• Tx-rn.toaraxAnv.SaY6fra.::LlTheroreign Jour-
nalss lately mentioned that a Frenchman bad put
• an end to his existence
..byjumping into the
.
crater of Mount Vesuvius. As there is no ...-. •
stance of the kind upon record since the days of
EMPIDOCLES, we are enabled, by the following ex-
- tract of a letter from a Gentleman of Bristol, now
- on the Continent, to confirm the statement of
the Foreign Journals .11A*e now to recount
a most tragical event. On the 10th of Jan. 1
Visited Vesuvius, in company with a M. G.turc-
- nET, my companion also in my voyage from Mar-
seilles. There was nothing-remarkable in his
manner, except that on our return to the llermit-
age he took up a pen-and. effaced his name which
he had previously written in the Hermit's book.
. We agreed to revisit the mountain, and'on the
following Thursday he called on me for that
purpose; but having found the. former visit pre-
. judicial to my health, I excused myself, and he
• left me, seeming rather disappointed. On read-
, -mg the awful catastrophe on the following week,
• in the public prints,l visited t hellermit,and learned
the following particulars:--He came to the Hermit-
- age on the Sunday, where he slept, after passing the
whole day on the mountain. On. Monday he em-
ployed himself in collecting pieces of lava ; on
, • • . Tuesday, after telling the Hermit he must go
. • once more to see the source of the lava, he as-
cended . the mountain, accomfmnied by his guide.
He had no sooner reached the crater, than he gavie
• his watch and hat to the mut& and a picce.of
• mo-
ney, desiring him to impress the lava ; a common
practice, but probably done to divert his attention.
Ile then enveloped himself .in his tnantle, and
• plunged into the burning crater, Whence he was
• immediately thrown out, .and
.presented a most
horrid spectacle, all in flames.' The guide saw
• Aliam-elese•Alding. tlae river of fire till. he could See
him no more! He. has left a memorandum in tin:
book, exonerating the guide from all suspicion of
• ..
guilt ; and stating it to be his voluntary. act, he
• having been always unfortunate in life."

' The late Countess Dowager CON'irottam has

POETRY.

A SKETCH' OF THE TIMES'.

Against a virtuous Opposition,
Tho' loyal, would not petition ;
No—from my I venerate
Those guardian sages of, the Stat;
Who On would hold their dauntless course;
Nor tricked by fraud, nor awed by force;
Ii new abuses dare appear,
Would firmly cry—" no entrance here."'
• By gentle iikanS; and hot by storm,
Who Would each old abuse reform ;
And with an equal ardour spring
chebk the Commons, Lords, or King,
If either shOuld require a curb, *
Or that just equipoise disturb,
That aptitude of means and ends,
On which the good of all depends ;
No Tyrant, scorning law' and right ;
No Nobles, waging civil fight ; •
No rabble spreading hai'vc round . .
Where such are watching dare be found ;
For, heeding not men's praise or blame.
Their Country's gOod would be their aim.
Who would not reverence such a' band 1 •
'But have we such in this pur land ?.
Alas ! we have the black reverse ;
What might be blesSing made a curse—
A senselesS, factious OppoSineti;
Fomenting discord and Sedition
Who would alike, to gain their ends,
Make sacrifice of foes and friends;
Say black is white, and spite of surgeon,
Swear 'Mother COLE is vestal virgin. •
Tho' never were such foul-mouth'd elves,
They are most sensitive themselves ; -
And tho' the lash none merit more,
Yet, when they feel it, loud they roar,
As hog for slaughter laid on bench,
Or Billingsgate's best gifted wench.
Still, with their leave, I must intrude,
.And point the course they've long pursued.

They raised the factious hue and cry,
And sent forth bare-fac'd lie on lie,
In Journal, Pamphlet, and Review,
With many a pictur4d falsehood too,
Sparing nor lungs, nor time, nor ink,
To gull, and make the people think
That taxes, poor's rates, ruin'd trade,
Lost manufactures, Arts decay'd ;
:,Streets, public buildings, all in ruins,
Bridges broke down, mobs, evil-doing,
With s tarvings, hangings, robberies, forgeries,
Corruptions, thievings, beggaries, perjuries,
The rich man's pride, the poor man's groan,
Must all on Ministers be thrown ;
They grind the people, break the laws,
Nay, of diseases are the cause,
Nor can we hope, till they are out,
To cure the gravel, stone, or gout»

Still, in despite of this loud din,
The firm-fixed Ministers kept in,
.16 „
Their jealous rivals join'd the shout
Loud thunder'd from the rabble rout,
Who, rotted by evil-minded men; -
Caine forth from every. sculking den,
The scum of country and of town,
To pull the Constitution doWn.
AWhile the lawlesi rebel set •
In countlesi crowds: triumphant met,
Seditious banners borne along,
Seditious words on every tongue,
Till to their post our guardians flew,
And stronger law-checks round. them threw.
Thus stopped (our land they did not suit
The Radicals could not take roo4--
Thus stopped; the factioushid their faces,
Yet pour 'd from all their lurking places,
As prelude to some future crash,
Their treasons and blaspheming trash.
In vain—at last, in desperation,
They would have tried assassination ; - •
But ere they wrought their plots of hell,
On their own heads destruction fell.

