DOS.lllo.—The interesting battle between Ecks and Isle of
Wight Hall, will take place to-morrowv for leo guineas, in a 24
feet ring. 20 miks from London. They are d c dedly the two
best scienced men of the day. Betting six to fear on Hall.
Monday, tw•o men had a quarrel, from some tri-
vial cause, at Rushmore, near Ipswich, which pro-
ceeded to blows, when one of them, named Thomas
Fish, received a tremendous blow in the eyes, which
knocked one out of the socket.

Dtrst IN HIGH Ltsr..—An affair of honour was
decided on Saturday morning last, on the Flat near
Chester, between Sir J. GRAY EGERTON and Lord
BELORAVE. On the first fire Sir JOHN'S ball struck
Lord BELGRAVE in the pistol-arm, but his Lordship
was not wounded dangerously, and is doing well.
The cause of quarrel between the parties originated,
we understand, in certain proceedings which took
place the day preceding, at the Annual Election
of Mayor, &c. &c. for the City of Chester. A Mr.
BARBER, in proposing Mr. EvANS, who is in the
Grosvenor interest, as Mayor, made what were
considered rather pointed allusions to some of the
Fgerton party, and insinuated that they had been
stimulated by Sir JOHN EGERTON himself. The insi-
nuation was required by Sir JOHN to be disavowed
by Lord BELGRAVE, who was present, but this his
Lordship refused. The greatest confusion then 4:me
in the Assembly, and.the RECORDER was ultimately
obliged to adjourn the Court to another' day. The
meeting between Sir Joni.; and Lord BELditAvs was
immediately afterwards arranged.
Fiar..—Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, a
fire broke out in the workshop,of Mr. SADD, carpen-
' ter in Graystokc.place, Fetter-lane, which burned
with great fury. Several engines soon arrived ; but
no water could be obtained for some time ;--..and,
owing to the confined situation of the place, the fire-
men were greatly retarded in their efforts to suppress
it; and it soon communicated to the house of Mr.
FLETCHER, tailor: and Mr. HAWKINS, cheesemortger,
both of st bids sustained considerable damage, as well
as that of Dr. MILLNER, and the Rev. Mr. BURMA'S
Chapel. The s hole of Mr. SAnn's premises, with all
the property, was consumed. The flames were, how-
ever, got under about two o'clock. Mr. S's loss is
estimated at COW.

ALARMING FIRE IN EsterEa.--Siinday mcrning,
about two o'clock, a fire burst out in the hack part
of the house belonging to Mr. Froom, chemist and
druggist, in the Nords.street, Exeter, which seemed
to threaten destruction not only to a great part of the
buildings there situated, but to many extensive pre-
mises in the Fore street, and St. Mary Arches-street,
and which mast inevitably have fallen a prey to the
devouring element, had the wind blown in that di-
rection. The flames quickly communicated to some
premises occupied by Mr. Rowe, plasterer, at the back
of Mr. Froom's, and from thence to Mr. Richards,
the George Inn ; and in less than two hours, the
whole of the premises of Mr. Froom, Mr. Richards,
and those occupied by Mr. Rowe, were neatly demo-
lidied. Several engines were, on the alarm of fire
being given, quickly on the spot, and with tlw fire-
' men and ichabitatits in general, exerted themselves
in a manner surpassing all belief ; and which reflects
c 6 them every degree of praise which can be bestowed
Natheir humane exertions. On its being intimated
t many large casks of sugar, oil,
.viaegar, &c.
.Were in the front cellar, many of them. regardless of
danger, but truly alive to the interest, of their fellow-
creatures, in di tres.ed situations, quickly descen-
ded, and almost instantanously, with ti.e able assis-
tance of many in the street, immense caks were seen
ascendieg with astonishing rapidity ; and in about
ten m:auts.s, the cellar was completely cleared of its
contents. To the worthy Chief Magistrate, the peace-
officers, and the Officers and privates of the 7th dra-
goons, every praise is due ; for it is to their steady
conduct, in conjunction with the efforts cf the inha-
bitants assembled, that this unfortunate accident had
not been attended with the most direful effects. We
cannot quit this subject without severely reprehend-
ing the conduct of some individuals, who appeared
to have no other object in view than pillage ;.—for
several depredations were committed by monsters in
human shape, upon the property snatched from the
Hanes. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Froom was
insured for £lOOO only, Mr. Richards for £650, and
Mr. Rowe, we regret, to state, was not insured. It
cannot, as yet, he ascertained how the file originated.

CORN•ENCII ANC E, MA R ANE, OCTOBER 25.--Our
Market continues very thinly supplied uith all dc.
scriptions of English Grain, and what few samples
of %%heat appealed this morning, found buyers at
Monday's pi.; es, as well as the best foreign, although
we have had about 4,000 quarters fiom abroad tnis
week. Fine Barley fully supports Monday's prices,
having a brisk demand for that article, and but little
at market. Oats are Is. per quarter dearer, but roc
brisk in sale at that advance. Peas and Beans are
rather better sale than on Monday, and higher prices
were ask'd for each. •
