Plagrraskstam.--Captiin Fairman, who has back-d himself
to gp from London to linzbton in twelve sumeabive hours, tak-
ing ale old road, which will extend the distance to upwards of
55 miles, went some years ago on the Ipswich Race Course, for
a wager of 100 guineas with the Colon -1 of his regiment, Sir
Alexander Lockhart, of spotting celebrity, 60 milei in fourteen
succeeding hours. This achievement, to which, at the time, he
was deemed so unequal, that the earrem bats et starting were
ISO to 1 against him, be accoroplii.he.l, with appareot due, under
no small disadvantages, hi 13 hours and a half. Wton, however,
it is considers I, that he had then a chosen mile on turf, that he
now takes the high road, rough and smooth as It runs ; and that
by severe service and similar explolt6 in the enervating climate
of thesWest lndiei, kis constitution has been sub.equently im-
paired, his present undertaking will be allowed to be infinitely
more arduous. o win the match in contemplation be must not
alone go at the rate of, hut actually perform more then five miles
an'hour for the whole time, which will afford him only a single
hour for refreshment and a:amazes. Reigate and Clayton Hills
are well adapted, from the r length and steepness, to try the bot-
tom of even a Barclay and a Powell. These, with the impediments
Incidental to a common turnpike road, it lie do not break down
in !standing the latter, will add materially to the diflicelty of
the enterprise.

The beautiful and romantic castle of Wilton, with
its attendant village, on the hanks of the Wye, nest
the interesting town of Ross, is the place whence the
Earl Wit.ToN (now the second son of Earl Gitos-,
valloa) takes his title.
It has been more than hinted that the Empress of
RUSSIA will visit both England and France before she
returns to St. Yetersburgh ; and it is also added, that
strong invitations to this effect have been already
nude by the two Courts. We are again to see the
Grand Duchess of OLDENSUIIGII.

Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest sat at the Middle-
sex -Hospital, on the body of Jane Mitchell, a child
aged three years; who was killed by a wheel passing
over its head, oa Tue,day, in Chandas.street, Ca-
vendish-square. It appeared that she wits playing
with other children, and that she ran against the
wheel, was knocked down, and thus run over and
killed. The driver was in the cart, it being, loaded
with goods, wi.h a rein in his hand, from the horse's
he:d, a circumstance that rann-it be too much re-
prehended. Verdict—Accidental death by being run
over by a cart.
An Inquest was also held at the same place on the
bAtly of Elizabeth Hatcher, a child aged six gars,
who met her de th by being severely burnt. She
and other children were its the io nn in which there
was a fire, by themsAves ; and 4 appeared th tt in the
endeavour to take somethinLT from the mande-pleze,
her clothes caught fire. 1-1,,r scream at last brought
the people of the house to her assistam:e, who suc-
ceeded in extinguishing tl:c llant-s ; but the child was
so severely bur:l that she survived the accident only
a few hours. Verdict—Acitier.tally burnt.
Wedir.sday .m Inquest seas held at the Roe Buck,
Chiswick, on die fridy of Thomas Bennett, a brick-
layer's labourer, who met his ikath in consequence of
the ftilingsof a wall in the Duke of Devoashire's
garden, Chiswic;:. - It appeared that Bennett and
aaother labourer had to pail down the wall in ques-1
Lion ; and in pramotion of this object they had un-
dermined it, but otifortunately tao much, as it fell,
and buried both of them in its ruins. Both of them
were extricated as soon as possiiale, after having sus-
tained c ntiderable persan..l injury, and Bennett, a
poor old man, aged upwards of 60 years, languished
it: great alony from the 29th Septeniber till Monday
night, when he died in consequence of the injury
done to tile spine and pelvis. Verdict—Accidental
death.—The oth?r man still remains in a very doubt-
ful va:e. The wall condemned.

At eight o'clock on Wednesday night an Inquest
was held at the Green Dragon, Green Dragon-court,
St. Andrew's-hill, Doctors' Commons, on view of th
body of a young woman, 19 years of age, who was
found drowned between fire and six o'clock on Tues-
day morning, at the foot of the stairs at Blackfriars-
bridge. Alter the Jury were sworn they proceedel
to take a view of the body which was in the bone-
house—they were astonished at her appearance, for
th rugh the body had been out of the water since five
o'clock the preceding morning, it had not the least
resemblance to a corpse, her eyes and mouth were
closed as it asleep, she had a fine natural rosy com-
pletion, her bosom seemed to heave as if she breathed
nod she looked as if she v;as in a perspiration. The
Coroner and Jury expressed their surprise, and de-
clared they never saw or heard of a similar instance.
It appeared in evidence that the deceased lived as
servant to a laundry woman in Artillery-street,
Blackfriars-road, where she had been about three
months, that about eight o'clock on Monday even-
, inn, she cleanel herself and went out to see her mo-
ther, who lived as a servant near Mile-end, and was
not heard of until between five and six o'clock on
Tuesday forming. The body was discovered by
Edward Bland, a glass-founder, residing in New-
street, Cloth-fair. Tie body lay on its face on the
mud, being left by the tide, and on a barge near the
place her shawl was found : she was without cap or
bonnet. No evidence could be procured to give any
account of the manner of her being drowned. Ver-
dict—Accidental Death.
A young Lady was yesterday knocked down by a
porter, carrying a load along Bishopsgate-street, and,
falling off the kirb-stone, at the moment a gig, in which
were two gentlemen, was passing ; the wheel of the
vehicle passed over her cheek, and dreadfully lacerat-
ed the side of' her face. She was immediately carried
to a surgeon, who rendered her every assistance ; but
she is completely disfigured for life. The circumstance
was purely accidental.
Mr.HAR*Vir, of Kentish Town, was stopped by two
footpads, as he crossed the fields from College-street,
Camden Town, on Monday night, who demanded his
money, in a peremptory manner ; but Mr. H. ob-
serving that they were only armed with bludgeons,
and as he himself had a tuck-stick, he instantly stabbed
one of them in the side, and jumping from the path
' into the field, he suddenly ran off. and escaped the
pursuit of both men, who followed him.

