NEW CHURCHES.—We are happy in reporting the progress of the subscription now raising for the erection of a new church in each of the parishes of this city. The object is perhaps the greatest and most beneficial that ever was submitted to the inhabitants of Carlisle; and the contributions which we have the pleasure of announcing, shew that it has been duly appreciated. We trust also that many, who from absence or other cause have not yet had an opportunity of contributing, will view it in the same light, and meet it in the same way. Great benefits cannot be had without some sacrifices; and this is a great benefit. It is also a lasting benefit. A considerable effort may be necessary to achieve it; but it will be only a single effort. It will occur but once; and the churches will remain, to distant generations, monuments of the zeal and attachment to the established church which animated the contributors. It were well that these structures should bear in their external appearance the marks of munificence. But if elegance cannot be attained, we must remember that, under the simplest style of architecture, the substantial ends of their erection will be answered. They will meet the wants of our increasing population; and in them our children's children will worship God in that form of sound words which the framers of our Liturgy have transmitted to us; and will be guided in the way which leads to peace in this world, and to everlasting happiness in the world to come. We are at present enabled to announce the following subscriptions:—

As the Committee, we understand, are now (Friday afternoon) engaged in waiting on the inhabitants, soliciting further assistance, we shall in a future number report the result of their application.

 

Inquisitions taken before Richard LOWRY, Esq. Coroner:—July 16, at Wellington Gate, Bewcastle, on the body of John TELFORD, aged 5 weeks, who was found dead in bed by his mother. Verdict died by the visitation of God.—On the 19th, at Maryport, on the body of Patrick M'KENZIE, aged 46 years, who was found drowned in Maryport harbour on Monday morning, supposed to have fallen overboard from a schooner. Verdict, accidental death.

 

The London mail did not reach this City on Monday morning until more than an hour after its time, in consequence of an upset which occurred when the coach was coming out of Nottingham. There was no material damage.

 

A clumsy attempt was made on Tuesday last to hoax the inhabitants of Carlisle. Early in the morning, bills were posted about town, intimating that at three o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. GREEN would ascend from the market-place in his balloon, accompanied by a lady of Carlisle: and in order the more readily to mislead, the bill purported to have been printed in Durham. A printed circular was also sent round to many of the principal shopkeepers, requesting them, in the name of the magistrates, to shut up their shops previous to the hour of ascension. Preposterous as the thing was—palpably as the trick appeared—some three hundred persons actually collected in the market-place about three o'clock, where they had the gratification of laughing at each other. The sapient authors of the scheme are known: the only apology that can be made for them is, that they are not yet arrived at years of discretion.

 

We regret to hear that Mr. SEWELL is about to resign his situation as apothecary to the Carlisle Dispensary,—an office which he has held with universal satisfaction, not only to the poor of this city, but likewise to the medical officers of the institution.

 

At a public ordination held by the Right Rev. Lord Bishop of Carlisle, at Rose Castle, on Sunday the 17th instant, the following Gentlemen were admitted into holy orders:—

 

Priests.—Christopher Hilton WYBERGH, A. M. of Pembrokehall, Cambridge; Robert ROBINSON, of Trinity College, Dublin; Stephen HUTCHINSON; Thos. ATKINSON, A. B., of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge; John TOPPING.

 

Deacons.—John BARNES, John Scrymsour NICHOL, Samuel HUDSON, A. B., of Peter House, Cambridge; Alfred GRUNDY, John GREENHOW.
