Some Selected Reports from the Dublin Evening Post
Thursday January 6, 1803
THE KESWICK IMPOSTOR.
In a former paper we published half of an account of the arrival of Hatfield at the Lakes of Cumberland, and his proceedings there. The first part left off with an account of his having offered marriage to a young lady of rank and fortune at Keswick, whose friends making the necessary enquiries, he then offered his hand to Mary Robinson, of Buttermere. The narrative proceeds;
In the first account, were these words: "He paid his addresses to a lady of youth, beauty, and good fortune, and obtained her consent. The wedding clothes were bought, and the day fixed for their marriage, &c." Of this every circumstance is true but the last. This, however, is a very important one; and being false, it is fit and necessary that it should be contradicted, in justice both to the young lady, and to the respectable character under whole protection she resides. The day was not fixed; previously to its being fixed, she had persisted in insisting that the pretended Col. Hope should introduce the subject formally to her friend. He was hourly expected to do so, and the gentleman was prepared to have required, that "Colonel Hope's enthusiasm should not seduce him into an impropriety. They were strangers to each other. He must beg that Col. Hope would write to certain Noblemen and Gent. both in Ireland and England, whose names and addresses he would furnish him with, and obtain from them every necessary information respecting himself and the young lady under his protection. As some days would elapse before any answer could be received, he proposed to employ that time in a trip to Lord Hopetoun's seat," &c. This is known from the best possible authority, to have been the gentleman's intentions; and our adventurer knew it likewise; and this knowledge determined and precipated his public marriage with Mary of Buttermere. Experience teaches us, that even among old family friends, the forms and etiquette appropriate to their rank in society cannot be neglected without danger; but among sudden circumstances and such friends they are of absolute necessity, and none but fools or sharpers affect to despise them. - Miss --- will, Ia am well assured, reflect with grateful heart on those forms, the adherence to which plucked her back from the brink of an abyss of misery; and her friends, and the public, will give her credit for the good sense and virtue which determined her to adhere to them.
Our Adventurer, well aware that perseverance in his pursuit would inevitably lead to his detection, applied himself wholly to gain possession of Mary Robinson's person. He made the most assiduous enquires among the neighbours into every circumstrance relating to her and to her family; and declared his resolution to marry her publicly at her parish church by a licence.
Mary told him, that she was not ignorant that he paid his addresses to Miss --, a match every way more proportionate. This he treated as a mere venial artifice, to excite her jealousy -- in part, perhaps, an effect of despair, in consequence of Mary's repeated refusal. The conclusion is already well known.
The pretended Colonel Hope, in company with the Clergyman, procured a licence on the 1st of October, and they were publicly married in the church of Lorton, on Saturday, October 2. Is there on earth that prude or that bigot, who can blame poor Mary ? She had given her lover the best reasons to esteem her, and had earned a rational love , by innocence and wise conduct. Nor can it be doubted, that the man had really and deeply engaged her affections. He seems to have fascinated everyone in all ranks of society; and if Mary had remained an exception, it would have detracted more from her sensibility, than it would have added to her prudence. On the Friday our adventurer wrote to Mr.----, informing him that he was under the necessity of being absent for ten days on a journey into Scotland, and sent him a draft for �30. drawn on Mr. Crump, of Liverpool, desiring him to cash it, and pay some small debts in Keswick with it, and send him over the balance, as he feared he might be short of cash on the road. This Mr.--- immediately did, and sent him ten guineas in addition to the balance. On the Saturday, Wood, the landlord of the Queen's Head, returned from London with the positive intelligence that Colonel Hope had married the Beauty of Buttermere. As it was clear that, whoever he was, he had acted unworthily and dishonourably, Mr.