GRAND PEDESTRIAN MATCH FOR 1001.. ASIDE.
—The match between Drinkwater, the celebrated Yorkshire
runner, and Mountjoy, the lamplighter, to pick up 300 stones,
each at a yard apart, came off yesterday, on Lord's Cricket-
ground, amidst a numerous assemblage of the Sporting fra-
ernity. One o'clock was the time appointed for starting;
but in consequence of a shower of rain falling at that time the
men were not brought to the spot until ten minutes to two
o'clock. Both were dressed in flannel jackets and trousers,
and wore high-low shoes. The men appeared to be each in
excellent condition ; but, from the well-known lasting qualities
of the Yorkshireman, the betting, from the commencement,
was seven to four (with takers) in favour of Drinkwater, who,
notwithstanding the heaviness of the ground, arising from the
previous rains, accomplished the herculean task at 25 minutes
after four, at which time Mountjoy, who appeared very much
distress-'d, bed still 28 of his nearest stones untouched. The
distance which .Drinkweter covered was computed at rather
more than twenty-two m:les.
POST-OFFICE ARRA NGEMENTS.—We understand
that on Thursday next, the Bth inst., the London mail will
arrive at the Lancaster Post-office at half past eleven, a.m..
and that the letters will be ready fur delivery half an hour
after the arrival of the mail. Front the north the mail will
arrive at a quarter past two, p.m. The Carlisle mail will
pass through Lancaster for Manchester, &c., at eleven o'clock,
p.m., instead cf twelse, p.m. ; the Manchester mail, on its
road to Carlisle, will pass through the town at two o'clock,
a.m., instead of ten, p.m. his expected that a second Lon-
, don mail will shortly be despatched by the Carlisle night mail but
nothing certain is known upon this point. These arrangements
e consequent upon the opening of the North Union Rail-
way; and as soon as they take effect, Lancaster will cease to
tie a sorting-place, 'as heretofore, and the mail will only stay
to change horses. We have now an uninterrupted line of rair-
way from Preston to London; and in two year's we have rea-
son to hope that the last link in the chain of communication
with the metropolis 'will be completed. The North Uvion
Railway was opened on Wednesday last. Lancaster Guardian.
THE MAILS.—We have much pleasure in learning
that the post-office are about to give to Scotland the t enefit of
a morning mail from London. This will be
,a real advantage,
to Montrose, and other places similarly eircurse-tanced. The
mail which presently leaves London at eiLtht p.m. will, on
and after the 9th current, arrive in Edinburgh a little after
four of the second morning, and be despatched north at five
a.m. through' Fife. It will thus reach Montrose befors two,
and, Aberdeen by six o'clock in the evening. The other, or
new mail, bringing the Morning Papers,&c. from London, is
to leave Edinburgh for the North, at eight o'clock, p.m. via
Queeusferry and Perth—reaching Montrose about six next
morning, and Aberde.:n before ten. There is no further rc-
ce!eration of the mails expected for two years.--Montrose
Review.

The eruption of Mount Etna, as we learn by a letter
from Naples, continues with great violence. It appears to
have attained its height on September 29, but a severer burst
came forth at 6 in the scorning of • the 30th, and excited great
alarm ; it appears, however, that no serious consequences have
ensued. Vesuvius is perfectly quiet.
PUBLIC MEETING IN CORK.—On Monday last
there was a public meeting of the citizens of Cork for the
establishment there of a Precursor Society. It was held in
the Victoria Theatre ; William Crawford, Esq., took the
chair. The Southern Reporter alludes to the meeting in the
following terms :—" As we had anticipated, the public meet-
ing was cred table to the well-known public spirit of the citi-
zens of Cork. The Vittoria Theatre was crowded to excess
in all parts. As was well observed by Mr. Beamish and Mr.
Dowden, the body of the house was filled by the more comfort-
able classes of tradespeople and mechanics, who attended fcr
the purpose of testifying their readiness to support Mr.
O'Connell in the great project he is about to unfold for
establishing a universal registration of the opinions of the
people, on the political subjects which now agitate this coun-
try. •We are glad to find, from the sentiments expressed
by all the speakers, that there exists a strong anxiety to
support the pre,ent Government, in the full confi-
dence that their intentions towards this country are up-
right and sincere ; at the same time that there prevails, if
we may judge from the purport of the second resolution
which was adopted, a very general feeling that the Ministry,
by taking a more decided position, and, " by avoiding all col-
lision with the more advanced opinions of the people," would
have better succeeded in giving pract.cal effect to the
leading and distinctive principle of their Government, which
is justice to Ireland. The citizens of C,rk have thus nobly
done their duty. They have put in motion a machinery
which, through the instrumentality of parish Committees,
will swell the roll of Precursors in this city to at
least ten thousand members. The meeting yesterday will
have another good effect; it will call into action the patrio:ic
spirit of the country. We know of several districts that are
waiting the impulse from the .city to join the general movement.
That impulse has been given, and we shall look with cwifi-
deuce for Precursor Meetings over the whole county. Let
the South of Ireland, always eniulous of maintaining an ad-
vanced position in the battle for political and religious liberty,
press forward now. Its example will be followed by the whole
kingdom, and the united effort cannot be resisted." _

DEMONSTRATION MEETINGS.—Our space isin-
sufficient to report even a tithe of the Radical demonstration
meetings, that are held almost &fly. in every part of Etiglaud
and Scotland. F. r thin reason, we must content ourselves
with a bare record of the fact, that at Norwich, last ,Monday
(as well as in a hundred other plo.ces), the working Oases met
for getting up a demonstration in favour of the People's Char-
ter. Of one of the speakers at this meeting, . Stephens,
the Norwich Mercury says, " He was the great orator of the
day. He has, we understand, been a preacher in the Metho-
dist connection, but has been suspended in consequence of his
choosing to mix himself with political meetings. It is. but
justice to say he is very eloquent, fluent in speech, earnest in
his deliv•Ty, and his style is adapted to excite the fiercest pas-
sions of his auditors."

THE UN I TIES I hope you have preserved the
unities, Sir," said Mr. Curdle. " The original piece is a
French one," said Nicholas. " There is abundance of inci-
dent, sprightly dialogue, strongly-marked characters—" " All
unavailing without a strict observance of the unities, Sir," re.
turned Mr. Curdle. " The unities of the drama before
everything." " Might I ask you," said Nicholas, hesitating
between the respect he ought to assume, and his love of the
whimsical, " might I ask you what the nnities are ?" Mr.
Curdle coughed and considered. " The unities, Sir," he
said, " are a completeness—a kind of universal dove- tailed-
ness with regard to place and time—a sort of ,a general one-
ness, if I may b, allowed to use so strong an expression. j
take those to be the dramatic unities, so far as I have been
enable d to bestow attention upon them, and I have read much
upon the subject, and thought much. I find, running through
the performances of this child," said Mr. Curdle, turning to
the phenomenon, " a unity of feeling, a breadth, a light and
shade, a warmth of colouring, a tone, a harmony, a glow, an
artistical development of original conceptions, which I look
" Perfectly," replied Nicholas.
for in vain among older performers—l don't know whether I
ni:lke myself understood ?"
Just so," said Mr. Curdle, pulling up his neckcloth,
" That is my definition of the unities 01 the drama."—Nicho=,
