PEDESTRIANISM.,—WM. West, the celebrated
Oxfordshire Pedestrian, started rtterilav morn-
ing at Brixton; to do. thirty;,aniles;t;:t•-cur hours,
for a stake of as many guineas .as• miles. He did
half the distance in three minutes under two
hours, and he accomplished the whole of the task
in one minute within the given time, but much
distressed.

AIR. EDlTOR,—Please to insert the following in
your very excellent Paper :—On walking through
Bond-street a few days back, I observed •a number
of little boys looking anxiously about them. On
enquiring the cause of such an unusual species of
visitors in this street, one of them told me that
they were in waiting to assist any Dandy who
might have the misfortune to drop any thing, as
stooping would not at all agree with the economy
of those Bucks' dress, and was consequently com-
pletely exploded by them. A.PEDESTRIAN.

LIMERICK, SEPT. 2.—Yesterday at two o'clock
his Excellency Earl TALBOT arrived at Swinburn's
Hotel, in this city, on his way to Killarney.
Lordship, accompanied by his brother, the
Honourable and Reverend John C. Talbot, his
I'ri►•ate Secretary, Major de Rosse, Aid-de-Camp,
Viscount Inglestry, (his Lordship's eldest son,)
the Hon, John Talbot, his second son, Lady
Frances Talbot, his daughter, and Mr. Drum-
mould. They set out immediately after for New-
castle, and were to dine and sleep at the hospi-
table mansion of Edward Carte, Esq. and next
morning proceed to Killarney. Lord Clare and
the Honourable Richard Fitzgibbon, M. P. vi-
sited his Lordship on his arrival. The Vice-
Regal Party slept on Monday night at Small-
man's Hotel, Roscrea, from whence they set out
yesterday motning at seven o'clock..—They tra-.
yelled in time most private manner, having.but two
carriages and two out-riders.

By one of the directing posts on Horley:
common, on the new road to Brighton, that turns
off at Gatton-lodge, two miles this side of Rei-
gate, it appears the distance from London to
Brighton is at length reduced to 49 miles ; and
when the improvements at Clayton-hill are com-
pleted, it is said the distance will be further re-
duced nearly two miles more.

The following curious specimen of logical de-
duction was quoted by Mr. POOLR, a Magistrate
of Kent, at a Maidstone meeting last week :—A
Mr. MASON boasted that he lived in the best
house in the world, and he proved the fact thus :
fie lived in England, which was the best country
in the world ; Kent was the hest county in Eng-
land ; Maidstone was the best town in Kent ;
Stone-street was the best street in Maidstone;
and his house was the best house in Stone-street.
The whole of the old east front of the King's
Theatre is now taking down, and is to be re-
erected, to correspond with the other part of the
building.

Lieut. CLAXTON, of the Tarter cutter, at Yar-
mouth, plunged into the sea a few days ago, and
succeeded in saving the life of a man who had
been upset in a boat—this is the ninth person
saved by Lieutenant CLAXTON'S courage anti hu-
manity.
