A NOT H PED EST RI AN. .-1114:11Urd Toombs, a chandler or
Monmouth, hay undertaken to walk
.ftyTee3 hundre,/ miks
in me thonsand irons, in the Chippinham 'Alead or Itace
Course, adjoining the town. On Tuesdoy, exactly at 21
minutes befuieseven i.e started and returned to the tent pre-
cisely at 23 minutes after seven, being a gnat ter of an hour
each mile, and started again at 9.3 minutei betbrc nine, and
returnei again 2'4 minutes 13 seconds after nine, when he
took brea!:tast. The lest he will obtain between each starting,
%vit.( be upon tlle.average an hour and (palter. '1 ooinbs stand.;
about ft% e feLl tive scout made, particulai v his j.
and what is generally termed in this part of the country, a-
thick set man, and very firm in his step. His featwes bear a
most striking resenthlance to that tacetiant character Grimaldi.
He has already been taken much notice of by the principal
persons vcsideotl:ci.e, and a subscription is already commenced.
The hail of Galloway has settled with his tenants, that in
future their rents shall be regulated by the price of corn.

An eYperklent of great-simplicity in the mode of drawing
heavy loads along the streets and public roads, was tried oti
Saturday last by Messrs. Feaion and \Vest, of the Beaufort
Buildings Coal \V hart.; it was to ascei tain how far the drauTht•
of their heavy coal waggons up the immense steep into cite
St; and, might be relieved by [moving- one pair of the horses
from the front to the hind liar t of the waggon ; for this purpose
a pair of shafts reversed were attached to the back of the car-
riage, and horses which have hitherto been used to pull, were
now, for the lust time, seen to push the load before them. It
is astoniiiing that this idea never occurred before, finr it is as
clear as any problem in Euclid, that the nearer the power is to
the load the less draught is r equired, and thus a coal wawon,
with two horses before and two behind, whereby the whole of
the power is placed in such immediate contact with the
draw it along to time full as ea.,ily as seven hunts have
been accustomed to du that work.
