PARTICULARS: RESPECTING CARLISLE MARKETS.

-  {n respect to the article of Provi isions, whether we regard their abundance,
their excellence, or variety, Carlisle is not to be surpassed, The three -
excellent rivers, with which it is watered, yicld abundance of fine fresh water
fish ; its vicinity to the sea renders the supply from that source easy’and
expeditious: its fine champaign country grazes excellent oxen and sheep ;
which latter are again surpassed by those which browse upon the mountain
herbage, and by some have been declared equal in flavour to ve-
nison, The market is also abundantly supplied with fruits, and vegetables
In great perfection, and at all seasons: in short, the epicure may find Carlisle
as congenial to his taste as any place in the kingdom,

Formerly, provisions, in comparison with the average of other places,
were remarkably cheap---they are yet extremely reasonable, every circum-~
stance taken into c nsideration.---Lamb, in the early part of the season, sells
for about two shillings per lb. but continues lowering in value as it becomes
less rare, till it may be pouelt at from about five pence to sixpence per lb.
---The salmon taken in the Eden are principally s sold to purchasers in Lon-
don, Manchester, &c. when it first comes in seasor, which is about the
beginning of December, few persons choosing to give three shillings and
sixpence per Jb. for it: but the season advancing, and the heat of the
Weather preventing its carriage to any considerable distance, it is sold reason-
ably enough; at which season (Autumn) it is generally sold for 7d. per lb.
when sev eal families salt and dry it.

About the middle of the last century, butcher’s meat and fish ‘seldom ex-
weeded Id. per Ib.; and the former was sold by hand, no weights or scales
being then in use. Oats, avout two shillings per Corie bushel.---Barley,
three shillings and four pence.---Black and white rye, seven shitlings.---These ©
two last kinds of grain formed the principal bread of the inhabitants 5
Wheat and potatoes were but little cultivatea in the neighbourhood.---Butter,

tavo pence haifpenny per {b.---Eggs, ten 2 penny. =--Poultry very cheap.

---Game of all kinds was sent weekly to Newcastle during the season.

In the year 1786, 1787, and 1788, wheat sold on an average at | 8s, 24d,
per bushel; and barley, at this last period, at ts. 9d. and oats at 4s. 3d.—
In |70, wheat was set at 18s. Yd. barley, Se. and oats 7s. The succeeding
year, wheat was at the same price; but barley {2s. and oats 9s. In 1791,
wheat was set at !8s. barley af 93. and oats at 6s.—In 1792, wheat at 16s.
barley 1!'s. oats 7s. —The Carlisle Bushel is three Winchester. i

In 1795 and part of 1796, this market, with all others in Great ‘Britain,
experienced a remarkable rise in the price of provisions: so that on the 25th
July, 1795, the average of wheat was 45s. rye 30s. barley 2's. and oats i@s.
per bushel.

Average price of Provisions; in the first table taken in 1793, six market
days successively, from Sept. i+ to Oct. 9: in the second, in November
1796: and in the third in the month of November, 81).

CARLISLE DIRECTORY, &c.

CARS,

APPROACH TO CARLISLE FROM THE NORTH.

On entering England from the sister kingdom, the
first place we arrive at is Longtown, distant from
Carlisle 10 miles. This is a small, neat, moderne
built market-town; beautifully situated on the river
Ksk, in a very pleasant sporting country, and in the
centre of the extensive estate of Sir James GRAHAM;
whose property it is, on the tenure of building-leases.
The streets are regular and spacious; the buildings
generally good. ‘The number of inhabitants is come
puted at 1700, who have encreased about three-fourths
within the last 30 years. The market is held on the
Thursday: formerly it was supplied merely with
butcher’s meat and the produce of the dairy; but in
the course of the last year a market for corn was es-
tablished, which promises to add, in time, to the cons
sequence of the place. It possesses a good inn, known
by the sign of the Grahams’ Arms. The manufac-
tures are trifling

About two miles distant from Longtown, on the
left, is MNetherby, the beautiful mansion of the
worthy Boronet above-mentioned, commanding a fine
view of the Esk and its adjacent fertile plains ; being
built on the site of a Roman station. Many curi-
ous pieces of antiquity have been here discovered,
now in the possession of the owner.—A little further
is the village of Kirklinton, where Kirklinton-H all,
the mansion of Mrs. Dacre, is situated.

Along the Esk, and extending hence toward the
sea, at a short distance, is an elevated morass, called
Solway Moss, remarkable for an eruption in 1771.
Owing, it is supposed, to continued rains having
penetrated into and dissolved the substance of the
moss, the shell or breast-work, formed of vege-
table fibres, was gradually elevated. But suc-
ceeding dry weather evaporating part of the inclosed
semi-fluid, thus removing its support, the rapid sink-
ing of the shell forced out the embossomed mud, and
was the cause of this inundation—an inundation,
which overflowed the adjacent vale toa considerable
depth, and by which no less than 18 towns * are said
‘to have been destroyed, and the inhabitants forced to-
begin the world again! The plain thus covered was
however shortly after completely cleared by the indus-
iry and perseverance of the late Dr. Graham, and is
now as fertile as ever.

