By the returns made it appears that ALLERDALE WARD ABOVE DERWENT contains 19,426 males and 23,880 females;—total 43,306. Of these the following three parishes (comprising the sea port towns of WHITEHAVEN, WORKINGTON, and HARRINGTON,) furnish the following numbers, viz:— Parish of St. Bees 16,284—of Workington 6,533—of Harrington 1,621. Total 24,438. The lovers of the drama and of genuine merit will be pleased to learn, from an advertisement in the front of this paper, that the veteran MOSS, whose talents have oft contributed to the rational amusement of the inhabitants of this city,—intends to treat them with a Pic Nic Pistaccio, on Tuesday next. The reception which this gentleman has always received from a Carlisle audience is a flattering testimony of the respect in which he has been always held; and we cannot entertain a doubt that the same encouragement which has hitherto attended the professional talents of our "Friend of Auld Lang Syne," will not be with-held on the present occasion. A singular mistake occurred in this neighbourhood on Sunday morning. A farmer, his wife, and son, had actually proceeded a considerable distance from home, on their way to our market, with a cart-load of pigs, &c. before they discovered that they had lost a day,—supposing it to have been only Saturday! The Scots Greys, who were quartered at Newcastle, have marched for Manchester, and have been replaced by two troops of the 2d dragoons. In the garden of Mr. DALTON, of Cummersdale Mill, was lately gathered a gooseberry, (of the species commonly denominated Chiswick's Sportsman) which admeasured 5¾ in. by 4½ in.; and which weighed 20 dwts. 11 gr.; and which is supposed to be the largest ever produced in the north of England.—Upon the same bush were several which weighed from 17 dwts. to 14 dwts. Last week, a gooseberry was plucked in the garden of Mr. DICKINSON, at Rothersike, near Egremont, which measured 4 inches and a half in circumference, and weighed three ounces and one pennyweight!!!—Cumberland Pacquet. The Bishop ot Chester confirmed, on Tuesday se'nnight, 563 females at Trinity, and 292 males at St. Nicholas church,—and on the Wednesday 924 females and 745 males at Trinity, Whitehaven. On Monday last, were confirmed by the Bishop of Chester, about 2500 young people, at the parish church of Kendal:—In the course of his very able charge to the clergy, his Lordship strongly recommended to their attention, a recent work, the Bishop of Lincoln's Confutation of Calvinism. At the last Appleby Sessions, two men were convicted of striking a constable in the exercise of his duty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment, be fined, and give security for their future behaviour. A few days ago, four persons passing in an open boat from Whitehaven to the opposite coast of Scotland, two of them were unfortunately drowned, viz. John SLOAN, an elderly seaman, and Martha FOWLER, his daughter. The Lord Chancellor has presented the Rev. E. MOISES, A. M. to the vicarage of Hart cum Hartlepool, on the resignation of the Rev. R. RIDLEY. The Harmony, BELL, and Nelson, SMITH, of Maryport, are arrived at Carse from Meramachi with fir timber.

