TYNEMOUTiI.
The Easter festivities, gambols, and horse races, have been
well attended at Tynemouth this year. A match for a consider-
able sum was so warmly contested, on Cullercoats Sands, as tn
be determined by the protuberance of only an eye-brow !
LEITH.
Saturday, a match for 25 guineas t.-ride was tun for, over Leith
Sands, between a thrsnut horse, Sandy o'er the Lea, and a bay
horse, Young Harmless, both the property of Gentlemen of this
city. The chesnot was rode by the owner, and Harmless by
Mr. Thomas King, horse.dealer, Betting 6t04 on the chesnut
at starting. Harmless took the lead for 200 yards when the
chesnut passed him, and was winning, till the stirrup leather gave
way within 300 yards of home, by which the rider lost his seat.
It was a well contested race, both horses making play from the
starting. Considerable bets were depending.
PEDESTRIANISM.
Mr. Water, the celebrated pedestrian, and considered the best
of his day at a lung journey, undertdok on Thursday to go on
foot Irons Holborn to within two miles of Dover, making 72
miles, in 13 hours. This is much more than has ever been at-
tempted, and the match was 100 guineas to 30 on time. The
pedestrian did rather over 23 miles in the first three hours, and
appeared fresh and well, h..ving got five miles more-than the
rate of travelling off, he pursued a steady course of something
leas than six miles an hour, and had accomplished 37 miles in
six hours. lie had no time for halting, and it was evident he.
could not win. He did 54 miles in nine hours and fifty minutes,
and resigned the task, having won a bet that he did 50 miles in
nine hoists, which he did with eight minutes to spare.

acknowledged that it has run it well. The original

deterioration in the drama, and Rcb Roy became one

this was owing to the adapter, much was owing to

PLAN FORA GROGRAiIiIICALGARDEN.

A level and verdant plain of a very few acres might
easily be converted into a map of the world, of great
and singular interest. Invention is too often stretched
to lay out ground with taste in tho gardens of opu-
knee, for such a. project to be considered either ab-
surd or unuseful. Its execution would be pleasant,
instructive, and healthful, especially in the actual
operative arrangements, and give learners an expert-
ness in geography, much beyond what they acquire
from books and maps. Let a spot of level ground,
360 yards in length from east to west, and 180 yards
in breadth from north to south, be inclosed by .a wall
of a very small height; let thirty-sir marks be made
on the east and west wall's, and eighteen be made on
the north and south walls, to fix the degrees of lon-
gitude and latitude at ten degrees, or 600 miles,
asunder ; let four pieces of oak timber be made,
thirty_ feet long, and eight inches square, with holes
at the distance of three inches, or five miles, from
one another ; Thu" thirty-six inches, or three feet, on
this piece (which may be called a scale), are a degree,
and the whole scale will cothprise 10 degrees, or 600
miles in length. These scales being placed upon the
ground, at any of the large divisions of ten degrees
made on the walls and opposite to each other, afford
au opportunity, by cross log-lines of packthread, ofl
determiuing the particular town, ciu, Etc. to be
marked on this map, in the same manner as we ope.
rate with a Gunter's scale and.a pair of compasses on
paper. The continents and islands may be made in
turf, the sea in gravel; the boundary ma y be a hard
terrace of mortar, pieces of slate fixed in mortar, or
a border of box may be planted. At particular
places on this ocean of gravel, posts may be set up,
indicating particular circumstances of trade-winds,
currents, &c. prevailing in particular parts. The
contemplative owner, looking on the surface of this
map, will feel the powers of his mind expand, and
have a clear idea of the subject.—Gleaner.

