, GREENWICH BOAT RACE.
w•
There as a famous rowing-match on Monday, between four
expert Watermen, who were distinguished by the Colours
Orange, Blue, Green, and Yellow. The first prize was a
very handsome wherry ; the second, five pounds. There were
goals at two miles distance from each other, the boati rowing
from one to the other, till the match was completed. The
contest commenced at 11 o'clock, and terminated about six in
the eyening. The courses were as follow :
No. 1. . '
No. 2. .
.No. 3.
Yellow Blue Yellow.
Green Yellow Blue.
Blue Green
Orange
The first course was to select the three best ; the second the
two best from the remaining three ; and in this course the
Orange was run foul of by a large collier, and was thus ren-
dered. incapable of continuing the contest. Blue -and Yellow
being the only ones now remaining, rowed vigorously fro L: one
goal to the other three times. Yellow . was first the whole
time, and on finally reaching. the prize-boat, the winner leaped
into it; and Blue arriving soon aver, Tug scoundus also en-
tered the boat, and shook hands.with his more fortunate oppo-
nent, amidst the applause and acclamations of the multitude.—
There was music on the water, and guns were continually fired,
which rendered the whole interesting and gratifying to tite!im-
mense crowds assembled on the occasion.

TO F'"*" C"*", ESQ.

BY JOHN TAY LOII, ESQ.

Dear C"", to gen'rous actions prone,.
You offer'd me a print, Well-known,
VANDYKE'S admir'd design;
Where BELISARIUS, poor and blind,
Reliev'd by Cottagers, we find,
With sympathy benign.

Lo !- where the mart:al Youth surveys
The Vet'ran, with a solemn gaze,
And mourns the turns of Fate,
Whence Heroes, all their,prowess o'er,
Alas ! May beg from door to door,
Howt_b'er they serv'd the State.

But not the IVarrior7s fate alone,
Patriots, who prop the state or throne,

In cold neglect decay ;
While those to Pride who basely cow'r,
The venal instruments of Pc-w'r,
Can rise to wealth and sway.

Another print you offe.r'd too,
Where EDWARD we triumphant view,
And Patriots doom'd to die,*
But where his mild benignant Q UEE
With suppliant grace, is kneeling seen,
To waken Mercy's sigh. • -

Her kind appeal the Monarch hears,
And, s,)ften'd by her streaming teas,

-Recals the stern decree :
Oh ! WOMAN, form'd with potent art
To south, subdue, command, the heart,
All, all, must yield to Thee !

Last, a much t alu'd print, indeed,
Yourself upon your fav'rite steed,
Skint to controul its flights ;
Ah ! had I but an equal spell
To manage Pegasus as well,
And reach Parnassian heights !

I ask'd not for these gifts, you knew,
They sprang from friendship's genuine glow,
Which all your life has shewn,
A. life that, from your earlier days,
Has still been mark'd with well-earn'd praise,
As Truth and Justice own.

And oh ! far distant be the day
When Fate shall call that life away,

Though joys await on high ;
For then Distress will lose a friend,
While Genius o'er your'grave shalt bend,
And heave a votive sigh.

* The Surrender of Cal3il.-

BOXIWG.

The plain of Moulsey-hurst, the turf of slaugh-
ter, where finishing heroes of the fist have so often disputed the
right of championship, was again the seat of attraction yester-
day, in the pitched battle for 50 sovereigns, between Cabbage,
from Bristol, the best of the light weights in the West, and
Parish, the waterman. Talent of all sorts was here assembled,
and the aribas felt quite at home. The battle commenced be.
fore one o'clock, and was soon decided by a stunning blow at
the start. Belcher and Harmer seconded Cabbage, and Tom
Owen and Josh. Hudson picked Parish up. Betting was 6to
4 on Parish, the heaviest man.

THE BATTLE.
Round I. Cabbage hit short, and was well parried, but he
made another _rush, and placed a right-handed blow upon his
adversary's eye, rather out of distance, and which- flushed it.
Parish retreated, but his man would not leave him, and he
floored liini by a heavy left-handed blow upon the throat. It
was one of those stultifying hits which sets an antagonht cloning.
The lips quivered, the eyes -had a convulsive roll, and it was
seemingly all up.-3. to lon Cabbage. .
2. Parish made play by bolting in, when he hit away at ran-
dom, and was hit again, and thrown.
3. it good.fighting round, and Parish made some fine parries,
and seemed to be recovering. Ile made a good stand in a rally,
and was then thrown.

