&farmer in Devonshire, of the name of Afarten-
dale, has been twelve days labouring at the Barclay
snatch, of a mile every hour for six weeks. The
undertaking is for a bet of 500 guineas. The pedes-
trian, who is a fine athletic man, of twenty-five, is
backed by his landlord. Ile is said to be going on
well ; but the odds are two to ono against his accom-
plishing the task.
A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday, on the
body of Mary Hodges, of Vinetarthwalk, Clerken-
well, at the Vineyard-house, in Vineyard-gardens,
Clerkettwell. It appeared that the deceased on
Monday morning, while in bed, cut her throat with I
a razor, and lfterwards plunged the %sot so deeply
and forcibly down between the flesh and bone, that
it was found difficult to extract it. Several witnesses
were examined, but no ostensible motive could be
traced us leading to the dreadful deed.—Verdict,
Lunar.y.
Des:L.—A Gentleman of the name of Sateen° was
mounded in the shoulder yesterday, in a duel with
another Gentleman,whose name has not transpired.
An encampment will shortly be formed on Sher-
wood Forest, about seven miles (torn Nottingham.—
It is to consist of 3000 infantry and 500 'cavalry.
A correspondent has informed us, that as soon as
the horrible fate of Air. PeacevAL, and the dis.
position manifested by some part of the populace,
were made known to his Ito)al Ilighness the
Duke of Sussex, he issued orders for the assent-'
Ming of his Volunteer Corps of Royal North'
Briton', add who were accordingly mustered by nine
o'clock on Monday evouing, in Gray's Inn-gardens,
randy to act ns emergency should require. lle im-
mediately directed the depot of powder and arms
to be secured, and remained with them upon their
ground until three o'clock in tb• morning, when
their further attendance being unneees-ary, ho
made them an impressive addreis, and previously
to their dismissal, regaled them with his usual hospi-
tality. Our correspondent adds, it appeared to him
that the duties of Citizens and Soldiers are well ex-
emplified by this corps, and it was altogether a seen*
which a Patriot would have beheld isitiVolit stormy
and a General without mom. • • •ti
