Teretcricru Dar.—Mr. Smuts completed his ,r,O miles last night precisely at eight minutes past seven o'clock i and started this morning, in high spirits, at 18 minutes past six, and completed 50 miles at 39 minutes past six in the evening, being 50 miles per day for twenty successive says. MATCH OF TWILVE HUNDSED MILES. Maidstone, Dec. to; toil SzvorrirDAY.--At eight o'clock last night young TUFF= finished the sixth day's labour of 00 miles : he completed the last 11; miles in three hours, and anxiously wished to base accomplished ten miles more, but this w4a rejected by his friends. It is rworthy of remark, that be performed 32 miles of their yesterday's undertaking. The father set off at one o'clock this morning, and by siz, after having rested at intervals, he had gone 14 miles. The boy, by 25 minutes after seven, made good six miles and a quarter; at nine, Turret six miles ; and the boy, at ten, three miles ; when they left off till Divine Service was over, at twelves at half-past two o'clock they had accomplished 10i miles I at-half-past six, after having rested from half past two till four o'clock, nine miles and a quarter !• and three minutes betore nine o'clock they finished with 60 miles. The course was this day crowded with spectators. FEMALE PEDESTRIANISM. Saturday evening a match v..a4 made which is likely to excite a considerable degree of interest. This in tended Female Petlearian, whose name is MA av Fru IH, is the mother of six children, and is '36 years of age, residing in Maidstone : sLfe is to commence in a low days atter l'uffer and Son finishes, at the Roebuck lon, and for twenty successive days (as we ha‘re already.stated) is to perform 30 miles daily. Her'' friends, who are extremely numerous,. are offering con.iderable odds in her favour. This industrious Woman, it appears, has for many years frequently performed from mil) to miles a-day, travelling the country with different articles for sale, and afterwards returned home at night to her family. MATCH OP 'Apo MILES IN 1;100 SUCCESSIVE HOURS. Tijki BLAcKIICATH PZI)EsTRIAN.—EnTOX still 'con tinues to go on with every confidence of ultimate success; and having now accomplished the greatest part of leis enterprize, public opinion is in his favour. At. quarter past nine o'clock yesterday eveuing 644 finished 730 miles. INFRUDANT SKAITINO.—The eagerness of a num. ber of persons to enjoy . the diversion of skaiting as soon as the frost sets in, and hetore the ice is firm, has frequently led to fatal accidents, and we regret to learn that the experience of former seasons has not dirninkahed the impradenee. Yesterday a great crowd assembled at the Canal, in St. James's Park, and the pressure on the jcecaused one fatal accident, and had nearly produced several otl'..rs. About ten o'clock in the morning one person fell in, but was got out safe ; about two, another individual, of the name of BIAL, also fell in, lint was saved. Soon afterwards four men and a boy fell in; the men were got out about half-past three alive, but the boy was unhap. pity drowned; his body was found at five o'clock, and taken to St. Martin's Workhouse. Four water. men, named HeCrir, Woos, BRAlTilwAing, and Scam, deserve great praise for their active humanity in extricating the persons above alluded to. They, with the assistance of others, exerted themselves greatly with drags and ropes, had it not been for which more lives would probably have been lost. At the Serpentine, early in the afternoon, the ice sud denly' gave way, and about twenty persons, including 'a well.dressed woman and her hqband, were im mersed. A general cry proclaimed the horror and consternation of the assembled spectators. F.rtu nately for the sufferers ropes had been thrown across the river, and by the assistance of some adventurous persons, they were at length, with some difficulty, ettyicated. • The woman ? who was the first that sunk, was the last drawn np alive, through her in ability to assist herself. . She was dragged to land almost lifeless, but recovered, and was; borne home in men's 'rms. The husband was soon afterwards taken out, apparently lifeless, roma, 1 1 ,,uvreut.Ans.:—The body of one of the unfortunate persois wh'o fell into the •qeipentine River yesterday, and who was crossing the ice in company with his wife, sow lies far the Coroner's, !arrest in the fjospital Barracks, Knightsbridge. SO. /Feral Medical Gentlemen used all the means 0,, scribed for restoring drowned persons upwards of an hoar at a half yesterday afternoon,but without effect. We regret to add, that a shameless robbery was com mitted during the confusion occasioned by the above accidents. A young Gentleman, about 18 or 20 years of age, generously threw off his coat, hat, and waist coat, and after depositing them on the banks of the Serpentine, plunged in attd rescued several persons from drowning. On his return, amid the applauses of an • immense crowd of anxious and terrified spectators, it iras discovered that his clothes were carried off I We do not pretend *o be ac painted with the circumstances of the young Gen- Oman in question, but surely if the Ancients thought k worthy the erection of a statue svre the life of a fellow-creature, the Moderns ought to raise a subscrip , tine at least for the praiseworthy individual in ques iops t . .

