EATON THE PI:DESTRLI!C.  The lateness of the hour at which this enterprising individual concluded his unprecedented task on Saturday last, prevented us from giving more fully the particulars that occurred on that occasion.—As we before stated, the crowd that assembled to witness the completion of his perfornianee exceeded beyond comparison any thing of the kind heretolßue seen. Numbers of carriages, hatouches, Sze. of persons of distinction, were drawn up to facilitate the Pedestrian's course, and he accomplished his undertaking amidst boundless plaudits.—ln order, as we before stated, to convince the spectators that his vigour remained unabated, he walked an additional mile with perfect eau•—a nobleman present afterwards took Eaton and his children into his barouche, intending to drive them round the course ; but the impatience of the multitude to testify their feelings upon the occasion induced them to take the horses from the brrouche before it had got half way round, and draw it with acclamations to the Hare and Billet ; where the Pedestrian, decorated with laurel and ribbons, was received by his friends. After a short time, he mounted a balcony in front of the I Tare and Billet, and, in a brief and modest address, retnrind thanks for the protection and favour he had so liberally caperienced. He also took occasion to propose undertaking, without any delay, another task of walking tiO miles a day for 10 sucegssive days, for a subscription: or, by himself and son, a child under six Years of age, to walk 80 miles a day for the same time—the child to walk eo miles eta . day. Many of those present gave the pedestrian handsome marks of favour; among whom we remarked the celebrated Romeo Coates, who put down a sum of money, accompanied by na address to the multitude. Much of Eaton's success is to be attributed to the exertions of Mr. Robinson, a gentleman residing at the Heath, who, throughout the pedestrian's feat, affirded him every assistance and protection against the numerous attempts made to impede him in his undertaking.  The Dublin Critics have designated Mr. Liston the irresistible Liston. The epithet is not meant to apply to his beauty. One of the Parisian Theatres, the Ambit,/ Comique, has procured a successful Melo-drame, entitled lialeslas; on, les Raines de r.lbbaye.'

The Paris papers contain extraordinary and mysterious particulars of the trial of a woman named Caroline Lereuth. Site was charged with having stabbed the Sicur I)clsconrt with a sharp instrument, with an intention of putting him to death. The crime was designated as aiding and assisting in suicide ; but it appears from the testimonv of the parties themselves, that the man was too timid to stab him..elf, and prevailed on the woman to take intoxicating liquors to excess to induce her to commit the act. Dvlaeourt, in his defence, did all he could to save the woman ; declaritv that, she being aft:aid, he seized herb and, andstruck it against bislx atom ; but the Court sentenced her to ten years' solitary imprisonment and the pillory. On hearing her sentence, she wept bitterly, and said she would prefer death ; but on being informed by the President, that she had three days to appeal to the Court of Cassation, she resumed her firmness and was perfectly composed.—(She had since, appealed to that Court for a revision .4* her sentence).

POLICE. UNION-HALL.  AGGRAVATUD ASSAULT AND SUICIDE.--Two young men, William and Daniel Brown, the sons of a respectable inhabitant of Peckham, were brought before the Sitting Magistrate, charged with violently assaulting their father and mother on Sunday last. It appeared, front the statement of the hither, that on Sunday last, just as himself and his wife were sitting down to dinner, his sons, the defendants, came home, and his wife beginning to expostulate with them on some part of their conduct of which she thought she had reason to disapprove, one of them took up a chair and threw it on the table, proceeding to break the plates and dishes, glasses, Sze. The mother attempting to prevent him was knocked down— the father got up to interpose and protect his wite from further violence, and endeavoured to turn his unnatural children out 4. the house ; they, however, resisted, and a scuffle ensued, in which the poor oh gentleman was knocked down. As soon as he could recover his feet he went out to seek for a constable ; but before his return, both the defendants were gone. His wife appeared very much hurt at the conduct of her children ; and in the evening she went out, telling her husband, at the time she quitted him, that she had been cruelly used, and would never return to that house again. She did not return that night; and next morning (Monday) he was informed her body had been discovered floating in one of Mr. Whitton's ponds at Camberwell-grove. Mr. Whitton confirmed the latter part of this statement; and further added, that on hearing of the affray which had taken place on Sunday, and the melancholy catastrophe of Monday morning, he immediately caused the defendants to be taken into custody. A respectable person having become answerable for the future appearance of the defendants, they were for the present dismissed , Yesterday, Wm. West, a lamplighter in the service of Mr. Howley in the Borough, was committed on suspicion of stealing a street lamp.  Several publicans of Bermondsey were fined forty shillings each, for suffering apprentices and journeymen to game iu their houses with dice, cards, and dominoes.

