SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A Gentleman, well known in the spotting circles east of Teed.
ple-bar, has undertaken, for a considerable wager, to ride from
London to Cheltenham and back again, a distance of 100 miles,
in 48 successive hours, and upon the same horse. The animal is
15 years old, and has never been used to labotious Work. netting
two to one against him.
Tut Lai/ BOXING MATCIIII....The patrons of Yotk are good
again to match their man, and they truly say he slept during the
fight. That fact is certain, and we repeat that he is not un-
manned by defeat in combat. The energies of the body were
deLlyed by stultification on the head.
PEDESTRIANISM.

NIWCAXTLIL, Sarr.l9.—Yesterday at three o'clock r. W. Rune/
M' Mullen had accomplished 604 miles on his match of 1060
miles and 1000 poles in 1000 successive hours. He was id mi-
nutes in walking the last mile. He seems still evabdem of sue-
eds., but he is very cross with his time keeper+, and is very
difficult to rouse from his sleep. Up to 4 o'clock r. sr. yesterday,
our other pedestrian, Townsend, had completed 8961 miles of
his match of 1000 miles in 18 days, viz. 431 forward and 465 b
backward. It is expected he will accomplish his undertaking at
12 o'clock on Wednesday noon. He uses a suck, which he says
prevents his hands swelling.

r.. We do not ever recolle witnessing a greater display of beauty
and fashion on our Course an that of this day. It seemed as
if every Nobleman and Fa ly, as well as Gentry and persons
of every description Won • g to the country, were present, ac-
companied with the most splendid equipages. The weather was
must propitious, and the'sport very fair.

Sernrottoo.—An ingenious swindling transaction took place at
Brighton on Saturday evening. A man who keeps a shop in
Ironmonger-lane, purchased a shoulder of mutton.at Mr. Pal-
mer's, butcher, and having paid for it, ordered it to be sent to
kis house. The boy was dispatched with the mutton, and at the
door of the house was accosted by a man whom he supposed to
be the master, with—,. Well, butcher, you have brought the
mutton ; carry it in doors, and tken run directly for two pound
of beef-steaks, and bring back change for a one-pound note.
The boy listened home, delivered the order, and soon returned
with the meat and change. The man was still waiting at the door,
and again said to the boy—" You have been g use a long time,
and now have not brought the suet " The boy replied—" Yon
did not order suet." But I insist 1 did order half a pound s
have you brought the change?" The boy replied—" Yes." The
'man then pulled out an old pocket-book, and pretended to put
in a one-pound note, and giving it to the boy, told him to be
careful of it, and bring him back the book with the suet. He
took the change and beef-steaks, and sent the boy back. On hie
master ezamining the pocket-book, nothing but a piece of blank
pprredrwas found resembling a note. The master inintediatelpsw
to the house, but to no purpose; all traces 'were lost et
man, meat, and money.
De.SPIRATZ AFFRAY AT CHIPPIINHAM, AND A MAN
Ett.Lan.—Saturday, between ten and eleven o'clock
at night, a party of young men, about thirty in num.
ber, from Langley Burrel, and Kingston Langleyi
entered Chippenham, armed with bludgeons and
other weapons, when they assaulted and most dread-
fully beat all persons they met, without any distinc-
tion. We are sorry to state, that Mr. HALL, a re.
spectable saddler, who was called out of bed by the
cry of " Murder," was taken up and carried home
dead. Mr. RiYaoLna, a brasier, lies without any
hopes of recovery. Mr. Mom', a constable, lies also
in a most deplot able state, and upwards of twenty
other persons are suffering under severe contusions.
Nearly twenty of the assailants, including two'ring.
leaders, who are most respectable farmers, are now
in custody. This shameful and desperate outrage
is said to have originated at the last Kingston Langley
Revel, where some offence was taken at the conduct
of some young men sat Chippenham. Bath Paper,
