Iteramtes.—Sampson (not yet twenty-one years old) has not
tome to his strength. He out-fought his adversary, but wanted
power to help him through. Gyblett is a real glutton, and the

together. If he is slow, he is a man who will bring an oppo-
nent of equal weight to his level, and the welcome word enough
is not easily to be extracted from him. The battle lasted one
hour and nine minutes.

JOHNSON AND TIIE CHAMPION OF SUFFOLK.
The second fight, between .Tohnson, the man of colour, and
Garrol, the Suffolk Champion, for ten pounds a-aide, out-herodal
Herod 1 The Black was under the care of Paddington Jones
and Joshua Hudson; and Garrol was bundled by Harry Har-
mer and Tom Shelton. The long arms of Johnson were terri-
fic ; and in the course of the first two rounds, hit down Garrol
in such a decisive manner, that ten guineas to one were offered,
and also a guinea to a shilling, but no takers. The Suffolk
Champion had horn in company all the morning with Mr. Lush-
Siren ; but a few hits on his nob from the Black removed this
troublesome customer from his u,per works ; and he in turn be.'
came the assailant. Johnson displayed not only good' humour,
but game of the highest quality throughout the fight ; and Gar-
rol astonished the amateurs with the high courage he displayed.
The Black showed nothing like lighting, after a quarter of an
hour hid elapsed ; and Garrol, when he became sober, punished
the Black in every direction, and threw Massa dreadfully every
round. When no rounds had elapsed,the umpires, and manyof the
are.teuts, recommended that a dray should take place; but the
ta•eness of both the men spurned the offer, who declared they
ould fight out the battle, and only wished the best man should
have the money. After eighty-six rounds had-elapsed, occupy 7
log one hour and forty-three minutes, the Black-resigned the
contest. Massa was terribly punished; and the high courage
displayed by Garrol, who was nearly two stone lighter than his
opponent, received the loudest cheers of approbation.
After the fight was over between Sampson and Gylleft, Josh.
Itielson threw ep his hat to fight the latter for £lOO s-side.
There is no doubt but a match will be made between them.
The-battle between the Suffolk Champion and the Black was
pronounced by all present, to have been the most terrific contest
ever witnessed; not excepting the battle between Gulley and
Oregson. Garrol has raised himself m much in the estimation
of the amateurs, that already be can be backed against ahy one
of his weight Toe £lOO a-aide. Seth a prime day's play has not
been witnessed for several years. Larkin was on the ground,
and could have been backed for ASO a-aide against anything
alive; but, as heretofore. the Ken Wer was suffered to quit
the field itia whole skin.
'rho battle was so terrific between Garrol and Johnson, that-
the amateurs were positively tired of it ; and the Black displayed
more real game, gond nature, and true courage, than was ever
seen in a prise fight; he was put to bed completely insensible.
Gyblett viewed the above fight ; and in consequence of Messo't
baying no colour to fight under, be generously lent him his own,
the yeffete nom
A subscription was made for the losing men ; but to conse-
quence of the swells not belog2tesent, it did not tura out so well
as has bees esperienced on former oecasioes.
Beasts and the Pm Boy were matched at Lawrenoe's-fot ASO
a-side, to fight In three weeks.

Friday last, a remarkable occurrence took place at
Broughton Toll, near Edinburgh. A girl, the daugh-
ter of a gardener, was employed in bleaching a quan-
tity of clothes, and while in the act of pinning some
of them to the ground, a sudden whirlwind arose, and
lifted them to a great height in the air. The terrified
girl instantly alarmed the family by frantic cries of
...under," etc. and the attention of many persons'
was directed to • the circumstance, who beheld the
clothes, as they describe it, twirled about in the air
like shavings of wood, and at length carried to the
eastward out of their sight. Some other persons ob-
served them at a great height flying over Leith Valk;
but they have not been heard of farther, except a small
pocket-handkerchief, which was picked up about a
quarter of a toile from the spot. The clothes are al-
to'ether valued at about five pounds.
'The Greenock Paper says, a piece of moss ground
on the opposite side of the Clyde accidentally caught
fire about ten days ago, and, from the long (
ance of dry weather, the flame has spread so eaten-
sively, that it now wears rather an alarming appear-
ance, the efforts to arrest it proved unavailing.
The 4th instant, some inconsiderate persons lighted
a fire near the core-land of Newfield, in Ross-shire,
the property of Mr. Davidson, of Findhorn, with the
intention of scaring crows, which were becoming de-
structive among' the stacks. The fire soon commu-
nicated to part of the cons-yird, and hefore it was
possible to extinguish it, nearly five stacks of wheat
were consumed, estimated at about thirty bolls each.
Shell-fish have been very abundant and excellent
this week. In one morning, 43,000 fine lobsters were
brought to Billingsgate Market, and sold in an hour
or two. This is the largest number known, in one
dap for many years. Last nightfiesh lobsters were
selling in London, four for 'a shilling. Excellent
bacon may now be purchased, by the Bitch or half
Ale, antler sd. per lb. green, and at or under 6d
dried. The loss to the importers and wholesale dealers
will be considgable, at these low prices.
