SHOOTING.
The grouse shooters have been pretty successful on the Breiddyn
and Berwyn Chain of Hills, in Wales. The birds are uncommonly
fleshy, and there is no apparent scarcity of them. Partridges are
in great abundance, and very strong en the wing. Hares as plenti.
ful as have been remembered for many years.
CRICKET.
The Cricket Match between the Union Hackney and Percy
Clubs was played on Tuesday, in Lord's Ground, and decided in

PEDESTRIANISM.
Friday evening, a pedestrian from the neighbourhood of Drog•
heda undertook, for a wager of live guineas, to tun twenty times
round St. Stephen's-green, Dublin, in two hours and a half, which
task he accomplished with apparent ease in one hour and forty mi-
nutes—no trifling job indeedi when it is considered that the four
squares measure nearly an English mile.
Skipper, the pedestrian, who has commenced the arduous task of
walking fifty miles a day for twenty-one days (Sundays excepted)
pursues his undertaking with apparent ease, And on Monday even-
ing completed his sixth day's work, being SOO miles.
WRESTLING MATCH FOR TEN SOVEREIGNS.

187

Between ten and eleven o'clock the wrestling for ten sovereigns
commenced in a ring upwards of 200 yards in circumference, before
the greatest number of spectators ever seen at Keswick on such an
occasion, and the prize was won by William Casa, of Loweswata.

It was yesterday decided at the Police-office, Wor-
ship-street, that the Magistrates, under the General Silk
Act, have not the power to compel workmen to pay for
any injury they do to silk, unless where done wilfully,
wickedly, and maliciously, with intent to injure."
SMITH'S PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE COMPOSITION
AND APPLICATION or TIM ENGLISU LANGUADIL—This is 0115 of the
most useful literary works on Education that has appeared in this
country for many years. It comprehends a complete course of
Grammar, Criticism, and Logic, explained in such a methodical
and practical manner, as must greatly facilitate the acquisition of.a
knowledge of these important sciences. The principles of English
Grammar which the work contains are more philosophical, the
' notes and illustrations more complete, and the examples and exer-
cises better arranged, than those of any similar treatise with which
we are acquainted. The sketches of criticism, and the elements of
logic, are, if possible, still more valuable; as they exhibit, within
a very short compass, the practical application of all the rules new&
sary for writing elegantly, and reasoning accurately, on any subject.
We therefore consider this work as eminently calculated to aid the
student in forming his taste, and directing his judgment iu the oar
poadou and application of the Boglig Language.
