BAKER, TILE Roc IrEsrER PEDESTRIAN.

SEVENTEENTII DAY.

Baker began his 17th dat's journey at a quarter
before four on Thursday morning, and after walking
four miles, stopped a short time for refreshment ; be
continued tilt a quarter before eight, completing 11-1
miles, and went to breakfast ; in half an hour he
again started, and stopped a short time in the course
of the morning, and accomplished 244 miles at half-'
past twelve, and then went to the Cossack to dinner ;
after stopping his usual time he let off till about fire,l
at which time he made up 38 miles and went to tea;
in half an hour he went on the ground, anti pursued
his journey till half-past• nine o'clock, and finally
completed 51 miles and 192 rods.
Thursday morning came in %IN' a cloudy aspect,
and at half-past seven a heavy shower of snow fell,
the fislics of which were as large as ever remembered

Herne! the ground in a bitter state for walking than
for many dais past. Baker pursued his journey in
escellent spirits this day, and appears to he in better
health than at any time since he commenced his
undertaking. Baker having heard the reports in cir-
culation respecting Wilson's new undertaking, de-
clares he is ready to meet any man in Flngtanif Use
any number of miles, as soon as this task is corn-
: !sited, of which Baker appears confident of Ill'eCOM.•
plishiog even if he goes on '' his hands and knees."
I Mr. Newson, his surgeon, declares Baker's health
in a better stale, than at any time since his com-
tnenceinent.

Baker's last mile was accomplished hi rattier ender
eleven minutes. Truing is now entirely iu his
favour.

Mrs. A I.ROP has withdrawn herself from Covent.
garden Theatre, in consequence of her terms not
being accepted by the Proprietors, which, it is said,
were the same as those given to Miss 0'1%11.1--
This was sorely too much to pay, even for an excel-
lent copy of a matchless original.
A robber, who generally calls himself James Va-
keliste, hitched a • lone ran on the town, and yet
remains unpunished. He is dre.seil like a sailer,
and commits his robberies on the poorer class of
those housekeepers who let lodgings. On observing
a bill in the window, he enters the house, and bar.

lings per neck ; this he does in the morning, and
remains during the day. Before the evening arrives,
he has arquainted the landlord or the landlady with
Hs whole story, n hich, on all occasions, runs
the same, viz. That he is just returned from a long
voyage, and will settle with his Captain at Lloyd's

to the slip for his clothes, and enquires what it will
cost to bring them op from the Docks in a coach, but

lie occa,ionally alters the names of the Captain
and o,s tier, but never his own. Ills notes always
correspond with the time. It is unnecessary to say
he never returns to his lodgings. Hardly two di) s
pass hut some unfortunate poor woman enquires for
him at Lloyd's with rune of the pretended bills in her
hand, and it is supposed within the last two years,
for he has committed his robberies thus long, he has
obtained two hundred pounds by this modeof swind- .
line. On one occasion he was apprehended anti
tarried to the Police-office, Ilation.garden, and his
detention being made kunwn through the ptdrlin pa-
pers, 25 people ,attended, all of whom had been
robbed, as before described. of 20s. The Magistrates,
we understand, recommended them to prosecute, but
it turned out they were all so miserably poor, as not
to he able to afford it, and he was discharged accord-
ingly.
We hope, if this fellow comes before the l'o-
race again, the Magistrates will order him to be pro- .
neuter] at the csperace of the county.
Put:Hunt.— Dannelly and Cooper met this day,
and after a fight of 11 rounds, Donnelly was victo-
rious, leasing Cooper almost lifeless ou the ground.
