The match between Lieutenant Farman and Mr. Blizzard,
of Wades Mill, took place yesterday morning at seven o'clock,
over a six-mile piece of ground, between Chalfont and the
Hermitage. Herts.- It was to make the best of the way
eighteen miles, and the winner was backed to do 'it in one
hour and fifty-four ininttles; the Lieutenant having backed
himself for twenty-fi*itovereigns m accomplish it in that
time. The parties rat'well together the first six miles, which
was' perfttrmed in forty minutes, when Air. Blizzard made
the play, and. kcat his adversary in fun exercise. The
twelve 'miles was performed in thirty-nine minutes, by /Br.
Illizaard, who was fifty yards a head ; but be hegati to fall off
his speed in the sixteenth mile, where his adversary passed him
with cut in h condition to win cleverly. The I.teuenant had
to make his play for the bet of 25 lovereigns,,and he left his
adversary, who resigned in the 'seventeenth mile, but lost his
second match by three minutes, and was much exhausted. The
original wager was ;30 sovereigns. The Lieutenant felt confi-
dent he could have won both events,. had he made his ground
good at going off: •

task of picking up one hundred stones, laid on a level plain, at
a yard distance from each other, and successively deposit them

tleman proceeded is the feat. with. apparent-ease, and was
freely backed at 3 to 2, on taking up the fiftieth stone, which
he aeeompli4ied in twelve minutes, but the persons who. gave
.the odds seemed to have forgotton that the remaining half
tired was the most laborious part of the•work, 'as every stone

within twenty minutesi or two-thirds of the time allotted, when
he gave in, being unable to proceed any further, on account of
excessive pains in his back and loins. There were considerable
bets amongst the bystanders.

YARMOIIT tr.--0/1 Tuesday morning last, the (Orem of the
roast guard station at Winterton, seized on the hea-li there a
large open lugg:,r, having on board about 200 half ankere of
Oeneva. Some resistance was made by the smugglers, and
it is supposed that several of them were :merely wounded;
and we regret to state that the officers.were very much beaten,
being opposed to ten tunes their number.
This morning, about four o'clock, Mr. EnwA n
n
MASON, a cowkeeper, living in Somers"l'own,
was retnrniog home from Stoke Newington, in a
small ehnise-cart, in which were two pigs, he met
on the road two young men, who were walking
towards London. One of thorn accoated him by
asking if be would give them a lift as far as he
was going. Mr. Mason assented, and they bath
got into the cart ; but had not proceeded far,
before one of the fellows threw him backwards
in the vehicle, and whilst in that situation
they rifled his pockets of five sovereigns, some
silver, and his watch and appendages. it
was impossible for him to cull out as one of the
robbers placed his hand over his mouth whilst
his associate committed the plunder. Two men
answering- the description of the robbers, were
afterwards met on the road,and very little doubt
exists but they will ere long be in custody.
