PEDESTRIANISM.
JACKSON (AMERICAN DEER) AND PUDNEY, OF MILE-
END, SIX MILES, FOR 201. A BIDE.—The race for 20 sous..
in whien Jackson gave his opponent 200 yards' start,
came off yesterday at the Royal Oak, Barking-road.
There was a considerable muster, and the anxiety of the
Eastenders to see the celebrated American Deer was
general. At five o'clock the men started by report of
pistol, the betting at that tiale being 5 to 4 on the Deer.
Pudney made the running at a good pace for the first
lap, but was about five yards deficient in speed, as com-
pared with Jackson. In th e second, twenty yards was
deducted from the start givo:a; and thus pretty regularly
he lost ground till the soventh lap (three of these laps
making nearly a mile). A t this point Jackson passed
Pudney two yards in front, and putting on the steam,
left his opponent easily. Pudney was stated, and indeed
he seemed to be, in anything but first-rate fettle. From
the ninth lap, in which Pudney gave in, Jackson ran
on alone, and completed the distance fresh and strong.
Time thirty-three minutes. The ground was tremen-
dously heavy.
A very exciting match took place yesterday morning
on the Bayswater-road between two gentlemen, amateurs,
to walk one mile, for a large sum—Mr. H. and Mr. 8.,
both residents of Marylebone. The match, although a
private one, was attended by a large muster of the sport•
ing world. The betting was injavour of Mr. H., who
was attended upon by the celebrated walker, Little
Jemmy O'Brien, and Mr. B. had the assistance of an
amateur, who trained him. The start took place at
seven A.M., when Mr. 11. dashed off with the lead,
which he maintained for i;tie first half mile, closely fol-
lowed by his opponent, some two or three yards behind,
when the pace began to tell on Mr. Il , who is a good
12st man. Mr. B. then put on the steam, went up, and,
after struggling several hundred yards together, he
passed Mr. H., and went in an easy winner by 20 yards.
The distance was done in 8 min. 55 secs., not bad work
for amateurs.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES IN A THOUSAND HOURS.
—James Jones, the young pedestrian who undertook to
perform this feat at the Borough Gardens, Manchester,
completed his task on Saturday morning, at ten o'clock.
Jones was so fresh and vigorous that he added a mile
and a half to the 1,500 miles which ho had undertaken.
His pulsation was declared by his surgeon, at the close,
to bo about 90, and he s^as full of animal spirits. After
three several sleeps, of an hour and a half, two hours,
and three hours, Jones was to commence, at six in the
evening on Saturday, to walk 100 quarter miles in 100
successive quarter hours, which (should he accomplish)
he would bring to a conclusion at seven o'clock on Sun-
day evening.

UNPRECEDENTED PEDESTRIAN FEAT.— One of the
most extraordinary efforts in the way of walking against
time has been commenced by Searles, the celebrated pedes-
trian. At half-past six on Monday evening last he entered
on the task of walking 2,000 miles in 2,000 successive half-
hours; so that, supposing he can accomplish each mile in a
quarter of an hour, he will be walking one entire half of the
time up to the expiration of the complement of the 1,000
hours. The place selected for this amazing display of phy-
sical prowess is a field behind the Pine Apple, High Park.
Up to Friday evening he bad accomplished nearly one-sixth
of his task, and exhibited no sign offlagging. Great numbers
of persons of all classess daily throng to the place to get a
look at this remarkable maxi, and innumerable bets of every
conceivable amount are perpetually being risked on the re-
sult, about which Searles is sufficiently confident to lay two
to one in favour of himself. Professional men say that his
powers of endurance are extraordinary. Ile abstains from

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
(From the Examiner.)
" Know thyself," said the Greek sage, and few men
have excelle I the Duke of 'Wellington in this point of
wisdom. He was in the secret of his own grand
successes, could count and measure the steps by
which he had mounted to his superiorities, and dis-
tinguish and define the qualities which had minis-
tered to his fortune and to his country's service.
First amongst his advantages he accounted his
exact knowledge of the mechanism of an army.
It was an instrument, every part of which he was
acquainted with, and every want of which he was ex-
perienced in supplying. He had graduated in the
learning of this instrument from the part of subaltern
to that of Commander-in-Chief in the school of Indian
warfare, which exacts an amount of care and skill far
exceeding what is required in European campaigns.
A good Indian general must especially have a
thorough comprehension of the business of the com-
missariat- To move his army he must know how to
feed it, and to transport its material, and of this main
business the Duks was a perfect master. From the
plains
of Hindostan to the fields of Portugal and
Spain Sir Arthur Wellesley carried the combination
in his own person of all the experience and skill re-
quisite for the direction and sustenance of an army.
He was not dependent on the efficiency of any subor-
dinates in any province of duty. No one could tell
him that this or that could not be done, and he could
detect at once any error or imperfection in the perform-
ance of any service. He was a soldier of all work, from
the camp kettle to the plan of a pitched battle. With
every detail he was familiar, and he could direct the
commissariat
as accurately as he could manoeuvre a
regiment or marshal a host in battle array. The
great captains to whom he was opposed might be his
superiors in
particular branches of military science,
but none combined
so
pre-
cise a knowledge
of the various,
instrument wielded, and its
capabilities. Both Nelson d