Returning to the military road, we pass the neat
vicarage-house and «venerable churck of Arthuret ;
in the burial-ground of which Archy, jester to Charles
J. is said to be interred.—Now crossing the river
‘Line, we pass through Westlinton, an insignificant

village. In the appearance of the couniry, at this
place, there isnothing remarkable or worthy of atten«
tion; but at Justice-Town, about two miles towards.
the west, THomas Irwin, Esq. possesses an elegant
- mansion, around which he has made very considera.
ble improvements.

If the traveller incline or have.the opportunity, he
may step aside to visit Rockcliff. Though not entit-
led to the highest merit of picturesque beauty, yet its
situation is wild and romantic; being immediately
on the river Eden, whose rocky banks and shelvy
precipices give a dignity to the scene,—which the re«
fecting waves of the beautiful river, on which are
often seen skimming small vessels in the coasting
trade, and a distant prospect of the estuary of
the Solway, afford a milder beauty, and form an
agreeable contrast to the insipidity of the surround-
ing country. There is nothing remarkable in the
buildings, excepting that of R. Mounsry, Esq. of
Carlisle. It is a large and truly magnificent edifice,
newly built, commanding a fine view of the river and
surrounding country. Mr. Davip Carrick, banker
in Carlisle, likewise possesses a very commodious
and pleasant house.

The tourist may now proceed directly to Carlisle,
or retrace his steps to the military road,—without
much prospect of being enchanted by the works of
art, or the more prominent beauties of nature, until
he reach the pleasant village of Stanwix.

Hence we have a fine view of the city of Carlisle,
with its ancient cathedral (a striking object,) and noble
castle, from whence a battery of guns, pointing to.
ward the bridge, formerly seemed to menace the pass. .

county for having so long permitted it to remain in

such a condition.

CHAP. II,

ANCIENT STATE OF CARLISLE.

ANTIQUARIANS and historians seem to disagree
in fixing the derivation of the name of Carlisle. It
was called by the Romans and Britons Luguvallum,
and Luguballium, or Luguballia : the Saxons term-
ed it ZLuel; and the Saxon word Caer (meaning a
city) being joined thereto, Caer Luel has probably,
by an easy corruption, been changed to its present
name Carlisle.

Carlisle is allowed by all writers to be of great anti-

guity; but its origin and ancient history are lost in
ihe mazes of uncertainty. It seems to have been a
place of importance in the time cf the Romans ; not
5 3

go much, however, a station of defence, as of rest
during intervals of tranquillity. After the retreat of |
the Romans, it is supposed this place was evacuated
by the Britons, and soon laid waste by the destructive
eruption of the northern marauders. It is pretty
certain that King Egfrid caused Carlisle to be rebuilt,
and fortified it with a wall: and, from the reign of
that king to the coming of the Danes, it is presumed
to have been much augmented in importance and
power.—These ravagers, however, after spreading
devastation through Northumberland, proceeded to
Carlisle, and are said to have burned the town, thrown
down the walls, az.d killed man, woman, and child.
In that state the city was left for near 200 years, with.
out an inhabitant, except a few Irish who lodged
themselves among the ruins; so that large oaks grew
in the desolate streets and among the ruins of houses.
Thus did this city lie in ashes till the coming of
William the Conqueror; when Walter, a Norman
priest, one of William’s followers, began to rebuild
it. William Rufus afterwards, seeing the importance
of this place as a western frontier, directed Walter
to complete its rebuilding and fortification ; which
he performed, erecting many public edifices, and de=
fending the whole by a perfect circumvallation and
strong fortress. A colony of Flemings (probably the
artificers who raised the fortifications) were then pla-
ced here. But shortly after, these were removed to
North Wales and the Isle of Anglesley ; and the
king replaced them witha colony of South Britons ;
men used to husbandry and the culture of lands, for
the purpose of cultivating the Forest of Inglewood,
hitherto in its original state, and to teach the natives
the art of profiting from the natural fertility of the
6

soil. To this colony all the records agree in attri~
buting the first regular tillage that was known in the
fertile plains of Carlisle. But notwithstanding these
agricultural efforts, we find, 70 years afterwards, that
the vicinity of this town was not cleared of wood.

About the beginning of ihe reign of King Stephen,
Carlisle was seized by David King of Scotland ; which,
together with the whole county, Stephen afterwards
ceded to him, witha view of procuring his aid against
Henry If. In 1138, King David made this city tne
place of his retreat, after his dreadful overthrow at
the battle of Siandard. And here he received Alberic
the Pope’s Jegate ; by whose influence all the women
captives were brought to Carlisle aud set at liberty. He
also obtained from the Scotch leaders a solemn. pro-
mise, that, in future incursions, they would spare the
church, and withhold their swords from the aged,
fom women, and infants: an injunction which huma-
nity dictated, but which the savage customs of ‘the
contending nations had not admitted into the modes of
warfare.

