Saturday 27 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2) We are happy to learn, that it is intended to send down to the four Northern Counties this Spring, a Sergeant-at-Law, with a Commission for a general gaol delivery, but no Civil Cases will be tried: and previous to the following Lent, such arrangements will be completed as will confer the benefit of regular Assizes twice a year on the Northern Counties, in common with the other Circuits. The means of accommodation afforded by our gaol, render a quick delivery especially desirable. Measures are in train for the erection of a new Church in Caldewgate. On Wednesday morning, we had a considerable fall of snow in this neighbourhood, the first of any consequence for the winter. We are sorry to state, that several of the Cotton Manufacturers of this City, have been obliged, by the paucity of demand in the market, to discharge a number of their weavers, and to abridge the labour of those whom they retain in employment. We hope that the cause of this painful, but, on the part of the manufacturers, necessary procedure, will meet with a speedy removal. On the night of yesterday week, a sheep, killed and dressed, was stolen from the Butcher Market, in this City, the property of Mr. ROBINSON: it had been placed there to be in readiness for the market on the following morning. The typhus fever prevails at Whitehaven very much at this time, particularly among the lower class of people; the cases of many families are truly distressing. It is surprising that a House of Recovery is not adopted in that town: great benefit would result from it. There are now 40 students at St. Bees School, under the tuition of the Rev. Mr. AINGER. The inhabitants of the village say, that they derive considerable benefit from their presence, and that their conduct is of the most exemplary nature, reflecting no less credit on their worthy teacher than on themselves. On Sunday morning last, the tan-yard of Messrs. Charles NORMAN, & Co., of Parton, near Whitehaven, was broken into, and a quantity of Morrocco skins were taken away. It is supposed that this depredation was committed by a strange man and woman, as there was a white stocking left near the place, and two such persons were at the Black Cock public house that morning, the man having only one stocking on, which was white: they proceeded on the road leading to Kendal. On the 14th inst., at Keswick, as two boys about 10 years of age were on their return from watering two of Mr. John GRAVE's horses, a boy standing on the battlement of the bridge struck the foremost horse, which had the effect of frightening the hindmost animal, and occasioning its falling over the ledging of the bridge upon the sand below, a height of ten feet: the horse was much hurt, and died in half an hour, but the boy miraculously escaped unhurt. Yesterday week, Mr. Thomas ELLIS, a young man, (son of the late Mr. ELLIS, tide-surveyor) was drowned at Whitehaven: he had been fishing on the New Quay. A robbery and burglary were committed in Kendal last week.Sarah THOMPSON, who resides in French Lane, returned by the coach from Whitehaven, near which place she had been to receive a legacy of £270. On her arrival in Kendal, she called at the house of a neighbour, who, considering the impropriety of so large a sum of money remaining in the possession of a solitary female, strongly pressed her to remain at his house all night: she, however, refused to accept the invitation, and went home about 12 o'clock. About four in the morning she was alarmed by two men who entered her room: one of them immediately seized and covered her with the bed clothes, to prevent her making an alarm, whilst the other searched every part of the house, and was fortunate enough to discover the treasure which had only experienced a slight diminution by travelling expences. The entrance had been effected by means of a key. A man of the name of William SHERWOOD has been lodged in Appleby gaol, charged with uttering counterfeit coin. Some doubts, we understand, are entertained of the propriety of committing the prisoner for trial, owing to the prosecutors having subsequently restored the counterfeit shilling in exchange for a good one. M'VEY, the servant who robbed Mr. PARKINS, has been again put to the bar at the Old Bailey, and is capitally convicted. As John SMITH and John WORKMAN were lately draining upon Shap Beck Tenement, near Thrimby, they discovered two human skeletons, about two feet below