LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS............Part IV BAZAAR AT APPLEBY. – On Friday week, a bazaar, for the sale of fancy and other articles, was held in the King’s Head Assembly Room, Appleby, in connection with the Methodist Free Church of that town. Recently a substantial neat, and modern chapel was erected on the site of the old ‘TABERNACLE”, and the object of the present Bazaar was to meet some outstandings of debt, and provide a new organ for accompanying the vocal services, the sum spoken of as required being about £200. We are glad to say that the expectations of the promoters were fully realized. The articles exhibited for sale were exceedingly attractive, whilst throughout the “stock-in-trade: there had been an evident design to give prominence to the useful as well as the ornamental. The stalls, of which there were six, were attended by a number of ladies connected with the church, whose “winning ways” never failed to effect sales. The following ladies were in attendance at the several stalls: No. 1 – MRS. GRAHAM and MRS. LUMSDEN; No. 2 – MRS. SALKELD; No. 3 – MRS. THOMPSON, MRS. STORY, and MISS NOBLE; No. 4 – MISS BOWLERWELL, MISS DRYDEN and MISS RICHARDSON; NO. 5 – MISS LONGSTAFF and MISS SLINGER; NO. 6 – MRS. and MISS WRIGHT. A toy stall was also presided over by MRS. WATSON, of Inverkip; and the refreshment stall, and the provision of tea in an adjoining room was conducted under the well-qualified superintendence of MRS. LESLIE. At intervals in the course of the proceedings, several young ladies, the pupils of MRS. and MISS WRIGHT, of the White House, played selections of music with great taste and skill on the pianoforte. The friends and well-wishers of the movement, both in the town and district, attended in good force, so much so that the Assembly Room was oftentimes crowded to inconvenience, and purchased very liberally, so that on Saturday night a large proportion of the goods were dispersed. As to the remainder, a supper was held on Monday evening, in the same place, when some further sales were effected. The result of the two days and Monday evening was very satisfactory, the total of £218 having been taken, so that it would appear that all the objects for which the Bazaar was instituted will be accomplished. _______________________________________________________________ barb, ontario, canada.

LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS.......Part III THE DERWENTWATER ESTATES have been sold by auction this week, at Newcastle. PARTIES ABOUT TO FURNISH are reminded that the large sale of first-class Household Furniture, &c., at Milburn, the property of G. WINDROSS, Esq., takes place next Wednesday, commencing at 12 o’clock prompt. A CONSTABULARY IN THE MOUNTAINS. – A child, named ROSS, has been stolen in Germantown, Philadelphia, and the authorities of the district have sent out descriptions and photographs of the little fellow to all parts of the world. Amongst others, letters have this week been received addressed to the heads of the police at the under-mentioned places: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Scawfell, Crossfell, Fairfield, Wastwater, Ennerdale Lake, Buttermere, Black Combs, Kidsty Pike, Crummock Water, and to all the other lakes and principal mountains in Cumberland and Westmorland ! LONGMARTON BAND OF HOPE ANNIVERSARY. – The Band of Hope having been in existence in this village twelve months on Thursday, Oct. 8th, it was resolved by the member to celebrate that day with festive honours. Fortunately the weather was most propitious for the occasion, the sun shining brightly and illuminating the busy scene with rays of smiling beauty. Long before two o’clock, the hour appointed for the assembly, numbers of young people attired in their holiday costume, and with light hearts and smiling faces, were seen wending their way towards the rendezvous of assembly, to join the ranks of the “Temperance Army”. Immediately after two o’clock, the ranks were formed the colours hoisted, and, headed by the Drum and Fife Band, a steady march was commenced to the enlivening strains of the martial music. Having paraded the village, the procession returned to the school, where all the members were regaled with tea and cake. The young people, after having done ample justice to the good things in the school, adjourned to a neighbouring field, where they indulged in several amusing physical exercises. At four o’clock, a public tea was served, and many partook of the refreshing, but non- inebriating, cup. The smiling faces, and quick graceful movements of those engaged in much serving, also considerably enhanced the pleasure of the treat. In the evening, at 6.30 o’clock, a public meeting was held in a barn, kindly lent for the purpose by the Rev. Canon HEELIS, when addresses were delivered by the Rev. J. HEELIS and the Rev. L.O. LEWIS,, to a numerous and attentive audience. The speeches were fraught with undeniable evidence in favour of the Temperance movement, and if King Alcohol needed any further advocacy to condemn his cause, it was supplied gratuitously by one of the audience, who aroused in many a most indignant spirit of rebellion against such a king, and a most persistent determination to do all in their power to dethrone him. At intervals, select pieces were played by the band, and hymns sung by the members. After votes of thanks had been presented to their late officer (Rev. L.O.LEWIS) for so kindly coming to review his old regiment, and to the Rev. J. HEELIS, the company dispersed, having thoroughly enjoyed the day’s pleasure. _______________________________________________________________ barb, ontario, canada.