--'s suspicions were, of course, awakened. He instantly remitted the draft to Mr. Crump, who immediately accepted it ; and at least ninety-nine in a hundred of the people of Keswick were fully persuaded that he was a true man, and no cheat. Mr.M. however, immediately on this wrote to the Earl of Hopetoun. Before the answer arrived, the pretended Honourably returned with his wife to Buttermere. He went only as far as Longtown. He had bought Mary no clothes, pretending that on his arrival at the first large town they might be all procured in a few hours. A pair of gloves was the only present he made her. At Longtown he received two letters; seemed much troubled that some friends whom he expected had not arrived there - stayed three days, and then told his wife that he would again go back to Buttermere. From this time the was seized with fears and suspicions. They returned, however, and their return was made known at Keswick. A Mr. Harding, a Welsh Judge, and a very singular gentleman, passing through Keswick, heard of this adventurer, sent his servant over to Buttermere, with a note to the supposed Colonel Hope, who observed, that it was a mistake, and that the note was for a. brother of his. However he sent for four horses, and came over to Keswick, drew another draft on Mr. Crump, for �20. which the landlord of the Queen's Head (O the wise landlord) had the courage to cash. Of this sum he immediately sent ten guineas to Mr.------, who came and introduced to the judge, as his old friend, Colonel Hope. Our adventurer gave blank denial that he had ever assumed the name - and one who had been his frequent companion, his intimate, at Buttermere, gave evidence to the same purport - If I conceal this man's name, and his subsequent conduct, let him be thankful : he owes it in part to the respect which I bear his profession - But if his power of working misery approached as nearly as his baseness does to the wretch whose premises he had the wickedness and stupidity to be bribed by, my pity would not have justified me in thus hiding his name, and the particulars of his conduct, from the public, and his established superior: as it is, I leave him to the well merited contempt of his neighbours.
In spite, however, of the stammering lie of this worthy associate, the evidence against him was decisive; a warrant was given by Sir Frederick Vane, on the clear proof of his having forged and received several franks as the Member of Linlithgow, and he was committed to the care of the constable. The constable, as may be well supposed, was but little used to business of this kind; our adventurer affected to make light of the affair, laughed, threatened, &c. &c. and ordered a dinner at the Queen's Head at three o'clock. In the mean time he should amuse himself on the Lake, which the constable unsuspiciously permitted. He went out in a boat, accompanied by his old friend, the fishing tackler; and a little before three o'clock, a considerable number of inhabitants assembled at the foot of the lake waiting anxiously for his return and by far the greater part disposed to lead him back in triumph. If he was not this great man, they were sure that he would prove to be some other great man; but the dusk came on, neither the great man nor his guide appeared. Burkitt, as I believe I have informed you, had led him through the Gorge of Borendale, up through Rossthwaite, and so across the Stake, the fearful Alpine pass, which spreads over Glaramara into Langdale, and left him at Langdale Chapel - a tremendous journey in the dark ! but his neck was probably predestined to a less romantic fate. It will hardly be believed, how obstinately almost all classes at Keswick were infatuated in his favour, and how indignantly they spoke of the gentleman who had taken such prudent and prompt measures to bring the impostor to detection. The truth is, the good people of the Vales had as little heard, and possessed as little a notion, of the existence of this sort of wickedness as of the abominations of Tiberius and Capreas. -- "What motive could he have to marry poor Mary ? Would a sharper marry a poor girl without fortune or connection ? If he had married the Irish lady, there would be something to say for it;" &c. It was no doubt delightful to the people of the Vales, that so great a man, that a man so generous, so condescending, so affable, so very good, should have married one of their own class, and that to a young woman who had been so long their pride, and so much and so deservedly beloved by them. Their reasonings in the impostor's favour were, to be sure, very sufficient to counteract the evidence against him; yet of themselves they were not unplausible. It is a common blunder with those who know more of the world than the inhabitants of the Vales among the mountains can be supposed to know, to admit of no other passion, as the motive of crimes, except the love of money or of power. Our adventurer, in his rapid flight from Keswick, left behind him in his carriage a handsome dressing-box.