4. Cabbage went.to his work with much gaiety, but he was
well parried, .and received a sezions injury on the arm by the
parry from Parish's elbow. Parish was again thrown.
6. In this round Parish was hit to sleep with the right hand,
and then thrown with great dexterity.
In the 6th and 7th he only stood up to be slaughtered, and a
very proper interference took place to avoid any chance of
slaughter. It-lasted six minutes only. • -
Parish never recovered the stunning hit in 'the first round,
and his head was kept in a dream in the subsequent ones. Cab-
bage, although a blinker, with one eye quite floored, is a heavy
hitter, and proved himself altogether too much of a man for his
adversary.

A second and very gallant' fight of an -hour took place be.
tween a Hampton man (John Holt) and the Pea-soup Garde:.
net.. The Hampton man won it, with some good receipts.
Pea-soup was over-weighted, but he fought with much gaiety,
and was the least punished of the two.

Mas. SARAH..BOND.—About twelve months
since, we announced "the death of this eccentric woman, at
her residence, Cambridge-heath, leaving great wealth, dd'
was to go -to -.King George the Fourth, if no relative could
be found to claim it. Since her death, vestry and parish clerks,
beadles, sextons, country schoolmasters, and all persons hold-
ing_ any official situations about cathedrals, churches, of.
chapels, have been employed in searching out her pedigree;
but all to no effect: The publicity the circumstance obtained
through the medium of the newspapers has caused some ludi-
crous scenes in the neighbourhood of her late residence, where
travellers have arrived from all parts-of the country to clairn
relationship. - Last week a man and his son, a youth about 16,
arrived from Sunderland,. from whence they had walked; he
said his name was Bond; he was sure she was his sister,
and • he would not quit London without the money ; how-
ever, upon an investigat-m, he could produce no other authority
than being of the same name; •he Was. therefore compelled to
retrace his steps almost pennyless. The week previous, a
decently dressed- elderly maiden female made her appear-
ance ; she had , just ' arrived outside the sta,ge from the en-
virons of' Carmarthen; her story was, that about fifty years
ago her sister left her, and had proceeded to London to seek.
her. fortune; • they had never corresponded, but, 'from the
name and description of the deceased, she had no doubt but she
was her sister, and that' the money belonged to her ; it had.
cost her -nearly all the cash she could raise to come from Wales,'
fully satisfied .with being amply repaid for her trouble. She met
with the same fate as the preceding.applicant— The next claim-
ant was a Jack-tar, who had just returned from the West Indies,
where he had been moored, he. said, 35 years • he left two
sisters behind him named Bond; one was remarkable for the
eccentricity of her manners, particularly her love for money ;
and he declared he had been an eye-witness to her frequently
making a meal off cat's-meat; .this bethought quite sufficient
proof of his relationship,rand insisted upon entering a criveat
against the claim of King George the Fourth ; but being con-.
vinced that his Majesty at present appeared to be the legal
claimant, he swore he would ”.go.and see his Royal Master, and
ax him if he had any objection to dividing the money between
them !" It is impossible to enumerate .the number of per-
sons that have put in,their claims from all quarters of, the world,
but the King's Proctor stands . first in the Prerogative Court,
and nothing has yet transpired to affect his right in behalf of
his Majesty. The hut where she died has been shut .up until
last week, when a bill was placed in the windows, that it was
to be let ; however, so anxious were some persons to get posses-
sion, that the.notice was taken down in 24 hours, no.doubt un-
der Zile impression that some
.hoards were yet undiscovered !

Lord KENNEDY has gained his bet (we believe for 1500g5.)
that he would ride 150 miles, walk ten miles, shoot forty brace
of-grouse, and walk ten miles back, all in twenty-four hours;
which he performed in twenty-one hours, and shot forty-nine
brace, being' ine brace more than his number, and in three
hours less time.—( Newcastle Chronicle.)
