And nft, 'tis said, at ev'ning hour, To Fancy'S eye bright forms appear, To glide beneath the leafy bow's . , While music steals on Fancy'scar : The Muses haunt their favirite tree; They lov'd the Bard who planted thee. But all theUises' tender care Cannot prolong the final date ; Rude time will strip thy branthes bare, And thou must feel the stroke of law : E'en thou, the Muses' tav'rite tree, Must fall like hurt who planted thee.* But still the Muse will hovernear— And planted there by hands unseen, Another willow will appear, Of pensive form, upon the green ; To ace the spot, when thou, no more, Shalt over-Arch the hallowed shore G. * The event, here foretold, has since happened, and the tree is no more.

SPO RT IN C.---MNWARDEIS hounds, in Northam p tonshire, afforded one of the best day's sports al. most ever remembered, on Monday sennight.— They found a fox at Marston-Wood (between Wel. ford and Harborough), at half past ten o'clock, and went away immediately, as hard as hounds could, run, over Sibbertofr, Hothorpe, Theddingworth, Laughton, Lubenham, and Foxton, where he was headed by some people coursing, to Gumley ; owing to which the hounds slackened their pace a little ; but on settling to their scent about half a mile from Gumley.house, :they gOt 'vie'w again, and ran as hard as ever over Saddington, Smeaton, Kibworth, Fleekney, Wistow, Newton.Harcuurt, Glenn, Oadby, Stoughton, Great Stretton, Little Stretton, Norton, and to Galby, from whence they slackened their pare a little Over Frisby to Billesdon, and under the cover side of Billesdon.Coplow ; here they came to cold hunting for near an hour, over Cold Newton, Wellington, and Tilt on.on.the.Hill, where they hunted up to him in a double hedge,row ; he way hallooed back out of the hedge, from whence they - ran very short for about 'a quarter of an hour (during which they never broke view fa more than a minute at a time), and killed him, after a chace of about four hours and a quarter, in thecoutse of which they ran through twenty.six paiShes, and never were near a cover, except in passing Billesdon.Coplow. The distance from Mars. ton Wood to the farthest point the hounds ran to, is coMputed by those who know the country well, at 27 miles ; and the circle they made, from M to miles. The hounds were left that night at Lord SIMON'S kennel, at Bowden. kE§§iolve.rlAi4. Westbi , Gok, a Constable er " -• .Calliorough beltinging - to the-Parish of Sr. Panteas, Richard and . ohn Wicks, were indifted for a violent assault committed updit tholifas Whittingbam. Mr. Whittinghatii stSted, that he was partner with Mr. Swainsoni of rrithstreet, and 11.11 beeo dining with hini on the t 7th ol; November last : He drank rather freely, and did not come away till i r o'clock at nigHt.• He Was proceeding to his house at Xdotish, town; btit tkfore he got home . , he was Most vio. lently abused -and beaterr. He had not yet reco. vered from the bruises he received, and he did not know that he ever shotild be as well again, as he had, been before this event: He confessed hidiself to hive been so much intoxicated at the time; thit he had' nd recolleaion of the parties whd had atiosed . hith, nor could he tell how the affair Originated, or what it was that had provoked tit intiticed the par ties to strike hisp. Two women; a Mother and daughtet, residing at Kentiih Town, swore, that about twelve o'clock on the night in question, as they were passing along near a publicA t ouse,_ called the Nag's Head, . they saw the Defendants standing about a man who was lying on the ground, and Westbrook was. beat ing him violently With a stick ; he gave him several Wows, and the women thought he intended to murder the `man. Seeing . a Gentleman pass at the time,' they ran to him, and begged that he would come to save the man's life ‘ The Gentleman at first wished to &cline interfering, and See Med desirous to get away from the quarrel ; bOthe was sit last prevailed on to come up. WeStbrook then said, he was Ctinsiable, and insisted on taking the . man he had been, beating to the Watch.house. The women afterWardS saw Mr. Whittingham conduded to his . house, and the remainder of their evidence exaffly . coincided with that given by the Gentleman whom they prevailed on to interfeie on the occasion. Mr. Lawlor said, he Was a Teacher of the French language, that he resided at Kentish.town; and was. going home on the night of the 17th of November. It was about twelve o'clock when he reached Kentish town ; at that time he heard a violent noise, as if some people