In 1157, Henry If. and the Scotch King had an
interview at Carlisle, relative to the restitution of
Cumberland to the former. This mecting did not ter-
minate pleasantly ; but it appears, that soon after-
wards the English obtained and held quiet possession
of this city, tilla fruitless assault was made upon it
in 1173 by William, successor to Malcolm on the
throne of Scotland. But returning the next year with
an army of 80,000 men, hecommenceda regular siege ;
the garrison, under the command of Robert de Vaux,
was reduced to the greatest distress; and the town
would probably soon have been in tlic hands of the Scots,
had not William’s being made prisoner at Alnwick
eoncurred with other disastrous events for Ecoiland tv
7

put an end to the horrors of the war. During this
reign great part of this city suffered by fire, and the
records and charters were destroyed.

Alexander, King of Scotland, besieged and took
Carlisle in the reign of King John* ; but could not re-
duce the castle, which held cut, and continued in the
hands of the English.

In 1292, great part of the city and cathedral, with
the records, were destroyed by an accidental fire :
and, in 1296, the Scots, after laying waste the coun-
try, approached Carlisle, burnt the suburbs, and at-
tempted to take the city by storm; but the bravery
of the inhabitants obliged them to abandon their ens —
terprize, and retreat to their own country. During
the attack the women shewed astonishing valour ; they
poured boiling water over the walls upon the heads of
their assailants and performed other intrepid actions.

On the 4th June, in the 32d Edward I. half the
city, asfar as Rickerzate, was burnt down; and three
years after that time King Edward I, resided here fox
about five months, when he proceeded on his last ex pe-
dition towards Scotland, and died at Burgh-on-Sands.

In the 9th of Edward II. the King of Scotland
besieged Carlisle in regular form, for ten days ; but
was obliged to make a precipitate retreat, and was
pursued by the English with good effect.

In the Lith of Edward If1. the Scots laid siege to
Carlisle, and burnt the suburbs, but the city held out.

In 1345, the Scots burnt this place, but were after-
wards repulsed by the English.

Henry VIII. was besieged by an army of 8000 men.
The garrison, however, found means to discomfit their
designs ; and they were afterwards intercepted by the
Duke of Norfolk, who ordered the leaders, with about
seventy others, for immediate execution, and hung
them on the city walls.

In the 40th and 41st of Elizabeth a a plague
visited this place ; to which 1196 persons fell victims.
These were computed to be about one nee of the
inhabitants.

In 1644, Carlisle was surrendered to the Parliament
forces under Lesley; after a siege and blockade of
nearly eight months ; in which time the distress of the —
garrison was so great, that they eat dogs, horses, rats,
&c. -

The last hostileacts of which Carlisle was the scene,
were those ia the Scotch rebellion in 1745; when it
was taken possession of by the rebel army; ard after-
wards retaken by the King’s forces, under the Duke
of Cumberland. The result of this transaction is toe

“well known to need a repetition here.

 

CHAP. itl.

PRESENTE STATE OF CARLISLE—TRADE, &c.

CARLIS LE, which, previous to the Union, was so oft
the scene of desolation and bloodshed, shone more in
the strength of iis walls and fortress, and grandeur of
its cathedral, than in the neatness and elegance of its
streets, houses, and other buildings. Even so late as
the beginning of the last century, the dwellings of
9
the inhabitants were mostly formed of wood, clay,
and laths; exhibiting marks of poverty and bad taste.
The gables fronted the streets; and the diminutive
windows, and clumsy oaken doors, fastened together
with large projecting wooden pins, were of the Crothic
form, and corresponding with the gables. The streets
were badly paved, and had large ditches on each side.
But, as the prospect of future warfare vanished, trade
and manufactures were introduced, began to increase,
and an equal augmentation of wealth, spirit, and taste
for improvement, as well as of population, took place.
In short, one improvement followed another more and
more rapidly, till, at the present day, Carlisle, in the
openness of its principal streets, neatness and elegance
of its buildings, and the decency and respectability of
its inhabitants, is excelled by few, if any, towns of
equal size in Great Britain. Shops are numerous,
(many shew a degree of taste and elegance) well fur-
nished with every necessary of life, and not a few of
its luxuries. Carlisle also affords several commodious
inns, and maintains an intercourse with the other parts
of the island by several regular mail and stage coaches,

waggons, &c.

The following is the state of population in the city
and suburbs, accurately taken at four different
periods :—

In 1763 there were 1050 families, & 4158 inhabitants.
— 17380 1605 6299 ——___-—.
— 1796 ———— 2314 8716.

In the year 1802, the i celtioas, according to
Act of Parliament, was 1420 houses, and 10,875
inhabitants ; of these 5135 were males, 5742 females ; :
but such is the great increase of population since that
time, that the total number of inhabitants in the

B

 

 

 
10°
city and suburbs is computed at not less than
16,000.

