lIIMIN-APTIIR A WALK IN THIS SPRING.

Br ktss. Om

Thee seems a voice in every gale,
.A tongue in every opening flower,
• Wldeb tells, 0 Loa" the woad'rous tale
Of thy indulgence, love, and power !
Ilse birds that rise on "der* wing
• Appear to hymn their Manses prase,
And all the sningliagsoands of Spring
To thee a general pan raise!
And shall my vela, great Goa! alone
Be mute, 'midst Nature's loud acclaim?
No—let my heart, with answering tone,
Breathe forth la praise thy holy name!
And Nature's debt is small to mine;
This bad'st her being bounded be ;
Bat, matchless proof of love divine,
Then gav'st immortal life to me l
The SAVIOUR left his heavenly throne,
A ransom for my soul to give;
Man's snaring state he nude his own,
And deigned to die, that I might live !
But thanks and praise for love so great
No mortal tongue can e'er express ;
Then let me, bowed beneath thy feet.
In alines love Thee, Loan!. and bless!

Shriftly after the meeting of the congregation in Dr.
iiitchie's chapel, Potter-row, on Thursday night, so
alarm was given that the gallery was falling, and a
spultaneous rush was made for egress. The circum-
stances were these—Mr. David Duncan, who was offi-
ciating, bad just uttered a few sentences of the first
prayer, when a noise was heard as of a beam cracking
—others say that a person thurst his arm through a
pane of one of, the windows. This caused an hump
taneous movement in the congregation, which was very
considerably checked by Dr. Ritchie, who was seated
op, else pulpit stairs, calling to the people to keep their
mats. The alarm of many, however, was so great, that
they pressed to the different doors, and one or two sus-

Monday evening, about eight o'clock, a daring act
of robbery was committed in the neighbourhood, of

FIGHT BETWEEN YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND

JACK MARTIN. FOR £lOO A-SIDE.

Tbis match, which has been so long on the list of
H Fights to Come," and which excited a more than
common interest in the " Fancy" circles, was decided
Yesterday on Knowle-hill, Briks, about sin miles from
Maidenhead. The combatants are well known by name
in the pugilistic circles—Sam as a young and successful.
aspirant'to fistic honours, and Martin as one of the old
school, who, under the cognomen of the " Master of the
Rolls." cut a conspicuous figure in the days of the de-
parted heroes, 'Randall and Turner. It is pretty well
known that this match was made, on the part of Martin
under very peculiar circumstances. Sam, he had good
reason to believe, had poached upon his domestic manor,
in a way calculated to rouse his indignation in no ordi-
nary degree ; and his desire of revenge had been mani-
fested on more occasions than one. At length he *de-
termined to obtain satisfaction in an" honourable way!
for the wrongs he had sustained; and he challenged
Sam to fair and manly combat. This challenge was
at once accepted by Sam; so far back as the I 1 th of
April, and yesterday was appointed for the important
contest.

The fight, as we have already stated, excited an ex-
traordinary interest, and the right of naming the place
of meeting having been won by toss by San's friends,
he chose Knowle-hill, the scene of his former victory
over Stockman—a delightful spot for the purpOse, and
being situated on a declivity, affording on one side a
sort of amphitheatrical view of the sport.
The assemblage of amateurs on the ground far ex-
ceeded any thing, in point of numbers and respectabi-
lity, that we have witnessed in modern times; and
brought to mind those golden days of the Fancy when
Crawley Downs was the scene of attraction. During
the previous afternoon the western road was crowded
with vehicles of every description. The town of
Maidenhead was completely overfl two, and accom-
modation, even of the most humble description, was
difficult to be procured. Indeed, such was the
churlish character of the innkeepers, that they would
scarcely permit the followers of the ropes and stakes
shelter, either for themselves or their horses. and several
were obliged either to turn back or go forward to ob-
tain shelter for the night; and this, although it teas
known not the slightest interruption would be given to
the games by the Magistracy. The dawn of day pro.
dnced a new cavalcade from all quarters, and the most
lively bustle was kept up to the moment of setting-to,
when nearly ten thousand persons were assembled, in-
cluding all ranks and degrees,
_ amongst Whotn some of
the oldest frequenters-of the Ring were distinguishable.
The weather was uncommonly fine, and the regulations,
under the management of Oliver and Tom Spring; as-
sisted by the corps of the Fair Play Club, were such as
to obtain general approbation.
Both men had arrived the preceding evening, Martin
at the Castle, on the top of the hill, through Maiden-
head, and Sam at a house lower dowse in the town.
They were mutually in high spirits, and spote with
equal certainty of success. Martin especially increased
the reliance of his friends, by the confidence of his sits-'
Ger and the buoyancy of his humour.
The important hour at length arrived, and both men
entered the ring; Sam taking the lead, attended by
Dick Curtis and Jem Ward. Martin appeared under the
auspices if Tom Spring and Peter Crawley: he wore
white talk stockings, and sported a bluebird's-eye foes.
Bain- wore his favourite yellownsore. Martin paid But
lktleattendon to his antagonist, While Sam eyed hint with
a searching look, and turning towards us, slid, 44 it will
be seen to-day whether fear forms any part of my com-
pissition." Onpediag, Martin showed a fine muscular pair
of roderstehasgs, and had some good points upwards,
but it was Obvious that his frame was not in iteprime.
Hit breast showed marks of recent blisters as well as the,
bites of !teases, and the flesh about his collar bont.s.
wanted that fulness and freshness which betoken good'
health ; still his colour wits gciod and his cointenince
!cheerful. Sam was, nail esti' right."aud was evidently
in slap-up condition. Though not so wellpineed as
Nimbi, his upper works wets symitsetry itself, and the
fine muscle of his shoulders and arms was visible at
every move. Martin was repeatedly cheered by his
friends. At length both men being ready, the toss for,
a choice of position took place, and was won by Curtis.
The men then went to the scratch, and shook handi
slightly, and immediately threw themselves into posi-
tion. Breathless silence prevailed, and the seconds re-
tired to their corners. At this time-the betting was 25
to 20 on Mattis.
