The materials forming one of the centers of the new bridge, building over the Eden, is to be sold by auction. This is a most
favourable opportunity for those who intend building a new bridge.-See adv. 

 

Mr. BORTHWICK's Ball will be at the assembly-room on the 10th inst.-See Adv. 

 

Wragmire Hunt will on the 14th instant.-See Adv. 

 

We would advise the public to be particularly on their guard during the winter nights against the depredations, &c. of the
unprincipled.-Early on the morning of Sunday last, a fellow was discovered on the roof of a house in Scotch street; being
challenged, he gave some insolent language, and, favoured by the darkness, disappeared. 

 

The Quarterly Meeting of the Carlisle Diocesan Committee for promoting Christian Knowledge, was held in the Town Hall in this city,
on the 27th ult. and was most respectably attended-the Lord Bishop of Carlisle in the Chair. Several new Members were proposed, and
it was resolved that a Depot of Bibles, Testaments, Prayer Books, Psalters, and the Society's Tracts, should be ordered, for the
benefit and accommodation of all who are connected with the Society. 

 

Pursuant to advertisement, a very respectable meeting of the friends of the Lancasterian mode of education took place on Thursday at
the Town Hall of this city; when some resolutions were passed, and a very gratifying report read of the state of the establishment.
The report supersedes any observations we might make upon the beneficial objects of education in general, and more particularly upon
that system which has met with so many advocates: we therefore refer our readers to it (see adv.), hoping that no relaxation will
ever take place in forwarding what is so eminently beneficial to the temporal and eternal concerns of the human race. 

 

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the Royal Cumberland Militia arrived here from Liverpool, on their route to Edinburgh
Castle.-The Cumberland was amongst the militia regiments the disbanding of which had been countermanded on account of the increased
activity of military preparations against America.-The following are other corps which were halted on their march to disembodying
quarters, and ordered to march to the following places:-The Bedford militia to Colchester; Berkshire to Liverpool; Cambridgeshire to
Derby and Nottingham; Carmarthen to Milford Haven; Derby to Plymouth; South Lincoln to Chatham.-It is reported, probably without
foundation, that it is the intention of government to call out those regiments that have been disembodied. 

 

THE DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGING OF YOUNG TREES- Is, we are sorry to state, a very prevailing species of mischief too much practised by
youths of abandoned character, an instance of which we witnessed last week in a newly-planted orchard adjoining the West Walls,
belonging the Corporation, and which has been greatly improved. The day after the fruit-trees were planted, a number of profligate
boys amused themselves for a considerable time with what they termed "firing" at them with stones; whereby several branches were
broken before they were discovered.-By the prompt exertions of Mr. FAULDER, dyer, the names of the juvenile depredators were found
out; and as they belonged to the Central School,-on application to the master, they received a discipline suitable to the
offence.-On this occasion we refrain from publishing names; but we pledge ourselves, in case of similar offences, to give every
exposure in our power.
