746 THE NATIONAL REGISTER. We have received, by a vessel direct from Quebec, Quebec Papers to the 13th of lasi month. — They allude to the pur chas• , by the Ame.icans from the Indians, of the Niagara Islands We know nor how this purchase will be viewed in the adjustment of the boundaries by the British and Ameri• can Coiwt.issiotiers. The 'Fr aty did not contemplate any such purchase. and indeed one of the Islands, as we stated the other dat, is within the Canadian territories. A letter from Newcastle, dated on the 16th, says : Evely thing remains quiet here, thanks to the excellent measuies of the Home Department, and the steady conduct of the troops. We are returned here; the South Lincoln re placed us at Sunderland; the Westminster is gone to Elull ; the 93d regiment is in Sunderland Barracks ; and the sth re giL:ent is with us." WILSON, THE PEDESTRIAN. The rage for walking continues to increase, and the pre parations making in many parts of the country to equal or surpass the extraordinary feat lately attempted by Wilson, have put that veteran on his mettle, and he now comes for. ward, offering to outdo all his former outdoings. Anxious to excel the B. leers and the Eatons, he is about to engage to walk 1500 miles in So successive days, to perform 50 miles in each day. This astonishing efiltrt he confidently asserts himself to be fully equal to. He proposes to make the at tempt within ten miles of London. Lord's CI kite! Grouted has been thought of as a fit place, but this the Pedestrian objects to, and would prefer a more extensive field of action, The time is not yet named, but whenever it arrive , . Wilson does not hesitate to say, it will add tro his celtbritv, and that " he shall rise like the sun front an ccli se, 01 from the gloomy envelope of an envious cloud, to shine with reno vated splendour." THE BL A CKH EAT II PEDESTRIAN. --Notwithstanding the unfavourable opinion entertained of Eaton, at the com mencement of his most astonishing undertaking, at Black heath, and also the unfavourable state of the weather ever since. his spirits arc not in the least daunted, and he conti nues his labours w.th every prospect of being able to accom plish the task. The only difference we find in him is, 'hat he now takes some repose in the day-tiine, princioally at the solicitations of his friends. Ile generally smiles whin lie is out a.walking, perhaps in consequence of the difference in opiiiion that lie hears ainoogst those who folkw him.— Yesterday he completed 194 miles out of the 1100. Rocu EST ER PEDEST RI AN —On Wednesday morning, Baker, at ten minutes before four o'clock, erreted on his I 16th day's performance ; he set-to in most ex cillent spirits, and throughout the whole of the day continued the same. He completed at eight o'clock (breakfast time) 134- miles, commenced again at nine, and by twenty minutes before eleven o'clock had gone 19; at one, at dinner, 26 miles; wben he went to tea, at five o'clock, 56 miles ; and a quarter b e col e ten o'clock that night finished with 51 miles, 168 rods, having then completed in the whole 7701 miles, and 304 yards —The weather was so tempestuous on Monday, that he was obliged to !cave off, after going only 17.1 miles. —The odds are high in his favour.—lle was going on yes. today in high spirits, confident of success. The Pi ince Regent and the Duke of Clarence, after visit ing the Marquis of Anglesea, at Beaudesert, Staffordshire, left that place Saturday, and returned to the seat of Earl Craven, near Coven!ry ; from thence they proceeded for the Marquis of llertford'::, Sudborne, SuflOPr. In their progre s s thither Sunday last, they stopped to. dine and sleep at the Wheatsheallnn, ,Alconbury Hill, and on Monday reached Newmarket ; the Regent dined at the Palace, and slept there the same night, on which occasion the town was brilliantly illuminated. His Royal Highness was pleased to promise J. Thorp, Esq. of Chippcnhatn, a visit in the course of a few da: . s. The report of the Palace at Newmarket hav i ng been totally dismantled is erroneous, as is also that of 4,0001. being annually expended on it. So also is that of the salary of the housekeeper being 5001. per annum. On Tuesday the Royal Travellers passed through Bury for Sudbourn. The Regent is expected in town on the 23c1 inst. Detachments of the Coldstream, and the 3d, 7th, and 40th regiments, embarked and sailed from Dover for France on Friday. A detachment of the 5, , d foot embarked at ftanyzate for Ostend. DRAMATIC REGISTER. DRURY LANE. A new Afterpiece, called Who's [rho? was produced on Wekesday night at this theatre. It is a light hut amusing composition, full of bustle rnd incident. The intrienpies of the plot, though not small, are ultimately well developed. The dialogue is easy and spirited, and Itot destitute of wit, and the whole happily calculated t':► bring forth, to the fullest advat,:tagz , , the comic F)wers of Messrs. Mundell, Bartley, Harley, Wallack, and Mrs. Orger. With the support of these performers, and that which it derived from its own excellencies, it is not sutpCo:ing that it should hale met . with a most favour able rt'ceptio►i. On Tuestlav Miss Nash appeared for the first time as 1 ii1;:t! . ;;li', in ;lie Siegc tlf Bei!zogle. She sung with taste .and elegance, but shone still more brilliantly as an actress cf f.eling and enert.v. Mr. Raymond's first appearance this ycar in Col. Cohemberg, afforded the public an oppor tunity of testifying their sense of his merits, by five rounds of the most unanimous applause. COVENT ‘RDEN. On Friday night, Mr. Conway assumed, for the first tip?:, On! part of Mac/nat . /at this theatre. This was a bold I.atl.rtal inv,-, in which n , Y, to fail, after so many celebrated pr:Alocessors, was equivalent to success. Mr. Conway's chief fault is the want el a proper medium. Either the tursts of his Yt , lco stun, or its whiTers elude, the ears of the au;lienee. This is perhaps a mama] deficiency, for judgment is correct, but it weakened the effect of his performance of the fallen hero. lle revealed occasional ilayhes of geuins, which would, no doubt, be more fre quent were more justice done, and more encouragement p.;ivca to his taleta:;, by the critics of the times. The seve r[y with which it is the fashion, with these genticmen, to treat hitn, is weight which prevents him from rising. The applause judiciously bestowed on his exertions, last hli day. will, we. trust, counteract the injustice of a few. it is now ascertained beyotni a doubt, that most of the dis orders inOticht to the human fianic maw fe•t and phew them ,se:es in the urine, and we have daily proof; that the study and invesiigation of that fluid leas been brought to the greatest reetiun by the intense applicat'on of Dr. Cameron, t.
