Thursday, June 6th, 1833
Birth

Rev.Jasper Peck, of a daughter.

Rev.F.T.Bayly, Rector of St.John's, Gloucester,

Mr.Richard Knight of this town.
May 29,
Gifford Augustus, 2d son of
Ernle Warriner, esq., of Manor house, Conock, aged 12 years.
May 24, at his residence in St.James-square, Bristol, in his 93d year,
Mr.Thomas Turner, formerly of Trowbridge.
At Lacock, May 29,
Mrs.Brackstone, aged 65.
At a Charter-council held at the Town-hall, Devizes, on Friday last,
Mr.C.Coward was elected Mayor for the ensuing year; and
Mr.Hull,
Mr.Crook,
Mr.W.Chandler,
Mr.Gundry, and
Mr.James Slade, were elected Members of the Corporation. A letter was read from
Mr.Estcourt, stating that as his Parliamentary duties required he should reside the greater part of the year in town; and his residence, when relieved of those duties, being now at a great distance from Devizes, he felt it was a duty he owed the inhabitants, to relinquish the office of recorder of the borough. He confessed that the determination had required a severe struggle with his feelings; but a sense of duty rendered it imperative.
Mr.Estcourt is to be succeeded in this distinguished office by
Mr.W.H.Ludlow of Seend, who, we have been informed, will take the requisite oaths to-morrow. It appears to have been the general wish of the corporation, that
Mr.T.Estcourt should have succeeded his father; but he could not be prevailed upon. Both
Mr.Estcourt and
Mr.T.Estcourt passed the highest compliments on the abilities of
Mr.Ludlow. It was generally rumoured that
Mr.Estcourt also intended to resign the office of Chairman at the County Quarter Sessions. We are, however, most happy to find that there is no foundation in this rumour.
A vestry was held in the parish church of St.John's, Devizes, to take into consideration the propriety of rescinding and order of vestry, made in 1809, relating to the salary of the organist. We stated in a former paper, that the dissenters objected to a salary being continued chargeable to the church rate; and as there was some doubt respecting the legality of its being so charged, the meeting of yesterday was called for the purpose of considering the subject.
Mr.Salmon expressed his opinion, that as an organ - however desirable it may be - was not absolutely necessary to a parish church, the parish were not legally bound to pay the organist, but he apprehended that a majority of vestry, assembled for the purpose, resolved, from year to year, that the salary of such organist should be paid by rate, the rate would by that means be perfectly legal, and the inhabitants bound to pay it. A great deal of dissension followed. At length it was observed, that such a resolution as had just been alluded would probably tend to embroil the parish in annual disputes, it was therefore submitted, whether for the purpose of promoting unanimity, the point had not better be at once conceded. A great proportion of the vestry coincided : it was, notwithstanding, put to the vote - "that the salary of the organist should still be paid out of the rate;" and but for the above conciliatory suggestion, a considerable majority would have voted in favour of it; but as a large number did not vote at all, the motion was negatived by a majority of one. It was subsequently resolved that the organist's salary should in future be paid by subscription; and some of the dissenters present, with their usual liberality, contributed.
A most excellent Society has for some time been established among the labourers at Broad Hinton, in this county, under the superintendence of
W.R.Brown, esq., which we believe is denominated the "Labourers Saving Society." The contributions of each member amounts to, from 3d to 1s per week, which is regularly deposited by
Mr.Brown in the Marlborough Savings Bank, where it bears interest and compound interest. at the end of 7 years, the whole amount is divided amongst the members, according to their contributions; and, as proof of what an important sum the small weekly savings of a few persons will thus, in the course of time, amount to, we have only to state that in January last, when the first 7 years expired, 26 members had not less than £320 to divide amongst them - some of the receiving upwards of £20 each. The pleasure the men appeared to feel on receiving so large an amount was, as may be supposed, great in the extreme. The number of members now belonging to this Society amounts to upwards of 100, all of whom, after attending divine service, dined together on Wednesday in Whitsun week;
Mr.Brown kindly filling the chair on the occasion. After dinner, the health of the King was drank; and further to shew their loyalty, the company cheered his Majesty with 4 times 4 and afterwards all of them joined in singing the national anthem. - A more pleasing scene can scarcely be imagined - "The happiness and good conduct of our rural population (adds an informant) depend entirely upon their superiors; if they are treated with kindness, they will make the most grateful of servants - the most loyal of subjects. Let the conduct of
