Saturday 17 Apr 1819 (p. 3, col. 1-4) Great progress has now been made in that excellent undertaking, the embankment from the new Eden Bridge to the Castle Walk. The detachments of the 18th Hussars stationed in various parts of this county, have concentrated here, preparatory to a review of the whole by Sir John BYNG, which will take place on Monday next. On Saturday last, Jane TURNBULL was committed to Carlisle gaol, charged with stealing five yards of cotton furniture from the shop of HESLOP & LITTLE, drapers, in this city. A few days ago, at Drumburgh, a man attended the funeral of his wife in the same coat which he wore when he was married to her thirty-four years before, the venerable garment being not much the worse for wear! A full grown apple was this week pulled in a garden at Warren House, belonging to Mr. BELL, of the Howard's Arms Inn, Brampton. We are happy to learn that the Mining Concerns at Alston Moor, are in a state of profitable activity. We are extremely sorry to state, that Mr. Thos. SANDERSON, of Kirklinton, well-known for his literary talents, fell down a precipice in one of his favourite walks on the banks of the Lyne, on Monday last, and broke his collar bone, and otherwise severely injured himself. Last week, Capt. POTTINGER, while on horseback, near Caldbeck, met with an accident by which his leg was broken. We are happy to hear that he is doing well. On Thursday the 9th instant, as Jane the daughter of Jonathan MILLER, of Aikton, aged nine years, was returning from school, she called upon her father who was ploughing in a field, and waited until he left work. She was then placed by her father upon one of the horses in order to ride home. In going down a hill, she unfortunately slipped from her seat, and, getting entangled among the ploughing chains, the horse galloped off homewards, and entered the farm yard at full speed, where stood the child's mother, dragging the little unfortunate behind it. The agonized feelings of the parent may be better conceived than described: her cries soon brought assistance, but too late: the child was a lifeless corpse! An inquest was held on the following day before Mr. R. MULLENDER—Verdict, accidental death.—It is worthy of remark, that this fatal accident happened on the child's birth-day. On Wednesday last, an inquest was held at Appleby on the body of Richard NICHOLSON. It appeared that the deceased and a fellow-workman were employed in sawing a piece of wood, and in attempting to alter its position, it fell upon NICHOLSON (who worked below) and injured him so much that he died in 15 minutes, though medical assistance was rendered almost immediately. Verdict—accidental death.—The deceased has left a wife and one child to lament his untimely fate. Mr. Thomas KAYLE is appointed master of the harbour-boat at Whitehaven, in the room of Mr. Thomas GRAHAM, who is gone to America in the Canada. On Thursday last, the smack Ann, of and from Peel, Isle of Man, was seized by the excise boat at Whitehaven, having some contraband tea on board. On Sunday night last, or early on Monday morning, some evil-disposed person or persons cut a hawser, nearly new, belonging to the Eleanor, CLEMENTSON, lying under one of the coal hurries in the south harbour of Whitehaven, which she had out for a stern mooring. Instances of this kind are not unfrequent; the pieces cut off are usually carried away: vessels are often cast adrift, too, from mere mischief. The punishment of such offenders, if detected, would not be a light one. John KENDAL, innkeeper, of Whitehaven, was recently convicted in the mitigated penalty of £5 and costs, of having permitted persons to continue tippling in his house on a Sunday. Saturday se'ennight, an inquest was taken at Bootle, on the body of Martha KNOWLES, a hawking Potter, who was found hanging in a hedge near the church.—Verdict, lunacy. At Lancaster, the following six prisoners have been left for execution: Henry MONCRIEFFE, aged 22, convicted of a rape; Wm. SMITH, aged 17, convicted of highway robbery and burglary; John CLARKE, aged 26, and John Horseman DRAKE, aged 32, Henry ENTWISLE, aged 56, and John KAYE, aged 55, convicted of uttering forged Bank of England notes. The other thirty-eight prisoners, capitally convicted, have been reprieved. HENRY HALL, Esq. of Carlisle, on Easter Day, presented a very handsome service of Communion Plate to his native parish of Gilcrux. We feel much pleasure in inserting the following feeling letter from that gentleman, which accompanied the present, together with the appropriate reply of the Minister and Church-wardens.— "Carlisle, April the 10th, 1819. “Reverend Sir and Gentlemen,—Observing that the church of my native parish has been hitherto without communion plate, and as it has pleased Almighty God to prosper my labours when abroad, (during an absence of twenty-six years,) I now beg leave, without, I trust, an appearance of ostentation, to present to the church of Gilcrux a service of communion plate, to be there preserved, and handed down to posterity as a memorial of my reverence for our most holy religion; and accompanied by my ardent prayers, that all who attend at the communion table of our church may derive that spiritual comfort and consolation, which is promised by our blessed Lord and Saviour to all who believe in him.—I have the honour to be, Reverend Sir and Gentlemen, you most faithful friend and very humble servant, HENRY HALL. "To the Minister and Churchwardens "of the Parish of Gilcrux." ---------- "Gilcrux, April the 12th, 1819. "Dear Sir,—We the undersigned, holding at this period the responsible offices of Minister and Churchwardens, beg you, as well in our own names as in the names of the inhabitants at large, to accept our warmest acknowledgments and thanks for the very handsome service of communion plate presented by you to the parish of Gilcrux; and whilst we honour the feelings which have induced you to bequeath a lasting memorial of your piety towards God, and veneration towards your native place, we trust this proof of both will be duly appreciated by each class of communicants, and that they and their posterity, emulating not merely your industry, but also your zeal for our most holy religion, may receive the fruits of their labours both here and thereafter. "WILLIAM PATTINSON, Minister. "JOHN PENNY, } "JOHN BRIGGS, } Churchwardens. "To HENRY HALL, Esq." The statement of Mr. JOHNSTONE’s death by the kick of a horse (copied from the Dumfries Journal) is an imposition.
