M‘Mullan, who is pretty well known for his pedestrian feats
in the North, and who calls himself the Champion of England
for walking, commenced at Kendal oh Thursday last, at three
o'clock hi the afternoon, to walk 100 miles in 24 successive
hours, which he completed nearly within an hour of the time.

One of the party of sportsmen with, Colonel Dowhiggin, in
Strathnaver, Sutherlandshire, one morning in September last
went out deer-stalking, and soon came upon the object of his
search. Three noble stags" having got within range, his ball
pierced through the head of the one, and wounded the second,
while the third received the deadly contents of his other
barrel. With the dexterity of a real sportsman he immediately
made up on the wounded stag, and brought him down, like his
comrades, with the ball of a single-barrelled rifle, which he
also carried along with him. The reader's wonder will, .per-
haps, give place to other feelings when we mention the uner-
ring hand that directed the riffle, that of the famed Captain
Ross, of Rossie, who, in twelve days' stalking, brought in the
goodly number of 29 stags. —lohn 0' Groat Journal.

On Monday week, two young men, named Hutchinson and
Standrig, both of Heywood, agreed to fight in the Laucashire
fashion, biting, kicking, and throttling, for 183. a-side. A
great number of blackguards witnessed the brutal scene, which
lasted a considerable time. Hutchinson was very much hurt,
and died on Friday afternoon.

A banditti of poachers have lately infested the pre-
serves of Sir Edward Kerrison, in Oakley and Brome, Suf-
folk. Early on Monday morning last, the keepers being on
the watch, heard five pieces discharged successively, and
soon encountered the gang ; notwithstanding the resistance
they made, two of the ringleaders were secured.—Su folk
Chronicle.

On Sunday last Mrs. Elizabeth Cooke, whose hus-
band had a few days previous been run over and killed at
Cabourn, put a period to her existence by hanging herself
—Hull Paper.

A story has got into circulation in some quarters,
where credulity is very abundant, of the son of Louis
XVI, (who is supposed to have died in the Temple) having
made his appearance in England : it is added that he is
preparing to claim his rights, and to make known his
wrongs. While yet a boy he states himself to have been
removed beyond the reach of his enemies in a coffin, and
after that he was put to work as a shoemaker or shoemender.
In person, those who have seen him declare that he strongly
resembles the portraits of Louis XVI. ; and he declares
that be has marks which would enable his illustrious rela-
tives to recognise bins with perfect ease. They have not
done so as yet ; and, indeed, it would seem that they con-
sider him an impostor; or of unsound mind. What the
people of this country will think of his pretcnsions remains
to be seen.

PRINCELY BEQUESTS.—Mr. Thomas Naters, a
native of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who died at Goldenburg,
in Switzerland, on the 24th ult., has bequeathed to Mr.
Mather, a builder- at Newcastle, the immense sum of
200,0001. About twenty years since a rich citizen at New-
castle bequeathed all his property to his only child, a na-
tural son, who was at that time in India, practicing as a
physician. Dr. Adams, then in ill health, despairing of
ever reaching England, made his will in Calcutta, bequeath-
ing the great bulk of his wealth to a cousin on his mo-
ther's side, this identical Mr. Naters, at whose demise Mr.
Mather came into possession of the enormous sum above
named. Mr. Naters has also left'tv;-o handsome legacies
of 20,0001. each to Mr. Thorp, of Alnwick, Clerk of the
Peace ; and •Gec.rge Thomas Dunn, Esq., Aldermen of
Newcastle ; both of whom formerly promoted the interests
of the late Dr. Adams and himself.

TiM STANDING DISII.—I suppose that particular
dishes become, as it were, national property, because they are
so nasty, that no one can eat them, except those who are
brought up to it ; but certainly, when our mouths have been
seasoned to any of these national messes in our youth,
every thing else seems flat, stale, and unprofitable. They
are so intimately combined with our curly recollections,
.that, in after yearS, they form no small link in that bright
chain of memory which hinds our affection on strongly to
the days of our infancy. It is all very bathotic and gross,
I know ; but nevertheless, salt salmon and peas to a Fle-
ming, gruyere to a Swiss, or barley broth and oatmeal por-
ridge to a Scot, will do more to call up old and sweet re-
membranceshand happiness, and early
of home, days, than
the most elaborate description. But all this is nothing Co

since it was made ; add a handful of oatmeal, and stir the

consistency of hog wash. Let the mess stand till next morn-

plate of heated iron, called a galettier ; ascertain that it be
not too hot, by any process you may think fit ; in Brittany
they spit upon it. This being placed over a smoky wood
tire, will produce a sort of tough cake, called a galette,
which nothing but a Breton, or an ostrich, can digest. In
this consists the happiness of the Breton, and all his ideas
somehow turn upon this. If you ask a labouring man where
he is going, he answers " Manger de la galettc." If it rains
after a drought, they tell you, " 11 pleat de la galette ;" and
the height of hospitality is to ask you in, " pour manger de
la galettc."—The Desultory Man,;

I I th—Lieutenant Tobin, and a draft of thirty rank and
file, from the depot, left Waterford on Monday, for Cork,
where they embark to join the service companies in Corfu.

proceeds by the Moira transport to join the service com-

panies.

able report at the Horse Guards of their discipline and
appearance.

