With:n the last there nacrt:is, a commo dious bridge has been erected Over the canal sn this part of the road. From this doom t> Rothrrhithe, the canal has lung since been cut ; and scarcely any thing is now wanting to set it wu king. bat the completion of the towing piths. To o.,siate the difficulty of obtaining water, along the elevited grounds, over which the canal passes, between Sydealsam and New Cross, several large reservoirs have been formed. The chief ot these is on Sydini ham Common, whet e it has more the appearance of a large lake than a pond. It is a c.intrete exca vation, of an oblong torrn, occupying upwards ot thirty acres, and is several feet above the level of the canal, from which it is about fifty yarns dis tant, and into which the water can be conveyed through sluice,, whenever it is required. Such is the descent near the Deptford-road, notwithstand ing the great depth to which the cut was made. that, witnin the space of a quarter of a mile, there are no less than nine or ten gates, at tai..ll ut which there are reservoirs to catch the rain, and collateral cuts near the bottom to receive the springs. This canal will considerably facilitate the tracte between the metropolis and the counties of Surrey and Ken:. PEDESTRIAN PAR tr)RSIANCE. The march between Captain Barclay and Wood has given rise t) another in Hampshire, which WAS decided at II o'clock on Friday night, near Lindburst ; a man of the name of Campbell, who resides at Dowton Wilts, who bad performed pedestrian wonders for trifling wagers, was match ed by a Captain Hamby, to go fur twelve hours on a piece of chosen ground on the New Forest, against a man of the name of Wall, a hawker on the Bah road. The pedestrians started about four miles from Christchurch, at II o'clock on Friday morning, and the general bet tiogs were that trey did not go 72 lodes. They were attended ova the heath by a concourse of basemen, and the compass of the excursion not be ing more than 15 miles, the spectators had an excel lent view of the race. Wall seemed knocked up at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, having at that time gone Z 4 miles in the heat of the day. His opponent, who was close at his heels, passed him also fatigued; and after Wail had stretched himself on some straw for Ulan hour, he resumed the contest, and over took Campbell (who bad only stopped five minutes) at 9 o'clock. An interesting snuggle here ensued, and the competifors kept together until 10 o'clock, when Wall made an extraordinary push, and went nearly eight miles in the last hour, and beat his adversary by A mile and a half. The distanceper furiuml by the winner was 69 miles.