Mr.Brown towards them be generally imitated; and no one need be under apprehension that the scenes of 1830-1,will be renewed."
A fellow named
Thos.Piggott, a wandering sweep, has this week been committed to the Old Bridewell, Devizes, for want of sureties to keep the peace towards
Mr.Thos.Jenner of Netheravon. Piggott, it may be recollected, was convicted of breaking the machinery of
Mr.Everett of Heytesbury, during the riots of 1830, and was one of the few condemned by the Special Commission; but the pitiful story he made of his situation and misfortunes through life, so moved the Judges, that they were induced to commute his sentence to twelve months imprisonment. Their mercy, however, has effected no reformation in
Piggott. He appears to be composed of the most riotous and inflaminable materials. Since he has undergone the above punishment, it is said that he has been imprisoned no less than eight different times for breaking windows, assaults, and general riotous conduct -
John Beams[?] has also been committed to our Old Bridewell, charged with stealing a .... of bacon, the property of
Phebe Reeves, of Collingbourn.
A rumour prevails that
Lady Honoria Cadogan, one of the lovely daughters of
Earl Cadogan, is about to give her hand to the
Hon.Sidney Herbert, M.P. brother by half blood of the
Earl of Pembroke.
Mr.Herbert is one of the wealthiest commoners in the gay world, the late
Lord Pembroke having settled the bulk of his extensive unentailed property on him.
The past month has been favourable to that practice which is extended itself very generally in all quarters - that of burning ashes from the turf and weeds, growing in the borders of fields, and in waste, uncultivated strips and corners. Large heaps of these ashes, burnt or burning, meet the eye, in every direction, and constitute manure for turnips, at once cheap and efficient, if used in sufficient quantity.
"Last week another experiment with an iron boat, to go at the rapid pace of from 8 to 12 miles an hour, was made on the Kennet and Avon Canal, between Wootton river and Devizes. The boat is capable of holding upwards of 70 persons; about 25 gentlemen attended, and were highly gratified in observing that the sides of the canals were not materially disturbed by the velocity of travelling.
A Special Meeting of the Commissioners of the Court of Requests for the Hundreds of Chippenham, Calne, and Damerham North, and Lordship or Liberty of Corsham, in the county of Wilts, was held at the Bear Inn, Chippenham, on Friday last, for the purpose of electing a Clerk of the said Court in the stead of
Mr.Benjamin Gaby deceased, late one of the Clerks of that Court. The meeting was very numerously and respectably attended, there being nearly a hundred commissioners present . -
William Gundry, esq., was unanimously called to the chair; after which three candidates for the vacant office presented themselves; viz
Mr.James Noyes, printer, bookseller, &c., of Chippenham;
Mr.Joseph Phillipps, Solicitor, of Chippenham; and
Mr.William Gilbert Carey, solicitor, of Calne. These gentlemen having been severally proposed and seconded, the chairman called for a show of hands, which was found to be in favour of
Mr.James Noyes.
Mr.Phillipps then demanded a poll, at the close of which it appearing that
Mr.James Noyes had a very considerable majority of votes, the chairman declared that the election had fallen on him, and his appointment was accordingly signed by the Commissioners.
Mr.James Noyes then returned thanks to his friends for their support, and the Court proceeded to appoint new commissioners in the room of those who were deceased. The business of the meeting being concluded, thanks were voted to the chairman for his able services and impartial conduct on the occasion.- The clerks of this Court now are
Mr.John Noyes of Calne, and
Mr.James Noyes of Chippenham, who have appointed
Mr.William Gilbert Carey, of Calne, solicitor, as their deputy, to act in conjunction with them.
John Glassby of Corsham, was last week apprehended, and committed to Monmouth County Jail, charged with stealing two horses from the above parish. These horses have been recovered and restored to their lawful owners. On Thursday last
Jas.Thompson, alias
Bristol Jim, was apprehended at the Roe Buck public house in the parish of Corsham, on suspicion of having stolen a horse in his possession. The horse was taken out of a field at Bemerton, near Salisbury, on the previous night, and has since been owned by
Mr.Wiltshire, of Winton.
Thompson, who is a notorious character, is now safely lodged in Fisherton Jail.
Committed to the House of Correction, Devizes.
George Bird, for three months, for leaving his family chargeable to the parish of Westbury. -
George Porch, for two months, for assaulting and beating
Mary Saddry, and
Maria Self, of Bradford.

