Dbath of a Swordsman. —The late Sir Robert Horace Beauchamp Seymour, M.P. for Lisburn, I distinguished himself most briliantly in the cavalry charges at Waterloo ; and he is reported to have slain more than any other single hand, not even excepting the renowned life-guards-man, —Shaw. Sir Horatio had the reputation of being the first swoulsman of the day, added to which he was a man of immense height and weight, with very long and powerful arms. Mankind had long disputed at the Cape, About the devil's colonr and his shape : The white man had declared him black as night, The nigger sturdily pronounced him white; But now they split the difference and say, The thing is certain that Old Nick is " Grey."