The celebrated Dr. ARBUCKLE, Professor of Legerdemain, will exhibit unrivalled performances on Monday and Wednesday next.-See adv. We are sorry to announce a circumstance of a calamitous nature, which occurred at Wellwick, in Northumberland, late on Monday night or early on Tuesday morning.-Owing, as is supposed, to the neglect of a servant in not properly securing a candle, the stables of Mr. BELL took fire; every exertion to subdue the flames was unavailing; and the premises alluded to were in a short time entirely consumed. About 200 bushels of oats (Carlisle measure) were destroyed as also five fine horses belonging to Mr. Thomas WRIGHT, carrier to Newcastle. On Wednesday last, the detachment of the Forfarshire Militia, quartered in Carlisle, under the command of Capt. LOGAN, volunteered their services to Ireland. The Prince Regent has granted to Martin BREE, Esq. of Brathwaite Lodge, in this county, permission to use the surname of STAPYLTON, out of respect to his maternal grandfather, the late Rev. Sir Martin STAPYLTON, of Myton, Bart. The Bishop of Chester arrived at Whitehaven on Monday, and consecrated the chapel at Hensingham. His Lordship confirmed on Tuesday. The Nancy, COLLIN, of Maryport from Rushabucta, with fir timber, is arrived at Stranraer. The Sarah, M'MILLAN, of Maryport, arrived from Rushabucta at Maryport, bound to Wire Water. The Agnes, INMAN, of Maryport, from Meramachi to Liverpool, is arrived at Whitehaven, all well. The Isabella, HIND, arrived a few days ago at Maryport; she sailed from the above place 10 months ago, and was locked up in the ice, from whence she was not released till the equinoxial rains. We noticed in our last the gallant action between the Fortune, of Workington, and a French privateer of 16 guns and 120 men, in which the latter was beat off with great loss. One of our crew, who received a musket shot in his arm, acted with uncommon bravery, who, although faint with loss of blood, and was therefore desired to leave the deck, declared as long as he had an arm left, he would fight for his liberty, and nobly kept his post until the action was over. The privateer hailed the Fortune several times, and told her if she did not strike, she should receive no quarter, but this was answered in the truly British style of firing a broadside immediately into her.

Saturday 20 Jul 1811 (p. 3, col. 4) GALLANT ACTION. QUEBEC, May 2d [or 20?], 1811.-The following are the particulars of the action between the brig Fortune of Workington, and a French privateer brig of 16 guns, and about 120 men, which, from we can collect [sic], exceeds in brilliancy the action of the Cumberland. The Fortune was attacked on the 13th April, in about 53 deg. N. lat. and 2* deg. W. long. The action lasted about 50 minutes. On coming in sight of the Fortune she hoisted English colours, and approaching, hailed, and desired Captain HODGSON to send his boat on board; which he refused, saying, that if they had any business with him they might send their boat to him. Whereupon the stranger immediately hoisted French colours, and fired a shot between the Fortune's masts, and then gave them a broadside, which was immediately returned by two broadsides. The enemy made three attempts to board. In the first attempt, they poured in men in all directions, eight of whom got into the Fortune's jolly boat at her stern, when one of the crew, with great presence of mind, drew his knife and cut the fastenings of the boat, which precipitated them into the sea. Numbers having gained the forecastle, captain HODGSON ordered a discharge of musketry, and then charged them with the bayonet. Those of the boarders who were not killed on the deck were thrust from the shrouds and chains into the sea. During the engagement the Fortune's colours were twice shot away, and were at last nailed to the gaff, by a young boy, who, while in the act of so doing, became a mark for the enemy; but he, far from being intimidated, called out to them, "fire away you b rs." The enemy had a four-pound swivel and ten men on each top, who kept up an incessant fire on the crew of the Fortune. Her colours and sails are perfect riddles, so numerous are the perforations. Her rigging and spars were also considerably damaged, and as her crew were decreasing fast, she would probably have been captured, had she not fortunately shot away the enemy's fore-topmast, at which time the Fortune's crew gave three cheers, and the privateer sheered off. Captain H. gave her a parting broadside, which was not returned, and then lay by to repair the damage, and to clear the ship for a renewal of the action, in case the enemy should think proper to renew it. But in two hours after the privateer disappeared to leeward, and Capt. H. proceeded on his voyage. Capt. H. speaks in the highest terms of the bravery of his crew, and the great assistance received from his passengers during the action. The loss unfortunately sustained by the Fortune in this action is as follows: John WILSON, John DICKSON, English seamen, killed; and Anthony OLIVER, a foreigner, also killed; Mr. A. GREIG, of this city, a passenger, wounded in the knee; Mr. Hugh SANDERSON, of London, passenger, wounded in the arm, and 3 seamen slightly wounded. The third passenger was Mr. LAHEE [?]. The Fortune mounted 8 guns and 2 swivels, and the number of persons on board, including her officers, 3 passengers and 3 boys, amounted to 19. The privateer lost, in killed and drowned, between twenty and thirty, in boarding, but the number killed on board of her by shot from the Fortune, could not be ascertained. The Commanders of ships in the harbour propose giving Captain H. a dinner, at the Union Hotel, on the 28th inst.

