PEDESTRIANISM. A Gentleman of great respectability and opulence at Chertsey, and who weighs about fifteen stone, has undertaken, for a wager of Fifty Guineas, to walk from the Market-house in that town to that of Guildford, a distance of twelve miles, in three hours. From the well-known habits of the Gentleman, the admirers of pedestrianism anticipate a delectable treat on the occasion.  The Duke of RUTLAND is at his seat at Chevely, near Newmarket. Lord Haazwoon will remain in Yorkshire till the hunting season is over. A cucumber has been raised in the garden of Mr. Maccaloch, of Guernsey, which, on Sunday se'nnighr, measured seven feet, and it was supposed would grow five inches more. .  A summer-house, in the grounds itf Mrs. GARRICK, at Hampton, was broken open and robbed last Friday night, and the carpet and various articles of furniture taken away. Very fortunately one article, which its original owner had highly valued, was left behind, on account of its cumbrous dimensions and weight. This was a large arm-chair, made by the direction of DAVID GARRICK, out of the celebrated " mulberry tree" planted by SHAESPEARIL Between the hours of one and three o'clock on Tuesday morning, the dwelling-house and shop of Mr. CHARLES COOPER, grocer, Upper North-place, Gray's Inn-road, was burglariously entered, and robbed of one hundred and four sovereigns, £l5 in notes of the Kingston Bank, a £lO note of the Guildford Bank, 1:26 in Bank of England notes, and £l3 in silver, amounting in the whole to £l6B, and one silver caddy spoon. Four assassinations have taken place within the last eight days in Paris. The last victim was a woman named Denise Calpin, who was murdered by a man with whom she had cohabited many years, and by whom she had several children. He was arrested immediately after committing the deed, and conducted to the Prefecture of the Police.  A fatal accident lately occurred at Poictiers. A young man went into the garden of the house in which he resided with his wife's family, to amuse himself with firing at a mark. The door of an old green-house served for a target. The moment he discharged the pistol a shriek was heard from within; he rushed forward, and his wife fell into his arms, expiring as she uttered these words, " Jules, you have killed me r Yesterday an Inquisition was held at the Penitentiary, Millbank, before Mr. Moos, Coroner, on the body of Charlotte Moss, a convict, who died in the prison on Monday last. The Jury returned a verdict—Died by the Visitation of GOD • There was another Inquest, held before the same Coroner, at the Greencoat Boy, Tothillfields, on the body of Mr. James Brill, aged 47 years. The deceased lived in Greencoat-Walk, he was in good health on Sunday, and made a hearty dinner with his family ; he retired to rest at an early hour in the evening. Next morning groans were heard in his room by his son, who went instantly to ascertain the cause, and found him in the last agony of death. A medical man was called in, but the deceased expired before his arrival. Verdict, Died in aft of Apoplexy.' A third Inquest was held by Mr. Htoos, the same day, at the George, George-court, Strand, on the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Child. The deceased was the wife of Mr. Child, of Castle• court, Strand ; she was about 21 years of age, had been married three years, arid had three children. Monday night she went to bed in her usual state of health, and next day her husband found her dead lying by his side. Verdict, Died by the Visitation of Gots in a fit of Apoplexy. Thursday, the 27th Illt. WILLIAM PARKER, 'of Horton, fell down on the road between Horton and Bradford, and instantly expired. It is remarkable that this sudden death took place within a few yards of the spot on which the father of the deceased was killed fifteen years ago, by a blow from a person of the name of Jagger. Sunday morning, during Divine Service in the Parish Church of Berkeley, the congregation were thrown into the greatest consternation by Mrs. SARAH IRISH, of that place, suddenly dropping down in her pew. Dr. JiNNER went to her aid, but discovered she had been seised with an apoplectic fit, and she expired before she could be taken home.  C.
