DEERPOOT, THE INDIAN RllNNER.—Doerfoot;the
Seneca Indian, who won a match at the White Lion-
grounds, Hackney-wick, some few days back, has entered
into an agreement to run ten miles with john Levett, a
well-known pedestrian. Great interest is excited by the
match from the fact that, although Levett has accomplished
the distance of ten miles in the shortest time on record, his
opponent will allow him a min.uteis start. The race will
take place on the 30th instant at the Rotunda-gardens,
Dublin.

SUICIDE BY 'JUMPING FROM A STEAMER.—Last
night at 9 o'clock, as the steam ferry boat lrden with pas.
sengers from the Royal Pavilion Gardens was crossing the
river from North to South Woolwich, a young man of re-
spectable appearance deliberately jumped from the side of
the vessel into the water, and was carried down the stream
by the strong tide which prevailed. The captain put back,
and efforts were made to save him, but without success.
CONFESSIONS OF A COURTESAN.—The beautiful
Madame Pompadour, the mistress of Louis XV., thus re-
lates her wretchedness, amid all the pomp and splendour
by which she was surrounded, in a letter addressed to a
friend :—" There are beaVil women who envy me, and
I envy their freedom. Reason, years, the misfortunes of
the times, contempt for the petty vanities of courts,
which are pitiable when known, have thrown me into a
black melancholy which disgusts me with everything. I
once desired grandeur, and here lam satiated with it. I
am obliged to wear joy on my face, when death is in my
heart. Sire,' I say to the King, 'I am content ;' and at
the same time I scarce can refrain from weeping at seeing
myself compelled to dissimulate. In my spirit there is but
weariness; sadness overwhelms me. These are an invite,-
tion from Heaven, but I continue to wear my chains:. _
salute you, Madame, with the respect and affectionllieso!