Saturday 20 Jul 1811 (p. 3, col. 1) To the Editor of the CARLISLE JOURNAL. Mr. EDITOR.-It was not without pain and indignation that I perused a letter, signed "An Eye Witness," that you (I trust inadvertently) suffered to creep into your last week's Journal; by which the administration of justice within this county and the character of this town are indecently arraigned and calumniated.-From the tenor of that letter, it would appear, that the gentry and populace of this place sympathised with a criminal undergoing the sentence of the law, for a gross and infamous misdemeanor, and treated him with "Respect and esteem," either implying their countenance to the crime for which he suffered, or reflecting on the justice of his conviction and consequent sentence. The "Eye Witness" would have you believe, Sir, that he witnessed the exhibition of a suffering Martyr, and not of an odious criminal-permit me now, Mr. Editor, to wipe out this stigma cast upon my native town, and to inform the public by the same channel, through which the poison flowed, that the views and description of the dim eyed witness were scandalous and false. No marks of "Kindness and Respect" were shewn to the culprit by any one person of character and credit in this town or neighbourhood, or in the remotest degree entitled to the rank of "Gentleman;" and the forbearance of the "populace" from the marked and odorous compliments usual on similar occasions, should not be imputed to their "Esteem and Respect" to the exhibitor, but to the novelty of the scene, habits of good order, and the controuling presence of a strong military and civil force, accompanied by a feeling that the degrading situation occupied by him was of itself no slight punishment.-I must however admit, that a pelting thunder shower was partially averted from the head of the Eye Witness's Hero, by an umbrella, held by a ragged fellow of no character of estimation, and unknown to the town; but this solitary act of kindness was disapproved of by many of the spectators; besides, the pelting of the storm formed no part of the sentence, and -- "My Enemy's Dog, "Tho' he had bit me, should have stood that time, Against my Fire." As to the expressed "disapprobation of his punishment," a few words shall suffice.-The verdict was found upon the clearest and most unequivocal testimony, and the sentence seems, in my estimation, not more than commensurate to the rankness of the offence. The credit due to the statement of the Eye "Witness" will be better appreciated when I state this fact, viz. that it was transmitted to you for insertion by the exalted Hero himself. I forbear to pursue this disgusting subject, or to press longer on a broken reed; but let it be remembered that those strictures have been provoked by his own imprudence, and I should gladly have wholly abstained from the discussion, had not the circumstances of the case, implicating the morality and honour of a large and respectable town imperiously called for this vindication. A CLEAR AND IMPARTIAL EYE WITNESS. Penrith, 5th July, 1811.

Saturday 13 Jul 1811 (p. 3, col. 3) To the Editor of "THE CARLISLE JOURNAL." SIR,-In addition to the information you received last week, respecting Mr. KELLET, I am authorized to state, by Gentlemen of the first respectability, who were present at the time of his being impilloried, that he was received by the populace with every mark of respect and esteem, and not one of the whole signified the least enmity towards him. On the contrary many Gentlemen came forward and offered him refreshment, of which, however, he partook but little. Several also in the most disinterested and handsome manner presented him with money. A heavy shower of rain coming on at the time, a Gentleman very politely held up an umbrella over his head to screen him from the effects of it; whilst his friends, who knew his former conduct, expressed their disapprobation of his punishment, and vied with each other in endeavouring to shew him the utmost kindness. Mr. KELLET, during his residence in the town and neighbourhood of Penrith, was universally respected; and the treatment he has experienced will be the best criterion of the estimation in which he is held, not only by his more immediate friends, but by the public at large. I am, Sir, your's, &c. AN EYE WITNESS.

