Lord Chancellor ELDON this morning took his feat in this Court. LUCAS U. TEMPLE AND WITR. The SOLICITOR GENERAL Rated the .proceedings that had been had in this caufe, and added, that the reference to the Mailer was to Mr. Cox, and it was defied, that Mailer Hervey might be fubllituted for that Gentleman, as he was intimately acquaintid with the tranfaCtions.

ANECDOTE OF DEAN SWIFT AND HIS BARBER.-- The Dean, while refident on his living in the county of Meath, before his promotion to the Deanery of St. Patrick, was daily fhaved by the village barber, who at length became a great favourite with him.— Strap, while lathering him one morning, Paid he had a great favour to requeft of his Reverence ; that his neighbours had advifed him to take the little public houfe at the corner of the church-yard, which he had done, in the hope, that' blending the profeffion of publican with his own, he might gain a better main tainance for his family i—" Indeed," Paid the Dean, and what:can I do to promote this happy union ?" And plaife you," replied Strap, fome of my eutlomers have heard much about your Revetence's, poetry, fo that if you would condelcend to give me a [mart little touch in that way, to clap under my fign, it might be the making of me and mine for ever." " But what do you intend for your fign ?" lays the Dean. $' The Jolly Barber, if it pleale your Rever ence, with a razor in one hand, and a full pot in tile other."—" Well," rejoined .he Dean, " in that cafe there can be no great difficulty i fupplying you with a fuitable infcription :" fo taking np his pen, he initantly [crotched the following couplet, which was affixed to the fign, and remained fo for many years: " Rove um from Pole to Pole, but Rep in here, " Where sought escakbeihrriffi but.- , the Dor ADDRESS.

My kind, refpeeted, venerable friend, The world, and all its glories, have an end! Lu, how I Oliver ! blafted, bleak, and bare, DARNLEY'S delight, and ROYAL MAR care!

BOXING. The pugil;flic exhibition. between the noted Bel cher and Crib took place yefterday, at Moulfey Hurft for 200 guineas. Belcher, who has in fome degree, degenerated in flrength, and has loft an eye, formerly ranked firft in the fcience of prize fighting. Crib had but humble pretenfions to the cbarafter of a fkilf'ul boxer ; but had fuccefsfully oppofed Blake, Maddox, and feveral others of fecond rate, and was neverthelefs confidered a fate man to back. The mode of fighting he has uniformly adopted has been that of falling back, in order that his adverfary might follow him. At eleven o'clock Hampton was filled with the amateurs, and at twelve the candidates entered a zo•feet roped ring, encircled by one •of very large dimenfions. Each of them appeared full of confidence, and Belcher betted Crib 25 to 20 before they fet to.—Average betting was about fix to four in the ring. THE BATTLE. Round i. After Tome cautious fparring, Belcher hit Crib left and right on the bead and body. Crib returned a blow 'lightly, and attempted to rally, in doing which he clofed, and Belcher threw him. atoa on Belcher. a. Belcher made a feint, and hit his opponent two hard blows on the head and body, who returned one of them and, whilft reaching to make another, be fl ipped and fell on his bands. In this round Belcher drew the first blood. 3. A well contefted round, fomewhat in favour of Crib. Sear ral blows were exchanged with great dexterity. Belcher was at length thrown, and he put in an expert body blow whilft failing. Betting the fame as at the commencement of the battle. 4.

Belcher itopped two blows attempted by his adverfary, and again hit him right and left, and rallied him to the cords which confined the ring, where Crib clung to them, apparently in a very exhauftcd Rate, and fat Belcher kneeled over him with an air of confidence. 3 to I on Belcher. 8. The combatants exchanged feveral blows in a rally, and Crib bledfrcely. The round was ended by both falling. 9. Belcher attempted to hit his opponent right and left : Crib flopped the right handed blow, but the other told, and Belcher fell on it.

After hitting Crib feveral hard blows, without giving a Ibadow of chance, he rallied hint to the extremity of the when Crib again dropped, as if lifelefs 4 tot on Belcher. Crib flopped two of Belcher's blows, but he was not quick enough to recorn them, and both doled and fell irregularly. 12. Belcher in the preceding round manifefted that be was be come very weak, and Crib,in this ronnd,feemed to have recovered. lie rallied Belcher foccefsfully, and hit him tinder the peered eye and continued the rally until be doted his opponent againft th; ropes, and threw him. 13. This round was in favour of Belcher, who, however weak, gained the admiration of the amateurs by his fuperior !kill and courage. It ended with Crib being ditown. a 4. Both feemed to have gained fee& ftrength. Crib flopped two well directed blows, and Belcher initantly complimented him with two real ones on the body.. They doted and tell to the dif• advantage of Crib. 4tot on Bckher. is. Belcher appeared as gay as at the commencement, and ral. lied his opponent to the ropes, when an irregular itruggle finilhed the round. i 6. Crib flopped the blows aimed by his opponent. and fhewed that be had acquired a good deal with ref,@edt to (duet. After feveral (dentine blows had been excharged, bath fell .againft the ropes. The betting was very dull at this nage of the battle, fir it was known that Cribb had not received half the beating he was able to take, although he bore evident marks of violence On the other band it was feared that the conttitution of Belcher would not allow him to thy long. The fpedtators were inclined to take the odds. 17. Belcher feebly rallied his opponent to the extremity of the ring, and he fell through weakilas. atot on Belcher. 18. Crib received fome molt defperate body blows, as well as one of equal violence in the neck, and, on being followed up, he fell : to an ordinary fpedtator, it could not to int:pored that he would ever rife again. 5 to a on Belchrr, who, however, unknown to the fptdtPtors, had feaal.ied his right hand. 23.