Saturday 04 Sep 1819 (p. 3, col. 6) SHIPPING. HURRICANE.—"Whitehaven, Sept. 1. A tremendous storm from the Westward came on here yesterday morning about 5 o'clock, and has continued with little abatement till now, 8 o'clock, Wednesday night. The progress of the tempest was rapid—A vessel off the Isle of Man first felt it about three in the morning, it began here about five, and reached Wigton by seven. The damage amongst the shipping in this harbour and upon the contiguous coast is great. About seven o'clock, the Content, REED; Atlas, BLACK; Fortune, HIND, belonging to this port; the Two Brothers, schooner, belonging to Ramsey; and the Phœnix, sloop, of Newry, all run on shore at the foot of Lowther Street, and are lying in a perilous situation; yet, when the gale abates, it is expected that they may, possibly, be got off. At low water, about noon, the Content, BURNS, of this port, came on shore behind the north wall. The life-boat was immediately manned from the New Quay, and sent off to save the crew. On reaching the vessel, all hands, excepting the Captain and Mate, left her. The life-boat was again manned by a fresh crew, who attempted in vain to reach the vessel, and were obliged to give up the attempt. The Captain and Mate, seeing the imminent danger of their situation, sent a rope ashore by means of a ***t, when the boat once more reached the vessel: the Mate immediately descended on board by the rope, but the Captain was still determined not to quit his ship, great as was the peril. After the lapse of some time, the life-boat was manned the fourth time, and sent off for Captain BURNS, and after much patience and difficulty he was taken from the wreck, under a hearty cheer by the crew, which was instantly replied to by the multitude assembled upon the shore,—in a few minutes all landed in safety.—This great exertion had scarcely ended, when another vessel hove in sight, and seemed destined to experience the same fate. She was soon known to be the Thistle, Captain ADAMSON, also of Whitehaven. The crew appeared to be using all possible exertion to keep her off the shore; but a short time showed that their endeavours would prove ineffectual, as she neared very fast: and at length her head was pointed directly on shore towards the beach behind the north wall, where, in a few minutes, she struck. The life-boat was again immediately prepared to bring off the crew, who knowing the difficulty of rowing the boat to the windward, sent off from the vessel a buoy and line, which was brought ashore by some men who spiritedly swam off amongst the surf. In a few moments the boat reached the vessel by this line, and the cheering of the crew told those on shore that all was right, and the whole soon stood on terra-firma. Thus the life-boat was the means of saving the crews of two vessels, who otherwise would inevitably have perished. The ships continued to beat heavily during the after noon. About 6 o'clock, the Thistle began to break up, and in a few minutes she was a complete wreck. The Content remained for an hour longer, when she also broke up; and this morning there is nothing to be seen of either vessel, but a heap of broken boards, spars, and cordage. Not a coal of the size of a walnut is to be found upon the beach, although both vessels left the port the evening before the wreck, only, laden with that article. About 8 o'clock at night, the Integrity, of Workington, timber-laden, from America, came to the entrance of this harbour, where she struck the north wall, carrying away part of the parapet. She now lies sunk within the entrance. At low water this day, they were employed in discharging timber from off her deck: and should the gale abate, she may be got off with but little damage. We hear that a vessel is on shore about three miles south of this port; and that at Ravenglass, two others, one of them the Tartar, of Maryport, are in a similar dilemma." What is most extraordinary, an open fishing boat, of only about 3 tons burthen, arrived in the evening from off Donaghadee, with four people on board, in perfect safety. Extract of a letter to a Gentleman of Carlisle, dated Girvine, Scotland, Wednesday, September 1.—"There has been the most dreadful gale of wind, and storm, ever experienced upon this coast, at the present season of the year: it commenced on Monday afternoon, and has continued without intermission to the present time. In coming this morning from Ballantrae, the first vessel we saw was a lime-sloop on fire; a little further on lay a new schooner among the rocks, glass-laden, parted in two, and she soon went to pieces. A mile further on, is the Britannia, of Carlisle (which sailed on Wednesday week), lying in a narrow bay, called Sandhouse Bay, half way between Ballantrae and Girvine. She has lost part of her foremast and sails, and got into the bay with great difficulty, it being a very narrow inlet. Had it been night, the vessel must have been lost, as the entrance does not appear to be above 20 yards wide, and no other place of shelter is to be found within many miles. She is not essentially damaged, and it is expected that her cargo has not sustained any injury of consequence." A letter from Liverpool, also received in Carlisle, mentions that the Supply, of Whitehaven, is on shore near that place, much damaged. Many other vessels are stranded and damaged, particulars not yet known. The Saint George, FERGUSON, sailed from Maryport, on the 29th ult. with a cargo of merchant goods worth upwards of £3000—merchants, TICKLE, SELBY, & Co. Arrived at Greenock, the Highlander, DONALD, from St. John's, N. B. sailed thence 26th July.

