close of the Opera of Artaxergu t she was nor, how-
ever, perteiveckby the audience till after tire first act
of The Skeis. Welke,- (the intermediate performance).
tier Royal, Highness was, however, no sooner recog-
hised than, as if by simultaneous impulse, the whole
House rose, and testified their respectful homage by
loud and continued plaudits, which closed by a ge-
neral and uninterrupted call for GOD :aye the King."
As Mil as this applause ceased, which was not for
several minutes, Mr. HAMERTON came forward on
the stage, and informed the house that the principal
vocal performers had quitted the Theatre; but that
the Manager was then in the act of requiring their
return, in compliance with the wish of the house—
this intimation was received with satisfaction, and the
performance was resumed without interruption. At
its close the whole chorus appeared on the gage, and
COD lime the King was struck up, with loud and con-
tinued cheering, which was continued with three times
three atter the conclusi3n. The gentlemen through-
out the house waved their hats, and the ladies their
handkerchiefs. Her Royal Highness seemed v.nsibly
affected, and bowed repeatedly to the audience.
• Her Royal Highness remained in the Theatre until
the of terpiece was nearly over, and retired amid the
ut.animuus cheering of the house.

Littts.) Gentleman made a bet of 400 to 80 that
a man could not be found in a fermi* to go from
Bow Church, Cheapside, to W incisor, to go a mile out
of Windsor, and return, and then proceed back to
Bow Church in eight hours, a distance of 52 miles.
The public were unacquainted who the backers
against ;ime would start for this great performance,
but Rainer was selected. He started at twelve on
• Wednesday night from Bow Church, by St. Paul's
clock, and when it was known Rainer was at work,
betting got from even to any odds on him. He
reached Hyde Park-corner in 22 minutes, and did
seven,and a half miles in the hour. This was about
his pace to Windsor. He was much distressed at
half the distance, but he recovered, and travelled well
back. He arrived at Hyde Park-corner-gate, on his
return, at a quarter past seven, having nearly three
miles to perform in three quarters of an hour. The
night was unpropitious, misty, and foggy, and on the
arrival of the pedestrian at Piccadilly he was over-
come by the haziness of the weather. .He walked
under a degree of embarrassMent until he got through
St. Paul's Church-yard, when he made a start,• and
ran in, and won by four minutes and a half. He ciral-
lenged ail the world at any thing above a mile.
Yesterday one of the workmen employed in the I
preparations for the ensuing spectacle in the Park, fell
from one of the trees to which he was affixing some
machinery, and was so dreadfully hurt as to leavobut
•.ry faint hopes of his recovery.

in Tothill Fields' Fair, Westminster, whilst going at
great velocity, by which three persons were thrown
out to a considerable distance ; one of whom, a young
woman, had her skull fractured in a shocking manner;
the other two escaped with severe bruises.