- After the lapse of some days, and order was procured, from a neighbouring magistrate - the dressing-box was opened and searched. It contained a pair of very elegant pistols, and a complete assortment of toilet trinkets, all silver. The whole value of the box could not be less than �80. There were discovered only one letter, a cash-book, and the list of several cities in Italy, with a couple of names attached to each. From the cash-book nothing could be learned but that he had vested divers considerable sums (some stated to be on his own account), in the house of Baron Dimsdale and Company. But from the letter, aided by the list of towns, a marvellous story was extracted. The letter was said to be from an Irish banditti, urging this Col. Hope to escape with all possible speed, informing him that a price had been set on his head, and stating the writers eagerness to assist him, but that his wounds confined him to his bed. It was concluded therefore, that this pretended Col. Hope was a great leader in the Irish rebellion, and the only doubt which remained was, whether the name of the Italian towns in the list were meant for Italian towns at which different agents from the United Irishmen were residents, or whether they were only marks of conspiracy - names by convention for different towns and cities in Ireland. This list I never saw; but the letter was given me to read. More to my amusement than astonishment, I discovered it to be neither more or less than a grateful letter from a poor exciseman in Glenarm, who had escaped with his life from an overset boat, and to whom our adventurer had performed some acts of kindness, and made (according to his custom) many splendid promises. The writer appears to be a simple, honest, pious Scotchman, and an exceedingly loyal subject. That such a story should have been deduced from such a letter, and that too by four or five intelligent men, proves no more then they thoroughly expected to find something very wonderful - and what people thoroughly expect they are very apt to create. I venture to guess that blunders, as gross as this, have been made from the same cause, by other secret committees of higher functions, and on subjects of infinitely greater importance. For some days nothing else was discovered but a bill for �100 drawn on a Devonshire bank, which he had left behind him with Mary's father and mother - and with which they were to have paid off a mortgage on their small property.
I have already, I believe, mentioned, among the other villainous schemes of this merciless wretch, that he had attempted to persuade the old people to sell their little estate, to place the money in his hands, and go with him into Scotland. This bill proved to be an old bill that had been long paid, and (as will after appear) on his own bank.
We heard nothing more concerning the impostor until the 20th or 28th of October, when Mary Robinson discovered, at the bottom of a trunk, which had been left at Buttermere, a large mass of letters and papers. These she delivered to Mr.----, who, with his wife and the young lady under their protection, have behaved to poor Mary with kindness, tenderness and respect, which does infinite honour to their hearts and understandings. This mass of papers was afterwards put into my hands, and never surely did an equal number of letters disclose a thicker swarm of villainies perpetrated by one of the worst, and of miseries inflicted on one of the best of human beings.
The more interesting part of the story remains to be told. But my letter is already, I fear, almost too long for insertion; and what remains, deserves to be told in a higher tone, and with more excited feelings.
So extremely mild is the present weather in England, that the primroses in full blow, and birds nests, with nestlings fledged, were exposed for sale last Saturday in Covent Garden market.
On Christmas-day, there were a profusion of green peas, new potatoes, and ripe cherries, served up to his Majesty's table at Windsor.
PUBLIC OFFICE, BOW-STREET.
The notorious John Hatfield underwent his 4th examination on Monday, and entered the office his accustomed air of assured confidence and unembarrassed demeanour. Upon being put to the bar, with Fenwick, the Governor of Tothill-fields on his right hand, and a turnkey on his left, Sir Richard Ford addressed him as follows :
"Mr. Hatfield, you are now brought up to answer the fifth and last charges against you, viz. the Bigamy - I mean the false and base marriage you contracted with poor Mary of Buttermere, and a more vile transaction lives not in my remembrance. I have received a letter from you, written in an extraordinary stile of complaint as to aspersions thrown on your character; but notwithstanding the insinuation of your manner, and the probably superiority of your talents, which you have so basely prostituted, I shall persist in branding vice with the name of vice, wherever I meet with it, and it is the fullest conviction on my mind which induces me to tell you, Mr. Hatfield, that in my opinion a more infamous character then yourself never stood at that bar. Not content with basely imposing on the credulity of an innocent girl, and robbing her of the only jewel in her possession - an unspotted fame - you have, to pamper your own luxury, contracted a considerable debt with her poor aged parent, which, unless relieved by the hand of liberality will infallibly be his ruin."
Here Hatfield exclaimed with visible emotion - Not true ! and laying his right hand on his heart - Not true, upon my soul !
