WRESTLING.

(From a Second Edition t;ftheEveter Alfred.)
VICTORY DISPUTED—CLAIMED BY CORNWALL.
DEVONPOWI, SIX o'Ctocl, Mo)(nay &name.
We regret to announce that a dispute has arisen,
Polkinhorn and his umpires claiming the championship,
and Cann and his umpires and committee that the last
fall, which was so proclaimed, was only a foil. We
have no time to express our opinion, and as we have
this moment received an express from the scene of
diversion, we give only the following :
Round I. At three-quarters past 12 o'clock the men set-to, hav-
ing cordially shaken bands, each carefully eyed his man. when
grasped, Polkinhorn, with his right hand in the neck, and fixed his
left on his shoulder; Polkinhorn having secured his hold, a great
deal of mertion was used at the 'node of proceeding ; in five mi-
nutes, a close had laid Cann a foil on the ground.
Round 2. This round was evidence of skill on the part of Cann ;
and decided advantage in strength in Polkinhorn, who, with a
desperate effort, contrived to throw Cann again—Cries glow' I
having, as is supposed, unfairly handed his man.
Round 5. Each man had now found out they bad enough tct do,
and that caution must be the order of the day. Polkinhorn walked
his adversary round the Course some time, when Cann seized him
with an Herculean hold, locked his leg within Polkinhoris, turned
his back upon him, and failed in all his might to loot his weighty
compeer. Cann came down, which, Art a deal of dispute, was
reclaimed a fall. Shouts of - • bets in favour of Polkinhorn.

This comprised six reTunis,;UoF;!ll:l; were most cautiously
and uninterestingly disposed of. In the sloth round, Cann having
been well punished bykicking,whichPolkinhorn not once attempted,
he again locked himself as before described, and threw Polkinhora
with a tremendous surge, a back WI, subsequently disputed, and
decided by the toes of a halfpenny. only a foil. Cann contending
for its correctnessbut placing himself in the hands of the Committee.
THIRD BOU r.
This wassanclutled in two rounds, when Cann was thrown, and
victory shouted for Polkinhorn,who threw up his jacket in triutnpb,
and left the ring.
Here a dispute was again introduced, Cann waited for his typo.
nent nearly an hour, and his umpire refusing to pay the stakes of
200 guineas. Polkinhorn was now called for, but not appearing,
Cann was to he awarded the prize, at least such was the language of
the authorities when our express left.
There was an agreement for two hundred guineas signed by Cann
and Polkhdlont, which was read to the people assembled. The
Tyers were Mr. Rundle, of 04khampton, and Mr. Snell, Ezeter.
For Cornwall, N. Grose, of Bodmin, and Mr. Higgs, of St. Malvern.

A match was made last night at the Craven's Head, Drury-lane
between Young Dutch Sam and Dan Mackenzie. A Gentleman
of the Press deposited 10L on the part of Mackenzie; Dick Curtis

made good at Josb. Hudson's on the 10th of November—the fight

CHATHAM, OCT. 22.—The HUMAR, Captain HAI.,
ats, came up the harbour in Friday evening, gave a salute in passing

This ship has been four years in the West Indies, and only lost

Holland is said to be supplying the Pacha of Egypt
with military stores ; and the Egyptian Chief is said, by
the same advices, to have offered 20,0001. to any one
who will capture Lord Cochrane.
WA IIDE RI NG M JOST RieL.—The Scotch Gentleman,
Who lately took a betof a thousand pounds that he would
travel as a wandering minstrel for six months, pay all
expenses, and save 1001. has been playing his bag-pipes
in several of the streets of Loudon during last week, not
without a little obstauction from some of the Jacks in
office. We understand, that at his outset, he promised
the 1001. to the distressed manufacturers in the west of
England; and we are informed, that he has already sent
101. (being nearly the whole he has yet been able to col-
lect) to a Gentleman in Newcastle-on-Tyne, for that very
laudable purpose. There are ail three months of his
penance unfinished.