_ The great increase of population, wealth, and ree
finement is principally owing to the introduction of
the neste manufacture in its various branches. Did
our limits allow, it would be a pleasing task to trace
with minute attention the rise and progress of manu-
factures in this city. We shall, however, make the
following short remarks en the. ce

Soon after the rebellion in 1745, a woollen manufac-
tory was established in Carlisle by a company of
Hamburgh merchants. The distance from Lincoln.
shire, Yorkshire, Scotland, and those parts of the tw®
kingdoms enriched with the staple commodity, was a
very inconsiderable object of this company of adven-
turers. To facilitate this undertaking, two gentlemen
(brothers) of the name of Dewlicher, were sent over
from the continent to superintend the work. It
brought from various parts of the three kingdoms
many workmen in the different branches of the woollen
trade. People, to thedistance of twenty miles from the
city, were employed, and every loom that could be got
was engaged. The most sanguine hopes were enter-
tained, that the undertaking would answer the end
proposed : and never were ‘two men engaged in any
business more caressed by all ranks of people, than
the Dewlichers were. A few years after this manu-
factory was established, the elder brother died, who
had taken the most active part of the business upon
himself: and who, from its flourishing state during
his life, seemed to be every way competent ’ ‘to so
great a trust. The younger: brother had, sometime
prior to the death of the elder, made avery imprudent
connection by marrying with the house-keéper to the
family. This woman was weak and ambitious, and
il

by her was the ruin of this once flourishing manutac-
tory brought about. Having the ascendancy over
her credulous husband, she persuaded him to dismiss
most of his old sisi Sie who were overseers, from:
their employment: these men having been bred to the
business, were capable of conducting the different
branches of it. In their place, the relations and ac-
quaintance of the new mistress were substituted,
people that knew nothing of the matter. Things soon
began to wear a different aspect; the workmen were
much dissatisfied with their new mistress; quarrels
and complaints daily increased, and a very little time
put a finishing hand to the whole undertaking : for, by
mismanagement of the new foremen, and by the ne-
gligence and extravagance of the superintendant and
his wife, the company was declared insolvent : and as
no person or company would come forward as succes-
sors, Carlisle, in a very little time, was reduced to the
state it was in at the commencement of this manufac.
tory. .The failure of this company was severely felt
by many in Carlisle and the neighbourhood ; for, as
nothing was carried forward as a substitute to employ
the industrious poor, those who had been employed in
the work were driven to travel with their families to.
different. parts to seek employment ; and for many
months nothing but distress appeared round Carlisle
for several miles. f

At this time provisions were extremely cLeap; and.
sigh was the ignorance and sloth of farmers, that the
corporation gave a man AOs. a-year, and anew cart
occasionally, to take the manure from the streets once
a week. Goods were then brought on pack-horses
from Newcastle ; and Carlisle at that time was only
noted for reine a few whips and fish- “hooks, a1 and also
a small quantity of linen.

B2
12

About the year 1750, the late Aldermen Richard
and William Hodgson established a manufactory of.
coarse linen cloth, called Osnaburgs ; and about the
same time arose a new woollen manufacture, the pro-
prietor of which was Mr. George Blamire. The lat-
ter was of short duration, and has — been
revived since.

The road from Newcastle to this place was now
made good, and came in at the Scotch-gates ; whereas
it formerly came through Warwick-bridge, and in at
the English-gates. Large carts and waggons were
set up about this period, and found employment
thereon. Provisions rose in price, butchers began to
sell their meat by weight, the street manure was sold,
and the country wore a more cultivated aspect.

In consequence of these changes, and of the revival
of manufactures, the spinning and weaving of cotton
and linen began now to increase rapidly, and popula-
lion kept pace therewith. Every year houses were pul-
led down, and rebuilt upon a more elegant plan. The
grass which disfigured the streets, lanes, and avenues,
began daily to disappear. |

In 1756, a public brewery arose. In 1758, many
hundreds of French prisoners, with plenty of cash in —
their pockets, came to Carlisle on their parole of
honour; and the several parties of the military being
there also, money was circulated in Carlisle and its
neighbourhood with more than usual celerity. A more
luxurious mode ofliving stole in upon the inhabitants,
-and carriages began to be more in use.—The private
carriages kept at that time were— Dr. Waugh’s, Dean
of Worcester, a coach and four horses—Major Farrer’s,
a single horse chaise—Mr. Dobinson’s, a single horse
chaise-——General Stanwix’s, acoach and four horses.

The year 176! was an wra of real advantage to
13

Warlisle, as to the prospect of an increasing commerce.
The printing or stamping of calico was introduced
here about this period. Gentlemen from Newcastle
and its vicinity, under the firm of Scott, Lamb, and
Co. were the first estabiishers of this branch of tradé
in the environs of Carlisle. And as the calico busi-
ness has been the principal means of increasing the
population of this city, it is necessary to remark that
the flourishing advances of this manufactory induced
others to form themselves into companies to begin and
carry on the same business. Some of them were men
unacquainted with commerce ; for in former times a
country Esq. would have thought it a degradation of
his rank to have his name entered with any company
of a manufacturing or mercantile line. Time has re-
moved this prejudice, and men are convinced that
trade enriches, in particular, these engaged in it, and
the public in general. This was followed by an ex-
tensive manufactory, carried on by the ingenious Ber-
nard Barton, whose premature death deprived the
public of the abilities of an able and enterprising
tradesman.—The community is also much indebted
to Mr. Wood, for the general introduction of the
spinning cotton by machinery. Since that’ lume,
this branch of trade is carried to a very consi-«
derable extent.

