In our paper of the 24th of February last, we stated the death of Mr. Robert GOODFELLOW, which took place at Mr. E. WILSON's, the
Scotch Arms, in Rickergate. Our information led to the supposition that he had swallowed an overdose of laudanum. But we have since
been informed by his medical attendant, and other persons, that there was no reason for such a supposition, as he died of a violent
internal seizure, the symptoms of which he had laboured under for some time, notwithstanding his healthy appearance:—the crisis was
accelerated by a fatiguing journey from London in the coach.—We correct our former statement, both in respect to common justice, and
the feelings of his very respectable family and friends. 

 

We are extremely sorry to say that the body of Mr. John HUDSON, a clerk in the office of P. H. YOUNGER, Esq. solicitor, Whitehaven,
was found last Sunday near St. Bees, which place he had left the preceding evening.—The deceased was fifty four years of age, and is
supposed to have perished by the cold. 

 

It is said that Prince Leopold is to be created Duke of Kendal. 

 

Perhaps one of the most extraordinary branches of commerce carried on from the port of Newcastle, is the supply of St. Helena with
coals, which has been the case for a number of years. This trade will now be much increased in consequence of the acquisition of
BONAPARTE and his consequent guards, &c. to its population. 

 

Rear-Admiral Sir Pultney MALCOLM is appointed to succeed Sir George COCKBURN in the command at St. Helena, the Cape of Good Hope,
and the Mauritius. Sir Pultney arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday morning, and hoisted his flag in the Newcastle, 50, Captain
MEYNELL. He will sail for the command in about ten days. 

 

It is pleasing to learn, that the important regulations respecting weights and measures is intended to embrace a standard size of
bottles, so long desired. Considering the high price of wines, &c. we congratulate the public on this proposed alteration, so soon
to take place. 

 

LANCASTER ASSIZES.—The following are the sentences passed upon the prisoners tried at these Assizes:— 

 

To be transported.—John BELL, aged 19, Anthony HALLIWELL, 49, Mary Ann ALLEN, 40, and Steven WILLIAMSON, pleaded guilty of having
forged notes in their possession; Josiah ALLEN, aged 41, for having in his possession implements for forging bank notes; fourteen

To be imprisoned.—Ralph KINDER, 46, for having put on board a ship, bound to New York, sundry implements used in the cotton and silk
manufacturers [sic] of this kingdom; one year, and fined £200. Owen M'GUNNELL, 30, and Alice M'NALLY, 31, for uttering counterfeit
shillings; one year, and fined 1s. 

 

The Jamaica, FERGUSON, was at Norfolk, Virginia, on the 16th of Feb. and about to sail for Jamaica.—The Tobago, CHRISTOPHERSON, and
Vittoria, TWENTYMAN, were also there at that period.—The Seaton, TURNBULL, of Workington, is arrived at Surinam from Liverpool, all
well.—The Fanny, PEARSON, of same port, is arrived at Pernambucco.—The Columbine, REED, of Ditto, was spoke on the 10th Feb. in lat.
38. N. long. 12 W., all well.
