FIFTEEN RUN.DP
—ED MILES IN A
THOUSAND HOURS.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
The astonishing feat if walking 1,500 miles in
1,000 hours—commencing each mile and a half with
each successive hour—was completed at the Borough
Gardens, Salford, on Saturday morning, by James
Jones. We have noticed Jcnes's progress several times
during the six weeks he has been engaged in his un-
dertaking ; and we need only add that, as was foreseen,
his nervous excitement became very great during his
walking on Friday night and Saturday morning. It
was during this time that his medical attendants had
the greatest fear that brain fever might result ; for
although Jones has on the whole suffered less in this
respect than might have been anticipated, it was felt
that the excitement caused by the near completion of
his task might readily prove too much for him, if it
did not result fatally. On Saturday morning the con-
course of spectators in the gardens was very large, and
much inte .est, and even sympathy, was manifested
when Jones appeared .4)r his last start at eleven
o'clock. Having just shpt soundly, he was then cool
and easy, and conversed with his friends, saying
that he was sure he could finish by doing the mile
and a half in thirteen minutes ; his pulse was then at
74, being very little fester than that of a healthy man.
He completed his distance, and his work, in 12 mi-
nutes 58 seconds; but during that time he had be-
come so fearfully excited—probably as much from
the presence and enthusiasm of the spectators and
the tones of a band of music, as from his own exer-
tions—that when he went into the place where he
has slept, it was found that his pulse had risen to
126. He continued very restless, and all the attempts
made to induce sleet entirely failed. Mr. Storey,
druggist, of Salford (who has been a good deal in
attendance upon Jones) with Mr. lloyle, surgeon, and
others, strongly advised that Jones should not be al-
lowed to commence waling the 100 quarter-miles in
as many successive quarter-hours, which he had re-
solved to do at six o'clock in the evening ; but,
although Jones did not sleep, he was resolved to go
through his second task, and started according to ar-
rangement. His feet were fortunately in very good
condition, and, with the exception of the excite-
ment mentioned, he had been more easy during
the previous day than on several days during
the six weeks ; so that he was most sanguine
of succeeding. 'When Mr. Storey left the gardens
in the evening, he insisted that if Jones did fall asleep
during any one of his brief intervals of rest from
walking, he should not be again aroused to resume
his task. About midnight he was found to be asleep
immediately on lying down, and he was accordingly
allowed to sleep until five o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. He then again commenced walking, and con-
tinued to walk the quarter miles until seven in the
evening, at which time he would have completed the
100, had not exhausted nature demanded rest. The
fact of the break which had occurred during the
night was fairly made known to the thousands who
flocked to the gardens during Sunday, whose
payments for admission were all Jones received
for. his continued exertion after the completion of his
first terrible task. The 1001. promised to Jones by
the proprietor of the gardens, when he undertook his
perfectly unapproached feat, were paid to him at
three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. It is under-
stood that Jones never before attempted anything like
a pedestrian feat, except on one occasion, when he
walked seven miles in less than an hour ; but he has
now proved himself possessed of powers of endurance
such as have never before been exhibited. The feat

of Captain Barclay is of crurse quite outdone by this
one of J Dur;ng the six vv,l-ks Junts
has, upoa the average, consumed Glb. of flesh meat
per day ; and it is believed that he is now
some 20Ib. lighter than when he commenced. The
average time occupied in walking the mile and a-half,
has been 19 to 21 minutes ; and it is said that on
several occasions (once on two successive hours) he
walked his distance when he was so unconscious,
being apparently asleep, that he would have gone for-
ward in a straight line, but that be was accompanied
by men who guided him at the different turns. We
understand that now, Jones's general bodily condition
is good, that the excitement of the brain has gradually
ceased, and that there is no reason to believe that he
has been injuriously affected by the fearful state of
tension in which he has so long kept himself.

PROGRESS OF THE LIVERPOOL DOCK
ESTATE.

