    3. LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS......Part 1 PRESENTATION. – On Tuesday evening, Brother PETERS was presented by the members of the Inglewood Lodge of Good Templars, at Penrith, with a handsome timepiece, on the occasion of his marriage. THE LATE MR. MOULD. – Intelligence has been received from Spain of the death of MR. MOULD, railway contractor, well-known in connection with the construction of the Lancaster and Carlisle and Caledonian Railways. THE FACTORIES’ BILL. – Among the 61 members who on Tuesday night voted for MR. FAWCETT’s amendment to the Factories’ Bill, exempting adult women from its operation, were MR. ROBERT FERGUSON, SIR WILFRID LAWSON, MR. ISAAC FLETCHER, MR. WHITWELL, and MAJOR F. BEAUMONT. LOCAL PETITIONS TO PARLIAMENT. – In the House of Commons on Monday night, the HON. PERCY WYNDHAM presented a petition from the REV. JAS. THWAITES, of Caldbeck, praying for a redress of grievances; and on Wednesday night MR. PLIMSOLL presented a petition from Westmorland, in favour of his measure for the survey of shipping. VOLUNTEER PIC-NIC IN PENRITH. – The Inglewood Rifle Volunteers held a pic-nic in a field over the railway bridge on Thursday afternoon. Thunder clouds and drenching showers, however, are anything but desirable accessories to an al fresco fete; and only few were courageous enough to face the “pelting of the pitiless storm” in the earlier part of the proceedings; but in the evening, when the weather was comparatively favourable, the attendance was considerably increased. THE VOLUNTEER CAMP AT WINDERMERE. – The volunteers encamped at Windermere were inspected on Wednesday last by COLONEL WILBY, C.B., the Government Inspector of Volunteers for the district. The total number of men of all ranks under arms on the review ground was 587. The troops were put through a variety of movements, at the close of which they were addressed by MAJOR AINSWORTH, who said he was happy to hear that they might expect a favourable report. The men were then dismissed and the campaign concluded.
