complete when Seroggin: and Turner enter the lists,
the friends of the first-mentioned pupilists are anxious
to match them fur a gond sum ; and likewise Ma:cow.

early in the next week, by their partizAns, to make
depniits, in addition to the Purses generally given
by the Pugilibtie Clnb.

trious classes, will, we trust, receive universal appro.
bation ; and perhaps Ministers ought not to be too
rigid in the securities demanded for re?ssment /tithe
sums advanced, since no independent men will tie up
their estates, and subject themselves to the danger of
extems, by joining in securities to Gcvernmentis...
The measure deserves the most serious considerations

'ha every part of the United Kingdom should parti-
cipate in the benefit, and that precautions should be
taken against jobbing. it may be rendered truly
beneficial, if conducted with a view truly benevolent;
and the contrary, if converted into an engine of un-
due influence. Ought not a Commission to be iasti.

whose CeftifiCMC the advances should be mule, since
so murk must depend on local knowledge ?
