“CUMBEKLAND AND WESTMORELAND. 
On the 4th of December, a school was 
opened at Rally-zreen, in the county of Cum- 
berland, solely instituted ana supported by 
the Rev. Mr. M¥ers, of Shipley-hall, rector 
of Edenham, in Lincolnshire, for the instruc- 
Mostuny Mac. No. 195; 
tion of twenty girls, in succession for’ever, 
in all the necessary and useful branches of 
‘female education, whose-parents (sober and 
' industrious labourers) belong to the united 
parishes of Millom and Thwaits. 
About *a year ago, a few individuals in 
Kendal established-a society, under'the name 
of the Kendal -Female Society, for’ visiting 
and relieving the sick poor; and by the report 
of the committee, just published; it appears 
that the society has distributed, in provisions 
and clothes, to 145 persons, the’ value’of 671. 
5s. 64d. exclusive of three casks of wihe, 
which cost 6l. 1s. 6d. and that the general. 
supply of clothing’ in use, and ‘resumable, 
consists of blankets, sheets, bolsters, shirts, 
flannel bed-gowns, Sc: . e3: 
The number of christenings, marriages, and 
deaths, duting the year 1809, ‘in thetwo pa- 
rishes in Carlisle, ‘independent of christ. 
enings at the several dissenting places of pubs 
lic worship, is as follows :

Total—414 christenings,’ 91 mariiages, 
368 ~deaths: beirig an excess of 46. bicths 
above the deaths, in the year 1809, And, 
‘since 1808, an increase of 68 births ; a de- 
crease in the marriages of 445 and an increase 
in burials of 53. 
The school established in Carlisle‘on the 
plan of Dr. Beli and Mr. Lancaster, opens’ a 
prospect of ‘the most extensive utility. Lord 
Lonsdale, some tinie age, very libéral ly sranted 
‘for the use of the’ school, a part of his pre. 
misesin Fisher-street ; where the committee 
have visited, and expressed themselves highly 
gratified with the rapid progress made by the 
children. As, however, the institution was 
in some respect rather deficient ‘as to plan, a 
master of abilities has been engaged, and Mr. 
Curwen, who may justly be dénominuted the 
‘fatner of the establishment, has, with great 
liberality,.sent the master of his own schoo 
from Workington, to put it upon astill more 
respectable footing, It must give the phi- 
lanthropic mind the sincerest pleasure to ob. 
serve, that in every place the spirit of illibes 
-rality which woild deny the great bulk ofthe 
Ye 
people the blessings of education, is nearl
