EXTRAOIDINAST PCITORIIIIINCI..-. CIO Thursday
last Viscount Newry. assisted by five qhf his own ser-
vants (men not acenatemed to the work) for a coati-
&table wager, accomplished the Herculean task of
rowing from Oxford to Loudon in eightesa successive
boors. The 6oat left Oxford on the morning exactly
as Great Tom struck Mere, and arrived the same even-
lag at Godly* and Searle's Wharf, Stirrer side of
Westobtater bridge, one minute and a half aefbre shoe,
winning the bet by the minxes and • half only. Hie
Lordship and men, by an iscessant application of 18
I hours to the oar, were, an arriving. as may be Data-
rally expected, in a state of great exhaustion; they,
however, performed the undertaking in a gallaat and
masterly style. When we consider the time necessa-
rily lost In passing the numerous locks, we believe an
institutes of greater skill and prowess is scarcely to be
fouled on reoord ; but Lord Newry Is famed for mealy
and athletic exercises and laborious employment.,
which he males as ordinary amusements.
MATCH Mt 500 Sovaastocs.—The Trotting Mattis
against time. for the above sum, took place on Thurs-
day. over a two-mile piece of grouted to Cartel Ledo-
sure, Herts. Captain Biegley aodertook to ride his
mare 16 miles In an boar. upon the trot, and to carry
12st. which was done as follows:

The horse broke twice in the ram but did not seem
distressed in any part of it. Captain Marston acted as
novice, and betting was 6 to 4 agst time.
Yesterday af.ernoon, between fire aod six o'clock, a
fellow of the name of William Gaffney, a butcher, in
Newgate-market, proceeded from that place. accom-
panied by many of his companions (all of whom were
in a state of degraded drunkenness) to Blackfriare-
bridge, for the impose of deciding a wager for half a
pint of gin, that Gaffney would not jump from the top
of the Bridge into the Thames. The ruMao stripped
himself naked (drank as he was) on the centre of the
bridge, to the disgust of the numerous passengers.
and threw himself into the river. His good fortune
favoured him more than his d ; for although it
was approaching to low water, he received little or
no injury, and from his being a good swimmer, not-
withstanding his great intoxication, he got down the
river near to the Trafalgar, or Southu ark-bridge.
where he was picked up by a waterman.
Early on the morning of Thursday the Bth lost, a
poor labouring Irishman, in a fit of despair, attempted
to comthit suicide. in Mr. Godfrey's barn, at Mittens ;
he made a deep incision across his throat, making a
oonsideralie woad is his windpipe ; it bled profusely.
bat by the timely attendance of Mr. (titling. surgeon,
the wound was sewed up and the man is doing well.—
Being unable, from the pressure of the times, to earn
as much moo-y as be expected, it the cause assigned
fur the nail act; be says be has a wife and four chil-
dren in Ireland, dependant on his labour.—(Stomforif
