A man engaged to run twelve sulks in one hour and eight ml. nutes. There were two flags erected by way of goals, at the distance of half a mile from each other, and the pedestrian set off from the Hare and Billet at seven o'clock in the evening, run ning from one flag to the otber_till he accomplished his task.— The first mile he performed in five minutes, the second and third in six, and the rest in six and a half or six and a quarter. He won by a minute and a half, and was received with great applause on reaching the final goal, and carried to lhc Hare and Billet in triumph. Sosan TfIZATItt.-- Last night a dramatic version of the last of the Scottish Novels was produced at this Theatre, entitled " The Fortunes of Nigel ; or, ling James I. and his Thies." It embraces all the most striking incidents of the Novel cleverly combined, and with a considerable portion of the language of the originaL The mixture of serious and comic, passing front " grave to gay, from lively to severe," continued the interest unabated through out the whole of the three acts. The scenery, which is new, is very beautiful ; and the Piece was well played, particularly the characters of Nigel, by Mr. Boaaouous, the enterprising Manager of the Surrey; that of Sing James, by Banaotion; Bichie Mortiplies, by Wasrox ; and Trephine, the Usurer, by liccauronase : the last was a piece of admirable acting, hich would have done credit to any Stage. Miss P. Gtoves, who made a successful debut at Drury-Lane Theatre , sustained the part of Margaret Ramsay, and her sister that of Miss Cristie. They are two promising young Ladies, and net only played with much spirit, but sung very sweetly, and were encored. The Drama was given out for repetition amidst the cheers of a , crowded and fashionable audience. ---- Bow-num—A Miss B. the sister of an actress, was yester day brought to this Office, charged with having stolen same ar ticles, the property of her mother, who urged in excuse for thus accusing her daughter, that she did it in order to prevent her ruin, as she had eloped from home. Miss B. on the contrary, stated she had left her mother merely because of her having at tempted to seduce her to become the mistress of a Lord P. with whom she had been privy to her being confined in a room for several hours, and whose designs it required her utmost efforts successfully to resist. The mother recriminated; but the gene ral feeling was decidedly in favour of the girl, wheat an honour able and humane Gentleman , who bad previotidy espended money on her education, had engaged to protect, arain:st the persevering efforts of Lord P.,without any improper motive whatever. The Magistrate applauded the conduct of this Gen demur, and the girl, who is only fifteen, was ordered to be placed under the care of a female friend, approved by both parties. Town Hata., Soirrnwaat.—A young Lady of family was charged by the abopman af a linen-draper, on Margaret's Hill, with stealing a handkerchief while buying some articles with her mother. The handkerchief having been found upon her, an officer was sent for, into his hands the Lady was delivered, and she was taken to the Borough C.ompter, where else remained I all night. Yesterday she was brought up in the custody of Mr. ' Law, the Keeper, below Alderman 3. 3. Bum, at this 06ce, who sat in hie private room. haat being clearly proved windier or not the hanaerridef was stolen, or taken away by accident, Nee Lady was discharged, and delivered up so her friends, who coavcycil her home in &term CaliftAgt.

