In consequence of some unforeseen obstacles, the
proposed Monument to the memory of the late Lord
Ilet.som is not to be erected at Yarmouth. This was
determined upon at A Meeting of the Committee held
last week.
The establishment of the Police officers in atten-
dance on the Patrice REGENT and the Royal Family
has been reduced by the death of MACIIAh US, whose

are licensed by the board of Green Cloth, and not by
the Magistrates.

Extrct of a letter from the Magistrates of a
Cqunty Town to the Association for the Relief of
the Manufacturing and Labouring Poor There
are no manufactories in this County which call for
the particular attention of the Magistrates ; but that'
have directed their attention to the providing means
for the employment of the labouring classes in making
such roads, and such works as their agricultural ha.
hits may best qualify them to undertake ; and it is
with great :attention they can state. for the infor-
mation of the Committee, that in some parishes the
principal farmers have already agreed among them-
se:yes to take into their employment all the labour-
ing poor in proportions calculated upon their respec-
tive rents, and have provided objects of extra works,
to employ them upon."
Thursday se'nnight, the body of a young man was
found by a fishing-boat from Arbroath, about a mile
off the land, and brought ash•ne for interment. The
mutt' was much distigitred, and only the stumps of
the legs remaining. He was owned the next day by
his brother, as belonging to Montrose, and unfortu-
nately drowned there, some weeks ago, on the arrival
of .one of the Greenland whale ships.

A new diversion is now fashionaSlc at Paris. In a
garden situated at the Barriere do Route, there have
been erected what are called two Rurciais mountains.
These are inclined planes to imitate the see hit: of
Russia, and the amusement is to slide down this abrupt
descent on a sledge. The rapidity of the motion,
which takes away the breath, and a noise resembling
a burst of thunder, do not deter the adventurous belles
of Pais from taking tins new amusement,
There is at present to be seen in the inclosed ground
at Nelson's Monument, ,Calton•hill, an apple tree,
bearing a load of fruit and blossom for a second
crop; the tree was planted last Match.
Our letters from Cadiz of the 6th instant, record
another most arbitrary act on the pat of the Spanish
Government, which at the same time evinces the
wretched sr,a,c of the Peninsula. When 14outtxo's
late expelition was fitting nut at C isliz for the pur-
pose of carrying vengeance to the other side of the
Atlantic, so great was the want of money, that the
GOVe111111?la was obliged to t fleet a loan of about
one million and a half of dollars from the merchants
of the above place. To inspire more confidence, a
Curnntioc:: chosen from among them was named to
receive t:.c respective loans, and authorized to give
bonds baring iittaast, and payable at stated periods.
XI these have expired, the lenders have been cla•
motous for their toads, whim 1.1 a Royal order
comes down trot. Madtid, decreeing that neither
principal nor interest arc to be paid. This we suppose
mutt be intended as a punishment to the too free-
minded city of Cadiz, and for principles its inhabi-
tants imhtlied by staving the Cortes so long among
them. Another expedition against Spanish Ame..-ica
i. threat:_ited, the same, or greater pecuniary distress
prevails, and as no inure loans can be negociated, it
is concluded, that it the me.isute is to be carried iitto
execution, toreed contributions will be resorted to.

BISIGHTON, AUGUST 2J --This twining, at twenty.
..tie minutes after tour o'clock, Evnt4s successfully
performed his herenlean task, of walking 1000 miles
in 17 days, During the progress of his undertaking,
the Pedestrian lived in the most abstemious manner.
After the completion of his task he retired to rest for
a few howl, and then pffered to bet £lOO that he
would walk to London in twelve hours, and start at
any hour this day. We have not heard whether the
challenge has been accepted.
Tuesday morning Mr. Swenson. far a wager of
twenty guineas, undertook to walk ten miles in one
hour and three quarters ; he started from Shoreditch
Church, and performed. the task on Lea Bridge
Road, M case hour and forty minutes.
A young Gentleman, Mr. Keur, at the some
time, also undertook for a wager to walk six miles'
in 5.5 minutes, which by did within nineteen seconds
of the given time,

Lag Bight. between nine and ten o'clock, one of
those frail and dangerous vehicles, a hired gig, re-
turning from Eghara Races, with a Lady and Gen-
tleman, broke down in the village of Hammwsmith,
The Gentleman was thrown out and much hruized g
the Screams of the L;ady, who kept fast hold of the
broken vehicle, frightened the horse, which . set off
at the full gallop, until it came in contact with a stage
coach, the pole of which entered its breast and killed
it on the spot. The Lady teas thrown out with
great violence, and her skull was fractured. She
was carried to * neighbouring public-house, almost
within* signs of life.
The very fine, warm, seasonable weather we have'
enjoyed, and which, fr.m its appearance, seems
likely to continue, has materially affected the mar-
ket. The demand for all kinds of grain, as well as I,
the price. will decline as the harvest advances to-
wards its conclusion. provided no hidden change in
the weather takes place. The crops of barley and
oats will be very abundant, but the wheat in many
places in this neighbourhood appears to bare beta
partially injured. At this day's market scarcely any
business was done, and the prices were merely nomi-
nal, via. fin... English Wheat, 84s. to 904 Irish Wheat,
