[continued] 

 

At Workington, Mrs. SPARKS, aged 86. 

 

At Dovenby, Mr. Thomas RICHARDSON, aged 73. 

 

At Whitehaven, Mr. M. ATKINSON, Scotch-st., 53: Mr. G. HILTON, New-street, 76.-At Cargate, Mr. Jas. NICHOLSON, one of the Society of
Friends. [According to the Quaker Burial Register, James NICHOLSON of Cart Gate, Whitehaven, aged 64, Ship Owner, not in membership,
died 16 Feb 1824.] 

 

At Unerigg, near Maryport, on Thursday last, Mrs. Elizabeth JOHNSTON, aged 72 years. 

 

At Langholm, on the 14th inst. Mr. Jas. EASTON, 79. 

 

On the 17th inst. in the prime of life, Mr. Richard BOWNESS, hosier, of Kendal. 

 

At Milnthorp, Mr. James ROSE, aged 73, coachman to Daniel WILSON, Esq. of Dallam Tower, for upwards of 40 years. 

 

At Park House, near Millthorp, Mr. Thos. WATSON. 

 

At Ulverston, Mr. Geoffrey MASHITER, aged 82; a very eccentric character, who has left a daughter, after being inseparable
companions through life, no less eccentric. 

 

At Linacre, of a rapid deline [sic], in the 21st year of his age, Mr. John BRODICK, formerly of Orton, Westmorland. 

 

Suddenly, at Maxwelltown, Lieutenant Anthony JAQUES, of the Royal Navy. 

 

At Dumfries, Isabella, relict of the late Mr. W. RICHARDSON, of the old brewery.-Mr. W. M'GUFFOCK, a respectable ship-master. 

 

Suddenly, while at dinner, at Dumfries fair, Mr. John HENDERSON, horse-dealer, of Glenmids, near Keir, aged 60. His transition from
life to death was so sudden as scarcely to impress the minds of the beholders with the idea of so portentous a change taking place,
till the lifeless corpse extended before them, demonstrated that all was over; a livid paleness overspread his countenance; his eyes
closed with a slow and involuntary motion, the knife and fork dropt from his hands, and he expired in a few moments without a
struggle, and apparently without pain. 

 

On Sunday, in London, Mr. John DAVY, the eminent musical composer, aged 59. 

 

A few days ago, at Sneed Park, near Bristol, Geo. Webb HALL, Esq., well known to algriculturists as a strenuous advocate of
prohibition duties on landed produce. He was riding along the road in his neighbourhood, at a trot, when his horse fell, and his
face coming in contact with the ground, the concussion produced locked jaw, and ultimately death. He was a man of great talent;
though many of his views were ill-founded. 

 

Lately, at Crookhaven, Cork, Mrs. C. DONOVAN, widow, 105. In Glostershire, Mary JONES, 104. In the parish of Ruabon, Dolly JONES,
101: she never drank tea in her life, and gave birth to 14 children. At Plymouth, John BRENNER, 105. He was at the battle of
Colloden in 1746, and assisted in firing salutes on the accession of Kings George II., III., and IV. 

 

On the night of the 25th August last, Mr. John STEVENSON, a native of the parish of Melrose, Roxburghshire, and one of the
proprietors of the Guiana Chronicle, George Town, Demerara. He lost his life by an accident that befel him on the river Oronoco. 

 

On the 24th ult., at his lodgings in Paris, the Rev. Richard HAYES, of the Order of St. Francis, who rendered himself so
conspicuous, a few years ago, in the Catholic discussion on the Veto. 

 

At Greenock, on the 11th inst., the well know Alexder [sic] CUTHILL, comedian, aged 78. He was for many years manager of nearly the
whole of the provincial theatres in the north of England (including that of Carlisle, where he was universally known as the 'gallant
and gay Lothario'); and was the means of bringing into notice several persons who have since distinguished themselves, among whom
was the late celebrated COOKE. He was very unfortunate in some of his speculations; and lost a considerable sum of money by building
a theatre at Newcastle. The reader will probably remember various anecdotes relating to him which were published on the authority of
Mr. RYLEY, author of the Itinerant, who was instrumental in having him removed from his wretched abode in a glass-house, at Glasgow,
where he had lived for 15 years, during which he had scarcely ever been in a bed. For the last two years of his life he has resided
in Greenock.
