The Monarch of the main has condescend-4 to visit
our Irish coast. The beginning of this week slio.11•
of Whales entered several of the Anoihern boys of the
County of Wevford. They were p owner-
nits at rethard, and Ballygery. At Fells.srd,ll3 were
killed ; at fially.!eary 31. They measured eerier/111v
front lh to 31 feet ; one at Bagenbon measured, w.
are old 42 feet. The great Oreenland wh:sle is gene-
rally from tit) to 70 feet. This oneltiected visit. whirl,
onr Poets may hail as a precursor of a Roy Visit ot
an.•ther kind, will prove profitable to many of the in
habitants of the Wevf...rd coast. —The following ele-
serip:ive paragraph is from the lrealin d Herold ut
l'hirsday

"On Itindav night, about 9 o'clock, thirty-one
141u•.t-headed l'haralo•s, or Spermaceti Whales ran
ashore on Pallrgeary strand, near liallyltire. They
were from 16 to 34 fret in length, and were all se
cored by the coutvry people. The head of this fish
contains nearly one-tlsir,l of the whole bwly. The
~ouch is situated at the nuder part, and the tinder. jaw
is very small in prison to the upper. The eyes,
which ar•• situated Eshowe the corners of the mouth, are
remarkable minute. *1 he tail is long and slender, and
the skin smooth. None of the whale species vield oil
of better quality than this, though others produce
greater quantity. Yesterday the blabber was en
tirely separated from the flesh, which is of a pale red
colour, resembling pork, and the prize-owners, to
whom this unexpected visit mast prove a very valuta
ble acquisition, ►ere busily employed in converting
it into oil."

TO THE EDITOR OF TIDE WATERFORD

A most extraordinary circumstance took place in
the Bay of Fethard, county Wexford, on Wednesday
the I lth inst.—Ahout four o'clock in the evening of
the day mentioned a number of very large fish were
perceived by the seamen of a boat, which was at that
time making in fur the Bay. Struck by their uncouth
and extraordinary appearance, they resolved if possi-
ble to drive them towards shore by frightening them.
This they accomplished by making directly towards
them and beating the water, throwing in stones and
hollowing. The fish, it appears, were frightened, for
they instantly made for the strand, when a most novel
and extraordinary sight presented itself. No less than
52 %Ph&les of the Grampus species were seen rolling
and flonndering through the shoal-water ! Perceiving
that they were so closely pursued, they endeavoured to
tarn towards the deeper water (near Bannow), hut
' were again prevented by some of the sailors pushing
opt, and again preventing their retreat by beating the
water, &c. Unable to get back from the shallowness
'of the water, they were accordingly surrounded and
destroyed by hatches, sticks, poles, &r.
It does not appear that any satisfactory reason has
been assigned for so large a number of tirampuses ap•
nearing on this comit, but we are willing to suppose with
Bursa" that having pursued a large number of
small fish they too greedily devoured them, and having
followed them too far were thus unable to get back.
The leog•h of the longest was more then 22 feet,
and the girth of its body fully the else of a colt's.—
fiesh (when the outer skin was stripped 0)
had exactly the resegabbeace of bad beef, and their en-,

It was only the ontized-ort part of the fancy that at-
tended upon this occasion, and the road, in consequence
of the Coronation, was rather thin. At one o'clock,
Sampson threw his white to into the ring, attended
by Spring and the Got-light Nan, and in a few mintitei
afterwards Geblet, followed by Harmer and Bob Pur-
cell, repeated. the token of defiance. From the well
known activepunishing qualities of Sampson, he wt.+
the fisvoarite Sand 7to 4. Mr. Jackson was not present,
having business to do at Westminster Hall, and his situta-
tlon was filled by an Amateur, who stands very high in
the fancy.
Sampson appeared in excellent condition ; and he told
his friends, that he should win it in 20 minutes. liyh-
let, in point of strength and stamina, was by far the best
man. The detail of the fight would by no means i -
terest the attention of the amateurs ; suffice it to say,
that one hour and four minutes were occupied befo:•••
Sampson was defeated ; it is, however. but justice to sly
of him, that he, assisted by his seconds, strained every
nerve to win, and fir did not finally resign the contest
until Nature had quite deserted biro. Hyblet was the
most punished ; and in the early part of the tight it was
gllllolli i to 1 against him ; but *his strength and other
goo,' qualities enabled him to tire out Sampson. 'f!.
latter, as in all his other fights, went off from weakness.
Theffosh side lost their bleat, and it is not unworthy of
remark, that on she %Arne day last year, the 17th of July,
SAIIIIO%OII was defeated by Martin, at North Walsham,
near Norwich.

The second tillit, between Johnson, the man of colon r,
and Oarrol, tile Suffolk Champion, for 101. aside, orrt-
ircreeled Ilcrot! ! The Black was under the care of Pad-
dington Junes and Joshua Hodson; and Oarrol W. 14
handled by Harry Harmer and Tom Shelton. The loos!
arms of Johnson were terrific ; and in the course of 01.1
first two rounds, hit down liarrnl in such a decisive in in-
ner, that 11l !rilineas to I were Or red, and also a 'nines
to a shilling, Inst no takers. The Suffolk Champion
had been in company all the slimming with Mr. tux's-
is.Tima: but a few bits on his nob from the Black re-
lllll veil this troublesome customer from his upper w.irki ;
and he in turn bectine the assailant. Johnson displayod
not only good !inflow, hut game of the highest (viably
throughout the tight ; and °arm! astonished the ama-
teurs with the high courage he displayed. The lurk
showed nothing like lighting, after a quarter of an !twit-
liail elapsed ; and tiarrol, when he became sober, pusnisli-
e4 the HI c ; in every direction, and threw .4144ta dread-
folly round. IVheis 80 rounds had elapsed, the
I;in'oires.and several of theism:apart, recommended that
el&tr should take place ; hut the gameness of both the
islets spurned the otter and declared they would fight oust
the hat; le, and only wished the best man should have the
money. After 86 rounds had elapsed, occupying on,
horn, and 43 minutes, the Black resigned the contest.
Mosso was terribly punished ; and the high courage
played by liarrol, who was nearly two stone lighter tli4 n
11114 opponent, received the loudest cheers of approbation.
After the fight was over between Sampson and liyh!..t,
Josh. !Nilson threw up his hat to light the latter for
loot aside. There is no doubt but a match will be 'side
between them.

The battle between the Suffolk Champion and the
Illark :vas or un.-ed by all present, to have beets the
men terrifie e,n►test ever witnessed; not excepting- the
