Some Selected Reports from the Salisbury and Winchester Journal
Monday, September 14th, 1812
LONDON,
Monday, September 7.
Bartholomew Fair exhibited on Saturday night a scene of riot and confusion which has seldom been exceeded. The influx of persons of all descriptions was immense; at ten o'clock every avenue leading to the Fair was crammed with all impenetrable mob. Those who happened to be in the interior of the mob could not be extricated, and those who were outside were in the most imminent danger of being crushed to death against the booths. Several females fainted and were trodden under foot, others forced their way on the top of the crowd, and crawling on their heads were rescued from their perilous situation by the performers in the booths. Many serious accidents occurred, several limbs were broken, and one or two lives were lost. The most distressing scene was that of a fine child, about 12 months old, having been suffocated in the arms of its mother. The unfortunate woman did not discover the hapless fate of her infant until she reached Giltspur-street, when she rent the air with the most frantic shrieks; while her husband, who accompanied her, and who had the appearance of a decent tradesman, stood mute, with the dead body of his child in his arms, which he regarded with a look of indescribable agony.
A waterman, named Swain, was drowned last week in the Medway, near the spot where Mr. Finch and his sons perished a few weeks ago. Swain was navigating a barge, when he discovered that the vessel was sinking; he jumped overboard, and swam towards the shore; but when he thought he had arrived within his depth, he attempted to walk, but his feet sunk so deep in the mud, that he was unable to extricate himself, and perished.
MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.- On the morning of the 27th of August, 14 men, belonging to Conway, went out in a small boat to finish the loading of a boat, lying near Ormshead, bound with pavement flags for Liverpool. After having accomplished their work, they left the vessel about ten at night, and began to row towards Conway; in a short while, their cries were heard as if in great danger, but the vessel being a-ground, no assistance could be rendered to them. The cries of distress continued until one loud yell was uttered, after which their was universal silence. Next morning the boat was found full of water and drifted up the river. Seven hats, two jackets, and a waistcoat, were found on the water's edge; but none of the bodies have been washed ashore. Conway is filled with lamentation. Ten of the men have left large families. Eleven widows were unfortunately made, and 35 children left fatherless. Subscriptions for their relief have been set on foot, and the people, touched with their sufferings, have been extremely liberal.
MURDER. -- The head of a female, with golden hair, and teeth extraordinary for whiteness, was found by two men buried in a moss in the neighbourhood of Troome.- Two men recollected hearing the cries of murder one evening, about two years ago, at that part. All search and enquiry has hitherto proved fruitless, after the name of the murdered person.
Some jocularities having passed yesterday, at dinner, between a young man and the wife of a fishmonger, of the name of Dodd, resident of West Ham, Essex, the husband enraged at what he construed into an improper familiarity, plunged a knife, with which he was eating, into the heart of the unfortunate woman; her death was instantaneous. Dodd was immediately secured.
PORT NEWS.
FALMOUTH, Sept.10. -- The following ships under convoy of the Iphigenia frigate, arrived Friday last, and sailed for London, viz. the Lord Forbes, David Scott, Lady Lushington, William Pitt, Retreat, and Tottenham, from Bengal; Providence from China; and the Rebecca, Concord, Eliza, and Ranger, South-Sea Whalers.
The Queen Charlotte packet, from Lisbon in 12 days, arrived on Monday. She had sailed only two days after the Walsingham, and brings no news. It was reported, that the armies of the Marquis of Wellington, General Maitland, and Sir Rowland Hill, were all in motion, and Soult was considered the object, and to be in great danger.
The Windsor Castle packet, from Malta, and the Mary Ann, from Jamaica, are arrived, and both gone into quarantine, in consequence of disease on the passage. They bring no news of importance.
The Alphea schooner, Lieut. Jones, arrived yesterday, with dispatches from Halifax. Hostilities continued, but no attack had been made on Canada. The States were violently divided. The Northern and Eastern States refusing the requisite co-operation. Two privateers, of 10 guns each, had been carried into Halifax, and a great number of merchant ships. Commodore Rodgers appears to have been inactive. His Majesty's brig Emulous had been lost, but the crew were saved, and are now cruising in the Nautilus, lately captured from the Americans. The war was very unpopular, but the Government appear decidedly hostile. The Alphea took two American prizes on her passage, one was sent for Halifax, and the other, a fine ship, with salt, is arrived here.
PLYMOUTH, Sept. 11. On Monday arrived the Belle Poule, of 36 guns, from the coast of France; also an American ship and a brig, laden with flour, detained by the Belle Poule.
On Tuesday arrived the Favourite sloop of war, from Corunna. She brought over the Earl of March, Aide-de-Camp to the Marquis of Wellington, who set off for London with dispatches. In coming to Corunna, Lord March received intelligence that Astorga, so long ineffectually besieged by the Spaniards, had at length surrendered. This is one of the happy results of the glorious victory of Salamanca.
Also arrived a transport, from Corunna, with French prisoners.
On Wednesday came in the Thomas, of New York, Capt. Herbert, from America, with flour, for Lisbon, detained by the Fervent gun-brig.

