Saturday 06 Feb 1819 (p. 2, col. 6 p. 3, col. 1) A meeting of the Subscribers to the House of Recovery was held, pursuant to notice, on Monday the 1st inst., at the Town Hall, to consider the propriety of adopting another situation for their House; the one they had originally pitched upon having been relinquished on account of the title. The situation proposed, was the Wash-house on the Damside, near Water Lane, now under a long lease to Dr. HEYSHAM from the Corporation.Dr. HEYSHAM, with great liberality, offered to assign the residue of his term in the property (upwards of 30 years), at the same rent which his present tenants hold under himonly £12 per annum. This proposition was accepted by the Committee; and the Corporation have since agreed to prolong the term for another 20 years, at the same rate. The Rev. Robert MARKHAM observed at the meeting, that some objections had been thrown out in a newspaper printed in this town, which might perhaps have been as well spared: he had, in consequence of those objections, been to examine the place, and had only just returned; he was himself quite convinced that the situation was most eligible, and that instead of the establishment of a Fever House there being the cause any nuisance, it would, in point of fact, prevent a nuisance; for he had seen a woman actually washing clothes in the very place, where, when the House is established, no such thing will be permitted. Mr. MARKHAM suggested, that to avoid even the appearance of fouling the water, a pipe might be laid from the House through or under the Dam, by which the foul water, from the water-closets and other places, might be carried into a drain which he had observed, and by which it might be completely taken away, without prejudice to any one. After a little discussion, in which all the medical men present declared their opinion that there was not any objection whatever to the place on account of its situation, but that, on the contrary, it was a highly desirable one, it was unanimously resolved, that the Committee be authorised to take the situation at the Damside, the property of Dr. HEYSHAM, and generally have full power to put into immediate execution the object of the institution. The Annual Meeting of the Subscribers to the Carlisle Dispensary took place on Tuesday last, at the Town Hall, which, we regret to state, was by no means so numerously attended as was expected. The Treasurer laid before the meeting an abstract of the state of the funds of the Institution, by which it appeared that upwards of one hundred pounds were expended during the last year above the amount of the annual subscriptions, thereby reducing the surplus fund very considerably. The Treasurer also read a very interesting Report from the gentlemen of the medical department, a copy of which we have inserted for the perusal of our readers. The observations made in the Report, with regard to cleanliness, &c., to prevent the increase of contagion, are of great importance, and deserve the attention of all ranks of society, particularly at a time when cases of typhus fever yet remain in this city and neighbourhood. The meeting unanimously voted thanks to Dr. BARNES, the physician in ordinary, to the Medical and Quarterly Committees, and to Mr. WALDIE, secretary and treasurer, for the services they have rendered the Dispensary during the last year. A Resolution was. also passed, requesting the gentlemen composing the Quarterly Committee for the present year, to use their best endeavours to augment the annual subscriptions by soliciting support from those ladies and gentlemen in this city and neighbourhood, who are not subscribers. We cannot for a moment entertain a doubt but a great addition will be made to the funds of this very excellent charity in the course of the year. Such a charity as this should always be provided with ample means to benefit those who, by sickness, are rendered incapable of being useful to themselves or to their families. We have only to add, that it appears, from the state of the registers, that upwards of two thousand four hundred persons have been admitted to the benefit of this charity, from February 1818, to February 1819, being upwards of seven hundred more than were registered in 1817, and above thirteen hundred more than in 1816. The Carlisle Canal Bill was brought in in the House of Commons, on Monday last, and was read the first time. On Sunday last, William IRVING, of Wigton, shopkeeper, put a period to his existence by hanging himself. The deceased had been at Carlisle on the Saturday preceding, for the purpose of receiving some money, in which he was disappointed; and, as is supposed, being about to make a payment, it preyed so strongly upon his mind as to cause insanity. His wife was invited to tea at a neighbour's house, which she wished to decline, but he pressed her to go;as soon as she was gone, he sent the children out of the house, went up stairs, and committed the fatal deed.He has left six small children. On Sunday last, in the afternoon, Mr. Henry ARMSTRONG, farmer, of Dovenby, left his house apparently in a sane state of mind, saying that he was going to see a friend, who was unwell. Not returning home that night, his four sons went in search of him the next morning, when they found him hanging by the neck in a plantation, quite dead, with an handkerchief tied over his head and eyes. The unhappy man was 64 years of age, and was very much respected. At Dublin, yesterday week, as Edward CLARK, seaman, of Ginns, was hanging up his clothes to dry in the rigging of the Robert, of Whitehaven, he fell, and was so hurt that he expired in an hour, leaving a wife and five small children to lament his death. Mr. A. BIRD, of the Nook of Hayton, has a pear-tree in his orchard, which for the last fifty years has produced three crops of pears each year, without being grafted. A petition will be presented to the House of Commons against the election of John GLADSTONE and Gabriel DOVETON, Esquires, who were returned for the Borough of Lancaster.Kendal Chronicle.

