At Catlody, suddenly, Mr. John Forster. At Dalston, 66, Mr. W. Cockton. CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND. There is now in Mr. Mathew Brougham's museum at Maryport, a singular animal caught in a swamp in America. It has a flat head, somewhat resembling a snake's, with two rows of teeth: its neck gradually swells from the head to the shoulders; on its back is a broad hard shell, stronger and rounder than that of a tortoise, by means of which the animal, when alive, could move with a man on its back. From the extremities of the head and tail the length is about two feet five inches; the latter is about nine inches long, and resembling a saw, having horny buttons or knobs on the upper side; its body is round, and its legs are very strong, and on each are five toes armed with nails resembling those of a dunghill cock, but longer. When taken, small cords were put through the sides of his mouth, and it was lashed to something on deck, having no other way to secure it, when, by its working to get free, and its great strength, it tore out the hold the cord had on its cheeks. At Low Sizergh, lately, Wm. Leeming, with a common flail, thrashed 56 threaves, 15 sheaves of oats, in the short space of 4 hours, 35 minutes; the oats when dressed, measured above 14 loads, or 107 Winchester bushels. At Morpeth, a servant in husbandry was very properly fined five pounds, to be deducted from his wages, for barbarously beating over the head a cart-mare the perty of his master.

At Cowen-head paper-mill, 41, Mr. John Hadman; he was in the act of drawing a staple from a wince post, near the ma chinery, situated on the ground floor of the second mill, the works then going, when one end of the iron screw-key, which he had in his hand for the purpose, came in contact with the fly-wheel, by which it was struck with such violence that it caused the other end to penetrate his head above the right eye with such velocity as to force a part of the hat into his head. At Dalton in Furness, 39, Mr. William Close, surgeon and apothecary. His death is deeply lamented by the inhabitants of Furness, who deservedly esteemed him for his diligent attention to the duties of his profession. In his attendance on the sick he was delicate and tender-hearted; and always ready, without recompense, to give assistance to the poor. Amidst the daily labours of his profession, he composed and published several writings of great merit on various subjects, but chiefly on philosophy and the arts. In his papers, in Nicholson's Journal, he details, in ele gant and perspicuous language, the particulars of many inventions and discoveries, which displayed great talents and originality of invention. The learning he derived from education was obtained be fore he was ten years of age, and Lily's Grammar was the only book he was taught at school. In 1805 he published a new edition of West's Antiquities of Furness, L 2 which which he newly arranged; abridging the redundant matter, and added a Supplement, containing much new and valuable information. In 1810, he laid before the Society of Arts and Manufactures his improvements in the trumpet, bugle and French horns,for which the Society awarded him the gold medal. He, however, declined accepting it, and sold the instruments to Mr. Perceval, music-seller, who obtained a patent for them, and is now publishing them with great applause. These instruments, in their improved state, are distinguished by the name of Polyphonian, and the improvements cousist in their being rendered almost as comprehensive in their scales as the German flute, by means of tubular appendages, which are furnished with secret ducts for carrying off the water, and they are played by the fingers. Mr. Close expressed a great desire to sec, before he died, a Polyphonian French horn, which Mr. Perceval had informed him was in progress, but it did not arrive till the day after his death. Soon after Christmas Mr. Close felt that he was attacked by consumption, which, gradually increasing, terminated his existence on the 27th of last month. He was buried, at hus own request, at Walney, in a spot of ground upon which he had often played when a boy. No man ever excelled him in the virtues of candour, sincerity, and benevolence. YORKSHIRE. Several thousand spectators in number, lately assembled on the Heath at Wakefield, to witness the performance of Wood, the pedestrian, who was matched to run twenty miles in two hours and fifteen minutes, which he accomplished in two hours eleven minutes and a half. It appears from the enumeration of places made by Mr. Wynne In the House of Commons, that one town in Yorkshire is disgraced by an Orange Lodge, and that is Halifax! The head of these Lodges in England assembles in Vere-street, London. At a Meeting held at the White Horse Inn, Leeds, on Wednesday, the 7th of July, for the purpose of aiding the Church Missionary Society, for Africa and the East, (Henry Hall, esq.

So that, on an average, each individual cost the General Hospital about 4s. 74d. A singular coincidence. A spirited writer, in that superior provincial paper, the Nottingham Review, in describing the effects of the public delusion after the late capture of the French depot at Vittoria, affirms that "a majority of the immense population of London consists of persons the most frivolons and the easiest to be imposed upon of any people in England, Scotland, and Ireland." He then draws a humorous, and we fear a just, portrait of what he calls "the ebullition of cockney folly, whenever to serve any purpose it is deemed necessary to divert the cockneys by sound and show,-by firing of guns and illuminations of public offices." At the sale of several valuable estates belonging to the Duke of Devonshire, a numerous and respectable company assembled at the Blackmoor in Nottingham. They fetched in the aggregate nearly 240,000. Every lot at Newark was purchased by Robert Holden, esq. of Darley Abbey, for 17,000l.: yet it is remarkable that this part of the property was let for only 901. per annum! The Ruddington estate was sold in four lots, and purchased by Mr. Breedon, for upwards of 40,000l. Among the purchasers were Ichabod Wright, esq.; Lord Middleton; James Hooley, esq.; John Bates, esq.; Mr. Damms, &c. The duty arising from the sale amounts to about 60001. or one-fourth more than the whole rental. The editor of the Nottingham Review states, that JOHN SMITH, esq. one of the representatives of Nottingham, was to have seconded Mr. Whitbread's motion for Peace, had not that gentleman been prevailed upou to suspend the motion on account of the embarrassments of ministers.