Saturday 13 Jul 1811 (p. 3, col. 2) John NICHOLSON and John LITTLE have been fully committed to stand their trial at our assizes, charged with having stolen a horse from a person near Rosley. On Sunday last, Richard BROWN, servant with Mr. Joseph LAZONBY, of Oughterby, was drowned while bathing in Boustead-hill creek in the Solway Frith,-a most dangerous place for bathing, but much resorted to by strangers. Within these few years there have been several similar accidents in the same place. A reward of 20gs is offered for the discovery of the person suspected to have murdered the Irishman who was found dead near Cargo, as mentioned in our last.-See Adv. We have since learned, that Henry M'ANNALLY and John THOMPSON, cattle dealers, well known in Belfast, met and conversed with two men supposed to be the deceased and the suspected murderer, on Sunday, the 30th ult. about 8 miles west of Carlisle; and they described the old man as unable to speak good English. Both had shabby blue coats on, and the young man, who, it is feared, has committed the murder, was stiff-built, of a red complexion, and had reddish whiskers. The severe thunder storm that did so much damage in the county of Dumfries on Monday se'nnight, (as mentioned in our last) also visited the north-east part of Cumberland on the same day. In the parish of Bewcastle the peals were tremendous:-at a place called Coldside, the electric fluid struck a tree which it nearly rooted up, and killed a sow at a few yards distance. The rain descended in torrents; and in some places, hailstones resembling masses of ice lay in great quantities upon the ground. The feat lately achieved at Newbury, Berks. as noticed in our paper of the 29th ult. (wherein a sheep was shorn, and the fleece spun, wove, dyed, &c. and made up into a coat on the same day) has been reckoned a surprising instance of active exertion. - Something similar occurred some years ago in this neighbourhood, which will not be deemed inferior to the one recorded.-An elderly woman, belonging to Bleckhall, about two miles distant from Carlisle, bought a quantity of wool in the city, returned home, spun it, knit it into a pair of men's stockings, came again to Carlisle, and having found a purchaser for her article, drank the produce in a public house before her less industrious neighbours had completed their regular day's work.

The Earl of Sunderland and family arrived on the 22d ult. at Derwent water, near Keswick, which his Lordship has taken as a temporary residence. On Wednesday last the Rev. Dr. W. B. COLLYER, of Peckham, preached a sermon in the Presbyterian chapel here for the benefit of the Missionary Society; when the sum of £6. 6s. 7¾d. was collected. On Wednesday, the Loyal Cumberland Rangers, together with the Cumberland Troop of Light Horse attached to the corps, were inspected on Warwick moor by Col. RAWDEN. The corps went through their various evolutions, firings, &c. with the greatest precision, and received the thanks of the inspecting officer for their soldier-like conduct. We are glad to observe, from an advertisement in another part of this Paper, that the Magistrates have ordered the dunghills which infest the public road in the vicinity of this city with their pernicious effluvia, to be removed. On Tuesday last, Thomas KELLETT, convicted at the last Quarter Sessions of an assault, with intent to commit an unnatural offence, stood upon the pillory at Penrith, pursuant to his sentence. The culprit did not receive the slightest molestation from the populace. On Sunday afternoon, a boy about 9 years of age, son of a soldier in the 55th regt. at present quartered here, was drowned in the Eden, near the confluence of the Caldew, while bathing.—He was taken out of the water, after remaining immersed about a quarter of an hour, but too late to restore the vital spark.

A number of sixpences, made of base metal, are at present in circulation. They are quite round and flat, with a small degree of roughness on the edges, apparently produced by the actions of a file. They are distinguishable from the genuine ones by the colour, which is a dim white, and by the sound when rung. MILITARY NEWS.

