werton, on which the commiffion againft him

chief part of the funds wherewith his cre- 
ditors are to be fatisfied.—The Poft Office 
have alfo taken up the matter of his forging 
the initials M. P. to his ‘letters. The fincere 
concern which every inhabitant of the county 
takes in the misfortune of Mary of Butter- 
Mere, is not eafy to be exprefied. ‘Thofe 
avho know her well affirm, that her virtues 
would have been an ornament to any rank of 
life. She is remarkably intelligent and well- 
informed, and has uniformly maintained the 
dignity of her charaéter as a woman, by 
never forgetting, or fuffering others to forget, 
for a moment, that fhe was the maid of the 
inn, the attendant of thofe who ftop at the 
houfe, and not the familiar. None who have 
demeaned -themfelves confiftently with their 
ownrank and charaéter, have ever, it is faid, 
- thought otherwife than well and highly of 
her. It is even infinuated that there are fome 
circumftances attending her birth and true 
parentage, which, if divulged, would ac- 
count for her ftriking fuperiority in mind and 
manners in a way extremely flattering to the 
prejudices in favour of rank and birth.—it 
~appears that the impoftor (whofe manners and 
addrefs are reprefented as prepoffefiing in the 
higheft degree, by the inhabitants of Kef- 
wick) had, at the fame time, paid his .ad- 
drefies to two otber young women of Kef- 
wick 5 one of whom was the daughter of the 
fifherman whom he had fele&ted to be his 
companion in his fithing and failing expedi- 
tions on the lake. . His coach is retained by 
the landlord, in pledge for a loan of 2ol. all 
the letters, plate, and linen, were; to his 
inexprefiible alarm, found inthe coach. Hat- 
field has been fince apprehended, and is now 
jodged in Brecon jail. 
Colonel Deram and Mr. Telford, two of 
the agents appointed by government td in{pect 
the northern coafts, have projeéed the efta- 
blifhment of a new harbour near Port Patrick 
in Scotland, which will add greatly to the 
convenience of the thipping, as it will enable 
them to come in and go out in any ftate of the 
tide, and with any wind. ‘This great im- 
provement will be rendered ftill more com- 
plete by the ere€iion of new bridges over the 
river Eden, at Carlifle; as likewife, by a 
new bridge to be ere€ted over the river Efk, 
at Garriftown, when the dye road from Car- 
lifle to Porc Patrick will be dhortened at 
leaft fixteen miles. 
Six new calico printing-preffes, on an im- 
proved plan, have lately been eretted -at 
Woodbank Printficld, near Carlifle, by which, 
independently of fe fuperior neatnels mith 
which the workmanthip is executed, there 
will likewif= refult an incredible Tavita of 
expence. ‘The procefsis carried on by water, 
and only requires the attendance of one man 
to each; and it fhould be further obferved, 
that the Gx preffes can difpatch as much work

Confiderable progrefs has been already made 
in the new works ereéting at the harbour of 
Whitehaven, and advertifements, with fuita- 
ble encouragements, are now publifhing, to 
invite an additional number of mafons.—Pre- 
parations are alfo making for a new waggon 
rail-road, to lead from Brackenthwaite, tothe 
arch at Branfty, &c. and to communicate 
with the north wall.—-Employment is like- 
wife offered, in other advertifements, to en- 
gage workmen of various defcriptions, in con- 
fequence of the extenfion of Lerd Lowther’s
