The Dean and Chapter have elected the Rev. John HEYSHAM, B. A. of St. John's College, Cambridge, a minor Canon of the Cathedral of
Carlisle. 

 

Our Theatre opens on Monday night with 'Lovers' Vows' and 'The Poor Soldier,' with other entertainments. We observe among the
company several strange faces; we shall have an opportunity in our next of speaking of their merits.—See Advt. 

 

A serious accident happened to Mr. CHRISTOPHERSON, sen., auctioneer, on the night of yesterday se'nnight. He was returning home from
a sale at Warwick, in company with Mr. John HOLME, of Scotch-street; and the gig in which they rode coming in contact with a coal
cart, upset. Mr. CHRISTOPHERSON falling rather heavy, had two of his ribs and a thumb broken. Mr. HOLME escaped uninjured. 

 

On Tuesday last, David HENDERSON, late merchant in Glasgow, a fraudulent Bankrupt, escaped from the Bush Inn, in this City. He had
been apprehended in Liverpool, and was under care of peace officers, on his way to Glasgow. HENDERSON is a native of Annan, about 24
years of age, five feet eleven inches high, has an aqualine nose, a mark on the left side of the mouth from the nose to the chin,
and his teeth are very open in front. 

 

On Tuesday last, a daring robbery was committed at one o'clock in the afternoon, on Carlisle road, about a mile from Wigton. A man
was stopped by two men and a boy, whom they plundered of 17 guineas, and 23 one pound notes of the Glasgow Bank, one note value 30s.
of the Irish Bank, and 12 Irish ten-penny pieces. One of the men has lost an eye, had on an old glazed hat, a long brown coat, and
dark breeches; he appears to be about 30 years of age. The other man had on a round jacket of dark corduroy, trousers of the same
kind, and a hat tucked up behind; he appeared to be between 20 and 30 years of age. The boy is about 15 years of age and had on a
blue jacket & grey trowsers. 

 

We understand that a meeting of the Trustees of the New Road from Carlisle to Glasgow, will take place at Hamilton, near Glasgow, on
Tuesday the 30th inst. for the purpose of entering into resolutions for carrying into effect the late Act of Parliament passed for
improving that road, which, no doubt, will be numerously and respectably attended. The improvement is of a nature to excite
universal interest, and certainly will be of infinite advantage to the United Kingdom. 

 

On Wednesday last, the Carlisle Eden Lodge of Gardeners, held their usual annual festival, on which occasion they walked in
procession to the Scotch Chapel, where a sermon suitable to the occasion was delivered by the Rev. Mr. HENDERSON, from Hebrews,
chapter xiii, verse 1, "Let Brotherly Love continue." After Divine Service they paraded through the principal streets, preceded by a
band of lively music, in the following order of procession—the Brethren wearing blue aprons appropriately decorated with emblematic
devices, and bearing bouquets of flowers in their bosoms— 

 

Tyler, with drawn Sword.

Two Stewards, each with bunches of Grapes.

Flag.

Band of Music.

In the afternoon a considerable party sat down to dinner in the Moot-Hall fitted up for the purpose and decorated in all the 'charms
of Nature.' At the upper end were three Alcoves, under the Centre of which sat the President. These Alcoves were formed of various
shrubs and flowers, to which were suspended grapes, gooseberries, &c. in a state of great perfection. Other parts of the Hall were
appropriately decorated with garlands, &c. The usual toasts were drank, and several songs sung; the whole was conducted with harmony
and conviviality. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, the festival was not so numerously attended as last year.
The design of this society is laudable and productive of good effects. It keeps up among the profession a proper feeling—a brotherly
love and respect—and also serves to disseminate a taste for horticultural pursuits. The gardener can justly boast the importance and
the antiquity of his occupation—for it is coeval with mankind.