the surface of the earth. SMITH found one about two years ago near the same place. Extraordinary Pig.Last week, was slaughtered at Kirkby Lonsdale, a Shropshire pig, fed by Mr. John LODGE, tallow-chandler, of extraordinary weight and dimensions. It measured in length from the snout to the root of the tail seven feet; its girth was seven feet eight inches; its weight including the reidings, 65st. 5lbs. (14lbs. to the stone); and was sold for £23. York.A short time ago, a coroner's jury was summoned to sit on the body of a boy, who had fallen from a scaffolding in Selby, and was reported to have died of his wounds. In order that the cause of the lad's death might be clearly ascertained, a surgeon was dispatched to examine the body, who, on his return to the coroner, reported, that either from the galvanic process, or from some other cause, the deceased was, at the time he entered the room, performing the operation of eating a lunch of bread and butter! In plain English, that he was already convalescent, and would soon be in as good health as any member of the jury. We are sorry to state, that so great is the mortality at present in this town, from the prevailing fever, and other causes, that no less than 70 funerals have taken place since the commencement of the present yeara number truly alarming and unprecedented.Dumfries Journal. On the evening of Wednesday se'nnight while Mr. WALLACE farmer at Howliggate, was on his way home from Dumfries, where he had been attending the fair, he was attacked by three men, a little beyond Casseylands toll bar, one of whom presented a pistol at him, while the other two seized and robbed him of £11. Last week, a couple presented themselves to be married at Leeds Parish Church; but as the ring was about to be placed upon the finger of the bride, a young woman rushed into the church and claimed the bridegroom as her husband. She said they had been married four years back at that very altar, and searching the register the names were found. The man and his disappointed companion were admonished and dismissed.

Saturday 20 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 6) SHIPPING. At this time, there are no less than ten new vessels upon the stocks at Whitehaven, designed for the East and West India and the coasting trade, which will register from 80 to upwards of 600 tons. There is also a new shallop nearly ready for launching, intended to be sent out to Jamaica. The Comet, Leith smack, Captain T. MARSHALL, sailed from Leith on Friday week, at half-past five o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at Miller's Wharf, London, on Sunday, at two o'clock, having performed her voyage, of about 600 miles, in less than 45 hours. Sunday last, was launched from the building yard of Messrs. W. WALLACE & Co. at Workington, a handsome new copper-bottomed brig, called the Willow Black [?]. It blew a strong gale from the S. S. W. at Whitehaven on Tuesday. About 12 o'clock, the sloop A**** of and from Ulverston, bound to Duddon, with timber, came to the mouth of the harbour, having carried away her bowsprit and topmast, and having only the master and a boy on board. The brave seamen of the port seeing her perilous situation, went off to her assistance, and soon brought here safely into the harbour. It is extremely indiscreet to attempt a voyage at this season of the year with such small strength on board. On Thursday, the Brothers, MUIRHEAD, from Donaghadee, arrived at Whitehaven with a cargo of bullocks, destined for the Carlisle market. The master stated that six more vessels with cattle from the same place might be expected next tide. The Alice, of Poulton, from Lancaster, with timber, bound to Liverpool, put into Whitehaven on Monday last, with loss of bowsprit and topmast. The Mayflower, THOMPSON, of Harrington, is arrived at Dublin from St. John's, N. B. After she brought up in the river, two men fell from the fore yard-one into the water and sustained no injury-the other upon the deck, and was much hurt. Singular Cargo.-The Industry, M'CLELLAN, arrived at Whitehaven, on Wednesday, from Garliestown, having on board upwards of 40 tons of turnips, grown upon the lands near Gallowayhouse. A cargo of this kind was never before known to enter the port of Whitehaven. The Doris, WHITE, of Whitehaven, is arrived at Liverpool from the Brazils, after a passage of 40 days-all well. The Volunteer, BARWISE, of Whitehaven, is arrived at Jamaica, all well, after a passage of six weeks.

