PEDESTRIAN WAGER.--Mr. PORTER, of Great Portland-
street, undertook, for a wager of twenty guineas, to go to the
thirteen mile stone on the Bath road, from Piccadilly, and
back to Hyde Park corner, a distance of twenty-six miles, in
four hours. He started yesterday morning at five o'clock
from Hyde•patk corner, accompanied by five gentlemen
on horseback, and arrived at Hounslow at thirty-two
minutes past six. He returned back again to Hounslow after
touching the mile stone, at thirty-six minutes past seven,
having one hour and fifty-two minutes left to perform the
other ten miles, which was twenty minutes more time ti►an
what he did it in on going out. Bets were then in his favour,
and he appeared in high spirits. He was exactly an hour
going the next five miles, and was theta so completely fatigued
that he gave up the wager, having five miles more to perform
in fifty two minutes, although half an hour before giving in
he offered to double the bet. One of the gentlemen who ac-
companied hint on horseback has undertaken to go the same
i distance in the given time for forty guineas on Friday next.

The new Farce forthcoming at the Haymarket
Theatre is attributed to the Author of Exchange
no Robbery, and therefore the Public are likely
to be gratified by " Hook or by Crook."

Wickham, Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs. M'Kensie, Captain
Arnbrosse, Captain Bygrore, Captain Faultll, Captain Monk-
lank, Captain Mebber. and Captain Wheeler.
In the City of London there has,,for a number
'of years, existed a Society, called " The Sons off'
Commerce," formed for the purpose of relieving
such of their Members as might meet with any
misfortune, oe become reduced in the, world. A
for the purpose
Meeting was called on Tuesday,
of addressing the QUEEN ; but much to the credit
of the Members, the object was frustrated by the
almost unanimous adoption of a Resolution di-
rectly opposite to that proposed.

EGYPTIAN MUMMY.

The Ilunterian Xuseum
.at Glasgow has just
been enriched by the acquisition of an Egyptian

MUEDIIIy, the donation of Mr. J Oill U A HEY WOOD,
jun., of that city, which, ,from its high state of
preservation, may be considered as the most in-
teresting addition, .in, the Antiquarian Depart-
ment, made to that very valuable collecti...l since

it became. the. property of the University. •
• The body, shrouded in from fifty to sixty folds
of rather coarse pale brick-red coloured 'linen, is
deposited in a strong wooden coffin, fashioned-so
;as to bear a rude resemblance to the human shape.
At the. upper extremity is carved a face, the fea-
ture's of which (as is the case with all Egyptian
sculpture) are very much of the Negro cast. The
coffin, along the entire -length of its outside, is
richly ornamented with a profusion of hierogly-
phyCal characters, of various colours, all in a state
of the most perfect preservation.
The case immediately containing the body is
again inclosed in a second, similarly shaped, but
more sparingly ornamented, and exhibiting a
greater appearance of antiquity.
This highly interesting relic was examined in
presence of several professors. Upon opening
the inner coffin, the freshness of the l; Zen form-
ing the investment, excited a desire of carrying
the investigation the length of ascertaining the
actual existence of an embalmed human body.

