FOR THE SUN:

cAMBRIDGE TO LONDON. . .
Mit..EniTon-i-Desirous of . shewing- h. friend
the LIONS at CaMbridge, and that he might be a
partaker of the festivities and unbounded kospi-
tality which are always slieWn in the University of
Cambridge, especially during the Christ Mas ho-
lidays, I accompanied him there last week, and
We travelled through Royston, the PoStifig,-,.-being
charged fifteen pence per mile. After passing very
happily a few days in Cambridge, my companion
returned to town by the same route, and again
only paid fifteen pence per mile for the post
horses ; but wishing to oblige another friend;
who is devotedly attached to the picturesque,—
and is also a bit of an antiquary, and who wanted
very much to See Lord Braybroke's splendid
baronial residence, the Tower of Saffron-Walden
Church, and the numerous pleasant and cheerful
villa'es which intersect and enliven the Chester-
fordßoad to town,—my good nature got the
better of my diScretion, and 1 consented to join
him in a post-chaise by that route—little ex-
pecting that I should have to pay eighteen pence
per mile for sixty Miles, instead of fifteen
pence ; 'but so it was ; and the only remedy I
have for my folly in indulging my friend's taste
for the picturesque, is the chance, that by your
inserting this communication in your excellent
and orthodox Newspaper, I may save the
pockets of the hospitable CANTABS, who will of
course have too much good sense to pay eighteen-
pence per mile posting to London, when they can
travel for fifteen-pence a, mile by a nearer road
'of, six thiles—qiamely by Royston instead of
Chesterford and flockerill.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

POACHING EXTRAORDINARY.

A singular instance of poaching lately occurred
in the County of Northumberland, and has rers.
.dered it a matter of some speculation,- whether
certain recent visitors at Howscx HALL were
snore influenced by personal or. political consi-
derations in the mark of attention which they
:paid the Noble Proprietor on that occasion. It
was at first, and perhaps rather hastily-, insi-
nuated, that too great a regard for his Lordship's
periofials was displayed ; and, indeed, this opi-
nion seems to have prevailed at HGAVICK HALL,
by the following hand-bill which was issued
from thence, though afterwards suppressed on
considering the consequences which might. result
to the credit of THE PARTY, from attributing such
motives to this extraordinary but genuine mode
of testifying their admiration of the effects of
Lordship's patriotiSm and public -virtue.
WATCHES STOLEN.
GG
FIVE GUINEAS REWARD.
" Between the hours of I and 5 oa Saturday morning, the
18t4 instant, some evil-disposed person or persons did steal
from a Room above the Stables of Howlett Hall, THREE
SILVER WATCHES,—one of which is Capped and Jeweled,
with the Maker's fume 4 Josh. Doglish, Alnwick, No. HrEi
—the Maker's name of the other, ' Wm. Haddington, Lon-
don, No. 4780;'—and the other is a small Double-eased Hunt-
ing Watch, wrak in one of the springs.—Whoever will give
such information to Howick Hall, Or, to Mr. W. DAVISON,
Chemist Druggist, Ainwick, as shall lead to the discovery
of the Offender or Offenders, shall on conviction receive a
Reward of Five Guineas.

.. We are afraid that this is riot the only species
•:
of game aimed at by some of hiS Lordship's new
admiring visitors, but that his covers are likely
to suffer, W.-that before the season is closed, his
Lordship will find himself much deceived in the
friends whom he has recently selected &preserve
his game, however much they may contribute to
his obtaininr, the deputation of the manor of THE
STATE OF OLD ENGLAND !!

THE BRIGHTON GHOST.-Several strange ru-
mours are afloat; and it is confidently stated,
that a lady of respectability, tiow residing at
Brighton, possesses supernatural powers, and
can bring forth the persons of individuals who
have been some time dead ;. and that very lately
she exhibited her skill so satisfactorily, as to
convince a gallant officer, Colonel —, that he
really believed he saw the late Member for —,
Who died•abaut three or four weeks since. It is
even said, that the Lord of Wild Strawberry no-
toriety has been also gulped, and that he verily
believes the Colonel actually saw the late re-
spectable individual alluded to. The natural
credulity of this Scion of the old Aristocracy, is
so well known, and he is so notorious for credit-
ing every idle tale which is communicated to
him, that we should not be surprized if it was
'intended only -as an hoax upon 'him.
Tirz THEATRE:—The Romance of Rob Roy,
on Saturday last restored Miss STEPHENS to Co-
vent-Garden Theatre, in the part of Diana. Ver-
non. Ilerlieaith seems to be re-established, if
we may judge from her musical exertions which
were marked by simplicity, feeling, and taste.
She was very warmly received by a numerous
audience.

- NALDI FAMILY.—The family of the ill,
fated NALDI has experienced a double misfor-
tune,in losing at the same time its protector and the
means of its existence. Miss 'Naldi has not appear-
ed upon the stage since the fatal loss she has
experiencecL The Managers of the Italian Opera
are about to assist her. The revival of the Nozze
de Figaro' is announced for her benefit on
Monday next ; and this piece, already so attrac-
tive in itself, will. acquire new eclat from
the distribution of the characters. Madame
Mainville Fodor will sing the part of the
Countess, to-which she owes the reputation of the
splendid talent she possesses. The part of Set.
salvia will be given to Madame Ronzi ; Pelle-
grini will represent Figaro ; and Levasseur, who
went into Italy to perfect his fine talent, will re-
appear in the Count Almaviva.

Some fears are entertained for the safety of the
Exeter Company of Comedians, who had not ar-
rived from Guernsey (where they had been per-
forming some time), 'to open the new. elegant
Theatre at Exeter, on Monday last, and as there
is reason to suppose that they sailed from the
!sland the Previous Friday.