Williams, both from Quebec: they sailed about five weeks since, in company with 80 sail, under convoy of the Savage sloop of war, and parted from them sixteen days since off the Banks of Newfoundland, then 45 sail together. It appears that the Americans had taken possession of some defenceless places in Upper Canada, as also the Fort of Amherst, and were going to attack Fort St.George; and their cruizers had also taken several English vessels, some of which they burnt, others they sent into port. When the fleet sailed from Quebec, the Minerva, with seven sail of transports, were going into the River, having troops on board from Barbadoes: one of the fleet, with 200 soldiers on board, had been taken by the Essex American frigate, and ransomed for 12,000 dollars.

The greater part of the goods was either consumed or greatly injured.

Its foliage covers the whole front of the house, which is lofty and spacious. Some of the larger branches were lopped off not long ago, on account of their too exuberant growth, and the timber was applied to many useful purposes: it was found to bear a considerable resemblance to mahogany.

SALISBURY,
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1812.
On Sunday the 30th of August, a Sermon was preached at the Parish Church of Long Newnton, for the benefit of the Wiltshire Auxiliary Bible Society, by the Rev. Thomas Methuen, Secretary of the Society. His plain statement of the universal benefits arising from the institution, and his awakening calls, while we have time, to promote the Kingdom of Christ, to do good unto all men, and to lay up a treasure in Heaven, which faileth not , made the liveliest impression upon the congregation. The collection at the church door amounted to �17 18s. 4 1/2d. - Newnton is a small Parish, in the northern part of the county, containing in all about 30 families, but not an individual in it, man, woman, or child, forbore to present a liberal offering, and to afford thereby the soundest argument for the general blessedness of this sacred cause.
Wilton St.Giles's Great Sheep Fair was held on Saturday last, and the number of Sheep and Lambs penned amounted to 65,000. Sales were brisk on fleshy Wether and Ewe Sheep of the South-Down and Wiltshire breeds, but lean Sheep and inferior Lambs of all descriptions sold very dull : Wethers fetched from 34s. to 56s. per head, Ewes from 23s. to 38s. per head, and Lambs from 18s. to 31s. per head. The exhibition of the South-Down Rams was very great, from the most choice stocks.- There was a tolerable shew of Horses, and those of the superior cart and nag kinds sold very high.