Saturday 30 Jan 1819 (p. 3, col. 5-6) SHIPPING. On Thursday last, was launched from the yard of Mesrs. [sic] KELSICK, WOOD, & Co. a fine new copper-bottomed brig, called the John Syme, burthen 285 tons, built for Capt. Jos. BUSHBY, who has been very successful in the Carricks, of Port Carlisle. Notwithstanding the wetness of the day, an immense number of persons were present to witness the launch. Melancholy Shipwreck.-About six o'clock on the morning of yesterday week, the fine ship Trelawney, 450 tons burthen, of Glasgow, Captain REID, bound for Jamaica, went on shore on the Ayrshire coast, betwixt Stevenston Burn and Irvine Bar. There was no communication betwixt the vessel and the land in the morning; but at ten o'clock it came to blow very hard with a heavy swell, when four of the crew came on shore in the jolly boat with a line, but it unfortunately slipped from the vessel. A cask, however, with a line, reached the shore, and four active adventurous seamen, of Saltcoats, (three of them ship masters) pushed off in a boat and succeeded in reaching the vessel. Having taken on board the captain and ten of the crew, which was as much as the boat could carry, they were returning, when the boat upset and all on board perished, within 200 yards of the shore, in the sight of a great number of people, who could give them no assistance. The body of Captain REID, and that of one of the ship-boys named CLARK, came on shore soon after, but all attempts to restore animation failed. The remainder of the crew, consisting of nine, with a passenger, were seen clinging to the masts and rigging all day, the sea breaking over the vessel, but no attempt could be made to save them, and four of them dropped off during the night. The other five seamen, with the passenger, were carried on shore next morning, the weather having moderated, and are fast recovering, from the humane attention they have met with. Those six with the four who got ashore in the jolly boat the preceding forenoon, are all that are saved, nineteen having been drowned, including the four men who lost their own lives in the generous attempt to save the lives of others. The following are the names of those four men, three of whom have left families: Capt. Robert WOOD, jun., Capt. Samuel FERROW, Capt. HUGHAN, and John HOGGERT, seaman.-The following are the names of the people saved:-James WALLACE, mate; D. M'DOUGALL, carpenter; Adam DUNCAN, 2nd mate; Alexander HENDERSON, boatswain; John BLACK, steward; Wm. PEARSON, George FAIRLIE, John CONNOLLY, John DOUGLAS, seamen, and a passenger. The vessel is supposed to have broken up. The cargo, fortunately was not very valuable, consisting mostly of herrings with some plantation stores, a considerable part of which will probably be saved. The Columbus, a fine West-Indiaman, belonging to Glasgow, was totally lost, near Campbelltown, on Friday. On the 17th inst. a new sloop, called the -- of Brae, Dan. RICHARDSON, master, was driven on shore near the harbour of Maryport, and totally dashed to pieces; crew saved. She was bound from Brae to Whitehaven for coals. The Manx smack, Imperieuse, LAWSON, went on shore on the 24th inst. (the same tide she sailed from Whitehaven,) at Workington, and soon went to pieces. The Acasta, PARKIN, of Whitehaven, from Jamaica, is wrecked in the Gulph of Florida. It is reported that two of the people are lost on account of their being sick, and could not be got out. The Harmony, of Whitby, 500 tons, John TRUEMAN, master, from St. John's, N. B. to Liverpool, with timber, was wrecked on Sunday se'nnight, at Rossleigh, county of Kerry, (Ireland,) accompanied with the distressing circumstance of the loss of eleven of her crew, and also of two pilots out of four, who boarded the vessel on her first appearance off the coast of Kells, near Iveragh. The Havannah Packet, from Havannah, for Liverpool, is on shore at the Point of Ayr. A sloop (name unknown) about 70 tons burthen, from Belfast to Liverpool, with a cargo of oats, is on shore near Girvan; vessel and cargo damaged. Cast up on Pilling Sands and neighbourhood, part of a vessel's deck, a boom, some butter in firkins, and loose, a pipe of oil, directed to Mr. A. HENRY, painter, Ulverstone, a bed, some spars, one bag of cotton, one chest, one case, and one seaman's chest; supposed to be from the New Liberty, Ulverstone trader. ARRIVALS.-The Ann, HUXTABLE, of Whitehaven, put back, and encountered a very heavy gale, but sustained no damage.-The Susannah, GRAHAM, of Whitehaven, at Bristol, from Leghorn-all well.-The Consolation, FELL, of Whitehaven, at Isle of Wight, from St. Domingo, with loss of fore-top-mast and mainsail.-The Isabella, HARE, of Whitehaven, at Dublin, from Miramichi; there is an account of disagreeable disturbances on board. The Otaway, from America, which lately put into Whitehaven in distress, sailed on Thursday, for Liverpool. The Kelsick Wood, FISHER, is arrived at Trinidad. The report of the loss of the Friends, of Kirkcudbright, is not true. The Favourite, CAIRNS, of Kirkcudbright, left Seetham Bay, in the Mersey, on Friday morning, and arrived at Whitehaven the same night: when she came away she loosened from the Friends' quarter, and left her there loaded with coals for Newry.

