The preceding epitaph relates to the unfortu-

his brother in a fit of jealousy, on account of an
orphan young woman, who was protected by their
father, and lived in his house.

place, learned the particulars, and made them the
ground-work of the story of his admirable Tragedy,
The Orphan.

side of his face is much disfigured, and he acknow-
ledges having been hit heavily on the body.
Turnet shook hands with him at the end
of the fight, and complimented his manhood. The
victor had his right hand in a sling yesterday,
his knuckles having been damaged. Setoggins
undisguisedly says, that. he was baffled by
Turner's length and manner of fighting (right
foot in advance), and it was impossible to
make a springing bit at the length he had to
place it. With this acknowledged superiority,
he has had enough of him, and will give any the
preference to beat .him. Randall. and Turner will
be watched to fight in the Spring.

There will be a new moon at a quarter past
four o'clock to-morrow afternoon, andin conse-

an extraordinary high tide may be eiipected on
the following day, which, according toy the calcu-
lations of the French astronomers, will' be 'as 1:13
to 0 : 73. the height of the lowest spring tide of
the present year. Its operation on the-toasts will
of course be more or less influenced by the powir
and direction of the winds, but in all-low situa-
tions it will be prudent to guard against its effects.

may be expected on the 9th of November,
