SL.dCKELITR PRDESTIIIAN

The interest excited by this match, inimad of
'being at all abated, has considerably hicrealed, and
every day presents a more numerous display of 'lsl.
tors to the Heath.
Yesterday Wtt.sou, after a pod night's 'rest, ap-
peared at the starting post, at ten minutes before
nine, attired in a complete suit of flannel, , and a
black chip hat. He was attended at his outset by
Mr. J. Dyer, Mr. Maw, :tad Mr. Stephenson; a
Gentleman who has bin one arm, but wins, with that
one, proves himself possessed of no small degree of
energy—an energy which. he has but too frequelnly
been obliged to call into action, in protecting his
charge from the attacks of the multitude.
Wilson, at the commencement of his career last
:naming, exhibited every appearance of good health,
unabated vigour and spirits. Those who had an
opportunity of observing him closely, however, and
of comparing the aspect which he then assumed with
that which he presented at the commencement of his
task; could not but remark that some alto at;on bad
taken place. In flesh he is a good deal reduced, and
we cannot pronounce that his activity it equal to
that which he exhibited on the preceding night.—
Mat this should be the case, considering the exer-
tiortithe has already made, is rt:A at all surprising.
Indeed, the only source of wonler. is; viewing the
immense distance he has performed; and more ebpe.
ciaily Under the peculiar digadvaluages to which lie
hat, been exposed, by violent pressure and unprovoked
attacks, that he is not mac evidettly reduced in
perion as well as in strength. Hi. natural quali:ies,
oweirer, aid:d by pi Acme, seem ci,lite adilutte to
the undertaking, and as tar as d:protlan.:e is .to be
I placed uptht these, these is little doubt of eventual
hOCCESS.

We have already noticed that he has fi habit of
leaning hi. head a goad deal over his kit shoulder,
and of throwing the principal stress. of his weight Oa
his left hip. This practice, which is .evidently the
mutt of confirmed habit, was yesterday productive
of some inconvenience, and he corpplahied of a.pain
is his left.hip, upon which be frequently rested his
hand. A hint front his trainers, *however, in some
meaktgre tended to diminish this evil, and•by altering
a little the position of his body, and throwing the
stress more equally on hid hips, the pain was consi-
derably abated. •
Oa Wednesday night he made spine serious coin-
pldints of the inconveniente arising from the pressiiie
of the crowd, and declared, unless some meats were
1 adopted to relieve hint from that evil, lie fc.tred he
ihould he 44 knocked up." Those who were alive
to his success did
_not fail to pay attentio4 to this
complaint, and yesterday morning the following
1 hand-bill was distributed and posted in the neiAii-
[ bottrhootl of the sane of actit.r, :

" Give him room bar's. !—Ce‘tge Wilson, the Pe-
destrian, who is retto:ram;; a t tslc hitherto unatteii.,&!ti, nit
eemestly entreat* die spectators to keep w. a greater
as to allow ban sufficient *ram to walla with ett.e, and have
benefit the air. The pi cis Ire and interim tiura of the
tors will otherwi:e reu.tr his uterl.t ettettiona unav:tl: le, I
be win feel himself mill ._lied, 69 many clays of Estgae
perseverance, to abanci,m the ta•ls entirety—Lot ft qin
bhiCy oar his parr to complete it, but froto.the (.I
maiiiitg his way through the crowd tha: c aistatit'y s.rtouod,
arid itoped.o him.—litackheatit, list Sept,"
•the effect of this appal to the Public was cer-
tainly beneficial, ailti during the early part of the
day his course was c•imparajvely tree, arid his pro-
, gresS was proportionately e.:pedit:ons. At twelve
o'clock he had done eleven miles, and at two; six-
, teen smiles.

