Extraordinary .F.rertion.—On Wednesday last,
at Newton Abbot, a Gentleman of the name of
Ateherky, undertook, for a wager of 5/. to walk
six miles within the hour, upon 110 yards of
ground, which he completed In foriyonine ntimites,
without once rising upon the inn.
It is said that tbe postponement of the Levee.
caused great disappointment : those, however,
who mean to attend the Levee announced for the
30th instant need be under no apprehension—the
Ciusidess to whom hely are looking for, presentation
on that day will Certainly bq tound in, her Drato•
big-Room at Coopers' Hall, when she will dis-
tribute her favours to all who .atteod : for the
value of these favours we must look to the
Scheme of the present Lottery, surpassMg as it
does those of all that have gone before it, and
in which the most protnintot feature is the ;tient
qecrease in the price of Tickets, .and the gteat in-
crease in .their value. Tidetsof preeotation are
