COMPLETION OF BLAKEsr.Ers

This undertaking, to go on foot to Exeter an‘ll;;ck to 1.r.7.-
don in six days, by a circuitous route, making 380 miles, was
completed at half-past eleven o'clock, on Sunday nirht, by e,-
traordinary perseverance, and it stands amongst the foremas:
record. The pedestrian is a man of five feet six inches, a a..::•
of Halifax, and 32 years of age. He finished half the di3: .
four miles from Exeter, on Thursday evening at nine o'clock, 'a
good condition, and proceeded eight miles in two hmrs on Lis
journey back. He did his day's work, 61 miles, in abort 14
hours of travelling, and rested at short intervals. 1:a had 31
miles only to perform on Sunday, which was the mm:
day's work. He started at two o'clock in the morning, r.:tber
lame, which increased, 'and the match was won, throi,Lh great
difficulties, in the last half hour of the time.

DVELL—An affair likely to occupy the attention of the Co::—.s
of Law occurred at a celebrated house at the West end of
town on Friday night, and led to two meetings yesterday mon-
ing—the one at Chalk Farm between two Military Gentler:cr.;
the other at Maswell hill, between a Civilian and an °fn.:el.
In the first, both parties were slightly wounded at the first tire;
and in the latter an accommodation took place, the Officer (Wb)
was the offending party) firing the contents of his pistol in the
air. The cause of quarrel was the loss of £3OOO, which, at
one throw, changed masters; but the fairness of the game W 3
warmly disputed, and is likely to be tried at Law, or referred t°
the Jockey Club.
A duel was fought at d:.;-break yesterday morning, on Old
Oak Common, between two Gentlemen, of the names of L—Tr
and B--v, in consequence of an altercation and challenge by
the latter Gentleman, at the Opera, on Saturday, night. Tae
parties fired twice each, and in the second fire Mr. L---a Nas
wounded in the pistol arm, which the ball passed through.
stage= in attendance dressed the wound upon the spot, which
was not dangerous.