O'NEILL appeared in ;he chore-Aar of Bs.r. •a 1; 1 rts. t• a
cto,t brilixnt .and crowded ap.Seace. %Ye hive al.

tea ly delivered it as our opinion, that the tal -nts and
qualities of this young Lady will rain h.r to the
highe.t dist nction in the art ; and if we lia;! .14
seen her in the ells- acter which she performed last
night, we should have said the same thing. A re-
presentation more natu•al an impressive we never
witnessed. Mrs. Stnnons in the most vigorous sea-
son of her powers, never m re deeply interested her
audience ; nor more succe.sfuily imitated stall ex-
pressed. all the varying passians of the soul. Her
simple dress displayed her elegant person to great
advantage, and every attitude and action served fur-
, ther to place it in the most attractive points of view.
The movement of the arm, the polished and health-
lel colour of which was not sicklital o'er by the pale
cast of netting—the graceful turn of the neck—the
appropriate gesture to each expression of the f:atures,
seemed all to b, rather the effect of constitutional pro-
priety of demeanour, thau.the resish ottbeallicalstUd):
" -Wlut she clues
" Still betters what is duvet
And thus the portraits th it she ext.ibits to the eye
arc so exquisitely fascioatiug, that we are enraptured
with her expression when silent:
But when :h • (ray
We'd lave her do a ever.'
Her preens:lei:aims is clear, intelligible and -sweet,
' particularly the lower notes of her voice; and she
speaks with a sense that s itisfies the jiol,;en..nt, while
the pathos with which tl:e Alec it g sentiments .ors
!livered, agitate every bosom, and giie reality to
t' o fiction of the poet. We never witnessed nor telt
• ympathy more universally areans.d, and that even in
passages which before have glided on without Rini-
cular emotion. The truly feminine tenderness with
which she winds herst if abaut the neck of ./qApfe—
with which she hangs pendant from t,is b:i;ts —the
piercing glances of her rye—the melting totes of tier
voice, give altogether an image of hive, and typify
•he influence ot it lesion the heart, that we never saw
exceeded even by t:.e touching accents of Mrs.
CRAUFUND. It is in these moments of fervent'pee-
sion that Miss O'Nerar. is roost electrical. ?la feel-
7ngs can milt the egony with which her own are
tortured. The illaseni is perfect ; she is not an
:ctress in this conflict of the soul—but becomes day
very being she represents, and forces every spectates
•o participate in her suffering. It is the perfcctiob
if the histrionic art— and we call on every imp trtial
person who enjoyed this intellectual feast, to say if
hey ever had their. sensibilities more exquisitely
aroused,' or their nerves more wrung, thin in the
scene where she bids Jaffer " Remember Twelve ;"
it electrified the !reuse. In those scenes also in which
Jafer informs her of the plans of the conspirators,
ind the intended murder of her father, and in which
her husband, distracted and agonized by the con-
demnation of his friend (Pierre), is tempted to stab
her, she Particularly excelled, hut her greatest effort
was reserved for the last scene, in which her frenzied
adjurations to the spirits of her heshand • land his
friend—the distracted shriek—the hysteric laugh—
and. the convulsive sobbing out the name of .fafer
with her last. sighs, presented a piece of acting more
perfect than any we recollect to have scan :—'f in
some of the passages she rose into what may be call-
ed impetuous ran:, let it recollected that the Poet
also has done so, and that she could not go off the
stage with tameness, where the text was in the high-
est degree inflate. Upon the whole, we mast say
that her Belvidera does more than answer the promise
which her Juliet gave, and we congratulate the Public
on having acquired an actress fit to replace the la.
mented SIDDONS. At the moment of her death, the
most astounding applause, accompanied with g n. ral
shouts of bravo, resounded through the !reuse, whilst
all the company in the pit stood up and waved their
hats.—Ot Mr. YOUNG'S Pierre, it is unnecessary to
say much. His merits in the character are well
known. His exertions last night tell nothing short
ot his firmer efforts. His reception was of the most
flattering description.—The Jaffler of CONWIY is
much improved since last season ; still lie does not
speak to the heart : in several of the scenes, however,
he was mach applauded, particularly in that wth
Renault, in which he reproaches him with Isis conduct
towards Belvidera; his taunts and s ire:isms on the
old man were uttered in a tone and meaner deserving
the applause they received. The Tragedy was an-
nounced for this day, in the midst of continaed peals
of approbation.—The Tragedy was followed by the
new Melo-Drama ill The Forest of Bundy ; or. the Dng
of Montargie. BaOTll, as Florio (the dumb toly),
was as interesting as she always is. The dog of
Captain "fuhri, who play, the principal character, and
is*the chief support ot the Piece, barked as expres-
sively as usual—carried the 'anthem as adroitly
and was as loudly. applauded.

A bust of Mrs. SIDDONS in white marble has bees
placed in the Green-room of Drury-lane 'fhe.ttre.
The new Cemtdy whlch is forthcoming at Drorr.
lane Theatre, according to Green-room report, is the
production of Miss CiIAMSERs.
