London, June 13.  An arch wag milk'd (as they call it) the
Duke of Cumberland, at Rochester, of five guineas, saying he
came from the bell ringers, who had rung all the morning. 
The Duke answered, he had not heard them; to which the
fellow replied, we can't ring now, as prayers are beginning;
soon as they are over we begin again.  Long before this he
knew the Duke would be gone.