His Lordship geoid recollect, that Mr. Beasley had s hot yet replied - to any of the charges against him ; it was not then thought ad- Visable ; but the business had taken such is frightful . shape, that his Counsel conceived they would not be• doing their duty, if they did not advise him to rebut, these charges, if he wild.

Tliis was an indictment against the defendant, a surgeon, fur inoculating children with the small pox, and cawing them to be carried to and from his house, through the public streets, while labouring under that disease. . . The ATTORNEY GENERAL, for the prosecution, 6 6 Your Lordship will, I am sure, excuse my saying a word or two urn the course we are about to pursue. Your Lordship has probably had an oppor tunity of lot.kit.g at the indictment, and a what is the subject of the prosecution. Those who think that it is or in:juke ituportatwe that the plague of the sniall pox should not infect the thetropolis, as far as human beings can prevent 4, have irutittited this prosecution, in conscluen-., cf its having been alleged hat the defendant has Loma in the practice of bringing great numbers of persons to his house for the purpose of being inoculated, and of causing them to pass through the streets in all directions, and in every stage of the disease. My learued friend, for the defendant, sayc that his senior Counsel is absent, and adds, what is much more important. that since this prosecution. the defendant has given directions that the practice complained of shall be prevented, and this being stated, I have no objectian that the • uial should stand over." Mr. .lisstiet. DATLEY (who sat fo. the Lord Phief Justice)—" I hope it is sufficient ly notorioui, that the c a using persons to pass through the street; who may hare that disorder upon them, although they are going to some p rson in whcrut they have confl detiiie, tor medical advice, is an indictable offence, and it that person, instead of attending them at their own houses, as he 171:ght dC, chooses to direct that they shall, from to time, 1).1 brought or come to him, there is no question that he is also liable to au indictment." The ATTORNEY•GENERAL." The few sentences which your Lordship has now pronounced, are of the highest itpportance to the community." . DEC. 9.— WILLIAM, 9. plumm. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the part owner of a trading vessel, called the Euphemia, of which vessel the 'defendant was Captain, and also part owner. The plaintiff now sought to recoils. it compensation in damage s for an assault committed on his person by defendant, whilst the Euphemia was lying in Malaga harbour. on the 2etli of October. Qn the day is creation, the defendant had been on shore, and returned on board about eight o'clock in the evening. Sonic part of the defendant's conduct, and amongst the rest an attempt to Isktrn the charter party under which the vessel had sailed, induced the plaintif to remonstrate with him ; in reply to which remonstrance, the defendant knocked him down. The plaintif got up, and on the defendant's calling for his pisto4, prudently retreated from the cabin to the deck ; the defendant followed, armed with a cut. lass, and when' on the deck struck'plain'tiff sever?' more ttluws with his fist and with a scrubbing broom, Which he picked ap off the deck 'the plaintiff, how. ever; to seoid a repetition of am violence, got into 'the boat to row to another %hip, which was at a little distaace ; the defendant,' on 'seeing this, took up a IntisVet, and, pointing it at boat, said, unless the plaintiff mite back, he would fire at bite, and did, in tact, pull the trigger several times; the piece, how. ' ever missed fire, and the plaintiff got tin board the vessel safely. The defendant 'then had one of the , ships guns brought round' and 'pointed at the vessel on board of which the plaintif was, and threatened to fire into her if the plahniff was not turned out. Owing to the precautions taken by the Mate of the Euphemia, howeVer, who bad removed all the pow. der from the place where it was usually kept, and concealed it, the defendant Was prevented carrying this th r eat into execution, Idis threats, however, de terred the plaintiff from returning on board the 4u pheraia, sad he was obliged to take his passage to gland on beard of another vessel.
