run any horse that has ever beat him, next Spring, four miles

had been run in 32 minutes by others. This match was won
with four minutes to spare and tolerably easy.

OSTEND, Ocr. 12.—An extraordinary report
has reached us here from Brussels. It is said
that an Englishman of rank has suddenly set off
post from thence for Italy, leaving word for his
wife that his life had become the object of a con-
spiracy. The report goes on to mention other
circumstances which I do not choose to repeat,
as the real causes of this gentleman's unexpected
flight.

We are desired to say, that it was not Mr.
BOYCOTT, one of the partners of Messrs. Rogers, Towgood,
and Co., of St. Clement's-lane, Lombard-street, who was stated
in our paper of yesterday, to be passing through the Strand,
with a great amount of property in his possession, when he was
suddenly seised with an epilectie fit, and dropped senseless
amidst the crowd, &c.—( Times.)

A serious riot took place on Monday at Tal-
lagh, Ireland, between the woollen and paper
workers employed in the manufactories there,
but the timely arrival of the Police quelled it
without any serious consequences.
HAZARD and Co., the present Contractors,
sold in Shares Two Prizes of 25,0001., 31st
August last. Next Tuesday, Six Prizes of
20,0001., with other Capitals, must all be drawn.
IlizAlin and Co. are selling at their old esta-
blished Offices, Royal Exchange, 26, Coruhill,
and 324, Oxford-street, where they sold in the
last year's Lotteries alone, Five Prizes of 30,0001.
and 20,0001., and in a recent Lottery all the
30,0001. Prizes. HAzikno have Agents in all the
principal Country Towns.
TIIE EARTH AND ITS INHABITANTs.—A curi-
ous calculator sends us the following statement :
When the earth is compared to an ant-hill, the
comparison, he observes, is very exact, so far as
respects the proportional bulk of the animals and
their habitation. If we suppose that there are
at present 000 millions of human beings on the
globe, and that ten persons, men, women, and
children, on an average, are equal in bulk to a
cubic yard ; then the whole existing race of man-
kind if closely packed together, would form a
mass equal to a pyramidical mountain one thou-
sand yards each nay at the base, and sixty
yards high—that is, a mountain rather less
than Arthur's Seat. Farther, if we suppose
150 generations from the Flood to the present
time, and estimate each generation at three hun-
dred millions, the whole, if brought into a mass,
would not equal in bulk Benlawers in Perthshire,
assuming that mountain to be a cone of 15,000 feet
diameter at the base, and 3,700 feet in
Yet Mount Etna is thirty times the size of Ben-
lawers—Chimborazzo is ten times the size of
Etna—and it would require ten thousand millions
of mountains like Chirnborazzo to make a mass
equal to the globe.globe.--(Scotsman.)

BRADFORD COWERS AND WEAVERS.

(From the Leeds Intelligencer.
We have received the follo-ing

" BRADFORD, OCT. 12.

" The contest between the masters and workmen has existed
so long, and acquired so much an appearance of perma-
nency, that it has almost ceased to be considered any other
than as a matter of course. Besides what you are acquainted
with already, I have to mention, that three• men were appre-
hended here by a warrant from Mr. Stocks, on a charge of mo-
lesting a man who had left the Union, and returned to his
employment, on Tuesday last ; but, on the appearance of
the parties before the Magistrates, the complaint was dis-
charged.

" HALIFAX, OCT. 12.

" It is stated that a number of operatives in this neighbour-
hood arc coming to their senses, some having signed the en-
gagement required by the masters, not to contribute to the
Union, and consequently been admitted to work again. Others,
however, appear to be making a grand push for a lengthened
stand-out, having scoured this town in endeavouring to ob-
tain the necessary funds ; but with what success I am not able

to atates

KEIGHLEY, OCT. J.

" Nothing worthy of notice has, this week, transpired con-
cerning tile Cumbers and Weavers' Union, in this town.
Should the trade continue in its present depressed state a few
weeks longer, the general opinion is, that hundreds of the above
class will be out of employ in this neighbourhood."

" HUDDERSFIELD, OCT. 12.

" There have beenn no meetings either of masters or men
since last wrote to you. The opinions of the people here
(both in and out of trade), upon the Union, are various, ac-
cording as the respective parties are interested and Affected by
combination. The Radicals speak in just terms of indignation
against it."
