BOXERS

PUBLIC CHALLINCE to HARRY ihRMER.—This is to give no-
tice, that on the 13th of August last, Mr. Harry Harmer did,
in a public room, pull off his coat and challenge me to fight,
shortly after my having fought with Cooper. I not being them
in a fit state to accept his challenge, I now offer myself to his
notice, to fight him for any sum he may think fit to mention.—
P.S. I should not have thought of fighting him again, but I do
not like to take a challenge. (Signed) T. Sli ELTON.

MATCH AGAINST TIME.

Mr. ALLARD, a dealer, undertook yesterday, on the Bath
road, to trot a galloway, under 13 hands (his property), 14 miles
within an hour, and he engaged to ride 14 stone and a half. He
did the, first quarter of the distance in 13 min. and 30 sec.—the
second quarter in 14 min.—the third quarter in 14 min. 35 sec.
and the fourth and last three miles and a half, with ease, in 15
min. 58 sec. thus winning, without the least distress, one minute
and 57 sec. within the given time.

The receipts of the three days performances at the
late Music Meeting at Cloacester, amounted to nearly
£7OO. The contribution at the previous Meeting
was about £5O more. _ _ _

The first peal ever rung OR the bells of Gloucester
Cathedral, took place on Thursday last, when a peal
of grandsire cripples, containing 5040 changes, were
brought round by the College ringers in three hours
and sixteen minutes.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The entertainments, last
night, commenced with the Comic Opera of Rosins,
which was performed with great spirit. The admi-
rable Comedy of the School for Scandal succeeded,
in which Mr. TERRY personated the arduous cha-
racter of Sir Peter Teade with the most complete
success. The remaining characters were meritoriously
sustained, and the general representation was highly
creditable to the taste of the Management and talent
of the Company.
Amongst the various novelties cf the present day,
none attracts more general attention than the impos-
sibility of getting a Blank on THURSDAY NEXT, Al-
though 4,500 Tickets will be drawn. With other
Capitals, Two Prizes of £lO,OOO must be drawn ;
and as the Public have naturally the greatest predi-
lection for the most fortunate Offices, they are re-
spectfully invited to No. 19, Cornhill, and 26, Ox-
ford-street, where No. 18,775, a Prize of 1:30,000,
with Fifteen other Capitals, were sold by CAaftom.
in the last Contract.

Numerous instances are on record where persons,
in the humbler walks of life, have, through the kind
offices of a certain Lady, been raised to wealth and
power; and it is not improbable that Thursday Next
may produce some new witness corroborative of the
fact, as, on that day, DAME FORTUNE (the Lady al-
luded to) will distribute her favours, with an indis-
criminate hand, at Cooper's Flail, beginning with
Two of £lO,OOO in the First Five Minutes, and con-
tinuing to send forth nothing but Prizes all day long.
HAZARD and Co. respectfully remind the Public
that the Lottery begins next Thursday, when Two
Prizes of £lO,OOO must be drawn ; 4,500 Tickets

then drawn, will have the Option of receiving £l4,

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
MY Loan—l beg leave to address your Lordship
in the language of strong remonstrance, and with all
that decision which truth and justice demand. I
hesitate not to ask your Lordship, whether, in the
case of the QUEM you are not perpetrating the
grossest injustice and cruelty, in hunting after evi-
dences of guilt to degrade and divorce a widowed
wife, without ever inquiring how she was treated by
her husband, who had sworn before the DIVINE MA•
Jr.sTv to love her, and to cherish her ? Does not
such conduct shew that you are either lamentably
ignorant of the law of GOD, or wilfully disregarding
it? In either case you are preparing for yourself a
dreadful responsibility. I know not what the law or
England is, or what you may choose to call law, or
make to be law; but I know, and so may you, what

the law of HEAVEN is ; and it is at your soul's peril
if you violate it. Read the law, as delivered by the
SON of GOD himself, Matt. c. 5. v. 32. " But I say

