BOXING.

,ftrhnson, the Gosport black, and Joel Harris, the Birmingham
man, or Coleshill blacksmith. This battle, which was hastily
uctcked up for a stake of ten sovereigns a-side, and a purse of
fifteee, took place on Wednesday, on Caxton Heath, betweeu
Vettlehed and Amersham. Johnson, a latehmport from Ame-
rica, a 13 stone athletic man, had fought and won twice, and
was sweet upon himself. The smith was a noted leveller, who
would take plenty of waierieg without denial, and the champion
of his cask.. P. Oliver seconded the Black, and the Bath Tin-
man handfed Harris.
At setting to much shyness was observed, but the smith at
length made play by a furious resh--both missed their aim, and
Birds was thrown.
• t. The' Black met his adversary on the breast instead of the
head, as he was rushing, which sent him to the extremity of the
tiventy-foirr feet ring before he recovered hhnself. The Black
foflowed, just a- I larris had &covered his Standing, and he was
floored by i hoe/eller, which made him grunt like a working
pavior.
3. This was a workmanlike round. Harris in high pluck
unmuzzletf, and turned to in bulldog form ; but being ten,
pounds under his adversary's weight, he had rather the worst of
a give and take rally of five minutes. The clarat flew merrily;
partizans of each were on. their mettle, as to the result of the
round, which would prove half the battle. After the five mi-
t**, rally, tire men separated, each proving novices at the
weaving queen. i.iping for about two minutes was the order
qf nature, and to it they went again, and distorted features in
514 up order. Strength threw the smith, and closed a manly
fikliting round.
Minn ether rounds were fought, and gay ones too, but the
Was had the best all through, from superior strength. Harris
tnrned'tbe battle in his favour for a time in the tenth round, but
1k tegintstary. He was thrown a heavy cross buttock at the
end pf it, ituouiii to knock his wind out. In the twelfth round
Jauicrir ljad bbp444 his adversary, and won the fight.

• WILD DUCKS.
These birds have had a desperate and fatal enemy io two me
from Lincolnshire. They haire a boat, and a sort of raft, w.hipli
they float along the margins of rivers, or lakes latt by the tide.
On this raft.is a very larze gym, moving on a pivot, which will
bear a charge of from Ilb. to talbs. of duck shot. They follow
the flight of the ducks, and, as the aquatic sportsman is acerrAll
to be seen, he Is suffered to, approach within a short disteepe o
them. The npirdergus instrument is then pointed, and asmapr

This is a large a-umber for the urbood. of. Fin sthwaite: It'
was unkenntlied, or started, iFoihatever term Mart-hunters
may use, in• a small coppice 'wood. 'The Matt than took the
shortest road ortecthe crags and through the bushes. Merry and
terrible were the tumbles both of men and clogs ; but as their
bodies fell their spirits rose, and &IF punste# the little iiimal '
with increased vigour. It banterer took shelter in one of the
most rugged steeps of Yewbarrow, where it for a while eluded
its pursuers Not to be driven from illeirpurpose, they suc-
ceeded in smoking out the Man, and the than continued with
additional zeal. The ground, however, was so rough, that oc-
casional tumbles of several yards became things of course. The
Mart again rook shelter in the ruins of an old wall, where he
was cought by the men instead of the dogs. Not having a bag
at hand, he was secured in a waggoner's frock, whence he con•
trived to escape through one of the sl : another hunt there-
fore ensued, with increased vigour. Ile was caught again, and
then secured in a bag. On the 10th inst. he was turned nut
again before the dcgs and upwards of 300 persons—a number
which we suppose will comprise all the men, women, and chil-
dren in the district. He led them a chace as far as liusland,
but not without five times taking shelter in the rocks, whence
he was smoked and dug out. Towards slight he returned to
Finsthwaite, and holed in a crag. Here the hunters left him
(after smoking him with about twenty carts of green wood, and
overturning half a dozen tons of rocks), under the surveillance
of four watchmen. Next day the hunters assembled again, lAA
could make nothing out, and retired, giving him up for lost.
On the 14th inst. a rumour was circulated that he had been
tracked in the snow, and a number of sportsmen repaired to
the spot, but it proved to be only a buck'rabbit ! The 'llart is,
therefore, among the missing.

