PEDESTRIANISM.--Mr. Stevens, of the 61st
Regiment, who wagered that he would walk 75 miles in
12 successive hours, commenced the feat on the Anglesey-
! road, Newport, on Tuesday morning. An immense num-
ber of spectators, and some hundreds of them from this
`..3 city, lined the road at each side. When he had walked
,et 45 miles, which he did in 6 hours and 45 minutes, he vea-
l' tured to wager 5001. that he would accomplish the whole
1. within the given time. Before he started again, however,
he took a tumbler of brandy and water, which, heated as
' he was, completely overcame him and rendered him inca-
pable of proceeding further. The wager was therefore
.2 lost.—Limerick Standard.
Sunday next being the first Sunday in Trinity
Term, the Lord Mayor and the Corporation will go in
State, on the occasion, to St. Paul's to meet the Judges.
The service will commence at three o'clock.
As a young man in the employ of Mr. Holman
of the Golden Cross Mews, was on Saturday evening driv-
i ing his master's gig along the Grand Parade, the horse
bolted, and running against the rails of No. 43, broke
them down, and was precipitated into the area. Fortu-
nately, neither horse nor driver received any serious in-
jury.—Brighton Gazette.
On Wednesday afternoon a most distressing
accident occurred at the works of Messrs. Wm. Adam and
Son, Milnbank. While a woman of the name of Ellen
M'Lean was endeavouring to replace a weight that had
fallen from the levers of the squeezers, she unfortunately
slipped a foot, and her clothes being seized hold of by two
spur wheels, she was drawn in and crushed to death so in.
stantaneously that the exclamation " Oh I" was all she
had time to utter.—Glasgow Chronicle.
On Tuesday morning, between three arid four
o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Read, in
Union street, Kingsland-road. The flames raged with
such fury that before the engines could arrive the house
(which was a small one) was reduced to ruins. On search-
ing- fur Mrs. Read she was not to be found anywhere.
Yesterday morning the body was found amongst the ruins,
burnt in a shocking manner. The body was placed in a
shell and conveyed to the workhouse, to await an inquest.
It is not known in what manner the fire occurred.
BAD BANKING.—The great source of the ge-
neral and growing depression in Dublin is to be found in
its defective monetary system—in a system of banking by
which capital is distributed, through favouritism, capri-
ciously—now encouraging gambling, and now denying the
means to practical industry. It is in bad banking—mono-
poly—the constant growing depressing is to be traced, and
at present over the empire as well as Dublin, by the ruin-
ous speculation which bad banking stimulated.—Pilot.
STAWBERRIES.—We received yesterday a dish
of strawberties, perfectly ripe and full sized, grown in the
fine gardens of Sir John Gordon of Earlston. This far
surpasses anything we have heard of in point of earliness,
and shows what may be effected by skill and care, aided by
a mild climate, a blessing enjoyed by the inhabitants of
Borgne in a greater degree than most others in tho south
of Scotland. This present called up visions of delight
which will be long in being realized, for many of the
strawberry banks around Dumfries are only beginning to
show blossom. —Dumfi ies Courier.

UPSETTING OE THE MAIL.—In the afternoon
of Sunday last, the mail coach running between Manches-
ter and Colne was upset, on its return from Colne, near
Fletcher Bank, about four miles on the other side of Bury.
The accident was caused by the sudden breaking of one of
the fore axles. One gentleman from Colne had his leg
severely fractured, and several of the other passengers were
more or less hurt, but not very seriously.—Manehester
Courier.
DOUBLE MAIL TO DUBLIN.—It was fully in-
tended that the morning and the evening mail-boats to
Dublin should commence running on the first of May ; and
the City of Dublin Company were ready to fulfil their part
of the contract. The Post-office authorities have, however,
postponed the commencement of the double mail until the
first of June. The London and Birmingham Railway
Company will not, it is supposed, be ready to expedite the
mail trains, which are intended to be in connection with
the steamers, so early as had been expected. —Liverpool
Albion.
