BVRIAL BEFORE DEATH'.

TRANSLATID FROM TILE SPAFISU.—In the year
74 two cases of premature burial occurred :

the one happened in the city of Florence, an,
the other iu Oviedo. The first case was that o,
a man who was interred in the vault of a church
belonging to a nunnery. In the course of the
night—the body having been buried the same
morning—several of the nuns heard a voice cry.
iug, as if in deep distress, from the chancel ; but
they being seised with fear, flew from the spot,
supposing it was owing to some supernatural in-
fluence, and left the poor wretch to perish. The
following morning some persons who possessed
more courage than the nuns, having heard of the
shrieks, went and broke open the tomb, in which
they found the man then indeed dead, but it was
quite evident that he had accelerated his death
after being interred, for his hands were greatly
lacerated and swollen, and his head was much
bruised by his endeavours to liberate himself.—
The second case is not very dissimilar. In
Oviedo, a boy having fallen from a high build.
ing, was supposed to have been killed by the
fall, and was accordingly buried. On the day sub-
sequent to his interment, the grave was opened
in consequence of some noise being accidentally
heard by a person ,who was passing, and it was
manifest, from the appearance his body presented,
that he had died after being put into the ground.
What rendered the friends of the boy more inex-
cusable in thus hastening his burial was, that his
countenance had not undergone any alteration ;
but he looked as blooming and healthful as he
did before the accident.

Loan 13YROIC---..CAPTAIN STACPOOLE.--A
correspondent, in allusion to the anecdote which we copied last
week from the " Conversations of Loan liritoN," respecting
the duel between Captain STAVPOOLE and Lieut. Ccci r., re-
quests us to state from authority, that Captain S. was too well
known, as a most honourable and gallant officer, for so un-
worthy an assertion to affect his memory in those quarters where
his conduct in his profession could be best appreciated, to re-
quire vindication ; but it is not fit that such a man should so
falsely :be held up to: the probably too numerous readers of
whatever is given Ludic public with the name of Lord Brawl
attached to it, as a man capable of harbouring for 3 years a re-
vengeful feeling—as one who had every wish to kill his anta-
gonist. The fact was simply, that 3 years previous to the
lamented meeting, Lieut. Cecil hail, as he declared, in joke,
and without intending the slightest imputation, called in ques-
tion some assertion of Capt. Staepoole, which having been re-
peated to him by one of his officers, upon their happen-
inni, to arrive in the same port, in Jamaica, Capt. Staepoole re-
quired
an apology for the words imputed to Mr. Cecil, which
being refused, the parties met the next morninff; bat so far
front enmity being entertained on either side, Capt. Staepoole
had declared that he did not intend to injure him, and the de-
plorable event was lamented by AIL Cecil as long as he lived.

CHARLEIV X.—A private letter from Paris,
dated the 4th inst. gives the following anecdote
of this Monarch, whose popularity is continually
increasing : 66 Yesterday the Museum was
opened to the public ; every room was crowded
with company. About noon, to the great surprise
and pleasure of the visitors, his Majesty Charles
X. appeared unexpectedly among them, ac-
companied only by M. Damas and a few
of his courtiers. The King was received
by M. Corbiere, who turd been informed
only a few hours before of this intended
visit. The Minister expressed his regret
that none of the artists were present. His Ma-
jesty replied, with his accustomed amenity,—
" This is an impromptu, but I shall soon pay
you a formal visit, when I hope to meet the artists
and express to them my sense of their merits."--
The burst of enthusiasm was truly affecting ;
many ladies wept in the excess of their joy.—
" Vive lo Rol !" Vivent les Bourbons !"
Viva Charles X.!" echoed along the roof of the
galleries.

POETRY.

SONG.

Oh, not when other eyes may read
My heart upon my cheek—
Oh, not when other ears can hear,
Dare I of Love to speak :
But when the stars rise from the see,
Oh, then I think of thee, my Love !
Oh, then I think of thee.

When, o'er the olives of the dell,
The silent moonlight falls;
And, upon the rose, the dem
Bangs scented corona's,
And buds, close on the chesnut tree—
Oh, then I think of thee, dear Love !
Oh, then I think of thee.

