Yesterday, Josh I Judson appeared in the Iling, at Haydrin Cringe,
about five miles from Royston, accompanied by his seconds, Jens
W.:rd and Tom Oliver; bet Sampson was missin2. Josh threw up
his hat when time was called, and claimed the money, which was
ordered to be given him, Mr. Butler (Sampson's backer) conset.tiee
to lose the sum. What their bets were we are ignorant of, last
many disputes occurred, and Welch mains terminated in flooriag,
pewter-timing, and face making. There was a fight knocked un
by two novices from Cambridge. Their names were Larkin (the
winner) and Shadbolt (the loser). It was a merry fight, and laced

Now, that the L•tst Drawing Day of the last Lottery
contracted for is so near, (Saturday, 22d of May), curiosity is 00
the tiptoe to ascertain whether, after all, Government will really
discontinue so productive a tax, especially as it is a voluntary one?
and there are so many of a compulsory nature which they are con-
stantly importuned to give up. Whatever may be the result, Mr.
Swesentater has given a splendid proof of what may be effected by
judicious Schemes, for the Public have purchased more than in any
of the last fifty Lotteries, and the few Tickets and Shares tbat now
remain, will no doubt find Purchasers before the 22d instant, as
in that one Day, Taw of £20,000, besides 10 other Capitals, must
be decided.
THE GREEK REVOLUTION.—A most admirable Wolk
has just appeared, on the origin and progress of the Greek Revolu-
tion, &c. by E. BLAQUIERE, Ecq. Among the extraordinary events
of modern times, none have °centred of more powerful interest than
those which continue to agitate the classic shores of Greece ; and yet,
how imperfectly arc they known by us! It is true we occasional:i
hear of baffles, massacres, and burnings; but no analysis of the G ice k
character, no accurate or Connected account of their noble strut:4k%
for independence, nor any rational hypothesis regarding Its result,
could possibly be formed, until Mr. BLAQUIERE'S zeal for the cause
led him to visit " the isles of Greece, where burning Sappho lova
and sung"—the only plan, indeed, by which authentic materials fc:
such a Work could be collected.
