five o'clock, on the Whitechapel Road, to trot
twelve miles within an hour, for a wager of fifty
guineas. On finifhing the dinance, it was found
that the little animal had two minutes and a half
to fpare.
MATCH AGAINST TIME.—On Thurfday lag, a
wager of rather a fingular nature, and for a con-
fiderable amount, was determined on the road be.
tween Glafgow and Falkirk. The bet was laid
between Mr. John Stobo, Surgeon, in Cumber-
nauld, and Mr. James Smith, of the fame place,
that the latter Gentleman would not walk, in the
fpace of half an hour, two miles backwards. To
the furprize of many prefent, Mr. Smith perform.
ed the walk exactly in twenty minutes. There
was a great concourfe of fpeaators prefent, and
the novelty of the bet afforded good fport.
ARCHERY.—?he Woodmen of Arden again
met on Wednefday to float for their Silver Arrow.
The day was rather unfavourable to their acetic-
tomed difplay of !kill, being very windy, which
gave an advantage to the itrong bows. The con-
telt lay principally between the Earl of Av LES-
FORD, General FINCH, Wu. PALMER, Efq. CHAS.

Much good !hooting was difplayed, confidering
the weather, and the prize was won by WM.
PAssiaa, Efq. On Friday the Bugle was flint
for; and the day being more calm, a very fitilful
and excellent contelt took place. The great op-
pofition this day was between THOMAS FEATHER-
STONE, Efq. RICH. GRIASLEY, Efq. Rev. JOHN
Dust, and GILBERT BPRESFORD, El+ The hard
contelled trophy was at length won by Mr.
DILKE.

ing days, was played a grand match of Cricket, in
Lord's Ground, Mary-la• bonne, between eleven
Gentlemen of the County of Surrey, and eleven
Gentlemen of all England, for I 000 guineas.—

The new Teignmonth Theatre opened on Satur-
day, under the patronage of Lord Cou RT N sm.
An elegant little Theatre has been ereaed for
the amufement of our troops Rill at Alexandria.
The Performers confi(L of Officers of the Indian
and Engin Army. Their afting is excellent.
The number of vifitors in the Theatre is limited.
TWQ large Grampufes or young Whales ground-
ed in (hallow water a few days ago, near South
Queen's Ferry, and being unable to get off, were
killed by tome perfons belonging to the North
Ferry. They were towed over to the harbour, on
the fouth fide, and fold to a gentleman there, for,
it is laid, 201. Each meafured about 26 feet in
length, and t 6 feet in breadth.
Some (port time finee there were dug up in the
county of Wicklow, a number of gold and filver
ornaments of great value, tome of which have been
fold to Mr. Delandre, of Skinner-row ; and others,
we learn, are yet to be difpofed of. The gold or-
naments weigh upwards of 160 ounces, confining
of heavy oval rings, fufficiently large for the arm,
&one of them decorated with a fort of fretwork in
front and others plain. They are of excellent qua-
lity, being about the flandard of our gold coin,
and jufily deemed of a very remote antiquity, (to-
tally differing from any of thole antient curiofities
from time to time heretofore obtained in this i (land )
and their ufe or application utterly urknown, or
but very vaguely conjeaured by filch of our vir-
tues as have yet lien them. The filver ornaments
purchafed by the fame citizen, of circular form,
are of very rude workman(hip, and not foldered
