Some Selected Reports from The Bolton Express

Saturday, July 3, 1823.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THERE are no occasions upon which individuals feel more embarrassment, than when they are obliged to introduce themselves, to the first time, to the notice of persons for whom they entertain a real and reasonable respect.- There is something offensive to one's sensibility in talking of one's self, and yet there is no other topic which the occasion permits to be touched upon. This embarrassment, although it is in some measure diminished, nevertheless exists in our own case at the present moment. Armed as we are with editorial authority, and losing our individual character in the swollen importance of the "plural unit," we cannot but feel, that in addressing for the first time, the Readers of the BOLTON EXPRESS, we are speaking to persons whose patronage and good opinion our future success is to depend; and that it is by merit alone that we can hope first to gain, and then to keep, that patronage and that good opinion. To endeavour to do this, then, will be the end and aim of all our labours; to engage on our side the favourable co-operation of those "whose just applause is fame," will be our pride, as it must be our reward.
We feel it necessary in the first place to state, that the means by which we shall endeavour to accomplish this end, will be by a firm adherence to the principles of the British Constitution in its purity. Bound to no party but that of the honest and sincere, who have the good of their country at heart, and who do not fear, through evil and through good report, to avow themselves - opposed to no party but that of the factious and the wicked, who seek their own base advantage in disturbance, and to whom the wrecks of the good order would be a glorious prize. - We shall pursue our way forward and fearlessly, even at the hazard, being

By Tories called a Whig, by Whigs a Tory.

Our endeavours will always be directed to point out the worthy attempts which are made to protect our Country in its independence, its integrity, and its happiness; and it will be our duty to hold up to the contempt and hatred which they merit, the attempts of those modern politicians who style themselves liberal, with as little truth and modesty as the French incendiary writers of the last century called themselves philosophers.
The interests of that part of the County in which we live, will claim our attention; and as in this respect, zeal and diligence are the best qualifications, we trust we do not assume too much, when we assure our readers that we will give no cause for withholding their encouragement.
The haste in which newspapers are of necessity prepared for the public eye, is often the inevitable cause of many inaccuracies; the time which is requisite for correction and reflection cannot be afforded; but, while we put this forward as a claim to the indulgence of our readers, we do not mean to use it as a pretext for avoiding that responsibility which must attach to us, not to excuse any want of proper care. We request them only to remember, that many disadvantages must attend this haste, and that we have to struggle with all the additional inconveniences of a new enterprise.
In our desire to communicate information, we shall not forget that we are expected to afford amusement also -- the world is one at which we must laugh, or be angry -- While our graver labours are directed to reforming what is wrong, we shall not lose the opportunity of setting before our readers whatever we think may contribute to their mirth or amusement. If it be true, as Fielding said of a Novelist, that he is like the keeper of a tavern, who has to set before his customers a varied report, in which something may be found to suit every palate, it is much more necessary that the conductors of a newspaper should possess the same quality. Nothing can be more universal than the reading of newspapers. They have become almost a necessary of life; their contents equally interest every class of society, and there does not live a man who ought not (if he does not) to read them. It is obvious, therefore, that a journal should be adapted so as to afford some palatable enjoyment to every description of persons; and with this view, while politicians shall find the substantial food which they love -- the manufacturers and the merchants, that which suits their respective palates - and the agriculturalists, a congenial repast for their growing hopes - the less serious of our guests shall not be without a regale to their own particular taste. Little entremets of fashion, and hors-d'oeuvres of literature, and the fine arts, shall garnish forth our feast; and our endeavour shall be, that no guest shall visit our table, without at least finding some dish dressed to their fancy. For ladies and gentlemen, for grave and gay, for rich and poor, for wise and unlearned, we shall be the careful caterers.- And do not let our readers think that we promise too much; all this, let them remember is not to come from our own unassisted stores - the world is full of these things, and our business will be only to collect them. We shall have to present our friends with a nosegay, in which there will be little more of our own than the ribbon which shall tie them; but if the composition be agreeable, and any taste be displayed in the selection, will it be too much for us to ask our share of praise ?
Sancho Panza is of opinion that "words butter no parsnips." -- We are sure no of ours can persuade our readers that our viands are palatable, or our flowers sweet-smelling, unless their own judgment agrees with our assertion. Without further preface, then, we invite them to fall to; we have told them of what our bill-of-fare is to consist -- we now ask them to taste and try the banquet. If they like it, we pray them not to spare it, for they can give us no greater proof of their regard then by the quantity which they consume. Humbly trusting that they will approve of it, we beg to inform them, that it will be repeated every Saturday; and, in the phrase of the Innkeepers, we hope, that strict attention and moderate charges may ensure their patronage and support. We now, very respectfully, make our bow, until the next week shall present us with new dishes, and bring our friends with renovated appetites.

