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 timeby 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.