Saturday 30 Jan 1819 (p. 3, col. 3) His Grace the Duke of Buccleugh, whose health obliges him to go abroad, will embark at Portsmouth as soon as the wind is fair for going down Channel. The birth-day of the immortal BURNS was celebrated at Dumfries, on Monday, by a large party, who dined at the Globe Inn: John COMELIN, Esq. in the chair; Mr. William GRIERSON, vice-chairman. A fine child, the daughter of Mr. Thomas HOOD, gardener, Dumfries, was so dreadfully burnt in consequence of her clothes taking fire, on the 19th inst., that she died in a very short time.
Saturday 30 Jan 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2) On Tuesday last, the petition for a Canal between Carlisle and the sea, was presented to the House of Commons, and referred to a committee. Yesterday was appointed for the Committee's first sitting. Our readers will perceive, by an advertisement in this day's paper, that the Annual Meeting of the Subscribers to the Dispensary will place on Tuesday next, at the Town Hall. We should hope that every Subscriber who feels interested in the welfare of this excellent charitable institution, will conceive it to be his duty to attend the Anniversary Meeting, as a numerous and respectable attendance of the subscribers on the above occasion will prove that there exists, on their part, a desire to promote the designs of the Dispensary; and it will be gratifying to the gentlemen who gratuitously give their assistance, to find that their endeavours to promote the views of the subscribers have succeeded. From the great increase of patients during the last two years the funds of the Dispensary have been considerably reduced: it is hoped, therefore, that many gentlemen will attend the meeting who are not subscribers, to support this valuable institution. The birth-day of the pride of Scotland, Robert BURNS, on Monday last, was celebrated at the King's Arms Inn, in this city, by a party of gentlemen, who dined together, and spent the afternoon very pleasantly. Mr. HOLMES's dinner and wines, as usual, gave general satisfaction. Committed to Carlisle gaol.Christopher GALE, committed by John CHRISTIAN, Esq. charged with having stolen two bills of exchange, one for £100, and the other for £50, from the mail from Cockermouth to Maryport, he being employed to carry the said mail.Thomas YOUDALE, committed by J. D. B. DYKES, Esq. charged with having privately stolen two silver watches from the shop of Mary SIMPSON, of Cockermouth, on Tuesday the 26th inst. On Tuesday morning, as a farmer of one of Mr. FORSTER's estates, (of Newtown,) in Nichol Forest, was on his way to Carlisle for the purpose of paying his rent, he was stopped, at no great distance from his own house, by a man, who robbed him of his pocket-book containing a considerable sum; and personally ill-used him. The robber certainly must have had some information of the farmer's business. On Saturday last, was convicted before the Mayor of this City, in the mitigated penalty of 5s. each, two colliers from Brampton for placing coals upon the foot-path near the Cathedral. Whitehaven, Jan. 28.On Sunday, about twelve o'clock, as the tide was going out, two men discovered the body of a woman in the harbour of Parton, near this town, and it was conveyed to a place formerly used as a smith's shop; but no one there could tell who she was. About six in the evening, two men, near relations of the deceased, came to see the body, and said she was a stranger, and went away. Sometime during the night, the body was taken to Whitehaven, by some friends, as is supposed: she proves to be Miss Jane FARISH, of Lowther-street, in this town. She left home about half-past four on Saturday. Neither of the two men who found her was summoned before the coroner's jury.Verdict, found drowned. COURSING.The second coursing match at Annan took place on Tuesday last, upon the estate of the Marquis of Queensberry. The matches made at a former meeting, had excited considerable interest among the sporting characters on both sides the Sark, and a larger concourse of people was never, perhaps, assembled on a similar occasionthe sport was admirable: 22 hares were killed by three o'clock. On summing up the courses run between the Cumberland and Scotch dogs, they stand 17 to 4; leaving the large majority of 13 in favour of England. After the sports had concluded, upwards of thirty gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner at the Queensberry Arms Inn. Among the toasts, was the health of the Marquis of Queensberry, which was drank with true sportsman like warmth: this was followed by "the health of his amiable consort and family, and may she soon be the mother of an heir to the house of Glen-Stuart:" it is needless to say that this was pledged with equal spirit. The principal gentry resident on the borders were in the field. MATCHES. 1. Mr. J. ELLIOT's Buff, beat Mr. LOWTHER's Fleet. 2. Capt. WILKINSON's Fly, beat Mr. LOWTHER's Fly. 3.

