His Grace the Duke of Norfolk arrived, on Monday last, at Greystoke Castle; we are happy to add, in his usual good health and
spirits.

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.