The following are the singular and heart-rending circumstances which have given rise to this Publication. Mr. CLENNELL, the Painter, is a native of Morpeth, in the County of Northumberland, and was originally pupil to Mr. BEWICK, of Newsastle [sic]. Specimens of his talents, as an Engraver on Wood, will be found in some of the most elegant publications of the day. The beautiful illustrations of ROGERS's Pleasures of Memory, from the design of STOTHARD; and the Diploma of the Highland Society, from a drawing by the venerable President of the Royal Academy, (the largest Wood Engraving of the age,) are both the productions of his hand. But his genius did not stop here. He had not been long in London before he was known to the Public as a Painter, and one too of no ordinary character. Possessing an active and ardent mind, he saw and estimated the advantages held out by the British Institutionhe became one of its most assiduous students, and soon distinguished himself in its annual exhibitions. His rapid progress was marked by the admirers and lovers of art; and the Patrons of the Institution, ever ready foster and encourage excellence early and munificently rewarded his exertions. In the midst of this career of success, at the moment of completing a picture for the Earl of Bridgewater, representing the Fête given by the City of London to the assembled Sovereignsa picture which had cost him unheard-of labour, and which he had executed in a way to command the admiration of all who saw it, even in its unfinished and imperfect statehe was afflicted with the most dreadful of all maladiesthe loss of reason! He has been now for nearly two years separated from his family and from society. This is but half the melancholy tale:His Wife, fondly attached to him, attending him day and night, fluctuating perpetually between the hope which the glimmerings of returning reason held out, and the almost despair which followed on his again sinking into confirmed lunacyat the moment too when she seemed to her friends to have overcome the severity of the trial, and was preparing to enter on some business, by which she might support her children, deprived of their father's aidbecame herself the subject of the same malady, which being accompanied with fever, soon terminated in her death. The death of a young Mother of a young family, is always a most afflicting event. In the present instance the visitation is singularly aggravated by the distressing situation of the Father, whose disorder becomes every day more decided, and whose recovery is now placed almost beyond hope. It is to provide for three young children, the eldest only eight years of age, that this Publication is undertaken; and though the Committee who conduct it cannot but hope that the melancholy circumstances in which these little creatures are left, will not fail to excite the commiseration of the Public; yet their main reliance is on the excellence of the Publication as a Work of Art. The picture selected is a spirited and splendid composition, illustrative of a great National Event; which, while it added much to the military glory of the country, is still more endeared to all our memories by its having given peace to a conflicting world. The reward conferred on this Picture by the British Institution must be considered as especially sanctioning the selection of the Committee; and the well-known talents of the Engraver are the best guarantee that can be offered to the Public for the excellence of the whole.

The case of a person's surviving such a loss for 60 years is believed to be unprecedented. He travelled generally on an ass, and appearing in an old uniform, attracted considerable attention. On the 4th inst., at Cheetwood, Lancashire, James Banks ROBINSON, late of the royal navy, in his 71st year. He was 50 years in his Majesty's service, and fought in twelve general engagements, among which were those of the Nile and Trafalgar, when he acted as pilot to the fleet.

