PEDESTRIANISM.
The great match to the 140th mile stone, near Worksop, be-
tween Mr. Blakesley and Captain Smith, and on which heavy
bets were pending, was decided at four o'clock on Wednesday.
It has been already stated that the pedestrians started at one
o'clock on Tuesday, and the stakes for the first who reached the
destination was 400 sovereigns; and Mr. Blakesley bet 50
sovereigns that the winner performed the distance from Shore-
ditch in 40 hours. Mr. Blakesley won the match without much
apparent fatigue, in 39 hours, and won the 50 sov. bye-bet also.
Captain Smith resigned the contest six miles from home, and

ABERDEEN, SEPT. 7.—At the conclusion of
the Aberdeen Races last week, Mr. FARQUHARSON, of Fin.
zean, M. P., and two or three gentlemen, went to the top of the
Broad-hill, and having procured a few dozens of cheeses,
threw them down the hill among the multitude : when the hair-
breadth 'scapes which many of them made in their eagerness to
become possessed of one produced good sport. Owing to the
steepness of the front of the hill, it was very difficult to keep a
footing. One man near the top received a cheese right in his
breast, was upset by the blow, and rolled down to the bottom,
taking care, however, of his prize, which he kept hold of to
the lasi,

BENIN GOROD,
A TALE OF THE HIGHLANDS.

The name of 131extzt Gotton, in Mull, a moue.
tain with basaltes pillars, (200 feet in height, dis-
covered by Mr. RASPS in the year 1789, and far
superior to Staffa, the Giant's Causeway, or any
other specimen of the kind hitherto known,
arises from the recdrd of BO tragical a nature that
it should be preserved. There are many tradi-

tions respecting it, but the following we believe
to be the most authentic:—A powerful Chieftaits
who vas Lord of the Island of Mull many years
ago, was no less distinguished for the extent of
his territories, where lie lived in great feudal
magnificence, than for a ferocity of temper which
knew no bounds; and a spirit of avarice which he
found no means of satisfying but by grievously
oppressing his tenants and vassals, and seiAng their
property and estates. was above all par-
ticularly anxious to acquire the possessions
of a neighbour whose name was Gorod, on ac-
count of their extent and contiguity. But he
had long abstained from any attempt of this kind,
both as Gorod, though above fifty years of age,
had remained unmarried, and, failing of him and
his heirs, the estate reverted to the chieftain ;
and because his only son, who was reared-accord-
ing to the custom of those times in the family of
a vassal, was in his custody. Gorod, however,
contrary to the expectation of every one, married
a young lady of great beauty and accomplish-
ments, whom he had accidentally met with in one
of the neighbouring islands ; and the chieftain
had reason to apprehend that the expectations
with which he had flattered himself of getting
pia vassal's estate by a failure of his posterity,
would be frustrated. Impelled by lust and dis-
appointment, he resolved to destroy the. hopes
and happiness of Gorod by the seduction
of his wife, which he with difficulty affect-
ed, and at last carried her in triumph to
his castle. Gorod concealed his rage, whilst
he inwardly vowed vengeance ; and having con-
trived in the course of a great hunting party at
which the chieftain and his son, Gorod, and the
lady, and all the principal people of the island
assisted, to bring the whole company to the sum-
mit of a lofty mount; he seized the youth, and
standing by the brink of a frightful precipice he
exclaimed---" This instant I plunge myself and
this boy down the cliff, unless that infamous
woman is put to death by the hands f her sedu-
cer." The chieftain trembling for'Ae safety of
the only support of his family, and encouraged by
the persuasions of his unhappy mistress, who pre-
sented her breast to receive the blow, reluctantly
obeyed. Gorod then cried out, 46 I am revenged,
but that tyrant must be punished ;" then spring-
ing from the mountain with the unhappy youth
in his arms, they were almost instantly dashed in,
pieces. The place has ever since been known
by the name of Benin Gorod, or the Hill of
Gorod.—(Edinburgh Observer, Sept. 13.)
