PEDESTRIANISM.

Ashton entirely abandoned by his friends, immediately arab
hint a handsome present, and shook hands. Tom Caner;
man to Sir M; M. Sykes,,Bart." and brotheolo-law to Haistal.
made hint a similar present; a circumstance highly creditable an
both individuals. The champion has won 15 times, sad received
three forfeits.
William MI Mullen, aged 1g; undertook to walk 100 miles in
24 successive hours, an Tyne Green, near Hexhans, on the 20th
ult. and accomplished his task oath* 215t,52 minutes 20 seconds
within the time. A liberal subscription was made for him.

. WONDERFUL SHOT.
On the lith ult. der** very violent storm of wind and rain,
as a gentleman from Essex, a [need of Captain Decencies'', of
Caldbeck, was pursuing the amusement of partridge-shooting in
the neighbourhood of Allenby, his dogs sprung a covey of de.
brace, when he levelled at his bird, and at the Meant, the wind
giving the covey a sudden twist, he fired and brought down no
less than Mow birds, to the astonishment of himself and the per-
son who accompanied him ; with his second barrel be then killed
another bird : thus, in a few seconds, bagging five brace out of
the six ! What adds to the singularity of thistruly turprisiog slier
is, that every bird fell quite dead.

HARR HUNTING.
Hare hunting appears to have been the favourite recreation
of ecclesiastics, as it is not very long since Bishops were obliged
to keep a pack of harriers for the exercise and amusement of
their clergy. So far back as the twelfth century, we find that
a Bishop of Rochester was so fond of hare bunting that he was
said to have suffered it to interfere with the sacred functions of
his profession, and was a keen sportsman at the age of eighty.
In the 14th century, a Bishop of Worcester appears to have
written to a brother Bishop of St. David's, to remind him of a
promise to seed him six couples of hounds, declaring he lan-
guished for them. " Let them come then, oh Reverend Father,"
said his Lordship, " without delay ; let my woods reecho with
the music of their cry, and the cheerful notes of the horn !"

The Right Hon. ROBERT Pen has retired from
the fatigues of the office to the enjoyment of the
sports of the field, at Lulworth Castle. He is an ad-,
mirable shot, and has daily bagged, on an average,
twenty brace of partridges, besides abundance of
hares. Sir ROBIRT PEEL is at present with his son,
and it is stated that the Duke of YORK will also'
shortly honour the Castle with another visit.

The Haymarket Season is drawing to a close, and
we are pleased to hear, has been crowned with the
utmost success, which is, doubtless, owing to the ex-
cellent Company which the Manager has engaged.
In the night of the 6th ultimo, Mount Vesuvius
emitted most brilliant flames, but unaccompanied
with any noise.

This morning, at five o'clock, a fire broke out at
the house of Mr. Sadler, the Hat and Feathers, CO-
lingwood-street, on the Surrey side of Blackfriars"-
bridge, which entirely consumed the lower part of
the building before it was extinguished. A young
•man; in jumping out of a window, broke his leg.
Sunday morning last, about eleven o'clock, a de-
structive fire broke out in a cottage at Pollicott, in
the parish of Ashendon, which almost instantly com-
municated to the next cottage, and to two large bean
ricks in the adjoining farm-yard of Mr. T. Garrett.
It happened fortunately to be the feast day at Ash-
endon, which had collected a considerable number
of people together, and every possible assistance was
promptly rendered. An engine was also procured
from the Marquis of Chandos, at Wotton ; but owing
to the time which necessarily elapsed before its ar*
rival, and the difficulty in procuring water, the cot-
tages and bean-ricks were entirely consumed before
the raging element could be got under, and it was
not without great exertions that the wheat-ricks and
other property in the farm-yard were saved from its
ravages. It was, however, at length finally .extin-
guished,with no other damage than that stated above,
and the loss to the labourers who inhabited the cot-
tages of their little all. The property on the farm was
insured. The fire was occasioned from the ignition of
some timber in the wall,when heating the oven in one
of the cottages.
By the completion of the Portsmouth and Arundel
Branch Canal, a communication is now open from
Portsmouth to Chichester; and only .5.59 yards, con-
sisting of excavation and embankments, remain to
be completed, in order to effect the long desired ob-
ject of an inland navigation between Portsmouth and
the Metropolis.
DUEL.—Yesterday morning, at day-break, a meet-
ing took place in Peckham Fields, between Mr.
E--x, a Gentleman from Hampshire, and a Gen-
tleman well known in all the sporting circles. The
Country Gentleman, who has not been above a week
in town, lost £3OO at cards, of which the other Gen-
tleman was the principal winner. A Mr: J. a friend,
who met Mr. E. accidentally in the street, sold him'
he had no doubt but he bad been made 'the dupe of
sharpers, and under this impression the challenge
was given, and instantly accepted. The parties fired
two shots each, and in the last Mr. E. wounded his
opponent in the thigh, receiving • the latter's ball
through his hat. Aidedical Gentleman was on the
spot, and dressed the wound, which he pronounced
to be only a flesh wound, and not. dangerous.

