Winchester,
Saturday, Jan.22.
On Tuesday evening
Lady Mildmay gave a splendid ball and supper at Eastgate-house, in this city, at which were present most of the distinguished and fashionable families in and near this city. Amongst the persons present we noticed
Lord Palmerston;
Lady Gage and family;
Lord Northesk and family;
W.Long, Esq. and
Lady Mary;
Sir.H.Tichborne and family;
Sir John and Lady Pollen;
Dowager Lady Rivers;

Hon.Mr.and Mrs.St.John;

The
Rev.Edward Graves Mayrick, D.D. has been presented by the
Rev.Ellis St.John, of West Court, in the county of Berks, to the rectory of Winchfield, in this county, vacant by the death of the
Rev.George Carter.

Rev.James Austin; and to which he was presented by
Edw.Knight, of Godmersham Park, in the county of Kent, Esq.
We notice with great satisfaction that the Winchester Diocesan and District Committee in aid of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, have liberally resolved to extend to all persons residing in the county of Hants, whether Clergy or Laity, whether members of the Committee or not, the privilege of purchasing, at very reduced prices, such Tracts as are perculiarly suited to the present times, and calculated to counteract infidel and blasphemous publications.
Lymington, Jan 21. A meeting of the Trustees and Managing Committee of the Lymington Provident Institution or Savings Bank, was held at the Town-hall on Saturday last,
Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Neale, Bart. M.P. President, in the chair. From the statement presented by the Secretary, it appears that since the formation of the institution to the 31st of Dec. last, the sum of £4469 12s 6d had been deposited by 142 persons; and that there had been withdrawn £809 14s 8d, leaving a balance of £3659 12s 6d on which the sum of £95 18s was due to the several depositors for interest, which was ordered to be paid on demand - The treasurers at the same time laid before the meeting, debentures for the sum of £3650 which had been vested in the Bank of England. The greatest praise is due to those who have so benevolently encouraged servants and the labouring classes in particular to become depositors in so laudable an institution, thereby establishing the virtuous habits, industry and economy.
On Monday last the Mayor and Corporation of this city, the Clergy, and many respectable inhabitants, formed themselves into a Committee to receive subscriptions in aid of a fund for the distribution of coals to the poor of the city and suburbs, when subscriptions were received amounting in the whole to £167. A quantity of coals will be immediately purchased and distributed to many poor families.
A few days since it was proposed by the Members of the Christchurch Concert, to give a performance of Sacred Music at the Church, the receipts of which should be appropriated to the use of the poor at this inclement season. The idea was so highly approved of by the gentlemen to whom it was submitted, and so warmly patronized by the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood, that between eight and nine hundred tickets at five shillings each were purchased, which, after defraying a few incidental expences, has left upwards of 200 guineas at the disposal of the Committee appointed for its distribution. These gentlemen have most properly determined on supplying the poor with articles of food, firing, and clothing, at less than half price : thus has the exquisite as well as innocent delight afforded by music, been made subservient to the purposes of charity and beneficence. The performance took place on Friday morning last, and as the musical gentlemen of Poole, Wimborne, and Ringwood, kindly and gratuitously assisted on the occasion, a powerful band was collected, the effect of which, in some of Handel's fine chorusses, was awfully grand, and gave inexpressible delight to the numerous auditory. The whole performance was so ably arranged, led, and executed, as to astonish many excellent judges who were present; and it was remarked by all, that the effect of the music was much heightened by the new fine Gothic ceiling lately erected in the nave of the Church.
Extraordinary Match of Cricket.- A match of single innings was played yesterday se'nnight, on the Lake now making in the pleasure grounds of
Sir Thos.Freeman Heathcote, Bart. at Embley, near Winchester, between eleven pleasure ground men, and eleven garden men, for two guineas, which was won by the latter by one run, and two wickets to go down, they having got 100, the former 89. The Lake contains twenty acres of water, and when finished will be upwards of one hundred.
Birth. On Friday the 14th instant, the lady of
Thomas Farley, jun. Esq. of Nether Wallop, was safely delivered of a son and heir, to the inexpressible joy of that family.
On Tuesday last was married, at St.Maurice Church, by the
Rev.H.Hopkins,
Mr.Thomas Harris, of Pamber, to
Miss Amelia Shergold, second daughter of
Mr.Shergold, turner, of this city.
On Thursday last was married, at St.James's Church, London,
Sir James Stuart, Bart. to
Miss Woodcock, daughter of the
Rev.Dr.Woodcock, of Mitchelmarsh, near Romsey.
On Monday the 10th inst.died at Whitchurch, universally respected,
Mrs Catherine Phillips, aged 65 years.
On Monday last died, at St.Mary Bourn,
Mr.William Poore, aged 83, many years a farmer of that place.
On Tuesday morning died
Mrs.Anderson, widow of the late
Mr.Anderson, many years apothecary and druggist, in this city.
On Thursday last died, at Romsey,
Mrs.Withers, wife of
Mr.John Withers, gardener, &c. of that town.
A few days since died, at Abbott's Worthy, near this city,
Mary Smith, in the 97th year of her age; she enjoyed a good state of health till within a short time of her death.
On Tuesday last a man, named
Thomas Keeley, was detected cutting hollies, in the woods of
Sir Thomas Freeman Heathcote, Bart. at Hursley; and on being brought before a magistrate, although his appearance bespoke extreme poverty, he immediately paid the penalty of 40s besides the costs. - This person appeared to have been in the habit of traversing the county, and stealing hollies, to send to the whip-makers in London, for coachmen's whips.
Two inquests were taken by
Mr.Shebbeare last week :- One on the 14th, at Selborne, on the body of
Mary Osgood, an old woman, nearly 80 years of age, who was found dead in her bed.- The other at Froyle, on the body of
Mary Dicker, who was found dead in her bed in the poorhouse there.- Verdict in both cases, "Visitation of God."
An inquest was yesterday taken by
