PEDESTRIANISM.

LAMBDZI AND WARE.—J. Lambden and R. Ware's trial
of speed fin' 201. a-side, distance 150 yards, came off yester-,
day, at the inclosed ground, at Mr. Emmergon's, .
The betting, before starting, was 3 to 2 on Ware, although a
week ago Lambden appeared to have the call. If yesterday's
running be a fair specimen of the ability of Lambden (who
measures something like 5 ft. 10 ins., and is an angular bony
fellow), this ought to be (his last appearance for a heavy
stake. Ware, his opponent, is about five feet five, clever And
quick, although the latter qualification was hardly called for
in this race. For the first forty yards the men ran together,
Ware going easy; shortly after he left his man, and about
the eighteenth, looked over his shoulder at him. At 100
yards Ware was four years in advance, and at the goal he
might have been any where; as it was he rattled in as easy
first by about seven yards.
WALKER AND MARTIN.—After some discussion respecting
a bygone affair, in which a forfeit had been made to East by
a gentleman who had undertaken to find a man to run back-
wards against Johnny Walker, the pugilist, a match was
made on the spur of the moment for Johnny Walker to rim
young Martin 100 yards backwards for a small sum. The
men were soon at the scratch, and eventually little Martin
won by a couple of yards. Walker's ankle was sprained, and
the swelling distinctly visible.
OLIVER AND COOK —G. Cook and F. Oliver ran yesterday,
at Kingston Bottom, for LA a fide, distance 110 yards. In
consequence of mutual jost line-, the umpires refused adecision
and declared the men should run again. Accordingly, Tem-
perance, who is stakeholder, has named Monday next (15th)
as the day, and Ealing as the place, for the decision of the
race.

AFFRAY AT LIMEHOUSE PIER —Yesterday Mr.
Baker, deputy coroner, commenced an investigation at the Feathers,
Cross-street, Poplar, touching the death of George Palmer, who was
drowned at Limehouse Pier, on the afternoon of Saturday, by a man
named Henry Brown thrusting him from the pier into the water.
It appears that deceased. the accused, and another man, were all
well known to each other, and had been drinking together, and wore
about to go on bear I one of the Watermen steam-boats, when a
quarrel arose, which led to the unfortunate result. Brown is in
custody. The inquiry was adjourned for further evidence, and the
jury requested that the coroner sh mid make an application to Sir
James Graham to obtain the Secretary of State's order for the pro-
duction of Brown at the future stage of the proceedings. _ _ _

ROBBERY AT LORD :I. LENNOX'S.—Yesterday infor•
mation was received by the police of a daring robbery having been
committed at the fesidence of Lord Sussex Lennox, No 150, Picca-
dilly, apd two silver tea-pots, with the Lennox crest on the handles,
two flat silver candlesticks, similarly marked, a number of table and
dessert forks and spoons, cream jug, sugar basin, two salt cellars,
mustard pot, and other articles, carried off by the thieves. It is not
known how the robbery was committed.
STATUE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.—This beautiful
white marble colossal statue, from the chisel of our eminent sculptor,
Mr. Steell, is now In such a state of forwardness, that we understand
it will be ready to be placed on its pedestal, in the monument in
Prince's-street, on the 15th of August, the anniversary of the natal
day of the great novelist and poet. Wo understand that the orna-
mental parapet and railing round the monument has been contracted
for, and promised to be ready, as well as the promenade-grounds,
by the 15th of August, on which day there will be a grand proces-
sion and inauguration of the statue, at which the public bodies and
the masonic lodges here, and from many parts of Scotland, will Five
their attendance and assistance.—Scotch paper. . .

MONKEYS AND DOGS.—A. trov of these animals has
been imported from France by 3lonsier Philippe, as a fresh attrac-
tion to the Strand Theatre. They have been trained to perform
certain antics which present a close imitation of the actions of the
higher animals, who are induced to see them perform. A partie
carree of monkeys are seated at a table, and go through all the for-
mularies of dining, being waited on by a facetious cook, whose busi-
ness it appears to be to taste of every dish, and out of every bottle,
before he serves lt. This sort of performance was exhibited some
years since at the St. James's Theatre. The dogs dance, play with
a shipping rope, and help to perform an episode, called
.;
"Shooting a
Deserter." Though not of an elevating character, this

that a letter had reached Windsor, addressed to the swindler, "J.

application was made to the authorities at the General Post-office,
through the medium of Colonel Moberly, the Secretary, to have the
letter opened, in the expectation that i•s contents might possibly far-
Dish some clue to the whereabouts of the party, so that he might be
briught to justice. A letter has ben received, in reply to the appli-
cation, from Colonel Moberly, which states that the Postmaster-
General has no power to comply with the request. We believe that
such power is only vested in the Home Secretary; but whether the
Postmaster-General has communicated