Saturday 20 Feb 1819 (p. 2, col. 6 - p. 3, col. 1) NEW SHERIFFS.-Cumberland, Thomas SALKELD, of Carlisle, Esq.-Northumberland, William ORDE, of Nunny Kirk, Esq.-Yorkshire, Wm. WRIGHTSON, of Cusworth, Esq.-Cheshire, John SMITH BARRY, of Marbury, Esq. We learn that a thorough-bred Horse, of amazingly large bone, has arrived here to cover this season. This, we hope, will be the means of improving the breed of horses in this county, which has very much deteriorated of late years. We have already alluded to the case of the ingenious but most unfortunate artist, Mr. LUKE CLENNELL, a native of a neighbouring county. It will be seen by an advertisement in our front page, that an Engraving, from an admirable production of his pencil, will be published in the course of the present year, for the benefit of his young and destitute family. Appended to this advertisement, is an unvarnished relation of the afflictions which have overtaken this deserving man, and their melancholy consequences.-Peruse it reader; and we feel assured that, if you have the means, you will be ready to lend a helping hand in the relief of so much innocent suffering. A sparrow's nest with eggs in it, was found last week in a hedge in Shaddongate, near this City. Yesterday, Thomas SALKELD, Esq. the new Sheriff, entered upon the duties of his office, and the prisoners in the gaol, 80 in number, were turned over from the custody of Milham HARTLEY, Esq. to that of Colonel SALKELD. Mr. GRAVE, of Penrith, is appointed Undersheriff. The times and places of holding the County Courts during the ensuing year, are announced in an advertisement. The prisoners in the gaol, return their grateful thanks to Milham HARTLEY, Esq. and Thomas SALKELD, Esq. the late and present Sheriffs, for a donation of four guineas. On Monday, several of the women paupers resident in St. Mary's Workhouse, were brought before the Mayor, on suspicion of having stolen various articles of wearing apparel the property of other inmates of the house, as well as potatoes, &c. belonging to the parish stores. A woman named GILL was thought to be the chief offender; but she repelled the imputation of guilt with great warmth, made the strongest expressions of her honesty, and offered to take an oath that she was perfectly innocent of the present charge. On being searched, however, several duplicates were found in her housewife, by which it appeared that she had both stolen and pawned the missing wearing apparel. As it was now useless to deny the theft, she characterized it as "a misfortune that will sometimes happen;" but as to stealing potatoes from the workhouse stores-oh, no! she could not be guilty of such a thing as that; no, indeed she could not! Her professions, however, stood her in little stead; her pockets were examined, and they contained five of the largest potatoes she could pick out, several pounds in weight, which, of course, she intended to carry off to some place where she had the means of selling them. She was committed. A number of gentlemen wishing to testify their sense of the conduct of J. C. SATTERTHWAITE, Esq. as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions of this County, entered into a subscription immediately after his resignation, for the purpose of purchasing a piece of plate. It was the intention of the gentlemen who undertook to carry the wishes of the subscribers into effect, to have presented this tribute of esteem at Cockermouth in the week of the Epiphany Sessions; but in consequence of a severe domestic calamity which has lately befallen Mr. SATTERTHWAITE, that determination was laid aside, and the presentation was deferred till yesterday week, when it took place at the Globe Inn, Cockermouth. A considerable number of gentlemen assembled on the occasion, and Mr. BLAKENEY presented the token of regard in a neat speech. Mr. SATTERTHWAITE, in accepting the piece of plate, spoke as follows:- "Gentlemen,-The honour you have done to me this day calls forth my warmest acknowledgments. During the period in which I acted as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions in this county, I discharged the duties attached to my situation, to the best of my abilities; and if my conduct was found advantageous to the county, I needed no other reward. But, Gentlemen, you have thought proper to give me proof of your approbation, which I accept with gratitude; and I doubt not that those who succeed me in the important situation I held, will merit the confidence of the county; and that its prosperity may be favoured by the wisdom of the Magistracy is the hope and wish of my heart." This mark of approbation is a beautiful specimen of art, and reflects much credit on the taste of Mr. FISHER, of Cockspur-street, London, (a native of Cumberland) who supplied it.