PILSIIt MIX; JULY 21.—Sir ROD SAT Steenweg revived
at Pembrokelrard last week from 'London. He is nit
leave of absence, and being unwell, visits this neigh-
bourhood for the benefit of his health. Sir Rimini' it so
much better as to be able to take horse exerei,e daily.
They have commenced building up the bar racks in San.
derland, with brick instead of wood, with sr hick ;bate-
rial they were at first constructed. The east row is to
be taken down altogether, which will make it sit y and
healthy, and to be enclosed by a wall instead of the pre-
sent wood railing.
Mr. Joshua Henderson, oTthe parish of Stanhor, in
• Weardale, cattle dealer, was robbed of a considerable
-sum of money in a lane between Hamsterley and Bed-
burn, on Thursday 'last, by a person who- pretended tl
conduct him so far on the road. It appears that Mr.
llersderson had been in rather an intoxicated state at
the time. A reward of ten guineas being offered for
his apprehension, the thief was soon after taken, and is
now committed to take his trial at the present Durham
Assizes. This makes 15 prisoners for trial there.
The pickpockets were last week busy at their c riling
during the Glasgow fair—and the chief field of their
operations was amongst the crowd at the shows. One
novice in the profession committed a sad mistake the
other night, by putting his inexperienced fingers into
the pocket of *Lean, the criminal oGcer, and gently
taking from thence a pair of handcuffs, which &Keats
obligingly showed him the use of, and marched him off to
the Office, to ttie great amusement of the bystanders.
Madame Vestals left Waterford with Mr. Hoerr,
in her travelling carriage, for Cork. Nothing could be
more lacrymose than her concert at Waterlord. The
stage was ttoilighted with half a dozen tallow candles ;
half a doses more dimmed the spate where the or-
chestra was not. Mr. Hoare sat strumming an unfor-
tunate piano in- urn merry antique. Miss Notts sung
her belt, and Winn her worst. Her little nose was
turned up in disdain, and her pretty lip pouted unut-
terable hatred to a thin audience, who sat weary on
benches in the pit, for there ate no boxes at Waterford.
" I have bees roamlng"•••eaag she
" And we are yawnior-napest they.
" Cherry ripe, cherry ripe, ripe I cry"—warbled she.
" Mow leste.dme and cost-4bet In ern".-answer they.
Charming Vestals, delight of all dandies, and sweeert
of all spoiled pets ! Her half of the house did not pay
her posting to Cork !
A petition, signed by ninety-five of the most respect-
able inhabitants of Islalmesbury, has been presented to
his SIA/111tY, through the Secretary of &ate, praying
that his Maatart may be graciously pleased, in
mercy to the public, to direct that Ann Hill (the old
fortune-teller, the particulars of whose trial we gave)
be transported for the term of her natural life.
WOODS ow Fzar..--The undivided common between
Hezhamshire and Allendale, has been en fire for the
last three weeks, and is still burning. The moss and
peat have been consumed to a considerable depth. The
cause of this, like the other similar moor fires, is Dot
certainly known, but the poachers are suspected, justly
or unjustly. The fire which has been raging for tome
time on Bowes Moor. Bordersdale, and the adjoining
fells on the borders of Westmoreland, still renames tut-.
extinguished. The injury it has done is incalculable.
The -ling, the moss, and the peat of many thousand
acres have been consumed. The food of immense aura-
ben of sheep has not only been destroyed, but the great
proportion of the game, with its unfledged offspring,
must have suffered. Different causes have been assigned
for this dreadful conflagration. It has been attributed
by some to the power of the sun and the long continued
drought ; by some to lightning, mid by others to peach-
eat, The last opinion appears to prevail pretty generally
in Westmoreland, and the severity which has been
,eeenised towards the poachers is opposed to base

others of shooting, sport in which they are not allowed
to participat. • •
