Some Selected Reports from the Leeds Intelligencer



Tuesday, March 10, 1789.




LONDON, March 3.

A few minutes before the curtain drew up at Covent-Garden on Saturday night, D. Willis took his seat in the King's box; his green glasses were on, and he kept them on during the whole evening. The moment he was seated, the band, as if by previous intimation, struck up God Save the King. And at the end of the play, the actors came on the stage, and sung it.




SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, March 5.

BY the last messenger who arrived this morning from Kew, we are happy to communicate to our readers the pleasing intelligence, that our gracious Sovereign remains in perfect good health both in mind and body; and that in consequence of the complete re-establishment of his intellectual powers, he feels himself particularly anxious to engage again in the functions of royalty.
His Majesty's first public appearance will be at his levee.
A drawing-room was intended for this day at St.James's, but her Majesty has postponed it, on account of her health not being found as yet adequate to any public exertion. Previous to the King's recovery, for her no effort seemed too much; her spirits were upheld by a prudence more than natural. In her melancholy situation she never languished. When every one around her seemed to droop, and be almost bewildered with calamity, she alone sustained the shock and continued, during the whole of the trying scene, active and capable.
His Majesty has already begun business by signing a number of commissions, and other official papers which have been for some time only wanting that completion.
Windsor has, in a becoming manner, taken the lead in celebration of the King's recovery. Yesterday was the day appointed for the purpose. The bells rung, the artillery fired, the military and the corporation paraded the whole town, and every individual observed it as a day of chief festivity; and, what is to the credit of the place, all their festivity seemed to come from the heart. In the evening a fire-work was played off in front of the Queen's-Lodge, and every window in the town illuminated. Lord Mornington, Mr. Powney, the Mayor, &c. were distinguished.
A grand entertainment is to be given at the Duke of Northumberland's seat at Sion, on account of his Majesty's happy recovery.
As an additional proof of the harmony between our gracious Sovereign and the Prince of Wales, we are happy to assure the public, that, in consequence of the medical advice to his Majesty to confirm his health by a short residence on the sea-coast, his Royal Highness has made an offer to the King of his excellent marine pavilion at Brighton.
A Catalogue Raisonnee of all the Rats, of every degree and colour, has been drawn out for the entertainment of his Majesty. The names of the more notorious, are already before the public, but the fame of the subordinate ones has not yet been properly circulated. - Is there any tenderness due to a divine who within a year past was promoted by the Lord Chancellor, and yet deserted the Royal standard , merely because a parliamentary maniac had assured him that his King was to be ranked among the incurables ? - Happily, we know that this intelligence was false, and our spiritual renegado will certainly feel that universal contempt is the never failing punishment of tergiversation and ingratitude.




MONDAY's POST.
LONDON, March 7.

HIS Grace the Duke of Portland had the misfortune to break his knee-pan by a fall on the stone steps at Sir Thomas Dundas's on Wednesday evening. In getting to his carriage, his foot slipped, and he fell backwards. We have the satisfaction to inform the public, that no fever has accompanied the fracture, and that he was yesterday as well as the most sanguine wishes of his friends could expect.

The preparations making at the West end of the town for illuminations exceed any thing of the kind ever known. The tinmen and glaziers are in full employ, against the day of gladness.

In the House of Lords on Thursday, as soon as prayers were concluded, the order of the day was read for the further consideration of the Regency bill.
The Lord Chancellor immediately addressed their Lordships, for the purpose of recommending another adjournment. There would be no impropriety, he said, in a further delay of a few days as such delay would not be inconsistent with the public business of this period of the year, the pressure, of which was not so urgent as to admit of no postponement; for there would still be sufficient time for the annual bills. He proceeded to observe, that his Majesty's health was so well re-established, that he intended to communicate to the House, on Tuesday next, his pleasure respecting the prosecution of the national business. His Lordship then moved, that the order of the day be discharged, and that the House do now adjourn till Tuesday.
This motion received the unanimous assent of their Lordships, who instantly broke up, at half past four o'clock.

At Newmarket has been taken in a trap within these few days, a very large kite, on whose leg was a brass ring, inscribed Col. Thornton, Thornville, manager of the confederate hawks of 1778. - This kite had been then taken, and as is the custom when an hawk affords great sport, was ringed and turned off; and it being further held a duty, that if the same kite should be taken by other falconers, they should put on him their ring, and turn him off likewise.