Sir Richard Ford -- It is true; and in confirmation of it, hear this from a respectable Magistrate of Keswick - "The villain has contracted a debt with the distressed father exceeding �18."
Hatfield - It is not true; and I entreat, Sir Richard, that I may not be thus devoured piecemeal. I solemnly declare, that I do not owe �10 in the whole county !
Sir Richard Ford -- Sir, your whole life has been one unexampled scene of villainy. I have my table covered with debts that you have fraudulently contracted, and I can trace you back thirty years. Do you remember this bill of �30 drawn on a respectable gentleman who is at present standing on your right hand, Captain Smith of the navy .[Capt.S. here observed, that he did mean to prefer it as a charge.]
Hatfield - I am sure that Capt. Smith will not say I meant to defraud him.
Capt. Smith - I know not what you mean by a fraud, but this I know, that the bill has not yet been paid.
Mr. Robinson - About 28 years ago you defrauded Mr. Noades, the silversmith.
Hatfield - Sir, I never knew him.
Mr. Robinson - I saw your signature to the bill.
Sir Richard Ford - Mr. Reeves, read this letter aloud, which I have received from poor Mary of Buttermere.
Universal silence prevailed - the auditors were full of expectation while Mr. Reeves read the letter.
[For this letter see last page].
The simplicity of this letter, coming from one who, though wounded in the most feeling manner, abstained from the severity of reproach, and tho' it breathed the soft murmur of complaint, yet was throughout remote from virulence, or abuse, excited in the breast of every person present, the sympathetic emotion of pity and respect for the unmerited sorrows of a female, who has manifested a delicacy of sentiment, and nobleness of mind, infinitely beyond her sphere of education. The feelings of Hatfield could not be enviable. He, however, exhibited no symptom of contrition for the unfortunate victim of his acts, but declared that he confessed the marriage, and, when remanded for further examination, retired with the most impenetrable composure.
POSTSCRIPT.
DUBLIN - THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1803.
THEATRE ROYAL.
TO-MORROW EVENING will be presented
the Drama of
THE CASTLE SPECTRE,
Osmond �.. Mr. HOLMAN
To which will be added, the celebrated new Pantomime, of
BRAZEN MASK.
On Saturday, the Tragedy of THE DISTRESSED MOTHER - Orestes, Mr. HOLMAN; Hermione, Mrs. SIDDONS
A CARD.
TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR.
The Inhabitants of Back-lane having witnessed, with the ware approbation which such a conduct must generally excite, the prompt interference of your Lordship to remove a nuisance in Peter-street, and, indeed, in every instance to discharge the important duties of your station with vigilance, firmness, and impartiality, beg leave to represent to your Lordship a very great grievance affecting them in the disgusting and almost pestiferous accumulations of filth at the entrance into Blackall-market, and in the passages communicating with High-street, being the offall from that market. They have, in vain, applied to the scavengers, who have refused to remove those heaps of putridity. In this state, the Inhabitants of Back-lane have no resource but in the exemplary vigour and impartiality of your Lordship's authority.
We have preceded the above appeal, with occasional observations on the evil complained of, and we feel confident that our truly worthy Lord Mayor will afford to the complainants all the redress which his authority can afford. It is not alone for the benefit of the individuals immediately affected that correction should interpose, but for the general health of this great City.- In proof of this we quote a celebrated Physician, who speaks but the opinion of the whole faculty.
"In many great towns, the streets are little better than dung-hills, frequently covered with nastiness of every kind. Even slaughter-houses, or killing shambles, are to be seen in the very centre of great towns. The putrid blood, excrements, &c. with which those places are generally covered, cannot fail to taint the air and render it unwholesome. How easily might this be prevented by active Magistrates, who have it always in their power to make proper laws relative to things of this nature, and to enforce the observance of them."
His Excellency has been pleased to appoint Hans Hamilton, of Sheep-hill, Esq; to be High Sheriff of the county of Dublin.
The Right. Hon. Thomas Steele and John Hiley Addington, Esq. have been appointed to the office of Paymaster-General of his Majesty's Forces.
