GREAT FOOT RACE FOR 1,000 Sor.
The great Foot Race over Amesbury Course, between the
celebrated runner Nash, from Nottingham, and R. Frampton,
Esc. of Ilungay, for 1,000 sov. took place on Tuesday. It had
excited the greatest interest, Nash being considered the fastest
runner of the distance of this match (twelve milts) in England,
and it was known that Mr. Frampton could do more than ten
miles within an hour. The Course, of two miles, was thronged
with spectators, and the runners performed each two miles as
under, Mr.. Frampton receiving two minutes at the finish :
NASH. M. S. FRAMPTON. M. S.
First two miles - 11 32 First two miles - 11 30
Second - - 11 31 Second - -, 11 34
Third - - 11 50 Third - - 11 52
Fourth - - 12 1 Fourth . - 12 2
Fifth - - 12 450 Fifth - - 12 59
Sixth - - 12 40 Sixth - - 14 3

72 201 74 0
It was accountedione of the finest races ever witnessed, and it
was thought Mr. Frampton could have been near winning with-
out his two minutes, as he did not use all his exertion in the last
half mile when close upon his opponent. Nash did the ten
miles in-59 min. 44 sec., and Mr. Frami:+ton the like distance
in 59 min. 57 sec.

bledon within a month.

By a Brussels Paper, received last week, it
appears that a Journeyman Baker had obtained,
in the Vienna Lottery,
.the Grand Prize of
19.0,000 Francs. This may sound high in the
German States, but our friend CARROLL, the
present Lottery Contractor, has managed much
better for English Adventurers, having in his
Scheme no less than 4 Prizes of 1525,000, equal
to Six Hundred Thousand Francs each, with
many other Capitals and Prizes, forming a Grand
Total exceeding Five Millions of Francs, and
which will be distributed in Sterling English
Money on Wednesday 31st This Month (August.)
ST. HELENA SILK.--The lion. Company's ship
Farquharson arrived at St. Helena, from England,- the '26th
of February last, bringing Captain PH.Loar, in charge of
some silk worms; eighty were landed, with a small quantity
of eggs; happily the ship arrived on the very evening the
last stock of mulberry leaves were expended. The worms
and eggs were removed on shore, and the insect ate most vora-
ciously of the island leaves ; since, they have gone on in an
incredibly progressive improvement—spun their cocoons, and
laid eggs to the amount of eight thousand—not more than six
were bad, which may be attributed to the first moth being a
female, and which had come into existence three or four days
before a male made his appearance. They had been exceed-
ingly oviparous since, and while the Andromache was there
many hundreds of eggs were again hatched. The climate of
• the island being generally from 74 degrees to 82 degrees of
Fahrenheit ir, the valfies, seems exactly adapted to the rear-
ing of this valuable insect. Captain Pillon, in unison with
Lieutenant Daniel O'Connor, of the St. Helena Artillery, Hon.
East India Company's service, are indefatigable, having spared
no pains in the care and treatment of them. The mulberry-
tree grows all over the island, and lately many hundreds have
been planted from slips, which are in a promising condition ;
the island produces two sorts, China and English, one of
:which is an evergreen. It is calculated, from the worms ex-
pected from the eggs already hatched, that in the course of a
few months, should the mulberry leaves not fail for so prolific
an insect, as much silk will be produced as will be worth at
least fifty thousand pounds sterling. This introduction of the
silk worm will, no doubt, enhance the value of landed property
there, give employment to an overgrown population, from which
much benefit must be derived, and the situation of the farmer
greatly alleviated, as their state at present is distressing, from
the unfavourableness of the last two or three years' seasons.—
