So& be the shunbers of my dearest friend, While far from me he braves the danerous seas, 0! God of Life! his wand'ring steps attend. And bleu his days with health, content, and ease ! Not for myself I breathe the fervent posy's, Ma' sorrows press upon my faithful hearts Bet for my frisod—the storms of Ufa to hem Ana meet resignl the fate that bibs* part ! Oh! may he hope In Item'aly scam to prove, Those peaceful joys that ace siovisd us bare, Where lasting bliss shall crown oar mutual love ; Revive the smile, and clime the sorrowing tear ! And may this soothing thought afford relief, When anxious cares disturb his virtuous breast, Cheek each sad sigh—repress each rising grief, And bear his view to our eternal rest ! The match between Jedosson, of Paddington, who bad acquiresimuch celebrity, by beating the best men ' of his weight of the day, namely, Purcell, Lancaster, &c. yesterday fought•Mertia, a baker, of about equal weight, and a superior main altogether is the gift of leasing. The match was for 100 gs. and it took place i i a meadow, about four miles through Hendon. The company was more numerous than select, and the sets-out were more useful than ornamental. The seconds were Brown and Spring for Martin, and Pad elington Jones and the veteran Joe Ward, for Johnson. Betting 5t04 on Johnson. The battle had excited much interest. Round t. After two minutes sparring, Martin threw out hi, left band by his adversary's head, followed by his right. Both hands missed, and he received lightly upon she body. Martin broke from a close, and hit Johnson slightly, (although it drew Wood), with the left hand under the eye. Both fell is a trial ssi strength. S. Martin placed his hits and broke his ground with great jadvneut ; Johnson ran at him with much determined meaning, but be was well measured, and hit down.-41 to len Martin. S. Johnson was bleeding copiously from the left eye, and when be made his favourite right-handed lunge in thirround, ,Ise was parried and returned upon with the left hand, which ekenterird the other side of the bead, and both cheeks streaming with claret, pr in.'. Martin was hit about the body in the round, and after weaving with his adversary's head under his arm, he was Soared In a trial of strength. 4. Johnson was now reduced to a blinker with one eye, and the other was far from perfect. lie placed his right-handed hit upon Martin's side, but he was out of distance ' and it told par tially only ; and a severe hit was placed upon his contused eye, which again dropped him, and set his friends upon the wriggling .system how to make the best of a queer speculation. The poundage would not have been taken. S and 6. Johnson was fighting open-moathed, and he was down in both rounds, and severely hit. 'T. The battle was reduced to a certainty, although Johnson ;nade a gallant stand _; but, like Scroggins to Turner, hit short, end was not allowed to get in enough to do execution without being - keocked down. In a bugging match, both went down. Johnson made his right-handed hit on his adversary's throat, but at the end of the round he was floored. 9. Some smart fighting took place, but Martin availed himself a' his superior leng th , and in bitting with his adversary , he broke a ray with much roitness, and finished the round with a sailer o t the lug. Here Johnson was beat; and to follow them 'through eight trlier rounds, would be tedious. It ii sufficient to state, that in t le 12th round, Johnson, in a convuhive effort, tapped the claret f onthis adversary's eat, but he was knocked down for it. Atter hghtiug the 16th round, .lehnsua was linable to gin off his se cond's knee, and victory was proclaimed for Martin, without a visible bit on the front of the head. Johnson is much the worse for wear, after beating so good a man as Purcell. Added to fine science, Martin is a cool and collected fighter, and hits with much judgment, although he wants to operate upon another head or two to acquire direct measurement. He will have gained confidence in himself by this combat, and it beaten hereafter, the victor will be glad to hear the welcome word "enough." The battle lasted 26 minutes. There were three fights amongst mongrel bred ones in spite of the rain, which drove the people away by degrees, until there was no bustle to keep the game alive any longer. Upwards of twenty horses are already arrived at Doncaster to enter for the ensuing Races. The Marquis of 4,lneessasany has purchased Sir M. M. SYKES'S b. h. Bustler, by Camillus, for :-.130g s.

On Monday the 7th instant, the inhabitants of Newhaven were greatly amused with a boat race, run from Newhaven round the island of Inchkcith and back, between a pleasure boat, named the Unity, of Leith, and a fishing boat, named the Kings, of New haven: the boats were manned with two men each, and gained by the Kings by half a mile, although she run aground on Inchkeith, and was a considerable time before she could be got off.

