CAPTAIN SWAINICS MATCHES.
The first match wax to trot n horse, in harness, seven miles
in half an hour, for one hundred sovereigns ; and secondly, to
ride the same horse ten miles in half an hour, the whole to be
done within two hours. The matches took place at day-break
yesterday on the Romford road, (the harness match) over three
miles and a half of ground, with a good circle to turn. The
half was done in 14 min. and 20 seconds, with a pull up and
backing the wheel once for galloping, and the other half was
done in 14 min. and 20 seconds, winning by one minute and 14
seconds. The horse did not appear fatigued. The gallop
match, after having been well rubbed down and the mouth well
washed, the Captain who rides more than twelve stone mounted
the saddle and went five miles out and returned, after waiting a
quarter of an hour he did the Ave miles in 13 minutes and 50
seconds, and the other half in 14 minutes 10 seconds, and won
the match easily with two minutes to spare.

Ma. MACILEADY.—The lady recently married
by this distinguished performer was a Miss AT•
KINS, an actress of considerable distinction at the
Dublin Theatre. As to the Inn lately purchased
by Mr. MActtsAnv at Narrowby, which led to
the statement that he had abondoned rumoured
notions of the (lurch for the liar, was bought
merely as a profitable investment of his money.
It cost 4,0001., and Mr. M. has let it for 4001. a
year, for fourteen years,so that it maybe deemed
a tolerably good investiture.—(Morning herald.)
Miss BEAUMONT, of Covent-garden Theatre,
at the close of the present season, takes leave of
the stage for ever, and will be Ird to the temple
of Hymen by Mr. OWEX, of the East India
house, who has long beets enamoured of this
amiable Ind y.—(Mornhig Paper.)
Auld) LANG auld beggar man,
" weel graced wi' mealy bags," went sonic One ago to a farm
house, and asked quarters for the night, a boon seldom refused
by farmers of any condition. Sitting round the Ingle, and talk-
ing of the days of other years, the beggar, among other stories,
said he minded of the battle of Falkirk in 1745, end that he had,
for safety, lain behind a heap of stones to witness the engage
ment. "At my back," said he, " lay a young man, and we I
squeezed ourselves close together, for fear o' the balls that
whizzed about our heads, though we were whiles tempted to
peep over the statics, and see what was gaen on." The gucle-
man o' the house instantly gave die beggar a hearty shake o'
the hand. " Mess you man, are you ? I was the one
that lay at the back o' the atones wi' you." Clean sheets and
the best cheer the house could produce were the portion of the
auld beggar liar that night.—(Stirling Journal.)
REMAIMMILIC OCCURRINCE,..OII Sunday morn-
ing a man and his wife, in the village of Mitcham, when
separating for the remainder of the day, after a desperate
quarrel, the one-to go picking rosebuds in the fields, the other
to the alehouse, were heard by a neighbour to make use of
the following horrible language. The woman said, " I hope I
shall never see you come into this house again till you are
brought in a corpse," anti the man replied when leav-
ing the door, 44 I !mite I never shall come in here to you again '
til I am dead and with these imprecations in his
mouth he departed, as was his usual custom, to the public
house, where he sat till he was intoxicated, anti commenced,
in this state, a quarrel with another drunken man, which ter-
minated in their going out to fight in a neighbouring field,
when
after about Live rounds, this wretched man received a blow in
the neck, which produced his death in a moment; and by three
o'clock in the afternoon the miserable wife was informed duty±
her rash wishes were just about to be exactly realized.