Lord Glenbervie is appointed Ranger to his Majesty's Woods and Forests, in the room of John Robinson, Esq. deceased.
The King has been pleased to grant unto the Hon. John Wingfield, second son of Richard, late Visc. Powerscourt, dec. by Amelia his wife, daughter of John Stratford, and sister of Edw. Stratford, late Earls of Aldborough, also dec. his royal license, that he and his issue may take and use the surname of Stratford, in addition to the surname Wingfield, and also bear the arms of Stratford, quarterly with those of Wingfield, in compliance with an injunction contained in the last will of his said maternal uncle, Edward, late Earl of Aldborough.
We hear, from good authority, that by the death of the late Earl of Annesley, all his first Lady's estate, which is worth three thousand pounds a-year, is now in possession of Mrs. Arabella Jefferyes, relict of the late St. John Jefferyes, of Blasney Castle, in the county of Cork, Esq; and her Ladyship did by her will direct that Mrs. Jefferyes, upon getting possession of those estates, should take the name of Grove - her Ladyship's own name was Grove - she was the cousin-german of Mrs. Jefferyes. Upon her marriage with Lord Annesley, she reserved to herself the power of disposing of her own estates by will, and her Ladyship exercised that power in favour of her kinswoman, Mrs. Jefferyes, with whose excellent and amiable qualities she was well acquainted.
On Friday last, a ball and supper were given at the Exchange-rooms, Belfast, by Captain Hay, of the late 23d light dragoons, at which 140 persons were present. The ball was opened at 10 o'clock, by the Marchioness of Donegall and Capt. Hay - The company broke up at four o'clock in the morning, much pleased with their entertainment.
On Friday night, or early on Saturday morning, a most daring robbery was committed in Waterford, in the stables of Wm. Perceval, Esq in Spring Garden Alley. The stable door was forced by some villains, who took away a very valuable horse and mare - Dainty Davy and Duchess - together with two excellent bridles and saddles. The robbers knowing that the huntsmen of the Merry Harrier Club lay in with the hounds on the opposite side of the lane, very discreetly spread litter on it, to prevent disturbance. Two men well mounted were seen crossing the bridge at two o'clock on Saturday morning, and, we hear, about two miles beyond Piltown, with a mare and a horse, answering the description.
CLONSKEAGH BRIDGE.
Since we last observed upon the ruinous and dangerous state of this bridge several accidents occurred, serving as arguments to enforce the necessity of rebuilding or repairing in an effectual manner this part of a great thoroughfare. Some time ago, a horse, starting at the chasm at one side of the bridge, threw his rider, whose leg was broken in a dreadful manner. Since such a misfortune befel any man, the further misfortune was that it did not befal one of the trustees of the road, or some other great personage, for then the attention of authority would be awakened, and actively applied to correct the evil.
Not far above the bridge another nuisance occasionally presents itself; the road is subjected to inundations which totally impede foot passengers, and render it difficult and dangerous to horses and carriages; it was so in the late heavy rains, extending to the adjoining fields, gardens, &c. to a degree not remembered by the oldest inhabitant of the neighbourhood. This inconvenience, or, more properly speaking, this serious injury to the vicinage and the public, may be easily removed, as it is caused by the want of proper shores across the road, capable of conveying the body of water collected in the adjoining land drains, &c.
It is unpardonable that such complaints should exist in such a respectable neighbourhood, and on a road so populous - and we hope the causes will be corrected without putting us under the painful necessity of pointing directly at the negligence of the individuals.
Yesterday, a pipe-water sub-committee of this city, attended by an engineer lately arrived from England, of much ability and experience, made an excursion up the line of the Royal Canal, for the purpose of obtaining a better supply of pipe-water for the Citizens of Dublin, than they have had heretofore.
Holman's Harry Dornton, in The Road to Ruin, on Tuesday, was a truly fine performance. This character, which gained him such repute in London, has never been properly delineated but by himself; he distinguishes with the most forcible expression between the vicissitudes of folly and extravagance, and the return of contrition and remorse. In his scene with Old Dornton he was eminently happy, and we are here glad to mention how chastely this was part was sustained by Williams.
