ONE HUNDRED MILES IN TWELVE HOURS.
The Huntingdonshire galloway, 15 hands one inch, and six
years old, the property of Mr. Chas. Franklin, started yester-
day morning at two o'clock, over an eight-miles piece. of
ground near l3iggleswade, to perform the above great under-
taking. It was for 1000 Sovereigns, and was to be performed
within six weeks from the 23d of July ; to trot only. Heavy
stakes. were pending upon the issue of the event, which was
done as follows :

The horse won by eight minutes and a half and was never
distressed. His rider (Stanton) carried nine stone. The horse
was baited in the 26th, 42d, and 65th miles, in small quanti-
ties, and fed well; and if pushed with two riders, could have
performed the distanee in less tims- by an hour. Mr. Aaron
Gulley and Capt. Braithwaite were the umpires.
A gentleman of the name of Billinghurst betted
.LT guineas
that he galloped over the eight miles in 25 minutes, and he
won it easily, having nearly a minute to spare.

tween eleven Gentlemen of the Croydon Independent Ama-
teur Club, and eleven Gentlemen of the Epsom Club, with
two given men and a famous bowler from Chelsham, in Surrey;
when the match was won, after great exertion, by the Indepen-
dent Club, with six wickets to go down.

EXTRACTS FROM THE DAILY MORNING PAPERS,
August .24, 1822.

• [MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The public expect of a Journalist, that he
should communicate the reports and conjectures
*hiCh are 'at any time afloat respecting Minis-
terial successions, and we have, therefore, more
than once alluded to the different on as in cir-
CulatiOri with regard to the changes to which the
}Ate vacancy will give rise. It is now conEdently
Stated in certain quarters, that though the Duke
of, Wellington is to proceed to the Congress,
Mr.. Peel is to be Foreign Secretary, and
that Lord Colchester is to receive the Home
Department. The No Popery party will,
in. this case, become alt powerful in the
Cabinet, receiving an addition to their number,
hile the other has suffered a diminution. We
express no opinion respecting the duration of
such a Ministry, for it is difficult to see how
any set of men should not be able to keep their
places if they choose. ft is to receive, it is said,
the strenuous support of Mr. Bragge Bathurst,
who has expressed a determination to take a
leading part in the [louse of Commons during
the next Session From the known sentiments
of Lord Liverpool, as to the importance of having
Mr. Canning, it May be supposed that every
exertion has been made by him to overcome the
tepugnance existing in a certain high quarter to
his appointment. The idea has, however, been
tome time abandoned.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The last accounts from Scotland describe the
progress of the Royal visit in glowing and, we
believe, in faithful colours. The holding of a
Court' at Holy rood House, not only from the
remembrances of Royalty associated with the
place, bur from the vivacity, variety, and splen-
dour of the scene—the picturesque diversity of
military dress and arms—and the elegancies of
the female toilette—seems to have made an im-
pression not to be forgotten soon. His Majesty
was greatly pleased with the array of Scottish
be'auty which appeared 'before him ; and the
ladies in their turn were delighted with the gra-
ciousness with which they were received. The
-King is in the best health and spirits, and highly
ratified, as may be readily believed, with his
visit. Addresses have been presented to him by
the several Scottish Colleges, and by the N,a-
tienal and Episcopal Churches of Ekotland.

[MORNING POST.]
The intelligence respecting the arming of the
Russian fleet at Sebastopol is confirmed by ad-
vices from Odessa, with this addition, that it is
said to consist of 14 sail of the line. Such a force,
with 'an adequate number of troops on hoard,
would he suffickient, under the present circum-
stances, to take possession of Constantinople,
and thus to avoid all the difficulties, delays, and
dFngess of a campaign by land. The Ottoman
fl;eet, since its disaster, may be considered as
ldst to the Porte. According to advices from
Trieste, of the sth instant, most of the vessels
vhich escaped conflagration on the night of the
destruction of the Capitan Pacha, had run for
rfuge to the port of Oliveto in the island of Me-
telin (the ancient Lesbos), having lost their.an-
cholls which they cut at the moment of their flight.
As that port was entirely open, and the Turks
had not sufficient courage left to attempt to re-
gollit the Dardanelles, as they would have to en-
cyunte‘;' a Grecian fleet of thirty-six. sails, which
closed the entrance to. that Strait, it was expected
that they would disarm their' own ships and
destroy them, to prevent them from falling into
tile hands .of. the Greeks. The reported defeat
of the...united Egyptian and Algerine squadrons,
near Soda. in the island.of Candia, was confirmed.
The massacre of the inhabitants of the. Village of
Tvfas-kic, at Stio; had filled the population of all
the isles of the Archipelago with fresh ardour to
break down the power of their oppressors, and to
revenge the slaughter of their fellow•countrymen.
A merchant vessel had brought intelligence to
TTleSte of the surrender of the fortresses of Coron
and Motion, to the Greeks, when they learned
the destruction of the Capitan Pacha, which de.
priVed them of all hopes of being relieved. Patras
was therefore the only fortress which the Turks
still retained in the Morea.

[THE TIMES.]
The rumour we stated three days ago is so far
confirmed, that by what we learn on good au-
thority, the Duke of Wellington actually pro-
ceeds ih quality of Ambassador or Negociator
from this country to the approaching Congress.
This-is a melancholy appointment for his prin-
cipals, and it is not, we fear, a very prorni-ing
one.for their allies. The natural instruments of
otgociation do not appertain to his Grace. He
can neither persuade the refractory, nor conc►-
liate the reluctant, nor put on record his
own successes, whether good: or bad, so as
to : furnish any decent addition. to the classic
treasures of that bureau bequeathed to him by
Lord Londonderry. That the Duke ~of
Marlborough should have triumphed as a ne-
gociator, (though Critics find fault with his
spelling), does not much surprise us; for besides
being a man of enlarged and versatile genius, he
was the most pleasing and insinuating personage
of his time. Nor ought his triumphs—we now
speak of him as a Foreign Minister—to be envied
any more than they can be disputed ; for they
maintained the cause of civil and religious liberty.
If the: present Commander of the British armies
aims at a-worthy rivalship with Marlborough, let
him' think for a moment to what a glorious end,
that great man's powers were exerted !—lt i.
affirmed that the Duke of Wellington is to meet
the'-Pnperor of Russia at Vienna on the 15th of
September, and that Mr. Planta accompanies his
Gcace, as Secretary to the mission.
