BIRTHS. 

 

At Fort Lodge, near Longtown, the lady of Pulteney MEIN, Esq. of a son. 

 

At her house at Hampstead, Lady PONSONBY, widow of the late Major General Hon. Sir William PONSONBY, K. C. B. who fell at the battle
of Waterloo, of a son. 

 

At Great Linford-House, the Lady of Lieut. Gen. LOFT, of a son, her 18th child. 

 

MARRIED. 

 

At St. Cuthbert's, on Sunday last, James MARINER, to Bridget BELL, both of Botchergate.—On Monday, Mr. Francis CARRICK, to Mrs.
Elizabeth LEE, both of English-street. 

 

On the 7th Feb. at Great Burstead, by the Rev. James BUCK, Rector of Lavenham, Suffolk, the Rev. John ADDISON, L. L. B., Rector of
Ickenham, Middlesex, formerly of Cockermouth, in this county, to Maria, eldest daughter of Doctor ADAMS, of Billericay, Essex. 

 

At Ardwall, Mr. John JOHNSTON, merchant, in Dumfries, to Jane, daughter of Robert M'KUNE, Esq., of Milnbank. 

 

At the Friends' meeting-house, Sunderland, Joseph SANDERS, Esq., banker, Whitby, to Miss Jane SIMY, neice of Solomon CHAPMAN, Esq.,
of the former place. 

 

DIED. 

 

On Wednesday forenoon, in St. Alban's Row, in this city, Mr. William PARKE, late innkeeper, and many years high constable of
Carlisle,—aged 55. Mr. PARKE had been ill some time, but on the morning of his death seemed rather better. He was seated on a sofa,
and leaning back, expired almost immediately. 

 

On Thursday morning, aged 52, in Botchergate, Mrs. HEWSON, widow of the late Mr. Daniel HEWSON, manufacturer in this city. She had
been slightly unwell for the last fortnight, but on Wednesday night took her supper on retiring to bed, and the next morning was
found a lifeless corpse. Although her daughter slept with her she was unacquainted with her demise, and even got up in the morning
without speaking, supposing her asleep. 

 

On the 13th inst. at Cardue, near Carlisle, aged 25, Mr. John SEWELL, officer of Excise, Stockport, Cheshire. 

 

On Sunday last, at Brampton, Mr. Thomas FORSTER, slater, at an advanced age. 

 

On Monday last, at Boothby, near Brampton, Mrs. DAVIDSON, aged 99. 

 

At Penrith, on Friday se'ennight, in the prime of life, after a long and painful illness, Miss CARUS, governess of a schooI for
young ladies in that town. Instructing her pupils equally by precept and her own unvarying example, in the conscientious practise of
every Christian and moral duty, as well as improving their minds with solid and useful information, will make her death considered a
public loss, and her memory sincerely regretted by all who had an opportunity of knowing her numerous virtues. 

 

Same place, on Sunday, John WHARTON, at an advanced age. 

 

On Monday morning, William ATKINSON, formerly of Appleby. He laid himself down to rest among some straw in an out house near Lowther
Bridge, Penrith, on the preceding evening, and in the morning was found a corpse. 

 

On Saturday last, at Turnberry, in the parish of Cumrew, George WHARTON, aged 45 years.—He rose about six o'clock, perfectly well,
with the intention of going to Croglin, and calling his eldest son (a youth about 15 years of age) to accompany him, went into the
stable with the design of trapping the horses; his son immediately followed him, when melancholy to relate, he found his father
prostrate in a dying state; and calling his mother, with some neighbours, who instantly came, they bore him into the house still
breathing, but in less than ten minutes the vital spark was extinguished. He was a sober and industrious man, and has left a widow,
far gone in pregnancy, and eight children to lament his loss. 

 

On the 8th inst., Mr. Robert LITTLE, of Butterhill, in the parish of Bewcastle, in this county. 

 

Sunday last, in Whitehaven, John BELL, tailor, late of this city. 

 

At Bannock-Row, in the parish of Dean, near Whitehaven, Mr. William PEARSON, in the 31st year of his age. He was a hunter of such
celebrity that his name was familiar amongst those of his own class throughout the whole county. 

 

At Lady Lands, parish of Kirkbean, on the 9th inst. John GRAY, Esq. aged 47, a Captain in the Local Militia; a sincere friend, a
social companion, and an honest man. His death is a striking instance of the uncertainty of life. He was a very stout robust man,
healthy and well, and in the evening conversing familiarly with some friends, appeared to enjoy an uncommon flow of humour, when on
a sudden he reclined his head and died without a groan. 

 

At Dumfries, after a long and tedious illness, Mr. William DICKSON, aged 25. 

 

At Dumfries, Nathaniel M'TAGGART, late of the 16th regiment of foot, commanded by Gen. STROUD, and who fought under Prince Ferdinand
at the battles of Dettingen and Minden. He was born in the year 1709 in the Gorbals of Glasgow. 

 

On the 8th inst., after a short, but very severe illness, which she bore with truly Christian fortitude and resignation, Margaret,
the wife of Mr. F. WEBSTER, of Kendal, architect, in the 47th year of her age. By her genteel and polite manners, as well as by her
candour, sincerity, and integrity of mind, she had gained a very extensive circle of friends and acquaintance, by whom, as well as
her family connections, her loss will be long and deeply regretted. 

 

On the 6th January, at Warsaw, at the age of 125 years, François Ignace NARODUSKY, a Polish gentleman. He was married to his second
wife at the age of 92! 

 

Last week, at Brightside, at an advanced age, Caleb HARTLEY; the veteran, who, during the celebrated siege of Gibraltar, took a
lighted shell out of the Laboratory, carried it some distance, and threw it upon the ground, where it exploded. For this action he
received a present in money, and thanks from General ELLIOTT, afterwards Lord Heathfield, then governor of that fortress.
