TER GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCR.-Mr. Abertheney.
the Scotch pedestrian, completed bit match to go from
London to Nottiogbam and back, making a circuitous
route of 260 miles, in four successive days. It has al-
ready been d, that be did half Isis distance in good
form, and started again, after sufficient rest, with four
hours to spare. On the third day be took a training of
25 miles to breakfast, in imitation of the work of the cele-
brated Captain Barclay, cut out for Cribb, previous to
hie renowned battle with Holmes, at Thiasleton (lap.
He ate his fowl comfortably, stretched, and made a
start of 35 nines to dinner, off • rump of beef, at six
o'clock in the evening. Refreshed as much as be wish-
ed, be took a walk I 5 miles farther, to a favourite quar-
ter where he had been before, and retired to rest tolera-
bly well. He started again at three o'clock on Saturday
morning, and did his fourth day'. work, 55 miles, bat
not without great perseverance, before eleven o'clock at
night.
The fight this day between Abbot and Ward, has ex-
cited more than ordinary lot . Ward was the favou-
rite, at 5 to 4, with plenty of backers.

On Wednesday morning, between one and two o'clock,
the mail coeds, on it. way from Lieus to Nottingham,
was overturned at Drop&ld, owing to the extreme dark-
nose of the eight; it foil upon the off side, and the
coact was completely shattered. One of the passen-
gers was eonsideratify hart, and the guard, tieorgo
Blame, did not escape without-braises, but seeing there
was no probability of getting forward by the coach, he
mounted one of the horses and rode to Chesterlid
where he procured a chaise and four, and arrived at
Nottingham at half-past six instead of balf-past live.—
The coach came forward with the passengers between ten
and eleven. bearing evident ruarksof the accident which
bad happened.

An accidentoccurred in Wakefield, on Monday night,
which was likely to bare been attended with melancholy
effects. The London Mail coming into that town np
Kirkgate, was overturned near Pok•street, by coming
upon a heap of rubbish left there by some work•nen,
who bad been digging a cellar. The coach was full in-
side and out, but fortunately only two gentlemen were
hart—one slightly, the other had his head and fare
terribly cut by the glass of one of the windowe, which
was btoken in the fall. Not the least b:aum attaches
to either coachman or guard, as the accident era; entirely
owing to the darkness of the night, anti the impru Jenne
of those who bad encumbered the read.—We have since
beard that it is intended to proceed against the praprie-
tor of the premiere, out of which the rubbish had been
taken, for his negligence in not removing it.
Monday evening, as the London and Bath Mail um
passing by WaleotCboreb. avid I children being
at play'in the road at the time, a boy about three years
old, was kno..:kril down, and the forewheel passing over
the lower part of his body, canoed his death in about
ten minutes; three medical gentlemen rendered the most
prompt assistance. No blame!s attributable to the coach-
, man, who netd every endeavour to pull up, but in vain.
