BOXERS.

Last night, at ten o'clock, the partisans of Enka and Hall,
met at Tom Oliver's house, Peter-street, Westminster, to make
good the whole of the stakes for the combat between these
milling heroes, on Tuesday the 44th instant, in a Lis feet ring,
for too guineas. The money was transferred to the hands of
those who were to deposit it on each side, and consequently
would certainly be made good.
Like the match between Randall and Turner, this will be a
great, spotting one. Hales is decidedly the best sparser of the day,
with weight something under eleven state; but Scroggins beat
him by ruffianing away his science, and substituting hits for par-
ries. Hall has the best of weight rather, and possesses first-rate
science also. He was beat by the Irish champion, Donnelly,
although the fight was brought to i wrangle. Betting-5 to 4on
Hall. On the other tight, 5t04 on Randall, although Turner
has his s.trong fanciers.
Aar-ta•Cii.secu.s. 0cr.12. Cxper, and Gregzen, ex-
hibited their pugilistic performances here onWednesday, Dna,-
day, and this day. At their last performance they were attended
by Prince 3lettenith, Prince Charles of Prussia, the Prince de
Salm, and a number of Russian and l'russian General Officers
and foreign Noblemen, who repeatedly cheered the tumults be-
tween Carter and Cooper, and Gregson and Caner. To-morrow
they proceed to Liege in their way to Cambray and Valenciennes,
and thence to Paris.

Saturday several Gentlemen of the Royal Com-
pany of Archers went out to the Meadow Park, at
Edinburgh, with the Indian warriors, to practise
shooting at a mark, but the latter being unaccustomed
to shoot at a great distance, and their arrows being
lighter than those of the archers, came mach short
of the target.
SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.—A grand hunt in the
ancient style, was lately given to the True Highlander;
by the Founder of the Society, GLENGAItY. It com-
menced at Invergarry on the 15th September, and
ended on the morning of the 18th, when the High-
landers assembled on the brow of a hill to breakfast,
consisting of a solid collation of all kinds of the finest
moor game, washed down with choke mountain derv,
(whisky.) The fete at Strathilain Garry followed on
the 19th, which was kept up with true Highland spirit,
and concluded with the old athletic exercises apt:Ping,
running, lif:;ng tie stone, and throteing Me sledge
!asmtne,-, in all -of which the most distinguished corn.
pctitor was the Champion Angus Mhore Kennedy.
IVc,oricoc!,s have made their appearance.: yesterday

Mr. CURWEN has, this year, dried the stalks or
Daunts of his very large crop of potatoes, with which,
in consequence of the deficiency of straw, he limn
iris cattle.

The bark of the willow tree, burnt to ashes, mired
with strong vinegar, and applied to the parts, will
remove all warts, corns, or excrescences on any part
of the body.
It is a singular fact, that a Gentleman near Ed-
monton it at this time cutting a meadow of grass,
ten inches high, which he intends making into bay,
should the present weather continue a few. days
As a proof of the beneficial effects of the late rains
upon vegetation in general, Mr. Fuost, of South
Mims, near Barnet, had about four acres of grays
land mowed down within these few days, the blades
of which were nine or ten inches in length, and he
supposes a few days of fine weather will enable him
to carry in an average crop. At Barnet, yesterday,
some mowers were at work in a field belonging to
Mr. LONG, with every prospect of a good crop.

CORN-EXCIIANOT.,MARC-LANI4 OCTOBER 6.—We
continue to have considerable arrivals of Wheat from
the Baltic Ports, besides a good supply from our own
Coast ; but, the demand being trilling, sales even of
prime qualities of Engill were with difficulty effect.
ed this morning at a reduction of fall 2s. per quarter
from Monday's prices, and all other descriptions were
unsaleable. Barley went off slowly, the late arrivals
from Suffolk and Norfolk having satisfied the de-
mand, there being but few maltsters yet at work.—
' Oats went off rather more freely than onWednesday,
but not at better prices. In Peas and Beans there is
no alteration.
