PEDESTRIANISM.

Capt. Smith
Mr. Golding

Lieutenant Fairburn, who is now considered the fastest hundred
miles sunner in the kingdom, accomplished his task of going on
foot from t►e 95d mile stone, norm of Stamturd, to St. James's
Chapel, Tottenham Court-road, in 20 hours, at a quarter before
twelve o'clock on Tuesday. He started at four o'clock on Tues-
day morning, and went to Buckden, 31 miles, in six hours, before
he refreshed himself with a mutton cutlet. His stay was only a
quarter of an hour, when he proceeded 19 miles in the next four
hours, to Captain Boson's, near Biggleswade, where he ate half
of a fowl. His stay was short, and he travelled un to the 25th
mile stone, near Welwyn, Hens, where he arrived at dalk, leas-
ing himself six hours to finish the remaining distance of 25 miles.
SKATING.—FATAL ACCIDENT.

Alois, the tinman, who, until his late defeat in combat in the
West of England, with young Flowers, was considered the cham.
pion of provincial boxers, was drowned while skaiting, on Mon-
day last, near Bristol.

By advices from Tampico, we learn that very heavy
rains and freshes had been experienced at that place.
The banks of the river had overflowed, and had caused
great sickness as well at Tampico as in the interior,
and the crops had also been destroyed. Tire water
rose so high that the inhabitants had used canoes in the
streets, and no business had latterly been done, the
town having been deserted. The bar was also closed
for sixty days, to prevent the ingress and egress of yes•
sels. At Guadalaxara the water reached the tops of
the trees on the hanks of the river. Mexico was ex-
tremely sickly, in consequence of a disorder raging
similar to the scarlet fever, and at one period the deaths
averaged one hundred and fifty per day. Tr:e accounts
from Panama state, that some of the Delegates to the
General Congress had arrived there. These advices
contain nothing of interest.
Private advices from Bogota state, that BOLIVAR had
written to the Colombian Vice-President from Cuzco,
where he was staying, to say, that in April, 1826, he
should have the felicity of returning to Colombia. "I
only wait," says he,'" to see the liberty and inderen-
dence of Peru consolidated by the wisdom of Congress,
which will meet on the 10th of February, and to return
the authority with which it invested me; to deliver up
the country absolutely free, and to take farewell of my
dear friends and citizens of Peru." At the date of there
advices, e►erything was going on prosperously in Co-
lombia. New regulations for the Police of Bogota were
being introduced, and the second races, which had Just
concluded, had gone off with-much eclat.
We have received a Lima Gazette of die 25th of
August. It contains several decrees by BOLIVA ft, dated
Cusco, 4th and sth of July, chiefly on the local affairs
of Peru; but, in their way, of great importance. The
Ist commences with stating that equality is the basis of
,the Constitution, and goes into details respecting the
personal services of the nstive Indian', the exactions,
I and ether oppressions which they have suffered—and
decrees that contracts between the natives and their em-
ployers shall be regularly entered into, and the payment
be made in cash. All must contribute equally to the
public burdens. The 2d Decree relates to the due dis-
tribution of the public lands. The 3.1 decrees that all
hereditary titles be abolished—the authority anJ title of.
Caciques among the rest. The 4th and sth relate to
the cultivation of the wool peculiar t• Peru, I,r which
premiums are awarded. The 6th rela es to the estab-
lishment of the Lancasterian schools in Peru, and to the
regulations of the Post.
We have received accounts from Hayti to the 16th
November. On the 7th of th it mon►h, the three French
Consuls arrived at Port-au-Pi ince, and on the 12th hid
an interview with President Roust. The two appointed
to Aux Cayes and Cape Haytien would immedi4tely
after that day proceed to their respective places of des-
tination. Tranquilli y, which had been threatened by
ihe conspiracy, was restored, and a general wis'i ex-
pressed that Consuls wculd be appointed by this Go.'
vernment. Trade was dull. Coffee crop scarce ; price
10i to 3 dollars per cwt.—The In lir Jane Stewart al:
rived at Cape Haytien on the 7th November : this ves-
sel took out M. L. ALRURET, the Chief Commissioner
1,0 the Haytian Mining Company.
