PEDESTRIANISM.

Mr. R. Pearson's match from London to Salisbury and back '
to Grosvenor-place, 162 miles, in 48 hours for 300 sovereigns,
excites much interest, as being a most extraordinary attempt.
The pedestrian started from the top of Grosvenor-street, after
the dock had struck twelve yesterday Morning and proceeded
to Bagshot, 29 miles, in five hours and a quarter, where break.
fast was ready for him. Ills next mitt was to Overton, 66mile:4,
of one o'clock where our informant left him travelling in the
rain. At this time he was backed to win, the weather not being
considered against him only as to shoes.

Tor Gitecg De.einies.—A Greek, called
Nicol.° CHIA PALA, has. just published in Lon-
rle►n, in the shape of a letter to the Loan MA Wilt,
more serious accusations against his countrymen
than have ever appeared bi the Austrian Observer,
lie charges the Government with rapacity,
venality, and, corruption. lie announces his
despair of their cause, unless the Governments
of Europe step in between then and the
Mussulman - scymetar ; and he crowns all
by a narrative of an act of oppression,
injustice, and ingratitude, towards himself,
which, if it did not produce, could not fail to
eggmate, his other complaints. According to
this statement, Capt. Nicoll) Chia fa la had been
so ardent a friend, of Greek. Tibet 1, that he
has traversed half the world to proeure it. funds
and friends. In the year 189.3, he left Tri-
polizza, and proceeded to Calcutta, in the. East
Indies, where he obtained subscriptions to
the amount of five.and-twenty thousand rupees.,
—This suns was placed at .the disposal of the
Greek Committee in London, with an under-
' standing or stipulation that the expellees of Cap..
tain Mauler; journey (amounting to 1501.) should
be paid out of it before its appropriation. It was,
boWever, withdrawn without'this deduction, and
the Captain has been left to starvation, or, to the
success of a petition to that very Gov. rnment which
he now denounces. The Greek Deputies here
refuse to pay his claims, and have only afford him
a pittance 'to enable him to return home. We
know nothing about the facts of the case, and
cannot decide on such an. ex parte staftment ;
but if they are as the author-of the letter repre-
sents them, the conduct of the Greek Govern-
ment and ;their Louden Del Niles cannot be too
strongly reprobated:

ral Pension Society was,hild on Thursday fit the City of Lon-

tine girl, which like the father and mother, is of