R Lord EDESDA LE-presented three Petitions from the County of Northumberland against the Corn Regulation 1314 as not fixing on any price at which the corn ought to be sold. Lord CALTHORPE presented five Petitions to the same effect, from different parts of the County of Suffolk. His Lewd ship also presented a Petition from the Inhabitaxts of Bride Precinct, in favour of the Bill for preventing cruelty to animals. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a Petition from, certain Owners and Occupiers of Land in the County of Dorset , against the Corn Bill. NAVAL AND MILITARY WISIONS. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second • reading of the Bill then before the House, - for com muting the Half-pay of Naval and Military Officers; and in doing so he said be felt it necessary to era plain to their Lordships so much of the financial sys tem of the country as was connected with this mea sure. In all the discussions that had taken place upon our Peace Establishment, it was represented to be so large as to include many charges which never existed before. The half-pay given to persons who had served in the army and navy, amounting to more than five millions annually, was greater than the whole of our Peace Establishment after the con clusion of the American war. In consequence, there fore, of the largeness of thisaum, and the heavy bur den it must be to the country, it had been thought ' better to transfer it from a Peace Establishment to a portion of the National Debt, in order that immediate relief might thereby be given to the country: The first lnesuon that naturally occurred in the consi deration of this business was, whether the thing might not be effected by an arrangement with the parties receiving pensions; so as that, in lieu of their half pay, they might take a less amount in annuities for a given number of years—a measure which would cer tainly be very fair in itself. This was the first idea which occurred to his Majesty's Ministers; but when narrowly looked into, it was found to be impracti cable. Many could not live on a less income than they now received, and a great part of , them had a dormant duty to perform, because they might at any time be called into the service again at the will of ' the Crown ; and then if they refused the call, they forfeited their halflpay. Therefore it was judged proper to form them in a different manner, and on terms that would be advantageous to the country. The most advisable course was therefore held to be, to make an arrangement with certain contractors for the payment of the annuities, and allow them annui ties for a given number of years. The object of the Government was, to make an advantageous bargain for the Public, while at the same time tt was not to interfere with the Sinking Fund. The five millions now given to half-pay Officers was as much a Na tional Debt as the 800 millions which the nation owed. It was an annual debt of five millions, and the proposal was to take off nearly one-half of it by giving annuities for forty-five years, at the end of which time the whole debt would be at an end. The question then was, whether this was an advantageous bargain for the Public? and he contended that it was; for the burden was never to be greater than what we took on ourselves: the object was to take an average sum of £2,800,000 to be paid for forty-five years. He considered this as a most equitable arrangement for the present generation, as well as posterity, as it equalized the burden on the country, and gave to it an immediate relief. This was the general outline of the measure, and he conceiveckit a most equitable transaction. Here the Noble Earl entered into a statement of the particulars of the measure as they have already been stated during the proceedings in the House of Commons. The Noble Earl next took • occasion to notice the Sinking Fund, to which he said the country must always look up as a source of relief: at the same time he must repeat what he had said before, that he did not think a reduction of tax ation would relieve the distresses under which the agriculturists now laboured. The principle of the Sinking Fund as now established was this, that as in time of war there must be a necessity for contracting large debts and increasing taxation, so in time of peace, it was the duty of Parliament to lower the debt by means of a Sinking Fund, which would at once relieve the country and uphold the public credit. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that as he had, at the beginning of the Session, urged upon their Lordships the necessity of making a great reduc tion in the taxes, and as the present measure was cal culated to effect that purpose, it would be impossible for him now to refuse his assent to its general prin. ciple ; at the same time, he thought it a most extra ordinary mode of proceeding for the Noble Earl to keep op a Sinking Fund of five millions with a view of extinguishing a part of the Public Debt, while he was creating a new debt, the interest of which would amount to 4:2,800,000 a year, and by which a corresponding burden was to be thrown on posterity. By this measure they were depriving poi terity of a relief to which it was legitimately en titled. He wished their Lordships to see what were the operations of this measure with regard to the Sinking Fund. There were certain Commis sioners for managing the Sinking Fund, whose busi ness was to reduce the National Debt ; and there was also a set of Commissioners, being probably the same persons, appointed under this Bill, whose business it was to create a debt. The same parties, therefore, would be contracting and discharging debts at One and the same time. It was proper to see what ars effect this system would have on the Stock market, the interests of which must always be affected in the same manner as those of other markets. He would put a case exactly similar to this :—Suppose a farmer should go into the Corn market, and there, repre senting himself as the agent of- some Gentleman, buy up a quantity of corn, "high he should say that his 1 1 5 2 2 dr 4 dr 5 dr 6 dr ,f ~3 i~ i . j ii In a few days will be published, in Two thick Tots.