-It is a massive embossed Cup, executed in dead, or white, and burnished silver, richly gilt in the inside; the handles, cover, and borders, in rich arabesque ornaments. On the top a figure of Justice, of exquisite workmanship; her eyes bandaged, holding the scales in her right hand, and the sword in her left: the elbow of her left arm resting upon a pile of books, and these again on a rock. On one side of the Cup a coat of arms, and on the other the following inscription, engraved in a variety of characters:- "Impressed with a just regard for the distinguished services rendered by JAMES CLARKE SATTERTHWAITE, Esquire, *to the County of Cumberland, for nearly thirty years, as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions,* some of the individuals, who have witnessed and admired the quickness of his perception, the soundness of his judgment, the impartiality his conduct, and the indefatigable application of his *time and talents to the discharge of his public duties,* most respectfully request his *acceptance of this Cup,* as a memorial of their esteem. Blessed with health to an extended period of life, he devoted the most unremitting exertions to the business of the *County,* and continued (when retirement would have been sought for by others) to discharge the various and arduous duties of *Presiding Magistrate at the Quarter Sessions* of an *extensive and populous* County, until he resigned that *important station,* A. D. 1818." The words here distinguished by *italics*, are in the engraving displayed in a rich variety of the most elegantly-formed characters.-Wm. FELL, Esq. (the foreman of the Grand Jury at the last Epiphany Sessions) took an opportunity, in the course of the afternoon, of presenting to Mr. SATTERTHWAITE a complimentary letter, signed by most of the Grand Jury, expressive of their approbation of the late Chairman's conduct, and the obligations which the Grand Juries at the Quarter Sessions had been under for his advice and assistance. The Lark is now commonly heard carolling his morning song in this neighbourhood. We have hitherto seen very little of winter. It is stated that it is in contemplation to erect a bridge, by subscription, over the river Eden, at Oxen-Stand, between Morland and Templesowerby. On Monday night, the Jane & Mary's steerage was entered at Whitehaven, and most of the crew's clothes were carried off. The thieves broke open the seamen's chests.

Saturday 13 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 5) SCOTCH NEWSFEB. 12. On Saturday last, Mr. Robert MASTERTON, surgeon in Annan, while on a visit to his friends at Woodhouse Kirkpatrick Fleming, observing a hare sitting in a field near where he was passing, immediately ran to the nearest house, and borrowed a gun for the purpose of shooting it. The piece, however, must either have been very foul or greatly overcharged, as on being fired, it burst about a foot from the breech, and so dreadfully lacerated the young gentleman's left hand as to render amputation instantly necessary midway between the wrist and the elbow. In a Court of Commissioners of Supply held at Annan, on Monday last, the following persons were convicted of searching for and killing Game without having the legal certificate, and besides the full expenses of prosecution, were fined as follows, viz.:George IRVING, of Supplebank, £3 : 13 : 6; John BEATTIE, of Braes, £3 : 13 : 6, and James GRAHAM, of Alderbeck, £3 : 13 : 6; and in case of non-payment, warrants of distress were ordered to be immediately issued. A dish of New Potatoes was, on Tuesday last, served up at the tables of Baillie BENSON, Dr. IRVING, Capt. IRVING, and Rector DALGLIESH, at Annan, a present from Major CLIFFE, which grew in the open air, in the Major's garden at Violetbank; they were raised from seed planted last harvest, and were considered by all who saw them, both for size and quality, a matchless proof of the mildness and salubrity of this very remarkable season, and, indeed, the earliest and most perfect natural production of that invaluable article ever recorded in this part of the country. Last week, some fields in the neighbourhood of Dumfries, consisting of about seven acres, were sold for £700 sterling. Yesterday week, the body of Mr. William BROWN, many years a clerk in Dumfries, and who has been missing for some weeks past, was discovered in the river near the Castledykes. The Lark was heard on Monday morning, in the neighbourhood of Dumfries. Tuesday, came on before the High Court of Justiciary the trial of James MARTIN, or MARTEN, accused of three different acts of theft committed in the counties of Dumfries and Roxburgh in the course of the month of October last, and also of being by habit and repute a thief, and under sentence of banishment from the realm. The pannel pleaded guilty to the charges against him before the Court and Jury, and was sentenced to be transported beyond seas for life.

The late Earl was one of the sixteen Peers of Parliament for Scotland. Her titles descend to her eldest son, now in the twelfth year of his age. A few days ago, in his 85th year, Mr. HURREL, farmer and maltster, residing at Upper Yeldham Hall, Essex. He ordered in his will that his body should be buried in one of his woods; be covered with one of the hair cloths he used to dry his malt on; and that six hedgers and ditchers should carry his corpse, six others be pall bearers, and six more to follow as mourners, all with their bills and hedging-gloves; and likewise ordered a hogshead of beer to be drunk, and bread and cheese to be distributed; and each of the bearers, and mourners, and those who carried the corpse, to receive a pound note; which request was literally complied with.