A longitudinal incision was made through the
coverings immediately over the face, which were
evidently continuous folds of the same web.
Those in Immediate contact with the skin were
soaked in liquid asphaltum, a substance of highly
antiseptic power, and said to have been employed
by the Egyptians in embalming. The head was
completely denuded of these coverings, showing
a face, apparently female, in an astonishing
state of preservation.
Though the features were much collapsed, the
face was no where divested of skin. The skin
itself was of a chesnut-brown colour. The
brow was well shaped, though, if any way de-
fective, narrow ; and to some it may be in-
teresting to learn, the organ of Music was pro-
minent *. The nose, though slightly compress-
ed, retained enough of its original shape to be
recognized as Roman. The cheek-bones were
prominent. The mouth, most likely from the
shrinking of the muscles attached to it, was
wider than accorded with the general good
proportion of the face. The space between
the noise and the chin, especially between the
nose and mouth, was also proportionally too
distant. Independent, however, of these excep-
tions, the face was decidedly handsome. There
appeared upon the chin not the slightest vestige
of hair, but that upon the eyebrows was distinct,
and finely arched. Upon the scalp there was a.
profusion of silky golden hair, about two and a
half inches in length. A small portion of the
scalp accidentally removed, showed the skull
with all the freshness of recent bone. Having
separated the lips about the eighth part of an
inch, the fore teeth could be seen, remarkably
white, and regularly shaped.
One circumstance must have struck all who
had an opportunity of seeing the above inte-
resting examination ; namely, the dissimila-
rity of the features to what we are taught
to believe were those of the inhabitants of Egypt,
at the remote period at which the custom of
embalming existed in that country.—A moment's
recollection will suffice to convince us that this
circumstance can in no way throw discredit
on the antiquity or genuine character of the
Mummy. It is sufficiently well known that at all
times the conqueror has adopted in a greater or
more partial degree, the customs of the con-
quered. We should therefore naturally expect
that the Grecian settlers whom Alexander left
in different parts of Egypt, after its conquest
would imitate the habits of the Egyptians in
this and other respects ; or we have, perhaps,
a more direct solution of the difficulty, (if
so it can be considered,) by supposing, what
would in many instances take place, the inter-
marriage of an Egyptian with the daughter of a

Greek.
Mr. Millar, portrait painter in Glasgow, is at
present finishing a likeness in oil of the face and
surrounding parts, as they appeared immediate-
ly after they were exposed a and was completely
successful in the accuracy of the likeness before
the exposure to the air had converted the face
from a brown to a sable hue, which it did in the
short period of three hours.

It is evident, from this remark, that the 'Writer is a Con-
vert to the visionary and absurd system of SPURZHEIM.

)30N MOT.—At the Paddington Meeting to
address the QUEEN, a Lady was congratulating a
Gentleman upon the fineness of the day ; the
Gentleman (a Lawyer) replied, " Yes Madam,
very fortunate ; for if it had pleased Heaven to
send down a shower of gin in the next field, not
a soul would be left here to address the poor
Queen."
- -

A CASE OF TOENIA SOLIUM.—John Young,
residing at Kirk' Yetholm, Roxburghshire, late
of the 4th battalion of Royal Artillery, aged 36,
took ill in Spain, June 12, 1812, and he was
dismissed the service by the Medical Board in
1814, for epilepsy ! since which period he has
continued in a very emaciated and imperfect
state of health. On Sunday morning the
27th ult. in consequence, of some medicine taken
for the purpose, under the direction of Mr. Cook,
surgeon, he passed a tapeworm entire, 50 feet
two inches in length, which was washed and
measured in the presence of a number of people.
It is preserved.
The infant which was lately born, at Bolton-
le-Moors, with two heads and necks, and three
vertebrae, or back bones ; in every other respect
it was well shaped. On opening the body it was
found to contltin two stomachs, and two gall Mad-
ders, but only one heart. The surgeon who perform-
ed this operation offered the varents two hundred
pounds for this extraordinary production of na-
ture, which they refused.

LONDON JOURNALS.

[DAILY EXI'RACTS.]

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.

