27.—Eaton the Pedestrian.— 
- Yesterday morning, ata quarter 
past eight o'clock, this person 
completed his task of walking 
1,100 miles in 1,100 hours, upon 
Blackheath. The early period of 
the day, however, at which the 
performance was concluded, in- 
duced 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 im- 
mense ‘multitude ofpeople. Within 
the last few days, Eaton was vi- 
sited by several persons of fashion 
as weil as sporting celebrity — 
Captain Barclay was also on the 
ground. Eaton it appears is ana- 
tive of Woodford, near Thrap- 
ston, in Northamptonshire, and 
since his youth has been equally 
distinguished for health and a 
tag of pedestrianism, ‘scarcely 
nown in his own country. The 
facility with which he thas -exe- 
cuted his unexampled ‘task, and 
the unimpaired vigour he has still 
preserved, have induced him ‘to 
propose some further ‘undertak- 
ings, with a view to derive some 
advantage from his extraordinary 
‘powers. 
28.—A most audacious robbery 
was committed a few days since, 
-on the premisesof Mr. Kean, corn- 
facter, on Bankside, the particu- 
REGISTER, 
1815. 
Jars of which are as follows :— 
On the day in question, about 12 
o'clock, at which hour none of 
Mr. Kean’s men, except one, who 
works in the stables, were on the 
premises, three men, one of whom 
had the appearance of a miller, 
came to the yard ; they first went 
to the dwelling~house, and told 
the female servant, they came for 
some corn, which was lying in a 
certain part of the granary, and 
that they had a cart at the gate to 
take it away. The servants not 
suspecting any thing wrong, suf- 
fered the cart to drive up to the 
granary, and the two men put six 
quarters of corn into the cart, the 
master amusing Mr. Kean’s*cook 
and nursemaid in the mean time 
with his conversation; when the 
loading was finished, the cart 
drove off, and was clear of the 
premises long before the fraud 
was discovered. 
30.—One of the most serious 
floods took place inthe Tyne that 
has happened since the great flood 
in 1777. Great damage was done 
to the ‘small craft in the river. 
We hear that by the violence of 
current in South Tyne, two of 
the arches of Hayden bridge have 
been destroyed. Great damage 
has also been done by this storm 
on the banks of the Wear and 
Tees.— Newcastle Paper. .

tants of Finsbury-square were 
thrown into the greatest ‘conster+ 
nation in consequence of a fire 
which broke out at the house of 
Mr. Mitchel, broker and apprais- 
er, in’Crown-sireet, corner of the 
square, which burned with such 
vapidity that the family experi- 
enced the greatest difficulty to 
escape with their lives. It was