The Richard and Joseph, Capt. Stephenson, of Hull, bound from Pillau to Bourdeaux, with a large cargo of wheat, was lost in the river Garonne, on the 16th of January.
Last week arrived at Liverpool, the Fisher, Hewan; from Africa and Jamaica; and the Eliza, Heuson, from Africa and Grenada, with 33 elephants teeth, 123 logs of mahogany, 30 tons of camwood, &c.
Last week arrived at Lancaster, the George, Dalrymple, from Jamaica; and the Mary, Marr, from St.Kitt's, with 40 hhds of sugar, 52 puncheons of rum, 423 bags of cotton, 51 tons of sustic [?], &c.
Orders are sent from the Secretary of State's Office to every seaport in England, not to suffer any ships or vessels to load with wheat or flour on any account whatsoever.

LEEDS, March 9.

The celebrated Mr. Howard hath just published, "An account of the principal Lazarettos in Europe, with various papers relative to the plague, &c. and additional remarks on the present state of prisons and hospitals in Great Britain and Ireland;" and it gives us peculiar pleasure to observe, that he mentions the "Leeds Infirmary, as one of the best hospitals in the kingdom; - where great attention is paid to cleanliness; circular apertures, or ventilators open into a passage of five feet and a half wide; no fixed testers; no bugs in the beds; many are cured of compound fractures, who would lose their limbs in the unventilated and offensive wards of some other hospitals." - Mr. Howard also speaks of the Workhouse in this town, as being "well regulated; and which at this and his former visits, he found clean and quiet, and their provision good." - It will give satisfaction to the worthy inhabitants of this town to know, that in a pamphlet respecting the poor laws, published in 1776, from this press, by a Justice of the Peace for the West Riding, there is the following remark :
"The Workhouse at Leeds, is conducted under the immediate direction of a committee of the magistrates and the principal persons in the town; but their benevolence is not confined to the house alone; it is liberal, it is enlarged; and appears strongly from the great sums that are expended, in the relief of casual poverty, and in standing weekly donations : hence it is that many honest and industrious families are rendered useful to society, and happy, in the free enjoyment of liberty at their own homes.

Last Friday were admitted at the General Infirmary, 26 In and 19 Out-Patients, 3 of the former, and 4 of the latter being cases not admitting of delay. As the same time were discharged 11 Patients cured, and 3 relieved.
Last week was paid into the hands of the Treasurer of the General Infirmary, the sum of Ten Guineas, being a benefaction from Mr. William Alcock, of Skipton, to the said charity.




On Sunday se'nnight was married, Mr. James Brennard, of Settle, mercer, to Mrs. Duckworth, of the same place.
On the 21st ult was married, Mr. Fielder, an eminent farmer near Wakefield, to Miss Martindale, eldest daughter of Dr. Martindale, of Masham.
On Monday last was married, Mr. Smith, grocer, in Tadcaster, to Miss Abbot, of Knowstrop, near this town.
The same day was married, Mr. Thomas Mitchell, wholesale linen-draper, to Miss Welbank, eldest daughter of Christopher Welbank, Esq; of Mount Pleasant, near Northallerton.
On Tuesday last, was married, Thomas Simon Scroope, Esq. of Danby, near Middleham, to Miss Meynell, daughter of Edward Meynell, Esq; of Yarm.
A few days ago was married, at Snaith, Mr. Peter Linton, of that place, to Mrs. Cutler, of Wormley-hill, with a fortune of �1500.
On Wednesday last was married, Mr. William Maude, jun. of Otley, to Miss Harriet Rhodes, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Rhodes, of this town.
On Thursday was married, Richard Hodgson, Jun. Esq of Whetley, to Miss Hodgson, only daughter of John Hodgson, Esq; of Bierley, both near Bradford.
At the village of Bramhope, in the parish of Otley, Matrimony has lately become so fashionable, that two sons and two daughters of Mr. Francis Walker, inn-keeper at that place, have within the last three months been indissolubly tyed with the hymeneal noose ! !




