PUGILISM
Between Sampson (the Birmingham Youth) and Abraham Be-
laseo, for 10 1. aside, on Crawley Downs, in Sussex, 32 mi Pi

from London. •
On Monday afternoon a good sprinkling of the Fancy were
in motion; and early yesterday morning, long before tte)-
light, the amateurs were on the trot to get over the ground in
quick time, but many of their prods were filet to a stand-still
before Chapel {louse appeared in sight. The Sheenier were
numerous in the eat rewe, and Aby the favourite 6to 4. Both
of the combatants arrived on the •• bit of turf" in swell trim ;
and Sampson threw in his white /opine at a few minutes after
one, in the most determined style, attended by Josh. Hudson
and Ben Burns; Belasen soon followed witu Richmond and
Pater Crawley.
I. Sampson, very different from his former battles, was as steady as a
Greenwich Pensioner, a nil gave the preference for his opponent to go to work.
Belassm put in sligldly two leftsbuisted blows on the body. A long pause :
and Sampson pat down his hands. Belau.° very skillully stopped a most
tremendous blow aimed at his bead. An rschanee of blows, and the right
eve of the Jew was a little damaged. in clu4iti:. the Jew had tke best of the
fibbing. and ha 'using down Sampson was Ull.ll.l'lllllii.
2. Sampson lt's-ade play with his left Ima.l, and If .lasso put in a . r facer.
Sampson was again down, and undermost; hut the claret slightly appmr.ti
on the Jew's nose.
3. This was a short round. Sampson down.
4. and S. The time unmet ot Use Jew if.a the admiration of the spectator,:
and he took the lead.
G. 1 rot rounding at the ropes, the Jew seta Sampson down.
7. 'rite (Immingham Youth went down lions a severe Now near Ws win!.
Loud atiouting by the Sbeenies-2 W I interest; and liclasco you have
won it."
8. In favour of Reimer.: Sampson undermost.
9to 14. Most of the spectators had now wade up their minds that 1 je, set
mutt prove the conqueror : the seisnee he displayed was equal to an.
ever witnessed in the Pere King. Sampson went down. Sums ousrks u.
disapprobation.
IS. In counter-hitting. Sampson planted so tremendous a blow near the
Jew's temple, that lie tell out of the ropes nearly senseless ; and it was
thought it was all over.
Id. lhelauo tame up groggy to the scratch; but he got a torn and Swop-
son went down.
17, IS. 19,2 J. The Jew was getting weak ; but Item:hetes. he Wight lilts
a brave usan. He was dew,' in all of thew rounds.
21. A small turn in favour so Betas,.; indeed, it was almost any bode•
battle; a decided hit either way would have put an end to the ugbt. tamp-
ion down ou his keeps.

••
22. tSiimptust fibbed down.
Vt. The Jew's nob hy this period was severely punished ; and he went
down quite exhausted. 2tol on hanip.o.
2.4, And laxt. Vived a hit in the middle of his head. and wnt
down on his bad., and when that was ea:lel he was insensible to it. T!;e
battle won over in 4! minutes.
OnseavaTioms,-The eondlict of the Jew was the praise and
admiration of the Ring, and although in defeat he has raised
himself high in the estimation of the Fancy in general. H.:
was an inch too short for his opponent, and also a stose at
least in weight. Both of the men were in high conditinn.—
Sampson stood over his opponent, and he is rapidly improved,
not only in his person, hut also in his fighting. He immediate.:y
offered to tight any of his old opponents fur 1001. aside, ex •
cepting Josh. Hudson. Sampson's exterior did not spew muck
punishment.
The Second Battle, between Carrol (the Suffolk Champion)
and Whittle, a coal-whipper, for 201. aside, afforded lots of
laughter, but produced little milling. Hudson and Owen sat.
conded the latter, and Crawley and Gybletts, Carrot. Thirty
rounds. Twenty-eight minutes had elapsed when the Sandi
Champion was pronounced the victor.
The Third Battle was over in twenty minutes. Pat. Cava-
nagh (a new Irishman) entered the Ring with Stockman, for
20 sovereigns aside. Reed and Inglis seconded the latter, and
Crawley and Holt were for Cavanagh. The Irishman you i t
by giving Master Stockman a Tipperary
_fling that Shook his
knowledge-box all to pieces. Upon the whole it was a tidy
day's play; no grumbling occurred, and Grosses out of the
question.
CRICILIST.—The Great Mateo, winch has excited S 3 much in'
terest, between J. J. Wiliam Esq. with E. H. Budd, Esq. and
the County of Hants, against Welter Lsdbroke, Esq. and all
England, was decided on Monday lest, after four days of the
finest play ever witnessed, in favour of the County, who won

by five wickets.

BUFFALO HUNTING.—Oti Friday morning, as early as six
o'clock, the neighbourhood of Whitefriars was thrown into
greatest confusion, by the appearance of two buffaloes in a
frenzied state of wildness ; they ran at the top of their speed
through the Old Bailey, Fleet-street, Water-lane, and into Mr.
Pool's wharf, overturuing all before them; they wounded
many of the men about the wharf, one of whom has his shoulder
dislocated, and is in the hospital. Tbey would have done In-
calculable damage but for Mr. Pool's presence of mind, who
closed the gates, and, from a residence in South America,
knew the method of taking those animals. He therefore pro-
cured ropes and snared them ; still their ferocity became so
dangerous, that butchers were procured, who were obliged to
despatch them instantaneously to prevent further mischief. It
is not yet ascertained from whence they escaped.

CORN-ESCHANGE, Aug. 20.—Ticitrivals since Monday
are small. Wheat 1,800, Oats 668 quavers, Flour 2.000
sat:lm The weather still continuing changeabl.-, and pro-
tracting the harvest, morn money is asked for Wheat, sod
in a few instances it has been obtained. Barley, Beans,
and Peas are unaltered. Oats are held at rather higher
prices, bet there is no business doing.
