GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR TWENTY POUNDS.
—On Monday the great foo-trace between John Smith,
the London champion, and Benjamin Badcock, of Bir-
mingham, came off at the Beehive cricket-ground, Wal-
worth, in the presence of an immense number of specta-
tors. Both men had obtained great notoriety as pedes-
trians, and much interest was created. The contested
distance was 440 yards, arid in which there were 12
hurdles placed at equal distances, over which the men
were to leap. In betting sto 4 were laid on Smith, and
money to a very large amount was pending the result of
this contest. The usual preliminaries being adjusted,
the men appeared at the starting-flag, and the signal
being made the men entered into the contest with great
speed. Smith was the first to clear the nearer hurdle,
closely pursued by Badcock, and at 200 yards the men
were in equal positions ; it was quite manifest that
Smith had superiority in speed, while Badcock excelled
in leaping the hurdles. A spirited race ensued the re
tnaining distance, both competitors making strenuous
efforts for the winning goal, and running together to
the last hurdle, which they bounded over with elasticity,
and, after an admirable contest, Badcock came in the
winner, beating his Opponent by two yards, The Lon-
' donors parted with their money in great dismay, which
the Birmingham fancy pocketed with great alacrity.
A VICTIM TO SCIENCE.—George Cuthbert was
charged with being drunk at an untimely hour in the
streets. When asked by the policeman who he was ?
" A victim to science," hiccupped George ; " but I've
found it out." " Found out what ?" inquired the police-
constable. " Silence, and I'll tell you," murmured
George. "Don't you know, and if you don't you ought
—you ought, I say, to know, that I've been indeavour-
ing to hascertain the comparative strength of alcoholic
fluids for many years, and I've just found it out. It's
whisky, sir. Tell you how I did it. I takes three glasses
of brandy, no effect ; three of gin, no go • three of
whisky, done in a minute. My grandmother always
said I d be a victim to my scientific thirst." " Very
well," said the constable ; "come with me and study in
the watch-house."—Liverpool Journal.
IMPUDENT Ronnenv.--Monday afternoon, about
half-past three o'clock, a man, dressed in a flannel jacket.
paper cap, and having all the appearance of a carpenter,
came to the door of Clerkenwell Police-eourt, and, ad-
dressing Waddington, the gaoler, inquired after the fate
of a person who, in the course of the day, had been
charged with an assault, and, on being answered, he de-
liberately walked over to the shop of Mr. Smith, up-
holstei er and cabinet-maker, at the corner of Frederick-
street, immediately opposite the court, entered the shop,
and taking up a valuable looking-glass, walked out of the
shop with it. Fortunately Mr. Smith WAS just returning
home, and at a short distance from his shop saw the
fellow leaving with the property, and on ascertaining
from Mrs. Smith that she had not sold the glass, Mr.
Smith pursued the party, and overtook him about three
hundred yards from the shop, and gave him into custody.
He affected great indignation, said the looking-glass be-
longed to his master, and it was a " reflection" upon his
character. Ile was taken to the station-house, where he
gave his name John Egan. He said nothing in his de-
fence, and was fully committed for trial.
BREAK DOWN OF A RAILWAY MAIL TRAIN.—
Yesterday the Rugby and other mails did not reach
the General Post-office, in St. Martin's-le-Grand until
past seven o'clock, being two hours behind time. Great
anxiety was felt on the subject, and, on the arrival of
the mail, it was made known that, early in the morning,
the axle-tree of one of the railway carriages had
broken down, uear Chesterfield, and caused the delay.
From inquiries of the passengers, it appears that no bodily
injury of any moment was sustained by any person.
UNFORTUNATE AND SINGULAR OCCURRENCR.—On
Monday, the 9th instant, as a married woman, named
Davies, from Govilon, was proceeding on her way from
that place to Abergavenny, and was passing through the
wicket gate, opening from the fields near Pengrwllod on
to the bridge, an adder, which was lying coiled up by the
side of the pathway, sprung at her and fastened itself to
her arm. The terrified woman succeeded in shaking it
off, and ran onwards as fast as she could, but what was
her horror to find, when she paused to take breath, that
the reptile was in swift pursuit of her, and had well nigh
reached her, when fortunately a man came up and suc-
ceeded in destroying it. Afterwards, the nest of the
adder was found, containing eighteen young ones. The
woman, who was in a delicate state when the accident
occurred, has not yet recovered, and now lies in a dan-
gerous condition.--Ifer d Pines.
