A General Court Martial is now sitting at Canter-
bury,•for the trial of an officer of the Kildare Militia. 11

A Court-martial was held cm Monday last at Ports-
mouth, to enquire into the circumstances attending
an accident on board the Bulwark, by a merchant ship
running foul of her on her passage from the Downs
to Spithead, between the 23d and 25th of November ;
and to try Lieutenant Spencer Smyth, who was the
eaker of the watch, for his conduct on that occasion.
The Court agreed, that it appeared that the accident
was caused by the extiemeoegligence and inattention
.of the Master and Mate of the merchant ship, in not
bearing up in sciFicient time, in confer unity to the ge-
neral usage the sea, and iu not hay i shewn lig its

THE NOV SCBLIME.—A Captain Blum, of the Sd

My : 44 In leaving tlie service, I am not aban-
doning the cause of republicanism, but yet hope to
brandish the glittering steel in the field, and carve.nir
way to a name which shall prove my country's ne-
glect ; and when this mortal part shall be closeted in
the dust, and the soul shall (via: (apropos, his name
is Birj) its flight for the regions above, in passing by
the pale-fatted Moon, I shall hang my hat on brilliant
Mars, and make a report to each superlative star, and
arriving at the portals of Heaven's high Chancery,
shall demand of the attending Angel to be ushered into
the presence of Washington. '
PEDESTRIANSM.—A wonderful perforinance was
completed on Tuesday last at Harford, Oxon, by Mr.
Toward, a farmer, who undertook to do 100 miles in
twelve hours, to drive and.walk, for 100 guineas, and
to he allowed but one horse. Mr. T. drove a blood
mare in a light chaise, 62 miles in six hours, when he
took snme re!reshment, and commenced pedestrian,
having 38 Miles to perform ia six hours. He did 20
miles in three hours and 26 minutes, when he made

Iplay, and won the roattk three minutes within the
time. If this -wonderful pedestrian chose to exhaust
his own powers, his folly, perhaps, may carry with it
its own punishment, and Society be no great loser--
but we conceive his cruelty. to a genert.us animal can-
not be so readily excused.
