PEDESTRIANISM.—CRisr, the pedestrian, has failed by an
accident. On his return from Northampton he fell and aprained
-him leg, and could proceed no further than Dunstable. The fact
being formally certified by a surgeon called in, the bets, we are
informed, stand neutral by agreement.

An INSCRIPTION is placed in the Church-yard
of Cadoxton, near Death, referring to a horrid case of murder,
the particulars of which. were recorded in our pages last
July. Though no directly criminatory evidence was elicited
in the course of several Judicial inquiries into this dark
catagrophe, no doubt is entertained that the unfortunate
girl was murdered in a moment of confiding affection by
a monster—by whom she' had become pregnant. The mu..
nument is of massive stone, extremely simple, but of conspicu-
ous form and dimensions. The inscription has been attentively
read many hundred times during the three Sundays which have
elapsed since its erection, Cadoxton church-yard now forming
the favourite walk to the inhabitants of the surrounding district.
To record
• MURDER
This stone was erected
over the Body
of

MARGARET WI LLIAMS,
Aged ?ti
A native of Carmarthenshire
Living in service in this parish,
Who was found dead
With marks of violence upon her person
In a ditch on the Marsh
Below this Church Yard
on the Morning
of Sunday the fourteenth of July
1822.

Although
THE SAVAGE MURDERER
Escaped fora season the detection of Min
Yet
GOD RATH SET HIS MARK UPON HIM
Either for Time or Eternity
and
TILE CRY OF BLOOD
Will assuredly pursue hint
To certain and terrible,. but righteous
JUDGMENT.

OLD BAILEY.—These Sessions commenced

this day at the Justice-Hall in the Old Bailey, before the Lord
MAYOR, Recorder, and 31r. Justice BAYLEY, Alderman
1311YDOES, &c. calender, on the present occasion, is
unusually light, containing a list of only one hundred and
fourteen prisoners for trial. It does not contain one charge of
forgery, and only 5 for burglary. We regret, however, to
state, that there are five eretches for trial charged with a
nameless offence. There are at present in Newgate no less
than 18 males and five females under sentence of death, and
111 under sentence of transportation. The total number of
prisoners including those for trial at the present Sessions, is 320.
Benjamin Piper and William Piper were put to the bar on
their separate Indictments, charging them with burglariously
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mrs. Nagger, at
Tottenham ; on the 14th and 21st of February, and again on
the 2d of March. The evidence in support of the prosecution
depended on the testimony of an accomplice, which was not
wholly uncontradicted, and the Court directed an acquittal.—
Thomas Cooley and Thomas Conner were indicted for stealing
a quantity of plate, of the value of 401., from the dwelling.
house of David Bevill, E 9., Upper Harley-Street, Caven-
dish-square. It appeared from the evidence that the pri-
soner Conner contrived to enter the above gentleman's pan-
try by the area steps, and in the temporary absence of
the Butler stole the plate before-mentioned ; he was however
pursued, and observed to throw the plate into the Apollo pub-
lic-house, in Paddington-street, where it was afterwards found
behind the door. Cooley was also taken with Conner in the
pursuit. The Jury found both the prisoners Gullty—DMh.

A letter from Lisbon, dated the Ist instant,
states, that General do REG() had been recalled, in consequence
of his conduct in the affair of Amerante, and that he was to ,be
succeeded by General 14:oou.
Never, we. believe, did the Spring Seasou, at
any, former period, within the memory of 'the
oldest and most experienced horticulturist, give
to :the fruit trees',' generally, a fairer promise of
abunuaut produce, than the present, and espe-
cially to the grape vines, which are largely fruited
at. almost every, bud.
Captain H ENRIV IXON,souof Colonel DIXON,
of the First West Yosk Militia, late of Gledhow, had, on
the 11th of last montli; a very narrow escape with his life
from the hands of an Italian banditti. The Captain, it ap.
pears, was travellin with a friend about eight o'clock. in
g the evening of that day, and was within about three quar-
ters of a mile of Faenza, when their carriage was stopped
by a band of foot.robbers, and they were-dragged to the
ground, and with knives at their throats told that they would
be murdered if they moved an inch, or made the least noise.
While in this situation, the banditti rifled their carriage, and
took out of .the pockets notes and gold to the amount of 3351.,
with a number of drawings and present, intended for the
friends of the travellers in England. Having effected their
purpose, the villains made off and escaped with their boqty.
We are happy to add, that neither the Captain nor his friend
sustained any personal injury.
On Saturday last a most beautiful and curiously
veined we of of agate was found on the estate of Claremont, be.
longing to James Nairne, Esq. by Mr. Hem, when digging near
the bottom of n steep bank near the south side of his farm, a short
distance from the spot where Archbishop Sharpe was murdered.
It was discoveVed embedded in the clay or till, about 3 feet below
the surface, in a horizontal position. Immediately to the west.
ward there is a large whin-atone fixed on the ground—the
memorial, probably, -of some deed of blood, or the monument
of one whose memory it has survived. The wedge measures in
length exactly 12 inches ; Prom 1 h to 3 inches in breadth, and
from 1-4th to one inch in thickness. Itpossesses a very fine
polish, and it is suppesed to hare been an instrument of sacri.
tee used in barbarous ages.--(Caledonian Mercury.)
