(Printed and Published by and for T.E.Dicey and W.Sutton)



Saturday, September 21st, 1805

Sunday and Tuesday's Posts.
From the LONDON GAZETTE.
WHITEHALL, Sept.14, 1805

THE King has been pleased to grant to his Royal Highness Frederick Duke of York and Albany, the office of Keeper of his Majesty's Forests and Warren of Windsor, and the office of Lieutenant of the same Forest; also to be Warden and Keeper of the New Forest, in the county of Southampton; and also of the Manor and Park of Lindhurst, and the Hundred of Rudbergh, in the room of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, deceased.




LONDON, September 17.

The gallant Lord Nelson arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday, and immediately hoisted his flag on board the Victory, in which ship his Lordship sailed on Sunday.- Admiral Thornborough is to hoist his flag on board the Kent, under the command of his Lordship.




NORTHAMPTON,
Saturday Evening, Sept. 21.

MARRIED.] On Monday se'nnight, Mr. John Hand, of Duddington, Lincolnshire, to Miss Close, of Collyweston, in this county.
On Tuesday last, Mr. Jonathan Sanders, farmer, of Newton-Bromshold, to Mary Higgins, of Wollaston, both in this county.
DIED.] On the 1st ult. at Widford, Hertfordshire, the Rev. Peter Ashton Hammond, rector of Widford, vicar of South-Mims, Middlesex, and chaplain to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
On Tuesday se'nnight, the Rev. Daniel Gaches, Vicar of Wootton-Wawen, and an active Magistrate for Warwickshire.
On Wednesday se'nnight, at Coventry, after a few days illness, Robert Reynolds, jun. Esq. of Wood-street, Cheapside, London.
Yesterday se'nnight, Mr. Joshua Crammond, of Huntingdon.
On Saturday last, at Castle-Ashby, near this town, in the 26th year of her age, Miss Ann Seagrave, fourth daughter of the Rev.Edw. Seagrave, rector of that place.
A few days since, at Diseworth, in Leicestershire, Mr.Sperrey, of that place. The cause that produced his death, presents an afflicting instance of the venomous power of wasps (which are represented to be uncommonly numerous this season) :- On Monday the 2d instant, one of these insects stung him in a vein on the back of one of his hands, and the poison intermingling with the blood, put a period to his existence the next day.
On Thursday last, Mr.Wm. Pilmuir, carpenter and joiner, of this town.

We understand the Oratorio of the Messiah will be performed at the approaching Musical Festival in Birmingham, upon a more extensive scale than at any former meeting, the Committee having procured the additional accompaniments as arranged by the great Mozart for a variety of instruments, which were imperfect and little used in the time of Handel. The addition of eight or nine parts to the score for wind instruments, by such a masterly hand as Mozart's, we think, cannot fail to greatly enrich the effect of the band, particularly in the sublime choruses.

On Sunday the 8th inst. was opened the organ in the Cathedral at Peterborough, after being thoroughly repaired by Mr.Rouse, organ-builder, of Oakham, which does him very great credit.

On Thursday se'nnight, the Marquis of Tavistock, and his brothers, Lords John and William Russell, Lord Alexander Gordon, and other young Noblemen, being on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bedford at Woburn Abbey, a cricket match was made for their amusement on the lawn, in front of the Abbey. Ten of his Grace's servants were matched against eleven of the young men of Woburn. Soon after eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the parties having refreshed themselves with bread and cheese and ale, in a large marquee pitched on the lawn for the purpose, they set to and exhibited much good play. The game continued to be keenly contested until near five o'clock, when victory, which had been hitherto doubtful, declared in favour of his Grace's servants. The Duke and Duchess, Lord Sackville, and several other persons of distinction, were spectators during a great part of the time. At the conclusion of the game, the Marquis and Lord Gordon retired for a short time to the Abbey to dress, and, on their return, sat down with the players to an excellent cold dinner, provided in the marquee: these young Noblemen afterwards spent the evening in the utmost pleasantry and harmony with their guests. The novelty of the scene drew a great concourse of persons round them after dinner, all of whom were regaled plentifully with his Grace's strong ale, cold meat, bread and cheese, &c.

The general price of cheese at our fair on Thursday, was from 56s. to 60s. per cwt.

Last week the High-Bailiff, attended by other officers, examined the weights of the various tradesmen, and the ale and beer measures of the publicans, in Birmingham; when nearly 500 pewter measures of various descriptions, and an almost incredible number of weights, from one ounce to 14lb. were seized and condemned, being under the standard.

Yesterday se'nnight, an inquisition was taken at Lavendon, in the county of Bucks, before one of the Coroners for that County, on view of the body of Mary Simcoe, who was found dead in a field adjoining the town. It appeared that the deceased was subject to fits, and happening to be seized with one while alone, she was strangled by a black ribbon, which she wore about her neck. Verdict - Died by the visitation of God.

A few days since, at Radborne, near Derby, a fire broke out in a cottage upon the common, in which were three children, the eldest only seven years old, who, we are sorry to state, were burned to death.- They were incautiously left alone, and it is supposed when the fire began they went up stairs for safety, and locked themselves in a room, where they were found burned to ashes.




ELEGY
On the Month of September,
When Partridges are allowed to be killed by Act of Parliament.

WHEN the still Night withdrew her sable shroud,
And left these climes with steps sedate and slow,
While sad Aurora, kerchief'd in a cloud,
With drizzly vapours hung the mountain's brow;
The wretched Bird, from hapless Perdix* sprung,
With trembling wings forsook the furrow'd plain,
And calling round her all her list'ning young,
In fault'ring accents sung this plaintive strain :-

Unwelcome Morn, full well they low'ring mien
Foretells the slaughter of th'approaching day;
The gloomy sky laments with tears the scene,
Where pale-ey'd Terror re-assumes her sway.

Ah ! luckless train ! ah ! fate-devoted race !
The dreadful tale experience tells, believe !
Dark heavy mists obscure the morning's face,
But blood and death shall close the dreary eve.

This day, fell man, whose unrelenting hate
No grief can soften, and no tears assuage,
Pours dire destruction on the feather'd state,
While pride and rapine urge his savage rage.

I, who so oft have 'scap'd th' impending snare,
Ere night arrives, may feel the fiery wound,
In giddy circles quit the realms of air,
And stain with steaming gore the dewy ground.

She said; when, lo ! the pointer winds his prey,
The rustling stubble gives the fear'd alarm;
The gunner views the covey fleet away.
And rears th' unerring tube with skilful arm.

In vain the mother heaves her whirling flight,
The leaden death arrests her as she flies !
Her scatter'd offspring skim before her sight,
And, bath'd in blood, she flutters, pants, and dies!

* Perdix was supposed to be turned into a partridge' - See Ovid's Metamorphoses.




SARAH ABBOTT,
Widow of the late THOMAS ABBOTT,

BEGS Leave to inform the Public, that she continues the Business of her late Husband in the WINE and LIQUOR TRADE, and having the same Support of Capital and Connection that her late Husband had, she assures those who please to favour her with their Commands, that they may rely on being supplied with articles of the very first Quality. By having none but the best Liquors (which she is determined to sell at the lowest Price possible), an unremitting Attention to Business, and trusting to a generous Public, she is in hopes to be able to bring up her large Family, notwithstanding the Opposition lately set against her.