were fighting ; one man was lying on the ground,while.anOther was striking him violently, and he distindlY heard six blows, appearing by the sound as if given by a stick upon awin's skull. He re. colleded that the two women who gave their evidence came up to him, and begged of him to go and save a may,, from being murdered. For some time he wished to decline interfering, least lie might sustain some in jury, in what he thought a drunken quarrel. How. ever, when became up, he found the person who had ,been so cruelly treated, was Mr. Whittingham, his neighbour and particular acquaintance. He desired Westbrook instantly to desist, said he knew who the Gentleman was, and would convey him to his house. Westbrook said he was a constable, that the other was his prisoner ; and he' insisted tin taking him to the Watch-house The Witniss, on the other hand, insisted on taking him home, he being 'in such a dangerous state as to require the immediate care of his family. In the mean time, ,he hr:ld Mr. Whittinghittny who was .then in a state of insensi. bility, in his arms, and while in that situation, Westbrook again lifted up his stick, and gave him several severe blows, so as to knock him down upon the ground again ; and he continued to persist in his determination to carry him to the Watch-house ; until Mr. Lawlor told him he would give him seven shillings if he would Sufrer him to'be conveyed to his own housC, and assist in carrying him thither. — On this offer being made, Westbrook accepted it, and Mr. Whittingham was taken home, in such a dread ful state, that the Witness thotight he never 'could recover. Westbrook and the two other Defendants entered the house, and demanded the seven .shillings, hut Mr. Lawlor desired the scoundrels to go about their business, and told them, so far from being en titled• to any reward, they should he severely pu. nished for their barbarity. Hall and Wicks were present Withs,Catkook t aiding and, assisting while he was beating Mr. Whittingham ; who, during the following day, had a hardly recovered his senses. . . The manner in which the three Defendants an swered the abci've charge, was by preferring what is called a cross.inditiment, by whieh they in their turn charged Mr, Whittingtiam with having first made an assault upon Westbrook ; and for that pur pose they were allowed to give their evidence. In some circumstances they differed in their story ; hut they allegreed in such a statement, as convinced the Ctiurt Mit they had committed gross perjury. /ffritlrook's account was, that, on the night in question, he had been standing at his own dour, near the upper end of Tottenham-tuna-toad, in company with the, other Defendants, when Mi. Whitting.. ham came up quite drunk, with a stick in his hand, and cried out—"' what business have you here you thieves what are you tell me who you are, or I will shoot you with a gun." Tie then seized West, brook' by the collar, and on being informed he was e Peace Officer, he said, " d-----n your office." Hall desired he might be taken to the watch.house, on which Whittingham cried, « d--;L—en yoti, watch-house you," and 'at the same time made a, blow at him with his stick. Westbrook thenhev ing called on the two other Defendants, to aid and assist him in the King's name, had Mr. Whiffing.. ham conveyed to the watch.house, bet when he got there, he said he was a Gentlemau, that he lived at Highgate, had three dihrent houses, and promised to maka the 'Witness a proper recompense the fut. lowing day, If he would conduct him home. Wesr. brook, in hopes of a rewar& agreed to do so, and, together with the other Defendants, walked with him to Kentish Town. When they itr.rived there, the Witness wantetithe e'eople at the Nag' s. Head to let him in, in Order that he might see who the person was that he was conduding. White l ie we „ speaking to the Master of the house, Whittinghem gave \V icks, who had the care of him, ii he slio , v v e (iu ti li t i i one side, and coming up to Witness, said, break every bone in hieskin.• The Witness in the struggle fell down, and his finger was very. much cut. Whittingham then ran ; Westbrook jitirhued and threatened to knock him down, if he did not stop ; he overtook and struck him 'twice, once on the arm,' and the second time on the heed. He then fell down, and Mr. Lawlor came up. Westbrook po sitively swore he did nor strike him after Mr. Lew.. lot came up, and in Olio declaration he was joined 0. „, 1 ‘: br the tit° (Wei- nefentlantS: , filen wire. r lift. tingham.got tb.his own se, he.