OUTRAGES IN LIMERICK.-At an early hour on the
morning of -Monday .ie'nnight, a communication
reached the Police-office of Captain DnotjonT, in that
city, than at six o'clock en the preceding evening, two
men of his infantty corps, named Gunnell and Arm-
strong, returning from Castle Connell to their quar-
ters at Bird-hill, were attacked en the Ciouigg-road,
and that the former was murdered, and the body
-supposed to have been thrown into a bog-hole, as no
trace could be found of it. At three o'clock, however,
a messenger arrived, whn stated that Gunnell had
been found in the corner of a ditch, at a distance
from where the attack.was made upon him ; and that,
though wounded and stabbed in several parts of the
`body, he was likely to recover. Various, civics are
assigned for this outrage, and as inquiry is about
Ito take place. . . • • -

A young woman, from Windsor, was brought tip file begging
in the Gredh Park, on Sunday last. She told a piteous story
respecting the misfortune of listening to a young elan, who had
enticed her front hen friends, and, then abandoned her. The
Magistrate erderecl that her case should be enquired into.
• Queax-sQuaaa.—Thomas Cooke, in the employ of Good-
rick, a fisherman on the Thames, at Hammersthith, was brought
up on a charge of stealing a sheep, the pinperty -of. Mr. Thomas
Owen, a butcher, at Barnes.
The' prosecutor stated, that on Frkliy morning he turned
eleven sheep into a meadow neat the water-side, at Barnes, and
that in the evening only ten returned. Snipe information which
reached him induced him to have the prisoner'apprehended on
the same evening, on suspicioti of stealing the missing sheep ;
and on the following inorningletound the saute sheep bleating,
and apparently much frightened,with a rope round its neck, near
to the meadow from which he.had lost it.
Isaac Cox and Edward Clarke. two boys In the service of Mr.
'Chipman, a farmer at Barnes, deposed, that they were tending
some cows in afield adjoining to that where the prosecutor's
sheep were feeding, on Fridai between five and six o'clock, and
they saw a sheep run along the towing-path by the water side.
Knowing it to be one of Mr. Owes 's sheep, they went to drive
ithack into the field, and they saw the prisoner, who, with John
Goodrich, his employer's eldest son, was towing their boat, drive
the sheep before them, Robert-Goedrick and an apprentice fol-
lowing them, anti the elder Ooodrick sitting in the boat. The
prisoner and John Goodrick. with an oath, told the boys to let
the sheep alone, and they accordingly returned to • the field. As
they were going back, they heaid the prisoner say it was " a very
fat one ;" ami they saw Bobert-Goodrich get aver "the Hake,

. _
and run along the bank to get ahead of the sheep, which he then
drove back towards the prisoner, and one of the party was peep-
ing from behind a bush to.observe which way the boys went.—
Wheri they had driven home their master's cows, Isaac Cos
went and told Mr. Owen of What they had seen.

