Saturday 18 May 1844 (p. 3, col. 2-4) QUARTERLY TABLE OF MORTALITY.-The quarterly returns ending March 31st, have just reached us. The deaths in the northern division in that period are shown to have been in Carlisle 271 | Gateshead 216 Cockermouth 184 | Tynemouth 332 Kendal 222 | Sunderland 306 Newcastle-upon-Tyne 436 | In the Registrar's notes, we find the following observations:-Carlisle, (St. Mary's.)-The number of deaths registered this quarter is considerably above the average, being 49 more than the corresponding quarter of last year, which is attributable to Measles and Hooping Cough, being very prevalent and fatal, there being 49 deaths from the above causes; whereas, in the corresponding quarter of last year there were only 1 of measles, and 1 of hooping cough. St. Cuthbert.-This is considerably above an average quarterly number of deaths; but there does not seem to be any infectious disease prevalent to account for the increase. The deaths seem to have been principally amongst old people and young children-14 persons being upwards of 70 years each, and 22 under one year, which will account, in a great measure, for the increase. Stanwix.-The number of deaths is above the average, owing to the prevalence of measles. There was one case of hooping cough, also two of croup. None of these have of late years been prevalent in this district. Wetheral.-Hooping cough and measles have been very prevalent in my district this quarter. DEATH OF SIR JOHN LOWTHER, BART.-The demise of this venerable Baronet, which had been looked for for some weeks past, took place on Monday, at Swillington Hall, near Leeds, his principal residence. He was the son of the Rev. Sir W. LOWTHER, Bart., rector of Swillington, and Ann, his wife, a descendant of the ancient family of the ZOUCHes; was born in April, 1759, had had consequently just completed his 85th year. On the 4th of September, 1790, he married Lady Elizabeth FANE, second daughter of John, the ninth Earl of Westmoreland, by whom he had three sons and three daughters, but one of the latter died an infant and another in 1812. Sir John was next brother to the late Earl of Lonsdale, whom he strongly resembled both in features and personal disposition. Though fond of retirement, he was not unused to public life, and during a period of many years represented in Parliament the county of Cumberland. His baronetcy dates from 1824. The successor to his title and estates is his eldest son, John Henry (born March 23, 1793,) one of the members for the city of York-now, course, Sir John Henry LOWTHER, Bart. DEATH OF MR. ISAAC CREWDSON.-The decease of this benevolent gentleman occurred very suddenly whilst on a visit at Bowness, near the lake of Windermere, on the 8th instant. He had for some years suffered from an affection of the heart, and an attack, half an hour in duration, terminated his life of piety and usefulness, in the 64th year his age. The town of Manchester has sustained a severe loss in the removal of this good man, whose excellencies consisted in the application of a sound judgment to useful purposes, in remarkable integrity of character, in a disinterested and generous benevolence, and in singleness of aim and untiring devotedness to the cause of practical piety. Many under the pressure of adversity have been privately relieved by his beneficence, in a manner so tender and delicate as at once to supply their temporal necessities, and to sooth their feelings. Mr. CREWDSON was a native of Kendal, but in early youth removed to Manchester, and for many years resided at Ardwick Green. After an assiduous, but not absorbing attention to business, he retired with a competency from commercial pursuits in 1826, and more fully devoted his time, talents and property, to the benefit of his fellow men, in various channels of Christian philanthropy. Whilst, on the broadest and most liberal principles, he was the friend and supporter of associations formed to relieve the physical, and raise the mental condition of mankind, he applied the largest share of his energies and property to the bible, missionary, and tract societies. But the Manchester and Salford Town Mission was the institution to which, since its establishment in 1837, he was especially devoted, and to him, under the divine blessing, more than to any other individual, is that establishment indebted for its prosperity and usefulness. The interest felt by Mr. CREWDSON, in the religious welfare of his fellow-men, induced him to print several small works, chiefly compilations. Amongst these was his own abridgment "Baxter's Saint's Rest," of which 30,000 have been circulated, and a large proportion of them at the cost of the benevolent compiler, to missionaries, Sunday schools, and other public institutions. But in 1835 he appeared as an author, in the publication of a work which will, probably, hand his name down to posterity,-"A Beacon to the Society of Friends." This gave rise to an active controversy, the result of which was, that Mr. CREWDSON and many of his friends felt themselves constrained to withdraw themselves from that community; but he continued to cherish an affectionate regard for the society, which he manifested until the close of his valuable life. Mr. CREWDSON's remains were interred on Wednesday morning, at eleven o'clock, at the Rusholme Road Cemetery.
