Me. MORFHT, THE BENOWEED CHEM PLATER:-
This gentlemen arrived in Loner a few days ego, from
Pair, nenteete for his Wive Mty, NOW Weiss, end Liver-
pool. On Tuesday week, he Oiled at the Landon Club,
Conshill, end in the evening at Herr Lowenthars new
Chess Club, St, James's-hall. A sat= wee hastily reeds
up for Wednesday, and came off et the Loudon Club,
Morphy contending blindfold against eight monster of
the club, eight games elmultaneondy. This mervellora
feat of genius be had before acoutaplished twice in Europe,
but the two eights of Ihrmiegham end Paris were both
very inferior to the eight of the London Club who played
spinet Morphy on the resent occeatar, and hie task was
proportionately irareneedfo difilculty. At eve o'clock p.m.
on Wednesday, the following eight players were at their
posts, ea champions for the club :—The president, Mr.
Moopediss ; Medley, booorary **merry; Messrs.
Mous, George Walker, Jansen, Mende, Alfred Jones, sad
Greenaway ; and Morphy, in • separate room, began Ms soli-
tary:task, by proolebnisg, through Herr Lowenthal, that be
opened with liege pawn two in =eh glum A crowd of
=Moos spectators and cher celebrities were present.
Lowenthal proclaimed the players' moves aloud, se made,
and Morphy instantly called out hie reply. Te every two
boards was appointed a secretary, to take down the mere.
After ale leek. o' ;my Mr. Alfred Jure. est Mr. Mande were
defeated ; while tithe remelting six, two, at Moat, had forced
drawn prase. At past midnight the play wee still proceed-
ing on three or four boards; and then, by comet,
theme last genes were &mired sa drawn, the costar
=Meg lasted over seven hours. Of the throe un-
decided games at the elere. Mr. Morphy considered bo had
the advantsge of Mr. Monettetten, but Messrs. Mous and
Greesawir bad the best of the play. The match °unclad=
by Morphy being declared to have won two games and
draws six. Mr. Morphy col:olden this the toughest match
be ever played of this des,ription. Throughout this long
sitting he never made one mistate : never proclaimed en Im-
possible move, end never forgot the situation of the humblest
pawn. It may be safely pronounced that no greater mental
teat was seer secompliabed by man. On Thursday last, the
atomism it the London Club entertained Mr. Murphy at
Manor, at Greenwich, the chair being occupied by their
t, A. Moegredien, Esq. It la probable that Mr.