It was finally determined at a meeting of the friends of Mr. STANIFORTH, held at Hull yesterday se'nnight, to give up, under present circumstances, the proposed petition to parliament in favour of that gentleman, and against the return of J. R. G. GRAHAM, Esq. who will consequently retain his seat unmolested for that town. Accident.On the 15th instant, a melancholy accident occurred on the highway near the village of Eaglesfield, about three miles from Cockermouth.Andrew BEWSHER, a respectable farmer, of Wright Green, parish of Dean, was travelling along the road, with three horses and three carts, laden with wheat, which he had sold to a neighbouring miller, and to whom he was then conveying it. One of the horses, being young, and not much accustomed to the cart, made a small deviation from the road, and one of the cart wheels passed over some large stones lying under the adjoining hedge. BEWSHER, actuated by the impulse of the moment, imprudently laid hold of the cart, with the view of preventing its being overturned. His exertions, however, proved ineffectual, and the cart fell upon him with great force, by which the muscular part of one of his legs was lacerated, and he was otherwise much injured. Notwithstanding medical assistance was immediately procured, he expired in a few hours, leaving a wife and either nine or ten children. Three men are now travelling about the north of England, for the purpose of passing forged Bank of England notes: they lately worked on the canal near Kendal. One of them, John M'MEAKIN, is about 27 years of age, 5 ft. 8 inches in height, and of a pale complexion; another, Con CARLE, is about the same age and height; with fair complexion and light hair; and the third, Moses M'MEAKIN, aged about 30, has a dark complexion, black hair, and stammers much in his speech. Extract of a Letter from Cambridge, Jan. 25. "The number of Gentlemen who have this year, taken their degree of B. A. is upwards of 150, which 56 have taken honours. The Senior Wrangler, Mr. KING, is a native of Lowic-Bridge, in Lancashire. He has been educated at Queen's Col., the tutors of which, Mr. BARNES and Mr. MANDELL, were both from the neighbourhood of Wigton, and the president is Dr. MILNER, Dean of Carlisle. The Moderator in his speech to the Senate on Saturday last, when the degrees were conferred, said of Mr. KING, "that there was not a corner in Mathematical Science which he had left unexplored, and that he had no hesitation in pronouncing him INCOMPARABILEM."

On Friday the 1st instant, at Southpetherwin, near Launceston, Mrs. Elizabeth TURNER, widow, aged one hundred and ten years. On the 13th instant, in Somers' Town, London, John WOLCOT, Esq. M. D., the well-known Peter PINDAR, in the 81st year of his age. Dr. WOLCOT was born at Dodbrooke, near Kingsbridge, in Devonshire, in the neighbourhood of which several members of his very respectable family have resided for a great number of years. In early life, he went into Cornwall and commenced the practice of medicine, but, it seems, not with any very eminent success, though his abilities were properly appreciated by those who were competent to form an opinion of them. In a short time he left his provincial practice for a honourable post in the suite of Governor TRELAWNEY when that gentleman went out to Jamaica. The Doctor's literary life is well-known to almost every class of readers. His talents were of the first order, but he degraded them, in a great measure, by personalities and looseness of language-his attacks upon the King will always call forth reprobation while domestic virtue and the royal character inspire respect. Satirical humour was his forte, and this quality rendered his works unprecedentedly popular, yet, to the man of taste and feeling, the tenderness and sublimity which he occasionally displayed, were infinitely more valuable than his sarcastic effusions. Though the Doctor long laboured under a lingering illness, which confined him to his bed, he did not suffer acute pain: he was attached to life, but he prepared to meet the expected stroke with firmness and resignation: he retained his natural humour to the last. Doctor WOLCOT, we are told, expressed a strong desire that his remains might be interred as near as possible to those of BUTLER, the celebrated author of Hudibras, in St. Paul's, Covent Garden. Sudden Demise of the Earl PAULET.-His Lordship, we regret to state, died at Hinton St. George, in Somersetshire, on Thursday se'nnight. The Noble Lord, on the preceding evening, had directed the horses to be put to the post chariot early in the next day. At five o'clock in the morning, the Countess was alarmed by the sudden indisposition of the Earl; he was seized with an apoplectic fit, and never spoke afterwards. His Lordship lingered until eleven at night, when he expired, in the 63rd year of his age. Captain and Mrs. PAULET and Lady Barnard were present at this trying scene. Lord Hinton is absent, making the grand tour. [The deceased was John POULETT, 4th Earl Poulett.] *** A Correspondent says,-"Mr. D. MURRAY, whose death you lately announced, was seized with a violent illness, bordering upon delirium, while returning from Carlisle market in the early part of his life, which confined him to his bed twenty-one years, without being moved, except while the bed was making. It is also worthy of remark, that the bed in which he lay, is said to have been the same in which Charles STUART slept, when that unfortunate Prince made his ill-advised and feeble attempt to regain the English crown."
