wits's* It.. -
Os Monday last. John Towoend, who has lately dis-
tinguished himself by walking backwards, walked on
thellunslet•road thirty-six miles, in that unnatural mode,
in eleven hours and twenty-eight minutes, being thirty-
two minutes under the time allowed; and yesterday he
walked from this place to York backwards, and front
York to Leeds forwards, in 15 boars and 25 minutes,
being 35 minutes within the time. We understand that
it is his intention to walk 1000 miles, 500 backwards and
500 forwards, in IS days, provided a parse of 20!. be
subscribed for that porpose.—(beeds Mercury, June 15.)

A highly respectable and eminent Wes: India es-
tablishment suspended payment yester.iay.
New bay was sold at Preston market, on the sth
instant, an ins t . f the forwardness of the season,
of every rare occurrence.
A large quantity of ice was shot about ten o'clock
on Sunday night into the cellar of a confectioner's in
the Strand. It consisted chiefly of large lumps as
white as snow, jest imported from Norway. The
singularity of the scene, after the recent sultry wea-
ther, arrested the attention of the passengers, and
collected a crowd upon the spot.
A LONG Cucumarn.—There lyt new in the posses-
sion of the waiter at Birkenhead Hotel, a cucumber,
which is about seven feet long; which was grown at
Bevington.
SHOCKING Acannww.—Yesterday forenoon, as a fruit
caravan belonging to Mr. Dancer, a market gardener,
of Fulham, Laving discharged its load at Covent Gar-
den, was returning home, the horse when near Hydn
Park Corner became unmanageable and set off at full
speed towards Knightsbridge. After proceeding about
a hundred yards, it soddenly diverged from the road
and rushed among the passengers on the foot-path.
The consternation in that crowded thoroughfare may
easily be conceived, and the mischief that ensued is
mach to be deplored. Many persons were knocked
down and ran over, anion, whom, we learn, the follow-
ing were the principal. saff :—Thomas Wright, a
blind man, had his thigh bone fractureJ in two places;
Thomas Vickers. his leg and thigh fractured, and his
head cot; Esther Cary. her skits and ancle bone frac-
tured; John Francis, his head and body injured; and
Catherine Me. Donald severely injured in the head and
arms.—No blame is attributable to the driver who was
111 the vehicle proceeding steadily along, till the sudden
starting of the horse tore the reins from his hands .t'pon
enquiry at St. George's Hospital, this moraine, we under-
stand that the unfortunate persons are considered likely
to do well.

A Cotoner's Inquest was held on Thursday even-
ing, at the Turf Tap, Grosvenor Place, before Thomas
Higgs, Esq. Deputy Coroner, on the body of James
Skean, who MJS unfortunately killed on Tuesday
last, by the falling of a high wall at Brandenburgh
House. The deceased, with others, were employed in
pulling down the premises of BranJenburgh House at
Hammersmith, the materials of which bad been sold by
anction in lots to 1 purchasers, and on Tuesday af-
ternoon the deceased, with risen, were at work in taking • ,
down the brewhouse part of the remises ; at that ties • -
only the well and two frames were standing, which was
