reference to the Mailer was to Mr. Cox, and it was
defied, that Mailer Hervey might be fubllituted for

think the attorney who had been employed, fhould
be examined, touching monies received for the De-
fendants; and that an anion at law, commenced by

Wright and Hall, two of the Clerks of the Court; and
the fubjeet of the (*nit was the (urn Hated to be due by
fuch reference. Mr. Coulthur.t was far from being
difpofed to fhrink from inquiry, and would fubmit to

fubilitntion of Mailer Harvey for Mailer Cox.—
Certain bills had been offered in payment of the coils,

ANECDOTE OF DEAN SWIFT AND HIS BARBER.--
The Dean, while refident on his living in the county
of Meath, before his promotion to the Deanery of
St. Patrick, was daily fhaved by the village barber,
who at length became a great favourite with him.—
Strap, while lathering him one morning, Paid he had
a great favour to requeft of his Reverence ; that his
neighbours had advifed him to take the little public-
houfe at the corner of the church-yard, which he had
done, in the hope, that' blending the profeffion of
publican with his own, he might gain a better main-
tainance for his family i—" Indeed," Paid the Dean,
and what:can I do to promote this happy union ?"
And plaife you," replied Strap, fome of my
eutlomers have heard much about your Revetence's,
poetry, fo that if you would condelcend to give me a
[mart little touch in that way, to clap under my fign,
it might be the making of me and mine for ever."
" But what do you intend for your fign ?" lays the
Dean. $' The Jolly Barber, if it pleale your Rever-
ence, with a razor in one hand, and a full pot in tile
other."—" Well," rejoined .he Dean, " in that
cafe there can be no great difficulty i fupplying you
with a fuitable infcription :" fo taking np his pen, he

ADDRESS. FROM.
THE YEW•TREE AT CROOKSTONE,
TO THE OLD CASTLE;

Vl,bere It Is hid MART Quern of Scotland and DARN tar retired,
loon after their Marriage —.The Yew, now in ruins, as well as
the Caftle, feems to have been very large.—Tradition Pays, that
the favourite Seat of the Lovers was a kind of Arbour, raifcd In
a cleft of the tree, among the branches.

My kind, refpeeted, venerable friend,
The world, and all its glories, have an end!
Lu, how I Oliver ! blafted, bleak, and bare,
DARNLEY'S delight, and ROYAL MAR care!
My erer-verdant, gioffy foliage, fled;
My vizour wafted—all my honours dead!
Fragrant perfumes, front gay parterres, no more
Breathe round my trunk, and every branch explore;
No more I ftand the proudeft of the grove,
The Forefte envy, ebofen feat of Love!
Still to my Friend I turn a languid eye,
And inure on all our fplendour, with a figh;
Still on thy mouldering portal fondly gaze,
And view the fun beams on thy turrets blaze,
Thufe towers, once brighten'd by a warmer fire,
" The purple light of Love, and young defire."
When from thy Chambers, feeking new delight,
The Royal Lovers net my ravith'd fight;
When to my arms, in nature's bluthing pride,
Enraptur'd DARN LILY led a willing BRIDE;
I faw, I felt their blifs through all my frame,
My shade fubfervient to their mutual flame.
Whether below the tender blade they prefed,
Or fought the flower among the branches drefed,
Where Fancy bade a ruffle arbour rife,
Sacred to Venus, fafe from human eyes!
Unhappy Pair! the tranfitory joy
Fled their embrace, ere Love had time to cloy,
Their talc, a warning theme, to after times,
Of lov.e, and hate; of follies and of crimes.
Thrice baplefs MAR v ! pierc'd by every dart,
With which, malignant envy tears the heart;
Deftin'd a fad memorial to difplay,
Of beauty, grac'd with grandeur in decay.
0 thou extoll'd, eialted, and ador'd,
Belov'a, betrayed, defertcd, and deplor'd ;
Doom'd to endure a vengeful Rival's hate,
Diffembled pity; and a deadly fate!
Thy Flower, frail Beauty, blooms not in the grave,
But Virtue rifer o'er oblivion's wave,
By human fufferings, prov'd, conftrned,
Meek to the world, to Heaven's decrees refign'd
Let thole, to MART'S fate refufe a tear,
Who give to partial doubts a willing ear;
Or prtudly righteous, tread the onward way,
Where pleat are pleads not, nor temptations !tray ;
Where paffion yields to prudence, live to fame ;
Where Youth is free from folly, Age from blame !

BOXING.

The pugil;flic exhibition. between the noted Bel
cher and Crib took place yefterday, at Moulfey Hurft
for 200 guineas. Belcher, who has in fome degree,
degenerated in flrength, and has loft an eye, formerly
ranked firft in the fcience of prize fighting. Crib
had but humble pretenfions to the cbarafter of a
fkilf'ul boxer ; but had fuccefsfully oppofed Blake,
Maddox, and feveral others of fecond rate, and was
neverthelefs confidered a fate man to back. The
mode of fighting he has uniformly adopted has been
that of falling back, in order that his adverfary
might follow him. At eleven o'clock Hampton was
filled with the amateurs, and at twelve the candidates
entered a zo•feet roped ring, encircled by one •of
very large dimenfions. Each of them appeared full
of confidence, and Belcher betted Crib 25 to 20 before
they fet to.—Average betting was about fix to four
in the ring.
