This chase excited the astonishment of all who witnessed

and speed. Five of the horsemen were in at the death.

A curious pedestrian feat was performed in Pulte-

John Townsend, who undertook to walk backwards 21
miles in 7 hours ; which he accomplished in 6 bouts

Mits. S %RAU BOND.—Soanetioses we are laid that
this lady's relations are residing in Ireland—at so•
other time in ScattlanA; but that some insight may be
given Into the realisation of the prospects of these
claimants, a correspondent begs to state a few words
for their information: Mrs. Sarah Biltd was one of
four children of Bond, a jeweller, residing in an
alley leading from Wellclose-square to Ratcliffe-high-
way ; he died about fifty years ago, and left his pro-
perty between Mrs. Sarah Bond and a sister (the
other two children appeal to have died in their in-
+racy) the miser died about twenty years since, and
gft Rev property. 6,000/. to her surviving sister, Sa-
rah Bond. who. it Appears by documents I have seen,
bought an annuity of 750/per annum. Living in a
most parsimonious 'neither, she contrived to scrape
together about 13,t04. three-p
-r cents.; 1.0001. four
per cents.' and 150/. per year in the long annoities;
and this, at her death, was the vrhu:e of be- immense
wealth. The p-rsan nest ii.ely o o s :s this pro-
perty is a Mr. limo!, a respectable bu rtir:, in Shore-
ditch, who has traced out that he is second cousin to
this wealthy spinster, his grandfather being the only
brother of the father of Mts. Man.!: and the only oh-
stac'e in his way .0 administer is, that he has not yet
been able to find out the church where Sirs. Antal
father and mother were wag ried, a most essential thinz
to prove the legitimacy of Sirs. Sarah Bond. It is
pr..per to state, that there are eight caveats thrown in
ag .inst atiministerin.r. So much C.t the stories that
have h. en circulated relative to this comparatively
trilling property.
