Saturday, February 22nd, 1812

Comfort for Convivial Souls. - A late traveller who has given a very interesting account of the Death of the celebrated Prison Howard, informs us, that, when on his death-bed, he said to Admiral Priestman, who kindly attended him - "I am aware I have but a short time to live; my mode of life has rendered it impossible that I should get rid of this fever. If I had lived as you do, eating heartily of animal food, and drinking wine, I might perhaps, by diminishing my diet, be able to subdue it. But how can such a man as I am lower his diet, who has been accustomed for years to exist on vegetables and water, a little bread and a little tea ? I have no method of lowering my nourishment, and, therefore, I must die. It is such jolly fellows as you, Priestman, who get over these fevers !" - The Correspondent at whose request this anecdote is inserted, hopes that his fellow citizens will take warning, and, on all public occasions, avoid vegetables and water !

Yesterday morning, Mr.T.Marriot, master of the Bull-and-Butcher public house, in this town.

Awful and melancholy Visitation. - On Tuesday the 28th of January, at Bristol Hot Wells, after a lingering illness of more than two years' continuance, Anne Bowerbank, aged 26; and on Sunday evening, the 9th instant, at the house of her brother, the Rev.T.F.Bowerbank, Vicar of Chiswick, Isabel Bowerbank, only surviving sister, aged 22; following their youngest brother Edward, aged 23, and their sister Mary, aged 24, to the grave within the short period of ten months - The circumstances attending the deaths of these four young persons are very remarkable and most awfully impressive. - Their brother Edward arrived from India, labouring under a deep consumption : his sister Mary came from Bristol to see him at Chiswick, but would not be persuaded of his danger, until she had heard the decided opinion of the medical attendants to an indifferent person, for which purpose she concealed herself behind the curtain. "Now" said she, "I am satisfied - I hope I shall not survive him." She was taken ill the next morning, and after 12 days, died, preceding the object of her tender solicitude to the grave by exactly a month. - Similar, but more awful has been the fate of poor Isabel.- For several months past it had been her repeated declaration, both by letter and words, that anxious as she might be to have health and strength to administer to the comforts of her lingering sister, yet, as soon as the scene of her sufferings should close, life would become indifferent to herself. How inscrutable are the ways of Providence. On Wednesday the 5th instant her sister was buried. On Friday she accompanied her brother to Chiswick, where she arrived without the least fatigue on Saturday. On Sunday, after a few hours of apparently trifling indisposition, from which she appeared to be fast recovering, in the act of taking some refreshment, she raised her eyes, and, without the least change of feature or posture, immediately expired ! - They were four of the six children of the late Rev.Edward Bowerbank, Rector of Croft and Barningham, in the county of York, and Prebendary of Lincoln

To the Printers of the Northampton Mercury

Sirs, - By inserting in your widely circulated Paper the following inscription to the memory of the late J.N.Newman, Esq. Captain of his Majesty's ship Hero, intended for the Cenotaph to be erected in the Church of Preston Deanry, in this county, you will oblige a very old friend of the Newman family, and your sincere humble servant.
Amicus. February 2d, 1812.

Reader,
Within these consecrated Walls
This Marble Tablet
(With Tribute that is due)
Is inscribed to the Memory of
James Newman Newman, Esq. of the Royal Navy,
Captain of his Majesty's Ship "Hero,"
Of seventy-four Guns.
Wreck'd on the XXIV Dec. M.DCCC.XI,
Upon the Haak Sands, off the Texel Island,
And every Soul on Board perished ! !

He was the Son of Charles Newman, Esq.
Of Preston-Deanry, in the County of Northampton,
And of Esther his Wife, who was
Niece of the late Sir John Langham, Bart. of the same
County.

He has left an aged Father to lament the Loss of a
beloved Son
In the prime of Life;
An affectionate Wife to bewail the Death
Of an excellent Husband;
And his Country to regret as they regard
The Loss of a good and gallant Officer.

He was a Man amiable in the highest Degree in Disposition,
And estimable in every Relation of Life.