The account,: of the trustees of the Liverpool Docks
for the year ending the 24th of June last, give a most
satisfactory exposition of the state of the vast property
under their control, and of the growing prosperity of
the port. The dues on tonnage received during the
year have been 137,7541. Os. 5d.; on foreign goods in-
wards, 86,4021. 3s. 5d.; and outwards, 22,5301. Is. 10d.,
making a total amount of 246,6861. ss. Bd. The interest
on bonds amounts to 202,3741. 13s. 3d., leaving a margin
for ordinary expenditure of 44,311/. 12s. sd. The ba-
lance in the bands of the bankers and treasurer has in-
creased from 103,148/. 15s. 11d. at the commencement of
the year to 135,096/. Os. 3d. at the close. There has
been received on bond 592,9441. 7s. 10d., which is ac-
counted for by the repayment of money borrowed and
the cost of property purchased. The lighthouse duties
have been 11,543/. 14s. 10d.; floating light duties, 5,092/.
2s. 3d. ; graving dock duties, 15,645/. 135.; and graving
block duties, 2,289/. 4s. The Albert dock warehouses
have produced for rates and rent 60,201/. 14s. 3d., the
working expenditure being 36,2584 6s. 6d. A
table embodied with the accounts, showing the
amount of dock duties at the port of Liverpool
from the year 1752 exhibits the most remarkable history
of progress which has aver been noticed in this or any
other country. In 1752 the amount received for tonnage
dues in Liverpool was 1,7761. Bs. 2d.; and in the closing
year of the century, 1799, it was 14,049/. 15s. id., or
nearly eightfold. In the following year it took a most
surprising leap, reaching 23,379/. 13s. 6d.; and in 1810
it had reached 65,7821. Is. From this point it declined
during the next three years, when it began again to in-
crease, and has steadily progressed, until we have in
the past year an amount of 246,686/. ss. Bd. This, how-
ever, does not show fully the amazing improvement
which has taken place during the past 16 years, for on
the 25th of September, 1846, there was a reduction
made in the rates of 38i per cent. On the Ist of Decem-
ber, 1844, a reduction was made in the tonnage dues on
East India vessels of 33 per cent., or about 18 per cent.
on the aggregate of foreign voyages. Again, in 1848,
whilst Mr. Bramley Moore was dock chairman, a further
redaction was made, amounting to 40,0001. Our pro-
gress during the past half century is best ascertained by
the number of the vessels and the tonnage of the port.
In 1800 the number of vessels was 4,746, and the ton-
nage 450,060 tons. In 1852 the number of vessels had
reached 21,473, with a tonnage of 3,912,506 tons, or
above eightfold the tonnage of 1800. Liverpool

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Sept. 28.

BEALE V. CHAPMAN-CATHERINE HAYES, DEFENDANT.
This was an attachment under the custom of
London against Catherine Hayes, the celebrated
singer, to recover the sum of 3,0001., due to Thomas
Frederick Beale. The attachment was made of money
belonging to the defendant, in the hands of the Union
Bank of London.

Mr. Ryland and Mr. Locke appeared for the plain-
tiff, and called

Richard Houghton, assistant manager of the bank,
who proved that they had upwards of 3,0001. in their
hands, the property of the lady. Neither the gar-
nishee nor the defendant appeared by counsel, and a
verdict was found for the plaintiff for 3,0001.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARY LEBONE.
Two well-dressed young men, John Gosney: 23,
William-street, Regent's-park, and George Tayton,
80, Bridgewater-street, Somers-town, were brought
before Mr. Broughton, charged with drunkenness and
disorderly conduct in the Zoological-gardens, Re-
gent's-park, and with wantonly injuring a badger, by
administering to it some gin.
William Nixey, 19, Windsor-street, City-road,
deposed, that on the previous afternoon, about four
o'olock, he was in the gardens, and saw the prisoners,
one of whom (Gosney) gave some gin from a bottle to
a wolf, after which he gave the animal a biscuit, and
then threw some gin into its mouth. lie then gave
some of the like spirit to an Esquimaux dog, by
throwing it from a glasa ; and in addition to these
freaks he offered a piece of biscuit to a badger.
Upon the animal opening its mouth to seize the
morsel he introduced therein the neck of the bottle,
from which no doubt a quantity of gin had passed
down the animal's throat ; it rolled and floundered
about its cage, and he (Gosney) then struck a blow
at it between the wires, the consequence of which
was that the bottle broke, and a portion of the frag-
ments went into the cage. The prisoners were both
drunk.

