JAMES MILES'S GREAT MATCH AGAINST
TIME AT WANDSWORTH.

It will be recollected Miles attempted for the first time to
accomplish the extraordinary feat of walking, fair heel and
and toe, 21 miles in three consecutive hours, fora bet of £5O
a. side, on Monday, August 11, when he failed. Mites on
that occasion became so used up that while walking the first
lap of the 18th mile he fell from sheer exhaustion. His
backer thinking the failure arose solely from his not being
in proper trim, determined to let him have another chance.
The present match was therefore made, the requisite articles
being entered into on Friday, Aug, 29, W. Price laying the
odds of £5O to £25 that Miles did not succeed in accomplish-
ing the above specified distance within the allotted three
hours. Miles had to make the circuit of the course 84 times
(less 70 yards). Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of
the weather, the ground was in splendid condition, and at
3 o'clock, Miles, attended by young Smith, made his ap-
pearance. The betting was 6to 2 on time, but the backers
of Miles did not feel much disposed to whip it on at the
odds offered, as they said the day was to all intents and
purposes so much against their man. The start had to be
made by the report of a pistol, and on the signal being
given Miles dashed off in magnificent style. The first mile
was accomplished in 7 minutes 45 seconds, the second mile
in 15 minutes 50 seconds ; 3 miles were completed in 23
minutes 59 seconds ; 4 miles, 32 minutes 8 seconds ; 5 miles
were told off by the young Brixton clipper in 40 minutes 18
seconds; 6 miles accomplished in 48 minutes 38 seconds;
and the first 7 miles were completed, and that with the most
perfect ease to himself, in 57 minutes. The first 8 miles
were done in 1 hour five minutes 33 seconds ; 9 miles were
done in 1 hour 14 minutes 9 seconds ; 10 miles were done
in 1 hour 22 minutes 44 seconds; 101 miles (half the dis-
tance) were accomplished in 1 hour 27 minutes; 11 miles
were completed in 1 hour 31 minutes 16 seconds; 12 miles
were done in 1 hour 39 minutes 45 seconds ; 13 miles in
1 hour 48 minutes 25 seconds ; and the first 14 miles
were gatfantly walked in 1 hour 57 minutes 11 seconds.
The first 15 miles were accomplished in 2 hours 6 minutes
57 seconds; 16 miles were completed in 2 house 15 minutes
7 seconds ; 17 were splendidly walked in 2 hours 24 minutes
33 seconds ; 18 miles, 2 hours 33 minutes 40 seconds ; 19
miles were done in 2 hours 42 minutes 33 seconds. The ex-
citement which prevailed was of the most intense dascrip-
a.,,, Ilt: LiALLICU.M.UIIg, was linitcu
of the ground with the most deafening applause. There
could be no doubt, and well it might, that the pace and the
long continuance of his exertions were beginning to tell on
him, and that he was becoming more and more terribly dis-
tressed. Still, the pluck he exhibited at this trying and most
critical time was deserving of the highest praise. Through-
out the last mile and a half Miles struggled on with the
same undaunted pluck, the time when he had entered upon
the 84th and last lap being called out by the referee, so that
there should be no mistake. On came Miles in the midst of
the most deafening applause, but notwithstanding the terri-
fic exertions he had made, he had failed to reach the goal
when the referee had to announce to his friends those fatal
words, "Time's up," but still, so close was he " there" that
he succeeded in walking the 21 miles in 3 hours and 10
seconds, thus only losing the match by 10 seconds. Such a
performance as this has not been witnessed for years, and
that, too, in the midst of a pitiless rain.

EAST INDIAN STEAM NAVIGATION
COMPANY,-(]!MEETING THIS DAY.)

At a meeting of this company to-day the following reso-
Lution was adopted :

" That the board of directors be, and. &tre hereby em-
powered, to negotiate and enter into contract for the sale of
steamers, barges, tools, and other property of the company,
in whole or part, and on such terms as to price or otherwise
as they shall in their discretion think most expedient for
the interests of the company."

The Movimento publishes the following letter
from Garibaldi, the original of which it declares it possesses
in the general's own handwriting :—" I have read in No.
1,027 of the Perseveranza a letter quoted from the Esprit
Public, which is said to have been written to me by an
agent of Mazzini's on August 12, and to have been found
upon me by the royal troops at Aspromonte. These two
bits of news form ono lie. Another journal, the Pattie,
has got somebody to write to it from Spezzia that the
English surgeon put into my hands a sum of £5,000
on the part of Lord Palmerston, as a testimonial of the
sympathy of the English people with the enterprise
against Rome. It is sad to see Guttenburg's invention
turned to such vile and abjectl,urposes.—G. GARIBALDI."

The fine congous from Foo-choo-foo imported in
the Fiery Cross and Flying Spur were placed en the mar-
ket this morning, and about 1,000 packages have been rea-
lised at prices ranging from 2s 3d to 2s 10d.

The West India journals received by the mail
yesterday are unanimous in opposing the suggestion that
the future West India mail contracts should be via New
York,

At the meeting of the Italian Scienziati (men o
science), which was this year held at Siena, it was decided
that the next reunion, for the year 1863, should be held
"at Rome, the capital of Italy." Only four of the mem-
bers of the asssociation gave a negative vote to this pro-
posal.

The Hector, ironclad war ship, was launched
from the building-yard of Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, on
Friday.
SUICIDE OP A FRAUDULENT " ODD FELLOW."—
No little excitement has been occasioned in the village of
Southern by the suicide of William Neville, a barber and
news agent, who had filled several offices in connexion with
the Southam Friendly Sick Fund and Burial Society—a
branch of the "Nottingham Order of Odd Fellows." De-
ceased for many years acted as permanent secretary to the
above society, and resigned in July, when one of the mem-
bers had expressed certain suspicions that all was not right
with respect to Neville's exchequer. The society having at
this time no complaint against him, appointed him steward.
The committee, however, came to a resolution to audit his
books, and they were found to be incorrect. He was twice
requested to attend " summon lodge meetings" to explain
the matter, but did not do so. This was in August,
and it being found that many irregularities had occurred
during his secretaryship, the managers warned the mem-
bers not to pay any more money to him. About a week
ago the letter of one Rawlins, of Stratford-on-Avon,
whose money he had received but not accounted
l c
for, was read to him by Spraggett, the new secretary, as well
as another, complaining of his defalcations, from the general
Odd
secretary to the Ancient Imperial United Order of or to
Fellows at Nottingham. He then promised to refund ar_
the society the moneys he had embezzled, and it
