WRESTLING AT PENZANCE.

....---... _
A grand Wrestling Match was played at Penzance last week,
which excited the greatest interest throughout the county of Corn-
wall, nearly all its crack ones having entered the ring„ and a finer
display of manly strength and science has seldom been witnessed.
The umpires, were Polkinghot ne, the Cornish champion, and Saun-
ders, a veteran wrestler, noted in his day. Thirty.sit standards
were made, among whom were fludda, Clemence, Warren, Fox,
Meaghei,Trembath, and many others of credit and renown. After a
Severe contest of three days, the first prize of 12 sows. was awarded
to Clemence, of St. Just ; the second of seven saes. to Warren, of the
same parish ; the third of four sows. to Trigging, also of St. Just ;
the fourth of two sows. to Berryman, of Trevietinack ; the fifth a
gold laced hat to W. Bodda, of Crowan ; the sixth a silver lactd
bat, to M. Mathis, of Crovian. Nothing could exceed the good
conduct of the men throughout, and we hail this exhibition as the
forerunner of the public' revival of tls.s admirable branch of athletic
science in Cornwall, which has been so celebrated for its powerful
wrestlers from time Immemorial.

Ocr. 4.—The Earl of Frve has arrived
in Edinburgh, from the seat of Sir WlLusts Eworr, Bart. at
Stobs Castle.—Dr. SARUM and Mr. Dawson, who were recently.
so severely hurt by beteg thrown nut of a gig, as formerly stated,
are both recevering_up ; but their unfortunate companion, Mr.
WILLi&lt &moos, tailWyesterday morning of locked jaw, brought
oa him by the injuries he received on that occasion.
On a grave-stone in one of the Church-yards in the
Medea Athens, is the following truly classical epitaph ;
Here lies two brothers,

By misfortunes surrounded--
Doe died of his wounds,

And the other was dsowndass‘

The story whiclll);;Venin;liingtTserooni of the Pa.
pets, of the Duchess of St. ALIA N. 11,. when Miss MELLort,
giving away her fl innel petticoat in charity, is not new ;
though we are uncertain whether the writer of the para-
graph was the plagiaiist of Rousseau', or the lady the
imitator of the fair D'EPINA Y. In Ratmantdi Confes-
sion, we find the deed thus immortalised t—" Un jour,
gelait tres fort, ea our rant un paquet qu'elle In'en-
voyaity je trouvai un petit jupon de flannelle d'Angle
terre, gieeik me nearguait avoir porte, et dout elle vauloit
que je me fisse faire un gilet. Ce soin,yges qu' ,
me parut si tendre, comme si elle se fut depouillee pour
me vetir, que, dans mon emotion, je baisai vingt fois en
pleurant le billet et k jupon." This is finer than the
English story, which presents only a naked fact to our
admiration ; for we are not told that the person on whops
Miss M [LION'S " well-nited" petticoat descended, either
shed tears, or himed.the ample gift.--Atka.

da Plata, to Mr. S. Barnard; of Newmarket, for 150 guineas. The
Marquis of Sligo has sold his b. c. Pelican,-by Oiseau, to Ir.

, ranter, to the Earl of Derby, for 400 guineas.
Revtawsa.—This celebrated race horse,which for the last twelve
months has created so much anxiety in the sporting circles, died
last week at Middleham, from mortification, arising from an ope-
ration. He was gut by Abjer, out of Blue Stocking, was the pro-
perty of Lord Kilburn, and when a Om-year-old, was generally
supposed to he.the best of his age in England ; bet, from sand.
;racks and other castles, his rotating afterwards was not so good as
was looked for from his former performances. He was backed
for large stakes for the last St. Leger; and had he r6rnained
would, in all probability, have made some changes in the affairs of
the sporting world.

PEDESTRIANISM.

Monday last, John West, a person well known to the sporting
world as one of the best walkers of the day, started from the Te-
kgrapb Inn, Lower.rosd, Deptford, to perform the arduous task
of walking fifty-ala miles in a day for ten successive daye (Sundays)
excepted),.lialf backwards. The conditions of the wager were
200 guineas to ISO, and the pedestrian was to walk two stiles out
and two milesin. Although he has unfortunately hurt his suck,
he still continues his task with unabated •igour, and seems con-
fident of success. •

• The Duke of Winamcvoi not thinking It right to recommend
to the Government a reduction of the Army, his Grace has intro-
tluced a kind of Reform, of great importance to the Army and the
country. He has declared, and be acts rigidly op to the declaration,
that no claims for promotion, on the ground of priority, shall be set'
vide, however powerful may be the influence and patronage used
for that purpose.