Saturday 13 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 2-3) A Correspondent informs us, that the account of the proceedings before the Coroner at Whitehaven, on the inquest taken upon Miss Jane FARISH, was incorrectly given in our paper of the 30th ultimo. He assures us that the relations of the deceased did not represent her as a stranger, and John HODGSON, of Whitehaven, cart wright, one of the men who found the body, was actually summoned, attended, and was examined before the Jury. Coursing.-A match, which had excited considerable interest in the sporting world, was decided on Tuesday last, on the estate of Sir James GRAHAM, Bart., at Mossband, in the presence a number of sportsmen, notwithstanding the extreme wetness of the day, between Mr. R. NORMAN's famous bitch Lemon, and Mr. RAE's bitch Whip, the former beating her adversary two courses out of three. Lemon is considered a very valuable animal, possessing wonderful speed and bottom, and, we understand, may be matched against any dog for a very large sum. Several more matches of importance were decided in favour of Cumberland. On Saturday evening last, Joseph PATTEN, an inmate of St. Cuthbert's Workhouse and a cripple who moves about with difficulty on crutches, asked leave of the Housekeeper to come down to Carlisle, adding, that as he had particular business to detain him till eleven o'clock, he begged to have the outer gate left open for him. The housekeeper would not consent to the latter part of the request, but told PATTEN he had better remain all night if he wanted to stay late; this he agreed to and went. About half-past ten, as a man-servant belonging to Mr. SCOTT, of Botcherby, was going through the Broad Meadows on his way home from Carlisle, he met PATTEN hobbling along with two dead fowls in his possession. The man questioned him, and not receiving a satisfactory answer, took away the fowls and carried them home. On examination, they proved to be his master's property -and PATTEN was immediately pursued, overtaken, and placed in safe custody: on Monday he was committed for trial. It appears that the fowls roosted far out of the reach of the depredator, but he supplied his inability to climb after them by an ingenious device. He touched the breasts of the fowls with the top or shoulder part of his crutch, and they immediately stepped forward upon it, when he gradually lowered and secured them. On Sunday morning last, a notorious poacher was detected in the grounds near Lowther Castle, taking pheasants. In attempting to escape, he was fired at by the game-keeper, and the contents of the gun lodged in his thighs, &c. This same poacher met with a similar fate sometime ago, when trespassing upon another manor, but, it seems, the warning, strong as it was, failed in making a due impression upon his memory. On Tuesday night last, there was a grand Concert at the Theatre, Whitehaven, performed by the Gentlemen of the Harmonic Society, for the benefit of Mr. ORRE, musician: it was well attended. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-On Wednesday se'nnight, the following dreadful catastrophe took place at Holehouse near Fishburn, Durham. A young man named PEARSON, returning from a crow-shooting excursion, gave his gun to his sister, with directions to put it by. In the act of getting upon a chair to hang it up, the trigger by some means was drawn, and the contents of the piece passed through the heart of her mother, who instantly expired.-Coroner's Verdict, accidental death. Daring Attempt at Burglary.-On the evening of Tuesday se'nnight, a most daring attempt at burglary took place at Mill Yeat, in the parish of Arlecdon, about three miles from Whitehaven. The villians [sic], supposed to be three or four in number, first attempted to force the door; but it being very strong, and locked and double-bolted, the attempt was ineffectual; yet the violence used was such as to alarm the family, consisting of an old woman 81 years of age, her granddaughter's husband, and children. The assailants then pulled down an old window at the back part of the house, and attempted to enter there; but the courageous old dame, having armed herself with a sword (which had formerly been wielded by her husband in the service of his country), and aided by her grandson, who availed himself of such weapons as chance afforded, so gallantly defended the breach that not one of them chose to put his life in jeopardy by entering first. Foiled there likewise, they finally got upon the thatched roof, and attempted to enter there by unroofing the premises; but one of them being wounded by an home thrust through the thatch, they were obliged to decamp, after a vain attempt of upwards of two hours.