What! Shot, with thy genius, thy youth, and thy flame-6
Thou! born of a Bugatti, whose instinct to run
law accostom'd career of thy sires is the same
As the eagle's to soar with his eyes cin the surf!
Whose Nobility comes to thee, stamp'd with i seal,
Far, far more ennobling than momirsh e'er set—
With the blood of Eby race, offer'd up Our the weal
Of a nation that swears by that martyrdom yet!
Shalt thou be faint-hearted and turn from the strife,
From the mighty arena, where all that is grand.
And devoted, and pure, and adorning in life,
Is for high-thoughted spirits like thine to command?
0 I no, never dream it—while good men despair
Bsitween tyrants and traitors, and timid teen Bow,
Never think for an instant, thy country Fan spare
Such a light from her dark'uing horizon as thou
With a spirit as meek as the gentlest of those
Who hi life's sunny v.alky lie shelter'd and warm—
"let bo'd and heroic as ever yet rose
To the top-eiffs of Fortune and breasted h'r storm!
l'ath an ardour for liberty, fresh. as in youth,
It Lrst kindles the. Bard and gives life te his lyre,
Yet mellow'd ten now, by that mildness of truth.
Which tempers, but chills not, the Patriot's fire!

BOXING.
The battle between Moss, the gipsey, and Bill
Edwards, the Bath butcher, took place on Wednes-
day, for sixty guineas, on Ham Heath. Richards,
the cricketer, seconded Edwards, and one of the
gipsey tribe seconded Moss. Betting even.
In the first round Edwards uncorked his adversary's claret,
which flew about copiously, and Moss, in bearing in, was floored
by a rightahanded tearer in the body.
S. After exchanging counter hits at the head, in rallying
much ruffuttism took place on the part•of the Gipsey,who dis-
played much of the Randall tactics. Edwards at length stopped
bib adversary's action, by getting his head under the left arm and
weaving at it, until he paid him trick-and.tyeat the bleeding
game. The Gipsey get away, and both broke their ground for
a fresh turn up. The Gipsey placed a heavy hit on Edwards's
right side, which he did not deem to relish, and bored him
down ; but both werq weak from the exertions of the round,
which was all fight for several minutes.
5. 'Mosrwas blind of the right eye, and the lancet was ap-
plied; but it was a hugging round, and both fell.
4. Edwards fought with much science to get at his opponent's
left eye; but he would not have it. Edwards had the best of in
and out fighting, and dropped Moss forward by a neat hit in
the wind.
5. Moss led in this round, and knocked his adversary down
by a heavy hit upon the jaw ; and it won him the fight, for
Edwards being crossed in leading, like many of his superiors,
did not fancy it, and he was very shy at going in arter. lie
was thrown a cross-buttock, and it was even betting that he did
not come again.
6. This round ended the fight in nineteen minutes. Moss
was the worst beat; but Edwards evidently wanted courage, or
he could not have lust it. Moss won the battle by a slight
blow, with which his adversary went down, and would not
appear in time.
There was a second battle fought for a purse of
five guineas, between a nine stone Jew and a twelve
.stone Countryman, which was won by the Jew in
seven minutes. In the first round the Countryman
deliberately walked.away to wipe the blood off his
nose ; and in the third he gave in.

With an eloquence—not like those rills from a height,
Which sparkle, and foam, and in vapour are o'er,
Bi.t a current, that works out in way into light

Through the filtering recesses of thought and of lose !
Thus gifted, thou never canst sleep In the shade;
If the stirrings of Genius, the music of Fame,
And the charms of thy cause have not power to persuade,
Yet, think hove to Freedom thou'rt pled& by thy Name
Like the boughs of that laurel, by Delphi's decree,
Set apart for the fane and it's service divine,
•
All the branches, that spring from the old Ressatt. tree,
Are by Liberty claimed for the use of her shrine !
