minutes to spare. Betting was 5 t') 2 against both winning.
MATCH TO NOTTINOHAH.—Mr. Abernethy, the Ameteur
North countryman, completed his match to go to Nottingham,
from King land-road, at three o'clock yesterday. It was to

sovereigns only, and for another bet of 50 sovereigns, that he
did 135 miles in the first 48 hours. He won both- bets easily,
and arrived at Kingsland yesterday, in one hour and ten mi-
nutes within the given time, and but little fatigued. This is
beating the Powells, the arclays, NVest, &c. by much Wis.
Mr. Abernethy travelled 140 miles of ground in the first two
days, halting six hours only.

BAYoNNE, OCT. 22.—Sonic arrests have taken place in
the Biscayan provinces of the North of Spain. In cunse-
quence of the intrigues which have been discovered, and of
the intelligence which has subsisted with the Regency of Urgel,
all the Members of the municipality of Pampeluna have been
arrested.

Yesterday morning a woman was observed go-
ing towards the Regent's Canal, near Maiden-lane, Battle-
bridge, whose hurried manner excited the suspicion of two
men who followed her at some distance. The woman, finding
herself watched, quickened her pace, when approaching close
to. the canal, she stopt short, gave a vacant look round, and
instantly threw herself into the water. The men made all
possible speed to the spot, and in a short time succeeded in
bringing her to the bank ; but all symptoms of life had fled.
Medical aid was procured, but without effect. The deceased
is a very lusty woman, about thirty-two years of age, and
in a state of pregnancy. She wore a black bonnet, black
bombazeen gown, has a ring on her finger, which has a hole in
it. She was taken to Islington c'iurch, to be owned.
Bow-STREET.—Yesterday two young men applied for re-
dress against the Managers of Drury-lane Theatre, having paid
the price of admission to the Pit when there was not even stand..
ing room. Mr. MiNsHuer. observed, that he did not, know
that the case was cognizable before him, as so much dependfd
upon circumstances; some persons would exert themselves. at
find room where others would not; a tall man could see where
a short man could not. However, he agreed to send forTtivz
Checktaker in the evening to inquire into the transaction.
A HARD CASF.—On Sunday last, John Hidc,
a fisherman, of East Bourne, discovered a quarter keg of
spirits on the beach, opposite the sea.houses at that •plece,
which he picked up, and was taking away, when• he :was
overtaken by a man belonging to the Coast Blockade.—
At this instant, Hide accidentally fell against the wall, near
the Hope and Anchor Inn, and burst thelreg. However, there
was sufficient of its contents (about half a pint) left, to cause
his apprehension. The next day Hide was taken before J, 11.
WILLARD, Esq., and being convicted of having contraband
spirits in his possession, was (in default of paying the fine)
committed to the county gaol.—( Brighton Herald.)
On the river Darent, about half a mile from
Dartford, a paper-mill, supposed to be the first
mill of that kind in England, was erected
in the reign Of ELIZABETH by JOHN SPEL-
MAN, a person of German extraction, Kho
was a jeweller to the QUEEN. He received
the honour of Knighthood from JAMES I.
He also obtained a patent and an annuity of
2001. from CHARLES I. to enable him to carry oa
that manufacture. Paper, however, made at
Hertford, by JOHN 'FATE, jun. was used in a
book printed in 1594. At Dartford, in the year
1590, was erected a mill for slitting bar Iran for
the purpose or converting it into wire._
Some of the masts in the King's dock-yards
are three feet in diameter, and 40 yards in length.
These lqng firs are such conductors of sound,
that a watch placed against one end may be heard
to beat very distinctly by an ear applied to the
other end.

The following bet was gained the other week
by Mr. FARQUARSON of Finzean. That gentle-
man undertook to shoot, with one of his arms
fastened to his body, and the assistance of a ser-
vant to load his fowling piece, ten brace of
partridges between the usual breakfast and dinner
hours, which singular operation he easily accom-
plished within that period, besides having killed
an additional brace and a half of these•birds, and
five hares.—(Exeter "'fired.)
