Skipper made a finale of his arduous undertaking on Tues-
day evening. in a gakant and spirited style; thus achieving
the astonishing, if not unparalleled feat, of walking 1,303
miles, at the rate of SO miles per day, in thirty successive
days. His daily emits° was from the Mouth of the Nile pu,:in
house, ropenhagen-street, Worcester, to the Lamb, Che.ten -
ham, and back to the spot he started from. On the day of al-
complishing his task, he set off about four in the morning. 331
returned about half past eight in the evening. The last two
miles of his career, his path was lined with speCtators ; and he
was joined by a band of music and flags, to escort him iota
the city with due eclat. His step was firm and elastic, and
pace so rapid, that t lose who would keep up with hint, Wit
compelled to amb!e--altnost trot ; an scarcely exhibiting the
least symptom of fatigue, be brought his toil to a suc,:essful
conclusion. We do not understand that much money was
pending upon the issue of this undertaking ; and, for his re
compenc.t, we rather think he has to rely upon the generosity
of the public. He is a native of Norwich; is about thirty-
four years of age, and stands five feet ten inches high.
Last week a gentleman, whilst walking over his grounds,
discovered a quail's nest, with the old one sitting on 13 eggs.
The bird has been once or twice driven from its °esti but
immediately returns. Naturalists invariably agree in as-
serting that this bird lays usually but six or seven eggs.--.-
(Ken) Herald.)
A few weeks ago a squirrel's nest was found on a tree in the
Glen of Gargunnock, containing four young ones, newly lit-
tered. They were carried home and put under the care of a
cat who had kittens, who suckled them, and paid them all the
attention she paid to tier own. They are now grown up and
perfectly tame. Two have been seat toEdiaburgh and two to
Dunblane.

On Monday. as a young lady was travelling on horseback
from Hucking to Maidstone, she was greatly alarmed, and her
safety endangered, by the chscbarge of a gun over a hedge.--•
Several shotstruck her clothes, and she was nearly thrown off
by the horse, but fortunately she escaped without personal in-
jury. It subsequently appeared that the gun was fired by a
young sportsman, who seeing the lady's feathers above the
hedge, concluded that they must belong to iC bird.

Friday an inquisition was held by P. LAYNO, Esq. Coro-
ner, on the body of John Crees, who died at From on the
27th ult. It app.-aryl that the deseased, with his brother
and two other filen 4s, had, on the previous Saturday. gone
so a public house in From'', where seveccelther, persons
were assembled; one of the party going t of the room,
his beer was drunk in his absence, which occasioned a dis-
pute, and, on Crees and his friends quitting the house, they
were followed by six young men, who called on them to
come back, and challenged them to fight. The deceased
was a few yards behind his companions, and was overtaken
by the other party, when an affray took place, and the de-
ceased was knocked down on the pavement, and received oa
the back part of his head a wound, of which be languished
till the following Wednesday, when he died. A most mi-
nute investigation, which occupied two days, was entered
into before the Coroner and Jury, end no pains - spared
to elucidate all the circumstances of the case,
examination of more than 20 witnesses. 'On

night last, at eleven o'clock, the Jury (consis
most respectable gentlemen) returned a verdict
slaughter against Timothy furk, Thomas Adam
ward Noble, as principals; and against John
and Charles Snelgrove, as alders and abettors;
all committed by the Coroner to Ilchester Gaol
the next Assizes.