It having been stated that the 22d Regiment suffered materially
by fever since their arrival at Jamaica, we have now much pleasure
in stating the contrary as the fact, as appears by the following let-
ter, received at our office on Sunday dated July 25:—" We ha►e
had Dot one death by kart since our arrival iu Jamaica; both offi-
cers and men never enjoyed better health; not a single officer sick,
and fewer men in Hospital than is usual for a Regiment on the

IUBUN, OCT. 5.

At three o'clock yesterday the Marquis Wzr.utst.avl
and suite arrived at the Castle from the Viceregal
Lodge in the Phenix Park. His Excellency appeared
to be in good health and spirits. ' The Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor was honoured with an audience, after
which his Excellency, having transacted some-business
with. die Right Hon. Mr. LAMB, and the AT-Toasty,
and Sakicaoa GINERAIA, retired, from the Castle at
four o'clock. His Excellency has been for the last few
days remaining at the Viceregal Lodge, to receive the
Marquis Douao (eldest son of the Duke of WELLING-
TON), whose arrival in this city has been hourly ex-
pected.
REPRESENTATION OF THE COUNTY OF Coaz.—Mr.
WRIXON Beactrze, Messrs HYDE, senior and junior, of
Castle Hyde, are ill named for the vacancy in the Re-
presentation of the. County.
Mr. MARSHALL, in his evidence before the Commit-
tee of Emigration, states, that on his property in the
county of Kerry, which was very much over-peopled,
he gut rid of upwards of 1,100 individuals, and had
still sufficient ; and he gives the proportion that the
numbers on one estate he had bore to the size of the
estate, which was two souls to every arable acre.
It becomes our melancholy duty to announce another
murder in adJition to the many horrible murders that
hive already been perpetrated in the County of Tippe-
rary, and which is, unhappily, connected with the hor-
rible murder of the late Mr. Chadwick.4t was rumoured,
that immediately after his conviction, and while leading
from the dock, the guilty. Grace said, that before May
,Day every person that bad a hand in his conviction.
'would be shot. If he made this declaration, hisl
prediction is being fulfilled. As three brothers of Philip
Mara, who had the honesty and manliness to prose-
, .cute one of the murderers of the late Mr. Chadwick,
and an apprentice, were returning, about seven o'clock
in the evening, from their work (being masons employed
in building the ominous Police station at Rathcannon),
they were waylaid bY thel-2 armed ruffians,not at all dis-
guised, who fired on them from berind a ditch, between
the plies whore Mr. Chadwick was murdered, and the
cross-roads at Ilournacroosna. The shots did not take
effect. Two of the brothers immediately ran off in
the. direction of Holy Cross, and the apprentice made
off, and pursued his way to the intended barrack Co-
lor tonately, Daniel Mira, the third brother, took refuge
in the house of cite Kennedy, which was close by. The
murderous ref Ins hawing seen him enter, immediately
proceeded to the house, smashed the windows, and broke
open the door. As soon as they entered they seized
their unfortunate victim, in the midst of Kennedy's
family, and shot him dead, thus effecting their horrid
and murderous purpose in the face of a whole family,
and in the midst of a village. The murder of this unfor-
tunate but honest man was effected almost in the centre
of three police stations—via. at Ratbcannon, BrasforJ,
and Holy Cross. The audacity of the murderers was
only to be equalled by their sanguinary dispositions.—

Mr. Langston declared be had done all in his power to shun
the robbers, and that what bad been stated as to the converamed
with Skerret was not true. He never knew who had the pre.
perry; and what he meant was, that when he returned ham h
would endeavour to And the parties. He asked to be admitted is