NATIONAL REGISTER.  ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.  Sundry afternoon, about half past four o'clock, an elderly man threw him:elt into the canal in St. James's Park. A Gentleman's groom plungel in after him, taught him when rising, and brought him out. lie refused to tell who he was. A fine boy, five year; old, walking on Kensington Common, with his Father and mother, on 'friday week, was struck on the breast by a cricket-ball several yards from the bat, and killed on the spot. The party had made a momentary halt at the time. On Wednesday, a young woman of Hull, about nineteen or twenty years of age, threw herself into the Humber Dock, opposite Blanketrow end. A foreign sailor seeing the accident, jumped from h;s vessel, and succeeded in bringing her out, although repeatedly solicited by her to suffer her to sink. A quarrel with her relatives is assigned as the reason for this attempt at suicide. On Sunday evening last, as the tamily of Mrs. Leighton, of Cold hath-square, and five friends, were walking in the fields leading from Copenhagen-house to Holloway, the youngest son, Mr. David Leighton, ' only eighteen years of age, whilst in the act of running across a tick after a young man, one of the party, his foot slipped into a gutter, and he fell ; his trends saw him tall, but thinking he meant to rise upon the approach of ally one, they did not immediately go to him ; but, not seeing him move, they at last ran to his assistance, and awful to relate, they found him, who but a few moments before appeared in perfect health, almost lifeless, though without any outward appearance of injury. They raised him up, when he gave one heavy groan, and expired in the arms of one of his sisters. Surgical assistance was procured as soon as possible, and the relations have the satisfaction of knowing, that every thing was done which could be done, but the vital spark had fled. He was conveyed to the George publichouse at Holloway, where, on Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body, when, it appearing that the deceased met his death by the bursting of a blood-vessel near the heart, the Jury brought in a verdict of—Died by the visitation of God.

UDDITES.—A letter, of which the following is a copy, has h :en received by the I-Lone Secretary of Stetel from a Cheshire trate :—Mv Lord, Yesterday several of the Luddites from the neighbeurhoed of Mottram, the most diiturbed in Cheshire, and bordering upon the litniderstield eeighbotirhaod, caiee before me arid teuk the oath of alkgiance.

On Wednesday., -s one of the serjeants of the Leitrim Mihtia was walking, between S anti 9 o'clock, through St James's Church. yard, he was accested by a man, who asked him it ;le belonged to the Irish Militia reginie.nt qiiartered in Bristel. Ills answer was, that he did. Ile then asked him how he liked this country ; he replied, very much. He then began to abuse the serjoant, by damning him and every one from his country ; wain a second man came behind him, and with a carving knife, or :stile similar instrument, cut the sinews of his right leg in so dieadful a marthei, that the poor fellow has not been able to he removed front the public hawse to which he was iminekleitely conveyed. The serjeant recollects well th.• face of the man who spoke to him. His deposition as to the facts stated, has, we understand, been properly taken down, and we trust that the miscreants will he soon discovered. The serjeant bears a most excellent character in his regiment ; indeed, the eon luct of the whole regimenr, since they have been among us, has been truly exemplary.

REGISTER.  DRAMATIC REGISTER.  HAYMARKET THEATRE.  On Monday Mr. TALBOT undertook the character of Young Mirabe in The Ineonstaut. The defects which niamd his first re: formance prevented his giving this part the penance which belongs to it. His failure, however, was not so comnlete as in Rantrtr, and this is saying a ;Tom! deal when we reflect what an arduous task the representative of Yur.ng .11ira3e1 has to pet form. There was less of ttriuitiee in his manner than on the first night, and we could aim 'st have tlattQled curselv-s that the gentle chastisement we frit it our rainfal ditty to inflict, had had the desited effect Ili., performance became absolute:y respectrble towaids the lat. ter end of the play, and it is but fair to acl;nowlede flea if we have in some instances seen that pact of the character played with mote effect, we have also seen it (and that lcccotly) acted much worse. The Ilioneynonn was performed on Thursday. We nt.ver before felt inclined to rejoice that the author of this 1;110% a‘imirecl play could no longer feel the ill, of frail o;ortaiity. Had he lived .to have seen his play murdered a, it was this evening it would have driven him mad—perhap to suicide. • JONES, Mrs. (=tens, and Mrs. W Ms. ohtaincd and merited considerable applause as /Wand.), iieidihr and tolante. By the way we must here just hit to Mr. JONES that when he pretends to hum a tune hr ought not to make a noise as if he woe gargling his throat. Of the :est of the characters, the le3s we say the better, as it is difficult to determine which most deserved to be le sett, Mr. RENNET in focrieg, Mr. CHIPPENDALE in Lampad, Mr. EVttE in Balthazar, or Mr. T A LBOT in the Duke. Iticctefv ail Mr. T.'s ingenuity to find out a character in which he has less chance of being tolerable than in tins, Ile cant neither look the character tior weak it. Instead of appearing like the Duke disguised in order 'in) humble the spirit of A woman he loved, he looked mare like the leader of a banditti who had dragged an unfortuvire female to his retreat for the worst of purposes. When be took the key from his girdle to threaten Juliana with confinement, the air with which he di4l it, and the ferocious tti in which preceded and accompanied the action must have made that part of the audience who were not well acquainted with the play suppose that he was drawing a dagger to stab her to the heart, the only WaV, by. the bye, in which a person of his opputc(ince could be expected to make any impression on it.