unto you, that whosoever shall put a.vay his wife,
saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to
commit adultery." This is the law of GOD; that
Got, who will . soon be your Judge. Unless, there-
foie, the QUEEN was guilty of adultery before the
KING put her away, lie is the cause of all the sin
which, in that respect, she may have since corn-
, Witted. However guilty she may have been (if
guilty), he is the cause of it. "He is answerable for
her sin."—Scott in Lac.,
He has deprived her of GOD'S remedy for prevent-
ing fornication. 1 Cor. c. vii. v. 2. " Nevertheless
to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife,
and let every woman have her own husband." Here
you see, the wife's haring her own husband is the
appointment of HEAVEN to prevent sin. If her hus-
band, therefore, has deprived her of the remedy, her
sin tics at his door; and, if you have either the fear
of GOD before your eyes, or a desire to do justice,
you will seriously examine this before you proceed
one step farther. But turn again to the Sacred Re.
cord ; that law is plain-1 Cor. c. vii. v. 3. " Let
the husband rcnder to the wife due benevolence."
Has the QUEEN'S husband done so to her ? If he
has not, let him speedily put a stop to the iniquitous
.proceeding against her. But turn once more "to
the law and to the testimony"—ver. 4., 5. " The wife
!lath not power over her own body, but the husband;
and likewise the husband hath not power over his
own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one another,
except it be with consent, for a time, that ye may
give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come to-
gether again, that Satan tempt iou not for your in-
continency." Contemplate this ssage, and you will
avoid every act of cold-blooded cruelty to an injured
female. Has her husband acted towards her as di-
rected in these verses ? If he has not—if he has
defrauded her, &c.--if he has deserted her without
previous fornication on her part, she is under no
obligation to him at all. He has given her a Bill o/
Divorce by putting her away, and has broken the
marriage covenant, and thereby set her free. It is,
therefore, the height of absurdity for you to talk
about doing " substantial justice," if you judge is a
case in which you have no right to judge at all.
Consequently, all you are doing is injustice, and no-
thing else !
- Lay these things seriously to heart, and remember
that none can escape the judgment of GOD. You -
well know how that poor woman has been treated ;
therefore pursue her not with vengeance. Permit
me to remind you, that " the GOD, in whose hand
thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways" (Dan. c. 5.
v. 23.) hath said, " Vengeance belougeth unto me;
I will recompense;' (lleb. c. x. v. 30.) " Yea," he has
declared (James, c. ii. v. 13.) that " he shall have
judgment without mercy, who hath shewed no
mercy." Such, my Lord, is the law of HEAVEN—
a law that can never be dispensed with, or repealed ;
and it cannot be violated with impunity. Be wise,
therefore, before it be too late. Though you may
be beyond the reach of justice on earth, you will 6ad
it " of-ear/id thing to fall into the hands of the living
Goi ."—Heb. c. x. v. 31. JOIIN KNOX, Jux.

TIRE MONTHLY MAGAZINE, published to-day, con•
tains an exact and well finished Engraving of the
House of Lords, during the QUEEN s Trial ; and,
among many other interesting articles, the Secret
Treaty between the Duke of HANOVER and the Em-
peror of GERMANY, in 1692, explaining the cause of
ail our continental invo.vements.
The Will cf the late Sir Home POPHAM was proved
in the Prerogative Court, in Doctors Commons, on
the 23d instant. It is dated on the 18th of July,
1809, when he was Captain of the Venerable, and
" about to proceed on a particular service," of which
he states himself to have formed the plan and ar-
rangements. The whole property, real and personal,
.
is lett to Lady POPHAM for life, and at her death, to
their children equally. The Executors, who were
also Trustees for this purpose, having renounced their
right, the grant of administration, with the Wal an-
nexed, was consequently made to her Ladyship.—
The personal property is sworn under £lB,OOO.
The late JOHN EARL, of Bristol, left by his Will
an annuity of ten pounds a-year to the Parish of
Sherborne, in Dorsetshire, on condition that the
largest church bell should be tolled annually for six
hours, on the return of the day upon which he died;
and thirty pounds to the Vicar, to preach a funeral
sermon on the same day. The sermon was preached
on Saturday last, but the ringers abridged the time
of tolling to one-third, to the great satisfaction of
the inhabitants.
Since the finishing of the new Dock at Liverpool,
the area of the whole of the Docks and Basins there,
including the grounds, measures rather more than
sl:venty-four acres.