Saturday 23 Jan 1819 (p. 3, col. 6) SHIPPING. The Jane & Mary, FISHER, of Whitehaven, one of the vessels that were driven off on the night of the 8th inst., is on shore at Kirkcudbright, but is expected to be got off without damage. The Jane, of Whitehaven, BROADFOOT, from Dublin to Londonderry, was driven on shore on the island of Jura, 27th ult. but it was expected would be got off, after discharging part of her cargo. The Jason, WHITE, of Whitehaven, sailed last week, from Greenock, with 800 barrels of herrings. A letter from the Jason, mentions that she has been obliged to put into Lochindal, with the loss of Wm. SMITH, carpenter, of Whitehaven, and an Apprentice. The Defence cutter, arrived at Whitehaven on Thursday afternoon; the master states that two vessels, laden with bacon, are lost in Beaumaris bay, and all hands perished; also, that a large ship, bottom upwards, has been driven on shore on the Calf of Man, and that several bales of silk have been thrown up by the sea;—likewise, that a Liverpool trawl-boat is on shore in Ramsay bay, and another in Beaumaris bay. Yesterday week, at night, the Anglim, GRAYSON, belonging to Maryport, coal-laden from Trone, struck, in attempting to enter Whitehaven harbour. The people were with the utmost difficulty dragged on shore by ropes. The vessel was greatly damaged, but by planking, &c. she was got within the harbour on Saturday evening. She had been eleven days at sea, and lost a man off the mainyard some time before she reached that port. Belfast, Jan. 14.—During the spring tides last week, the Isaac and the Jane of Maryport, the former loaded with coals and the latter with timber, got on the rocks at the Copeland Sound by the strong indraught of the tide. The Jane got off, but the coal vessel sunk. Her materials were landed at Bangor,—crew saved. The Friends, of Kirkcudbright, M'CLURE, while on her voyage last week to Whitehaven, was lost on one the dangerous sand banks, so numerous in that passage, and the crew, consisting of four or five persons, unfortunately perished. On Sunday se'nnight, a brig belonging to Dundee, loaded with iron, wine, and fruit, struck upon Barnhowrie Banks, and sunk. We are happy to state that the crew were saved. During the late severe gale, a West Indiaman, name unknown, was driven out of her bearings. The look-out boy having observed the Isle of Hesten, she providentially escaped the dangerous rocks near that place, and was brought to safe anchorage in Gibb's Hole, at the mouth of the Water of Urr. The following vessels belonging to Workington, have arrived at the undermentioned places: The William, STEWART, at Bristol, from Leghorn; the Matthews, STEEL, at Liverpool, from Buenos Ayres; the Argo, JACKSON, at London, from Malta.

Saturday 23 Jan 1819 (p. 2, col. 4-6) Mr. Alderman HOTHAM is chosen Lord Major of York, for the year ensuing. On Monday last, a party of Hussars, 28 in number, under the command of an officer, was sent from this city to Alston Moor, at the requisition of the magistrates at that place. It appears that poaching has lately been carried to an extreme pitch in that neighbourhood; the men engaged in it are of the most desperate character; and their conduct is generally of a very daring nature. One of these persons having been apprehended, he was rescued by his associates in such numbers, and under such circumstances, as to render it necessary to support the civil with the military power. The result of this expedition is not yet known in Carlisle; but the most absurd reports are in circulationsuch as that three of the hussars and several of the inhabitants have been killed. We mention this merely to give it a contradiction. The irregular and disorderly conduct of the children in Botchardgate on Sundays, has long been a great annoyance to the inhabitants of that part of the suburbs of this city. On last Sunday, however, one boy was convicted before Dr. HEYSHAM, for playing at marbles, and fined: the boys had on that day repeatedly been warned that they would be apprehended, but without effect; it is hoped that this will be a caution to the parents to take care that their children are not suffered to continue in so open and flagrant a breach of the Sabbath, as we understand measures will otherwise be promptly taken to check it. On Saturday last, about two o'clock in the afternoon, some dextrous thief entered the house of Mr. T. WILSON, Veterinary Surgeon, Scotch-street, and stole from an upstairs room, nearly the whole of Mrs. WILSON's wearing apparel, consisting of a great variety of articles. The stairs are apart from the Kitchen, and hence the depredator had a readier access: the stair-foot door, however, was locked, though the key was unluckily left in it. On Monday evening last, about 4 o'clock, Miss THOMPSON, of Scotby, was knocked down and robbed of some silver, a quantity of copper coin, and a vinegar bottle, in the public foot-path leading to Botcherby Mill, while on her way home from Carlisle, by a fellow who followed her from Botchergate, but who, unfortunately, is unknown to her. A reward is offered for his apprehension. Mr. CURWEN, at Ambleside, last week, publicly declared himself an enemy to any new Corn Bill. The parish of Penrith has adopted the useful plan of publishing the names of all persons whom it affords weekly parochial aid, which will, without doubt, have the effect of reducing the list very considerably. At all events, the public will now know to whom adequate relief is afforded, and thus, in many instances, imposition will be prevented. This plan, at various places in the south, has proved very effectual in reducing the poor rate: the good policy of it is obvious, though at the first view, it seems an hardship that misfortune should be held up to the gaze of the world;knavery, however, renders many an unpleasant proceeding necessary. In consequence of the measures which have been pursued for the Suppression of Vagrancy at Penrith, the following comparative statement of relief granted to mendicants in the year 1817 and 1818, will evince their efficacy and advantage, and no doubt will induce a steady adherence to the system, which cannot be too generally adopted for the entire abolition of vagrancy:From 27th May, 1817, to 20th January, 1818, £15 0s. 2d.; and from 27th May, 1818, to 20th January, 1819, £7 15s. 10d.: those relieved by the overseer regularly begged the town, besides numbers that infested it, who were not relieved but by begging from door to door; but since this establishment, no