Saturday 04 Sep 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2) HOME NEWS. Mr. Baron WOOD and Mr. Justice BAYLEY, left Carlisle on Saturday, for Lowther Castle, where, with the greater part of the counsel, they dined with the Lord Lieutenant, as usual. In the evening, their Lordships proceeded to Appleby and opened the Commission. We this week present our readers with eight closely-printed columns of Cumberland assize intelligence, as well as the most part of the trials which came on at Appleby; the remainder shall appear in our next. >From Saturday night last, up to Thursday, we have had in this part of the country almost continued storm of wind and rain, accompanied with piercing cold. Tuesday was particularly stormy; and it will be seen by our ship news that much damage was sustained at Whitehaven on that day. The harvest has met with a partial interruption; but on the other hand, the potatoes, turnips, and grass lands will be much benefited. The accounts from all parts of the kingdom speak with much fervour of the abundance and excellent condition of the crops. In many districts (the manufacturing particularly where one would think men in need of work were plentiful enough) a great want of harvest-workers has been and continues to be felt, this is both extraordinary and disgraceful. Shearer's wages, in Carlisle, are from 3s. to 3s. 6d. per day, without meat. On Tuesday the 31st ult., the Rev. R. HUNTER was ordained to the pastoral care of the Associate Presbyterian Congregation assembling in Fisher-street, Carlisle. The Rev. W. DUNLOP, according to the forms of the Church of Scotland, began the service with praise, reading the scriptures, and prayer. The Rev. J. LAW then delivered a discourse, suitable to the occasion, from Gal. 1 & 19. The Rev. A. LAWSON put to Mr. HUNTER the questions of the formular. Mr. LAW offered up the ordination prayer. The Rev. Dr. THOMSON delivered the charge to the minister, and the Rev. Mr. DUNLOP gave the charge to the people, and then concluded the service of the day. Though the morning was unfavourable, the Chapel was crowded, and the solemn and interesting exercises in which they were engaged seemed to make a deep impression on all the spectators. On Tuesday evening last, an attempt was made to break into the house of Mr. BAKER, sign of the Woolpack, in this city. About 10 o'clock, Mr. B. happening accidentally to be near a front window, heard some persons stop in the street, and one say to another, "we mean to rob this house tonight;" another remarked "that there would certainly be lives lost;" and a third said, "that only two soldiers were quartered there; and the first man who should resist he would stick a knife in his face." It was at length agreed amongst them, that they should return at midnight, and after their entrance, two were to stand at the door, whilst the others ransacked the house, who were not to forget “the rum and brandy bottles." Mr. BAKER sat up on the watch. At the appointed hour they came: one of them then made several trials to enter the cellar by a light-hole, but finding this impossible, he desisted. They all then went to the yard gates, and made many ineffectual efforts to burst them open, and throw them off their hinges. During these proceedings, Mr. B. awoke the soldiers before alluded to, and after arming themselves, they threw up a window, when the rascals fled with precipitation, and the meditated robbery was prevented. On Wednesday night last, one of the rooms of Denton Mill, wherein stood a desk containing £20, was entered through a window. The depredators had made great efforts to force the lock of the desk, but not accomplishing this, they made off without doing much injury. It not being customary to keep money in this room, it is supposed that some persons acquainted with the circumstance have made this attempt. Towards the latter end of last week, a sprightly tailor, of this city, being "inflamed by love and inspired by liquor," ventured upon a matrimonial trip to the far-famed Gretna Green, where he and the fair object of his choice were, by the established joiner of the place, "bound in wedlock's sympathetic bond." After their return to Carlisle, they, with a few select friends, set off for the Golden Apple-Tree public-house, just a mile from our market-cross, where, having celebrated the happy event by too copious libations to Bacchus, they were under the necessity of being bedded. In the morning, whether impelled