Munchikow is the 'squire gifted for all these purposes, and thus the treasure is restored. Thing Ton, the Chinese God of War, and Shing Moo, the Peaceful Fairy, ag ree , however, that before t h is restoration take place, the parties shall assume pantomimic forms, till, " on the plains of Wa terloo War shall join with Peace to vex the world no more !" A transformation ensues on all sides, and the pursuit begins. A great variety of mechanical tricks were executed, for the most . part with precision, and promise to amuse the visitors of the Theatre at this time of the year. The scenes, where they had any object, were aimed at the passing follies of the day, and the ad mirable mimicry of Grimaldi gave them full effect. The best scenes of this kind were the resuscitation of the Clown by gal vanism, and a mock duel. There was also a trio on the top of a- house, between the Clown, big Mistress, and a Cat, which had an excellent effect. The animation of the picture cards in a card-maker's shop was well imagined, and pleasant, as it brought to mind the immortal game of cards in The Rape of the Lock. The characters of Harlequin and edlumbine were supported with hereditary ; and beside the usual pantomimical charac ters, there was a miniature Clown, represented by Master Joe Grimaldi, who displayed some very extraordinary postures, and great agility ; together with a horse, three donkies, a lamb, and some other quadrupeds, who trod the stage with great propriety. The piece concluded with a splendid scene of the Temple of Peace. and went off with great applause. PEDESTRIANISM. PEDESTRIAN MATCH OF 1,200 MILES. MAIDSTONE, Dec. 24.—0 n Saturday morning, at IQ o'clock, e. m. Toffee started, and, with the assistance of his son, com pleted, at half past six o'clock, 23 miles; at 12 o'clock 42 miles, and finished their task of 1,200 miles 10 minutes after four o'clock, being allowed till yesterday morning at half past 10 o'clock to accomplish it. Of this performance, young Tutfee, a boy twelve years of age, went, without the least impediment, 501 miles ; the father 698. EA TON, THE PEDESTRIAN,—Tuesday morning, at d quarter past eight o'clock, this individual compleated his task of walk ing I too miles in 1100 hours, upon Blackheath. The early period of the day, however, at which the performance was concluded, induced the pedestrian to continue his labours throughout the day ; and this he was requested to do, by a large party of respectable persons, who proposed visiting the scene of his operations at four o'clock. At this hour he finally retired from the course in the most perfect health and strength, greeted by the cheers of an immense multitude of people. Within the last few days, Eaton was visited by several persons of fashion, as well as spoi ting celebrity. Capt Barclay was also on the ground. Eaton it appears is a native of Woodford, near Thrapsten, in Northamptonshire, and since his youth has been equally distinguished for health and a power of pedes trianism scarcely known in his own country. fhe facility with which he has executed his unexampled task, and the unim paired vigour he has still preserved, have induced him to pro ose some further undertakings, with a view towards deriving some advantage from his extraordinary powers. The following affidavit was made at the Mansion-house on Saturday : (• We, the Undersigned, do make oath, that Mr. Eaton has, up to the present time, in every respect, conformed to his engage ment of walking 1100 miles in 1100 successive hours one or other of na having gone over the ground with him, by night and day, since his commencement on the 10th of November last.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 23. EARL OF ROSSLYN v. JODRELL, r.s9. This was an action to recover from the defendant, a bendier of Lincoln's Inn, the amount of his bond for tool. into which he entered, on being chosen a member, to ray the dues of the Society, and which dues he had never since paid. Mr. Lane, steward of the Society, produced the bond, which was dated 1771. The arrears due by Mr. Jodrell was '2521. 12s. 10d. ; calculated at the rate of :Os. per annum for preac 1 t!r ; ss. 4d• per annum for pensions; and commons, 51. ts.- - I'l o rse were the dues paid by all the benchets who continued their names on the lists; and all the members of the Inn were liable to them. Some paid, but many resisted the payment: Mr. Jodrell was one of them. Mr. Scarlett, for the defendant, submitted, that it would be extremely hard if Mr. Jodrell was forced to pas this demand. The fact was, that although he was called to the honourable So ciety of Lincoln's Inn, he had never won a wig and gown. or lived in the Inn. Independent of this, he observed, that the practices of the Society in ancient times, upon which the fees in question were founded, were very ditTerent from those of ti:e present day ; and if all the orders of the Society were to he en fOrced, many of tho s e who now thuight themselves safe would he found to have acted in breach of dwir bonds ; for by an •. order in the reign of James, the under Barristers were amerced in consequence of having neglected to dance on Candlemas, Day, while the Judges were present. — (Loud laughter.) Lord Ellenborough said. he should not go farther back than the date of Mr. Jodrell's bond. W hate% er the practices of the society then were, as he had thought proper by his bond to rc-. cognize them, he must take the consequence.— rhe Jury aslsed whether Mr. Jodrell might not have withdrawn his name.—Mr. Lane, the steward, answered in the atliAnati% c.
