Miss ROBERTSON appears, if we May judge from
her Letter in our Paper of Monday, to have re-
covered -her good spirits in Huntingdon gaol; and
to rake an interest in the passing events of the day.

she may in time be brotight to so Christian a dls.

We read of Mr. BECKFORD'S retirement to a
castle which he has bought in Switierland, cele-
brated for the loves of Ahelard and Eloisa. We
are happy to find that Gentleman participating in

must naturally inspire.
It is not easy to discover, what is the reason of
the price of Porter continuing as high as ever. We
know that all the old ingredients of the article have
declined in price ; but we cannot say, whether
there has been a proportionate fall in. Spanish Liquo-
rice and Cocculus Indicus.

If the Brestiers do not lower the price of Porter
conformably to the decreased price cf Grain, thee-
will become Butts of public censure] and their fame
will go to pot.
A Clergyman who performed the nupti'al cere-
mony after the passing of the Marriage Ad, accord-
ing to the antient ritual of the Fhct, I,vas transported
for his offence, on the prosecution of the celebrated
JOE VERNON, the sitter, who instituted a criminal
process against the Minister (who was regalarly or-
dained), in order to dissolve his union with Miss
PoTlea, of ,Covent.tarden Theatre : this hap"pened
iii /755, when the Town took so much offence at
VErsNoN's •condua, as not -to suffer him to appear
oh the Stage the principal part of the next season.
On Saturday, se'nnight was committed to Lan-
caster Castle, John Nurcher the younger, a horse
hirer and bread baker, of Wigan, charged with hav-
ing !ribbed the Post-boy carrying the Mail between
Choriey and Wigan, in Qd6ber 1799, and for stop_
ping the same boy a second time, as he was convey-
ing the bags of letters between Wigan and Choriey,
on the morning of the 29th of Dec,arther following.
It would, in the present stage of the business, be
extremely improper to lay before the Public the
various circumstances m,hich occasioned the dis-
covery' of the offender, so long after the two rob-
beries had been committed, or to disclose any part
of the evidence which was brought against him ;
it was such as to leave no doubt but that he is the
guilty person. At the same time, it is but justice
to the charaiers of three others, who had been ap-
prehended on Nutcher's infbrmation, (Barrel, the
late post-boy between Warrington and Wigan, upon
whose testimony the persons concerned in the vari-
ous robberies of the Mail between Warrington and
Wigan had been convicted, Fox and Barnes) to
state, that there did not appear the smallest reason
to believe the Prisoner, who, indeed, previous to
his commitment, voluntarily attested to the Magi_
trate their innocence, and the wickedness of his
k,n declarations concerning them.
Gut lutt ALL. Yesterday Mrs. Vagg, Mary
Godsell, and Joseph Cassin, the three persons ex.
amined on Monday before Mr. Aide:man StctlquEß,

the particulars of whose examination we detailed
on :Tuesday, and who were desired to produce
proof of what they asserted with respeet to the
hoUse in which they were found in Cow lane,
appeared again before the Magistrate, when, a
letter was handed to him written by Mr. CAR Eir.
The letter stated, that the house and furnitbsre
were his property, and that he had given permis-
sion to Mrs. Vagg to reside there, knowing her
to be a person of exceeding good charader. It
further stated his readiness to pay whatever may be
due to the Parish for taxes. Mr. Alderman SKIN.
NER professed himself to bat pedealy satisfied with
the testimonial produced.
