EXTRAORDINARY UNDERTAKING. ' •
On _ Monday last, a man, calling himself Richard Sutton,
started in the Marsh to unwind 100 yards of line from a stake
six Inches in circumference, and which lie was to accomplish
with the end of the line attached to his body, continually run=
ning round the stake, and progressively enlarging his circle
until the whole was unwound,in,twelve hours. Ile commenced
his arduous undertaking at eight 'o'clock in the morning, and
continued his exertions till past six o'clock in ths'eirening,
when a set of blackguards obtruding themselves within the
circle and interrupting the passage of theßne, he was compelled
to relinquish his task. The distance he would have run, had
he unwound the whole of the line, has been calculated to be
88 miles 438 yards • and itsera is reason to believe he would
have accomplished' it but for the interruption.—(Southampton
Herald.)

MEETING OF MARSH AND CO.'S CREDITORS
At this meeting there was, if possible, more confusion than
on the former, arising out of the anxiety evinced by parties to
prove, anti to enable them to vote for assignees, the choice of
whom was fixed for fhb day. At the opposite end of the
room to that at which the Commissioners presided, . was a table
upon which two lists of parties, to act in the capacity of assig-
nees, were placed, for the signature of the creditors as soon, as
they had ,proved.
I rom the irregularity which reigned throughout the morning
in consequence of the number of persOns collected in the room,
we were unable to gather more o the proceedings than the few
cases following :-

A Gentleman had sent it 1341 of Exchange to the Bankers to
receive the amount as agents when due ; the hill was due on
the Monday after. the parties appeared in the Gazette, and the
money was received by them. Ile now applied to know whe-
ther he was not entitled to the full amount of the proceeds of
that bill. • •
Mr. Law said he certainly was entitled to the -whole under
these circumstances.
Upon question being put to the provisional assignee (Mr.
Hare) he said, that since the last meeting there had been an
increase of claim of about 20;0004—but, notwithstanding that,
there was still an excess of assets.
The two lists for the choice of the creditors, were, one,
Messrs. Rolland, Hare, and Knight; the other, Messrs. Bol-
lard, Hare, Lewis., Bushnell, and-Hutchins. The choice, we
understand, fell on the first list, but, in consequence of some
opposition having been made • by Mr. Goren, of the firm of
Goren and Price, solicitors, Orchard-street, Portmansquare,
who attended not only for several of the creditors, but for him.

.tree Gentlemen .4- the Commissioners proceeded to a scrutiny.

Lord BURY, the son of Lord ALBEMARLE, was
quartered at Inverness in 1752. The Magistrates invited him
to an entertainment with fireworks, which they intended to give
on the morrow for the Duke of Cu 3111ERLAND'S birth-day.
He thanked them, assured them he would represent their zeal
to his Royal Highness ; but he did not doubt it would be more
agreeable to him if they postponed it to the day following, the
anniversary of the battle of Culloden. The, stared, said
they could not promise on their own authority, but would
go and consult their body. They returned, told him it was un-
precedented, and could not be complied with. Lord Bulls'
replied he was sorry they had not given a negative at first, for
he had mentioned it to his soldiers, who would not beat a die--
appointment, and was afraid it would provoke them to some
outrage upon the town.—This did—they celebrated Culloden.
ATTZMPTED SUICIDE.--Yesterday, ahout one
o'clock, an interesting young woman, apparently
not above 19 or 20 years of age, rushed into the
Green Park, and plunged into the water. She
struggled 'violently to disengage herself from
those who extricated her from her otherwise fatal
situation, exclaiming only "In again—in again!"
Her mental sufferings -were truly distressing to
every spectator; but she refused to give her
names or divulge the cause of her sorrow..