Having again refreshed and c.boged his shoes I
and socks, he pursued his lab-urs till halt-past six.
when he had gone 2; 'mks. Li his last roun.ll, he
WAS secured from the eitcroachments of the multi.
tude, which had grca:ly increased, by an admirable
plan, suggested by Mr. Mase, which was, to ['recede.
and follow him with two poles, carried in a hi.riatna-
sal position, and connected at each side, at a distance
of about 12 yards, by ropes.
On his re-Appearance, however, he had the aivan-
sage of a new and unexpected ally, we allthle to the
fall of a heavy shower of rain, which soon put tb
flight the greatest pculion ot• his tollowert, whether
on toot, on horseback, or in carriages.
- Never did we witness a more complete route. In
all directions were to be seen the effects of a preci-
pitate retreat. In one place a pedestrian was thrown
down by s an equestrian—in another ati equestrian
thrown dawn by a charioteer. Gigs every where
coming in collision with hackney coaches—carts,
with baroucbes—and donkeys with kh.nsettled racer:.
Thi rtiad in the immediate frost of the Green Man
'raverit on Blackheath, however, presented a terrific
scene bf confusion. 'Here, at the brow of the hilt,
the passage leading towards London was blocked up
by vehicles of all denominations, each of which press.
ed terward with an unwise impatience• amidst the
getifral crush. The consequence was, that the wheels
beinpre locked, the horses becatne restive, and the
Eassengers exhibited the wildest.sy mptoms of affright.
Exclamations of terror were exchanged from all
qparteis.' Here a butchet's 'Wife.' scrambled in the
laps of the delicate inmates of a,eurricle. In another
place a wretched donkey was hsrmatiely handed into
the dickey of a stage-Coach, while in a third the fore
feet of a dray horse placed in jeopardy the fragile
frame of a caster-monger's cart. 'l'be confusion, in
tact, completely beggars description; hien& and
foes seemed to have forgotten all the usual-courtesiei
of good manners—self-preservation was the leading
principle of action ; and Whether this was attaieed at
the expense of a crack in a LeijOiboar's head or pan-
nel, seemed to be a matter GI equal indifference.
The friendly shower of rain which has for weeks
been the object of hearty prayers among our farmers,'
was on • this occasion considered as tile most deadly
enemy, and like the pursuit of the flying I:..einiis of
France on their retreat from Nltiscow, over the bridge
of Beresina, the only object in view seemed to be per-
sonal escape from danger. Happily, however, the
effects.were not of a nature so tatal, and, with the
exception of a few wounded wheel: and fractured pan-
ads, we did not bear of any very serious calamity.
Time •accomplished what imprudent preciptancy
frustrated, and at length the whole multitude, atter
a heavy broadside from General Rain, made good
their retreat, with the advantage of havilig the dust
well laid on their jackets. Wilson, by this event, was
happily left in complete possession ut the field ; the
air was molted, the dust was partially laid, and that
wtfich to others was each a source ut alattn, to him

proved of the greatest advantage. He a footed it
, away" with new ardour, and by twelve o'clock hd
completed his forte•stcond mile. He then had his
supper, and soon after two bid adieu to his lie hen-
dreel4 male promising, from all appearance, to com-
mence the first of the seven hinvlreelth with his ascus.
tented spirits. •1n the last two hours of his per.
formance not more than twelve or fourteen persons
ware present. Several attempts were made to trip
tvols n ; but Mr. MAW and Mr. Stephenson were
however at hand, and Manfully resented the attack,
and those who were its authors were happy toescape
with whole skins although they could not boast of
being free from intotusi,ms.
Betting yesterdry was more general than on any
former day, and the odds were considtraiily reduced.
Three to two was considered fair, but even betting
was more frequent. T:tere 'are still those, however,
who refuse any odds, and are inclined to augur un-
favourably as to the result of the match. The car-
riages of persons. of respectability were more
uts than we had witnessed them before, and ammig
the inmates bets were frequent, both as to tin' time of
performing short distances, and as to the match itself.
It is not intended that the taclesttiatt should walk
on Blackheath on Sunday —he is to be removed to a
distance of at least six or eight Miles, and!:Jr Dyer
started with a surveyor, for the intrpcse of Oh osing
an eligible spot, and of prep itiog the necessary ate
lommodAtiuns yesterday evening. It may hot be in.
proper here to remark, that this gent'ent.tii's erttiono
lire actuated solely by feelings of Leto mite-I'e his
.not a single bet on the match, and AC'S, in all res, ects,

:.as also to theist of numerous other generous sup.
porters. Anytng others, a lady on th.e Heath who
keeps her servant constantly employed in making
him jellies and other nourishing. reoeshruents. He
will no doubt prove his gratitude, for their kit dn,:sses.
The Magistrates, in consequence of their delibera-
tions on Thursday, yesterday stilt the tcrre ecnnitatat
on the Heath, to remove all booths he which liqucrs
:vtere vended, and, in defiance of some trilling re-
sistance, by three o'clock there was not a place of
this description standing. It is heedless to SAL this
order was • productive of much mortification in all
quartet's; but in the end, the tilect will no doubt
prove advantageous, as' it sill inevitably prevent all
incentive to riots.

We trust the Magistrates will step here. We really
do not see that the morals of the lower classes are
at all affected by the rciPaition in 'ettestion. It is
merely an indulgence in the field spines of England
—on A large scale it is true, but one Magistrates will
do well to recollect that the British character is
greatly upheld by our sepetinrity athletic exercises.
Between the mul:itudinous visitants of poor Wilson,
the Pedestrian, and the crowds %who flock to a horse.
:ACC or a boxii7 s e.cio, r1„-re is no earthly
Amor.! the f-irmer we gave seen many of high
moral ciaaraetrr of both sexes; and, in sh,:rt, there is
nothing like ferocity in the minds of any of them,
even of the lowest Classes, although they are at open
variance with respect to the chances of the candidate's
success. Besides, we have not learnt that any ding
Ike riot and tumult calling for magisterial inter-
ference has occurred. We can tecollo:t, a few years
since, .when skittle•groends were datouneed, the.
lower classes were forced within the ale-houses to
i;et drunk and prate politics ; and we trust that the
Magistrates wid•have good sense enough on the pre.
sent coos ion to let Jahn Pull have his frolic tier in
hi,. own way, without indulging the splenetic puii.
tans with an edict against a harmless and inoffensive
