A dispensation has passed the Great Seal, for the Rev. Wm. CARUS WILSON, M. A. and Chaplain to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, to hold the Rectory of Whittington with the vicarage of Tunstall. And on the 16th instant, the Rev. Wm. CARUS WILSON was instituted by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, to the living of Whittington, on the presentation of W. W. C. WILSON, Esq. M. P.
The Rev. William BRADSHAW has been inducted to the perpetual curacy of Over Kellet, near Lancaster.
On Thursday the 26th ult., Mr. Robert SKELTON was chosen master of the endowed school at Haltwhistle, advertised in this Paper.
The Royal Cumberland Militia, commanded by Lieut. Colonel LACY, assembled at Whitehaven yesterday week, for twenty eight days' training and exercise. The regiment consists of about six hundred men, and to the credit of the county upwards of 490 were upon the parade on the first day, and a great number who had to travel from distant parts of the kingdom have since joined them; so that very few, if any, but whose non-attendance can be satisfactorily accounted for, are expected to be absent. Their accoutrements were given to them on Saturday, on Sunday morning they appeared on the parade in uniform, and afterwards attended divine service. They were extremely clean, and in appearance fully support the character which the Royal Cumberland has always maintained. On Monday morning they commenced their military evolutions in a field near Hensingham.
We have often heard travellers speak of the jolting and tardy progress of the stage coaches in this county, but never before knew of an instance in which a passenger in any of these vehicles was literally shaken limb from limb. This however was actually the case on Sunday afternoon. On the arrival of the Royal Sailor coach at the Black Lion, an outside passenger seemed in great trepidation and alarm when he began to prepare for alighting, at finding that he had parted with a very important member somewhere in the course of his journey—in short, he had lost his wooden leg!—Cumberland Pacquet.
The Isle of Man Bill was read a third time in the House of Lords, on Monday evening, and passed.
On Monday last, the Earl of Lonsdale entertained the Duke of Grafton and a large party to dinner, at his Lordship's house, in Charles-street, Berkeley-square.
On Wednesday last, Charles O'NEIL was removed from Appleby Gaol, pursuant to his sentence of transportation. This unfortunate being had his left thigh broken in two places, about three months ago, by a fall in attempting to escape; and a few months previous to that he fractured his right leg, purposely it is believed, thinking thereby to prevent his sentence from being carried [at least one line missing].
ISLE OF MAN.—Connubial discrepancies, of a particular nature, are so very extraordinary in this country, we must consider any instance of that kind a great novelty. A whole street and neighbourhood within this town have been thrown into commotion for some time from a cause, the particulars of which, as nearly as may be, are as follow: A man of the name of CALLOW, having lived separate from his wife for some time, lodged with a family of the name of CORKILL. The other day CORKILL having occasion to attend a meeting of a benefit society in the country, was for some hours absent from his house, when CORKILL's wife and his wifeless guest, took the opportunity to treat one another to ardent spirits; and not having ended the banquet before his return, invited the travelled husband to partake, who plied the glass so heartily that he was obliged to retire to bed. The wife and her paramour having meantime possessed themselves of certain moveables, such as cash, a watch, &c. &c. took their departure for Whitehaven early the next morning. The feelings of the deserted husband may better be imagined than described. In short, after a fortnight's reflection, he followed the authors of his chagrin and unutterable shame to Whitehaven, where they had taken up their abode, having first furnished himself with the necessary documents for their apprehension there. CALLOW was in consequence imprisoned—but, CORKILL not appearing to prosecute, was soon liberated. The husband returned with his frail partner to their residence in Big-well-street. The paramour follows—and the vicinage of the uncongenial trio has been ever since one continuous scene of riot. No sooner is CORKILL gone out, but CALLOW is with his wife—and has taken full possession of the house. The injured husband very naturally asserts his right to his faithless spouse—in the attempt, he is knocked down stairs—legal measures follow.—On Tuesday last an order was issued for CALLOW's apprehension—he manœuvres off! is pursued by the Constables—a desperate run is made through various streets, into houses, by back doors and front doors, over walls, &c. &c. to the great amusement of the "mob-leg," who lustily huzzaed in the chase, and caused a most ludicrous scene, but who were greatly disappointed and mortified when he at length fell into the clutches of the law.—Douglas Advt.
Keswick Whitsun-hiring on Saturday was numerously attended by servants of both sexes. Those likely for service, both male and female, very soon obtained masters, and at wages higher than have been given for some years past. The day was delightfully fine, and the attendance of country people unusually great.
At the Appleby Whitsuntide fair, servants went off well and obtained good wages. The best wages for men, £12; and for women, £6.
Arrived at Carlisle from Liverpool, the Crown, RAE, with Agricultural salt for R. ALLISON.
On Tuesday last, was launched from the building yard of Mess. John PEAT & Co., Maryport, a new vessel, brig rigged, and registering 90 tons, called the Linnet.
The Schooner, Sally, belonging to Stephen MOORE, of Maryport, was lost about three weeks since, off the Feroe [sic] Island. The master and two men were drowned. One man, of the name of MASON, belonging to Maryport, was providentially saved, by clinging to the vessel. The three unfortunate men took the boat, and were lost.
The Mally, of Workington, from Kilrush to Liverpool, which was on shore on the rocks near Bally-halberts, has been got off, and carried into Donaghadee.

Yes, I use the term “local” news rather loosely… exactly because most people have ancestors who moved around into neighbouring counties.
By the way, Sue, did you see my email regarding your Richard JOHNSTON?

I found it fascinating to read the reports about the Isle of Man in Cumberland sources! One side of my husband's family are from the Isle of Man and this had opened up a whole new possibility of more local research! Thanks Petra
