PEDESTRIANISM —Richard Sutton, the pedestrian,
who is performing the Barclay match of 1000 miles is
1000 hours, at Milton, near Portsmouth, continues his
arduous undertaking with unabated confidence. He has
completed upwards of :AM miles.
Talmo, Jona 7.—A yonng man named Charles An-
drew, alias the Brighton. yeigh; gave notice last week,
that he would walk 51J miles. in eight successive hours,
in the vicinity of this town. For the purpose of per-
forming this pedestrian feat, he chose the road by the
river side, bettiem this Ogee and Mottos ferry, and had
a half mile matured on a part whirls is pet teed! levels
He commenced his task on Monday at twelve o'clock.
and completed the undertaking by half-put seven, being
half an hour within the allotted time, including an hone
for rest and refreshment: so that be went little less than
8 miles an hour during the time he continued walling ;
during one part of the performance he actually went ten
miles in an hour and a minutes. The task was fairly
completed..nor did the pedestrian appear at all distress. d,
though the weather was very sultry, and the high ground
on one side of the road deprived him of the benefit of a
slight breeze from the eastward. A collection was made
for him, and be offered immediately after he Imi com-
pleted his task, to go 100 miles in 10 hours. on the next
day : to start with the mail roach from thiii place. and to
reach Exeter two hours before its arrival there, or to
wheel a barrow with 6 cwt. in it, six miles in an hour,
provided a sefficient inducement were held cost to hint.
The performer, who is in his 19th year. is a native of
Cambridge, and is about 3 feet 4 inches in height. On

order to enable the Cwomissioners for the Caledonian
Canal to proceed in oprning the navigation between
tie eastern and western seas, at 25,0001., clear of all

Toe Waarnaa.—Yesterday was the hottest day
experienced this season, iu the metropolis. The ther-
mometer, in the Strand, was 84 degrees between one
and two o'clock. For two or three evening, previous
lightning had appeared, and in the afternoon the
clouds began to collect and indicate an approaching
storm. A little before seven o'clock a shower came
on. accompanied with thunder and lightning, and as
the evening advanced the rain fell heavily,or, according
to the Scottish phrase, its " an even-down pour." Never
was rain more seasonable for the garden crops or for
the oats and barley on light tanJs, and considering the
time it fell it was abundant. In the course of three bouts
the fell,according to the rai n-guageousounted is 3 maths
of an inch. From all parts .of the kingdom we
have received accounts that the weather daring the
last week has been exceedingly sultry, and the pro-
gress of vegetation proportionally rapid. Respecting
the degree of heat experienced in some places, the ac-
counts appear incredible to us, who strive to be atten-
tive obs of the physical as well as political ther-
mometer. At York, it is said, the thermometer, in a
northern aspect was, on Wednesday et noon, 82, and
at Knareaborough 87 ; and at Warwick, this day
week, it is stated to have risen to 93 in the shade !!!
Near Lewes, also, it is reported to ►av e been one
day last week, so high as 86 ; and et Liverpool, on
Tuesday last, at 84. Is Dublin, howe►er, on Tim re-
day last it was mimed high, though only 70 at
3 o'clock ; and et Cork, on the Ist instant, 74. la
the latter city, on the 3d, it is said there were more
thunder and lightning, accompanied with heavy rain
than were perhaps ever experienced i■ that climate.
At York a similar storm occurred en Wednesday even-
ing last. This storm extended northward into Scot-
land. Near Morpeth, a mare Ind foal were killed in
a geld by the lightning, and a man was struck dead,
while at plough. Os the afternoon preceding soother
storm passed over Edinburgh. The pealsof thunder were
loud and frequent and the lightoi ng remarkably vivid. I t
was accompaoled by a mixed shower of rain end hail of
such violence that the lower parts of the Old Town
were completely inundated Ina few minutes. The flood
was so great, and at the same time so sudden, that two
children who had been amusing themselves at the back
of the castle were surrounded by the water rushing
Mows to tb.' North Loch, and would inevitably have
been drowned, had oat a boy guns in sod carried
them oat.