Thus the erecting of one manufactory was followed
by that of another, till at present there are three print.
fields, but which, from the genera! stagnation of trade;
do not carry on business to such great extent as for-
merly ; though it is still pretty extensive.—Besides
these, there are several more manufactories, same of
which are very extensive in all the branches, from
the raw materials to the finishing of checks, calicos,
muslins, and all kinds of fancy work ; also, an exten
{4

sive bleaching concern, dye-houses, &c. Here are,
at present, four public breweries, and three foundries
lately established.

Carlisle possesses, five banks, which are folate of
considerable service to trade: twoofthem issue notes
on their own account.

The following is a list. of exports asd imports from
the Custom-house books, for the following years.—
The importations principaily consist of iron, deals,
tar, slates, staves, salt, sugar, rum, &c. &c.and the
exportations of grain, potatoes, oak bark, oat meal,
flour, timber, lead, freestone, herrings, alabaster,
British barrel staves, &c. &c.

The site of Carlisle is admirably fine; on a very
gently rising ground, inthe midst of an extensive and
fertile plain, terminated on every side by distant lof:
ty mountains and surrounded with rivers. The
beautiful meadows and banks along the sides of the
Eden and Caldew afford the pleasantest walks to the
inhabitants of the city and its environs ; who, unlike
its turbulent, rough, and warlike occupiers in former
15

ages, can enjoy in peace the rich and pleasing scenes
which Nature has lavishly spread around them.

 

CHAP... IV.

PUBLIC EDIFICES, INSTITUTIONS, &c.

, CARLISLE, being a Bishop’s see, has a cathedral,
in which is performed the cathedral service: in the
same edifice is performed the parochial service of St.
Mary’s; and in a part of it the Chancellor of the
diocese holds the consistory court. As this religious
edifice is the chief ornament of the city, a more par-
ticular description of it is indispensably requisite.
THE CATHEDRAL.

From whatever part the traveller approaches the
city, this venerable building is most conspicuous,
being descernible at the distance of many miles. On
a near approach, a view of the edifice, surrounded by
lofty plane trees, has an effect beautiful and romantic.
The parts now remaining shew that the old struc-
ture, when entire, was a noble and solemn edifice, of
ihe form of a cross. The present building consists of
the east limb of the cross, being the chancel, and the
cross isle or transept, with the tower; the greatest
part of the west limb of the cross having been pulled
down in the civil wars, 1641: with the materials were
erected a guard-house at every gate, and one in tbe
market place, and two batteries in the castle. The
circular arches and massive round columns, whose
shafts are only 14 feet 2 inches high, and circume
16

ference fully 74 feet, which remain of the west limb
and transept, are of the heaviest order of the Saxon
architecture ; and at the first sight testify the differer.t
ages in which this partand the chancel were erected :
indeed, the architecture denotes an earlier xra than
the time of William Rufus, but there is no corrobora-
ting evidence to ascertain the mode of building, which
might prove it of so ancient a date. The west end is
said to have been in length 155 feet from the cross
aile, of which 43 feet remain. The cross aile, from
north to south, is 124 feet ; in the centre is a tower,
in height 127 feet, which originally supported a spire
of lead.—It contains a ring of eight bells.

The choir is 137 feet in length, and, with the side
ailes, 71 feetbroad,; so that the length of the church
when entire, was exactly 300 feet within. The choir —
is of fine Gothic architecture, with light columns,
remarkably beautiful. The stalls are garnished with
tabernacle work. The organ is placed at the cross
screen, which contains but a narrow and low entrance.
—By late repairs it is greatly embellished, being
wainscotted with oak, from the stalls round the whole
east end of the choir, ina simple stile, after the old
order; and the roof, pillars, &c. have been painted
and whitewashed. The open gates, leading into the
ailes, are old and broken, but shew excellent light
tracery work, finely ornamented. The Bishop’s
throne is not magnificent, but yet elegant and stately.
The pillars of the choir are elustered, and in excellent
proportion, The arches are pointed: in the inner
mouldings of the capitals are figures and flowers in
pierced work, of light carving, and the inside of the
arches are prettily ornamented.—In 1764, the ceiling,
which was formerly composed of wood, was stuccoed,

gn the form ofa groined vault, which is of great ad«
vantage to its appearance, The east window is large,’
being 48 feet in height, and 30 in breadth, ornamented
with fine pilasters. Two galleries run above the side
ailes, but with windows only in the upper: that in
the east end has a magnificent simplicity.

When the choir was rebuilt in the reign of Edward
III. indulgences were issued, the common and most
effectual claim of assistance; which were of forty
days penance to such laity as should, by money,
materials, or labour, contribute to this pious work ;
and the Bishop’s register abounds with letters patent,
and orders for the purpose.

In the ailes on each side, are some strange legen-
dary paintings of the history of St. Anthony, St.°
Cuthbert, and St. Augustine : one represents the saint
visited by an unclean spirit, who tempts him ina
very indecentmanner. Above every picture is a dis«
tich relative to the subject. |

We shall give the following as a specimen of these
very curious compositions.

In the middle ‘of the choir is a monument of
Bishop Bell, with his effigies in his pontificals, in
brass, with an inscription on a marginal fillet of the
same metal. Bishop William Barrow was buried in
St. Catherine’s chapel, on the south of the cathedral.
Bishops John Best, Henry Robinson, Richard Sen-
house, Thomas Smith, and Sir George Fleming, are
also buried in this church.

