PEDESTRIANISM. •
The Two Gentlemen Pedestrians, Captain Smith and Mr.
Blakesley, who started from Kingsland on Tuesday morning
at one o'clock, fOr 200 sov. reached Woodsford, Northamp-
tonshire (78 miles), about the same time, between ten and eleven
o'clock at night, and supped there, on their race to the 140
mile stone near Worksop., Captain Bell Ferguson goes with
the Captain as opposite umpire, a Mr. Giles with• Mr. Makes-
ley, and Capt. W. N. Wilson is the referree in case of dispute.
Much money is pending upon the event, and 'Mr. B. is rather
the favourite.

HATMARKET.---The new comedy of Paul Pry
was repeated last night with some curtailments,
which rendered it more compact and effective.
With such supporters as LISTON, W. FARREN,
Porr•,, Madame VEsTarf, Miss, and, particularly
Mrs. Gin vErt (nor should the firm natural acting
of -YOUNGER be passed over), it is likely to be
strongly attractive through the season.
lii•S FOOTE is engaged by HARRY JOHNSON
to play at the Whitehaven Theatre,Cumbet land,
six nights, for 300/. Her first appearance will
be in the character of .Letitia Hardy, on the 22d
instant.

A new tragedy, Sigismonde de Bourgoyze, by
Monsieur Yiennet, has been very successful at
the Theatre Francais. It is
,highly praised in
the Constitotionnel.

Colonel WALL, of Hollow Park, has presented
to the Mayor and Corporation of Worcester apiece of ordnance
end nine suits of black iron armour, which, belonged to Charles
by whom they were left at Worcester, after the fatal battle
in 16,51. The gun is a brass long French 13-pounder; it was
presented to Charles 11. by Compte de Burgh, whose arms and
name are engraven upon it ; there are also the arms of France,
with the date ; round the but are the words—" Joannrs
Sitho fme fecit Bruzqles."—lt was spiked when left, but the
inside is not injured.

LOVE'S LABOURS NOT LOST.--On Friday was
married at Palgrave, by the Reverend Robert Rose, Mr.
Frederick Smith, to Miss Sophia, daughter of Mr. Gaskin,
both of that parish. This now happy couple had their bans
regularly published, but some misunderstanding taking
place,
about a week previous to the day appointed fin. the solem-
nization of the nuptials, between th 4 bridegroom and re-
latipns of the bride, the former, in the excitation of his
mind, sold off' the goods and chatt,•is which he had pro-
vided for the connubial state, and abruptly Withdrew him-
self from the place of his promised happiness, hoping, by
absence, to estrange his heart from the object of its affec-
tion. This task, however, he found by no means an easy
one: after a few days' absence, love compelled its forlorn
votary to return, only to witness whether his betrothed re-
mained faithful. He met his fair one in the street of the
town, with a vessel in her hand, pensively tripping to a
neighbouring farm-house for milk. The flame which had
been, with difficulty, suppressed, now burst forth in the
bosom of both lnvers : a few moments served to bring them
to a decision. Tlie Church and the Rectory House stood
hard by. The clergyman and clerk were soon in attendance._
The maiden set her milk-tin on the steps. of the altar, and the
rite being immediately consummated, was soon independent of
a second intervention.—(Bury Gaactte.)
