CEREMONY AF CONSECRATION AT CHARTER
House.--Thursday, at 11 o'clock, the Bishop of
L',NnoN, accompanied by his Chaplain, arrived at
Charter House, and consecrated a piece of land ad-
j•-.lning the Wilderness, which had, it is believed,
been formerly consecrated, but had of late years
bring used for common purposes. A handsome
tent was t rested on the ground, furnished with car-
pets and atable, with a chair for the Bishop. The ce-
remonry being closed, the company.proceeded to
the Schoolmaster's house, where they were re-
ceived and entertained with great hospitality_ and
politeness by Mr. and Mrs. Russell.
This morning, at eight o'clock, ate veteran
Pedestrian, Old BARNETT, commenced his ar-
duous task of walking 1000 miles in 500 hours,
being two miles in every hour, successively, both
day and night. He appears in high spirits, with
his dress decorated with the Coburg colours.—
The ground he walks is half a mile out and in,
along Lark Hall Lane, between the Clapham and
Wandsworth Roads.

LITERATURE..—Mr. RING, who, we understand,
is prepari';g a Translation of VIRGIL, the Pro-
spectus of which we lately noticed, is a Wylieha-
;nisi, and whilst at Winchester was under the tui-
tion of BURTON, WARTON, and COLLINS. This
Gentleman has written some Poems andTransla-
dons, whiCh are justly esteemed ; and his unpub-
lished Manuscripts have received the flattering
approbation of many distinguished individuals in
the republic of Letters.
At the late Manchester Sessions, one of the
Jury not being satisfied with the guilt of the
prism-ter under trial, resisted the opinion of the
eleven—and they were'ell locked up together.—
They remained_ there from Friday at noon, till
seven o'clock on Saturday morning, when the
eloquence or perseverance of the one, it appeared,
had triumphed over the eleven, by their returning
a verdict of Not Guilty, on a person charged with
a robbery :--This circumstance reminds us .of
a story often referred to. by the late Lord
ALVANLEY• A Juror stood in a similar po-
sition of obstinacy with the individual -abode,'
to, and, after a fasting contest, obtained his point.
In this person, the Judge recognized a man
Whom he had repeatedly seen upon the same
duty at different Assizes in the same Court,
and who had uniformly battled his own stomach,
against his fellow jurors, in support of his own
opinion. His Lordship took occasion, there-
fore, to ask the man how it happened, that
when he was on the Jury, there had always
been such a delay in returning the verdict ?
" Why, please your Lordship," said the Juror,
" it has always been my misfortune to have to
serve with eleven most obstinate fellows."

One of the partners in the house of ItoNDF.LL
and BRIDGE passed through Frankfort lately, in
pursuit of the thieves who stole their diamonds.
He has already been fortunate enough to tind one
of the party at Aix-la-Chapelle. Ibis fellow, who
was seized in bed, made o'confession, and furnish-
ed information t% bich wijl probably lead to the dis-
covery of the other.