Mr. John Thompson, superintendent of the gar-
dens, said he did not witness the administering of the
gin, but he had seen the badger since ; it did not ap-
pear to have been hurt. At the station-house the
prisoners, who were the worse for drink, were ex-
tremely abusive.

Croome, 176 S, stated that he took the prisoners
into custody, and that they said they were not aware
they had done any harm. Gosnay was very abusive,
and aimed a blow at witness, but fortunately he
avoided it.

Gooney, in answer to the charge, denied having
aimed any blow at the officer, and said that he did not
out of any ill-feeling give gin to the animals ; he
merely put the bottle to their mouths, to see if they
objected to it.
Tayton admitted being somewhat overcome by
liquor;and added, that as Lo the administration of the
gin be had nothing whatever to do with it. He saw
a biscuit given to one of the animals by his friend,
and he knew no more abou 4.", the matter.
Mr. BROUGHTON, after reviewing carefully the
whole of the evidence adduced, came to the conclu-
sion that no real mischief was intended towards the
animals, but that the conduct of the prisoners for
going drunk into the gardens was reprehensible in
the extreme.

Gusney was amerced in a penalty of 303., or a
month's imprisonment, for assaulting the officer ; and
Tayton was fined 6s. for being drunk.

LAMBETH.
Thomas Illeghan, a ruffianly-looking cab-driver,
was finally examined before Mr. Elliott on a charge of
violently assaulting Emily Scott, and throwing over
her person, and that of another woman named Eliza
Disney, a quantity of corrosive fluid, which destroyed
their dresses.

Emily Scott deposed that on the night of Thursday
week, between ten and eleven o'clock, she was stand-
ing close to the Royal Oak public-house in Granby-
street, Waterloo-road, when the prisoner, who used
to live with her at different; times, and whom she had
supported by her prostitu Lion for a length of time,
came up to her and asked 'v here she was going. She
replied, " Over the water ;" upon which he told her
she had better not. She said she should, and he in-
stantly struck her a violent blow with his right hand,
and with his left poured something over her from a
bottle. A female friend of hers, Eliza Disney, came
up to her assistance, and the prisoner threw some of
the stuff over her shawl an .d destroyed it, as well as
witness's dress.

Elise Disney said she wts present at the time, and
saw him strike and kick the last witness in a most
brutal manner, and also throw something over her,
which destroyed her dress and bonnet. The prisoner
also threw some of the stuff over her shawl, and com-
pletely destroyed it, burning a large piece right out.
A cabman who had witnessed the outrage confirmed
the testimony of both the witnesses, and
Scott having been recalled said, in answer to the
Magistrate's questions, that the prisoner had fre-
quently threatened her that if he could not blind her
by kicks or blows he would by some other means,
and that when she turned him up he would leave her
in such a state that no other person would look at her.
The dress and bonnet worn by the complainant at
the time, and also the shawl of the young woman
Disney, were produced, and were completely disco-
loured, burnt, and destroyed by some strong corrosive
liquid.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that he
was the worse for liquor at the time, and admitted
the assault, but denied having thrown a liquid of any
kind over the complainants.
Mr. ELLIOT said it was very fortunate for him
that the fluid, which there could be no doubt he had
thrown over the women, had neither burnt, maimed,
disfigured, nor done them some other grievous bodily
harm, for, if so, his offence would have amounted to
one of felony, for which he might have been tran-
sported for the term of his natural life. His offence,
however, was one of a most unmanly and dastardly
character, and for it he should sentence him, in the
first instance, to a penalty of 31., or one month'sim-
prisonment, for the assault on the woman Scott ;
in
the next place, he must pay a further sum of 10s., or
10 days' imprisonment, for the injuries done
P: to the
e,
apparel of the same person ; and, in the third 1
he should adjudge him to pay the sum of 20s;nra12an°
days, for the injury done to the shawl of the
Disney.

Messrs. Taylor and Brig ht's Circular states:—The

anything choice making a trifle more money. Arrivals
of foreign are insignificant; good fresh qualities would
meet ready sale from ship. Nothing of moment yet
doing in malting barley, hut grinding qualities are scarce
and in request. The firmness in London hardly yet
affects our oat market. Beans are slower sale at the ad-
vance, but stocks are much reduced. We get fairly
supplied with cotchels of new liamburgh beans by each.
