PEDESTRIANISM.

Sutton, the Kentish Pedestrian, walked last week on the !ewer
Bristol road, though exposed to the inclemency of the weather, the
dl: ordered state of the road, the annoyance of travellers, Ste. 300
mi es in six successive days, without making one turn in the pet-.
fotmance of this great undertaking, but repacing backwards his
first mile, and so in succession, taking every second mile backwards,
which he completed ten minutes before five o'clock on Saturday
evening last, one hour and ten minutes within the given time. The
powers of this pedestrian on the backward step are truly astonish-
ing, and he has engaged to perform an equally difficult task at Bath,
next week ; besides which, he this day, during his training at Math,
undertakes the following : to walk six miles and a half, to walk
backwards four miles and a half, and to pick up 100 stones, placed
a yard asunder, and bring them singly to a basket at the end of his
walk (live miles and a half and 440 yards), in all nearly seventeen
is two hours and forty:five minutes.

This day the prisoners, who stand committed on
charges of felony, were removed from the several jails
in the City of London and County of Middlesex, to
Newgate, preparatory to their standing their trials at
the next Old Bailey Sessions, which► will commence on
Thursday next, the 2d of December.
The property of the unfortunate Mrs.Culliford, other.
wise Donatty, whose dreadful murder excited such
horror about three years since, has been divided, by
direction of the Lords of the Treasury, between two
females who declared themselves near of kin to her, and
the relatives of the late Mr. Donatty, with whom she
cohabited, and from whom she derived it at his death.
