THE STATESMAN

shire and Lord Ilartington: the others belonged for the
most part to prieate gentlemen. There were some bun-
deeds of gentlemen on horseback, and thousands of pe-
de.trians. Tlderoads atill fields adjacent to Salt•hill were
insufficient to c dtrain them. %Viler: the young gentlemen
arrived at the destined spot, their Ensign, Mr. Ihmsey,
ascended thesnmmit. and there before intent:enable ap-
I'Ltuding. Fp^ctators waived and furled his flag in a most
dexterous manner. Widen this ceremony was concluded,
the young gentlemen immediately repaired to the great
len near the Itlount, and partook uf a dinner, which had
he-n previodisly prepard for them. Many of them, as
usual. in lulled rather more freely in their devotions to
the jolly god than was suitable to their tender yeare.—
Between six and seven o'clock they marched back to
Windsor, and went upon the. Terrace, where ey pl-
eaded for some time with the bands of music; and
finished the revelries of the day by retiring to the
College.
. A great and general disappoin►ment was experienced
in the lamented ahserdce of his Majesty, and the still more
lamented cause of that absence. lint the Sovereign was
not unmindful of those to whom his liberality had been
"%tended on an many former occasions; he sent his.
usual purse of 100 guineas; and Mr. Canning—once the
most distingnishedl Mumner of this ancient Seminary,
was the bearer of it. _ _ _

The diy was nnentnmonlv fine, and rendered doubly
gritteftil in consequence of some refreshing showers which
had fallen during the preceding night, and early in the
morning. It tv,.s the general feeling of all the visitors,
that a more delightful Montem had never before occurred.
Mr. Barnard, the Captain oldie Scholars, will receive all
the money that hes been collected, end is immediately t
enter the University upon the foundation. The, grand-
father of this young gentleman was once Provost of Etun
College.

BOXING.

THE GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN SPRING AND

This grand combat, whichNEATE. has so long InterAted the
Sporting World, took place yesterday, le a field about a
mile on this side Andover, the Magistrates having pre-
vented its taking place at Weyhill. The road ass so
much thronged with vehicles of every description, that
it was with the utmost difficulty the journey to town could
be performed ; and at the hour of our going to press, but
very few people had returned from the some of action,
and even those to whom the public look for scientific in-
formation on the combat, had not yet arrived. In the
mean time, to allay the anxiety of such of our readers as
are interested in the result of the day, we avail ourselves
of the friendly communication of the following particn-
lsrs. from an Amateur, who returned to town since one
o'clock :

The multitude collected round the ring was supposed to
be the greatest ever assembled on a similar occasion. The
number was computed at not less than five and thirty thou-
sand. The greatest order, however, prevailed, through the
judicious arrangements of Mr. Jackson.

Neate entered the ring, first, with Belcher and Har-
mer, and was soon followed by Spring, attended by Crib
and Painter. The men peeled in the guest condition
possible.
Pound I. Sparring for stx minutes. Neste then tried
at Spring's body with his right hand. Spring broke
away, but returned with a tremendous bit under the ear,
and.drew the first blood. Shouting for Spring.
Round 2. Long Sparring. Spring put in a left-handed
hit on Neate's eye, which nearly closed It. A rally ensued,
when Spring threw Neale.—Betting 7 to 4.
Round 3. This was the most effective round. An
exchange of tremendons blows took pla, e, when Spring
hit Neat in falling, and nearly aunt ;rim out of the ring.
At this time the bets were 10 to 2, an .l the greatest con-
' fusion prevailed among the Bristolians.
Round 4. Nerve came np bleeding at the mouth.
and quite out of temper ; tried all means to get in, and
shifted about in all directions. Spring remained per-
fectly firm, and appeared int to exert himself at all.
Neale, at len,:th, exhausted with sparring, went in, and
received a couple of mill blows from Spring's right
hand as resounded through the ring. These were fol-
lowed by another blow on the neck as Neale was falling.
—Betting 10 to 1.