The prisoner said, they were towing their boat, aad the sheep
was feeding by the sidirr( di towing-path, and not being able to
pus them, itnaturally RePC.OII before them. They called out to
the boys to leave the sheep elope, because they drove it into the
ditch, where, being a large and heavy sheep, it was in danger of
being smothered.

There being, however, in the opinion of the Magistrates, not
sufficient evidence of the asportraion to warrant a commitment,
the prisoner was discharged.

The prosecutor then swore that he went in fear cif some bodily
harm from John Goodrich and the prisoner's brother, who had
threatened him with violence ';" and John Goodrich was therefore
ordered to give security to keep the peace towardb the prosecu-
tor, and a warrant_was issued against the prisoner's brother for a
similar purpose.
HATION•GAZDIM—Yesterday Henry Day, a working silver-
smith, residing at 3, Wilderness-row, Clerkenwell, was brought
up for final examination, .charged with feloniously forging and
counterfeiting 'the Hall Stamp of the Goldsmiths Company on
several articles of silver plate sold by him. .
James George Stevens, a pawnbroker, living at 83, Shore.
ditch, about the beginning of December, 1821, gave prisoner an
order for two pair of butter ladles, which he delivered on the
Bth or 9th of the same month, together with a fish slice. He
delivered his bill for the amount at the time, which was paid
him; he charged lits. id. stamp duty on the two butter ladles,
and Ss. ad. stamp duty on the fish slice. The pair of butter
ladles now produced, and the fish slice, were those bought at the
time from the prisoner.
Mr. George Miles, Inspector of Stamps at Goldsmithg Hall,
deposed that the pair of butter ladles and fish slice then pro-
duced he received from the last witness, and that on examining
them he found that all the marks and stamps on them were
forged and counterfeit.
The prisoner, by the advice of his Solicitor, declined making
any defence, and was fully committed for trial.

• 'rein( HALL, SOUTHWARIL—Mory Connor Wall charged with a
very serious assault upon Catherine Scroggins. The parties re-
side in Robin Hood-court, Tooley-street; and it was stated tit
yesterday morning the prisoner went to demand 9d. which she
alleged Screggina owed her, but which she dented ; and, after
some altercation, Connor wised her by the hair, and knocked
her down with a poker, and continued beating her after she had
fallen, till the room was covered with blood. A Mrs. Gleeson,
who' was present, then cried out " Murder !" and prevented fur-
-ther violence. The poor woman was conveyed to the Hospital,
where she remains is an almost hopeless state ; and the prisoner
was ordered to be brought up again, when the extent of the ta-
int" can be known.
Lasassrs-rrazrr.—Yesterday Jabs Bailey, John Badges, Win.
Btseei, and Thomas York, were brought up in custody of Gibbs,
Ellis, and Hewitt, of the Bow-street patrol. charged with the
perpetration of a most audacious robbery.
Gibbs, who is conductor of a party of patrol stationed at the
east end of the metropolis, stated, that the neighbourhood of

by a formidable gang of robbers, who carried on their avocations
in that district, having robbed several dwelling-houses, &c. lie
and his party. while going their rounds on Saturday night, hap-
pened to fall in with the prisoners at the Angel, at Stratford, all
of whom they recognised as Old Balky acquaintances, and con-
veyed them to the watch-house.
Benjamin Arches stated, that he was a private watchman in
the employ of Mr. Thompson, in Mile-and-road. and that at en
early hour a few mernioge ago, while on duty in his master's
garden, he was suddenly assailed by seine ruffians, who, after
beating him most unmercifully, tabbed bins of his gun, wish
'which they escaped, leaving behind them a stick with adtrk la
-it, which he bow produced.
The witness, os giving this testimony, was desired to take a
minute survey of the prisoners, and see it he could identify any
of them as being concerned In the robbery. He did so, and io-
stantlyPointed out Bailey, who be said be was certain was one
of the perioni engaged in robbing sod beating bins, bat he mild