Saturday a dispensation to the Rev. Andrew Ewbank, of the rectory of Londesborough, together with the rectory of Burghwallis, both in this county, passed the Great Seal.
His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, hath been pleased to create Mr. Lucas Nicholson, of this town, a Notary Public.




On Wednesday last a man undertook for a wager of a guinea, to go on foot from this town to York and back again; he was allowed eleven hours, but performed his journey in ten hours and ten minutes, with great ease. - The distance is forty-eight miles.

Such is the polite and fashionable emulation of the present age for Broughtonian accomplishments, that we are well informed, two amiable Reverend Divines, not one hundred miles from B****** have had lately several rencounters, with various incess, in their exercises in this laudable and much reputable art - splash dash and knock-me-down; that they have now mutually determined to finally settle this curious contest upon a platform to be erected at Pontefract on or about the 20th of April next; and, as their prowess is so nearly equal, great bets are depending on the issue.

Lately was finally determined in the Court of King's Bench, the cause tried at York at the last Lent assizes, brought by Richard Welborn, the owner of the horse Wildair, against Mr. Petch, attorney at law, at Kirby-Moorside, as stake-holder in a trotting match between the above horse and Young Jalap, and which cause hath been delayed ever since by a writ of error. By this determination Mr. Welborn hath recovered the �100 run for, together with his charges; and bets to a very considerable amount which were depending upon the above race, are now decided.

Last year at Blackburn, Lancashire, they had 506 baptisms, 145 marriages, and 357 burials - Increased in baptisms 11; decreased in marriages, 45; increased in burials, 76.

On Friday last, Joseph Dixon was committed to the House of Correction at Wakefield, charged with stealing some articles of wearing apparel from John Canney, of this town.
At New-Grange, near this town, on Wednesday last, a servant was playing with a gun, not knowing that it was charged; when unfortunately presenting the same at two boys, that were in the kitchen, the piece went off, and lodged the contents in their faces, by which they were so terribly mangled that their lives are now in the most imminent danger.




A few days ago died, at Kendal, the Rev. Dr. Simmonds, 44 years vicar of that place, and greatly esteemed by a very numerous and genteel acquaintance.- The living (worth upwards of �400 per ann.) is in the gift of Trinity College, Cambridge, and we hear the Rev. Richard Kirshaw, of this town, is presented to the same.
A few days ago died, Mr. David Dalby, of the Mills, at Wetherby.

POETS' CORNER.

ADDRESS TO HEALTH.
ON HIS MAJESTY's RECOVERY.
(By ELIZABETH KNIPE, of Liverpool.)

DEAR HYGEIA ! Goddess mild !
AESCULAPIUS' darling Child !
Thee, on Grecia's happy Shore,
The lovely Wood Nymph, MELIA, bore,
Beneath an Ash-Tree's spreading Shade,
Thine infant Limbs supine were laid,
And a fragrant Cowslip Bed,
Form'd a Pillow for thy Head;
While each Flower of brightest Hue,
Round thy Couch spontaneous grew;
Zepher, sporting with the Rose,
Whisp'ring - lull'd thee to Repose:
There wert thou by Dryads found,
Sleeping on the verdant Ground;
Swift their beauteous Prize they bore
To Sylvan wilds and deep embow'ring Groves,
Such as romantic Fancy loves,
And train'd thy early Youth to Nature's boundless Lore.

If thou roam'st with fond Delight,
Still where rural Scenes invite;
If thy native Haunts are dear,
Accept the votive Lay,
That Gratitude unschool'd, in Numbers gay,
Bids the bland Gales waft gently to thine Ear.

Thou heard'st the Sons of Liberty,
The Sons of Britain pour their Pray'rs to thee :
Thou spak'st, and swift, at thy Command,
Grim Sickness left our Monarch's Bed;
And wild Delirium's hideous Band,
At thy Approach reluctant fled.
Sorrow, retiring, shuns thy piercing Eye ---
And from each regal gilded Roof, rebounds
The Harmony of sweet concordant Sounds,
The loud Acclaim, the rapid Bursts of Joy.

