TROTTING MATCH

Captain JACQUCS having undertaken to trot a hone, which he
was bound to find within six weeks, 17 miles within an hour,
to ride himself, and not to exceed 11 stone, for 300 guineas, he
made the attempt on the Huntingdon road yesterday; but after
doing nine miles in .31 urinates 10 seconds, the horse got off his
speed, and the Captain pulled up in the twelfth mile, determiAtd
not to distress the horse as he was behind his time. The match
arose out of a conversation respecting Archer trotting sixteen
miles in fifty-four minutes and a half, in 1784. This horse trot-
ted the second mile in three minutes and one second, which is
equal to the performance of the Phenomena mare, and she could
do nineteen miles an hour at the trot. Time was backed in this
instance at high odds.

Only two freeholders of Warwickshire are now

The Mayo Constitution says,—" On Sunday se'n-
night, Lieut. Limo, on half-pay of the 58th Regiment,
was attacked at Ballina, by six or seven persons, at first
with stones, with which they knocked him down se-
veral times, and after wards with a shovel, by a stroke
from which his forehead was laid open. He died ,en
Friday morning, and an Inquest was held on his body,
who found a verdict of—Wilful Murder against B.
Keaveney; and that Mary Sweeny, Bridget Keaveney,
Catherine Sweeny, Mary Lynot, and P. Sweeny, were
accessaries. If there was any cause for this outrage,
it has not been communicated to us."
Tim MEMOIRS OF JOHN EVELYN continue to attract
universal attention. It has been justly observed, that
no change of fashion, no alteration of taste, no revo-
lution of science, have 'impaired or can impair his
celebrity. Satire, from which nothing is sacred,
scarcely attempted to touch• him while living, and
the acrimony of political and religious hatred, though
it spares n9t even the dead, has never assailed his
memory. How then has he attained this enviable
inheritance of Fame ? not by surpassing genius, not
by pre-eminent powers of mind, not by any great
action, not by any splendid accident of fortune, bat
by his virtue and his wisdom, by the proper use of
his talents, and of the means which GOD had entrusted
into his hands, by his principles and his practice.