BOXING.—FATAL MATCH.
After the grand fight on Tuesday, a second battle took place
for a subscription purse, with an addition of 51. by a Noble
Lord. The combatants were Ned Brown (commonly called the
Sprig of Myrtle), a little wight of about 8 stone, and under
5 feet in height, and Harry Scott, a Windsor youth, of more
than 10 atone weight, and full 6 feet 8 inches in height, long
legged and long armed. On stripping, the inequality appeared
to be monstrous, and the little one received the pity of many ;
but Brown observed " Never mind, I'll win if I can, and I
know if I can get at him he will remember it." GipseyCooper
and Carry' went in with Brown, and Weston and Callis with
Scott.

1. Brown went up to his man quite game ; Scott smiled ;
but a body blow from the little one put his risible muscles out
of play, and a second hit sent him to the ground. The only
compliment Brown received was a alight tap on the face.
2. Brown again rushed In to his man, gave and received ;
both found they had 'Work to do; Brown to exercise his
science against the length and strength of Scott. t 1 close took
place, and Brown was thrown heavily.
3. It was quite evident that Brown could only win by wait-
ng for his man, which system he adopted. Scott put in a
facer, and another on the left eye, which left its marls; a close
followed, and Brown was again thrown.
4. A short round of little interest.

.. Ned came up cool, waited and put in one, and then ano-
ther, and then a third, which were like blows from Vulcan
himself : the last sent Scott down, and his left eye was
blinking.
6. Ned had the best of it, and Stott slipped down.
7. Scott was evidently distressed, and piping right merrily;
he came up all abroad, and in a bad position. Both cautious,
some few blows were exchanged, one of which told on Brown's
body. it close followed; Brown got away, and sent Scott
dawn with a right-hander. A similar system continued to the
10th round ; Brown all through having the best of the fighting,
but sufft ring frotu the heavy throws of his adversary : in one he
fell on the side of his head with such force, that had the ground
been hard, in all probability his brain-pan would have been
fractured.
19. Scott came up blowing, Brown went in steady, put a
rattling right-hander on the nob, which sent Scott down corn-
pletely stupid. Time was called for the twentieth round, but
Scott in attempting to come fell down in a senseless state. He
was instanly carried off' the field, and died shortly after.--ACoroner's Inquest was to be held on the body this morning.
When Turner was taken from the ground to his quarters at
the George Inn, Coinbrook, it was found that one of the bones
' of the left hand was broken, and one end of the fracture nearly
protruded through the skin. A surgeon in the town was sent
for, and the fracture speedily reduced. Ned thinks it hap-
pened about the middle of the light, in stopping one of Inglis's
tremendous right-handed blows, which he caught on the point
of the knuckles of the middle linger. With this exception, he
has scarcely a hurt of any consequence, and certainly not a
scratch. Sonic of Ned's friends were remarking that Inglis's
blows were light. Don't tell me that," said Ned, felt
them, and know that they were extremely heavy."

SPA It II NG.
The Fives-court was very well attended yesterday for Aby
Belasco.
Ned Turner made his appearance, and with the exception of
his right arm in a sling, he skewed but little of warfare. He
injured one of his right-handed knuckles in the fifth round, but
not to spoil his hitting. All the blows he feels are about the
side of the head. Peace Inglis did not shew, and of course he
is not well enough.
Lennon and Gaduee commenced proceedings in a brisk bout,
not regarding face-spoiling.
Jones the sailor wapped Young Josh, as he is called, to all
parts of the stage.
Neale, the Streatham youth, and Harry Holt, made the best
show oft' of the day. Strength served Neale much against quick
raps, and he improves in action as well as strength. tinder
20 years of age, an amateur thought the Championship was
straight before him.

Israel
Belasco showed off fine science upon Saunders.
Gipsy Cooper did as he liked with Cavanagh, and floored him.
Aby Belasco and Tom Oliver wound up the sports in a very
goal set-to ; but Aby was too quick for his opponent, who
trains off.

Trr> BAT.—A curious circumstance, connected
with the natural history of this little animal, was some time
ago noticed in Linlithgow. A worthy burgher, with provident
foresight, bad laid in a fine double Ulos'ter cheese against the
next inlying, and, for safety, put the kebbuck to win upon a
shelf, in a remote corner of the house. It is well known
that many hundreds of bats were dislodged from their
hybernating recesses. when the old church of Linlithgow
was lately. repaired, but little was it Imagined that many of
them changed to such a different abode. When the cheese
was taken down, it seemed all sound enough, except that a
small hole appeared in one side, but the first cut discovered
that it was entirely hallowed out, and that an immense
number of bats, in a dormant state, were quietly iu possession
of the interior.