Micsellaneous.

On Tuesday the 1st instant, was held at Warrington, the usual Meeting of those Clergymen and Laity who contribute to the Charitable Institution there established, for the Relief of the distressed Widows and Orphans of deceased Clergymen. A very gratifying report of the state of the Society's Funds was submitted by the Secretary, Mr. Rawstorne, and nearly a thousand pounds distributed among the interesting dependents upon its bounty. The peculiar claims of this Institution upon the public for its support, were ably pleaded by the Rev. Mr. Houghton, in a feeling and eloquent discourse; and we feel convinced that were they more generally known, they would ensure a considerable addition to the list of Annual Subscribers. Our worthy Bishop, whose attention to the Interests of the Society has been unremitting, was unfortunately prevented from giving it this year the Benefit of his personal attendance; several others of its most active supporters were detained in London by their parliamentary duties. Mr. Horton, the Vicar of Ormskirk, gave notice of a motion, the object of which was to alternate the Meetings of the Institution between the Towns of Manchester, Liverpool and Warrington. We should be glad to see this carried into effect, as we think it would tend materially to increase its income, by bringing before the immediate notice, the opulent Inhabitants of the two former Towns, the distresses of a class of their fellow Creatures, whose claims upon the justice as well as the benevolence of the Public are exceeded by no other whatsoever.

Domestic Intelligence.

SESSIONS ROOM, BOLTON, Monday, 30th June; present, Colonel Fletcher, Major Watkins, and Joseph Ridgway, Esq:- About 300 pensioners were sworn to their affidavits.-- Betty Hope, single-woman, of West-Houghton, filiated a bastard child upon Thomas Watkinson of the same place. The man stated himself to be fourscore years of age, which circumstance, together with his earnest, though ludicrous professions of innocence, excited considerable interest on hearing the case.- The Magistrates made an order upon him of 1s a week.-- Joseph Lee, a Ranting Preacher, was charged with swearing and drunkenness; when brought up he was in a state of intoxication; the Magistrates, therefore, ordered the case to be heard on Monday next; for which day he was summoned.

On Saturday sennight, the Bolton cavalry, under the command of Captain Kearsley, returned from Blackpool, having performed the usual duty of eight days. The martial appearance of the corps, and the high state of discipline, both of the men and horses, does credit to the town. We are informed the troop are invited to a public dinner which will be given by the gentlemen of the town in the course of the month.

On Saturday week the Earl and Countess of Derby arrived at their seat, at Knowsley, from London. Lord Stanley arrived on Wednesday.

On Wednesday morning last, as three labourers were taking down scaffolding from a wall in one of the houses now building in Commercial-square, or new Market-place, in this town, and having removed, without sufficient caution, the supporters, the whole, on a sudden, gave way, and buried them in the ruins; one man received several severe contusions, and still continues at the Dispensary; the other two have not received any material injury.

RINGING.-- An invitation having been given by the Bolton Ringers to those of the Collegiate Church, Manchester, a select band from the latter assembled at the Parish Church, Bolton, on Monday week, and rang a true and complete peal, composed of 6,000 bob-major changes, in three hours and thirty-four minutes; being the first peal in that method rung on these bells. It was allowed by the many professors of this difficult art, who were present on the occasion, that the changes were admirably struck, and the bells nobly brought round.

NOVELTY- We feel great pleasure in announcing to our readers, that Mr. Stebbing, Manager of the New Circus, Salford, intends to perform for a few nights at the theatre in out town. From the selection of talent this gentleman has made in forming his company, in which we remark the names of Mr. Cunningham, Signora Ferzi, and Monsieur Parsloe, the celebrated French clown, from the Adelphi Theatre, London, we are sure this intelligence will be highly pleasing to the amateurs of Olympic performances in our town and neighbourhood.

The Oldham Troop of Cavalry, under the command of Captain Taylor, returned home on Thursday week, after having completed eight days permanent duty at Wigan.

SUICIDE--- On Tuesday last, a poor old man, named Richard Young, residing in Commission-road, Bolton-moor, attempted to drown himself in a pit not far from his door; being observed, he was instantly rescued from his perilous situation : during the night, however, he left his bed, went down stairs, and cut his throat so dreadfully that he instantly expired. He had been in an infirm state of health, and in a desponding state of mind for several years past.

