BOXERS.

Thursday afternoon Peter Crawl. yand km Ward took a joint
benefit at the Tennis-court, when the cutiosity of the public to
learn the CALM of Ward's mysterious conduct on the preceding
Tuesday, bad the effect of filling the court to an ovei ROM. Ward
stood opposite the money table, and was comp!etely chop-fallen ; he
did not venture to enter the body of the court ; the reproachful
looks, and the significant silence of those white/ere once his friends,
must have been very distressing to bins. Ile gave the following
explanation of his conduct—He said that, on Tuesday morning,
between twelve and one o'clock, while his hacker was on the
crieket•grouad, speaking to the constable, and while Crawley's
' back was turned (or a few minutes. a man, who e name he declined
nteutionitag. obtained a privae interview with hint (Ward), and
Arid. "Jem. if you will consent to low the fight, you will receive
£250 instanter, and £250 alter the battle is over." Jem replied
that he could not consent to this, as his backers had beep very kind
to him. " Then," said the arm-messenger, "certain Geatlemen
(mentioning the names of those who had scot him) will be utterly
ruined, for they have taken the odds to a &teat amount." The
oteswitger then departed, and Ward, as he says, determined not to
rob his honourable backers, and not liking to he it.strun,ental .o the
ruin of the panics who had thus tempted bun cod. r rung, thought
it would be the best way fur him to decline 001;4 ; he therefore
made the excuse about hit be in,; u..well. Was.' declined saying
any more on tint occasion. S•eut att.rwards, however, he pro-
mised Crawley that the whole truth ,hould a nse out. If his tale
be true, be may he consid- red as more tool than knave, tor ;t will
be perceived that, in toe fear of iniuring others, he has really sacri-
ficed batmen*.

b:ca.ma IN Tali BLUE aVitaINTA INS —The passage of
of the Potowntac, tho outdo the Blue Alt u is ret-
h in one of the most stupenkineis scenes in nature. You
stand on a very high point of land ; on your right comes
up the Shenandoah, having ranged alc.ng the lot of
the mountai ss an hundred miles tit seek a vent. On the
left approaches the Potnwmae in quest of a passer
also. At the moose. t of Vieir junction, they rush to-
gether against the mountain, rend it a.under, and pass
off to the sea. Ti.,' first glance of ills: scene hurries
our senses into the opinion that t .is earth had been
rented in process of time; that the mountains
°were
farmed first; that the rivers began to flow aft swards;
that, in this place, particularly, they have been Jammed
up by the blue ridge of mai 'tan's, and have loomed
an ocean which filled the whole valley; thus con
tinning to rise, they have at length broken over this
spot, and have tot is down this mountain from its sum-
mit to its base. The piles of to kon each hand, lut
particularly on the Shenandoah, exhibit the evident
marks of this disruptive aNd avulsion from their beds'
by the most poweilul agents of nature. aid corroborate
the impression which such monuments or war between
the rivers and mountains (they must have shaken the
earth to its centre) had created. The broken and rug-
ged faces of the mountains on each side of the river,
the tremendous socks which ale left with one end fixeff
to the precipice, and the other jutting out and seem
ingly ready to fall for want of seaport; the bed of the
river for several miles below, obstructed and filled with
the ooae and stones catried from this mound; in short,
every thing on which you can cast your eye evidently
demonstrates a dicrupture and breach in the mountains ;
and that, before this happened, what is now a fruitful
vale was formerly a great lake, which might pos%ibly
have here formed a mighty cascade, or had an outlet
to the ocean by the Susquehanna, where the Wee ridge
seems to terminate.—.lfferson's Virginia.

MURDERS AT PORTSMOUTH.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 13 —l. st esening and this
morning timbre compunctions and g eat unersii,ess
were di.c.'veted in the demeanour of Stacey's father ;
and shortly after, without sul dutiva, he iotimated that.

of Copner. about three miles horn hence, near the en.
trance of which hamlet, on t e lift hand side of the
high road leading trims P.irtsincutli, we some clay
pits, immediately opposite to which is a lane leading to
the &Items, and on the right hand corner which lane
is a bank, with some shrubs growing nit is ; beneath
these a hole had been Jug, which Stacey vointed
and in which, in a h indkeichief, the sum id 6271. od I

Stacey has not been tarther communi.:ative, but it is
conjectuted he pl rceJ the money there by himself. on the
Almiday night after the murder by his son. It is sin-
gular, that neatly all the year Gips ys make this lane

yards of the spot wh •o the officet s discovered the' to sure.
On the Sunday of the murder, the younger Stacey
bought a pact, with which it is supposed he gained
entrance at theiront door, in excuse ius e the old G
tleman, and instantly bolting the door atm biro com-
menced the bloody deed. The tact was found in a
bloody grove, together with air empty purse, by a sol•
dier, in the King's Moat.

The fillo.ving is a silly tale with refcre ice to this

He says, that on Sunday :light (that of the murder),
he met an individual in Camden-alley, who eed with
him to commit the crime; that on arriving at the Q lay

OF ENGLAND.

nor aim& in thy lair,
bondage which tyrants prepare!
, the soldier or slave
Who endangers thy Freedom most find thee a grave!

Awake ! and remember the morn of thy pride,
When despots were spurn'd like the scum from the tide;
Awake ! and in thunder pronounce the decree,
That the traitor must answer his treason to thee!
Let the yoke of the soldier be once on thy neck— •
Let thy beauty and strength be the Mines of his beck,
And the spirit that liv'd the delight of the free
Will be thought of with scorn—will have perish'd in thee!
Thy pow'r 'mid the nations will sink to a name,
Tby " sun will have set " in derison and shame;
.And the Lion of England, the honest and brave,
In the chains of a soldier will wander—a Slave!