The Royal Dublin Society have come to the reso..
lution of commemorating the KING'S visit to that
learned body, by erecting a full-sized Statue, in
marble, of his MAJESTY, represented in his robes of
the Order of St. Patrick, as he appeared at the In-
stallation of that Order, to he placed within the pre-
cincts of the Royal Dublin Society.
Tuesday se'nnight, being the quarter-day of the
out-pensioners cf Chelsea Hospital, resident in the
district of Edinburgh, many of those men chose to
make it the occasion of festive indulgence. Some
scandalous scenes of riot and intoxication were the
consequence. One of these pensioners, determined on
enjoying himself for a day at least, engaged the com-
pany of .a female, whom he met with in the street.—
He then hired a coach to Leith—and after driving
about for some time, sat down to dinner, when both
got so completely intoxicated, that they were literally
carried into the coach, which was kept waiting for
them. The next part of the entertainment was to
break all the coach glasses. In the meantime, the ne-
glected wife endeavoured to find consolation in a si-
milar way. She was found, at the close of the day,
in a state of insensibility, from drink, in a close in the
Grassmarket, with her child, only a few months old,
lying beside her!
Extract of a letter from Wednesbury, dated April
17.—" Our neighbourhood is at this moment quite in
a tumultuous state. On Monday morning the col-
liers began, about Wolverhampton and Bilston, to stop
the pits which were working, and yesterday morning,
Tuesday, a large body of them came round and
stopped Lord Duoury's and Pawn's pits, in conse-
quence of which, Mr. DOWNING has just brought up
the Dudley and Hinckley Yeomanry, in order to pro-
tect those who are gone down this morning to do a
little work. PRICE s pits are at play again to-day,
and I understand they (the mob) are stopping all the
pits round Bilston, Wednesbury, Westbromwich,
Dudley, &c. so that I am of opinion that the busi-
ness will now be soon decided, and the men at work
again. As they are not only stopping the thick coal
pits which have been working, but also the thin coal
pits, our brooch men were obliged to come up yes-
terday morning and take to their heels, and those
who are in the least obstinate, are immediately beaten
by the mob, or thrown into some reservoir."
At Ruthin Assizes, a man of the name of Conner,
an Irishman, was convicted cf robbery near Wrexham,
attended with so many circumstances of aggravation,
as to exclude him from any hope of mercy, and he
was accordingly left for execution on Monday last.
When the laws of his country had thus consigned this
unhappy culprit to his fate, and expiated, on this
side the grave at least, the crime which he had Com-
mitted, it was a singular proof of inhumanity, to find
one of his prosecutors solicit the duty of being his exe-
cutioner, on cheaper terms than it could be performed
by any ther ketch ; for this was literally the propo-
sal made to the Sheriff. It was, however, rejected.
A few days ago, F. 0. TAYLon, the son of Mr.
TAYLOR, of Thuxton, terminated his mortal career,
at the age of 14, under the following circumstances :
He left his father's house in the morning, with a fowl-,
ing-piece, and in attempting to force a way through
a hedge, lodged the whole charge in his body. In this.'
wounded and dying state he remaiued five hours, at'
the expiration of which he was found by a husband-
man, and conveyed to his parents. At midnight he
expired. The very morning on which Mr. TAYLOR'S
house became the house of death it was to have been
the scelie of nuptial festivity
WHOOPING COUGH.—Dr. ARCHER, as able and ex-
perienced American Physician, in addressing Dr.
MITCHELL relative to the cure of the whooping cough
by vaccination, says—" I. have vaccined six or eight
patients that had the whooping cough, and in every
case it has succeeded in curing this most distressing
disease. The whooping cough does not come to its
height in less than six weeks from its commencement,
and then, when a favourable termination is expected,
the :declension of the disease is gradual,,and it does
not terminate in lesi than six weeks more. To arrest
this afflicting disorder in its progress, I would recom-
mend vaccination in the second or third week of the
'vhooping cough, i. e. when tl,ie symptoms of the
-ing cough are fully ascertained, then to vacci-
Should the convulsive cough be violent, I
inkmediately vaccinate, being well assured
~ie aistressing symptoms of the who Oping cough
checked by vaccine disease. The :erinination of
vaccine disease will be the termination of the
ing cough."

LAW INTELLIG• EWE.
COURT OF BUICK 'AVAIL 1"
18RISTIS AND °TRIM V. ITANDLAE.
The plaintiffs, who are ship-brokerso brought, _
action to recover from the agendum. 087, the
amount of their commission of OM per cent. on the
price of two East Indiamen which they had sold for
the defendant.
The defendant contended that he was not liable toi
this demand, inasmuch as it was Det he, but the pur•
chasers of the vessels, who bad employed the Plain-
tiffs to negotiate the sale. - •
The usual per tentage on sales of this description
was admitted to be one per cent. and it was stated
by several ship-brokers, who were called, to be al•
ways paid by the seller, even though the negotiation
should have originated with the purchaser, the broker
being considered as the mutual agent of both. From
the deed of sale it appeared, that ten thousand pounds
had been given for the interest of the defendant's con-
tract with the East India Company, and £80,792 for
the shipsewhich were then in an unfinished state.
The LORD CHIRIP JUSITICS directed the Jury, if
they believed -the evidence, to give the plaintiffs the
per center on the price- of the ships, which, in his
opinion, could not. include. the £lo,ooo,•which was
merely given for the contract.
The Jury accordingly found a verdict for
-the plain-
tiffs—Damages £307.185.. .
DOWSON AND ANOTHER V...LONOSTER AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought by Messrs. Dowsnns
shipwrights at Limehouse, against Messrs. Longster
and Leeke, as joint owners- of the ship Ranger, to
recover £847, for repairs done to that vessel.
The defendant Longster suffered judgment to go
by default ; but Leeke resisted the demand, on the
ground that at the time the repairs were done, he had
disposed of his share of the ownership of the vessel
to Longster ; and although he had suffered his name
to remain on the register, by way of a collateral se•
entity for the payment of certain bills which he had
received for the amount of the purchase-money, yet
having parted with the beneficial interest in the ship,-
and the credit having been given to Longster, he was•
not liable to this charge.
It appearing, however, that the defendant had not
wholly parted with his interest in the vessel at the
time the repairs were done, but had merely executed
an agreement to transfer his share to the other de-
fendant, when the last of the bills should be duly
paid, which was not until the following year, the Jury
found a verdict for the plaintiffs--Damages £847.