On Tuesday last, an inquest was held at the Bridge Inn, Salford, on the body of James Grimshaw, who, in the preceding Friday, had been apprehended on a charge of embezzling property belonging to his employer, Mr. Pilling, Fountain-street, Manchester, and remanded by T. Norris, Esq to yesterday, to wait for further evidence.- It appeared that since his apprehension, he had laboured under the greatest dejection of spirits, and that on Sunday morning, when one of the Keepers of the prison entered his cell, he found him dead. -- Verdict - Visitations of God -- He has left a wife and two children to lament his untimely end.

The admirers of the typographic art are respectfully informed, that the whole of our Newspaper Type has been selected from Thorowgood's old established Foundry, (late Thorne, Fann-street, London.)

The activity and increase of the cotton manufacturers of this country are at present surprising. The week before last, there were sold at Liverpool 16,000 bags of cotton, and, in the previous week, 25,000. Goods are brought up in the manufacturing districts of England as soon as manufactured. About 70 new cotton mills have been built, or are building in this county.

On Tuesday sennight, as some workmen were employed at the New Quay, Water-street, Manchester, hewing the rock in the river, for the purpose of rendering it of sufficient depth to admit Messrs. Brettargh & Co.'s flats up to quay, they found a frog alive in the solid stone, four feet from the surface of the rock (which was two feet under water) and about four feet from the bank. It did not, as is usual with reptiles found in such situations, die on being exposed to the air, but is still living.

NATIONAL-SCHOOLS.- The half-yearly examination of the children educated in the National School, Preston, took place on Thursday last, in the School-Room, before some of the Patrons of the Institution, who expressed themselves highly gratified at the proficiency which many of the children had attained, through the exertions of their Superintendant.

HEDGEHOG-- In the latter part of last month, as Mr. John Relph, of Isell, Cumberland, was walking in the Park, a short distance from his house, he heard a screeching noise, and on repairing to the spot from whence the sound proceeded, he observed a hedgehog in the act of killing a hare. Mr. Ralph released poor puss from the fangs of the ferocious animal, and took it home, but it died soon afterwards.- Sporting Gazette.

MAD DOGS.-- A horse, belonging to a farmer, at Harewood-Lee, was bit by a dog, supposed to be mad, (about a month ago), and although the part was immediately cut out by a Farrier, the owner was obliged to have it destroyed on Monday last.

ITINERANT INFIDEL.-- This is certainly the age of impudent imposture, as well as daring infidelity. On Saturday last, a German Jew, styling himself "PROFESSOR of Oriental Literature," called on our office, with a view to have some hand-bills printed -- announcing his intention of giving two Lectures on the "Mistranslation of the Old and New Testament." Convinced from two words, that he was Tom Paine in politics, and an Unitarian in religion, we rejected the job, and sent him to the right-about without any attempt at ceremony. However having got his bills struck off by a printer who did not on the instant discover their dark and hidden tendency, he commenced the distribution of them at a late hour on Saturday night, but had not proceeded far when he was attacked at the OLD BULL, and given to understand that Blackburn is the worst market in England for Traders in treason and blasphemy. We have just learnt, that this distinguished PROFESSOR, played off the game of Lectureship at Bolton, under the patronage of the tribes of Levi and Grundy.-- But we think it right to tell him, and all other impudent impostors, that Blackburn is not a Theatre for their tricks and quirks; and although we are not severe upon such poor vagrants as carry ballads, or bundles of matches, we shall never entertain compassion for those Itinerant Infidels, who, in order to appear to have some colour for steering clear from the fangs of the Constable, dub themselves PROFESSORS, and get a livelihood at the expense of the morals and manners of the community. To give some idea of the extent of this PROFESSORS impudence, we annex the first paragraph of his prospectus --- "In the first Lecture" he says, "he will shew that the ENGLISH as well as the GREEK TRANSLATION of the Bible, in many instances, does not convey EITHER the MEANING or SPIRIT of the Original. That not only has the English FAILED to convey the meaning of the Hebrew, but even the Septuagint has most materially fallen short of the spirit and real meaning of the original; in proof of which he will compare various essential passages from the Greek and English translations with the Hebrew text, and explain them, and quote the Chaldaic and Syriac Versions." -- Was ever impudence carried to so excessive a summit ? To the honour of Blackburn, this impudence was instantly understood and chastised. The Professor met with neither encouragement nor accommodation, and received a gentle hint that the Vagrant Act would be applied to him if he did not speedily decamp. -- Blackburn Mail.

