Speed of Me Horsc.-As every thing relating to the performances of this no- ble animal, is worthy ofrecord, we give place to the following which we find in a late English paper:-ssCommon re- port says that Flyng Chalders could run mile in a minute, but there is no au- thentio record of this. He run over the Round Course at Newmarket (three miles six furlongs and ninety-three yards0 in six minutes and forty seconds. In l772, a mile wasrun by Firetail in one minute and four seconds. In Oc- tober, l74I, at the Curragh Meeting in Ireland, Mir. Wilde engaged to ride { I27 miles in nine hours. He perform ed it in six hours and 2I minutes. He employed ten horses, and allowing for mounting and a moment for refresh ment, he rode for six hours at the rate sof twenty miles an hour. MT. Thorn hill, in l745, exceeded this, lor-he rode from Stilton 10 London and back. and again to Stilton, being 2l3 miles, in eleven hours and thrty-four minutes, which is, after allowing the least possible time for changing horses, twenty miles an hour for eleven hours, and on the turnpike road and on even ground. MT. Shaftoc, in l762, with ten horses, and five of them ridden twice accomplished fifty miles and q quarter in one hour and forty-nne min

 utes. In I763, MT. Shafioe won more

 extraordinary match. He was to pro.

 cure person to ride one hundred miles

 day, on any one horse each day, fop

 twenty-nne days together, and to have

 any number of horses not eycendinf.

 twenty-nine. He. accomplished it ea

 fourteen horses; ;and, on one day, he rode i6tD miles, OH account of inc tiriing of his first horse. Mr. Hills Quibbler. however, afforded the most extraordi- nary instance on record of the stoutncss as wellas speed of the race horse. In December, l7S6, he ran twenty-three miles, round the fiat at Newmarket, in

 57 minutes and ten seconds.''
