAT MATCH.

The match between Lieutenant Farmer and Mr. Bennett,•nf
Wade's Mill, took place on Saturday morning, at right o'clock,
over a six mile piece of ground, between Clidfont and the Hermi-
tage, Herts. It was to make the best of the way, eighteen tulles,
fur a stake of 200 sovereigns. The parties run well together ter
the first ,six miles, which was done in 40 minutes, when Mr. Ben-
nett made play, and kept his adversary in full exercise. The second
six
.miles were performed in 59 minutes by Mr. Bennett, who was
50 yards a-head; but he began to fall off in his speed in the sixteenth
mile, when his adversary passed him In condition to win. The
Lieutenant had to make his play for a bye bet of 50 sovereigns,
which he laid, that he would accomplish the ground in one hour aid
bfty.four minutes, and he left his adversary, who resigned in the
seventeenth mile, and lost his second match by three minutes, muds
exhausted. The Lieutenant felt confident he could have won both
Imatches if he had made his ground good at going off.'

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-I.ANR, Fxammai S.
We had a large arrival of Wheat and Barley fresh into this day's
market from Essex, Kent, and Sufolk, for the former of which
there did not appear much demand, owing to the quality being ra-
ther inferior. Superfine samples obtained last Monday's prices ;
but for other qualities there has been no demand. Fine making
Barley is Is. per quarter dearer, and free sale at that improvement.
Beaus and Peas are front I s. to Ss. per quarter higher, ow ing to the
probability of the Forts being closed on the 15th inst. against the
admission of those' article.. Oats are very dull sale, and nearly no-
minal in price, the iupply, which is chiefly from France, being very
large; but the price of last Monday has been paid by such necessi-
tous buyers as have been compelled to purchase. In other ankles
there is no variation.
