WRESTLING. On Monday and Tuesday last, the days appointed for the play at Hayle, the weather was remarkably fine, and a great number of people collected, it is estimated to the number of four thousand. Sixty-six standards were made. LONG, of Gwennap, and ROBERTS, of Ludgvan, played one hour and twenty-five minutes, when the toss was in favour of Long. Edward DELBRIDGE of Gwennap, and BERRIMAN played half-an-hour, when Delbridge was thrown. FORD of Phillack, a fine man, and TREGLAWN, of Ludgvan, played half-an-hour, and it ended by FORD being thrown in first-rate style. The WILLIAMS's (six brothers) all made a find display. The award of prizes was follows:- first prize, Wm. TREGLAWN, £4; second ditto, Stephen WILLIAMS, £2; third ditto, John WILLIAMS, £1; forth ditto, Matthew TREGLAWN. JEFFERY, of Ludgvan, threw Wm. PENHALE, of Gwinear, a fine fall, but it was discovered they had previously agreed, and consequently they were excluded from any participation in the prizes.
We understand that a grand wrestling match will come off at Penzance about the end of August, the prizes to be liberal, and the whole to be under the management of respectable parties. It is said that several London gentlemen have contributed to the funds, and will be present on the occasion. It will be seen by advertisement, that a wrestling match will take place at Ashburton, on Tuesday next, between the men of Cornwall and Devon, for £50 and a champion belt. A wrestling match came off at Torquay, on Friday evening the 11th ult., between Mr. C. HEATH, of Devon, and Mr. R. CORNISH of Cornwall. The prize contended for was the championship and a handsome belt, fastened with a diamond stud, value fifty guineas. After twenty minutes sharp play, the Cornishman was thrown a fair back - after a rest of half-an-hour, they went at it again, but the Cornishman was so sorely kicked that he gave in, and the Devonshireman carried off the prize. It will be seen by an advertisement in another column that Thomas GUNDRY, the Cornish champion, offers to wrestle with any man in England, (the best of two falls out of three) for fifty pounds.

COULSON v. GIDDY. This action brought to recover £4 0s. 8 ½d. for goods
supplied to the Choristers of St. Mary's Church, upon the promise in writing
of the defendant to pay for them. The defendant pleaded a set off of £2
10s. rent due for the plaintiff for the occupation of a pew in St. Mary's
and the payment of the balance of £1 10s. 8 ½d, into court. The principal
question, therefore, at issue, was the legality of the set off. Mr. DARKE
appeared for the plaintiff, the defendant pleading his own case. No
decision was given, the court taking time to consider its judgment. Several
other cases were heard, the number entered being fifty four.