Henry Frederick Compton Cavendish, Esq. is returned to serve in Parliament, for the Borough of Derby, in the room of Wm.Cavendish, Esq. deceased.

Last Sunday afternoon a most impressive and appropriate sermon was preached at Peterborough, by the Rev.Mr.Pratt, the vicar, in aid of the excellent institution for providing the army and navy with Bibles and Testaments, called the "Naval and Army Bible Society." - A collection was made at the church doors after the sermon, which, with benefactions since received, amounted to �40.

A subscription has been opened at Oxford for the relief of the widows and orphans of the crews lost in the St.George, Defence, &c.

William Burton, of Spaldwick, carpenter, was convicted before the magistrates at Huntingdon, on Saturday last, for shooting a hare in the manor of Easton, and ordered to be imprisoned for three months, or until he shall pay the penalty of �5.

On Tuesday last, the Stirling Militia marched into Leicester, where they are to be stationed for the present; in passing through Harborough, the proprietors of two-waggons, which were order for their conveyance, were fined five pounds each, in consequence of not attending by the time ordered.

On Sunday last the Serjeant Major of the South Devon Militia, passing through Leicester, with the regiment, was found dead by the side of his comrade in bed, without evincing any previous indisposition; he was buried the next day with full military honours.

On Wednesday se'nnight, the coachman of the Leicester Accommodation Coach, was convicted at Nottingham in a penalty of �10, for carrying more outside passengers than allowed by Act of Parliament. The Coachman of the Derby and Nottingham Mail Coach was also convicted in a penalty of �15, for a like offence.
On Wednesday morning last, the Defiance stage coach was overturned within a few yards of the Swans inn, in Market-Harborough, which was occasioned by the off fore wheel coming off (the linch-pin being shook out); the passengers happily escaped without injury, but the guard unfortunately had one of his legs fractured by the accident.

A cow was on Sunday last choaked at Wellingborough, in this county, by a large turnip. She appeared dying, when a farrier was called in; who, after trying several expedients without effect, cut it out, by opening an orifice in the animal's throat, four inches and a half long - between the great artery and wind-pipe. When the knife entered the passage, a gust of wind issued out which relieved her, and she is now in fair way of doing well.

Horrid Murder - On Monday evening the 10th inst. about half past seven o'clock, as Mr.Joseph Mycock, a respectable farmer of Slate House, in the parish of Ilam, near Ashborne, was sitting by his fire side with his wife and two women servants in the same room, some villain fired a gun loaded with two balls through the window, and shot Mr.M. in the right side, and caused instant death. No clue has been yet discovered that is likely to lead to the detection of the perpetrator of this horrid deed.

Thursday night some rogues attempted to break into the house of S.Eaton, Esq. of Dean. - They broke the kitchen window, and forced open the shutter, but were prevented entering the house by a pointer dog. - This is the third attempt within this month.

On the evening of Saturday last, an outrage, distinguished by the most brutal cruelty, was perpetrated on a serjeant of the West Essex militia, now lying at Norman Cross Barracks, by three men belonging to the West York. The unfortunate man had excited the ill will of these men, by detecting them in the straw-plat trade, which is prohibited. In consequence of this, they waylaid him between Stilton and Norman Cross, seized hold of his tougue, and by violently beating him below the chin, so dreadfully lacerated it, that the poor fellow has remained ever since speechless, and it is thought will never regain his speech. The robbed him of about 19s and beat him in other part of the body. That they intended murder is evident. The perpetrators are known, and strict search is made after them. Great fears are entertained for the Serjeant's life.

Nottingham, Feb.14 - We have the heartfelt satisfaction of being enabled to state, that all is again quiet in the vicinity of this town; and we sincerely hope, that the tranquillity which now reigns will prove permanent, and that no further interruption of the public peace will again occur. - We understand, however, that one frame was broken at Hucknall on Monday night last. - Since writing the above, an account has been brought to our office, that two more frames were destroyed at Hucknall last night, one of which was carried away and thrown in some water. - Two troops of the 13th hussars marched from hence on Monday for Leeds. - A great part of the Buckingham, or King's Own regiment of Militia, are now cantoned in the different villages in this neighbourhood.