SOUTHPORT - We think it will be generally acceptable to our friends, to give a short account of this favourite watering place.- Those who remember what that neighbourhood was twenty years ago, cannot think of the change which has taken place there, without pleasure. Instead of a few mean fishermen's huts, and a native population, sadly neglected, and almost unknown, - is now seen a neat village, extending nearly a mile in length, and capable of affording comfortable accommodation to more than a thousand residents and visitors. For several years there has been a gradual improvement in this place, in almost every thing which can add to the comfort of the families and individuals who pay their visits there, either for health or recreation. When it is remembered what the roads were a few years ago, and considered that there is not a turnpike gate from Swinton near Manchester to Southport, there cannot not now reasonably be much complaint on this subject. Instead of one small public house, which some of us well remember, there are now three good inns, besides livery-stables; and those who wish to avoid the necessary bustle of an inn, may now have their choice from ten to twelve excellent lodging houses. There are about on hundred neat cottages for families, generally well furnished, from a guinea a week to 4 or 5 pounds; and here may be seen among the numerous and respectable families now there, nearly all the comforts of home, with all the advantages of a country residence, and a salubrious watering place. Of the last interesting fact, the renewed health and strength of many hundreds bear testimony every year. Nor should it be forgotten, that the fine and deep sands, too much complained of, contribute to this, under their great Creator, in no small degree. Two years ago, a Church was built for the accommodation of visitors, and a dissenting minister who resides in the parish preaches at Southport every Lord's day, in a temporary erection, called the Tabernacle. Land has been granted by Robert Hesketh, Esq for a more permanent building, which will be completed this summer. Nor should we by any means omit to mention, in this brief statement, the kind attention which is paid to the poor of the place. The Southport Strangers Charity for the benefit of the poor, which amounts to �400 per annum, is raised by the benevolent persons who visit this place. A neat dispensary has been recently built for the accommodation of the patients - Surgeons attend to the patients gratis. There the pleasing sight may be witnessed every week, of 50 or 60 poor persons (who generally remain 3 weeks) enjoying all the advantages of a watering place, the warm bath not excepted. We are informed that the late Thomas Ridgway, Esq of Horwich, is revered as the father of this excellent institution.

To the Editor of the Bolton Express

SIR, - Permit me, through the medium of your Paper, to point out to the notice of the proper authorities, a nuisance which has too long been unremedied. Near the Primitive Methodist Chapel, and in a line with the intended new road to Liverpool, the ground has been broken up, I suppose with an intention of building a house : it is now three or four months since this has been done, and yet it still lies open, and not built upon - The person, not content with sinking for a foundation in a line with the adjacent houses, (which, of itself, would have been dangerous), has actually opened the ground the whole length of the foot path, about two yard in length, along the path (for a coal cellar, I believe,) so that persons, in the dark, going that way, if unacquainted with the circumstance, will of necessity fall into this hole, even if they do not deviate from the regular path, and step into the ground opened for the body of the house. This is no imaginary grievance; for my wife, ignorant of the ground being opened, had the misfortune, a fortnight ago, to fall into the hole in the pathway, and was severely bruised by the fall. Many other people, I have heard, have also been sufferers - I trust this notice, if it does not cause the person interested to cover up the place without the interference of the Town's Officers, that it will at least excite those Gentlemen to remove the nuisance.

ATKINSON & BARKER'S
INFANT'S PRESERVATIVE.

THIS Medicine has been prepared and sold by the Proprietors near thirty years, during which time it has obtained so high a reputation, from recommendations alone, as to be used by almost every family in Lancashire and the neighbouring counties. The best possible eulogium on the medicine is the fact, that the sale is extended to more than fifteen thousand annually. The Infant's Preservative was originally intended as an antidote to those pernicious medicines for children which have laudanum for their chief and only active ingredient : its success has fully answered the intent. It is a pleasant, innocent, and efficacious carminative, intended as a preventative against, and a cure for, those complaints to which infants are liable, as affections of the bowels, difficult teething, convulsions, rickets, &c, and an admirable assistant to nature, during the progress of the hooping cough, the measles, and he cow-pock, or vaccine innoculation. Please to observe, that each bottle of the genuine preparation has the signature of "ATKINSON and BARKER" on the label affixed to the bottle; any other not so prepared or signed is not the genuine Preservative, but a spurious imitation. It may be had at their Shop, No 1, Market-place, Manchester; Mr. Gardner, and Mr. Yates, Booksellers, Bolton; Mr Sims, Mr. Hodgkinson, and Mrs. Holme, Druggists, also of Mr. J. Lomax, Advertiser-Office, Stockport; and by the most respectable medicine venders in the kingdom; in bottles at 1s 1 1/2d, 2s. 9d, and 4s. 6d each, duty included.
