With rrsp.•ct to the most celebrated of these Jew-
ish caubat►nt+, it can scarcely be admitted, thut
his example can be pleaded as possessing more cou-
rage thou the rest of his profession. For in order to
make it a lucrative business, he applied himself
with imlefatigable industry to the pugilistic art, and
possessing a great share of dexterity and agility, by
nature, the encounters in which be was engaged,
wen. seldom of a very serious kind ; and lie b4llllll
heroine au easy conqueror, without receiving any
v•ry material injury. He had the good sense to re-
while he was well; and the good fortune to be
waahleil by some of his friends with u lucrative
in which his skill might be ruefully
.10y1fil, either in self defence, or hi apprehend-
iiig Mill securing °them

This vicious practice is particularly encouraged
by the keepers of public-houses, who, more espe-
crily when the scene of action is in their neigh-
bourhood, derive no Mconsiderable ailvauta4e from
the concourse of people who assemble on ninth oyes-
shms. They do not venture, perhaps, openly to
,patronise what they secretly promote. The match
is itl the terms agreed upon, 11. e tine fired,
the sums determined, and the preliminary articles
ar.• settled in their houses; and it cannot he doubt-
ed that they have an interest in the result. The
trairsing is carried on io public-houses,. to the ud-

Ifauv convincing proof were wanting that thit peace
flee is not the e.nitof gen uioe bravery, we need only
observe how little encouragement it meets with
among those aim reserve themselves fur honourable
exertion iu the service of their country. Do .we
ever hear of soldiers or seamen, calmly and deli-
berately ineditatina the desinietion of one auother ?
Do we ever find them putter{ themselves in a
state of melioration for mouths, loforehimil, to obtain
ass ignoble triumph over a countrynum, a neigh-
bour, or is friend ? We do not deny. that soldiers;
soil seamen have the passions and feelino of other
mini; slid too often they ure betrayed iatu lusty
unpremeditated sets of violence and resentment ;
but how pardonable ore these when compered with
that systematical, 'sullen, revengeful dispositios,
which looks forward, either from a principle of vain
glory, or of covetousness, or, as in many instances
is the ease, with reneorous envy, to the hour which

I have only a few words more to offer to the con-
sideration of those person► in the imperil-sr rooks of
MY, who so debase theniselves its to esscounige this
hateful practice in the lowest indiviclusts. It surely
can afford them but little satisfaction to call such
multitudes away from their ureessary duties, to wit-
ness such scenes as can °illy tend to harden their
hearts, and brutalize their manna. If it be done
from a spirit of glutting. why twist that object he
preferred, which cannot but give the moat painful
wensatioa to every rightly reflecting mind ? Bar-
barous as are the diversions of the cockpit, or the
heating of a bull, of which some liberal Philanthro.
putts would by no means deprive their country-
men, surely the setting two ratiestual creatures toge-
ther, to maim and mutilate, and, !tethers, destroy
oxen other, can serer afford a nionseat's satisfac-
tion to a well-disposed mind. Bratty dour nobis