The Manchester-loud outcry quell'd, -
In bonds blaspheming miscreants held,
We might have hop'd times more serene,
When to our shores,retura'd the Queen-- .
('Tis sad to think that such a name
Should tinge a loyal cheek with shame)--
She came, with discord in her train,
And mark'd with•many a blackening stain,
Yet acclamations rent the air,
And thousands brerith'd an ardent prayer
She might the hOrrid chargee, disprove,
And justly claim the people's love.
Has this been done,? ..I need not tell
The talc again—all laic,* it Well :
But to the Queen's associates, •
Mobs, Radicals, Whig-reprobates,
(I wil not call them Whigs-4hat name .
To high regard had once a claim);
To them who did not sthnd-aloOf •
To wait the issue and the, proof,
Proofs matter'd not—their hopes were built
Alike on innocence or guilt :
Those aimed to lay the Monarch low.;
These at their rivals' overthrow.:
Thro' the throng streets, with front ofbrass,
They made then-Royal Puppet pass ; •
Processions, mobs, illuminations,
Addresses, shouts .congratulations,
Were all quick piny'd off—thus concealing
What was the real' public feeling;
And, not to let the pbrenzy cool,.
They bade their everready tool
In her replies disseminate,
Maxims alarming to the State—
Thus making her a:guilty thing
To Husband, Country, and her King.
Yet tho'• from puniSlimtntrexempt ; •
Alas ! Does she escape contempt ?
No—vain the cant. of "-unsunned snow,"
Vain bouncing. Brougham's theatric glow--
No broom can sweep such dirt aside,
No snow such deep-grained blackness hide..'

Conspiracies, Corruptions,. Spies, . • •
And all the Milan list of lies, -
Dismissals, censures,- gone and past,
We now may hope some rest at last.
Some restwhy, yes, my Worthy friend !
'Tis time, indeed, your prate should end !
Well—Well—pray cease your pshaws and pishcs,
I'll end it with a list of wishes. - • . •
May Ministers still merit praise !
May their opponents mend their wAys !
May all our burdens quick decrease,
And every jarring discord cease !
May parties end ! May Whi?. and Tory
Join hand and heart for England's glory ! . •
May subjects folloW their vocations,
All happy in their Several stations !
The rich humane—the poor content, •
May goodness flourish—g-uilt repent !
Not sweep with Brougham—nor patch with Wood,
But hide past ill by future good !.
So all—not ur,fred.bY power, but worth; •

BOXING
DE't IVERIf D-A.VID HUDSON. AND ,OREE YES.
TE4DAV: F.Q.11, A TAKE. OF FIFTY (WINE:AS.

This match took place at one o'clotik, at Roselane; in
parish of Dagenham, on Epping Forest. OF their .I%eriiir-
mances little is necessary to be states.. .
The ring was fin. formed of a 'different order of beings to the
fights on any other roads; Instead of the lordly barouche, the
BermondSey and alongshore DENI4ETS were the neatest turns
out, and the pedestrians were ;chiefly from the Dock-yards and
vessels in the River, who, intenniiKed with the well-dressed
.cONVEYANCERS, formed a grotesque appearance. Oliver
and Josh. Hudson went into the ring with Hudson, and Ran-
dal and Martin seconded Green.—l34ting 6 to 4 on Hudson.
• ROUNDS. • .
1. It was ten minutes before eithr made an attempt to strike,
each alternately making feints to get the right hand into action ;
at length they turned loose on a sudden, and eichanged slight
hits, both went down, Green undermost:, - •
2. Tedious sparring, after which Hudson hit short, and a
rally followed, but the impetuosity of `the men was too great to
place their intended hits. Green bled- slightly at the ear, and
in a close both went down, Green again under. -
3. Thfs Was a smart round'," and upon much equality; Green
placed a right-handed blow upon his adi,ersary's . neck, and he
was returned upon the head. In a close Green was uppermost
in the fall. . . . •
4. ',Green made the play; and a brisk rally followed, rather in
his favour. In the close' Hudson was thrown with a cut lip.
This round shewed Hudson 010)61 fighter ; he parried his
adversary's right hand with 'great fatill, and returned heavily
with his right, which set his adversary Snorting like a frightened
horse. Green shook off the effects of the blow, and turned to
like a game 'one 'many blows 'were -exchanged., decidedly in
udson's favour:Who seemed to have got at his
.adversary's me-
thod of fighting: Green went down from the effects of a blow,
hittit was not a clean knOck_down--4 to 2 on Hudson.
6 and 7 were short rounds, and but 9ittle hitting, a 8 both Were
full of the PIPER.
B. A smart hitting roundi botlitled freely frOm the effects of
•
a rally. , Green was. throWn., - •
9: Hudson had the bek of this, which was a ahort fighting
round ; both placed their right-handed hits ; Hudson's was evt-
dently the heaviest. Both down.
...AO. Hudson was much.distressed fbr wind ; Green unmuzzled
at him in bull dog fashion, and had the best of a rallfing round.
Hudson was thrown.
11. Green maintained his superiority,i but it kept him at his,
full speed ; and Ilud.son, althotigh he had the worst of it,
made some excellent parries. Both were grassed in the
struggle.
12.- A good round was fought, and both dropt their claret
with much jollity. Several blows -"were exchanged, and both
were down.

13. Like a horse which Fitirts to- run a four-mile at speed,
Green's fastness in the 10th and 1 Ith rounds took all the speed
out of him. He made a good stand in this round, and had
none the worst .of it ; but he was of no use after the next
round.

11. This was a gay and busy round, and both rallied them-
selves to a stand still. Hudson hiid the best of the round, but
he fell frtim weakness, and 10 to 1 was refused. It was Holy-
well-street to an old clothes bag.
Green stood up six other rounds, but it was only to be hit or
pushed down ; and in these four rounds Hudson's right hand
told heavily upon the head.—The fight lasted 40 minutes.
