POETRY.

REM 814 E.
.0 ! thou, whose eloquence sublime,
New beauties gave to SHAKSPEARE'II rhyme;
Thy magic powers, how can 1
Describe without a tear, a sigh—.
Thy scenes of honour—pathos too,
Could hearts of iron mould subdue.
Oh, KrsinvE ! truth must say, with pain,
" We shall not see thy like'again."
Weep, Muses ! Science, droop thy head,
The model of perfection's dead;
Long on his praise shall rapture dwell,
" Thou last of Rostaxs," fare thee well !

STEEPLE" CHACE.

A match between John 3lytton, Esq. of lialston, and the
lion. C. Trevor, which has excited onsitlerable interest, took
place on Saturday. It was a Steeple Chace, from Prsdoc (near
the scat of the lion. T. Kenyon), to a place appointed near
Nesselifre, a distance of four miles, where a flag was erected
Mr. M. rode his horse Beppu ; the 1-lon. C. 'l'. was mounted
upon his mare Lady Jana. They started a quarter before 12.
Mr. Trevor, it is saul, distanced Mr. Alytton four fields, and
accomplished the arduous undertaking, over a heavy and diffi-
cult country, in a quarter of an hour. Mr. Mytton finding he
was not a match for his rival, who had punned a lane, delibe-
rately turned his horse, and. followed the hounds. In Steeple-
Racing the riders are allowed to go only 100 yard* along a
lane;.l3ut on measuring this ground, it was found that Mr. T.
had rode 10b yards; consequently the wager was not won, and
the stakes are made good for to-morrow. Mr. T.'s mare, we
are told, was so much distressed,. as to snake nearly Heven
nuts*. at the last fence. Mr. tide* 14. smack; Mr. T. tea
stone. There were about 200 spectators, chiefly from °sweaty.
