THE FIGHT.

At six minutes to three the men shook bands, and the seconds
retired to their corners. &odious first made play with his left,
but was well stopped—Jones then caught him in the body with
his left, and after some pretty sparring Stockman delivered his ri,ht
on Jones's cheek. Jones then rushed to in-fighting, and in the close.
after some slight bead-work, Stockman fell over the ropes, ezhi.
biting when be rose the first tinge of blood on the forehead. In
this round it was obsttved that Jones was the stronger man, and, in
fact, he so proved himself throughout the fight. Independent of
this, his style of stopping was so admirable that Stockman with all
his ingenuity, feints, and quirks, was scarcely able to plant an effec.
rive blow, although he succeeded in popping in a few muzzlers.—
The most effective blow given by Jones in the fight was in the 14th
round, when he cut Stockman severely on the kft cheek under the
eye, from a left.handed job. He also took a small portion of the
bark off the bridge of his nose. In the fifteenth round it was two
to one on Jones—yet from his ducking his head it was suspected
he did not like to look danger in the face. Stockman saw this failure
and endeavoured to take advantage of it by hitting up, but without
success. A hint to Jones to keep his head up was not thrown away,
but from the eighteenth round Stockman gm weaker and weaker.
He felt his situation, and endeavoured by desperate rushes, to get
within Jones'sguard—it would not do, however; Jones was cool
. .

and steady, stopping him with precision, although not returning
with spirit.
In the inth round, a most singular casualty happened to both ;
each bit out with lull force with his right, but the blows passing
over the shoulders of each, their heads plunging forward at the
same moment, came in contact with such force, as to prostrate
diem in different directions front the concussion—Jones receiving
a deep gash over his left eye. and Stockman a severe cut on the
head, within the hair. This was the hardest hit Janes received
throughout the fight and from thenceforth he had it all his own
way. Stockman tried every manoeuvre his cunning could suggest,
in walking round his man, rushing in and dropping to avoid; but
it would not do—Harry was awake; and in the 424 round, having
become almost caseated, while Jones was still fresh and vigorous,
be was bored by a right.handed job, which knocked his head with
such force against the ground, that he was stupefied. His seconds
seeing there was not a chance for him, gave in. The fight lasted
one hour and six minutes. Stockman was very sick after all was
over, and showed that his constitution was too muck shaken to
admit of his acquiring sufficient strength to stand against the sups•
rior stamina of his antagonist. Jones left the ring as strong as be
entered it, and was borne off in triumph by his friends. His
victory is the more important, as Stockman had beaten Mu three
times before.

There was a second fight, between Pick, the Bristol youth, and
Waterman, an Bases man. which, after nine rounds, occupying 15
minutes, was decided in favour of Waterman, who caught lick an
unlucky blow under the ear, and sent his percepdens to sloep.
Thus ended tbe sports of the day ; and if they continue to be
conducted with equal regularity, we have no doubt many of those
who bare left the Wag with disgust, will be induced again to lend
their countenance to la members.

Notwithstanding the magnitude of our supplies since Monday.
our market was extremely lively this morning foe the sale of all
descriptions of Grain, particularly English and Foreign Wheat.—
The demand was unusually brisk ; line English and Foreign fully
maintained Monday's improvement. Barley also supported our
last quotation. The Oat Trade was full as dear aeon Monday, and
much business done at that day's currency.
