CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORLAND ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY......Part II THE ANNUAL BUSINESS MEETING continued........... The Chairman said he had seen the Bishop in London, and his lordship said he would be glad to receive the Society at Rose Castle, naming the 6th Aug. as a day which would suit him very well. However, as the Volunteer Review was to be held on the 7th, it might not be generally convenient. MR. R. S. FERGUSON said the review might militate against the success of the meeting. COLONEL NEWDIGATE was anxious they should visit Carlisle Castle, which was about to be greatly altered by Government, and it was desirable to show the great public interest taken in the old fortress. Indeed, the COLONEL wished to entertain the members, but he told him that was out of the question. He believed, however, that MR. ROBERT FERGUSON, who was one of their vice-presidents, wished to receive them at Morton in the evening, if it was a two days’ meeting. The arrangements were left to a small local committee, MR. FERGUSON promising to get up a paper upon the Castle, and adding that he believed he could procure some capital old views for exhibition, showing the Castle before Queen Mary’s Tower was pulled down, and MR. HEAD might lend them his fine oil painting. The subject of the third meeting this year was mentioned but nothing was decided. The Chairman said it was desirable to have some papers on the habits and customs of the people. The following new members were then proposed and elected: LIEUT.-COLONEL BRISTOWE, Eusmere; MR. W. NANSON, Carlisle; the REV. C. H. GEM, Penrith; PROFESSOR HARKNESS, Penrith; MR. D. R. HARRISON, Carlisle; the REV. J. CHAPELHOW, Kirkby Stephen; the REV. R. W. DIXON, Carlisle; DR.
