'f lie parents of James Ward were of Irish extraction, and like many when, of their nation, they s.nigl:t a refetee, in England Inuit the oppression real poverty which weigh down their own unhappy country. l'a an Irishman, England appears the high road to riches and plenty—like IVhicitigton, he can almost believe the streets of London are paved with gold, and he comes over with an heroical determination to forsake for ever " pratees and butter milk," and play the very devil with the beef and porter. Nadia. niel %Yard commenced business as a butcher. la the parish of Rat e-litre ; but the plain. open-hearted conduct of an Irishman, in the midst of his countrymen—for Itateliffe is a famous rendezvous for Pseltaulers__proreet ill adapted to his success in business, and poor Ward was t bli;:ed to shut tip his *hap siml seek a maintenance Mr his family in the laborinna callit.g of a ballast-heaver.

Little Jews was early plseed under the care and tuition of a self-important pe t:wet:lga., whine rules of learning and discipline ill accorded with ! his wild and spirited dis, nea limn. Every moment Jein could pos sibly spare was devoted to athletic pursuits--boxing and wrestling were his favoririte pleasures ; his school-books were laid aside foe the more pleasing perusal of a fight or a wrestling-match, from which it was impossible to wean hint— ! " So hard it is to hide the sparks of mean I" And whey missed from his clans it was booked to a certainty that Jean could be found in the contiguous held. 'unclear:died by a herd of bays, experiencieg his pugilistic powers, with a pair of old smelting% wrapped round his manirt, in lieu of gloves, or con tending for t!:e tall with any boy who had the temerity to dispute his prowess in the art of wrestling. The fame he acquired among his con:pinions soon became general. and he was held in fear and admiraiion by those even who exceeded him in years and corporeal powers. At the age of IN he assisted his father in ballast-work,' and during the summer evenings. after • day of toilsome slavery, Jett' a1 , ..a7s fe:t a pleasing relaxation in the indulgeace of his fartimite sport., in which Oe continued to improve--a lore of sei.•isce, anti a re.--flar rivethoil of sparring and lighting, distin go iMetl his early efiltets, and gave evident indication, of his future mintnee, til a ;:.:trial matership of all his competitors gate him con:ictre.• for b.,:her flight..

'rho ease with which Ward parried the auacks of his antagonist, received the wannest plaudits, anti led to his match with Acton. The latter was a stone heavier :has our hero—taller and longer in the reach.

To those pugilists, who still scent inclined to remember and to censure J em's error, we would ask, in the liiti;zunge of the p.n.:— •• N hrtlier you have not soinelimc in your life }:rr'd in this point which now you censure hint ?" hnd the whole of the facts before us we eaa only observe that Ward was _ .• alms sinn'tt against than sinning !"

Bf A NSION-HOUSF. On Saturday, Ilentenant Hood Sullivan, of the navy, applied to the Lord Mayor to compel a *cannot who had escaped from the Tender lying in the river to return to his duty. The Lieutenant stated, that a person employed to obtain volunteers for his Ma rat?' service, brought the defendant on hoard a n d stat e d, that lie Ma rat agreed to go into tho service. The defendant there voluntarily underwent the usual examination, and had his name tittered, but immediately afterwarcla upon being sent ashore, accompanied by three or four men, for his clothe., le ran off. A cry, however, WAS rained after him and he was second. The LORD MAYOR asked whether molting had been done to inveigle the defendant into the ? The Lieutenant said, he was convinced that the engagement was . 1 quite voluntary. The Midshipman employed to engage seamen for his Majesty's service stated, that he tort the defendant and asked him, whether he was desirous of going into the King's service; that the de fendant replied in the affirmative, and slid not appear in the slightest degree reluctant ; that upon going on board the Tends he underwent examination most nnuhly, and consented to have Ins name entered. The LORD MAYOR—Are you sure that he required no persua sion ? Witness—Not the slightest.

