PEDESTRIANISM.
CANTERBURY, APRIL 18.—Rickets, who undertook for a
wager of £5O to perform 63 miles in ten hours and a half, com-
menced his task yesterday morning at a quarter past six o'cloalt,
and ran the first nine miles in one hour and two minutes, and in
the first s x hours 39 miles. He continued the journey till the
time was expired within eighteen minutes, when, from being ex.
tremely fatigued, and having six Miles to perform, he gave in.—
Ikts at starting were even, but after he bad gone the first six
hours, they were from S to 1 and 2 against him.

Further particulars of the Royal Hunt.--The stag
was caught at Wickham, by taking shelter in the cot-
tagi of a poor labourer. It was one of the best runs
the sportsmen enjoyed during the preient season.and
coatinued for. bore two lours. When the st_az
reached the plhntations belonging to Lord Grerivi,
he made a parley, and effectually succeeded In throw-
ing out the sportsmen, when he took speed for Lord
Boston's Park. Finding himself closely pressed, he
then made a fine ran to Wickham, and took refuge in
the habitation at a poor man, but few sportsnien were
present at the time.

We understand that Mr. Ackermann has been so
fortunate as to procure from Paris a print of the cra-
dle provided for the young heir of the imperial house
of Bonaparte; an engraving of which will be given
in the next number of the REPOSITORY of ARTS, &c.
It will afford a medium of comparison between the
taste and talents of the French and those of English
artists in the same line ; while the physiognomist
will be disposed to deduce from the jolly, good-hu-
moured countenance of his infant majesty, conclu-
sions favourable to the future repose of suffering
Europe.