[Morning Post.]
A ,TRIAL at IIALIFAx, which has just been
published, will, we think, furnish a subject of
lierions stedection to the admirers of " nnsunned
snow." In the case of " 114 v. Barrow," a
verdict has been given for 4001. damages.. .The
sages who, as- the case before the Howse of Lords
now stands, are prepared to acquit the Queen,
will find on perusing the trial to which we allude,
that the Lady was not seen sitting on her para-
mour's lap with her arms round his neck,---that
she was not seen toying with him with her bosom
naked,—that the Gentleman was not seen in her
bed-room, or coming oat of it with nothing on
buf his 'shirt, or she out of his in her shift with a
pillow under her arm,—that it was not proved
that a communication had been made between
their bed-chambers,—that she had not been
found • with him inspecting naked figures, and
laughing at the eccentricities of au Eastern dis-
play oi6obscenitv,—that she was not seen exhi-
biting herself in breeches to the admiration of
her lover,—that she was not attended by him
when she went to change her dress, and further,
it was not proved that they were in the habit of
bathing together, and sleeping under the same
tent: Nothing of this .came out on the trial;
but it was proved that the Gentleman, who
moved in the same sphere as herself, had some-
times visited her in the absence of her htisband,
and retired before he came home,—it was proved
that, on several occasions she was seen to walk
iii the direction' in which her supposed lover was
to be found ; foot-marks were observed in the
utvunned snow," leading towards the window
Of her' bed-chamber, and she was seen to receive
a gold chain from .the defendant. These were
the facts made out in evidence, and on these
twelve good men gave the verdict we have al-
ready mentioned, and sealed the Lady's disgrace
for ever. ' Let those Who wish •to be impartial,'
who'desire to see justice done, .look at the two
cases, and say if one woman in the humbler
• walks of life, ought to be degraded for such acts
as these, while another, because she is-a Queen,
may commit offences a thousand times as in-
famous with impunity, and not only with impu- .
nay, but be even held Up to the world as an ob-
ject of admiration. Is this a doctrine that ought
to- prevail in a country where it is the universal
boast .that equal justice is administered to the
humblest as to the most exalted members of the
community, to the Peasant as. to the Prince ?
We do not say that the Queen is infamous, but
•we say that she is charged With acts,, which, if
established, would render her infamous, and thoSe
who would acquit her of all blame, whilst the
evidence given to 'these remains anrefUted, Con-
-tend for the abominable principle, that , that
should be passed over in a Queen, a thousandth
part of which is . deemed sufficient to consign a
subject to shame, and poverty.

'The desperate frenzy of abuse with which the
friends of her' Majesty strive to cover the wit-
nesses against her with every species of obloquy,
is well known. ,Among other things, they have
l;a
wled repeatedly about the -enormous sum paid
to the, master of the polacca ; deClared that it
was Ir.. ore than the pay of an English Admiral ;
'and all but swore, that it was the price at which
tli(> perjury of the witness was to.be remunerated.
Now we beD- leave to laybefore our readers the
following Extract of a Letter front a most
re-
spectable Merchant in the city, which, while it
exposes the malignant activity of the faction
whose melancholy instrument the Queen has be-
come, will at the same time .she* the arts to which
they resort :
" Alderman Wood has been with Scott, Garnett, and Pal-
mer, the great cornfactors in Aldermanbuty, to inquire the
character and property of the Captain of the polscca,whogave
evidence against the Queen : be received for.answer—' The
( aptain has often brought grain here, his character is good,
bit mode of dealing shews him to be a man of property, and
Ise, have a great respect fur him.' ' But,' said the Alderman,
dues he_ not speak .English ?' Answer. ' We- don't know.
We bate always'ednversed'with hint by an interpreter.'
" The Alderman then went to Smith, Martin, and Co. the
greatest ship brokers in London. lie inquired into the cha-
racter, property, &c. and received the same kind of answer as
from Scott and Co. ; he then asked, as they were good judges,
if the sum agreed to he given for the vessel per month, was
nut a most extravagant it:wok:tie—, No,' said they,' we do not
consider it to ha so ; nor is it, in our opinion, .nr shilling too
touch; it appeals a very fair agreement.' Lord Clifford came
into the City to make a situilar inquiry about the ship, and
the payment, and received exactly the same 'reply front an-
other quarter."—(fbid.) •

[Morning Chl'ohide.l
The patience of-the People of this Country is
very great,. but Ministers would seem to, think
• that it has no limits. They may,. however, find
out one of ,these days, that the nation, is not to
be' always insulted with impunity ; for we know
•not what is meant by insult, if,. at a time when
• every branch of industry-is suffering a severe de.--
pression, and, all claSses are labouring under un-
exampled privations,—instead of inquiring into
the causes of these..evils, with a view to remedy
cp.' mitigate them, the nation is harassed with a
d:sgraceful inquiry into the conduct-of an old
woman, long ago abandoned her husband, in
places where her example could have no influence
on the people of England, for the sake of whose
morals it is said to heinstituted, While the 'inquiry
itself, which threatens to be iuterzhinable, is cat-
ciliated to undermine female purity and delicacy,
to produce the worst effects wherever the dis-
gusting evidence is disSeMinated. Ministers have
certainly fallen upon* most happy device to en-
dear Monarchy to a suffering people. But leaving
• them and their inquiry for tlTe present, we turn to
the subject of the distresses of the countq• We
are sorry to perceive, from the evidence taken
before the Committees of both Houses on our
foreign trade,' how wedded many of our commer-
cial men still are to' the prohibitbry system of
E this country, :toAV'aieli its neyer was indebted for.
any part of its prosperity, and:to which so'Much
of our distresS is at' present attribtitabte. .As
.the 'prohibitory. system has been carried 'to a
greater extent in England than in any' Other