Itonnd .s.—After a little sparring. and exchanging of
blows, Neate was hit down, and tumbled 'over like a
shuttlecock. Immediately on getting Hp. he shook
hands with Spring and gsre in.—lt was said his arm was
broken.
The battle lasted thirtv-!ive minntes.

On the issue of the fight, immense sums of money
were depending. Mr. Bland, it is said. made seven c ton-
sand pounds on the occasion ; and Mr. Sant (Spring's
backer) has also made a good thing of it.
Our informant adds, that he never witnessed a fight
so respectably attended. Among the men of title pre-
sent were the Earl of Egretnonr, the Marquees of Wor-
cester, Lord Nugent, Lord Cardogan, &c. &c. &c.

Dom us et plarrns usor. {lnes
Thy house, and (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.
.00CRATKS, by his Discourse on A 1 suite, so enrap-
tured his nntlitars with the subject, that the married
men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to he
wedded; and "The Spectator" has affirmed, that the,word
" wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in Wore.
The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth. hat disposing the soul itself to harmonize
with bliss hereafter.

Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obli-
gation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate
the pasaicns, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those
impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are
attributable. many of those hapless instances, which white
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should also
Impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxiirious habits will effeininize the body—a rzsidence in
the tropics wildreisx the elastic fibre—but more especially
does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently mon-
promine the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from
whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of
relief. To all such. then, we address ourselves, offering
hope—enertry—nunecuter strength—felicity: nor will our
advances appear questionable. sanctioned as they are by the
multiplied proofs of twenty years successful experience.

SUMMONINti JURIES.

(r. oxl TUC DUBLIN MORNING POST OP TUESDAY.)
Ou Saturday, when the panel for a County Jury was
calling over in the Court of King's Bench, to try a case
at Nisi Prins.

Mr. O'Connell prayed his Lordship would order the
attendance of a man named Drummond, the Sheriff's
bailiff, in order to his being sworn as to having summ•med
the Jury, as the defendant (Mr. O'Connell's client,) had
evidence of the bailiff having demanded a guinea from
the plaintiff, for having summoned certain persons rpon
the panel, and having omitted others. Mr. O'Connell
then called a witness to prove what he Lad stated to the
Court, when

Judge Burton oSserreil, that examining the witnesses
would be an irregular mode of proceeding upon so se-
rious a charge. His Lordship then order 'd the bailiff
to he sent for, when it was announced, after considerable
delay, that he could not be found.
Tile Learned Judge ordered an affidavit of the facts
stated to be laid before him, and postponed the trial for
some time until it sees re tdy.
The plaintiffs Attorney., professed his anxiety that the
circumstances should be mg tired into, as if there htd
been any improper conduct respecting the Jury, he was
ignorant of it, and he was totally unacquainted with any
of Elie jury.
Judge. Burton did not conceive any imputation could
lie upon the Attorney from what lastl.been stated, but be
hail reason to fear that improper prartices existed as to
the returning of Jury panels, and the subje. t being one
of grave and serious importance, he should require the
alLitavit to he laid be!ore the Court, in order to the
wilier being thortinghly investigated.
The Counsel on both sides agreed as to the netts ity
of having the matter invired into, from the s-rionimess
of the charge, and die importance of keeping the Trial
by Jury free from all imputation; and it was accord-
ingly agreed to postpone the trial till nest Term.

Leters likve been received from Lisbon by the Packet
to the 10th inst. They speak in terms of the greatest en-
thusiasm of the state of feeling in the whole of Portugal,
when not the smallest trace of rebellion is left. All the
departments of Government are 'Shouting with the great-
est activity to forward the preparation,. of defence ; and a
corps d'armee was to be complete by the end •f the
moi.th, to consist of 40,000 troops of the line, in the finest
order. A decree had been issued to the Governors of
the Provinces, urging them to bring forward their re-
spective contingents of recruits, when the whole army of
regulars would amount to sixty thousand men. The ad-
vice. received from the provinces mention, that the local
Authorities Lad met with every facilityin obtaining men,

