had a very full muster of amateurs. The setting-to throudhout was
good. Among those who particularly distinguished themselves,
were Tont Spring and Whiteheaded Bob, who gave a very fine
specimen of the art of self-defence. Bob showed off to greater ad.
vantage than we ever witnessed on his part Wore, and gave tai. 1.
perienced opponent enough to do to keep him d /a dialunce. Sprim,
however, showed himself to be a " first wee,' and Jett off with

Pic.k, Ned S.ockman and Bradley, Tom Redie and Fitzniaurice'
. Lennox and lark, and Scroggins and Charley Clarke, did then
be-t to please. Ned Stockman challenged Young, " the Sun-yard
Sseell,' for .C. 7.0; and Mike Certain invited the same man to re.
new his match (or £25 a-side, hut " the swell" announced that he
would not fight for less titan £3O aside. Deaf Burke chelleitged
Tom Redie for £lO a-side, and a purse; hut Tom would not lower
his dignity to so low s price. Tom Redie then challenged Harry "- -
'Jones fur £5O; and this, in all probability, will be a match.

Those individuals who have been specuTating on a •

the public, been disappointed in-their anticipations, and' -
many of them have already been sufferers.
HAVRE. N0v.,12.—S one days since a boatman, lit
crossing the river opposite to p .bille, saw an animal
swimming in the water at a short distance before him.
Stopposing that it wa. some domestic animal, he steered
towards it, but found that he had intended to succour
a wont* of an enot mills size. The animal, although re-
peatedly struck with an oar. kept up the tt•tiggle for
more than half an hour. The b A' man ca:led rut for
help, and a man at length artising with a pun, the
wo:f was killed t y a bullet shot, which went thronb
his head. On withOro wing his C4IC4Se from the water,

The hasp is hushed hi Kedron's Irak,
The liver dwindled to a rill
That haunts it, like an ancient tale,
In dying whispers still;
The wind, among the sedges, keeps
Some echoes of its broken lyre,
And wakes at times with sudden sweeps,
Thoughts of its former &s,—
Where Armes flowery summits rise,
To point the moral to the skies !
Illy breast has learned, its other lend%
That sunlit, through its own deep glooms,
Lone—as yon lonely city stands,
Among her thousand tombs i•
Amidst its mouldering wrecks and weeds,
While memory, like that river,. sings;
Or, like the night-breeze in the reeds,
Plays with its broken ming.,
My spirit sits, with folded wing,
A sad but not unhappy thing!
What if my loves, like yonder waves,}
That seek a dead and tideless sea,
Rave perished, in the place of graves,
That darkly waits for me !
What, if no outlet of the earth,
Those dull and dreary watets own,
And time shall give no second birth
To dreams and wishes gone!
What, though my fount of early joy,
Lite Kedron's springs, be almost dry ;
High o'er them, with its thousand flowers,
Its precious crown of scent and bloom,
Hope, like another Carmel. towers
In sunshine and hi gloom ;
Flinging upon the wasted breast
Sweets born in climes more pure and highs
And, pointing with its lofty crest,
Beyond the starry sky,—,
'Where a new Jordan's waves shall gem
A statelier Jerusalem !
