    3. Saturday 05 Dec 1818 (p. 2, col. 6 and p. 3, col. 2) The statement of the Earl of Carlisle's ill health, which we copied from the Kendal Chronicle, is unfounded. Col. Wilson Gale BRADDYLL, whose sudden death was announced in our last paper, was the eldest son of John GALE, Esq., of Whitehaven, and was born in that town in 1755. He was 39 years in the Commission of the Peace for Lancashire, served the office of Sheriff for the same County in 1778, and was one of the Members of Parliament for the Borough of Lancaster from 1780 to 1784. He also represented the City of Carlisle from 1790 to 1796. His remains have been interred at Ulverstone. It is reported that there is a probability of a new Church being shortly erected somewhere in the parish of St. Mary's, Carlisle. We know not on what foundation it rests,—but such a measure would be of great public benefit, especially, if there were a liberal proportion of free seats. There is now in the shrubbery of David KENNEDY, Esq., of Crosby, near this City, a Laburnum tree in full bloom. A number of Swallows have been seen at different times during this and the preceding week, at Brampton. On Tuesday last, a hare that had been started about the Red Dial, ran down Wigton Streets, followed by the dogs, although crowded with people, (it being market-day). Poor puss was so closely pressed that she took shelter in Mr. RIGG's kitchen, where she was preserved from the death which must soon have overtaken her, had she not found this friendly asylum. A young man named PEARSON, aged 16, was killed last week in a coal mine at Bolton, near Wigton, in consequence of the breaking of a rope, as he was descending the shaft: he fell upwards of 50 fathoms, and died almost instantly. The statement relative to the breaking up of the Workington Card Assembly, on the receipt of the news of her Majesty's death, is altogether an imposition, sent to the Whitehaven Paper by some simpleton, who seems to have more time than sense. Robert STEWART, Esq., has taken the oaths as Receiver-General for the Isle of Man. On Thursday se'nnight, a very numerous and highly respectable meeting was held at the New Inn, Temple-Sowerby for the purpose of promoting the interests of the Bible Society.—W. CRACKENTHORPE, Esq. was called to the chair, and addressed the meeting; after which the Rev. R. M'LEAN, and W. D. CREWDSON, Esq. both of Kendal, the Rev. Mr. THORN, of Penrith; the Rev. W. WILSON, of Tunstal; and the Rev. Mr. ROBINSON, of Newbiggin, also addressed the assembly with great effect.—A series of resolutions were passed: and at the close of the meeting the sum of £32 6s. 6d. was collected. We understand that the cause James NICHOLSON and William NICHOLSON v. James DAVIS and Giles MOORE, Esqrs. in replevin; referred to Montague AINSLEY, Esq. at the last Appleby Assizes, has terminated in favour of the defendants, who have had an award for £70 and costs of suit; each party paying their own expences of the reference. Thursday the 26th ult. the Lonsdale Bank for Saving was opened in Kirkby Lonsdale, at the house of Mr. GREGG.
