Two persons named John JONES and Henry GORDON are now travelling the country, laying informations against the owners of covered
light waggons and carts, (under 25 Geo. 3.) for carrying passengers for hire without license. They represent themselves as acting
under the authority the Board of taxes, but it was ascertained that this was false; and there being some reason to think that the
above act had been virtually repealed by a subsequent statute, JONES was apprehended in Gateshead on Saturday last, and detained on
suspicion of obtaining money by false pretences. An investigation took place on Monday before a bench of justices, when it was
ascertained that the 25th Geo. 3. was not wholly repealed by the act of the 55th, and JONES was of course discharged. The carriers
in this neighbourhood have consequently taken out the license.—Newcastle Paper. 

 

It is rumoured that Thomas GAWNE, Esq. the High Bailiff, is likely to succeed to the office of Deemster; and Robert STEUART, Esq. to
that of Attorney-General in the Isle of Man. 

 

The Magistrates of Liverpool have lately fined several shopkeepers in the penalty of £50, for refusing in payment shillings which
were proved to be the current coin of the realm. 

 

Perhaps it is not generally known that a very strong decoction of the herb Monk's-hood while green, mixed with oat or other meal,
forms an excellent and cheap composition for the destruction of rats. It has recently been employed by a person in this city with
the greatest success: 54 large rats were destroyed by it in one house, in three nights; and probably many others died in their
holes. It is advisable to place some of the decoction in a separate vessel for rats to drink. 

 

On Tuesday last, the Lord Bishop of Carlisle held his triennial visitation and confirmation in the Parish Church of St. Lawrence,
APPLEBY. The day being very favourable, the town was thronged at an early hour with a concourse of people. The Confirmation
commenced at nine o'clock in the morning, and concluded at eleven, when Divine Service was performed by the Rev. Harrison SHAW,
LL.B. of Bongate, and a most impressive Sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. SATTERTHWAITE, of Lowther, from the 6th chap. Romans,
3rd v. The number of persons confirmed amounted to 840. On the following morning a piece of ground lately added to the
burying-ground of St. Michael's, Bongate, was consecrated by the Lord Bishop. 

 

THE REV. W. PHILLIPS.—(From a Correspondent).—Having observed in your last week's Obituary the death of the Rev. W. PHILLIPS, Vicar
of Appleby, M. A., I wish to add, his worth was only really known and appreciated by those with whom he was intimate. He was one
whose soul was tremblingly alive to friendship's call—an able counsellor, a consoling friend—as a most affectionate parent none
excelled him; and his son (at this early period of his life) severely feels in his decease, the irreparable loss of a father ever
anxiously studying in the most essential points his welfare. He, with his widowed mother, now weeps the death of a fond parent and
affectionate husband; but many others there are who, as long as memory lasts, will mourn the departed friend, and whose only
consolation is the blessed hope of his being removed from this vale of suffering to those realms of joy reserved for the good and
faithful who depart in the Lord.—A sincere friend who deeply laments his loss, humbly offers this small tribute to his memory.