ac-
complished craftsmengton were

well as warriors, and their respective p

quaintance with the anatomy, the limbs
was setting in motion. In French phrase
in block. His genius seized upon the thing
be done without the method of doing it, which was
left left to subordinates. Working so lavishly, reckless
of blood and treasure, with vast means, Napoleon did
wonders, and working most economically with scanty
means on a different system, combining the perception
of what was to be done with the perfect knowledge of
how it was to be done, Wellington triumphed over his
colossal adversary.
The Duke was never heard to disparage an adver-
sary. Indeed his generous appreciation of the merits
of the great captains he had encountered and mas-
tered once provoked the bold question how he ac-
counted for his own triumph over such men. He he-
sitated for a moment to reply, and the interrogator
felt all the temerity of the question he had put, but
the Duke relieved him presently, by quietly saying—
" Their plans may have been better than mine, but in
the execution of every large plan there is likely to be
some miscarriage, and I think I bad the knack of
readjusting my arrangements to new circumstances
more quickly than they had, and perhaps for the very
reason that the original plan was not so perfect, and
the mending by so much the more easy, as you can
knot broken rope more easily than leather harness."
The Duke spoke with great respect, or rather ad-
miration, of the skill of Soult in organizing troops
and combining their movements, but with this faculty
his praise stopped ; and for genius in war he gave
the palm to Massena in this criticism of personal ex-
perience :—" When Massena was opposed to me I
could not eat, drink, or sleep. I never knew what
repose or respite from anxiety was. I was kept per-
petually on the alert. But when Soult was opposed
to me, then I could eat, drink, sleep, and enjoy myself
without fear of surprise. Not but that Soult was a
great general. Soult was a wonderful man in his
way. Soult would assemble 100,000 men at a
certain point, on a certain day, but when he had
got them there, he did not know what in the world to
do with them."

The Duke would not be drawn into comparisons
disparaging foreign armies and exalting our own at
their expense. George IV. asked him whether the
British cavalry was not the finest in the world. The
Duke answered, " The French are very good, sir."
Unsatisfied with this sufficiently significant evasion of
the question, the King rejoined, " But our's is better,
Duke ?" "The French are very good, sir," was
again the Duke's dry response. No vulgar vaunt of
superiority could be obtained from him.

The Duke had the simplicity which is almost uni-
formly the concomitant of genius. Some time ago
was exhibited a model of the battle of Waterloo,
which the Duke recommended a lady to visit, saying,
" It is a very exact model of the battle to my certain
knowledge, for I was there myself." As if there
could be a being beyond the greenest infancy need-
ing to be told who fought the battle of Waterloo. It
was for the modesty of the Duke alone to ignore his
own all-pervading fame.
Readers of that valuable work, Colonel Gurwood's
" Collection of the Wellington Dispatches" (a hook
which will be turned to now with new and infinitely
increased interest), must be aware that the Duke of
Wellington was a thorough reformer in military
affairs, and that during the long course of
the Peninsular campaigns he was engaged in
a perpetual struggle against the abuses of pa-
tronage, and jobs of every sort impairing the
efficiency of the service. If he could have
carried the same principle and the same spirit into
his views of civil policy, his name would have stood
not less high as a statesman than it does in military
renown. But the perfect knowledge possessed in the
one province was wanting in the other, and the Duke's
sound sense was at fault, working up mistaken data.
When, however, he, in his own phrase, hit the
right nail on the head, nothing could be neater and
completer than the way in which he drove it home.
The right line with him was indeed always the shortest
distance between two points, the starring ground and
the object to be aimed at. his fault as a speaker was
occasionally that of arguing in a circle, which hap-
pened when he lost his way in questions economical or
commercial with which he was not thoroughly ac-
quainted ; but when he was on the sure ground of his
better knowledge he was clear and pithy, and some
of the best sayings of our time, condensing good sense
in the simplest and most berse expression, belong to
the Duke of Wellington.
Though, as we have stated, there were political
subjects upon which the Duke's knowledge was at
fault, yet to repair this defect he bad marvellous in-
stincts of necessity, and, though tardy to yield in the
field of debate, he was forward in conceding when the
time for action arrived. As in the signal instancs of
Catholic Emancipation, he saw that the thing trust be,
though he had not seen that it should be.