As a more detailed account would be attended with
but little pleasure in the reading, and too much
extend the limits of this work, we Se the reader to
the History of Cumberland. We have annexed a
ground Plan of the Cathedral, by consulting which
may be found any particular monument, &c.

- The whole .of this noble edifice is of red freestone,
ornamented with pilasters and pointed arches. There
are some statues on the eastern turrets, but they are

In the Abbey contiguous to the church, and in which
the church properly stands, are several venerable
buildings, the deanery, fratery, &c. In the latte,
building, the clergy havean excellent library; and in
one part of the edifice, is. a confessional, or stone
chair, where the monks were wont to receive the con<
fessions from. the mouths of the penitenis.. Here
considerable improvements have been. made by the
Dean and Chapter, under the direction of the Rev.
Mr. Markham. Jn this place are situated the houses
of the Prebends,. who occasionally reside here.

EPISCOPAL SEE.

It is now proper to speak of the Episcopal See.
Carlisle, which successively. belonged to-the sees of
Chester and Durham, was erected into an independent
see by Henry I. in the year 1133; previous to which
time it was a Priory.—Ethelwald, or, as he is some.
times. called, Adeluph, then prior, was constituted the
first Bishop..

Walter, the Norman, who came over: with: the con«
queror, laid the foundation of the Priory, which he
dedicated to the Blessed Virgin:. itis said he became
the head of the Society which he had instituted ;_ but
authors of great antiquity speak. of this work as being
incomplete at the time of his death; and that King
Henry I: in the second year of his reign, took it under
his patronage, finished it,. and endowed it, A. D..
1101, and therein placed regular canons of the order
of St. Augustine, appointing Athelwald,. his. confessor
and chaplain, the first prior. Athelwald, as noticed
above, being made Bishop of this diocese, was suce.
ceeded in the priory by Walter, another of the King’s,
chaplains, who had taken upon him. the regular
habit; and beinga rigorous. disciplinarian, he banishe

ed all the secular priests from that religious house,
c2 rs
20

‘The original possessions of their priory were very
considerable; butthe foundation of the see succeeding
almost so immediately to that of the priory, there i°
no possibility of distinguishing them at this time.
The property of the Prior and the Bishop were so
blended, that several contentions and disputes arose,
till Gallo, the Pope’slegate, at their mutual petition
made partition of their lands. The castle of Linstock >
in the parish ot Stanwix, was, for along series of ©
years, the only palace of the Bishops of Carlisle ; and —
in 1295, Johannes Romanus, Archbishop of York, was
entertained there, whilst, he visited this diocese.
The following is the regular succession of Bishops :
1. Ethelwald, 2. Bernard. 3. Hugh abbot of Be-
lieu. 4, Walter. 5. Sylvester de Everdon. 6. Thomas
de Vetriponte. 7. Robert de Chauncy. 8. Ralph Irton.

The revenue of the Bishoprick of Carlisle is esti-
mated in the King’s Books at £531 :4: 11.

Out of the dissolved priory, Henry VIII. by letters
patent, bearing date, May 8th, 1542, founded the
body corporate of a dean and four prebendaries ; and
two years afterwards they received the royal grant to
vest in them the possessions of the dissolved house of
monks.

The city of Carlisle is divided into two parishes,—St.
Mary’s* and St. Cuthbert’s.{ In the former is contain-
ed the cathedral and parish church§, and in the latter

, ST. CUTHBERT’S CHURCH ;

A curacy under St. Mary’s, but according to
Mr. Denton, ‘* the rectory of St. Cuthbert’s,
in Carlisle, was founded by the former inbabi-
tants before the Danes overthrew the city, and
by them dedicated to the honour of St. Cuthbert of
Duersm, who of ancient times was Lord of the same
for 15 miles about Carlisle.” —The present church is,
however, a modern edifice, rebuilt in the year 1778,
upon the site of the old church, without external or
internal ornament, but upon a neat and commodious
plan, being well built, pewed, galleried, and light.
ed. It has a square steeple or tower, but so confined
as not to admit of a ring of bells; so that the

* It comprehends Scotch-street, Fisher-street, Castle-street, and

Abbey-street, within the city; Caldewgate, Rickergate, Cummersdale,
- Newtown, Newby, Wreay, Middlesceugh, and Braithwaite without.

+ It comprehends English-street within the city, and Botchergate,
Botcherby, Carleton, Brisco, Upperby, Harraby, and High and Low
Blackhall, without.

§ The parish church is damp, cold, and incomtmodious ; nothing
‘could be more desirable to the parishioners than a suitable place, where
they could perform their religious exercises with comfort. A new burial
‘ground is aleo much wanted, the present one being crowded to excess.
22

parishioners are called to their devotion by the weak
tinklings of the old bell, which ought to have been
exchanged for one of a louder tone.—The income is
moderate.

The next object most worthy of attention is

THE CASTLE,
Situated to the north of the city.—There is no positive
evidence as to the time of its firsterection, but from the
appearance of the fortifications which, both from the
form and mode of architecture, are so similar to those
erected by William I. in the nortbern counties, one is
led to determine, they are the works of that «ra when
the Normans invaded this country.