Yesterday evening, Miss Walstein repeated Yarico, with encreased eclat - she executed the songs in a manner that gives us a high opinion of her vocal powers; her voice is capable of expressing much, and when properly cultivated will be vast acquisition to the musical world. Philips might have made something more of Inkle, by introducing one of his favourite airs. Miss Davison, although she have several proofs of taste and attention, does not possess the compass of tones and vast portion of melody requisite for the songs of Narcissa. Shaw displayed a good natural voice in the part of Camploy - he has a spirited manner, and will improve, if he does not, like some others, attempt too much. We think that the Wouski of Miss Griffiths, without depreciating her admired abilities as an actress, is much inferior to some of her other performances. - The idea of Trudge partaking of his 'dingy dear's' complexion, by rubbing off her paint with his face, although it may cause a momentary laugh, is so palpably absurd, that it should not be repeated. Stewart gave the song of "Jemmy linkum tweedle" [?] with great humour and vivacity. Marshall displayed more abilities in Sir Christopher Curry than in any of his preceding characters.
The new Pantomime of Brazen Mask is still the admiration of the Public. Its merit as a composition can only be paralleled by the exertions of the performers. The scenery, which is rich and beautiful, and the Polish costume, so characteristic and magnificence, are other strong and almost irresistible attractions.
The Princess Royal Dublin and Parkgate packet, James Brown, master, arrived at Donaghadee on the 30th ult having been driven from her station by the late heavy gale from the south-east. A similar circumstance occurred in the great snow storm, February, 1799, when the King packet, Captain Grumley, was also driven from her station, and obliged to bear away for Donaghadee.
The first fair of books at New York, lately instituted, and held in imitation of the famous fairs of Leipsig and Frankfort in Germany, has surpassed all the hopes that has been entertained of its success. A second Fair of the same kind is intended to be established at Philadelphia, which will be opened every first Tuesday in September. The geographical sub-division, and the numerous distinct capitals in Germany and America, render these fairs necessary and useful.
The Indian hand-bill* for grinding grain is, like most other Indian inventions, characterised by considerable simplicity and effect, and merits the public attention. Its cheapness and general utility are such, that the meanest hut in India is never without one. The whole grain used by the natives of India is ground in these mills, and chiefly by women, who appear to execute the task with astonishing ease. A woman will continue grinding with this mill several hours, and in this time the mill reduce a very considerable quantity of grain into flour.
[* I suspect the printer ment hand-mill]
Ship-building is at present much increased in our principal ports, especially those of Dublin, Cork, and Belfast - even at Newry, though so far up the lough or inlet of the sea on our north eastern shore, three brigs of above 100 tons each, are now fitting out, and five at the port of Londonderry, for the America and Portugal trade.
AMPHITHEARICALS.- The new and beautiful spectacle of Brazen Mask was presented for the 3d time last night, in Peter-street, in a style of purity and correctness that surprised and delighted every spectator. The Rosabella of Mrs. Astley, was tender, natural, and truly affecting - and her shriek on missing her infant, such as electrified a numerous audience. Mr. Astley, as the Baron and Brazen Mask, did every justice to the villainy of both characters - Laurent's personification is highly interesting and animated, while the spirit of Mrs. Mercerot [?], in Eliza [?], is entitled to every praise. We are sorry to learn, that the present amusements conclude on Saturday next.
A Correspondent, who visited the Amphitheatre on last night, assures us, that nothing could have surpassed the exquisite performance Mrs. Astley, in the character of Rosabella, which was admired by every auditor in the House. We heartily coincide in the opinion of our communicant, that in the line of serious Pantomime she has hardly a competitor.
In a late publication of the Courier is to be found the following English Bull - "Pick-pockets, robbing gentlemen of their hats, coats, waistcoats, and shirts" - and equally so of the use of apparel. We have heard of a man wearing a pocket to his shirt, but never, until now, of a man wearing his shirt in his pocket.
Thomas Lesson, late of Bandon, has bequeathed �5 to the poor of Kilbeggan, and the same to the poor of Morragh, both in the co. Cork.