Saturday 06 Jul 1811 (p. 3, col. 1-2) MYSTERIOUS DEATH. On Monday night, at Cargo, near this city, an inquest was held on the body of a man, apparently between 60 and 70 years, of a spare and meagre appearance, who had been found dead about 7 in the evening, in a corn field, adjoining the high-road, and not more than 100 yards distant from Cargo-hill. There being no absolute evidence before the Jury to the manner in which the deceased came by his death, a general verdict of Found Dead was delivered.-The circumstances attending this case, as detailed before the Jury, and which have been since developed, are exceedingly mysterious. It appeared, in evidence, that one of the inhabitants of the place observed the body lying stretched out in a furrow on Monday morning, and a horse grazing by the side of the road, unencumbered by its saddle. Supposing the man was merely asleep, no notice was taken of the circumstance, until the evening, when the same appearance was observed. Alarm being naturally excited, it was discovered that he was dead. He was lying upon his back,-all his clothes, even to his very shirt, were stripped off, lying above him, and the saddle placed upon his legs. At his side lay 14s. in a purse in silver, 2d. in copper, a crucifix, rosary, &c. At some little distance from the spot, was a quantity of blood, which had evidently proceeded from the deceased; it is necessary to remark, that though no visible marks of violence appeared on the body sufficient to account for the cause of his death, he might have expired from the bursting of a blood vessel, or have been forcibly suffocated. It was also given in evidence, that the unfortunate creature was accompanied from Carlisle by a person on foot of suspicious appearance, who constantly kept a little before the other. They were last seen near each other in the neighbourhood of Cargo, about 11 o'clock p. m.; and a person answering his description, much agitated, crossed the ferry at Rockliff, about 12 o'clock of the same night. It is not unworthy of notice, that the gate of the field, in which the deceased was lying, was strongly fastened on the outside with a rope. The body was afterwards recognized by a person who happened to be travelling that way, and who had had some little acquaintance of him. He proved to be an Irishman, from the neighbourhood of Newry, a jobber in cattle, and a man of penurious habits-it being his general custom, when the weather permitted, to sleep in the open air, under the shelter of some hedge or haystack. He had been in Whitehaven yesterday week, where he received 53 guineas in gold in payment of cattle, and which it is supposed were in his possession when he passed through Carlisle. His name could not be distinctly ascertained: from the communication of the person alluded to, it is either TERNEY, TURNER, TORRENS, or some name of similar sound.-His remains were decently interred on Tuesday evening, in the burying-ground of Stanwix.-We trust the business will not rest here, but that such means will be taken as may tend to the development of this occurrence.

Saturday 29 Jun 1811 (p. 3, col. 3-5) [continued] MASONIC PROCESSION. Monday last being the Festival of St. John the Baptist, the occasion was celebrated here by the ancient fraternity of Free Masons in an appropriate manner.-Deputations from Wigton, St. John's, Annan, St. Andrew's, and Workington, Sun and Sector, visited the Lodges of Union and Harmony, Carlisle.-In the forenoon the Brethren proceeded to the Cathedral church of St. Mary's, in Masonic Procession; where they heard a most appropriate and impressive discourse delivered by the Rev. Brother DONALD, of Anthorn, from 1st Thess. 3d chap. v. 12. When the Procession entered the choir, Brother HILL, the organist, played HANDEL's grand coronation anthem on the organ; also a voluntary, from the same divine composer; after which, EBDON's appropriate anthem, from Psalm cxxxiii, "Behold how good and joyful a thing it is for Brethren to dwell together in unity." It was excellently sung by Masters FIDLER and CALDWELL.-The following was the order of Procession:- JUNIOR LODGE. The Two Tylers, with swords, Two Deacons, with Rods, Banner. Entered Apprentices, two and two, Junior Warden, with column and regalia, Fellow Crafts, two and two, Senior Warden, with column and regalia, Master Masons, two and two, Secretary and Treasurer Past Master, with rod, &c.

Though the day was unfavourable, the spectacle possessed much brilliancy, each Lodge vying with the other in doing honour to the occasion. In coming from Church, the form of procession was reversed, preceded by the Band of Music; after proceeding to the Scotch gates, it returned to the Crown and Mitre, where the Brethren partook of a most excellent dinner, composed of every variety the season could afford; and spent the afternoon with that conviviality, harmony, and rationality, so congenial to the ancient craft. Many loyal, patriotic, and Masonic toasts were drank-(John LOSH, Esq. High Sheriff, and Provincial Grand Master, in the Chair.) In the evening, an elegant ball was given, which was attended by ladies whose elegant, yet simple and decorous dresses, added not a little grace to their modesty and beauty; and at a seasonable hour, the happy company broke up, their spirits exhilirated [sic] by innocent amusement, and their hearts elevated by true Masonic benevolence.