TnE GREAT TUBULAR BRlDGE.—Through the
indisposition of Mr. Brunel, who has been on the Continent,
and has not yet returned to Chepstow, many who had hoped
to have seen the second tube raised on the day of the dower
show were disappointed. It is now intended to raise it in
abut a fortnight. The tube has this week been shifted near
the water, and is almost ready for heing placed on the pop.
toons previous to floating it across the Wye. The precise
day for accomplishing the hoisting cannot be named, we
believe, as so huge a piece of work is not so easily com-
pleted as might be supposed The arch on the Gloucester
side is not finished, and will not be bolore the tube is
raised some distance above its proper height. The arch
will then be built under the tube, which will de lowered

DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.
At the magistrates' office, at Penrith, on Tuesday
last, Mrs. Palmer, wire of Mr. John Pa!mer, of
Juhnby, appeared as complainant in a case which has
for some time past engaged the attention and excited
the indignation of the surrounding country. It ap-
pears that Palmer bad a female servant in the house
named Elizabeth Varah, with whom be had formed
an improper intimacy. The girl Varah had been in
his service about twelve months ; and during the three
or four months last past he bad been so charmed with
her society that he has never once been over his land,
but has sat beside her in the corner, toying with her
as lovers are wont to do, subjecting his poor wife—
who has seven children by him, the youngest of
which is only ten week's old—to ill-treatment almost
sufficient to break any woman's heart. This, how-
ever, was not all—not only did he use his wife in the
most barborous manner, but actually authorised and
encouraged his paramour to do the same. The poor
woman strove for a long time to conceal these facts
from the publicity incident to a judicial investigation,
till, being in danger of her life from the threats of her
heartless husband, and the brutal treatment of the wretch
by him invested with authority, she was compelled
to avail herself of the protection afforded by
law. The girl Varah appeared to the sum-
mons, and Palmer also appeared to support her in
their mutual infamy. The George Assembly-room
has never been so crowded since Lord Brougham's
fishing cases were heard in Swptember, 1850. The
complainant, Mrs. Palmer, stated that Elizabeth
Varah, the defendant, had thrown a bowl of " churned
milk" upon her back, turned her out of her own
house, and barred both the back and front doors upon
her. The defendant had also attempted to throw a
bowl of flour upon her, but she slipped aside, and it
missed her. Her husband had taken the keys from
her, given them to the defendant, and told her (Mrs.
Palmer) that she was to obey her in all things--that she
should have no further authority in her own household ;
and he also at the same time ordered all the servants
to be alike obedient to the defendant. Mrs. Palmer
also said that she had seen her husband and the de-
fendant in bed together in high daylight. Mrs.
Palmer also stated that she was in danger of her life
from her husband ; that he had several times threa-
tened to kill her ; and that on one occasion be ran
after her with a knife in his hand, threatening to
" stick" her, but she managed to get out of his way.
Mrs. Palmer's statements were fully corroborated by
the evidence of a neighbour woman, who saw her at
the door unable to gain admittance when the de-
fendant had thrown the milk upon her and barred her
out ; and by a fellow-servant girl of. defendant's,. who.

the assault upon Mrs. Palmer, or, in default of pay-
ment, to be imprisoned in Carlisle gaol for two calen-
dar months ; and Palmer to be bound over to keep
the peace towards his wife for six months, himself in
the sum of 1001., and two sureties of 501. each, or to
go to gaol for a like period. On the defendant being
asked if she could pay the fine, she said no, but
her master would pay it for her; she then went

TYRONE POWER and LOUIS NAPOLEON.
Tyrone Power, when returning from his second visit
to America, happened to be the fellow passenger of
Louis Napoleon, now Prince President and Autocrat of
what is called the French Republic. During the
whole voyage from New York to England Power
was confined to his berth, in consequence of inju-
ries received by a fall from his horse just before
sailing. Louis Napoleon evinced a marked partiality,
for the invalid, whose acquaintance he sedu-
lously cultivated, and passed much of his time in
conversing with and reading to him. This intimacy
and friendship continued after their arrival in England.
An entry in the only diary now remaining thus speaks
of this remarkable personage at a dinner party of dis-
tinguished guests, comprising, amongst others, the Duke
of Betufort, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Alfred Paget,
Count D'Orsay and the French Prince. "At half-
past seven all the party arrived punctually. We
were very merry—conversation never flagged. At
eleven, coffee. After this we played Russian
bagatelle like boys; at two in the morning all drove
off, having enjoyed a delightful evening. Prince
Louis evidently made an impression on the English
noblemen. Indeed, his manners are so gentle and
unassuming, that it would he difficult not to like him.
As a matter of course all gave him precedence on
leaving the drawing-room w hen dinner was announced.
lle is not unlike `his great uncle, whose portrait
hung opposite to him where he sat. I observed him
eye it attentively, and, as I thought, with a melancholy
expression. What blighted hopes and defeated am-
bition must one glance have conjured up." In another
place, speaking again of Louis and his cousin Lucien,
he says, "They appear quite confident in the hope of
another revolution in France, and the return of their
family to supreme power. They have persuaded them_
,elves that they represent a principle, which, though
held back for a time, must, sooner or later, inevitably
load to the race of Bonaparte being recalled by the united
voice of the nation." These opinions are curious and
o
interesting now, having been uttered with confidence so