deiteral Rego had returned to Portugal, by the way
of Astorga. after penetrating into Spun as far as Gra-
' defer, five leagues beyond Leon. and on the road to
Burgos. It appears that the Portuguese General thought
proper to retern, iu order not to compromise his Go-
vernmen., in the delicate attic of the question of inva-
sion with France, as he had already advanced consider-
ably beyond the line of the French, who had reached
Valladolid. When he determined on a retrograde mo-
tion, he was 16 leagues distant from Amirante, and
the Portuguese rebels who were making' for the Freed,
camp. General Murillo was expected at Leon, on
the 25th ult., in order to organise the fourth artny.—
General Rego had reached as far as eighteen leagues
from the advance of the French, formed by the Guerillas
of Quesaiti, Merino, and Cuebillas. Since Amarante pene-
trated Into Spain,so rapid hail been Isis movements forwards,

FALCONRY,

It may not perhaps be known to the generality of nor
readers that the ancient pastime of Heron Hawking is
still carried on in this county. A Correspondent of ours
in the neirkbourbood has favoured us with the following
account of it :

Ten cast of Hawks, with four Falconers, natives of
Germany, to which country they repair annually in the
autumn, to catch a supply of Hawks for the ensuing sea-
son, is kept at Ditilington Hall, the seat of Major Wil-
son. near to which there is an extensive Heronry. Every
afternoon during the months of May and June, the Fal-
coners are in attendance with the Hawks in that spot
which from the position of the wind is judged to he most
favourable to the sport, where they are met by a very
large party of the ladies and gentlemen of the neighbour-
hood, who with their friends from distant counties, who
visit.them to enjoy the diversion, have frequently been
seen to exceed the number of one hundred and fifty
persons.
The season of 1822 was very favourable to the sport,
one hundred and seventy-three Herons having been taken.
This season the Falconers have not been so fortunate, in
conetvence of the severity of the winter, which is sup-
porod to have destroyed many of the Herons, but the
length of the flights and the superior excellence and good
training of the Hawks has much surpassed any preceding
year.
A description of a flight which took place in Mund.
ford field, a few days back, will give a faint idea of the
enthusiasm with which this sport is pursued. A He-
ron on its way from the Heronry to the Fens, was seen
at a considerable distance going down wind. He was
so far off, that the Falconers hesitated whether they
could venture to unhood their Hawks ; but one of them
having luckily upon his wrist a famous Hawk, in whom
he had great confidence. cast him off alone. It made in-
stantly at the Heron, aho mounted higher into the air.
though still advancing rapidly in his course. The
whole field was instantly in motion, and time persons
only who, have bunted with some of our crack packs of
Foxhounds, can form an idea of the ardor wjth which
each person, including the ladies, strove to be foremost.
The Hawk made nungierless stoops at the Heron, which
his activity and stoutness enabled him to avoid; and it
was not till some time after the birds had reased to be
visible to the chief part of the field, that the Hawk was
able after repeatedly striking his q' any, to iring him
to the ground. The flight was so r. pod, tha. of the nu
oserous party who started with the Hawk, not more than
four or five persons were op at this interesting moment.
It lasted 26 minutes, and the distance from point to
point exceeds six miles. The height to winch the
birds rose was so great, th►t to use an expression of the
Falconers, " they were six steeples in the air, no big-
ger than Humble Bees." It is to be wished, that this
noble diversion may consinue to be supported, as there
now remain so few Heronirs in England, and the coon
try in general is so much enclosed, that it is nearly i,n
possible to revive the sport elsewhere —Norfolk Chron

BIAPEMENT.