On Wednesday a Purse of 20 Guineas was played for at Backsword, Somersetshire men against Wiltshiremen, and won by the former.
The arrival of the official dispatches from Marquis of Wellington, relating his entry into Madrid, diffused a general joy throughout the country; not that the taking possession of an open town could be considered one of the great achievements of the hero; but it displayed the importance of the glorious victory of Salamanca, and shewed that "the intrusive King" was humbled, the boasted skill of the Marshals of France foiled, and her "invincible" legions held in check by our renowned Commander and his brave army.
When the extraordinary Gazette reached Dorchester, on Sunday morning, the bells were rung and colours hoisted; on Monday there was a royal salute of cannon and small arms, with fire works in the evening, and the streets and lanes were decorated with laurel. - At Weymouth, there were similar manifestations of joy, with a brilliant illumination of the barracks on Monday evening.
A wish to illuminate on Monday was expressed by several inhabitants of this city, but is was in some degree checked by a circular request to the contrary from the Magistrates. However, on the approach of night, some persons lighted up, and there was soon a numerous assemblage of the populace, calling for lights, and breaking the windows where they were not obeyed: one gentleman had nearly 50 panes of glass broken. This mode of issuing the mandate compelled almost every inhabitant of the Market-place and most of the public streets to put up candles, but the more retired streets were very partially lighted.
On Wednesday there was a more general understanding that every one would shew his joy at our successes by an illumination, and it was accordingly general throughout the City, Close, and Suburbs (with the exception of those who abstained from religious motives). We were as brilliant as light could make us, and several devices in coloured lamps and transparencies were exhibited. The whole passed off without accident, and without the least molestation of any one.
Bristol fair, which commenced on Tuesday, exhibited the largest shew of cattle known for many years past, and the numbers sold were almost unprecedented.- The supply of leather was not large, except in common hides and buffalos; skins scarce, and much in demand; light thin hides, crops, prime heavy buffalos and butts, a ready sale;- raw goods scarce, and the demand brisk. The following were the prices:- Heavy Crops 23d. to 25d. - Light and Middling ditto, 20d to 22 1/2d. - Shoe and Coach Hides, 23d. to 24d. - Best Sadlers ditto, 22d. to 22 1/2d. - Common and Inferior ditto, 19d. to 21d. - Bulls, 16d. 17d. 18d. - Buffalos, 13d. to 16d. - Prime Heavy ditto 17d. to 18 1/2d. - Rounded ditto, 18d. to 21d. - Horse Hides, 18d. to 22d. - Spanish ditto, 18d. to 22d. - Best Pattern Skins, 3s. 10d. to 3s. 11d. - Common ditto, 3s. 7d. to 3s. 9d. - Heavy ditto, 2s. 10d to 3s. 2d. - Welsh ditto, 2s. 9d. to 3s. 3d. - Irish ditto, 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d. - Kips, 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d. - Light Seals, 2s. 9d. to 2s. 11d. - Raw Goods. - Buenos Ayres Hides, 6d. to 8 1/2d. - Rio Hides, 6d. to 7 1/2d. - Spanish Horse, 5s. 6d. to 7s. each.

On Sunday the 6th inst. was married, by the Rev. John Parsons, Mr. Thos. Miller, of Sherborne, to Miss Clothier, of the same place.
On Wednesday died, at the Mote, near Maidstone, in Kent, of a typhus fever, the Right Hon. the Countess of Romney, wife of the present Earl, and the beloved daughter and only child of William Morton Pitt, Esq. - an event which involves in the most poignant grief the whole of her Ladyship's family and connections, and all who were acquainted with her.
On Saturday the 5th inst.died, at Blandford, at a very advanced age, Robert Scott, Esq. he was Surgeon in the Army upwards of 40 years, and late in the 3d Dragoon Guards. He was remarkable for deep erudition, and universal benevolence.
Mr.Jukes, a respectable farmer of Hatherly, in this county, (and brother of Mr. Jukes of Wilton,) was killed on Thursday last, at Cheriton-hill, near Warminster, by a restive bull, whilst he was endeavouring to harness the animal for husbandry work.

AN extraordinary Advertisement having appeared in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal of the last week, making use of the late Mr. GEORGE HOOKEY'S Name in a most unwarrantable and indelicate manner, inserted by Mr. WM. SHACKLEFORD, with a view, apparently, to obtain a part of the Business of the late Mr. HOOKEY, - The Executors of his Will feel it a duty incumbent on them to inform the Friends of the deceased in particular, and the Public in general, that they intend to continue the concern as usual, until a proper person offers himself, capable of carrying it on in the same respectable way it has been done in for the last forty years.
Southampton, No.150, High-street, Sept.3, 1812.
SOUTHAMPTON.
AUCTION-Office, No.4, Bridge-Street
WHEN, after the death of Mr. GEORGE HOOKEY, I solicited a portion of the public favour and patronage, I thought I was impliedly paying a well-deserved tribute to the character and memory of that respectable man and Auctioneer, in saying that "in consequence of his decease" I did so.
Mr. Hookey, as an Auctioneer, enjoyed a considerable share of the public confidence; and, on his demise, I thought I had as much right to seek for a part of that confidence as any other individual, and humbly to embark in that line of business which he had so honourably followed :- his departure made room for me and others, and I did not feel conscious that it was "an unwarrantable and indelicate thing" for me to say that "in consequence of his decease" I offered myself a candidate for the public approbation.
Had I, during the life time of Mr. Hookey, solicited a share of preference, then perhaps some shade of the colouring of propriety might have been given to the very harsh expressions "unwarrantable and indelicate,", so unhandsomely, and at the same time so unmeaningly introduced in the attack his Executors have thought proper to make upon me.
WM. SHACKLEFORD.