Yesterday - , Mary Mawnean and John Borealtt were indicted for forging and uttering a certain par per, purporting to be the last will and testament of John Reynolds, with intent to defraud George Rey nolds, uncle of the deceased. In another count they were charged with uttering the same, knowing it to be forged.—Mr. PLATT stated the indictment. Mr. Gunisrr addressed the Jury, and detailed the ease, - which appeared in the following evidence : William Brampton said, that he attends the Con sistory Court of the Bishop of London. Witness -brought the paper purporting to be the will of the deceased, John Reynolds, and now laid it on the table. The paper being read was as follows: " I pronshe to John Borebant, that if I die before the next Kelveden Fair, I will bequeath to his sister Aud this I give to prove that I will not deceive his sister. (Signed) " Jeav Cross-examined by Mr. AsLay.—The will came to wituess's hands on the 7th December last. Some measures were adopted In the Ecclesiastial Court, respecting the validity of the instrument as a testa mentary paper. What these were he could not say s John Syburn knew the deceased, John Reynolds ; he drove one of the Blackwall coaches ; he was kill ed on the 6th of November. Cross-examined by Mr. Assay.—Waited on Geo. Reynolds, with two other perms, on the 18th May; £lOOO was offered to the prisoners if they would re linquish their claims on the will. knew that pro ceedings were going on in the Ecclesiastical Court. Does not know that a similar offer was made since the indictment was drawn out. The proposal was refused, but the Attorney said he would take £1250 on behalf of his clients. Re.examined.—Does not believe the signature now shewn him to be that of the deceased. Cross-examined.—Saw the deceased write a fort night before he died. He was a coachman, and might occasionally take a glass, Mr. Baron GRAHAM submitted to Mr. Gurney, whether, after what had been stated respecting the offer made by the prosecutor to pay £lOOO if all claims on the will were abandoned, the very circum stance of such an offer being made militated, as he conceived, against the forgery? Besides, the very circumstance of there being an issue now before the Court, at Doctors Commons, was sufficient, as he thought, to decide the point now before the Court. Mr. Justice Balser said, the whole seemed merely a question between parties on the one side and parties on the other. Surely humanity itself would suggest the propriety of the case going no further. Mr. Justice Buaaouon was of the same opinion. Mr. OnaNst stated, that after this intimation from the Bench, he would not proceed in the ease. llo\v ever strong his own opinion might be, he felt it his duty at all times ..to submit to what he heard from the Bench. It certainly, he must say, had, since he came to the Bar, been always his study to conduct every case which was committed to him, not so much for the conviction of offenders, as the advantage of public justice. To promote the purity of the admi nistration of public justice was certainly an object to be ardently aimed after by all who attended to the case of public prosecutions. All he could say was, that his client was in the 70th year of his age, and was very desirous to have all things settled. This might justify his offer of the money. He would therefore, in deference to what,he saw was the opi nion of the Learned Judges on the Bench, not pro ceed further in the case. Mr. Baron Gaastass told the Jury, they had a very pleasant duty to discharge, for, the prosecution being given up, they had no other task than to dis charge the prisoners.--.-Verdict —Not Guilty. There was a very long argument on this case be tween Messrs. Gvneav, AbOLIPPIVii, and PLATT, on the one side, and Mears. ALLSY And Cuewoon on the other, respecting the forgery of the deed. Several cases were stated by Mr. Att-ey in support of his opinion ; and a number of cases were quoted by Mr. Guutcey, particularly those decided by Lord Ellen. ' borough, on the other. The Juntas for some time conversed together, and agreed to allow the case for the prosecution to go on. The verdict was of course Not Guilty, as we have stated above. alfichad llayes, 0, Bridget Carey, 29, and Jahattna Barr.y, 26, were indicted fur assaulting Ann Cave on the highway, and taking from her person a silk hand kerchief. After bearing several witnesses, the Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge (Mr. Jus tice Batt.ea), found them—Not Guilty. George Kaylock, 14, and Robert Macbride, 17, were capitally indicted for privately stealing a silver wai ter, a silver tea-pot, Acc. in the dweUing-house of John Baker, Esq. of James-street, Buckingham-gate. Mr. A/mama stated the case. Mr. Baker's servant said he brought down the things after breakfast, and put them on the kitchen table, and in a quarter of an hour after that he miss ed them. They have never been found. William Smith, a butcher's boy, saw the prisoner .Kaylock at half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday, the sth of the present month ; he was getting over the rails of Mr. Baker's area when witness saw him ; he then ran off. Kaylock was not pursued. Did not see the other prisoner that morning. Has no doubt of Kaylock being the person he saw in the area. George Fay saw Macbride on the day mentioned, about half after eleven ; he was running very fast at the bottom ofJames-street; he had his hat close shut up, as if he wished to hide something ; prisoner ran down York-meet, and was looking back all the time that he ran ; saw him the same day at Queen-square Police Office. The other prisoner was on the opposite side of the street, and be was running also very swiftly. Has no doubt of the two prisoners. John King, servant to a butcher, knows Macbride, saw him on the day in question between eleven and twelve, near York-street, which is close to James. street ; he had his bat in his hand, and was running very fast ; he had something concealed in his right breast. Did not see the other prisoner. The plate has never been found. Joseph Cooper, an offiece of Queen-square, appre hended the prasesers in company, at 12 o'clock that day, near Old Pye-street ; asked Kaylock where he bad been ?•and be said he had just come from his mother's at Lambeth, and had been no where else ; asked , hins where he had met Macbride? he said he bad ju“ raet bias its Pye•stroet. Macbride said he had just left bis sister, svilo lived in Totbill-klcis, The morning was very wet ; the lnown Kaylock and the oth Mr. John Baker, of Jame pot was worth more than it ounces of silver plate carrier The prisoners declared t knowledge of the robbery ; except what they stated to t Some witnesses were calls Joseph Cooper was agai .
