DEATHS.

 

It has not fallen to our lot to record the death of one whose loss will be more sincerely regretted than that of James WATSON, Esq. of Low Plains, in this county, which was occasioned by a fall from his horse on Thursday the 23rd of February last, near the Roman station, at Plumpton. He was immediately conveyed to the adjoining house of Mr. NOBLE, farmer, where medical and surgical assistance was promptly afforded, but in vain. After lingering out a few days of excruciating suffering, with a degree of patience and fortitude that never forsook him, he died on Sunday last the 5th inst. amidst friends, who had enjoyed and fully appreciated the blessings and comforts of his society. Thus terminated the short but active life of one whose early habits of piety had imparted to his amiable disposition those principles of integrity which governed the whole of his professional conduct as a land-surveyor, &c. and in questions of difficulty, when the interests of contending parties were involved, stamped upon his decisions the unerring character of truth.

 

This week, Mr. James NICHOLSON, of Rickergate, aged 21; Mr. Duncan COWAN, of broom-hills, aged 95; Ann WEIGHT, of Shaddongate, aged 84; Mr. James ARMSTRONG, Caldew-brow, aged 46.—At Penrith, on Sunday last, Mrs. Hannah HODGSON, church-yard, aged 60; same day, Mrs. Isabella BELL, aged 78; on Monday, Mr. Wm. ATKINSON, lime-burner, for MARVEL and GRAHAM, aged 67. At Terril, near Penrith, on Tuesday, Mary, the wife of Mr. John SLEE, aged 66, one of the society of Friends. Her death will be long and sincerely regretted by her numerous family. She was held in high estimation by the young gentlemen educated in the mathematics by her son; and the want of her benevolence to the poor in the neighbourhood will be materially felt by those who participated in her bounty.—At Maryport, on Monday last, Mr. John HODGSON, many years master of the Marigold.—On Thursday se'nnight, after a lingering and painful illness, which she bore with great fortitude and resignation to the Divine Will, Mary, wife of Mr. Thomas MOFFIT, of Scaleby, aged 70 years.—At Workington, Mrs. E. MORLEY, aged 67. Mr. M. PENNY, 56.—At Cockermouth, Mrs. YOUNGHUSBAND, 89.—At Sorgill, Loweswater, Margaret, daughter of Mr. Isaac FEARON, one of the Society of Friends.—At Beckermont, Mr. T. SKELTON, innkeeper.—At Kirkland, Kendal, a few days ago, in her 60th year, Miss REMINGTON, sister of W. REMINGTON, Esq., banker, London.—At Dumfries, Mr. DINWIDDIE, cabinet-maker, aged 50. Mr. J. PRIMROSE, shoe maker, 76.—At Paisley, on Monday week, Mr. John GOLDIE, Editor of the Paisley Advertiser. His death was awfully sudden.—Last week, in London, Viscount CARLETON aged 87.—At Market Weighton, Ann HOLMES, at the advanced age of 117.
