GRAND WALKINn MATCH.

The Siackheath Pedestrian continues ItiS la-
boars, and yesterday, from his improved appear-
ance, very sanguine hopes were entertained of his
success, He wears a green shade, or bonnet; on
his head during the day, and though much annoyed
by the crowd which press.upon him, he exhibited
less app.earance of fat igue t hats hc did some days ago.
The numbers which obstruct bins sOmetinies put
hint much out of temper. On Wednesday he Was
twice tripped up, and in the indignation of the
moment he struck some of the persons near him.
In consequence of this, a warrant was yesterday
Obtained by one of them, and attempted to he
served on him—a circumstance which threatened
an abrupt termination of the fish., by the removal
of Wilson. This danger was happily averted, and
the triveller was suffered to prp.ceed to the accom-
plishment of Isis arduous task. On the heath it
was srid, (and it cannot be (killed that these
gentry are all fond of fair play/), that the person
who obtained the warrant was one W 1,13 had
betted against the pedestrian, and who had pur-
posely provoked the blow, in order by this ruse
to escape the loss with which he was menaced by
WILSON'S expected succes. The Heath is com-
pletely a fair in every relect, and the dustymul-
titude upon it furnish a more curious than splctil
did spectacle.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Wilson was
said to have walked 30 miles. His preceding task
.was accomplished between two and three o'clock
yesterday morning, arlien he was conveyed as usual
to Mr. Dver'_ house, where he was attended by
Mr. Lucas, the slO-geon; who on examinitig his
pulse, and the general ,appearance of his body,
declared his health to be unabated, although his
feet were a good teal excoriated, and otherwise
in a very bad sate. To counteract the effects of
the letter affliction, he had recourse to bathing in
salt and water; and having recited to rest, soon ,
forgot his cares in a sound sleep; in wh'ich he ge-
nerally remains till atvoke by his friends. 00i-
nionS as to his ultimate success, were yesterday
as various as the preceding day ; hut,. upon the
whole, we think the odds were against him. •
When annoyed ou ‘Vednesday night. an expe-
dient was resorted to, wltich completely prevZmt-
ed a repetition of the violence to which We have
alluded. Several persons followed the pedestrian
with a pore Of about ten feet in length, which
they carried in a horizontal position behind him.
By this means the crowd was effectiially preclud=
ed from closing upon him behind, while his sides
were kept free by two parallel lines of rope, ex-
trOing from each endofthe pole to some distance
before hint. The way in front was kept clear, . al-
though not without difficulty, by 'men provided
with canter's whips and sticks, and thus escorted,
he completed his twenty-ninth mile soon after 7
o'clock. He then haditis tea, and at 20 minutes
before eight he re-commenced his labours. By
this time the wind, by which he' had been previ-
ously so much. annoyed; had in a great degree
abated, and the throng being lessened in number,
he travelled with much more pleasure to himsulf...
In proportion as the night dretv4lll;.and the throng
dispeoed, our hero •imbibeo new spirits, and
trudged it along as actively as if his. task had been
but just commencing, instead of being one half
accomplished. The night was so cold, that he found
it necessary to arm himself against the chill atmos-
phere, by‘ wrapping. a warn) handkerchief 'round
his neck.

This production `rats intended for 11r. RAY-
moND's benefit, but the Licenser preferring the
public benefit, refused to allow it to be perform-
ed. The author has appealed to the world -and
printed it,-modestly enough disclaiining all merit,
(in 0

nothing to render it liable to interdiction.

As all forbidden treats have a sort of a relish,
we suppose that the Duke's Coat will 3ell in its
present form, though it could not be exposed on
the Stage, aiid therefore deem it our duty as Re-
viewers to say a few words upon• the sUbject,
which is certainly not to threadbare as to forbid
the attempt.

The anecdote, it seems, belonged to a French
theatrical piece entitledlabit de Catinat, but

bad French habits olready, find positively refused

ing, a man upon the stage who might very pos-
sibly be hanged during the run of the piece, and
be perforMing a very serious tragefly in Parii,
while the• Galleries of London were laughing at

the losses in the recent battle too, might form
another objection) but we are not bound t()
enter upon this controversy.
The plot is very simple. The Innkeeper at La
Belle Alliance, his wife, and pretty darighter,
have been a good deal incommoded by the can-
nonade of the armies, and the Inn has been al-
most knocked to pieces. The daughter's 'lover
appears, and is rejected in consequence of the
disordered state of affairs. An Aide-de-Catnp„

rives at, the Inn, wet and hungry : he hangs his
coat to dry at the are, is mistaken for the Duke
himself, dispatches Henry (the lover) for a Bri•
tish guard, to convey some -dispatches, drinks
some wine will) mine host, and retires to rest.—
Then comes Marshal NEV., who is informed that
the Duke is alone in the Inn. He imme-
diately plots to retrieve the fortune of the day,
goes to a -French post, which he had left in a
barn, and orders them to seize •the person whom,
they shall find at the Inn in a British uniform.
They arrive and find the landlord, who had dress•
ed himself for a boast in what he imagined to be

The dialogue is not remarkable for merit, and
we shall, therefore, dismiss it as only excuseabte
from beltinging to a tritle hastily got up for a
Benefit. The Soligs are generally lively, and
written to favourite French airs; but they are
also without pretensions to great praise. The fold
lowing exampie of them shall conclude our no-