beggars are to be seen; there have been only 58 vagrant tickets brought to the office, some of which have come from neighbouring parishes. (In this statement, the superintendent's salary is not named.) The inhabitants of Penrith, for several evenings past, have crowded to hear a female preacher in the Methodist connexion, named RAINSWORTH, whole talents have excited much attention. On Sunday night, the spacious chapel there, was literally crammed, as well as every avenue leading to it, which caused the speaker to observe, probably with great truth, that she "was afraid more came through motives of curiosity than a real desire to be informed." At the request of various persons, this preacher has been induced to protract her stay in Penrith. On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, John GILL, of Parton, caught with a rod while standing on the rocks near Whitehaven, a cod which weighed 30 pounds;cod of this size are not often caught with a rod, so near the shore. On the night of yesterday se'nnight, Mr. Joseph LANGCAKE, of Round Hill, having been at Abbey, in Holm Cultram, proceeded thence to the house of Mr. GLAISTER, of Longrigg, where he designed to pass the night. Soon after his arrival, he had occasion to go into the yard, and, in the dark, unfortunately fell into a draw well. Mr. GLAISTER's family thinking that Mr. LANGCAKE remained in the yard a very long time, went in search of him, but in vain. At last, a person, who was sick in the house, said that he (or she) heard the roller of the well going soon after Mr. L. went out: this led to an immediate search, and it way soon ascertained that the unfortunate man was jamned [sic] in the bottom of the well! Drags were procured, and the body was soon drawn out, but too late,life was extinct. Mr. LANGCAKE has left a wife and a large family to lament his premature decease. He was greatly respected by all who knew him. Margaret GRAHAM, and Jane Jackson COWEN, were committed to Carlisle gaol, on Monday last, for stealing a sheet, the property of Ambrose BOUSTEAD, of this city. These are the two women who were tried for pocket picking at the late city sessions. The Earl of Lonsdale (at the request of the parishioners of Shap) has given the perpetual curacy of that township, to the young gentleman who latterly performed the duty for the late incumbent, to the general satisfaction. A number of applications were made, the whole of which his Lordship set aside in order to comply with the wishes of the inhabitants. On Wednesday morning, Mrs. Frances TAYLOR, wife of Mr. Christopher TAYLOR, of Wigton, was found dead in a field belonging to Mr. MATTHEWS. She left her house, apparently in a sound state of mind, but she was found in a pool of water: whether she had drowned herself or not, cannot be ascertained. Coroner's verdictfound dead. On Saturday night last, the mill belonging to Messrs. BELL and BRAGG, at Whitehaven, was broken into by some person or persons who cut away the window bars, but, as yet, nothing of value has been missed: the fireman's lamp was taken from the fire-engine. A strange dog was found on the premises, which was kept till Monday afternoon, when it was followed home, but no discovery was made in consequence. The trial of M'VEY, the servant who robbed Mr. PARKINS, as lately detailed in this paper, came on at the Old Bailey, on Tuesday, and he was acquitted in consequence of Mr. PARKINS being described as John Wilford PARKINS, instead of John Wilfrid PARKINS. The Court, however, ordered the prisoner to be detained, and he will probably be indicted in some other manner. Sunday se'nnight, Mr. John WALTON, of Blaglehead, near Alston, was found dead on Eales-fell, between Whitfield and Knaresdale. It is supposed that he had died suddenly on the fell, on Friday night. Four more children have lately been burnt to death in Manchester! On Monday, at Pendleton, a married woman drowned herself and her infant child, in a fit of insanity. At the Newcastle Sessions, last week, a true bill was found against Mr. Robert BUNN, of that town, for receiving stolen corn, to which he pleaded not guilty, and traversed till next Sessions. Richard LIBBY, a custom-house meter, who had been committed for stealing the corn, was admitted king's evidence against Mr. BUNN. Friday week, there was found in the garden of Mr. Samuel ORR, at Eden, Low Moresby, a Green-Linnet's nest, with two eggs in it. There were 51 marriages, 229 baptisms, and 165 burials, at Workington, in 1818. On Friday morning se'nnight, a Frenchman, valet to Lieut. H. LAMBTON, of the 1st Life Guards, attempted to put an end to his existence at Lambton Hall, Durham, by cutting his throat and round one of his arms a little above the elbow, to the bone, with a razor. He was so far recovered on the following day, to he able to be removed to Newcastle Infirmary.

Saturday 23 Jan 1819 (p. 3, col. 5) SCOTCH NEWSJAN. 22. ---------- On Wednesday se'nnight, after a stormy night, a human body was found thrown ashore, on Preistside merse, in the parish of Ruthwell. It was dressed in a blue jacket and trowsers, with two waistcoats of different colours, and light blue worsted stockings; a silver watch was found in the fob, in which was a watch paper with the words "Robert WOOD, watch and clock maker, Workington" engraved on it. The maker of the watch appears to have been J. ROBERTS, Liverpool. A shoe of the deceased has been preserved, and the heads of the stockings, on which the letters E. B. are marked with black silk. The body had probably been some weeks if not months in the water, as the face and other exposed parts, were entirely deprived of flesh. These marks may probably lead to a discovery of the unfortunate individual, and it will be some consolation to his relations to know that he was decently interred in the church-yard of Ruthwell. As another proof of the improvement in value of landed property, we are informed, that a few fields in the neighbourhood of Dumfries, consisting of about 17 acres, sold on Friday last for £2200. A man of the name of Robert DAVIDSON, formerly a serjeant in the 76th regt. and lately one of the Police officers of Glasgow, poisoned himself on Friday. He sent to a surgeon's shop for 6d. worth of arsenic, which he swallowed, and shortly after expired in great agony. He had served in India, and had the most flattering testimonials from his regiments, with a pension of 2s. 4d. a-day, was considered quiet and intelligent, but had notions of honour not suited to his situation in life.

