His conduét was dignified, peaceable, and ir-

but mild, and unafluming.

acutenefs of his talents, afid the clearnefs and

YORKSHIRE. 4 
On Sunday, May the 4th, at Thixendale, 
a {mall village in a valley furrounded with 
hills, near Pocklington, a fudden inundation 
took place, immediately after a tremendous 
ftorm of thunder, lightening, wind, and rain, 
occafioned, as it is conje€tured, by the fudden 
precipitation of a cloud upon one of the ‘hills 
near Garrouby. The water came down the 
valley in a torrent, and inftantly filled every 
houfe nearly three feet deep with water 5 
thence it pafled on to Rainfthorp and Bird- 
fall, in a large body, thirty yards broad, and 
it was many hours ’ere it entirely fubfided, 
At Leavening and Acklom, in the Eaft Ris 
ding, numbers of iheep were wathed away. 
The following is an exatét ftatement of the 
number of broad and narrew cloths, milled in 
the Weft Riding in the laft 12 months, viz. 
Broad cloths 272,75§ pieces, containing 
8,306,688 yards, Narrow cloths 280,168, 
jeces, containing 6,377,277 yards. Increafed 
in broad cloths fince laft year, 48,136 pieces, 
or 1,672,574 yards; and in narrow cloths 
31,602 pieces, or 1,196,964 yards. 
The following very fkocking affair lately 
_took place at Kippax Hall, near Pontefract, 
the feat of G. W. W. Medhurft, efg.—. 
About nine’ o’clock in the evening, Mr. 
Medhurft fuddenly called a maid fervant inte 
the drawing-room, and threatened to ftab her 
with his fword ; however fhe was permitted, 
through the earneft intreaties of Mrs. Med- 
hurft, to leave the room. She was 
{carcely withdrawn, when he ftabbed Mrs. - 
Medhurft, and cut her throat in a dreadful 
manner. The murderer being armed with 
loaded piftols, befides his fword, the fervants 
fent for a party of the Pontefra&t volunteers, 
and he was fecured. The inguifition gave a 
verdict of wilful murder, and he was according= 
lv committed to the Caftle of York. Mrs. 
Medhurft was an affe€tionate wife, a tender 
mother, and was highly refpeéted by her ac- 
quaintance. This dreadfulad is attributed te 
intanity. 
A public granary is about to be eftablithed 
at Bridlington, asa depofit for corn ; and alfa 
asa repofitory for laying up coals, by megns 
of which, the exorbitant prices of thefe ar- 
ticles are expeéted to be much reduced. 
A man of the name of Wilfon has lately : 
betn committed to thé howfe of correétion at