The castle consists of various works, but being a
garrisoned place, and a very considerable depot of
ordnance stores, we conceive it imprudent to describe
it minutely. The donjon, a great tower, is square
and very lofty, and the wall of vast thickness, being
constructed agreeably to the old mode of defence ;
in the sides of this tower, in several parts, are placed
the arms of England, but these seem to denote no
more than reparations made by several sovereigns of
England,—particularly Richard III. This work was
formerly strengthened by a draw-bridge over a wide
ditch, and defended by modern works; a. half-moon
battery mounted with cannon, and a very large plat.
form also mounted under cover of the outer wall. By
a well of vast depth constructed within the great
tower, and said to be of Roman work, the supply of
water for ithe garrison could not be cut off*. ‘This
well is not unlike that of Bambrough castle, in Nor-
thumberland. In the outer castle is a fine grass plot,

* In cleansing this well, lately, a medal was found, of a composition

resembling a mixture of tin and copper. ‘This is now in the possession
of Serjeant Robinson, of the Forfarshire militia—See figure at page 18,
23

a garden and governor’s house, &c. A very elegant
and spacious armory has within afew years been
erected, capable of containing 10,000 stand of small
arms.

In the 15th year of Edward II. Andrew Harcla,
created Earl of Carlisle for his good services against
Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and hisadherents, was
seized in the castle, and suffered as a traitort. He
was apprehended by Lord Lucy, accompanied. by a
few attendants, by stratagem.

Sir William Douglas of Lochmaben was kept in
irons in the castle,—an uncommon act of severity
toward a prisoner of war; but he was esteemed so
enterprizing and dangerous an enemy by Edward III.
that this was done at his special command,

The apartments, are still shewn where the unfore
itunate Mary Queen of Scots was confined, after
her defeat at Langside. During her imprisonment,
the royal captive used a walk in front of the castle,
which yet retains the name of the Lady’s walk. Near
the castle-gate were lately growing two stately ash-
trees, of uncommon size, said by tradition to have
been planted by the fair hands of the Princess. We
know not for what reason they were cut down.
Though now no more, we have expressed them in the
plate, as a memorial of the fact.

In the 20th yearof CharlesI. A. D. 1644, during
the siege by the Parliament forces, to which it was
surrendered, a coinage of silver pieces of three shile
lings value took place in the castle, from the plate of
the inhabitants sent in for that purpose. They are

+ From that time the title was never restored until the Restoration,
when Charles Howard, son of Sir William Howard, in the 13th of
Charles II. was created Lord Dacre of Gilsland, Viscount Howard of
Morpeth, and Earl of Carlisle; in which honours he has been succeed=
ed by his immediate descendants to this time.
of

become very. scarce, and bear a considerable price
with the curious. ; |

Before we quit the subject of the castle, we must
remark the beautiful and extensive prospect which the
greattower affords. The fore ground is formed of level
meads, washed by the Eden ; in one part insulated
by a separation of the river. From _ hence is seen
the two stone bridges, the great passage toward
Scotland. The hanging banks are crowned with the
village and church of Stanwix, and the distant ground
filled with the mountains of Bewcastle. To the south,
you command the plains toward Penrith, shut in on
either hand by a vast chain of mountains ; over which.
Cross-fell and Skiddaw are distinctly seen, greatly
eminent. To the east, a varied tract of cultivated :
country, scattered over with villages and hamlets,
mingled beautifully with woodlands on the extensive
landscape : the distant horizon formed by the heights
of Northumberland. To the west, the Frith spreads
out its shining expanse of water, margined on this
hand by acultivated tract ; on the other by the Scotch
coast, where Criffel and a chain of mountains extend
towards the ocean. 4

GOVERNMENT « oF THE CITY.

The other public buildings are the Town Hall, or
Moot Hall, and Council Chamber, conspicuously
situated in the centre of the city, and to which you
ascend by a flight of broad steps from the promenade.
Above the entrance are placed the arms of the Cor-
poration. Flere are held the Nisi Prius Courts of
Assize for the county*; the Quarter Sessions, the

* The accommodation being very indifferent, an Act was some little
time ago obtained for building court-houses, &c. on the site of the
citadel, adjoining the English gate. The work has been begun on.a
very extensive plan. The citadel wasa very large building composed of

a strong square tower, connected to two large bastions, by curtains :

2s 4

Mayor’s Court, the election of members to represent
the city in Parliament t, &c. The records and writ-
ings belonging to the corporation, the freemen’s
admissions, &c. are kept in detached offices belonging
to the same building. The council chamber is orna-
mented with a cupola and clock. The Guild-hall, in
which the free trades hold their meetings, is situated
at the head of Fisher-street ; and though it has the
appearance of antiquity, is a very mean structure.

This city had many royal grants and great privi-
leges. The first that is pointed out is that of King
Henry II. which was burnt in the devastation by the
Scots, but is recited and confirmed by the charter
of Henry III. It doth not appear when the first
incorporation of the burgesses took place, or what
was the original constitution. Several other charters,
or rather confirmatory ones, were granted by various
sovereigns,—in the 2lst Edward I.; 224 Edward
Il. ; 5th Richard I1.; 3d Henry VII. ; Ist Henry
VIII. ; 5th Edward VI.; 2d Queen Elizabeth: and
2d James I. By therecital of the grant of Edward
III. it seems, that preceding it, and even for time im-
memorial, the city had been governed by a mayor,
bailiffs, and coroners; but when this body politic
had its commencement, we have no evidence.

