II A It LBOROUGH-STREET.

Saturday, J. Simpson was charged with obtaining money from
the Duke of Gloucester by false representations. Sense months
singe, a letter wa. addressed to his Royal Highness, by a person
named Baker, who stated that he had been an upholsterer in Nor-
' wich, but was now in great distress. Ilis Royal highness 'mine-
' din:loy sent the person 10s A tew days after, Baker wrote him a
second h tt, r, stating that the 10s. was of no use, but that he had
drawn up 4 p..!itiln, and from the well known liberality of hislioyal
nightie's. he should take the liberty of putting down his Royal
risjiness's name for one guinea, and he should call for the money.
The Duke of Gloucester then sent the letters to the Alenclicity Su-
eiety, gnu they were unable to discover the writer. A few days
sir•.ce the Duke received a letter from the prisoner, couched in
, nearly the same terms as those sent by Raker, and the prisoner was
directed to call at the Duke's residence. In the meantime, appli-
cation was made to the blendicity Society, who sent two 'Cheers to
take the man into custody. lie received Zs. but observing the WE-
cers hr threw the money down. lie now contended, that as he
had not received the money from the Duke's steward, his offence
did not cum: within the meaning of the Aet.—He was seat for one
month to the !louse of Correction.

The Dr:rsei Chronicle says, a poor woman in a neigh-
bouling county appeared with her child before the pa-
lish surgeon. " Well, my good woman, what is the
matter with your child?" "ola ! Sir, I'in afraid you
tan do nothing for 'n. I have tried everything. I hive
,cair;ed 'n to the water three times backwards; I have

*drae'd through the brimle bush; and I have let the
mall.tr d bb,w in the mouth of 'n ; and natbin doed 'n
a hit o' gude. I am afraid your honour can do
nothing for n.
From the following account of a robbery, taken from
the Gentleman's. Magazine, it appears that in former
clays thieves were as ingenious as the present race of
pilferers July 26, 1771.—The following andeci
rubbery was committed at an apothecary's, in Princes-
sure . A fellow went its at the private door, which
happened t ) be left open, walked up one pair of stairs,
packed up the bed, mamas', and all the bedding and
iurniture of the bed, and came softly down stairs with'
it. By some accident his foot slipped in the passage as
he was going off, and the load ie►l from his head,
The 'toile brought out the apothecary. " Hey day,
friend," said " what are "yon doing there?
Sir," replied the min, akin:tot the least hesitation,
" I have brought home the bed and bidding you-pur-
chased to-day at the auetion." " I puichat? a bed
at an auction !" was the answer ; " I was at no anc-
tion,.nor have I purchised any bed." " lira sure,"
t'-eturned the: fellow, " my master told me it was at an
apotliecari's ; though perhaps he might say it was
near an apothecary's. I'm sorry for the mistake, Sir,
and I hope you will be so god as' to help me up
with my load again, th'ltt I May carry it to the right
131 ace." The apothecary very civilly did as he was
desired, and the man marched off with his prize ;
but lo ! when the apothecary and his wife withdrew
to bed at night, all that presented itself to their view,
was a roped four-pdt bedstead, and the party robbed
discovered that be hid literally assisted in the robbing
of hiinself.

A medical Gentleman, has stated that a few drops of
"any mineral acid put in the wound inflicted by a rabid
animal effectually prevents hydrophobia.
An Fishman who said he and his family lived on
potatoes, being asked if there was not very little variety
in the diet? replied, 64 Not at all, man, we have great
variety, for we eat the little potatoes with the big ones."
IioRACJI VERNET, one of the first French p.4inters,
has lust his election to the French Academy by a single
yoke only. To console hiin for this disappoint-
merit, the Duke Da ammo has• appointed him his
Aid-de•Camp, with the rank of Chef d'Escadion in the
National Guard. This is perfectly characteristic of
the Fiench—fOr in what other country could it happen,
that to console a man for not being m td: a grave
Academician, !leis turned into a ga-y Aid-de-Camp I