38th—As we surmised a fortnight since, tliis regiment
has recei;ed the route to proceed from Canterbury to

divisions for Herne Bay, there to embark on board the
City of Canterbury steamer for London-bridge. Ensign
Bice, the Acting Quartermaster, arrived in London on
Wednesday, and proceeded the same evening to Islington,
to take up the billets. A subaltern and thirty rank and
file will be detached at Holbeach. The regiment is only
378 strong, having very lately landed from India.
39th—Lieut. H. T. Griffiths is on leave in England.

son, K.C.8., commanding the northern district, inspected
this regiment in the Regent-road barracks, Manchester, in
heavy marching order. The Major-General expressed to
Colonel Bell, C.J3., and the officers, his entire approbation
of the soldier-like appearance of the men, and the regula-
rity of every part of the internal economy of the corps, as
also the barracks, hospital, and school.
49th—It is reported that Colonel Daniel intends re-
tiring from the service, and Major Hall, from the 3d Buffs,
will succeed to the vacant Lieutenant-Coloneley by pur-
chase.

family, is on the eve of embarking for Jamaica, to join and
take command of the service companies.
59th—There is no draft yet ordered for the Mediterra-
nean this year, the service ,companies being complete. Lieu-
tenants Burmester and Leslie have arrived in England in
the Firefly steamer,-from Malta. Major Gordon, it is •
supposed, will not go to the Mediterranean this year, hav-
ing recently purchased a charger.
67th—The. head-quarters, under .Lieut.-Coloqel Bun-
bury, K.H., were in good health at Demerara, Sept. 20.

measles, at Spike Island, having contracted that disease on
board the Nunta transport.
70th—Captain and Mrs. Graham met with an irretriev-
able loss the day after they left Algiers on their way to
Malta in the Firefly. The nurse, with the infant in her
arms, fell overboard while leaning against the gangway,
owing to the bolt giving way. The vessel was immediately .
hove to, and the woman recovered, but quite insensible ; the
child was floating a little distance, and brought on board
alive, but died in about tea hours after.

Sarah convict ship, for Van Diemen's Land.

88th—The Connaught Rangers underwent their half-
yearly inspection on the 4th inst., by Sir Thomas M'Mahon,
Southsea Common, and received from the Gallant General
that praise which first-rate discipline, excellent conduct, and
" deeds of bygone days" entitle them to. Colonel O'Mal-
ley has cause to be proud of his bravo countrymen, and they
of their Gallant Commander.

89th—Colonel Doherty is at present in Dublin on leave.
The reserve companies were inspected a few weeks since by
Major-General Macdorwll, C. 8., who expreseed himself
highly gratified with their appearance and discipline. The
regiment previous to going on service, and the depot since
the departure of the service companies, have been under the
command of Lieut.-Colonel Basden, as excellent an officer
as any in the service. The regiment at Trinidad was in
good health the 25th of September, having only lost six
men at head-quarters in six months. The rainy season had
ceased, and there was no new admission of fever. The lo-
cality of St. James's barrack was much improved by the
engineer officer, who had removed a principal cause of dis-
ease, viz., marshy and vegetable matter.
94th—The company detached at Cappawhiie is to be re-
lieved by one of the 25th.
95th—The following officers 'nave left head-quarters on
leave :—Major Maclean, Captains Saunders, Macleod, Eve-
rard, and Tathwell, and Lieut. Heyland.
97th—The two remaining companies have arrived at
join
the from Ceylon, and are now on their way to
the other eight. On their arrival, we believe the entire re-
giment will then find the duties of Woolwich and Deptford,
and the detachments of Guards at the last-named place join
head-quarters in London.
Royal Marines—Lieut. Winne has relieved Lieut. Walsh
at Pembroke ; the latter officer has returned to Plymouth.
Lieut. Holland, lately doing duty at Pembroke, has been
removed to Portsmouth. First-Lieut. W. Gordon, three
non-commissioned officers, and twenty-one privates have em-
barked on board the Sanzaranp,. Private Garlick, on board
the Prince, a hulk to his Majesty's ship Victory, whilst ram-
ming down a cartridge last week, the gun went off, when
the ramrod entered one side of his arm and came out at
the other. He was taken to Hasler Hospital, and is likely
to do well.

The under-mentioned officers retired from the army last
week :—Paymaster Hunter, 7th Dragoon Guards ; Captain
Congreve, 3d Light Dragoons ; Captain Huddleston, 11th
Foot ; Captain Johnson, 88th Foot ; and Captain Crowe,
93d Foot.

A letter of the 4th instant, from Schaffhausen,
says :—" At the time of the echentiourie at Strasburg,
our town was perfectly tranquil, notwithstanding its proxi-
tnity to Avena Berg, the residence of Louis Bonaparte,
and although that Prince has many friends and comrades
here ; and•there are also many old officers of the empire,
with other foreigners, who openly avow their admiration of
the hero of France. Nothing revealed that the actors i❑
the late coup de main attempted in France had any confi-
dants here, and it was net till after the failure of this ridi-
culous enterprise, that we'neard anything about it. Every-
body laments the fate of Prince Louis, who is beloved and
esteemed amongst us for his good qualities and his talents ;
but we can assure you that no Swiss, nor any fotciguer re-
sident in Switzerland, has suffered himself to be involved
in the plot. On the contrary, all blame an attempt to
overthrow order and disturb tranquillity, to a neighbour-
ing State."

The coliiers at the Cwinburla pit, after workin,o-
their turn under ground, usually ascend by an upright lad-
der and stages. One of them, on Thursday -sennight,
denly started from his partners to get into the basket %rhi,h
was then ascending the pit, but failed to get into it, and
clung to the side with both hands, with a view, it is sup-
posed, to save time. Before he had ascended five yards,
the men at the bottom of the pit begged, of him to let go
his hold. He answered that he would get up fatuously..
When he had ascended about half way,or
they ma io snot}
signal to the engineer to let him down, and: ho himseli
called out to get up as quick as possible. When he had
reached within a yard or two of the mouth of tho pit, h:s
strength failed, and he fell to the ho!tom. no lied
up-
wards of an hour. The pit is 59 yards deep.—Carnet.oon