Saturday a man, named .44541astWaTtd a woman with whom
be cohabits, named Nary Giles, were brought before the sitting
Magistrate, R. J. Cuarascas, Esq. charged with passing counter-
feit money.
Mr. Whitaker, landlord of the Prince of Wake, at Brixton, stated,
that on Friday, Mary Giles entered his tap-room, and having called
for a pint of porter, said that two men, whom she expected imme-
diately, would pay for it. Soon afterwards two men called, one of
whom, Austin, called for a quartern of gin, for which he paid with
a good sixpence. He then proceeded to pay for the pint of beer
which the woman called for, and tendered a shilling, which wza im-
mediately discovered to be a counterfeit one. The complainant re-
marked, that there was a place very convenient (alluding to Brixton
Gaol,) to which they deserved to be sent, for attempting to pan
spurious coin. The prisoners immediately turned on their heels,
tend hurried off towards town, followed by Mr. Whitaker, who,
autpecting they were regular smashers, aeon came up with and gave

and nine o'clock, 114 Was passin2 through George-itreet, St. Giles's,

the prisoner, .who was standing with some other men at the corner
'of the street. He (wittiest') had a blue bag in his hand, containing a

siderable value. The prisoner made a snatch-at the bag, and, at
the same montent, witness received a violent blow on the head from
some person behind him, which felled bun to the ground. The
party, which consisted of several persons, then beat and kicked
hini in a most brutal manner; in fart, he thought it was their knew
tion to murder him. Tie ptisoner ran away With his companions,

moned to this office on Saturday by Strstton, the informer, fur

gally entitled to.

at the defendant's house on the 13th of October last for Ss. 6d. and,
she redeemed them on the 15th of the same month, and paid Si. 7d.

PARISH OF ST. LUXE'S, MIDDLESEX.

ELECTION OF A SEXTON.
Yesterday, at ten o'clock in the morning. a large
issensbleee of vestrymen met in the Church t WILLIAM
Noma, Esq. senior Churchwarden, in the Chair.
After some routine business was disposed of, the I
CHAIRMAN stated the purpose for which the Vestry had'
:assembled, and called upon the Vestrymen to propose
whoever they thought fit to fill the office of Sexton.
Of the thirteen who had announced their intentions
to start, only nine were put in nomination, :Messrs.
Bull, Cave, Derbyshire, Engley, Gresham, Jones, Teal,
Tyler, and Wiglyton, upon whose several merits and
ability to perform the duties of the office, their respec-
tive friends spoke at considerable length.
In the course of their nomination, Mr. RICHMOND
took occasion to animadvert upon what, in his opi-
nion, was a very improper application of the influence
of office ; he alluded to the fact of the claims of one of
the candidates being sanctioned by not only the Cler-
gyman, but the Churchwattlens and other officers of
the parish. . •
The Cuatastaw said, so 'colopletely was he at issue
with the worthy Gentleman, that he thought it the
duty of the perish officers to recommend those whom
they knew to be best fitted for the office; for it most'
be admitted that they had better opportunities of
forming a correct judgment of the qualifications of a
candidate than the parishioners generally.
Mr. HUGHES, ex•Chnrchwarden, in proposing Mr.
Bull to fill tne office of Sexton, congratulated the Ves.
try on the prospect, if he was elected. of a saving ac-
cruing to the parish of 501. a year. Mr. Bull was the
officiating sexton of the Chapel of St. Barnabas. and he
was stilling to give up that salary. and do the duties of
bcdh offices—(Loud cries of no, no). A long and very
warm debate ensiled, when the shew of hands were
scribed to be in favour of Mr. Epgley,

A p.. 11 was thasAkiisandeil on behalf of seven other
candidate; wild' was opened at two o'clock, and con•
tinned rill sir, and is to remain open till seven this
even.ng.

they would weigh impartially the evidence on both
sides. lie stood before them, on this account, in the
greatest embarrassment intaginable ; but he would sit
down, confidently trusting to their judgment upon the
evidence he had addoceJ, and under the conviction
that he had done his duty towards that respectable body,
the Corporation of Liverpool, whom he had the honour
of representing. The Learned Gentleman concluded
by observing, that he was satisfied the Jury would use
thrit judgment indiscriminately and impartially.
Mr. Baron HOLLocx then proceeded to sum up the
evidence to the Jury, and said, they must be satisfied
that the nuisance complained of, was proved to them
' beyond doubt, before they found the defendants guilty.
The question for them to con.ider was, whether' he
river was in as good a state as it was seem .years ago.
He was of opinion that the Act which had been alluded
to, gave the defendants full power to make any new cuts,
so as that trade and commerce generally were improved.
If they were of opinion clearly, from the evidence of the
plaintiffs, that such works were injurious to trade, then
they would find the defendants guilty; but if they be-
lieved the evidence on the other side, then their verdict
tatut be, not guilty; but if there was the least doubt
upon their nunds, he would read over the whole of the
evidence. . .
The Jury consulted for a few minutes, and then re'
turned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Early in the morning they were conducted to the
Chapel, where the Sacrament was administered to them
after which prayers were read in the Chapel, as usual,
to the whole of the prisoners. At half:past eleven

ARGYLL ROOMS.