Magee and Kelly, who were under sentence of death in the New Prison, have received another respite till further notice.
Last week a trotting match for 500 guineas between two officers horses of the 28th light dragoons, took place from Tullamore and Philipstown, nearly 8 miles, which was performed in 32 minutes.
Wm. Simmons, of Capel-street, acknowledges to have received from a Lady in the country, who desires her name may be kept secret, five Guineas; and from G.R. Esq. One Guinea, for the relief of persons confined for small debts.
Charles Walsh, keeper of the City Marshalsea, acknowledges to her received from Mr. Wm. Simmons, half a ton of coals for the relief of the persons confined in said Marshalsea.
BIRTHS. In Anne-street, the Lady of Dr. Beaty, of a son.- At Belmont, Hants, the Countess of Clanricarde, of a son and heir. - In Motague-place, the Lady of Mr. M. Beresford, of a son - In Abbey-street, Mrs.Marshal, of a son.
MARRIAGES. Robert Aldridge, Esq. late private Secretary to Lord Cornwallis, to Miss Verner, daughter of James Verner, of Church-hill, co. Armagh, Esq. - In London, John Ponsonby, Esq. to Lady ---- Villiers, daughter of the Earl of Jersey.
DEATHS. In Howth, in the bloom of life, Mrs. Mary M'Kenney, wife of Mr. John M'Kenney, of said place - On 5th Nov. last, at Grenada, General Hobart - At Whiteford, co. Monaghan, the Rev. James Whiteside, many years Presbyterian Minister of the congregation of Stonebridge - On Monday morning the 27th ult. at Stramore house, co. Down, Jos. Richardson, Esq one of the Society of Quakers; a sincere and generous friend, a liberal benefactor to the surrounding peasantry, many of whom he clothed, fed, and educated : in the eve of life he was finishing several houses as an asylum for aged and infirm poor of the parish; and to the free schools of Stramore and Moyallen, he has bequeathed a considerable sum. - Sir Wm. Parker, Bt. Vice-Admiral of the Red.
A CAUTION TO RUPTURED PERSONS, &c.
Many gentlemen, and others, having been deceived by shew-boards, with the name MORPIE, &c. within one or two doors of him, he thinks it necessary to inform his friends that he has no shew-board, but that his house is distinguished by Iron Rails.
*** A REPORT having been industriously disseminated abroad, "That Mr. MORPIE, has retired from business"- he begs to inform the Public, that there was not, nor is there the smallest foundation for such report - and that he still continues his usual practical treatment of RUPTURES, at his house, formerly No.131, but now 146, Townsend-street (Laizor's-hill [?])
HORSES STOLEN.
ON Friday night last my stable was broke open, and robbed of two Bridles and Saddles, a Bay Horse, about 14 1/2 hands high, dipped in the back, short legs, strong, very uneasy when cleaning, a sore spot on the right side of his back, under the back part of the saddle, from a warble, a white foot behind, an uncommon good hunter; a large Bay Mare, about 15 1/2 hands high, a bald spot on the left side of her wither, from an old hurt of the saddle; both are in high condition, and valuable. Five Guineas Reward will be given to any person who secures the horses, Twenty Guineas for apprehending and prosecuting to conviction the thieves.

To Importers and Consumers of Dantzic Wood-Ashes
THE Heirs of the former Proprietor of the fabrick of Dantzic Weed-Ashes, so long known under the name of the Cross Arrows, disposed of it in 1798, but retained another, in which they make the different marks of F ML; two crowns and one crown. The beg to inform the importers, and consumers of this article, that the first is made upon the very same principles as the Cross Arrows formerly were, and with that degree of care and attention that for so great a series of years supported their reputation which they not only engage invariably to pursue, but that the quality shall never be altered; likewise that the price of the ML shall never exceed whatever that of the Cross Arrows may be. The Two Crowns, tho' cheaper, are very little inferior. They take the liberty to recommend a trial of their present fabrick to the Gentlemen in Ireland, convinced that it will secure them their future favours, and that they will be found as deserving of a preference, as when the Cross Arrows were in their hands.
