Saturday 29 May 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-2 + 5) Mr. YEWDALE's Ball was held on Wednesday evening, in the Assembly-room, at the King's Head Inn, Appleby: there was a most numerous attendance of both beauty and fashion. The Carlisle Gas Light Bill has received the royal assent. Mr. CHAPMAN, the engineer, arrived here on Thursday, and yesterday he commenced marking out the line of Canal near Bowness. This most important undertaking will commence without delay. Carlisle has been plentifully supplied with very fine herrings this week, caught in the Solway Frith, which met with a ready sale at about a penny each. Some herrings were taken so high up the Solway as Burgh Marsh, a circumstance of rare occurrence. Mr. PARKINS left Carlisle on Thursday, for the North. We are sorry to hear that Mr. WATSON, of Cliburn Hall, was killed by a fall from his horse on Saturday night last, as he was returning home from some sports which had taken place at Gamblesby. Two young men, joiners, have been committed to Appleby gaol, charged with robbing a man called DEMPSTER, on the road between Kirkbythore and Templesowerby, on Tuesday night last, of a pocket book, containing about fifteen pounds in Bank notes. The Canal at Kendal is shortly to be opened, on which occasion, it is understood, there will be a public celebration. The remains of the late Duke of Buccleugh, which were landed at Portsmouth last week, will be interred at Edinburgh. There have emigrated from the ports of Dumfries-shire for America, since the commencement of the season, 624 persons, of all descriptions. Three men and a woman have been committed at Dumfries, for robbing the house of Rob. TAYLOR, Esq. at Summerville, of various articles of wearing apparel, &c. in a very dextrous manner. A number of other thefts have been committed, it is supposed, by the same parties. The Polly Peachum of the gang is young and handsome-one man has escaped. Mary MURRAY, widow, otherwise called Mary LOVE, wife of James LOVE, late of Byker, labourer, and Margaret CROW, widow, have been committed at Newcastle for uttering forged notes of the British Linen Company. One morning, last week, James HAMILTON was found in his cabin, near the staith of Newbottle Colliery, weltering in his blood, his head being dreadfully fractured, and he expired shortly afterwards. The perpetrator of this atrocious act is supposed to be a fellow mamed [sic] KING, who had been permitted by the deceased, out of compassion, to lie in his cabin the two or three previous nights, and who represented himself as a shipwrecked sailor, in great distress. The same night, Thomas BOLTON, a labourer at Burdon Main Colliery, was knocked down while on his way home to Newcastle, by a man dressed in sailor's clothes (supposed to be the above-named KING), who most barbarously cut and maimed him, and when found on the following morning, he was nearly lifeless. On Saturday week, Lieut. STEWART, accompanied by two young ladies, Miss BROOKS, daughter of Mr. James BROOKS, of Musselburgh, and Miss Agnes BROOKS, daughter of Mr. Wm. BROOKS, of the same place, who were on a visit at Cockburnspath, Berwickshire, having gone out in a fishing-boat, for a pleasure sail, with a sailor boy, were overtaken by a sudden squall, which upset the boat, and the Lieutenant and the two ladies were unfortunately drowned. The boy with much difficulty saved himself.