conntry,it WaS not anTattr:al that torelgn GovernY
merits should consider it as the great tanse of out

prosperity,, and should have disregasded the de..
monstration of Smith, that England had advanced
not in consequence of her restraints, but in spite

of them.

[New Times.]
Symptoms of modesty :—" We have the ear of
the Nation in our possession, ,to an extent that
really now almost makes us tremble at the re-
sponsibility." Such was the declaration made in
confidence by the Editor of a certain Journal yes-
terday, to his intimate friend the Public. We do
not recollect any such thing being ever said by Pitt
or Fox. Probably they had not the ear of the
public-(an elegant figure of speech) in their pos-
session, to such an extent ; or if they had they
were not so completely . .

dr;sed in an opinion
Of Wisdom, Gravit y. profound Conceit,
As who rhould say I am Sir Oracle,
And when 1 ope my lips let no dog bark.
However, as our unhappy cotetnporary is so
tremblingly alive to the responsibility which at-
tends his exalted rank, we would willingly lessen
Iris fears by a little friendly advice. Before the
last meeting of the House of Commons, he grave-
ly assured his readers, that Mr. Wilberforce would
make a motion on . that day to put an end to the
proceedings against the Queen, knowing perfectly
well that Mr. ‘Vilberforce never had the slightest
intention of doing any such thing., but flattering
himself that that Hon. Gentleman would be proud

to act under the direction of the Great Ear=wig-
ger of the Nation. In like manner he asserts,

ith the same inflexible gravity, that some of the

Lords mean on the re-assembling bf that House to
make a similar proposition. Now he does not be-
lieve one syllable of this himself; but it serves as
well as any other impudent piece of nonsense to
buz into " the ear of the nation ;" and after all,
who knows that some Noble Lord may not swal-
low the bait, and think that such a motion must
be popular, because it is suggested in the Lead-
ing Journal ? Thus, no doubt, he reasons with
himself ; but in our opinion he is premature.
There is nobody in the House of Lords weak
enough to be so imposed upon. To be sure, in :a
future stage of the business the scheme may .an-
swer. The profound Sir Gerard Noel, or the
lively Mr. Joseph Hume, may very probably
listen to suggestions derived from so respectable
a quarter ; but for the present it would be better
to stick to' plain matter of fact, and not incur the
repeated disgrace of exposure by falsehoods
which deceive nobody.

[The l'imes.]

The AFFAIR of the QUEEN now rests in that
tranquillity which the most perfect assurance of
her innocence and a general confidence in a just
judgment inspire. Her accusers, we learn, are
not quite so happy. The immediate getters up
and transmitters of the plot say that the evidence
might have been " pitched stronger." Those
who have had the management of it here, say
they expected better witnesses and surer facts.—
The truth is, that both parties are suffering from
the effects of their own perfidy. " Liars" are
said " to repeat their falsehoods till they them-
selves believe them." This adage is in some
degree confirmed in the present instance ; for we
are disposed, even upon a principle of charity,
to allow that those who encouraged and reward-
ed slander against the Queen have been really
imposed upon by their own arts, and, trusting to
the rumours which themselves had excited, are
now astonished to find the fabric so baseless.—
" Better witnesses" indeed! The present are not
bright ones ; and we think that those who have
got them together may soliloquize themselves in
something like the manner as Falstaff reflected
on his conduct when he had expended the King's
money upon useless recruits. " If I be not
" ashamed of my soldiers (witnesses), I am a
" soused gurnet. I have misused the King's press
" damnably." The appearance of the witnesses,
too, as we all recollect, at Dover, was not much
unlike that ofFalsiqrs ragged r( gintent:—"S laves
" us ragged as Lazarus in the painted cloth, where
" the glutton's dogs licked his sores; discarded an-
" just serving men, revolted tapsters and hostlers
" trade-fallen, 1 0 times more dishonourably ragged
" than an old-faced ancient ; you would think I had
6( an hundred and fifty tattered prodigals lately
cc