Mr.Todd, at Hilsea Barracks, on view of the body of
John Buckett, who cut his throat. It appeared by the evidence which was produced before the Coroner, that the deceased had shewn frequent symptoms of insanity; and the jury, in consequence, returned their verdict, that the deceased cut his throat, being delirious and out of his mind.- An inquest was on Monday last taken at Romsey, on the body of a new born female infant, which was found concealed. The evidence which was produced before the jury, being sufficient to convince them that the child was still born, they returned a verdict to that effect.
Southampton,
Saturday, Jan.22.
At meetings holden in this town by the District Society for the Deanery of Southampton, in aid of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge, it has been unanimously resolved to endeavour strenuously to counteract the infidel and blasphemous publications which it must be observed with regret are so numerously extant. For this purpose, liberal donations and subscriptions have been made, in order to promote the diffusion of such tracts as are recommended by the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge. The District Society ardently request a general concurrence to support them in their endeavours in so important an object, the extensive utility of which must be too obvious to need any comment.
On Tuesday last a most serious accident happened to
Mr.Dell, auctioneer of this town. Whilst engaged in a shooting excursion in our river near Calshot Castle, his gun burst on the first discharge, and dreadfully shattered his left hand, leaving but a small portion of it attached to his arm. Immediate amputation near the elbow joint was rendered necessary, and this important operation was performed by
Mr.Corfe and
Mr.Keele, surgeons, of this town. Another of the party, who was standing near to
Mr.Dell at the time, narrowly escaped participating in the catastrophe, having received a slight bruise in his shoulder. We are happy to state that
Mr.Dell is now in a fair way of doing well.
Mr.Charles Blanpier, of Trinity, in the island of Jersey, being out shooting on Saturday last, fell over a cliff near his house, and broke his leg. Lying in that state for some time he endeavoured to extricate himself, but in doing so he fell still further, and broke the same leg near his thigh. In this helpless state he lay on the rocks till some persons were attracted by the cries of his dog, who had never left him, and by whose fortunate means he was conveyed home, where he now lies dangerously ill.
Married,
Mr.Keen, grocer, of this town, to
Miss Elizabeth Baker, of Farnham.
On Sunday last died, at her house in this town, in the 83d year of his age,
Mrs.Ogle, relict of the late
Chaloner Ogle, Esq.
On the 15th inst.died, after a short illness,
Mr.John Hillyer, for some time master of the Poor-house of this town.
This week died suddenly,
Mrs.Shackle, widow of the late
Mr.Shackle, formerly of the Three Tuns Inn.
Salisbury,
Monday, Jan.24, 1820.
The
Duke of Kent.- We have received the following authentic reports of the state of his Royal Highness's health :-
Sidmouth, Sunday, Jan.16.- We have the great gratification of announcing, by the bulletin exhibited at Woolbrook-Cottage this day, that "His Royal Highness the
Duke of Kent is somewhat better." - He has been indisposed since Sunday last, with a violent cold; and during the last week has lost 80 ounces of blood. -
Mr.Maguire, his Royal Highness's surgeon, received the royal command to attend at Woolbrook-Cottage yesterday, when his Royal Highness underwent the operation of cupping.
Jan. 18. With great concern we announce, that since Sunday the
Duke of Kent has been much worse. The cold his Royal Highness contracted, by sitting with wet boots after a walk in the environs with Capt.Conroy, has terminated in pleuretic inflammation, with cough.
Mr.Maguire remains in constant attendance. His Royal Highness has undergone the operation of cupping several times, and within the last eight days has lost nearly 100 ounces of blood.
Dr.Maton, of Spring Gardens, arrived express from London four o'clock yesterday afternoon.- The following Bulletin was exhibited this day : "His Royal Highness the
Duke of Kent experienced last night a considerable increase of his complaints, but we find his Royal Highness somewhat better this morning.
(Signed) "
W.G.Maton -
J.Wilson."
"Jan.29 (1,a.m.) - Since the date of our last report, his Royal Highness the
Duke of Kent is become much worse, and his danger is considerably increased.
(Signed) "
W.G.Maton -
J.Wilson."
In addition to the above, the Exeter Gazette of Saturday contains the following intelligence :
The Duchess has been indefatigable in her attention to her illustrious Consort, not having even taken off her clothes for five successive night, and all the medicines have been administered by her own hand.
Generals Wetherall and
Moore are arrived at Sidmouth; the
Duke of Sussex, and
Prince Leopold, brother to the
Duchess of Kent, are hourly expected. Expresses are continually going to London. The following bulletins have been issued :
" Jan.20, (8 a.m.) - H.R.H. the
Duke of Kent continues to be in an extremely critical and alarming state.
" Jan.20, (10 a.m.) - His Royal Highness continues extremely and dangerously ill." - (All signed as above.)
On Friday
Prince Leopold passed through this city on his way to visit the
Duke of Kent at Woolbrook Cottage, Sidmouth. His Royal Highness changed horses at
Johnson's, the Prince Regent's Hotel.
Lord Chamberlain's Office, Jan.17.- The Lord Chamberlain of his Majesty's Household has appointed the
Reverend Edward Bouverie, A.M. Vicar of Coleshill, Berks, Chaplain in Ordinary to his Majesty, in the room of the
Rev.Dr.Wm.Bingham, deceased.
Gazette, Jan.18.
Preferred.-- The
Rev.Thos.Dade, M.A. one of the Senior Fellows of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, to the Rectory of Bincombe and Broadway, in Dorsetshire; patrons, the Masters and Fellows of that Society.
A general meeting of the subscribers to the "Fuel and Potatoe Charity," established in this city, was held on Wednesday last in the Close, at the house of the