An unusual bustle wu created at Aylesbury on Wed-
nesday afternoon. A post chaise and four drove into the
town at a rapid rate, and stopped at the White Hart inn,
to change horses. A gentleman and lady alighted, who
evinced much anxiety to proceed immediately; but be-
fore fresh horses could be procured, the sound of wheels
was heatkl, and the lady, apparently much terrified,
darted into the Oxford Arms public-house, about 30
yards from the White Hart, and directly ran up stairs.
The gentleman followed her into the house. The lady
baring ascertained that the noise she had beard pro-
ceeded from the Kidderminster coach, became more cow-
posed, and they left the house together. They had, how-
Hover, proceeded only a few paces, when another
gentleman, who had alighted trom the Kiddermin-
later coach, collared the lady's companion, and
knocked him down without ceremony. A scene
of confusion and altercation ensued, and the
parties seemed to hostile and violent that a peace-
officer interfered, each of the gentlemen giving charge
lof the other, and they all went into a room in the White
Hart Inn. In about half an hoar another post-chaise
and four arrived.containing the lady's mo.'ier and uncles
who immediately ted the authority arising from
their relationship to the care of the young lady's person,
and dismissed the constable with a handsome present.—
It appeared that the young lady, who is apparently about
19 years of age, and said to be an heiress entitled to
45,0001. on coming of age, had eloped with her compa-
nion, an officer of the army, from Cheltenham, on the
preceding night, and was on their way to the temple of
Hymen, at Gretna Omen. when this untoward interruption
occurred. We uoderstand that the gentleman who ex-,
ercised his prowess by knocking the gallant down was a
friend of of the lady's mother, who having tired his horse
in pursuit of the fair fugitive, bad mounted the Kidder-
minster coach only a few miles from Aylesbury, and was
thus enabled to arrive just in time to arrest her further
flight. The young lady left the town to return home
with her mother about seven o'clock the same evening ;
and the disappointed son of Mars went to London the
next morning hyena of the coaches.—(Bucks Gazette.)
The different.* .between the weavers and clothiers of
Frome appear to be settled ; the foriLer, finding the vi-
sionary scheme ofcouspelling their employers to pay such
wages as they required, to be deter aaa itt edly resisted, they
have solicited work at the old price, and even at a reduc-
tion, and are mostly returned to their former industrious
habits. On Wednesday last a clothier at Frome was
need by the Magistrates of the Division 201. for paying
• workman in track, or goods, instead of cash, as his
wag es.--(Bad Herald )

THE STATESMAN

JUVENILE FETE, VAUXHALL GARDENS.
On Saturday evening these Gardens presented a scene
of the most animating description, from the numerous at.
tendance of youthful visiters. lt was a pleasing sight to
observe the gay and happy .groupes with countenances
full of astonishment and pleasure, promenading the bril.
liant walks of this fairy land. Vauxhall was never open.
ed to a more appropriate end admiring clue of spectators
than this fete congregated. Fantoccini, Cinderella, Cos-
moramu, and in fact, all the amusements. excited un-
qualified approbation. We mast not dismis the ballet of
Cinderella without further notice, as it was very roper•
ly reproduced for this evening. It excited considerable
interest and applause from its fanciful decoration and
nursery popularity. The fireworks scintillated and vari.
ed with their usual versatility and brilliancy. The corn.
puny was numerous and respectalde, and appeared high-
y gratified with- the evening's entertainment. We
should suppose, on a moderate computation, that the num-
ber of persons present exceeded eight thousand.

BOURBON WAR.

it seems that the French are just about to enter Spain.
The news from the latter country is not at all to be re-
lied on ; nor is there any thing of a definite character
about it. That we shall remain at peace, steins evi.
dent enough. The COURICR of last night blackguards
the Spaniards: fairly blackguards them; does not talk
of neutrality, even, but insists upon the necessity of
putting an end to the revolution outright; and, really,
we think it has some notion that the Government will
take part in the war agai4st the Spaniards. It is im-
possible that the fellow who writes this paper should
write it of big own hrud. However, we shall soon have ;
or we ought soon to have, copies of the papers relating
to the negociltions at Verona and at Paris. These pa-
pers will he worth reading. When we get them we shill
see what our pretty gentlemen have been at. We shall
ve,above all things, what sort of a shield they have
been endeavouring to throw over the Peninsula.

