Well nay ye mourn the cruel fate, f.
Which disunites each social tie,
Attends the poor unfortunate, '
. And seals his wretched destiny ;
For such indeed hath hov'red round
The.dreary vale where ye hate been,
And.tho' ye were in spirit boutia:.
Thejealous Hydra 'steip'd betvieen I .*

But, faithful Pair ! the clouds fire fled
Which held such dark dominion,
The scene is bright'ntngover head,
And,' borne on LoVetwawifbpthion—.
Again shall kindred Souls
And now be saver'd never,
The green-ey'4l Elf has lost hl3 sight,
. And dos'd his reign for ever !

As sorrows pait can joys increase,
So floods of tears shall heighten yours,
Thrice blest with happiness and peace,
l'aur future path Is strewid with flow'rsl
The eyes° long suffusidmith woe,
At lengelt shall beam with sacred joy,
And Cliaott tits and ANNA now shall know
Domestic'Life without alloy !

TWENTY-EIGHT AI ILES' IN -TWO HOURS.
This match, as performed by Giles oc,Leatienhall-market,
at the trot in harness over Sundbury Common, some months ago,
was accomplished on Monday over seven miles of grounthin
the earnbrulge-road, by the horse 'rraveller;,driven by Mil-
lard, seven some weight. It was a renewal of the match for
200 sovereigns attempted on the same ground a short time
since, when the race was so near that the referee umpire decided
it should be a drawn match, with the option of the owners of
the horse to start him again within a gtven time. Upon this
occasion the horse was backed at even, and at five to four just
before starting. The first seven miles were done in 28 mi_
nutes and 59 seconds; the fourteen miles in two minutes under
the hour; the twenty-first in one hour, 28 minutes, and 10
seconds ; and the whole distance, of twenty-eight miles, in one
hour, 59 minutes, and four seconds. The horse performed the
match with much truth, making two breaks only in the dis-
tance.—A Gentleman of the name of Forrester undertook, for
So sovereigns to gallop, the seven miles in 19 minutes, which
lie performed with great ease, riding twelve stone, in half a
tinnutewithin time. Betting five to four against time.

ROWING 51A.TCFI FOR FORTY SOVEREIGNS.
On Tuesday evening, another trial of skill took place on the
Thames, in a contested match between two gentlemen named
Fearnsides.and Duke, who, for the above sum, undertook to
row against each other in watermen's wherries from Battersea..
bridge, through then centre arch of Putney, and back to Vaux.
hall-bridge, the first in to be the winner. These competitors
being experienced in managing the oar, a fine contest was an-
ticipated, and the admirers of aquatic sports present were nu-
therous. At six o'clock the starting galley appeared in the
centre of the river, followed by the competitors. A discussion
then ensued, and after the preliminary articles had been ar.
ranged and agreed to, the rowers took their stations under
the middle arch of Battersea-bridge, surrounded by the gal.
levs. At starting Mr. Duke took the lead, and maintained
it some distance,. , although hard pressed by his antagonist,
Mr. Fearnsides, who, in a short time, passed his rival anti
left him at a distance. At Putney-bridge Mr. Fearnsides
had passed through the centre arch, and was on his return
down again,. when he wasfould by his opponent, who at that
time had not reached his distance. Mr. F. however, soon ex-
tricated himself from Mr. D. and proceeded on his course to
Vauxhall Bridge, where he quickly arrived, followed by the
whole train of boats and the loud greetings of his friendtt.—
Mr. Duke, on finding that he had no chance of success, re-
signed the contest at Chelsea, and went on shore. Bets to. the
amount of about 2001. were won and lost on the match.

HEAT OF THE WEATHER.—Yesterday was one
of the hottest days which we have experienced
throughout the whole summer : the thermometer
in the shade, at, two o'clock, was as high as 83
degreeststages nn
; The horses in the different
g tern road suffered severely
ca, bnial:rhee nl‘tevite
from the intensity of the hest, and we understand
that three line cattle 'dropped down dead be-
tweets Maidenhead and London. A reaper, in a
field near Brentford, was struck by the heat of
the sun at one o'clock, and was carried home in
a state of delirium.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday JOHN DYER, a
Keeper in the Royal Menagerie in the Tower,
apparently in good health, suddenly fell down
and immediately expireil. lie was a young man
in the prime of life.

DEATH BY DROWNING.---Yesterday, between
seven and eight o'clock in the evening, as a fine
youth, named Joseph Anson, about 14 years of
age, was bathing along with several other boys„
near Battersea Bridge, the lad very incautiously
walked up to his chin in the water, and before he
could turn towards the shore, or extricate himself
from his perilous situation, he was carried away
by the current, and unfortunately drowned in
sight of his companions, who could render him no
assistance. The deceased was the only son of
opulent parents, residing at Kennington.
Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, ns
two young men of the names of Gould and
Thomas, were bathing in the New River, near

Hopping-lane, Islington, a tall fellow whom they
observed prowling about the spot with a bag on
his shoulders, on their arrival at the hanks
of the
river, snatched up their coats, waistcoats, apd
shirts, as soon as they had plunged into the iv6ttor,
and starting oil with them in his bag across the
fields towards the Lower-road, got clear dr.
