Saturday 03 Oct 1818 (p. 2, col. 5-6) On Tuesday last, Mary BROWN and Jane PARKER, were committed to Carlisle gaol, charged with stealing a coat from David DUCKETT.-On the 24th ult. Margaret DARLEY was likewise committed for stealing Cotton Weft from Messrs. John and Daniel HEWSON, of this City, manufacturers. On Monday last, the Hon. H. C. LOWTHER was elected Mayor of the Borough of Appleby. On Monday, a bricklayer, employed in a new house now erecting by W. HODGSON, Esq. at Stanwix Bank, fell from a chimney at the top of the building, but he fortunately lighted on a beam of the second story, and did not receive much injury. His son, who was attending him, was so much alarmed at his father's fall, that he tumbled after him, and, happening to pitch upon a door which lay across the beams, was not at all hurt.-On Tuesday, a man named KNIGHT, a carpenter residing at Denton-Holme-Foot, fell from the roof of a building in Shaddongate, to the ground. He was very much injured, and his life is despaired of. The fine scenery of Gilsland, no less than its healing waters, still continues to attract company. A considerable number of persons, also, are yet enjoying the benefit of the sea breezes on the coast. The weather is unusually favourable. On the night of Wednesday se'nnight, the shop of Mr. Thomas MARK, of Thursby, was broken into, and robbed of some silver and copper. The thieves first tried to enter at a back window, but failing in the attempt, they endeavoured to make a hole in the end of the house:-being likewise foiled in this, they at length accomplished their purpose by breaking open the shop window in front. The red-breast has been heard in Cumberland for three weeks past, and the swallows are congregating and leaving the North. This has not occurred so early since the years 1775 and 1798. A greater number of persons have visited the Lakes this year, than was ever known before in the same space of time. During three weeks of the last month, 300 pair of post horses passed the turnpike gate leading from Kendal to the Lakes. Fire at Hexham Abbey.-On Thursday week, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a destructive fire broke out in this edifice, the Seat of T. R. BEAUMONT, Esq. M. P. for the county of Northumberland. The accident appears to have originated in a badly-constructed chimney, in the housekeeper's room, where a fire had been burning the whole of the day. The flames were first observed bursting through the roof by the gardener, who gave immediate alarm;-they soon raged with great fury, and not a fire-engine could be obtained nearer than Newcastle! After the arrival of the engines, the flames were soon subdued, and a great part of the building was saved. The damage, though considerable, is not near so great as was at first reported: very little of the furniture was destroyed. The family were absent at the time. In the night of Wednesday se'nnight, an attempt was made to break into and rob the house of Mr. Alderman SORSBIE, Newcastle-on-Tyne, by a gang of robbers. One of the villains had got on the top of an out-house, with the view of entering by a sky-light, when he was shot by Mr. S.'s man servant, the only male in the house. The wounded wretch immediately fell, and rolled from the top of the out-building to the ground. His companions succeeded in carrying him off, but his hat was left behind; and the great effusion of blood indicated that the wound was of a formidable nature.
