It gives us great pain to state, that yesterday week, as Robert PARKER, Esq. of Heaton Norris, brother to A. PARKER, Esq. of
Carleton, near Carlisle, was driving through Stockport in his gig, the horse took fright, and ran against a post, which precipitated
him with such violence on the pavement as to occasion almost instant death. His loss will be deeply felt and lamented by his
afflicted widow and numerous friends. His purse was always open to assist in every work connected with religion and benevolence. The
poor have lost in him a bountiful benefactor.-He was in his 71st year.

The Rev. J. HUDSON, A. M. late Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, Cambridge, has taken possession of the vicarage of Kendal, to
which he was sometime ago appointed. 

 

TO INNKEEPERS.-Orders have been issued to allow innkeepers to charge for men on their march 1s. 3d. per day for cavalry, and 1s. 5d.
for infantry. 

 

The York Assizes closed yesterday week.-The prisoners under sentence of death were reprieved, except the three men for violating the
