But hark!—the cannon's found ! the gen'ral tear ! .
Peittaltrl the Hale of Ta*fALOAa near—.
Behold ! the Therm' Slur to port advance,
With hint, who ensiled the naval pow'r of France;
With him, who triampit'd with his Weft breath,
And perchaed fame immortal by his death!
Tr AT Sus t, which Rill his ecinqu'ring Standard bore,
Brings her dead Hero to &jemmies Isere.
High en her malt the laurel branch is feat,
But Cyprefs mingles with the deatiddsgteen I
Freighted with glory, and a weight of woe,
The veal moves majeftically Bow—
• The Seamen bending o'er her lofty fide,
Their tears of Sorrow mingle with the tide t
And mark what anxious crowds in Since Sand.
To ball his relics to their Dative land!
Not with hems! but with &jetted eyes,
With throbbing hearts, and tributary Bets!
For will( they mourn their mach lov'd Mason's let,
The pride of Catgut& is shwa forgot.
No hireling pageants Stall his hark attend,
For ALL deplore their hero end their Friend,
The Flags of Empires are the Vide?' pall,
Won from the Dane, the Spaniard, and the Gaul!
And fee I the Hata of EISOLAIIII Janda train,
Which throngs to grace the Hero of the Main :
Though Leaden pours her ossmdds thoefands out,
Correeted feclinp cheek the goers' Gaut I

By Sleet grief, and by the Ailed groan;
Bo moves the Coarse epee the trophirl bier,
Mourn'd by his King! entbalsed with Itsglanors tear !
To that Faure Cuomo", that lifts Its tovesieg bead-.
Minters martins of the patriot dead!

Sammie BIT.—On Monday week (Plough Day)
a bet ofs. was decided in the Caftle-yard, York,
betweeh John Hodgfon and Samuel Whitehead,
both &kw:: it was, which of them was to appear
as the molt larder and original therein& The
former was decorated with a ten guinea bank note
on jhis 'raincoat breaft, a number of five guinea
notes down the fame, and on both fides of his coat
brea, with guinea notes on his (boulders and arms
of his coat ; round his hat band were a great
number of five guinea notes, and near the top of
the hat crown was find a purfe of gold, Which
went round the fame. On his back a paper with
the words John Bull." Whitehead appeared in a.
woman's &eh on one fide, with a 'ilk Rocking, a neat
flipper, and that fide of his face painted. The other
ado of his face and body refembled a negro with a
man's drefs, and a new boot and (par. The wager
was given in Favour of Hodfon, whole bills amount-
ed to 375 guineas, independent of the gold. It is so
be regretted, that the whole of the money cannot be
convened (as it certainly ought) to the ufe of his
lawful creditors.
Boxiao.—Yellerday a contell in pugilifm took
place between Charley Shock, the fon ofat reputable
tradefmao in St. James's.Sreet, and King, a wafter
baker. The combatants were rather of the pigmy
race, neither of them being above five feet three in
height, and their joint weight, it was Paid, did not
amount to feventeen none. The parties, with their
feconds, Galley and Dick Weale for Shock, and Jones
and the veteran Caleb Baldwin for the Baker, met
at Hampton Common, where a twenty-five feet roped
ring was formed. On (tripping the Baker appeared
to be the flouter of the two,and to have thejadvantage
of a greater length of reach ; but Shock was known to
be true game, and fix to four were betted in his leaden..
In the 6th round, after having exchanged blows
(and this was the only one in Which the Baker (hewed
gbt) they elofed, and Shock was thrown under the
ropes. In the fubfequent rounds the Baker, bad not a
fhadow of chance, for Charley went in and hit hint
down without the flighteft difficulty.
The coma, which had drawn together a confider.
able number of fpeflators, lafled no snore than fix
rounds, which were fought in (even minutes.
The Baker was contidered by the amateurs one
of the motif that ever attempted to feet. He proved
himfelf altogether a novice in Marring, hitting, or
(billing. The feience of Charley manifefied itfelf
about the head and body of the Baker, who was mi-
ferably ditfigured. The victor was taken off the
ground in a chalk, decorated with blue ribbons, as
the infignia of victory, by a celebrated amateur.
After the battle was over, a match was made be:
tween Young Ryan and Cropley, for fifty guineas,.
to fight within a week.
On Friday fe'nnight, at a farm-houfe, in the parifh
of St. Dogmell's, l'etnbrokatire, a quarrel refped-
ins a young woman epfued between Jona Owe us,
Matter of a trading vael from Cardigan, and Jos tiu•
Lewis, farmer ; blows followed, and Lawns was
cut and wounded with a knife, by Orates, in fix dif-
ferent parts of his body, and is fence dead.
In the night between Wednefday and Thurfday
fe'nnight, Ruch torrents of rain fell in Lancafhire, as
not only to (well the rivers to an almoft unparalleled
magnitude, but can ied away the wooden bridge at
Broughton Ford, near Meacham, by the firength
and rapidity of the flood, and the mercilefs element
feemed at one time to threaten general devatlation.
Hodes, (peep, furniture, and other effects were Peen
floating down the flreani, nor was it poffible to five
the property. All the lower part of Broughton.
townibip was completely overflowed ; feveral cows
are flitted to have been drowned.
