Saturday 07 Nov 1818 (p. 3, col. 2-4) At a Meeting of the Committee of Management for the proposed Canal, held yesterday, J. D. B. DYKES, Esq. and Mr. Thos. HUDSON, were added to the Committee. We feel pleasure in stating that two or three persons have been summoned before the Mayor, for driving Cattle and Sheep through the City on Sunday last,—and, we understand, it is his determination to fine every person so transgressing. We would recommend the Butchers, in particular, to be upon their guard. Among the proofs of the singular mildness of the season, we may mention that the Cuckoo was heard in this neighbourhood last week, and that ripe Strawberries were gathered in a garden a few days ago, which grew in the open air. We are happy to hear that great exertions are making in all parts of the County in the cause of Christianity, and it is with pleasure we learn that Sir Jas. GRAHAM, of Netherby, and the other landed Proprietors of Nichol Forest, have erected at their own expence, a neat and commodious Chapel, which, with a Burial Ground, was lately consecrated by the Bishop of Carlisle. After the consecration, an appropriate Sermon was preached by the Rev. F. GRAHAM, Rector of Arthuret, to a numerous and respectable congregation. Lady Catherine GRAHAM, ever ready to aid the cause of Religion, presented the Chapel with elegant covers for the pulpit, reading desk, and altar table, together with a set of new books. Extraordinary Produce from one Potatoe.—Mary MEIN, of Burgh-by-Sands, planted one whole Potatoe in her garden this season, and when taken up in October last, it produced the astonishing number of 110 Potatoes, and a great many of them very large ones. The Ladies visiting the Female Prisoners in the Gaol, return thanks to those Ladies and Gentlemen who have kindly placed subscriptions and donations at their disposal. It is intended to employ the Prisoners in making up useful articles of clothing, which will be sold at the prime cost of the material, with a moderate charge on the labour, at a stall in the market-place. The Mayor still pursues his most praiseworthy determination of keeping the streets clear of those noisy and mischievous persons who have too long been permitted to infest them on Sunday evenings.—On Saturday night, a party of dissolute young fellows prowled about the streets at a late hour, making the most hideous noises, and from noise they proceeded to more active mischief—they began to break the lamps, and commit other depredations. Two young men, named MUSGRAVE and RICHARDSON, were seized in the act of breaking lamps, were lodged in gaol, and brought before the Mayor, who fined them in the penalties authorised by law. Twelve lamps in all were broken, but the person who apprehended these foolish young men, could only swear to seeing them break three. ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night last, about nine o'clock, Captain John WILEY, of the Nicholas, was found lying on Workington Quay, with his skull fractured in a shocking manner, and he died the next morning. It is supposed that, owing to the darkness of the night, he had fallen over the south parapet wall, near the Harbour-house. The Coroner and a respectable Jury held an inquest over the body the following day, and returned a verdict—accidental death. We are sorry to state, that Mr. William WALLACE, master of the Amity of Maryport, while on the passage from Peel to Maryport, with a cargo of grain, a few days ago, was knocked overboard by the main-boom and drowned. He was a man much and deservedly respected by all who knew him. A Match was run yesterday over Penrith Race Course, for one hundred guineas aside, two heats, between Mr. LAMB's Young Mask, and Mr. M'MINNIES's Billy Pitt, which was won easily by the former. Clerks proclaiming Sales in Church-yards on Sundays (a custom very prevalent in this county) are liable to a penalty of £10—not being licenced or permitted by the laws of the realm so to do. It would operate beneficially if the law were sometimes enforced. On the night of the 26th ult., the dwelling-house of Mr. John ROOK, of Mosser, in the parish of Brigham, in this County, was broken into, and robbed of a number of bank notes of the Kendal and Whitehaven banks, and various other property. A bay pony was also at the same time stolen out of the stable. At the Lancaster Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday week, Thomas POTTER was found guilty of unlawfully having in his possession certain machinery used in the cotton manufactures of this kingdom, with intent to export the same to America. The sentence of the court was, the goods to be forfeited, and POTTER to be imprisoned 12 months in Lancaster castle, fined £200, and to be further imprisoned until the fine be paid.