There oras a grand Masquerade at the Argyll Rooms
last night,which was Irv), fully, and we may say fashion-
ably attended. Indeed we have not seen Co numerous an
assemblage for a long time, and we have to thank our
friend Cuoacits Wain Ti for his very proper regulation,
by which all Gentlemen, not coming in character; were
obliged to be in full dress with masks, which gave to the
whole scene of mirth, a great additional eclat. We re-
gret, however, that we cannot say as much in favour of
the character masquerader; of whom there were veil few;
and, with three or four exception; badly supported.—
There was the usual concourse of flower girlsaymphs,
Turks, Bavarian broom girls, and such like personages;
but, with the exception of Mrs. Paidiva Pry, and one
broom girl in particular, we Cannot say anything fa-
vourable. The former Lady was indeed indefatigable,
and never failed to create a erowd of listeners wherever
she took her stand. There was also a Venus, but if
Venus ever possessed such a face or dress, we are at a
loss to conjecture how she could ever have been desig-
nated the Goddess of Beauty. On the whole, however,
the Masquerade went off exceedingly well, and has, no
doubt, given great satisfaction to our friend CIIA RUCS,
as the Champagne was flying on all sides, and ivhen we
left appealed to have had its proper effect on all its
votaries.

TJIE CROPS. •

-.._--

NEW c Jut.ir to.
The Illy harvest has j•sst co.noavneed in Westmore
land. T. e crops throughout the county, but WI,
particularly on Szainmo-t, are unusualty west. In-
deed, we have heard repes table and intelligent far men
say that in some fiel.ls they expect to have a second
crop of grass. In Cumberland, the hay appears to be
neatly won. 1341 f of it has been stacked, part is lead-
ing, and there is a considerable quantity in vice. It
seems to be abuldant beyond all precedent. and if
one portion of tht county is more d.vinguished than
another for fine clops, we should sty it is the neigh-
bourhiod of Penrith. The barley, tye, and oats in
Cumberland ale looking er remely stall; and the same
descriptions of grain in Westmoreland, though of course
comparatively trifling in quantity, are also very pro.
arising; but in both counties the wheat appears to be
a failing crop: it has been much injured by the frost
in the winter, and is generally very thin: whole fields
of it are to be seen almost entirely yellow, with only
here and there a patch of green. Though other kinds
of corn are looking very well in Northumberland, we
are sorry to observe these are several fields of wheat
up the Tyne side that have the same unhealthy yellow
tinge. The new laid is hot in quantity at all to be
compared with the meadow or old land hay.

DUMFRIES, -frt... to.
For the last five or six days the weather has been
everything the husbandman could wish, and ncthing
seems waived but a predominance of sunshine over
shower, to crown the year with that abundance which
maketh the widow's heart to sing for joy. Even its
districts c mparatively high, exposed and wild, the o its
and potatoes are neatly as strong as they ale in the
val eys, and the deep green tinge they everywhere ex-
hibit. may be regarded of itself as a certain indication
of robu t health. In a few early. spots the former are
getting fa-t into ear, and will probably ripen simulta-
neously with the barley. Hay making is pretty far ad
vanced, and the colour of the crop around this town
proves tha. it is not a whit the worse of the refre:shing
showers that intervened between the time cf mussing
and die ime of rick•ng.—Dumfries ries Courier.
The exceeding fine weather has had the effect of
enahling the fat risers in this neighbourhood to proceed
rapi fly with their hay, nearly the whole of which is
housed. The wheat, although in genet al very strong,
stands majestically, the grain has begun to acquire
sunset ,ing like consistency, the ears are remarkably
fine, and scarcely any smut is observable. Bailey and
oats form a m-st striking contrast in their healthy ap-
pearance this year compared with the scanty and
parched crop of the la,t.—Hereford Journal.
