On the second day's drawing of the State Lottery, on the 26th January inst. No. 2330 was drawn a Prize of ONE THOUSAND POUNDS one
Eighth of which was sold by Mr. JOHN JOLLIE, Bookseller, Carlisle. 

 

The Lord Bishop of Carlisle has appointed the Rev. Walter FLETCHER, Vicar of Dalston, and officiating Chaplain at Rose Castle for
the last 20 years, to the office of Chancellor of this Diocese, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. GRISDALE. 

 

The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to appoint Mr. James NICHOLSON, late of Lowther, to be Surveyor of Taxes for Cumberland
Ward, in this county, in the room of Mr. John FLEMING, removed to the Hundred of Lonsdale, North of the Sands, Lancashire. 

 

Mr. Robert MURRAY, of Tarnrigg-moor, near Wigton, reared a calf, that was exposed for sale in our market on Saturday last; which,
though only 14 weeks old, weighed 73 pounds per qr. 

 

Mr. William GILL, farmer at Flimby, on his return from Workington market, on Wednesday se'nnight, fell from his horse, and was so
dreadfully bruised that he died soon after. 

 

KIRKOSWALD, Jan. 26.-It is with extreme reluctance we are compelled to state, that the solemnity of the last Sabbath was
outrageously disturbed by a man, who had the audacity to roast a whole sheep on the ice of the river Eden, which attracted the
attention of a vast concourse of people, most of whom had neglected divine service in the morning, from the insignificant and lazy
plea of the inclemency of the weather. We are happy, however, to remark that no lives were lost; notwithstanding the ice, at various
times, from its cracking, indicated the perilous situation of the misguided populace. We presume that if any Magistrate, during
these eventful times, in which so much zeal is every where evinced for the propagation of the gospel, had been acquainted with the
circumstance, he would have prevented this mistaken man from carrying his unholy scheme into execution.-A man, in the vicinity of
Kirkoswald, was lately fined by the Magistrates for killing game, and the penalty distributed to the poor of the parish. Such acts
of charity, unquestionably, in these calamitous times, deserve the highest approbation of the public. 

 

Yesterday week 15 debtors were discharged from our gaol, and 1 remanded; from Newcastle, on Wednesday se'nnight, 17 were discharged;
and from Lancaster Castle, on Saturday se'nnight, 139 were discharged, and five retained. 

 

The first division of the Royal Cumberland Militia marched into Kilbeggan, in the county of Westmeath (Ireland), on the 31st ult.
and the second, the following day. Kilbeggan is the head-quarters till further orders.-The volunteering for foreign service was well
supported by the corps; but an adequate number of non-commissioned officers and privates did not offer. 

 

In the year 1796 there were 301 funerals at the parish church in Kendal, 92 of which were occasioned by the small pox; only two of
them were inoculated out of that number. It is rather remarkable that, in the months of November and December that year, there were
105 funerals, 67 of which were the effect of the small pox.
