town on Monday next.—(Maidstone Journal )
Mr. WETIIRRALL has decli:ied ac:epting the in•
vitation of a number of Gentlemen to become
Candidate for Westminster, partly from his pro-
fessional engagements and other private reasons.
Captain BRRKBLEY, of the Royal Navy, has de.
dared his intention of becoming a Candidate for
the city of Gloucester. The contest between (his
gentlemen and Mr. CooPeß will prove a smart
one.

CORN-EXCHANGE, MAY 27.-I'he continued

FIFTY-FIVE MILES A-DAY FOR FIFTEEN DAYS.
Mr. FLOWERS, the Hampshire pedestrian, who
started on the ISth instant, to do the above ex-
traordinary undertaking, was going on well on
Monday, the Sth day. His route has been through
Basiiigstoke, Salisbury, and 14xeter, and from
thence into Somersetshire. He slept at Wells on

Strawberries ere now rapidly falling in Covent-
Garden Market. Yesterday morning, they sold
as low as half-a-crown the thumb pottle, each
containing about 20 strawberries.

A. short time since, Mr. H. Smith, jun. of-Don.
easter, struck with the appearance of a little chim-
ney-sweeper, between three and four years of,
age; was induced to inquire who he was ; the
persons to whom he belonged informed Mr. S.
they had purchased him of a female tramp, but
that she would not tell them from whence
she brought him. The poor child has a
most prepossessing countenance, and all his ruin•
ners indicate that he is of a superior condition ;
he states his name to be Richard Stansfield, but
cannot tell the name of the place were lie lived;
he says his father resides in a large house, anti
dressed in black, and that his own mother -taught
him to say his prayers, which the woman never
did. The child remains at present under the care
of Mr. Smith, at Doncaster, who is fully
im-
pressed with the conviction that be has been
stolen,( Leeds IntelliBeneer.)

BUONAPARTE'S WEALTII.—It is a matter of
speculation in some of our daily prints by what
means BUONAPARTE has acquired the immense
riches which it is said he has lately become pos-
sessed of. The circumstance of a draft for a.

large amount, signed Napoleon, having been pre-
sented and duly honoured at a certain eminent
Banker's, has given rise to the idea, (not at all
unlikely) that be had employed, an agent to buy
Lottery Tickets ; and when it is recollected that
MARTIN and Co. of No. 8, Cornbill, end No. 120,

Oxford-street, lately sold Prizes of 40,0001.

20,0001. 10,0001. &C. it is not improbable that:
he made his purchases at their Offices, where they
hope to sell part of the Three 20,0001. Prizes in
the Lottery to commence the 4th of JUNE.

ThoughßlSH's Luck_ last Lottery has not quite
extended from Pole to Pole, yet it will be seen by
the immense List of Capitals he has just publish-
ed, that the two extremities of the empire have

shared in his good fortune ; for it is deserving of
notice that the most remote part of Scotland, and.

Penzance in Cornwall, have each bad Share•, and

here are few towns between the two extremes

hat have not likewise participated. Butt will no

donbt give as good an acco►int of the three of

20,0001. and the 104 other Capitals this Lottery,
which is an improvement on the last.