ROUTIIROX.—A few days ago, a fashionable. looking young man who is in the cotuning-house of a respectable merchant in the neighbourhood of Wilk Office, was taken into cus tody by Plank, the Chief Officer, charged with committing some slight fraud upon his employer. Athile coming to the office with Plank, he was seen and judged to be in custody by a lady of Mr. Abrahams, the solicitor's family, who stood at the window, and who taking it into her heed that the young man bore a very strong resemblance to young Robinson, the apprentice of Mr. Abrahams, who lain Newgatc on various charges of felony, she communicated the circumstance to dlr. Abrahams, who immediately came to the office, and demanded of Plank to let hint see the young man, who ' was then in the lock-up room of the office. Plank assured Mr. Abrahams that the prisoner bore nine the slightest resemblance to his ap prentice , for the ioniser was very dark, and the latter hail a remarably fair complexion. Mr. Abraham., however, persisted in his wish to be sheen the prisoner, and Plank at length told him, that he did not feel hiu,self justified in thus exhibiting the young man uselessly to gratify any person ; but that If Mr. Abrahams would bring forward any, or all of the witnesses, who had seem young Robinson, they should also see this prisoner at his examine. tion. the next dey the prisoner was examined, but neither Mr. .%brabiens nee any of the witnesses. attended, and the milliner's minter, who was present, told the Magistrate that he did nut mean to press any charge against die young men, who was now on the point of going out to India, to 611 an areointment obtained for him there; and besides he bore a most excellent character, and this he knew to be his first offence. The prisoner was about to be dis charged, when Peelle requested. she )Ingistrete, by permission of the young man's master, to detain hint for a day, until he (Plank) should bring forward some of the witnesses against Robinson, as Mr. Abrahams did not do so, lest it should be supposed that he (Plank) had any improper motive in refusing to exhibit the young man to Mr. Abrahams, and particularly now, as be heard that the young man wen going out of the country. The Magistrate and the young mates mister immediately tecquiesced, and said it was a very reasonable request. The young man was therefore remanded for a few hours, during which Plank got together six of the witnesses aepinst Robinson, who instantly declared that there was not the slightest 'Made of likeness, and wondered how any one could for a moment think so. The young man was then discharged. I'NION-HALL.

BOW-STREET. On Saturday Air. Frinee treet, Hanover-square, surgeon-aurist to his Majesty, applied to the Magistrate toe his advice and assistance under the following curious circumstances:— In the year 181 . a young lady named Hannah Thatcher, who was born deed and dumb, was placed in his house by her father, in order that she might have the benefit of his professional attendance constantly. He paid very minute attention to her case, and having axcertuined that ben deafness proceeded from the convexity of the membrane. &c., which it was necessary to hearing should be con. cave, he succeeded in remedying this malformation to etfectually that she obtained her hearing pertectly, and was now gradually ac quiring the faculty of speech. Some time ago her tither died, and on his death-bed lie signed a paps expressive of his gratitude to Mr. Wiled, and appointing hum her sole guardian • tiff, though she had other relatives, they took no notice of her whatever until now; when, during Mr. Wright's temporary absence, they game to his house in a hackney.coach, and carried her off by force. The coach drew up to the dour, and the coachman said a lady inside it wished to speak to Miss Thatcher foe a moment; Mrs. Wright immediately went to the coach door with her young protege, to whom she was very much attached, and the persons made having inveigled Miss T. Into the coach, under the pretence of speaking to lin privately, the coach drove off' at full speed, dragging Mrs. Wright a considerable distance, in consequence of her having hold of the dour at the time. This conduct Mr. Wright considered as highly illegal, and he tberc.ore besought the Magistrate to egoist him in recovering her. He also hand ial to the Magistrate an en graved portrait of the young lady, and the paper signed by her dying father, in which Mr. Wright was appointed her guardian; and he added, that he had never received a angle sixpence, eit h er for her cure or for her boatel, &e. during the seven years she had now been in his house. The 31 agi strate(M r.

If Mr. Wright was legally the guardian of the young lady, be might apply to the Judges fur a writ of Habeas Corpus ; or, if be wished to take some immediate step, and had tei.'Jll to believe she was gat into improper tomtits, one of the officers might accompany him to the place where he supposed her to be concealed; " but (said his %Vat ship), I can give him no instructions to ; and whatever he does, he roust do at his own peril." ruder these restrictions Mr. Wright did not think proper to avail himself of the assistance of an Mien, but said he wouhi go hiswelf arid as* what lmemild mate dif it. When he returned. Sir H. Biro: tg was no tile Bench; and Mr. Wright said. the parties had told hint that they were authorised by Sir It icha-t1 to cake eh • tring lady away.