Rev.Canon Hume, who presided as chairman. It was then resolved, "that the benefits of the charity should be extended at the present unusually severe season, by a further reduction in the price of coals, and by an encrease of the number of tickets from 400 to 500." Under this new regulation a bushel of coals and a gallon of potatoes will be delivered weekly , till the 1st of March, to 500 poor families, on paying 1s being a gratuity of 1s 6d on every shilling they expend. It is unnecessary to add, that every advantage to the poor cannot be afforded without a great additional demand on the funds of the charity; but the inhabitants of the City, Close, and neighbourhood, are confidently appealed to for a proportionate extension of their bounty toward a charity, which, at this season of unexampled severity, cannot but essentially promote the health and comforts of the poor.- Subscriptions and donations will be received at both the Banks in this city, and by
Mr.Hinxman, the Treasurer and Acting Manager.
We are happy to state, that a Meeting has been held in this city, and a Committee formed, the professed object of which is the amelioration of the condition of the poor. The most experienced persons concur in the opinion that land is the chief, nay only, resource, under the present difficulties of our labouring population. It is therefore confidently hoped that some of our neighbouring land-owners, feeling how nearly their interests are connected with the welfare of this class of their fellow creatures, will facilitate, by every means in their power, so praiseworthy an object.- See adv.in this page.
In this season of distress, the poor of Stourton and Gasper have been liberally supplied with coals, clothing, blankets, and bread, from the benevolence of
Sir Richard Colt Hoare, Bart. and other charitable donations of the families resident in the parish.
We are gratified to record another instance of
Mr.Claude Scott's liberality, - that gentleman having, in the late severe weather, given an ample supply of cloth - and other necessaries, to the poor in the neighbourhood of South Lytchett.
Mr.Methuen has given £20 to the poor of Chitterne All Saints, and the sum of £19 has been subscribed by the parishioners.
A numerous and respectable meeting was held on Monday last at the George Inn, Frome, to take into consideration a plan for giving employment to the labouring poor by
Mr.W.D.Bayley, of that town, which, together with several propositions of a similar nature, had been referred to a select committee of six gentlemen, (of which number
Mr.Davis, of Longleat, was one),
T.S.Champneys, Esq. of Orchardleigh, in the chair. The chairman having read the reports of the select committee upon the different plans laid before them, resolutions were passed relative to the recommendations of the committee, and the feasible part of each respective plan for the relief of the poor-rates, was agreed to be put to the proof. Should these resolutions ultimately meet with the same practical success that the proceedings of the Poor Committee in Frome have done during the last four months, it cannot but lead to a national benefit. The chairman, whose attentions to the cause have continued unvaried, stated that for 17 weeks past no one individual that had applied for work had been sent away empty-handed; and that in addition to the large sum of £1200 which had been subscribed for giving employment to the poor, a sum of £130 had been collected in the last ten days to supply the poor with coal, and a soup committee likewise appointed; added to which a further sum of £200 had been advanced by the Turnpike Commissioners, towards completing a road for which the Poor Committee had voted £300. In fact, unanimity, exertion, and ability, appear to go hand in hand throughout the populous parish of Frome in this benevolent work; and the gratitude of the lower orders in consequence is shewn by their orderly and good conduct.
We understand that most magnificent preparations are making for the ball and supper to be given at Dorchester on the 11th of February, by the Members of
Mr.Farquharson's Hunt; and as the members consist of a great part of the nobility and gentry of the counties of Wilts, Dorset, and Somerset, it is presumed that it will be most numerously and splendidly attended.
A report having been circulated a few days since tending to injure the credit of the Christchurch and Wimborne Bank, (of the firm of
Messrs.Dean and Co.) a considerable number of respectable gentlemen have, as will be seen by an advertisement, publicaly expressed their conviction of the stability of the bank; they also express their perfect conviction that the report was altogether unfounded. -
Messrs.Dean and Co. have very properly offered a reward of one hundred guineas for a discovery of the author of the report.
A most attractive bill of fare is announced for our theatre this evening, being
Dimond's excellent play of The Foundling of the Forest, and
T.Dibden's admired Burletta, called Giovanni in London. The latter piece has never been represented here. It is (as may be supposed) a burlesque on Mozart's very celebrated opera, and the author has been perculiarly felicitous in its composition. To give a description of this truly comic production is impossible; suffice it to say, that it was performed upwards of two hundred nights at the Surrey theatre; and we have every reason to suppose, from the pains which we understand
Mr.Penson has taken in getting the piece up, and from the acknowledged talents of his company, that it will become highly popular here.
The towns of Bradford and Trowbridge have been completely flooded since Tuesday last; in some parts they are obliged to use carts for the purpose of conveying persons to and fro.
On Sunday evening the 16th instant, a most impressive and able discourse was delivered at the Methodist Chapel, in this city, by the
Rev.W.Griffith, of Andover, in behalf of the Benevolent or Stranger's Friend Society. This Society has been established 13 years, and in that period 1586 distressed families and individuals have been relieved by it - After the discourse a collection, amounting to £13 12s 6d was made.
The surprising cures performed at Southampton by our towns-people,
Mr.and Mrs.Wood, have been a subject of conversation at the above place for some time. - Vide Advertisement.
In our account of the Dorsetshire sessions last week, it was omitted to be mentioned, that
Henry Parker, who was sentenced for a year's imprisonment for stealing bees, was, in addition, ordered to be publicly and severely whipt at the parish of Wool; and that
George Britton, convicted of robbing
Michael Clarke of five watch seals and a watch ring, was sentenced to a month's imprisonment and to be publicly and severely whipt at Dorchester.
At the Somersetshire quarter sessions, the following prisoners were sentenced to be transported for seven years, viz.-