come from swine-keeping and eating draft and
husks. A mad fellow met-me on the way, and told
me I had unloaded all the gibbets, and pressed
the dead bodies,: no eye bath seen such scare-
""crows." Now,' when the project was set on
foot to swear a child to her Majesty, some,four-
teen years Ago, it will be remembered that there
were people in an elevated station of life got to
give evidence against her, and to aver upon
oath, certain facts wholly unfounded ; but on
the present occasion, 'ffe beg the nation to
behold what a set of creatures her 'Majesty's
accusers have been obliged to bring fgiward ;
they were improved, indeed, by keeping; and that
not only in exterior, but some of them'also, who
had been long kept, in accomplishment and attain-
ments. Signor Sacchi, the discarded serving-man,
had been completing his studies with a Clergyman
in Hertfordshire, having a servant to attend upon
him : perhapS he, is intended for the Church ! But
indignation overpowers the spirit of 'ridicule on
such a subject: Who can think without abhor-
rence that it is by arts like these that the honour
of the Queen of this. Country is sought to ;bp
lowered? TO the candour olthe House of Lords
'the Country` is no doubt obliged; but we do not
believe that 'Ministers would have so freely al-
loWed the ptiblication of the' evidenced if
they
had known, or conceived, that it would have been
sO,wholly neutralized by its own absurdity, and
the 'character of the witnesses.

- [British Pi:ess.]
• The struggle between the rebel Paella of Tan-
tibia and the, Porte still continues, and from the
mystery and reserve of the Government of 1 ur-
k9r.upon this head, a. suspicion arises that Ali
has not been unsuccessful in his defence. The
circumstance is undoubtedly one of considerable
interest, for•the event,may materially affect the
future destinies of, that' fin? country, to Which,

notwithstanding its present debasement, moral
and political, 'every mind impressed :vith recol-
lections of its, ancient glories, must still turn- with
a feeling of affection inferior only to that which
belongs to one's native country. Much as we•
abhor the character of Ali,, stained as it is with
every vice and cruelty, we must yet bend our-
selves to the apparent inconsistency of wishing
him success in the pi esent struggle, in the
hope that Greece might eventually obtain an
independent Govermneni, more alive to its
terest, and sympathizing more intimately with
the wants and wishes of the people, than could
be expected from the occasional tyrants autho-
rised by the Porte to plunder and oppress the
wretched country. This independent Govern-
ment may,' and probably would, commence in
barbarism, and proceed for some time with the
obstinacy peculiar to despotism in a happy igno-
rance of its own interests, but the neighbourhood
of a hostile or jealous Power would gradually
prove the necessity of drawing the affections of
the people around the throne of their Sovereign,
and teach the Monarch himself the wisdom of
identifying his own interests with those of the
public. The accounts that occasionally arrive
through various channels respecting the progress
of the wat are very- contradictory. The latest
are from Trieste, dated the 6th of this
month, and from. these we learn that Ali
hag" succeeded 'in gaining over to his cause a
part of the troops which were sent against him,
and that there has been a mutiny amongst those
of the Pacha of Scutari. If Ali profit wisely of
these circumstances, he may protract the struggle.,
and gain much by delay. In general, he appears
to depend more upon intrigue than strength ; his
extensive secret correspondence in the Ottoman
army nr,y be very useful to him. It is affirmed

that he has numerous agents in all the Turkish
provinces; who serve him zealously, and he pays
them well. Several of these have lately beeh

discovered and strangled, but. their number is so
considerable that it would be difficult to exter-
minate them all. It is certain that large pur-
chases of arms have been made on Ali's account,
and the money was paid down. They were prin-
cipally supplied, it is said, by English traders.
