The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833/Sporting Calculations
|
| |
The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833 Sporting Calculations First, in the course of a long day's hunting, it is 10 to 1 in favour of a bold and good rider well mounted, that he meets any accident at all. Secondly supposing he falls, it is 8 to 1 that neither he nor his horse is materially injured. Third, it is 6 to 1 the horse is hurt, and not the rider. Fourth, if the rider is hurt, it is 12 to 1 that a bone is not broken. Fifth, it is 20 to 1, if a bone is broken, that the would is not mortal. Ergo 10x8x6x20 115,200 1x1x1x1x1-1; and 115,200; thus stated, it details; that he has no fall, is 10 to 1 that himself or horse is not hurt, 80 to 1 that no bone is broken, 5,700 to 1 that the hurts is not mortal, 115,200 to 1. Ergo, out of 115,200 persons who go out hunting in the morning, only one is supposed to end his course in that way, from the effect of that day's diversion.... more »

The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833 Parliamentary intelligence The Parliamentary Intelligence of the week is so important, that in order to make room for as copious an abstract of it as possible, we are compelled very much to abridge the space which we usually assign to our weekly comments. The house has got through more work in the last week than in any week since its commencement, and many highly important measures have passed through different stages almost sub silentio.... more »

The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833/The Winter
|
| |
The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833 The Winter Some singular facts are connected with the winter which is passing over our heads. As little of severe weather has been felt in this country as under more northern skies. The merry note of the lark was heard in Denmark in the beginning of last month; nor has there been any cold of moment in the north of Russia. The centre of Europe has experienced but little cold weather, and still less snow; even in Prussia scarcely a flake has been seen. The south exhibits a singular contrast; and the midland of Asia seems to have been the rallying point of cold. Turkey in Europe, too, has been afflicted with its worst extremes; at Odessa it has prevailed without intermission; and the Ottoman Monitor tells us that its severity in Turkey is Asia has been such as to have greatly contributed to the suspension of military operations. In Persia, and the southern provinces of the Russian empire, it is said to have been altogether unprecedented in its virulence. Such a thing as winter is known by the name only in Tiflis and Erivan, where the roses bloom in the month of January; but this year the cold has been intenser than is ever felt in the north of Europe.... more »

The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday April 23, 1833/Admiral Lord GAMBIER
|
| |
The Whitehaven Herald, Tuesday, April 23, 1833 Admiral Lord GAMBIER Admiral Lord GAMBIER died at four o'clock on Friday morning, at his house at Iver, near Uxbridge, in the 77th year of his age. His lordship was one of the few remaining gallant officers who had a command in the glorious battle of the 1st of June. On that occasion he commanded the Defence of 74 guns, which was the first ship that broke the line. The Defence was dismasted in the action, and had to contend with two French ships of the line, one on each side, both of which struck to him. At Copenhagen Lord GAMBIER was the Commander-in-Chief of the naval forces, and for that service was rewarded with title and a pension of £2,000 a year, which latter he generously declined. His lordship again commanded the naval force against the French fleet in the Basque-roads.... more »