Nor yet, dear Nymph, thy Cares give o'er !
Attentive on the Monarch wait;
Let thy Decree be fix'd as changeless Fate
That bids those horrid Fiends return no more :
Then, as I range the Meads along,
Or saunter pensive thro' the Grove,
Or in the varied valley rove,
I'll hail thee with my grateful Song :
And to thine Altar will I bring,
The fairest Flow'rets of the Spring :
The Vi'let sweet, the Primrose pale,
The bending Lilly of the Vale,
And fragrant Hawthorn's clust'ring Bloom,
That scents the Air with pure Perfume,
In artless Wreaths I'll gaily twine,
And bind with Tendrils of the Vine,
To crown thine open Brow and deck thy rustic Shrine.





FOR THE KING
A FORM of PRAYER and THANKSGIVING
to ALMIGHTY GOD.

ALMIGHTY GOD, Father of all Comforts, and the Strength of those who put their Trust in Thee, we prostrate ourselves before Thy Divine Majesty, and humbly presume to offer up our Prayers and Thanksgivings for Thy Mercy vouchsafed to our most Gracious Sovereign.
Thou hast raised him from the Bed of Sickness; Thou hast again lifted up the Light of thy Countenance upon him, and blessed him with sure Trust and Confidence in Thy Protection. Confirm, O Lord, we beseech Thee, the Reliance which we have on the Continuance of Thy Goodness; and strengthen and establish him, if it be Thy good Pleasure, the Work of Thy Mercy.
Grant that he may lead the Residue of his Life in Thy Fear and to Thy Glory; that his Reign may be long and prosperous; and that we, his Subjects, may shew forth our Thankfulness for thy Loving-kindness, and for all the Blessings, which, through his just and mild Government, Thou bestowest upon us. To this end may we be enabled by Thy Grace to maintain a deep and lively Sense of Thy good Providence, to pay due Obedience to his lawful Authority, to live in Christian Charity towards each other, and to walk before Thee in all Virtuous and Godly Living.

Finally, we pray Thee to keep in perpetual Peace and Safety; and to grant that, this life ended, he may dwell with Thee in Life Everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, Amen.

BRADFORD, March 9th, 1789.

A Few Days ago the following Letters, touching the Address and Thanks voted to the Right Honourable William Pitt, at a Meeting of the Gentlemen, Clergymen, Merchants, and others within the Township and Neighbourhood of Bradford, in this County, were received by Joshua Field, Esq; Chairman of the said Meeting.

Feb. 18th, 1789.
Dear Sir,
I received your obliging Letter, with the Address of Thanks inclosed for Mr. Pitt, which shall be communicated to him. I cannot but add my most sincere Acknowledgements for the Thanks with which the Gentlemen of Bradford have honoured my Parliamentary Conduct, and must confess that it will still animate me to merit, by a continued Attention to their Interests, their future Approbation.
I am, Sir,
With my best Respects to the Gentlemen of Bradford,
Your most faithful and obliged Servant,
H. DUNCOMBE.
JOSHUA FIELD, Esq.

Sir,
For my Friend Mr. Duncombe and myself, I sit down with great Pleasure to execute the Commission with which Mr. Pitt has charged us, and I do not know how it can better be done, than by inclosing you his original Letter. That he did not sooner express the Sentiments of Gratitude which he feels for the Mark of their Approbation, with which the Gentlemen of the Town and Neighbourhood of Bradford have honored his Conduct, has been owing to the uncommon Pressure of Business at this critical Period; and I persuade myself you will kindly consider the Cause of Delay, and excuse it accordingly.
I cannot lay down my Pen without congratulating you on the happy Change that has taken Place in his Majesty's State, since I had last the Pleasure of writing to you : I am sure, you sympathize in the Sensations I feel in View of this joyous and providential Event.

I am, Sir,
Your faithful and most obedient Servant,
W. WILBERFORCE.

Gentlemen,
I take the Liberty of requesting to express through you how sensible I am to the Honor done to me by the Sentiments contained in the Resolutions of the Gentlemen, Clergymen, Merchants and others in the Town and Neighbourhood of Bradford, which you were so obliging to communicate to me. It affords me the utmost satisfaction to receive so flattering a Testimony of their favourable Opinion of my public Conduct, and particularly of their Approbation of the Measures which I thought it my Duty to propose in the Emergency occasioned by his Majesty's Indisposition

I am with great Regard,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful ServantW. PITT.
