PEDESTRIANISM.
A young man has undertaken, for 100 guineas, to walk 100
miles is 22 hours. The pound chosen is Great Peckham.
ANGLING.
A few days since as a Gentleman was fishing in the river
Teign, he hooked a salmon, which could not have weighed less
than twenty-five pounds. After playing the fish for nearly an hour
without being able to land him, another salmon about same
size seized the other fly, and broke the line. They swam with
great velocity down the stream, and the line got entangled in a
stake. The Gentleman immediately plunged into the water,
which nearly reached his chin, and, after a short ebace, came
up with, and captured both the fish, though not without some
resistance on the part of the latter. What is more extraor-
dinary, the second fish that was hooked had followed the other
closely from the time it had been in jeopardy.
ZOOLOGY.
A few days ago, a woodcock's nest, containing four eggs, was
found in a wood upon one of the Duke of Dirvousmar's estates
in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The old bird was taken, and
the eggs were brought home by the game-keeper, and deposited
in a cupboard by the fire-side. The next morning three young
woodcocks were found to have broken their shells, but are since
dead. As the woodcock is considered a bird of passage, this
must be a circumstance worthy the notice of Naturalists.

Our travellers who have been on the Continent, remark, that
there are no custorn-houses at which the examination of baggage
is so unnecrswily strict as at the frontier of France near Dun.
kirk, and at Ramsgate in this country.
We are requested by Mr. SANts, Bookseller to his
Royal Highness the Duke of Youx, to announce
A Second Letter from the King to his People. The
24th Edition of the First Letter is mw ready for de-
livery, and may be had of all the Booksellers in the
United Kingdom.
We understand that the Novel just published,
under.the title of Precaution; or, The Matrimonial
I Balance, which promises to become so great a fa-
vourite among all classes of readers, is the production
of a distinguished American. Whoever may be the
writer, we have to congratulate the Public on the
accessiotl of a new Novelist, possessing a, peculiar
felicity of talent for this species of composition.
t Coale Ascnsmos, Mslut-erne, MAT 25.—The Wheat trade
was heavy this morning, and only that of fine qnalides could be
disposed of, which obtained Monday's prices; but there was no
demand for inferior samples. Barley was very dull of sale, and
rather cheaper, having a good supply fresh in from 50ff0.1t„....
Oats are rather lower than on Wednesday, laving large arrivals
from the Yorkshire coast. White Peas are Is. lower. In Beans
and Grey Peas no alteration.
