On Sunday last, the Lord Bishop of this Diocese held his Annual Ordination in his Chapel at Rose Castle, when the following persons
were admitted into Holy Orders:— 

 

Priests.—Thomas BELLAS, A. M. of Queen's College, Oxford; J. R. HUNTON, A. B. of Clare Hall, Cambridge; John ORMANDY, John THERTON,
Thomas THEXTON, and William WALTON. 

 

Deacons.—John HEYSHAM, A. B. of St. John's College, Cambridge; Robert MONKHOUSE, and Christopher JACKSON. 

 

On Saturday last, James BELL and Robert PAISLOW were committed to Carlisle gaol by the Rev. Dr. LOWRY and Dr. HEYSHAM, for
unlawfully killing a hare on Sunday the 16th day of June, in the parish of Kirkandrews-upon-Esk. 

 

On Tuesday last, a young man about 18 years of age, a drover, while passing over the bridge at the foot of this city, dropped down
and expired on the spot. He is a native of Lochabor, in Scotland, and had been ill for some days; so much so at last, that on his
journey from Penrith to this city he could not walk, and was put into a cart. His anxiety to get home induced him again to go on,
but his journey was ended in death. A blood vessel was ruptured in the brain. 

 

There is now to be seen in a stable on the East Walls of this City, "The Dunearn Ox," rising six years old, bred at Hillside, in the
parish of Aberdour, Fifeshire, and fed on the produce of the farm alone, without Oil Cake. This animal is of a cross breed, purely
Scotch, and the admiration of all who behold it, whether for size, symmetry, or fatness. As it is on its way to the Workington
Agricultural Meeting, and many bets are depending, we forbear to mention either its height, girth, or weight. It is remarkably
quiet. 

 

THEATRE.—Our Readers will see with pleasure that Mr. M'CREADY opens the Theatre in this city, on Monday the 29th inst. The House
will continue open only a short time, but during which, we understand Mr. M'C. will, as usual, bring forward much novelty. The
public have had sufficient proofs of the manager's liberal exertions to be assured of this.—See Advt. 

 

The long pending match between OLIVER and CARTER is at last finally brought to a conclusion; and the battle will certainly take
place in the vicinity of Carlisle at our Races, for 200 guineas. The friends of CARTER have already deposited, according to
agreement, their quota of the stakes; and the battle is expected to excite more public curiosity than any one that has been fought
since the days of Big Ben and JOHNSTON. CARTER is at present sparring his way down to the North along with PAINTER; and OLIVER has
already left town to put himself under the tuition of the celebrated Captain BARCLAY, who backs him for 100 guineas on the present
occasion.—Betting at present even. 

 

On Wednesday last, the infant son of Mr. PARKIN, tanner, of Stang-Beck, near Workington, fell into one of the pits while playing in
the tan-yard, and was unfortunately drowned. 

 

Salmon was so plentiful in Workington Market on Wednesday, that it could not all be sold at the price of 4½d. per lb. 

 

Our Cockermouth Correspondent says—"The prospect of an abundant harvest of all kinds of grain in this part of the country is very
flattering. Hay harvest has generally commenced; the sown grass is a heavy crop; the levy is light on bad land, in consequence of
the backward spring. 

 

The General Quarter Sessions for the county of Westmorland were holden at Appleby, on Monday last, but there was no business of
public importance. 

 

Mr. Alderman Smith WILSON, has been elected Mayor of Kendal for the ensuing year. 

 

Windermere Regatta will be on the 28th of August. 

 

The remains of the late Bishop of Landaff have been interred in Bowness Church, for which purpose a new vault was constructed. 

 

The remains of Lady Diana FLEMING have been deposited in the family burying place at Grassmere. 

 

The body of the unfortunate girl, SOWERBY, who drowned herself last week, near Warwick Bridge, was taken out of the Eden on Monday,
near Rickerby. 

 

The Rev. Mr. HUGHES and the Rev. Mr. STEINKOPFF, two of the Secretaries of the British and Foreign Bible Society, are expected to
take a tour through the northern counties in the course of next month, visiting the various Auxiliary Societies in their route. 

 

The small pox has appeared in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and according to a letter from Dr. TROTTER, near 100 children have died within
three months.—The mortality in North and South Shields was still greater. The Doctor strongly urges the necessity of the
interference of the legislature, and the Governors of the Dispensatory, to encourage or enforce vaccine inoculation, being the only
means of exterminating this fatal disease.
