RACE.—A.gentleman, of the name of Webber,
who bad performed several pedestrian 'le,•es, under-
took yesterday, for a wager of 100 guineas, to ride
nine miles within half an hour, and run five in ano-
ther half hour, making in the whole 14 miles. Mr.
W. started at Two-mile Brook, near Colebrook, in
a light sulky, arawn byt fine blood mare, and per-
formed nine miles in four minutes less than the
given time. He started on his pedesti ian under-
taking at the half hour.—lt was a near thing—Alter
going four miles in a few seconds under 24 minutes,
the Pedestrian laboured under great distress, but tic
recovered his wiqd, and won the match, in six se-
conds less than the given time.

On Sunday last the mangled remains of the
murdered infant, Margaret Huxtable, were 'inter-
red in Dodbrooke Church-yard, near Plymouth, in
a manner that evinced most strongly the popular
feeling at her untimely fate. The corpse was pre-
c'ided to the grave by Mr. Webber, the Minister,
and several Constables, bearing their maces ; and
the pall was supported by eight giils,• near the age
of the deceased, uniformly dressed in winie, with
black ribbons and .scarfs. Immediately behind the
corpse were the unhappy parents ; next followed a
number of little girls, tour deep, and hand in hand I
then a number of boys in a similar form, t hen w.o.
:men, four deep, and lastly men, making altogether
about two thousand persons, of various ranks and
descriptions: A subscription has been entered into
for ereding a tomb to her memory. The mur-
derers havo hitherto, we regret to say, evaded de-
teaiOn.
