EXTRAORDINARY WALKIN Tea.--On Wednesday week,
at four o'clock in the afternogn, Mr. John Sanderson. of
Rothe!, started to walk 154 miles in 48 successive hours, in a
field near Cockbridge, and completed his arduous task, withoat
any apparent distress, in 45 hours and Si minutes, haviog.
rested in the course of the time tie hours ; and consequently
had walked four miles 310 yards each hour during the whole of
the time that he was actually on foot.--fiCarlisle Journal.)

At the Anniversary of the landing of the King at Leith,
on the 15th, Sir P. Adam said, as a sailor, he was glad the
King had landed at a tea -port town. Where else should he
land ?

L'lloatte-avrtctix.—The people of Paris have been
amused for some weeks past with a London invention by
no means new or striking in the place of its birth. A man
walks the Paris Royal and the most frequented streets in
the neighbourhood, with one large placard covering the
whole of his back, and another extending along the front
part of his body down to his knees. It contains the an-
nouncement of a new coach between London and Paris. On
his hack he bears the French, and on his breast the English.
The French have given this non-descript animal—this
walking placard—the title of 1 • !fusion Oche or biped
advertisement.

Sr. JAMES'S Pawn..—The Excavators having failed in
their attempt io opening a sewer from the Thames to carry
off the water in the Canal. the Board of Works directed as
open sewer to be cut across the Parade to Whitehall-stairs,
to effect the original intention of clearing the Canal. This
work commenced a few days ago, and already the o:d
sewer has been opened as far as the mortar, and from thence
across to the iron grate er flood gate ; all the old wooden
trunks are taken up, they were fou id very defective, and
some parts were completely choked up: the men were in-
structed to cut a new sewer in a semicircular form from the
end of the Canal, so as to cut off the angle which extended
before up to the mortar. The work is proceeding very ra•
pidly. Deal and planks are already brought into the Park
to be used in clearing the Canal, which is filled up with
mud to the banks. When it is cleared, brickwork is to be
erected all round the banks,like the basin in the Green Park,
by which means, and the current expected to be kept op
between it and the Thames, are sufficient to make its water
as clear and fresh as the Basin. Some say that an iron
bridge for the accommodation of Westminster is to be
thrown across the Canal when the other repairs are com-
pleted.
NEW DISCOVEtT IN CIFIYMISTRY:—A Prussian ebymiet (a
Mr. Salverte), in making experiments to improve printers' ink,
has discovered a process of producing from hempseed oil a
new species of black pigment, which, for brilliancy and inten-
sity of colour, far exceeds any black known heretofore, and
promises to render Prussian black as distinguished a colour as
Prussian blue is at present. The inventor has, we under-
stand, not only applied it to improve printers' ink, but also to
other useful purposes, particularly as a superior and safe black-
ing for tanned leather.
WRITS SAVAGES.—Tbe Milledgeville (United States)
Papers, inform us, that a few Indians haying encamped,
two or three nights ago, In a neighbouring county, for
the purpose of supplying themselves with venison, a party
of white men. went to their camp (the Indians being absent
on a hunting excursion), and took their blankets, clothes,
saddles, bridles, provisions, and skins, and made a bonfire
of the whole ! The Indians were entirely peaceable, had
done no mischief, and were famished with recommenda-
tions from M'lntosh and Burnett,soliciting for them friend-
ly treatment; but it was the misfortune of these children
of the forest to meet with savages worse than Indiana.
On Friday the Bth inst. as John Bantinfilsod Robert Little-
field. servants to Thomas Butler, Esq., Berry Lodge, Hata-
bledon, Hampshire, were removing same dung, they dis-
covered a snake's nest, containing 113 eggs; they were all
opened, and 96 young ones taken out alive.
The apple trees, in many situations, we are sorry to bear
fall very short of their usual produce; and from the treesJa
30 acres oforchard ground, nigh to Lord Erskine's Mat at
Hoimbush, we are told, that not more than as many bikinis
of fruit will be gathered.—(Sasse Advertiser.)
On Wednesday se'nnlght, a Morella Cherry, weighin; near-
ly half an ounce, and measuring four inches in circumference,
was gathered from a tree belonging to the Rev. DC Ridley,
at Fobray, Hertingfordbury, Herts.
PROSPECT OF A UTERI WINTIR.—A took 01* fieldfares
were seen at Lamplugh, Cumberland, on Wedne clay week.
The arrival of these birds, it is well known, port, ids a hard
and cold winter. This visit is considerably earli.r than can
be remembered by the oldest person : it is a very uncommon
thing to hear the chirping of the fieldfares and tie twittering
of the swallow at One same three.

Camberwell Fair was concluded last night, *lnd the
whole camp of exhibitors moved off for the village of Peck•
ham, where the fair will this day be holden.
On Saturday last, the Petty Sessions were held at the
Town Hall, Itomsey, before a full bench of Magistrates,
the Rt. Hon. Sturges Bourne in the chair. Several cases
of bastardy were disposed of, and one woman of the name
of Shackle, first swore she was ignorant who the father of
the child was, and afterwards offering to swear it, was CO4.
milted to the house of correction for 12 mantas.
