PUCILISIL

Between the iron-fisted CABBAGIff, of Bristol, and PA.
RISII, the watertuan, for 451. aside.

Yesterday. Moulsey Hurst, the old favourite spot of
the Fancy, was once inure the scene of action betwee:l
the above boxers; and at half-past twelve o'clock, Caw •
bage, followed by Turn Belcher, and Harry Ilarmpr,
threw up Isis bat; and Parish, attended by Tom Owen
and Josh. Hudson, repeated the token of defiance.-
5 and G to 4 on Cabbage.
1. The Bristol hero, not nice as to preliminaries,
made play, and slightly touched Isis adversary's nob.
Parish made one or two rood stops, when Ci.blogr.
with his left kaoll, pre hitu such a fairer, that not only
:pail: his talking, but he went down on his !attar end,
and appeared quite confused.-5 to I.

2. Parish fought first, hot it was all tip so early as
this round, ma lie again went down.
3 to 8, and last.—The only description that can to
given is. Palish had out the slightest chance whatever.
le the fifth roamd he was punished to a stand still ; hot
at the instigation of his Second, Jushiluilson, he bught
three more rounds, in which he was hit all to piece•..
and carried out of the ring in a state of stupor. It was
over in eight minutes.
Remartss.—Tbe knowing ones were completely
Floored. Parish is quite told oat ; he must rut fight
any more, and be does not posse's any stamina. Cab-
bage, iu reality, as to his weight, po an iron-! Ito
arm ; and excepting his wrist, which was nearly broken
by the elbow of Parish in stoppiii4 one of his lilts, ha
had nut the slightest scratch about him.
A second fight, for s subscription purse, was mad s
between the Pes•sorp Gardener, (Miller) and a c.rl•lee
of the Hanle of Holt. The latter was se.•uniled by .it•
bat and a novice, and the Pea soup by Tem Jones an,:
Lenuev. This tight occupied the attention t.f the am
truss for 40 rounds, and upwards of an hour. Lots or
fun and roars of laughter were the leading features of
this mill. The Pea seep. not only proved himself a.
complete tactician as to the movements of the flog to-
wards victory, but a comedian of the highest class; anti
Liston, with all his tart to get the best of aailiecce?,
never excited the risible muscles of the spectators mart..
if so much, as the Pea-soap did ; but this cortia‘e y'
wogs, to use a theatrical phrase, only lasted for a :her
time, and poor Pea-soap, like better men, was compelled
to yield the victory to his anta4onist. Iloit s.as se-
verely punished. Upon the whole it was a gay day's
play.

CORN EXCIIANta, AL:O. 21.—The very grcat
doction in the price of Wheat within the last I,irtnighr,
which had been caused by the over.powering snppli.s,
was an inducement to invest money in the porehaie
of that'article, towards the c!ose of 310 iday's
when some considerable salts were effected, but oa
moat ruinous terms for the growers, and whit furll:,r
sales were matle*to-day were at Itlonday's prices ;
a very large quantity rem2ins on hand. Barley fu:ii
I supports Monday's prises, having hut little of
!quality at marhet.lll Beans, Peas and Oats there is
no alteration.

On Saturday last, a calf was expoeed for sal; in
our market by Mr. G. Ismay, wbich weighed
per quarter, though ouiy Lille weak, old. It was Ica
by Mr. R. looox, of Aikton.—(Coriisie Joss, teal )
