WRESTLING.—FousTs DAY—(Txv=m,►r.)

These manly sports were wound up yesterday. After several
trials of skill, Cann and Warren had a final hitch. In about four
minutes, Cann got a crook upon Warren—( Bravo, Cann ! from the
Devonian.; and Well done, Warren ! front the Cornish men.)-....
This was a critical period for botb ; they were pulsed on a balance
for some seconds--one was sure to go. The strength of Cams at
length prevailed, and Warren was thrown, admitting his defeat by
jumping up and shaking hands with his subduer. Cann was then
entitled to the first prise of ten sovereigns; Warren to the second,
of six sovereigns; Glanville to the third, of four sovereigns; and
Moyle to the fourth, of one sovereign.

PED EST RI ANISM.
Wednesday last, a man named Gibson, undertook, for a wager of
SOL to walk from Norwich to Yarmouth in seven hours and a half,
and carry four pounds worth of copper coin, weighing four stones
four lbs. He started from Bishop Bridge at five o'clock in the
morning, and accomplished the first 12 miles in three hours, and ar.
Jived at Yarmouth half an hour within the time.

Another instance of religious fanaticism has recently
occurred at Vivilla, in Italy, where a father has de.
stroyed his three children to obtain for them an earlier
admission into Paradise. There appears to have been
nothing in the conduct of the father to excite a suspicion
of his sanity, and the atrocious act would seem to have
sprung entirely from religious phreAzy.
Every man would if possible be an idler, and in the
hope of being able one day to indulge in this propensity
of our common nature, nearly ail men are desirous of
becoming wealthy; that is, of accumulating the savings
of labour until they can live without any, or with very
little, personal exertion.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Garr. 44.
The Oat trade is very heavy this mornlng,owing to the magnitude
of the supply aincehlonday, (43,280 qrs.) still that day's prices are
demanded; but what is not a link remarkable is, that when the
Ports opened for this article, we were told that there was no Oats
on tbo COOtinellt, and that we must have ihem of the present harvest;
n0w,100,000 qts. have arrived since that period, the whole of whicEl
are old Oats. Wheat and Barley, although dull sale, support Mon-
day's lirotation. In Beans sod Peas there is no alteration.

THE ST, LEGER DAY.

The Doncaster Meeting, taking it altogether, h un-
questionably the finest specimen of this exclusively
English amusement, which the whole country presents,
The genuine sportsman, whose undivided interest is
centered in the noble exertions of one of the noblest
animals in the creation, may indeed turn to Newmarket
as the classic ground of true racing ; and Epsom Downs
May boast the attendance of large numbers of tbe No-
bility and Aristocracy of the nation, assembled in their
neighbourhood by the attractions of its metropolis. But
at Doncaster these charms are combined in an unpa-
ralleled degree. The sportsman is gratified by an ex-
hibition of the powers of the horse and the skill of his
rider, which nothing but Newmarket itself can rival ;
while the admirer of that grandest of all human specta-
cles, the congregated pride and flower of a great people,
will and the utmost stretch of his imagination unequal
to the scene which the Doncaster Course presents on
the day of the Sre Leger race. Our Nobility and the
wealthy- Commoners, who vie with them in style, go to
Epsom with their establishments pared down to a town
estimate, or' perhaps mutilated by the wear and tear of
'an advanced season.. At Doncaster the Northern Noble
is in the home of his fathers, amongst a people who gain
an hereditary know ledge of the grandeur which has
ever been as a part of his rank, and he appears before
them in the full splendour of pomp and magnificence.
In a district where landed riches predominate, and,
where the pride.of ancestry and of ancient possessions
bitlds powerful sway, this ostentatious grandeur of the
Noble is naturally imitated through almost every grade
of society. For the display of such a spectacle, no
theatre could be better fitted than the race course at
Doncaster, and the beautiful stand which has been
erected upon it.

The 'sleeting of this year, like every thing else in the
casting unfortunate depression of the times, is compa-
ratively a very dull one. The last was, perhaps, the
most brilliant in the memory of the oldest inhabitant;
and its effect now is to increase the gloom and disap-
pointment created by the present defective attendance.
Thefact is, that the people are touched very sensibly in
that very sensitive point—the pocket. Every where
" Lodgings to Let," stares you in the face, and the Me-
thodists (those, we suppose, who have been unable to
let their lodgings), have stuck up is Scraps of Scrip-
ture," warning the passer-by that he takes pleasure at
his peril. The change of the Sr. Leger Race from
Monday to Tuesday, caused the Monday's attendance
to be extremely thin. To-day not even the 4r pitiless
pelting" of a twelve hours rain could deter the assem-
bling of such a Concourse of equipages and people of
every class, as, any where else but at Doncaster, would
have been considered surprisingly numerous and bril-
liant. The rain pouted *ithout ceasing until within a
few minutes of the time appointed for the, start of the
Great St. Leger, when the weather cleared, and the
most auspicious afternoon which could have been de-
sired, set in. As usual, the St. Leger horses met in the
Field before saddling, and were inspected with anxiety.
Belzoni was unanimously ptonounced a fine horse and
sure to win. He, indeed, appeared to be in admirable
condition, and worthy the confidence so generally re-
posed in him. Bedlamite also looked well ; and so
great was the certainty about one of the two winning,
that scarcely any thing else was looked at. Few had
any idea that in Tarrare they were likely to catch so
complete a Tartar. The start came, and anxiety was
stretched to the utmost point. The horses went off, but
so irregularly that they were recalled. Those which
had failed in getting r ff, were the inferior horses, anJ
the rest wet e soon pulled up. At the next signal the
%hole twenty-seven uent off, as if moved by one single
impetus. Belzoni had t';e best place, taking the lead
and keeping thy inside, with Bedlamite, Tarrate,
Mulatto, Conjuror, and the great mass of the horses
closely laid at him. It was soon evident that he had
not foot to get away, and before the turning he was
headed by the winner, and gradually ivent back during
the remakider of the race. There appeared to be no
struggling to win, although k is sail that Tarrare had
nothing left in him to spare. Bedlamite ran honestly, and
kept his place as second to within rather less than half a
distance of home. Mulatto then made severe play and
passed him, and immediately commenced a desperate
attempt to win. While this was going on, Tarrare had
steadily kept his place about a length a-head, and won
without much apparent effort. He was certainly pushed,
but not punished or distressed.
Lord Scarborough was warmly congratulated, and his Lordship's
success gave universal satisfaction.
The losses of the betting men must be immense, and the sums
uansed as being on the wrong side of the books of some young
Noblemen would exceed belief.

M. Dorm, the celebrated Member of the French
Inst•tute, is engaged in laying out the plans of a Canal,
to enable merchant vessels, of a moderate bulk, to cross
from the Seine, below Rouen, in Normandy, to Paris.
The ground is already traced.
MILLIMHAM, Sir?. 19.-The land in this parish
would employ three times the population if it were well
cultivated. The vicarial tithes amount to more than
1,0001. per annum, and the landowners are mostly
absentees. The poor in this, as well as in other parishes,
pay an enormous price for small pieces of land, when
they can obtain them for gardens. The poor are taught,
pretty racially to read the Scriptures ; but a taste for
other kinds of knowledge is not cultivated,
nor thought
proper for the labout ing classes.