by curiosity, or by another motive not quite so excusable, the new-married fair one was tempted to break open a desk, which stood in their bed-room, wherein £30 were deposited. So large a sum was to her an unusual sight; and thinking it "great pity," no doubt, to enter on the world bare-handed, when so excellent an opportunity presented itself of placing them beyond "penury's stern grasp," she resolved upon seizing the prize, which she accordingly did, and, after liberally rewarding the landlord out it for his kindness and accommodation, decamped. As soon as the money was missed, a pursuit was commenced, and the new made husband, notwithstanding his very recent love engagement, was captivated a second time—by the constable! When before a Magistrate he delivered "a round unvarnished” account of the whole affair, and so far succeeded in establishing his innocence as to get liberated. His accused associate as yet remains undetected. We are sorry to state that Capt. H. BENN, of the Britannia, belonging to Workington, was drowned on his passage from Miramichi to Harrington. A seizure of a Whisky Still was made on Thursday last, at Ormside, near Appleby. About 50 gallons of spirits were taken, and a very large quantity in a state of preparation. Distressing Accident.—On the afternoon of Tuesday, a boy named PARTON, about 11, residing at Chirnbeddie [?], whilst amusing himself with a double pike hook, unfortunately swallowed it. The barbs of the hook fastened so far down the throat that no instrument could be applied to unfix them. In this state of torture the boy was brought to Perth with the end of the brass snood chain hanging out of his mouth, but nothing effectual could be done for him. Immediately a number of people very humanely opened a subscription for him, and he was sent off for the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. The physicians and surgeons, after holding a consultation on Saturday and Monday, resolved to perform an operation on Wednesday, in this distressing case, but which has been delayed. On the 27 ult. the foundation-stone of a bridge on the new line of road betwixt Glasgow and Carlisle, near Lesmahagow, was laid by Daniel VERE, Esq. of Stone-Byres, Provincial Grand Master of the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire.

Saturday 04 Sep 1819 (p. 1, col. 5-6 and p. 4, col. 1-6) CARLISLE ASSIZES, 1819. BEFORE MR. JUSTICE BAYLEY. [continued] MOORE v. NIXON.—In this cause a verdict was given for the plaintiff, £6 11s. We stated, in our last, that this sum was "the result of an arbitration. An attempt was made by the defendant to do away with this arbitration, on the ground that one of the arbitrators had not consented; and also to prove that five pounds had been paid. It was the opinion of Mr. Justice BAYLEY, that this endeavour completely failed. The Jury were of the same mind." A Correspondent informs us that we were incorrect as it respects the opinion of the judge. He says—"The Judge, in his summing up, expressed no conviction of the defendant having failed in making out what he contended for. On the contrary, the bias of his mind seemed to be, that the £5 mentioned by the witnesses, and proved by one them to have been paid, should be deducted from the £6 11s., and that a verdict should be given for the balance. But he distinctly told the Jury that there were two questions to try: 1, Whether there was an award, which one of the arbitrators swore there was, and the other that there was not, leaving the point doubtful. 2, Whether the money claimed had not been paid: and certainly the defendant proved the payment of £5, part of the £6 11s.—the rest was for stones which the deceased MOORE had given up all claim to in NIXON's favour."—We have mislaid our notes, and therefore cannot refer to them. We dare say that our correspondent is correct. The verdict, however, as we stated, was given for the plaintiff, for the whole sum demanded, £6 11s. P. HODGSON v. BARWISE.—We stated, last week, that a juror was withdrawn in this cause, (relating the amount of Steward's Fees in Holm Cultram,) and that the question is set at rest. We have now the words of the decision as agreed to and signed by the respective leading counsel, Mr. RAINE and Mr. SCARLETT:—"By consent, a Juror to be withdrawn, the plaintiff undertaking to bring no action against the defendants or any other tenant for fees; and to accept the old fees, which they undertake to pay him.—(Signed) J. R.—J. S."
