At our Sessions, on Wednesday, no business of particular interest occurred.

Parish and Parish Church of Kendal. 

 

A general ballot is to take place for the regular militia regiments, which will occupy about six weeks, when it is expected the

The inhabitants of Leeds have petitioned for the extension of mercy to Mr. BLACKBURN, found guilty of forging stamps at the last

LIBERALITY.-On Thursday se'nnight, at a meeting of the Common Council of Newcastle, several rooms in the new hospital lately erected
there were given away to such persons as were thought most deserving of relief.-Amongst the number of applicants for rooms was a
freeman of the name of BELL, who had formerly been in good circumstances, but is now greatly reduced, and between 60 and 70 years of
age. A room was given to him, and he had retired, full of gratitude, to inform his old partner that she might now "lull her cares to
rest," for he had now got something to "shelter them from the pitiless storm," during the winter of life. Some malicious spirit,
however, having whispered that he was a Roman Catholic, he was re-called, and because he would not recant his religion, he was
deprived of the boon!!! 

 

The outward-bound fleet from Portsmouth, under convoy of the Swiftsure, safely arrived at Barbadoes on the 1st February.-The
homeward-bound fleet was expected to sail on the 26th February. 

 

The Brazil homeward-bound fleet sailed from Rio Janeiro under convoy of the Cherub and Racoon.

The Aurora, TOLLINS, from Antigua; the Milham, TOMLINSON, from St. Vincent's; and the William, RICHARDSON, from the West Indies,-all
belonging to Whitehaven,-left St. Thomas's with the fleet for England on the 26th February.
