His Grate the Duke of BIDFORD has eretted, in the
Garden at Woburn, a Temple confecrated to Friend-
(hip, and decorated with Buns and Poetical Tributes
to his mon valued intimates. Several votaries of
the Mule, including General FITZ►ATRICK, have at-
tempted to celebrate Mr. Fox ; but his Grace, who
atled as Mecanas, has given the preference to the
following talleful Lines from the elegant pen and re.

One of the moll revere fights took place on Toef-
day, that has been witneffed fince the memorable
battle between Jobnfon and Big Ben. Neither oldie
combatants had entered the lifts before, though they
were known to pairs great (kill, and were equally
defirmis to difplay it. One of them was PIM WARD,
fon of the celebrated broiler of that name, and the
other Toss Biscuit. younger brother to a pogililt
of Rill greater celebrity. The match was firft made
between Belcher and Caleb Balwin (a well known
broiler) ; but the latter having declined, Ward en-
tered the lift in his Read, under the expedation of
gaining a putfe, containing upwards of 40 guineas,
iubfcribed by Sir Toossiis Asiatics, Capt.-HALLI-
DAY. and other (porting Gentlemen, to be given to
the vigor. About one o'clock the parties arrived at
the Willow-walk, attended by vaR concottrfe of
fpettators, who, notwithßanding the fecrecy.which
had been obferved in order to prevent the attendance
of the Police Officers, had gained a knowledge of the
intended fight ; an nbjet9inn being made to the (pot
chufen in the Willow-walk, as ton confined for the
conreft, the combitants agreed to fight in Tothill-
fields, within a (pace of so feet fquare ; the feconds
accordingly went thither. and having firtt driven
Rakes in the ground, formed a ring, of the dimen-
(ions Rated, by bridles. which were fupplied by
coachmen, and which being made faft to the (takes,
prevented the populace from breaking in.
At two o'clock they accordingly met, attended by
their feconds and bottle holders, &c. On (tripping,
Ithe odds were fie to four on the fide of Belcher. and
'many bets were made. Ward appeared more milieu-
' lar than his opponent out of his clothes, but Belcher
WAS longer armed. and taller. They both fet to in a
mafterly (Lyle, and difplayed great fcienee. Ward
made the two firtt blows at his opponent's body,which
took confiderably effeet : they wete given with fuels
violence, that had they been placed where they were
intended. the battle would have been finiflied. Bel.
cher, however, foon rallied, when fume defperate
blows coined on both tides; and the round Wised
with even betting.
From the firlt to the eighth round was one con-
tinued fcene of hart.' fighting, each party endeavour-
ing to make god his hits without ever once &oink-
ing from a blow. The odds wete fix, to four on Bel-
cher again ; but it was not thought they were war-
ranted from any advantage he had in the battle.—
Young Belcher adopted the manner and Rile of his
brother, and hit as fireight as a dart with his left
hand, whillt his opponent (ought like a lion, and dill
dained to give way.
For feveral rounds after die eighth, Ward's blows
were In forcibly and well direited that they became
irrefillible, and he had apparently the advantage :
but, from the fupptifed bottom of young Belcher, the
betting was Rill even. About this per( id Belcher
began to be in reality fo weak and &united, that
he fell twice without receiving a blow.
To the feventeenth round Ward feemed to potlels
the advantage. if there was any, and had put in many
very delperate body blows. Belcher continued to
fight with equal fpirit. but fought all at the head, by
which means he had confiderably injured Ward's eyes,
and were much fivelkd. _ . •_ _ .

The 17th round was fought with defperation.— 1
Belchet's Ilrength teemed to he recruited ; be chang-
ed his mode of fighting, and threw in level-al body
blows. Ward perlevered with undaunted fpirit to the
end of the round, which was lung ; but, alter falling
with his opponent, he did not appear to rife with the
fame alacrity.
The 18th round was another fcvcre trial, in which
both the combatants feemed determined to employ
all the flrength and vigour they had left. Ward
appeared very faint ; hut he flintily flood his ground,
and received Inch violent blows on his eyes, already
much cut, thst they were now entirely doled tip.
Though his fight was nearly gone, he requelled to
try another round, in which be was completely
worfled ; and his Itiends, perceiving there were no
hopes of (need:. the Hon. K►►►st. Ca•vrri, and
other fporting Gentlemen, interpoied, and infidcd
that he thould not fight any longer, in cildequence
of which he was carried off the ground almoil a lite-
left corpfe, and Belcher received the prize.
The fight laded 29 minutes, during which 19
rounds took place.
Yellerday another defperate battle was fought in
Hyde Park, between Joe Davey, a ihoemaker. and
Wilkins, a drover. The fight ladled an hour and ten
minutes, during which nuinbetlefi knock down blow s
were exchanged. The drover was at leng.h declared
the viElor, but they were both fo dreadtully beaten,
as to be concluded off the ground, blind and much
bruited.