an conveyed tban they user to be, they have been carri-
ed someemer In a very careless manner ; and the great
se ptet;onPt thievesto get hold of such parcels was, they
knew it was only co-nmon larceny, and thepunishment,
if they were convicted, was only seven years transporta-
tion :and a lucky hit might put them in possesston of
five or six thousand pounds.
Ha* you had an oppor uni,y of observing whether
crimes increase in the neighbourhood of London when
fairs take place ?—1 think, generally speaking, crimes
are more prevalent' at fair dines; there are a certain
r.einber of Idle and dissolute persons go about and fre-
quent fairs, icd a system of pilfering and cheating is
carried on at those fairs ; but I am not aware of any par-
ticular increase of crimes having taken place.
Do pa think that one of the reasons why so many
children of the metropolis have been corrupted of late
yr,' rot is the extent to which •the fairs of late, years have
gone ?—1 think the great number of fairs in the imme-
diate vicinity of London, and in London itself, are cal-
culated to do a great deal of mischief, in corrupting the
youth'of both sexes, and undermining the principles of
young people by the scenes of vice and &butchery car-
ried on there, which are abominable.
Do you think it desirable that all the broths or shops
in fairs should be shut up. at a certain hour at night ?
NO doubt it would he desirable ; late bows either at fairs
in the country, or in London,.are very objectionable,
the number of young people who go to Camberwell,
Greenwich„Packham, West End, Brook Breen, and Tat-
till Fields fain, is very great; there is almost a continual
soccession of those fairs in the summer time, and it be-
irtg light a great part of the night, young people are
tempted to remain out; and, led by example and oppor-
tunity to witness scenes of drunkenness, vice, debauchery.
and obseenttyptevery description, they are induced to re
rain in the booths until they are ashamed to go home,
atul then they ramble about in the fields until the
morning, and get home just before their parents or mas-
ters get up.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

-.....
HOUSE OF LORDS.—Wertxmas, MARcH 12.
London, England, 1823-01-21

THE WEATHER.

The rigodr of the frost very rapidly increased between
Saturday and Sunday morning. On Saturday morning
at eight o'clock, the thermometer in the Strand, front
which our reports are taken, stood at 29: and en Sunday
at the same boor it was at 12. This was a degree to
which it bad not sunk for many years, and was
the ino,re rensarable as the wind had at that time
turned round to the south west ; but we are Informed,
by an old and accurate observer (Mr. Cary, of the
Strand) that, about twohttid twenty years ago, when the
thermometer fell to 4iffeits, the wind was in the same
quarter. The extrime de }free of cold, during the pre-
ceding night, as we have ascertained from night ther-
mometers, kept by Mr. Jones, was but little lower. A
thermometer of that kind, at hie house, at ebarieg-
cross, stood at 11 degrees, and another, at his house,
at South Lambeth, stood at 10 degrees. A third,
at Pentonville, we are assured, was so low as se-
ven, and, a morning paper, with the accuracy of
whose information we are, of course, unacquainted,
states the degree to which the mercury fell at East Orin-
stead, to have been fire. At a futere opportunity, we
shall take occasion to show, from the beat authorities we
can consult, the low degrees at which the thermometer
bas been observed, for the last half century. In the
mean time, we can state, that the lowest degree we have
within that period, is from an observation
of die Rev. Gilbert White, of Selborne, whose accuracy
and fldeHty were well known to every naturalist. In
the summary of the weather, from the year 1768 to
1793, annexed *obis Natural History of Selborne, it is
recorded, that on Masher 10, 1784, the thermometer
was 1 degree Wow, 0.
On Sunday, the thermometer, in the Strand, to which
we have referred was as follows :
At eight o'clock, 12 ; at one, 24 ; and at eleven at
night, 18.
Yesterday, at eight, 20 ; at ten, when it might have
been expected to rase, as the day had advanced, only 18;
at one, 4; and at eleven, 30.
This day, at eight, 30; and at one, 32 •, with the mer-
cury In the barometer rising, and indicating some
change in the atmosphere.
Accounts from Palls. from the 19th Inst. state that the
Seine bad been frozen over, and that the weather had been
far mere severe, and the changes more madden and extraor-
dinary than In this country-. A private letter from Paris
says. that on Tuesday last Reaumur's thermometer was 12
41qtreee below the freezing point, (or between 6 and 7 of Fa-
he ll) and the river appeared a field of solid lee ; whilst on
the very next day the Mercury was only one degree below
the freezing point, and the river bad begun to any.