Saturday 16 Jan 1819 (p. 2, col. 6 p. 3, col. 2) COUNTY SESSIONS. [continued] Sarah IRWIN was charged with stealing two pieces of cotton handkerchiefs, the property of Mr. John DIXON, draper, of Whitehaven. She pleaded not guilty. Mr. COURTENAY called the following witnesses John DIXON is a linen draper at Whitehaven. On the 19th of Nov. last, the prisoner came into his shop about three o'clock, when he was very busy, and there was nobody present to attend to the customers but himself. The prisoner went to the higher end of the shop, where there was a pile of yellow Britannia handkerchiefs. When witness went up, he observed that the pile had been meddled with, and his suspicion was excited. The prisoner desired witness to cut a blue handkerchief, saying she had not money enough about her, but would go and get some. Witness remarked a restlessness about her which he did not like: as she went out, her cloak opened a little, and he observed something yellow: he stopped her, and found upon her two pieces of handkerchiefs, wrapped about her body, under the cloak: they were his property. The prisoner was apprehended immediately by the Police, and the officers called upon witness the next day, and marked the goods. The Jury found the prisoner guilty instantly, and she was sentenced to six months' imprisonment in Carlisle gaol. Charles WALKER, and Archibald KELLET, were charged with stealing Poultry, the property of Mr. John NOBLE, of Penrith. Mr. LAMB conducted the prosecution. John PARNELL swornhe is apprenticed to Mr. BIRCH, cabinet maker, of Penrith, and lives with Mr. NOBLE, who is an innkeeper: last year, witness took care of the poultry. Sometime in July last, he missed 3 hens out of the inn-yard; he knew the hens well. Hearing that they were at Castle Mill, he went down there in October, where he found them with other poultry, and brought them back; Castle Mill belongs to a person named HORNSBY. In consequence of something which he heard, he went to the prisoner, WALKER, to ask him if he had sent any hens to Castle Mill; he denied that he had at first, but witness told him he had better tell the truth. WALKER then said he had bought them in the market; he afterwards said that the other prisoner, KELLET, had given them to him. The hens were produced in Court; witness had no doubt of their being the same that were lost. The prisoner, WALKER, asked the witness how he could know the hens after 18 weeks' absence, who replied that he knew them well. William HORNSBY lives at Castle Mill, of which his father is farmer. Witness has known WALKER some yearshe brought 3 chickens to Castle Mill soon after Whitsuntide to walk there, which, he stated, he had bought in the markethe told witness that if he would let them walk, witness might have the eggs. The hens remained till PARNELL took them away: witness thinks the hens produced are the same. Mr. BLEAYMIRE, solicitor, of Penrith, was present during the prisoners' examination before Major BROUGHAM, when they made voluntary confessions, which Major B. took down in writing: neither threats nor promises were held out to them. When read, they said what had been taken down was perfectly correct, but they refused to sign it. The Clerk of the Peace read the confessions, in which the prisoners fully admitted the theft. The prisoner, WALKER, denied all that had been sworn against him, and said he had bought the fowls in the market. He observed that there were many persons in Court who knew him, among others, Mr. NANSON, the high constable. Mr. NANSON, on being sworn, said he knew nothing of the prisoner's character. WALKER, Guilty: one year's imprisonment in Carlisle gaol. KELLET, Not Guilty. Ann BELL was indicted for stealing Shoes, the property of Isabella TOLSON. Mr. ARMSTRONG stated the case, and adduced the following evidence. Isabella TOLSON sworn. She lost a pair of shoes from her mother's house, in November last, which were made by Thomas GREEN. She applied to JACKSON the constable to find them for her; Mr. STEEL was there. She afterwards saw the shoes in JACKSON's hands; she has no doubt but they were her's. Robert JACKSON, the Constable, stated, that having been applied to by Isabella TOLSON about a pair of shoes which she had lost, he went to Mary KNUBLEY's with her and GREEN, the man who made them. The prisoner was present. KNUBLEY said she had borrowed them from Ann BELL, which prisoner heard, and said they were her's, her father having bought them for her. GREEN said they were the same that he had made for Isabella TOLSON, but the heels had been knocked off. Thomas GREEN proved that he made the shoes in question. Mr. John STEEL, solicitor, attended before Major SENHOUSE, when the examination now produced and read, was taken; no threat was used to compel her to confess; she voluntarily admitted the theft. The Prisoner, in her defence, said she did not steal but found the shoes. Guilty.Imprisoned one month, at Whitehaven. At these Sessions, a number of convictions were filed against several persons, for going, in company with dogs, for the purpose of killing Game, without having taken out Certificates, upon the information of the Surveyor of Taxes at Whitehaven. A compromise on the part of five of these persons took place in Court, the Surveyor agreeing to take the penalty of £20 from one, and to quash the other four. An objection was taken by Mr. LAMB, on the part of George HOSKINS, who did not compromise, that the offence was not laid down with sufficient distinctness in the Conviction, as it stated the two offences of using dogs, and aiding and assisting in killing Game, and concluded with the adjudication of the penalty, "for the offence aforesaid." Mr. LAMB argued, with considerable ability, that this variance was fatal to the Conviction. Mr. ARMSTRONG, on the part of the Prosecution, contended very ably in its support: but the Court being of opinion, that the objection of Mr. LAMB was tenable, the conviction was quashed.