-It was perceived that the man, who first attempted to enter, had his face blackened, and it is supposed the villains expected to find a sum of money, the old lady having sold the house and a few acres of land adjoining, a few weeks since. In our last paper, we mentioned the wreck of the Lord Hill, Isle of Man smack, and the melancholy fate of the whole of the passsengers [sic] and crew. Among the passengers were-Major Paul CREBBIN, of the Royal Marines, and his servant; Mrs. CLUCAS, of Douglas, widow of the late Mr. T. CLUCAS, druggist, and her young son; Mr. John M'BRIDE, spirit merchant, of Douglas; Mr. CUNNINGHAM [Wm. CUNINGHAME in other papers], shopkeeper, of do.; Miss Jane ROBINSON, aged 17, of do; Daniel KNEALE, joiner, of do.; Mr. B. MILBURN, of Laxey; Mr. William FARRANT, of Peel; Messrs. John WALKER and S. TEARE [Sylvester TEARE in other papers], of Kirk German; Mr. R. CATS [Robert OATS or OATES in other papers], of Kirk St. Ann; Edward ROBERTS, a country lad; Jas. ROBINSON [ROBINS in other papers], a native of England; Mr. JONES and Mr. T. COMBERTH [Thomas CORNBERTH in other papers], flannel dealers, of Newtown, North Wales; a son and daughter of W. KNEALE, of Kirk Lonan, aged about 15 or 16; Mr. MERCER, owner of a sloop lately wrecked at Derby-haven, two seamen belonging to her, and two ship-carpenters who had gone to the island to repair her;-and the crew consisted of Mr. Richard THOMAS, the master; Daniel WATERSON, mate: and Robt. ROBERTS, Griffith WILLIAMS, and Robt. HOLMES, seamen.-Upwards of thirty children are rendered orphans by this deplorable catastrophe.

Saturday 06 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 6) SHIPPING. Saturday last, was launched from the building-yard of Mr. Michael FALCON, of Workington, a handsome new vessel of 185 tons register, called the Crosthwaite; built for Capt. WILSON, of Maryport. On Thursday, as the sloop Budget, of Whitehaven, was on her passage to Dublin, she had a man washed overboard, a native of the Isle of Man. The Jason, WHITE, arrived at Whitehaven on Tuesday, from Greenock, to refit. She sailed from Whitehaven sometime since, bound to Jamaica. When about 30 miles north west of Torre, she was struck by a heavy sea, which carried away both boats, the fore and main yards, the bulwarks, stanchions, and almost everything on deck: she was subsequently put into Lochindal. The young man who was lost along with the carpenter, as before mentioned in this paper, was a son of the late Fearon ROBINSON of the Eleanor, of Whitehaven, and a very promising youth. The Jason left Lochindal on Sunday last, and gives the following account:-The St. Lawrence, of Leith, is lost at Illa, and all hands with her. Five of the crew were found last week and buried.-An East Indiaman is lost at Cantire, with all her crew; they saw several dead bodies floating in the North Channel: but the Mary, DUNBAR, (Greenock trader) says that an East Indiaman is lost at Cantire, and that the people are saved. The brig Ann of Jersey, from Whitehaven for St. Michael's, has been brought into St. Ives, in distress. She had been out 22 days, and was driven 800 miles to the westward of her course, and had carried away her foremast and main-top-mast. She was prevented from going on shore to the westward of St. Ives, by the intrepidity of the pilots, who ventured to her assistance in a tremendous sea, and thus saved not only the vessel and cargo, but in all probability, the lives of the crew; as, had the vessel grounded, there was scarcely a possibility of their being preserved.