Some murmurings—but" fair, had " fair, t h e majority. _ _ 215"rt..4 was the round that altered the odds in favour of Crib, 'or Belcher Oppeared very feeble; and the former beat lilt adver fat y away from him and 'knocked him down. 27.

Rs MAR K3.—The altonillment excited 'by the per. formance of Crib at this exhibition, was great. In his other comet}, he was confidered a novice, when compared with Belcher; and his only perfection was, that cf taking more beating than an ordinary bruifer could adminiller to him. In this inflance he appear ed, in flopping and meafuring his dillance, equal to the that oppofed him. He fill is, however, deficient in quicknefs, for it was not until Belcher bad laimed his hand, and received a blow under the perfet eye, that Crib had't Ihadow of chance. With refpe& to Belcher, all that vigour and fkill which was predominant in him in his day, fill remains; but, as in his battle with the Chicken, he was unable to judge his difance, which may be accounted for by the lots of an eye ; and when his fight became im. paired, by the hit under the perfett eye, he threw many blows away. Crib received a molt fevere beat ing about the body, and ho.h their heads were much disfigured. Although we cannot but feel hurt at feeing a man with one eye lb beaten, whom no man could make any nand againf before that irreparable lofs ; Rill we cannot withhold that commendation fo junly due to Crib; feverely as he was punifhed in the former part of the contefl, he teemed aftuated by no unne ceffary violence, as his adverfary declined in frength. The last three rounds, when he had Belcher com pletely in his power upon the ropes, he quitted his hold, without ufing any of thole advantages which the rules of fighting and the peculiar circumflances would have fanEticned. A conteft was to have taken place between young Belcher and Ryan; but the latter had been roughly handled in the [beet on the preceding night, which prevented hii attendance. Young Belcher confe• quently challenged Dutch Sam, but he refufed, not having been trained. A purfe was made for Jemmy from-Town and Cropley to fight for, which was won very eafily by the latter. To the difgrace of the age, there never was fo many people affembled together to witnefs an ezhi. bition of this kind. Amongti the numerous amateurs we noticed the Duke of ARGYLE, Lord A. HAMM. Tom, Lord UPTON, Lord BROOKE, Lord POLLING• Tom, Captain Balm Lay, Mr. MILLISH, Mr. BERKE LEY Cleaving, Captain WOLETENHOLME, Mr. T. SHIMIDAN, &C. &C. &C. The brutal amufement clofed with baiting a bull. It is fuppofed that the cattle of Belcher's having been beat yefterday, was ftriking his hand againtt one of the ports that form the ring, by which means he broke two of his right hand fingers. The man called jemmy from 1 own, who fought the fecood battle at Hampton yefterday, broke three of his fingers. Mr. Box, furgeon , of the Weft London Militia, fortunately palling by, very ably let them, which otherwife might have proved fatal to the man. A verdia, With 2col. damages, has been given to an inhabitant of Birmingham, as a fatisfaltion for the injury he and his wife (who was in an advanced flare of pregnancy) funtained, by their gig being overturn. ed, and themfelves thrown out and ferioufly injured. The Plaintiff, to avoid the carriage of the Defen. dants, which was coming on 1t full gallop, placed his gig on the left fide of the road, clofe to the gutter, and behind two fcavengere carts, and yet it was overturned. La(l week, as John Conldry and James Davis were employed in repairing a well, at Frilford, in Berk (hire, a large quantity of randy earth fell in upon them, by which means they were killed. J. Cou!dry was nearly extricated, excepting his legs, when a frefh quantity of earth flipped in, and quite overwhelmed him. Two other men were buried in affilling to get the poor men out, and it was with the greatea diffi culty they were faved. Davis has left a wife and eight children. A more than common light being perceived in the window of a Inure at Pulborough, the neighbours ' being alarmed, broke open the door, and found Mr. John Batted with his clothes nearly confumed ; he was yet alive, and gave account that as he was fitting by the fire reading, he fell afleep, and was awoke by the heat and pain from his burning clothes ; that he crawled towards the dour, but was unable to open it, and mull, have pealed alone if a lad had not acci• dentally teen the light. The chair on which he fat was burnt very much. The pour man lived about three hosts and a half afterwards, in great pair. I On Monday lafl, a C , b'er in Satfron.hill Having caught his wile in an intrigue with a Chimneyswe e p er in the neighbourhood, took her to Smithfield Market, where he expofed her to Pale, with a halter round her wail, when a great concourfe ct people colleaed to. gether, and in a (port time after the was purchafed by a journeyman butcher for two fhillings and eittht pence, who took his bargain away in a Coach to hir lodgings in Whitecrofs-ftreet ; but nn Tne'day morn ing the eloped from him, and has not Grace been heard of.