Thomas Mills of Melksham. -

Emigration
The following is a copy of a letter recently received from a young man who formerly worked in
Mr.Matraver's factory at Westbury, and emigrated to Canada. The father of this young man, (
Prince Morris) in the spring of 1831, was in a most deplorable state, his family living on less than 2d per day per head on the average; a gentleman recommended him to go to Canada with other emigrants; and this letter will show how much to his advantage the change has proved. Nearly 200 letters have been received from emigrants, equally satisfactory. We shall gladly insert some of them, for the purpose of pointing out to labourers, who cannot get employ in this country, a land where they may be sure of work in abundance, and good wages :-
Waterdown, Nov.19, 1832.
Dear Father In Law,
I take the opportunity of writing to you, hoping it may find you in good health, as it leaves me at present. From Bristol to Quebec we were six weeks and one day; my little
Louisa was very bad all the passage in cutting her teeth, and I am sorry to say she died one mile from Prescott, and we buried her at the Baptist Meeting at Prescott. We went by the steam packet to Kingston and York, where we left all our neighbours, and
Prince and I went on to the head of the lake, and there we landed, and left our luggage, while we went to see our father at Dundas; it is six miles. We got two miles to Hamilton, where we were quite surprised to meet father, uncle
Prince, and several more coming down to the beach to wait the packet in. When we were at Montreal,
Luke Coward and
Frowd, started on foot and got to father's one week before we and told him we were on the road. They are working near Dundas, in an excellent place. Now I will tell you how my father is getting on; when we met him at Hamilton, he returned and took his team, and went to the beech to fetch our luggage. He is living half-way between Hamilton and Dundas, on a very pleasant place. My father rents this farm containing a good house, and 48 acres of good land for £10 a year; there is 10 acres of pasture, and the rest for cultivating. He has excellent crops of corn, and likewise of potatoes and grass. I helped him mow his grass. He has a yoke of oxen, and one cow, and five pigs. He said he would not return to England for 100 pounds. Me and mother cried for joy when they saw us, to think that we were come out of a land of poverty to a land of plenty ! My sister is going to be married this month, her man has bought a farm in this neighbourhood. When my brothers and sisters were in England they had no work nor clothing; but now they are like gentlemen's children - plenty of work and clothing. Now I must tell you how I and my wife are getting on. We staid at our father's one week, and then the owner belonging to father's farm , wanted us to go to work for him; so
Betsy and I hired to him for one year at three pounds per month, and found in every thing except clothing. Our master has no wife, so
Betsy is the housekeeper to cook and look after the house, and I have got to milk and do any thing that is to be done. We and the master always sit down to the table together and were never so happy before; we don't want for anything we can go into the cellar and draw beer or whiskey when we please. Our master kills his own meat, and keeps everything to our wish and will. It need not cost us one pound all the year, for our master will pay all our expenses when we go out. Last Sunday master look Betsy and I to see
Samuel Reeves, and he is doing extremely well, and told us that he had earned three hundred dollars the day before. Dear father-in-law, a blacksmith is a very good trade in this country; he can earn very great wages, and
Betsy and I are very desirous for you to come, if you think you can stand the journey. If a man love work he may live well here, for there is not hands enough to do the work. The farmers are obliged to help one another in the harvest time. A man gets 5s a day and his board for every days work. If a man could bring a little money with him, he could purchase land very cheap, and soon gain a good stock. There was 350 on board our ship, and I don't know where to find one individual often, they are all got into place somewhere or other. D remember all my kind love to all my shopmates and relations, and tell them I don't never wish to see that eternal factory any more.
I am your ever loving and affectionate Son-in-law,
John Morris.
