Of Cheese the suppfv was and it had n quick sile common dairies 50s. to 60s. j best dillo70s. to 80s. per cwt. There were about 45 pockets of Hops—prices from 9 lo 10 guineas. A curious instance of fraud was lately prac- tised on Mr. Hargreave, undertaker and sex- Ion of the parish church of Leeds. On Satur- day, the 4th inst. a person, apparently a ser- vant in husbandry, came to the house of Mr. Hargreave, and requested that he would scad by him a number of cloaks, hoods, scarfs, and towels, for Ihe funeral of a Mr. Richardson, at Rolhwell-nll which articles were sent without suspicion. The undertaker thinking this property had been detained rather too long, repaired to Rothwell in search of-is, when, to his surprize and mortification, he found that he had been egregiously imposed upon, and that no such family as that of'which lie wi.4 in search, could be traced in the village. Poetic Robbers.—Some time since a robbery of 21 geese was committed in ihefarn) yard of Mr. White, of Kent. There wss a gander at- tached to the (lock, which was left behind, with a bag tied round its neck, containing twenty.one pence, and- the following poetic excuse wrilfCIl ona slip of paper: — "near Master White, We wish you good night; We aie sorry that hence we must wander We have ta'en twenty one geese, At a penny a piece, And left the amount with the gander." A short time since, a man of the name of Walters, hired a horse and gig at Hereford lo go to Malvern, but drove off to Fairford, in Gloucestershire; where, under pretence of their being his own properly, he left them, after procuring from Mr. Miles, of the Bull Inn,an advance of money until his pretended return from Oxford, for which place he set off in a post chaise, in order to place at college the youth that accompanied him He was af- terwards heard of by a letter, bearing the post mark of Stratford-upon-Avon, which he had the audacity to send to the parties he duped at Hereford, mentioning where their property was left in consequence of which the gig and horse have been restored to them, on their defraying the expence of the keep of the horse. On the 10th ult. he (llveù off the same trick at Birmingham, by the"»pjiellatio« of ,1\11". G. Wilkiti.iun and on this occasion he left the horse and gig at. Ludlow. There are three vacancies in the Irish Re- presentative Pe,erKge, occasioived by the deaths of Lords Callan, Wicklow, and Glandore. By the decease of Lord Callan, without issue-male, the Barony of Callan has become extinct, be- ing the '(ixteenth Peerage <.f Ireland which has failed 5or want of male heirs since the Union, in Ja.nuary 1801, not including Peerage* which have become extinct in the superior titles, but in tile itiferior ones. This is at the rate of an extinct Peerage for every year since the Union. Since the creation of the Lords Casllemaine and Dactes, in tS12, four Peer- ages have become extinct, viz. Viscount Lou- gueviile, Karl of Belvedere, Viscount Howe, & Baron Callan. The vacancy made in the Peer- age by the three first, has not been filled up, in consequence of the successful claim of Mr. BarnevVall to the Viscounty of Ringsloud, which, according to articles of the Union, is to be considered as filling up the vacancy; his Majesty having it in his power to create a Peerage of Ireland only 011 the extinction of three Peerages, and not then, where a suppos- ed extinct title has been ciaimred-^established.