INTERESTING EXHIBITION OF mr,u4-

TURF. GLASS-WORK.

To Friends from the Country, at this season
of the year, who are anxious to visit the most curioas and inte-
resting Exhibitions, we cannot too strongly recommend the very
superior, ingenious, and beautiful Collection of Glass-Work,
now exhibiting by Mr. Irma, at 161, Strand, opposite the New
Church. Though a miniature Exhibition, it is by far the most inte-
resting of anything of the kind we ever recollect having witnessed-
The Proofs of Modelling, Blowing, and Working of different kinds
of Figures and other Devices, in Gins of various colours, are
exhibited so as to give an idea at one view of this most tnstruc-
tive, curious, and fascinating Manufacture. It is also by far the
cheapest Exhibition in London, One Shilling only being the ad-
mission fee, and for which each person Is entided to select a spe-
cimen to that amount. We are further pleased to observe, that
the Proprietor has for sale a variety of Glass. Feathers, Pens,
ornamental Skips, Hydrostatic Balloons, :Vases, various Fancy
Figures, Birds, Quadrupeds, Baskets, and many other very inte-
resting Curiosities; and that he also makes Glass Shades for
Vases, Figures, &c. of the finest White Glass, to any dimensions.

A boy, at one of the Public Schools, had for some
misdemeanour been sentenced to write an impromptu
upon Queen Elizabeth's motto, "Nil Desperandurn."
Upon a slight consideration, he drew up the follow-

and who had taken some pains to instruct the rustic,
inhabitants in the proper signs of respect due to him,

observing a lad walking, before him, called out Roy,
dons take ogf your bat ; ' the youth, turning his head,
very iuuocently answered, " I warset a goistg, Sir."

of the celebrated Nan Swift's Works, on the audio.

Viten Dean Swift was in England, in 1720, he went
'to see Sir Robert Walpole, at Chelsia, which drew
the notice of all the company ; ltut no one knew him '
till Sir Robert entered, who went up to him very
;obligingly: Swift, without rising up, or any other
sicidress, said—" For Gon's sake, Sir Robert, take me
out of that Ireland, and place me some Where in Eng-
land",--" Mr. Dean," replied Sir Robert, " I should
be glad to oblige you, but I fear removing you will
spoil your wit. book at. that tree," pototing to one
under the uindow, " I transplanted frorrilhe hun-
gry soil of Houghton to the Thames side, but it is
good for nothing here." This happened, adds the

TILE PES:FIWcTIO* OF SCIO-..-The foPOlFing extract
Of a, letter from the Rev. H. 1). • Leeves, Agent to

additional information relative to the desolation of
' Scio by those ruthless barbarians whom Christian
Europe protects. The letter is dated Constntiaople,
October 8,'1822:
" We proceeded to Scio, where we had an oppor-

, lotion which has befallen this beautiful and once
flourishing island. I could not have conceived, with-
out being an eye-wholes;, that destraclion could late

town, which was handsome, and built entirely of

LAW INTELLIGENCE:

.P

COURT OF CHANCERY, JANUATIY 24.

This'being the first day of Term, the Learned and
King's Counsel met the LOUD CIIA%CELLOR, as usual,
in the Hall, before they proceeded to business in their
respective Courts.. The morning- being extremely
cold, probably was the cause of their not assembling
so early as they generally have done. Those who
had to go to • other Courts, took their leave a little
before one o'clock. _ _ _

The LORD CHANCELLOR took hh seat at one o'clock.
He stated, that he thought a great part of the relief
in the Petition of Mackay v. Todd must be granted;
but as to-day was so short, he having in Term time
to rise at two o'clock to give place to the Ilenchers,
and as it would take at least an hour for him to state
the grounds on which he had fortmd his opinion, he
would defer it till to-moi row morning.
