EXTTLAORDINARY WAGER.---JaMeS Watson, ostler of the
Swan, Upper Clapton, who is nearly 7 years of age, undertook
for a wager to draw a ig, weighing 2 cwt., 26 miles in 12 hours.
He started at 9 o'clock on Wednesday night, and completed his
task at a quarter past seven the next morning, being one hour
and three quarters within the given time. Hundreds were up
all night to witness this extraordinary feat.

BRIGHTON, AUG. 3.—Soon after three o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the Duke of YonK set off
in his travelling carriage, on a visit to Lord G.
CAVENDISH, at Compton-place, near Seaford,
where his Royal Highness is at present, hut
purposes returning to Marlborough-row to-
morrow evening. Colonel COOKE took leave of
the Royal Duke, and departed for London early
yesterday morning.

S7,IITIIFIELD-MARKET AEG. 24.—There was a great
quantity of Sheep and Lambs at market this morning, princi-
pally left over from last market day, and the prices are a little
lower ; hut the supply of Beef was rather short, and the prices
of last market day were maintained. In Hay, Straw, and
Clover, no alteration.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—Thursday night an inquisition was
taken before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. coroner, in the Board-
room. of the Workhouse of the Liberty of the Rolls, in
Bream's- buildings, Chancery-lane, on the body of Thomas
Scott, aged 40.—1 t appeared that the deceased was by trade
a shoemaker, and formerly lived in respectability ; but for the
last two years had been a pauper in the above workhouse.—
Wednesday night, a woman who was also a pauper
named Mary Bray, went into the long ward, an which
the deceased lay, fbr the purpose of making the beds.—
The deceased, who was then in bed, desired her to go
into the upper ward, and ask a man named Harwood
for his cutting knife, as he
.(deceased) wanted to cut
his corns. Witness fetched the knife and gave it the de-
ceased, who then told her to make the. beds at the other end of
the ward first, and by that time his would be ready. Shortly
after, the woman on going to the bed found the deceased co-
vered with blood. Mr. Owen, the surgeon, was sent for, when
on examination it was found that the deceased had cut the
sinues cf his left arm, near the joint, completely to the bone.—
All attempts to stop the blood were fruitless, and he died soon
afterwards. He had appeared desponding and wild for some
days. Verdict—lnsanity.
A melancholy catastrophe has carried desola-
tion into the family of the Marshal Prince D'Ecx•-
3tunr.. His eldest daughter, who last year married
M. Vigier,. jun., Proprietor of the Baths on the
Seine, was happily delivered of a son, eight days
ago, at the chateau de Savigny, department of
the Seine and Oise. Her health was in a very
favourable state, and there was every reason to
hope her prompt recovery. On Sunday, the 19th
instant, her young sister swallowed a pin, which,
after long and painful efforts, was extracted. In
the mean time, an imprudent person ran with a
countenance betraying great terror, and informed
Madame Vigier of the disaster, which caused so
sudden and Niolent a revulsion of nature, that in
two hours, notwithstanding every professional
aid, she expired. She had not attained the age
of 18.—(Pty, is Paper.)

The new line of road from Sheffield to Man-
chester, through Glossop, is now completed.
This undertaking opens a much nearer communi-
cation to Manchester and Liverpool, and passes
through a beautiful aMd romantic country, hi-
thorto considered almost inaccessible.