-Cornwall Gaz. On the night of Wednesday the 27th ult., the Recovery, of Workington, came on shore at Saturness, within a hundred yards of the Brig Fanny, of Maryport, which was wrecked on the same rocks a few weeks ago. The Recovery is not much damaged, and at the date of our information was expected to be got off. During the morning of the 27th, this vessel had encountered a severe gale while approaching the Cumberland coast, and the night setting in very dark and misty, the crew mistook Saturness light-house for that of Workington, for which port they were bound. This is the third vessel that has been driven upon these rocks within the last three months.-Dumfs. Cour. The smack Lord Hill, THOMAS, from Douglas, Isle of Man, with 22 passengers and a crew of four men, is lost in Formby Channel, and all on board perished. The Mary, FLETCHER, from Sligo for Liverpool, is totally lost at Lamlash; the crew were drowned. The William Pitt, of Dumfries, from Galway to Liverpool, with kelp, was totally lost, near Malin Head, on Wednesday the 27th ult. Mate only saved. The Cyclops, BRAITHWAITE, (of Maryport) from Buenos Ayres to Liverpool, was lately captured on her voyage, by the Spanish ship Rita, and carried into Santander. By letters since received from Captain BRAITHWAITE, dated Santander the 15th instant, the said vessel and cargo have been released, but owing to the Commander of the Rita having taken out the crew, she is obliged to remain at Santander until he can get another, which, when done, he will immediately proceed on his voyage. The schooner Rambler, is arrived at Whitehaven, from St. Petersburgh in ten weeks, laden with hemp and tallow. The Isabella, Robert HIND, of Maryport, is arrived at Cork, from St. John's, all well, bound to Carlisle with timber, &c.

In his last visit to Plymouth, a few weeks since, he seated himself on the steps of the Plymouth Telegraph office to eat an apple. His dress then consisted of a dirty night-cap round his head, surmounted by the poll of an old hat without a brim, a rough waistcoat patched all over, greasy leather smallclothes, kept up by listing braces outside the waistcoat, with wads of straw round the bottoms of his legs. In his hand he wielded a large hedge-stick. Amidst all this seeming penury, he possessed some very excellent freehold estates in the above parish, well stocked; yet he chose to quit the family-mansion, and lived in a small cottage in its vicinity, without a pane of glass in the windows. He nightly entered it by a ladder, which he drew after him, and slept in a corner of one of the rooms upon a wretched pallet.
A POET’S THOUGHTS BY THE SEASIDE. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I love the moonlit waters to behold: To me ‘tis strangely pleasing ! Pleasing ? Ah ! that reminds me I have caught a cold, For pleasing rhymes with sneezing. I love to gaze upon the stars above, Till all my brain grows stupid. Stupid ? Ah ! that reminds me I am deep in love, For stupid rhymes with Cupid. I love upon the beach to stretch at ease And read the works of Tupper. Tupper ? Ah ! that reminds me of bread and cheese, For Tupper rhymes with supper. I love to stand, when day has long since fled, And watch each rising billow, Billow ? Ah ! that reminds me I must go to bed, For billow rhymes with pillow. ________________ // _____________________ barb, ontario, canada.
Saturday 06 Feb 1819 (p. 3, col. 5) SCOTCH NEWS-Feb. 5. On Sunday morning last, a little interesting girl, about seven years of age, daughter of Mr. George RICHARDSON, carrier in Annan, while endeavouring to lift a tea kettle to place it on the fire, unfortunately going too near the grate, her clothes instantly caught the flame, and before assistance could be rendered, she was burnt in so shocking a manner as to occasion her death in a few hours. We are sorry to state, that about eight o'clock in the evening of Thursday week, the body of Mr. KELLIOCK, late overseer at Closeburn limeworks, was discovered lying partly in the river, betwixt the two bridges, on the Maxwelltown side, by a woman who had gone for some water. It is supposed, that, owing to the darkness of the night, Mr. K. had missed his way, and fallen over the steps. He has left a wife and young family to lament his loss.