Saturday 16 Jan 1819 (p. 2, col. 6 p. 3, col. 2) COUNTY SESSIONS. The Christmas Quarter Sessions for the County, commenced at Cockermouth on Tuesday last, before Major YATES, chairman, and a Bench of fifteen Magistrates. There was a great deal of business: the following is the only part of it of public importance. John LITTLE was put to the bar, charged with stealing a gown, slip, and frock, the property of Elizabeth TORDIFF, of Whitehaven. He pleaded not guilty. Mr. COURTENAY stated the case to the jury, and called the following witnesses to substantiate it. Elizabeth TORDIFF examined. On the 17th of Nov. last, her servant washed a cotton gown, a cotton frock, and a slip; they were hung out to dry in the yard opposite to her house in Whitehaven. About five o'clock they were missing. In consequence of something which she heard, she went with KISSUCK, the constable, to the house of Hannah THOMPSON. Hannah THOMPSON remembers the prosecutor and KISSUCK coming to her house for some linen; she had received it from the prisoner the Tuesday before, between five and six o'clock; she bought it of him for 2s.; she showed it to Mrs. TORDIFF. KISSUCK, the constable, stated that he went with the prosecutor to the house of THOMPSON, who produced the goods, and Mrs. TORDIFF indentified them as her property. The Court severely reprimanded Han. THOMPSON for her conduct, and the Bench, generally, expressed the strongest disgust at it; it is such characters as she, it was observed, who lead many a young man to the gallows: one Gentleman said that he would rather have seen her at the bar, than the prisoner. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the foreman expressed his regret that they could not punish THOMPSON. Transported seven years. Elizabeth BELL was charged with having in her possession and uttering base money. Joseph ELLIOTT keeps a stall under the Moot Hall, Cockermouth, and sells calicos, &c. The prisoner came to him on Monday last and bought a small piece of calico, for which she paid him one shilling in silver, and two-pence in copper. She went to another part of the stall, and chose a piece of mixture, for which she paid 2s. 2d.; she then bought 1¼ yard more, off the same piece, and paid 1s. 4d. for itshe paid all together, in silver, and some cooper, and then went away. In consequence of what was said by John ISMAY, witness looked at his silver, and found four bad shillings; he had before about seven shillings in his pocket, and believes all were good. The prisoner was then brought back, and she immediately asked, "Have I given you some bad silver?" Witness said yes; on which she replied, "I will leave my bundle with you, and get you some good." She further said, that she had had a note changed when she bought some shoes, but would not say when. While this conversation was going on, she dropped about five or six shillings of bad money. ISMAY took them upthey were badand like those she had before paid to witness. John ISMAY was present at ELLIOTT's stall on Monday and saw that the money was bad which the prisoner paid to ELLIOTT. The prisoner was brought back, and she told witness that she had got the money from a man who travelled with cloth, in changing a note. When witness brought the prisoner back to the stall, he observed her shuffle with her hands under her cloak, and drop a 3s. piece, and three shillings in silver, which he picked up. The prisoner took some of the money from her pocket, and some from a place in the breast of her gown; she also took some other silver from amongst a small quantity of tobacco. Robert JACKSON, constable, took the prisoner in custody, and searched her. She had some base coin in her hand which she refused to give up, and it was taken from her: it was neatly packed, that it might not rub. Mr. Geo. GRAHAM proved the money to be spurious. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of having possession of and uttering base money. Sentenced to one year's imprisonment, and to find sureties for good behaviour for two years longer. John M'CARTNEY was indicted for stealing two guinea notes, 16 half-crowns, and a piece of breeches cord, the property of Richard ROSE. Mr. COURTENAY addressed the Jury at some length, and detailed the particulars of the case as they appear in the evidence. Richard ROSE sworn. On Tuesday the 1st of Dec. he had in his box, two notes, and 15 half-crowns; that day he locked the box and is sure the property was then in it. The Prisoner and his wife came to lodge with him; they lodged there two nights, and slept upstairs: and they could not get to their room without seeing his box. On the Friday, he lost the money, except a few shillings. He then went to Whitehaven, saw KISSUCK, the constable, and found the prisoner in bed at his lodgings, asleep. KISSUCK went with the prosecutor to the prisoner's lodgings, and found a bundle lying on a chair by the bed-side, which consisted of breeches cord, tied with tape; this the prisoner's wife said was her's in the presence of the prosecutor; the prisoner himself was in bed asleep; the money and the notes were found on the prisoner's wife. The Prosecutor identified the cord. The Prisoner called WILSON, a bailiff, to speak to his character; but he knew nothing more of him, than that he once whitewashed his house. Guilty.Nine months' imprisonment in Carlisle gaol. [to be continued]
