LEONARD NORMANDALE ; OR, THE TUBES
BROTHERS.—This new novel of fashionable life, writtel/
by the
,Hon. Charles Stuart Savile, son of the Earl °,
Mexborough, is attracting general attention on account
of the remarkable manner in which it enters into the
most private relations in the domestic life of the 11115;
e
tocracy, and exposes the abuses which arise from the
aggrandisement of eldest sons at the expensof the rest
of the family. The author's intimate knowledge atu
subject has given an authority to his revelations which
they could not otherwise have received, and full,' ac'
counts for the interest which the work has excited.
(PEDESTRIANISM.—A walking match, ten miles'
for 20 soya. aside, between John Thomas, the "SaloPll
Pedestrian," and Spooner, of Turnham-green, came U I
on Monday last, and attracted a large concourse 0'
spectators. The ground selected to walk upon was
from Lord Hill's Column to the top of Emstfeel
Bank, near this town, one mile in length. UlDPlrei
and a referee having been chosen, and all other prelims"
naries duly adjusted, shortly after two o'clock the En!!!
started, and performed the distance as follows:--T'.
first two miles was walked by Spooner in 15 min. 55 see''
the second ditto, by Thomas, in 17 rain. 28 sec.; 4t.'l,
third ditto, by Spooner, in 17 min. 5 sec.; the fourth
ditto, by Spooner, in 17 min. 38 sec.; and the fifth dial
by Spooner, in 19 min. 31 sec. Spooner accomplish,e.,
the ten miles in 1 hour, 27 minutes, and 37 secono"
while Thomas was 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 30 seconoil
The walking was considered first-rate. On turnil3%
the fifth mile, Thomas was nearly three yards in Wei
when Spooner put the steam on, materially increase;
his advantage, and eventually won easily, to the no small
mortification of the " Salopians," who bad backed thelg,
man at odds, and booked his winning as a moral Or.:
tainty. Spooner, who is only in his nineteenth year, t
a promising sprig, and is likely to become a star in
profession, Thomas is in his 27th year. We 11!,1::
heard that Spooner can be backed to walk the ten mile
in 1 hour and 26 minutes.—Shropshire Journal.

Extract of a letter dated "16, Blessington.street,
Feb. 9, 1847 :—Professor Holleway,—Dear Sir: Having des
voted my particular attention for some years to the treatment
of cutaneous or skin diseases, I think it right to inform you our

perfect effect in removing those diseases, even when of a le