Capt.Phipps, R.N.) for obtaining goods under false pretences;

Geo.Mays, for stealing a parcel containing £6; and
John Attwell, for obtaining 20s under false pretences. - Fifty-one prisoners were sentenced to various periods of imprisonment - There were no less that 15 juvenile offenders, from the ages of 10 to 15.

Miss Deane, daughter of
Robert Deane, Esq. of the former place.

Rev.Mr.Parsons,

On Thursday last died, at Warminster,

Rev.Dr.Thring, of Sutton Veny, in this county, aged 64 years.
On Friday last died, much respected,
Mary, wife of
Mr.King, of Compton Chamberlayne, aged 75.
Work having been very scarce at Bradford and Trowbridge, several of the manufacturing labourers have lately drawn coals, in waggons, from the pit's mouth. A fatal accident happened to one of those poor fellows (named
Wats[?]) on Monday last; on coming down a hill between Farleigh and Winfield, his foot slipped, and the waggon going over his body, killed him on the spot. He has left a wife and four children. Three others fell at the same time, but escaped unhurt.

CHRISTCHURCH and WIMBORNE BANK.
We, whose Names are hereunder written, finding that an Attempt has been made to injure the Credit of the Christchurch and Wimborne Bank, of the Firm of
Messrs.Dean and Co. by propagating a Report that they have been connected with the late Bank of Messrs.Smith and Co. of Southampton, and had in consequence stopped Payment, state our perfect conviction that such Report is not only altogether unfounded, but that they are not even Creditors of that Firm. And we hereby declare ourselves perfectly satisfied of the Stability of the Christchurch and Wimborne Bank, and engage to take their Notes to any amount. Dated the 19th of January 1820 :
