hours. Ile started from York at twelve o'clock on
Wednesday noon, and arrived in Hull a little before
nine o'clock that evening. He left that place at
three o'clock on Thursday morning, and arrived•in
York, at 24 minutes past eleven o'clock.. Mir:

about ten nsinutes bef.we ten that morning. He left •
Hull about half-past three on Friday morning, and
arrived in York a little after twelie, and went off nail.
about 20 minutes before two, and is very likely tb ,
complete his arduous undertakiug. He was bore Nov..

in the east Riding of Yorkshire. lie is six feet five
inches high, and weighs 10 stone three pounds; isity.
trade a tailor, but served the early part of his 41fii fro •
the army. Ile was always famed fur pedestrianism ;;.
but left it off for more than twenty years, until Isl I,
.when, fur nsmall wager, he walked 20 times round
College Green, Bristol, a distance of five and a halt,
.miles, in one hour.
A melancholy accident happened at Linlithgow on •
the morning of the 26th ult.:--A Campbell, r It-
catcher, having taken up his residence, about the
ago, in a small apartment of a house near ilt..-
market place, his wife, in his absence, affixed a burst-
ing candle to the wall, adjoining the bed where sl.e:
and her children lay, and having fallen asleep, the
"candle set tire to the bed ; the cot sequence of Olivia.
was, that two of the children, one about five, and Ow
other two years of age, were so dreadfally burnt the
they died in the course of. the day.
•Tbe mother iv.,
lit a ifisTrdf „papaws aw# was se slats scorched .t.,
to •ecasioo premature delivery ; but there are hope,
of her recovery, sad the child is doing well.
FATAL ACCIDENT .—A melancholy occurrence ll 3 p
pened at Rothesay on Friday. Six persoas in cross,
ing over to Cuwal in an open boat, upset from tuts-,
management, when four of them perished ; the other,
two clung to some boards and a box that were in tit •
boat, and were taken up by the Oreeno.:k packet. Tit-
bodies have not yet been found. Some of theta have
left families, and we understand all of them were is
some wit, connected, two, indeed, were married ttptcs
sisters, who now are in one day widows.—(Glas;we