GRANT V. SAUNDERS.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
£4OO, upon an alleged warranty of a large quantity
of herrings that were exported to the plaintiff's estate'
at Jamaica, in the year 1817, and sold by defendant
to Alderman Atkins and son, the plaintiff's agents.
It was raid that the herrings, on their arrival ih the
West Indies, were unsound and unfit forthe purposes
intended ; although other herrings of the same cure,
bought of the same defendant by other persons, and
also sent to the West Indies, turned out to the satis-
faction of their purchasers.
Mr. Lane, Alderman Atkins's clerk, was called to
prove that the defendant warranted the herrings to
be as good as any which were in that year sent out
to Jamaica ; but on his cross-examination by Mr.
SCA aLErr, he admitted that Mr. Saunders positively
refused, at the time of contract, to warrant them in
writing, but that he did so verbally. It also appeared
that Mr. Grant had long since been paid in account
for the herrings, and that in fact this action was the
worthy Alderman's, although he came into Court
under Mr. Grant's colours.

The evidence for the defence was in complete con-
tradiction to the statement of Mr. Lane ; proof being
given that a warranty was expressly refused, and that
the herrings appeared of the finest quality.
The Learned JuDGE, in his charge to the Jury, left
it for them to say which they believed—the plaintiff's
witnesses or the defendant's—and to give their ver-
dict accordingly.
The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant.
OLD I.IAILEYSESSIONS,•APRIL is.

William Tilley was indicted for stealing a mare,
the property of J. Mullins, of Teddington.
On the morning of the 6th irritant, the mare was
missed out of the proseutor's stable, and they tracked
her into a lane leading to Kingston. Prosecutor and
a patrol pursued, and took the prisoner from off the
mare. The animal was previously stolen from a
Mr. Bowles, and sold by a person named Hall to
Mr. Mullins. Mr. Bowles has recovered her again.—
Guilty—Death.
Henry Leonard was indicted for stealing 33 silver
spoons, and 33 sovereigns, the property of-W. Slade.
The prosecutor lives in the parish of St. Odes in
the Fields. The property was taken from a strong
closet in his house, on the 24th of February. The
prisoner was a labourer of his, and used to brush his
coat. About twelve o'clock the same day, the prisoner
was at the Green- Man, on Furchley4ommon, drunk,
and asked a labouring man to get him change for a
sovereign. The man could not get change, and when
he brought back the sovereign, he observed the ends
of two spoons sticking out of the prisoner's bosom, on
which he sent for an officer, who found Mr. Slade's
property on him.—Guilty—Death.
The prosecutor recommended him to mercy, as
there were £45 in notes lying in the closet, which he
never touched.

George Adams was indicted for stealing a watch,
the property of J. Spencer, in his dwelling-house.
The prosecutor keeps the George and Vulture, at
Horton. On the night of the 26th ult. the prisoner
asked for a bed, and paid for it. At eleven o'clock
he returned and went up to his room. In a few mi-
nutes he came down, saying, he would return in half,
an hour, and went out, but never came back. In con-
sequence of a report in the Newspapers, the prosecu-
tor went to Guildhall, and saw his watch in the hands
of an officer, who had the prisoner in custody for
stealing three sheets from another house. The watch
was stolen from the room in which the prisoner was to
have slept.—Guilty of stealing to the amount of 395.
James Legman, aged ten years, was indicted for
stealing 2s. Bd. the property of Thomas Yarrow.
The prisoner's father was in the service of a re-
spectable currier in Moore's Yard, St. Martin's-lane,
and some time ago considerable quantities of leather
were missed from the premises. The boy was detected
in stealing some, and to save himself from punish-
ment, he accused a patrol of St. Martin's parish of '
having incited him to commit tLe robbery, and the
