YIRME REWARDED.

On the 3511 of January, at eight o'clock, A. M.
was married, by the Rev. Ws EDEN BUTLER, M.A.
Mr. JOHN PHILBEICK, tradcfman, of Witham,
Hex, to Mifs HANNAH FRANCIS, of the fame town.
The circumftance is no otherwife remarkable than
as affording an additional proof (if proof were
wanting) to the millions of proofs already upon
record, that " honefly is the bell policy ;" and that
" a C.hiflian conduct will never go unrewarded',
even in this life." Hannah Francis was, we are
informed, educated in the Sunday School of
Witham, endowed by THOMAS Kvitasrom, Efq.
At the proper age, fhe entered into the fervice of
Lord Loa soacE, under his honk-keeper. In that
humble capacity Hannah behaved fo exemplary.
that the houlekeeper, at her deceafe, left her a
gold watch, fome valuable female ornaments, and
her Welling. When Lord LONSDALS died, he left
her tool. in money, and an annuity of to )I.
Hannah immediately fettled zol. per annum on
her indigent parent,,: and Irts now entered into
the filken bands of wedlock with a young and in-
du firiuus tradcfmaii of her own native town. Thic
is no romantic tale.—We have authority for what
we [late ; and we cannot but fmcerely congratu-
late a virtuous youthful pair on their mutualmoral
independent pi inci pies.

The Judges, it is laid, have direeted, that no

ceded by their Governor and Grwernefs, were con.
duffed into the dining room, in which were the
Duke and Duchefs of l'os K, and a large company
of the Nobility who were invited on the occafion.
After each of the children had received 'Tom her

the Public, that by the 39th Geo. 111. cap. 34.

An ancient (tone pillar, in a high flat7e of pre.
fervation, was found, a few weeks ago, in the bed
of Artie Beck, at Caton, four miles from Lancaf-
ter. It is about eight feet high, and bears an in-
fcript ion dedicatory to the Emperor Adrian; the
concluding line of which is not perfeelly legible.
The circumliance of finding this pillar conffampi
the fuppolition of the Roman Military Way hav-
ing palled through Lancaft er, to Over Burrow.
A few days ago, an old woman died at Ber•
wick.upon.Tweed, whore name was Margaret
Cleghorn. Although the had been chargeable to
the wills, the made a will, direiling how the war
to be buried, and fundry legacies to her friends;
but the overfeers of the poor immediately feized
her efforts, to indemnify the parifh. Betides a
confiderable fum of money, the had great quan-
tities of clothes; and nearly 3oc night and day
caps; the very papers the had got with groceries
were all carefully packed up in boxes, which all
fold well, as the buyers were in expettation of find-
ing fome hidden treafure in her packages.
Laft Sunday forenoon, at the I'retbyterian Cha-
pel, Leominfter, as the Rev. WILLIAM Lswati.in
was about to conclude his difcourfe, be gently
Roped forwards, and expired without a groan.—
He was about 65 years of age, and had for a ferics
of years been a very indefatigable Minifler to that
congregation, during which time he publifhed Cc-
•eral religious books and traits.
We have little to add to the account we gave
of the dreadful fire which took place on Wednefday
night at Mr. HAMI LTON'S Printing Office, whereby
the whole premifes were deftroyed. Nothing has
fince tranfpired to difcover by what means the un-
fortunate affair originated. It has been Rated, that
a boy belonging to the Printing Office feu fome ftraw
on fire, while feeding a dog. The youth fufpeCted
of the crime, or rather the negligence, was lodged
in the Compter all Wednefday night, and was yef-
terday taken before the Sitting Magi It rates at Guild-
hall,for the purpofe of undergoing an e xamination.
but which was not entered into in con resilience of the
non-attendance of Mr. HAM I L Tow,whofe perturbed
Rate of mind, throughout the whole day, rendered
him unfit to attend the invettigation. It is much to
be regretted, that by this calamitous fire, not fewer
than fixty perfons are thrown nut of employnient,
many of whom have large families. Several engines
continued all yefterday to play upon the ruins,o 'licit
Rill harboured a great deal of fire, to prevent the
poffibility of its being renewed fo as to effea further
mifchief. It is exceedingly diftreffing to witnefs
the quantity of paper tl.at is now lying among
the ruins, fpoiled and unfit for ufe. The quantity
entirely defiroyed is very great ; a Boukfeller is
Patemnfter-row had fent in paper to complete
fome Works, worth fome thoniand pounds. A
very valuable Work, juft firlithed, would have been

the melancholy affair taken place. The agreement
for the binding alone was made for aid.