King Charles I. in the iSth year of his reign,
confirmed the preceding grants of privileges, reform.
ing only the election of mayors, bailiffs, and coroners.

$ According to Prynne, the first members for Carlisle were called in
the 30th year of Edward I.; but Nicholson and Burn give the name of
members in Parliament of the 23d of that reign.

The members are elected by free burgesses, about 700 in number,
whe are all of them enrolled among those of the following free
trades:—Merchants, Tanners, Taylors, Skinners, Smiths, Weavers,
Shoemakers, Butchers.—The trades held their annual meeting on
ascension-day,

This body corporate, then, consisting of a mayor,
eleven aldermen, two bailiffs, two coroners, and
twenty-four capital citizens or common council, were
ordered to proceed to election in the following manner :
“¢ The mayor, aldermen, bailiffs, and twenty-four
‘capital citizens, or the major part of them, in (ruild-
hall assembled, on the Monday next after Michaelmas-
day, shall have power to chuse annually one of the
aldermen to be mayor ; and in case ofan equality, the
mayor to have a casting vote; and the mayor so
‘chosen shall be sworn into his office by the last mayor,

part of them ; and shall continue therein till another
shall be chosen and sworn.”’ ‘* In like manner, the
‘two bailiffs and two coroners annually shall be chosen
and sworn.”

The following is the constitution of the body, viz :—

A body corporate and polite, by the name of the
mayor, aldermen, bailiffs, and citizens of the-city of
Carlisle ; to have a common seal.

On the death of an alderman, the mayor and surviv-

‘ing aldermen, or the major part of them, in Guild-hall
assembled, shall chuse another who shall be sworn by
the mayor ¢ Tal continue for life.

chosen by the new mayor, the other two by the ree
maining part of the body corporate.

The corporate body may make bye-laws, to be
enforced by corporal or pecuniary penalties.

The mayor, recorder, and two senior aldermen, to be
justices of the peace.

The mayor clerk of the market, with power to exc«
cute the office by deputy.

The subordinate officers are three serjeants at mace,
five bedals or town scavengers. The serjeants and
bedals wear the corporation livery, (brownturned up
with red) and their places are generally for life. The
serjeants act as bailiffs in processes before the mayor’s
court, and to them is committed the execution of'sum=
mons and writs of arrest for debt issued by it.—The-
City Gaol is upon the head. of the Scotch-gates.

DISSENTING CHAPELS.

In the city of Carlisle, as in most northern.counties,.
are several dissenting Chapels.—The Society of
Friends, or Quakers, have a very commodious
meeting-house situated at the head of Fisher-street ;.
and which is very respectably and numerously
attended.—The meeting-house was built in 1776.

In the year 1736 a subscription was entered into to
build and endow a Presbyterian chapel. The sum,
chiefly raised in Scotland, was. very. considerable ;
and with it was built the chapel, minister’s house,
offices, and a good. garden. Besides these erections
there was a considerable sum to spare, which the
trustees let out on interest.—Of late the chapel has
undergone considerable repairs..

The duty of the chapel was for many years performed
by theRev. Robert Milne, fromA berdeen, who published
in Carlisle an octayo volume of Lectures on the Antes

diluvian World. —Unfortunately, however, a consi-
derable part of Mr. Milne’s hearers differing with,
him as to sentiment,—entered into an agreement with
the Rey. George Thomson, a native of Galloway,
who ministered to his congregation in a very incom-
modious chapel inAbbey-street.—Mr. Thomson, we
must say, was an excellent scholar; and his ‘* Spirit
of General History,” which was published j in an 8vo.

form, has gone through two large editions, and the
work is now exceedingly scarce.—Its utility is so
generally recognized, that it is in contemplation to
present to the public another edition, for the use
of academies, &c.—Mr. Thomson died, 7th August,
1810.—The present minister of the Fisher-street meet
ing-house is the Rev. A, Henderson.

The late Dr. Henry, author of the History of Bri-
tain, preached i ina separate building, in the year 1748,
and exercised his pastoral functions here for twelve
years. 3

In the year 1780, another dissenting chapel wag
esiablished, It was promoted by subscription, and
was endowed by Lady Glenorchie, who was likewise
a liberal contributor. The chapel is a neat and plain
edifice, and has a very respectable congregation.—
The Rev. C. Hill is the minister ; and through his
pious endeavours many poor phildten are aught,
gratis, on the Sabbath, to read and write.

In the year 1786, a Methodist Chapel, in Mr. Wes-
ley’s connection, was erected. It ee first put for-
ward by Mr. Bushby, of Alexandria, i in the province
of Virginia, (a native of Carlisle.)—It issituated in
Visherestreet, and the Members of this Society, whose
praise-worthy exertions have conduced so much to
the morals and virtue of the lower orders of society,
have been encreasing in numbers ever since the esta-
25

blishment.—The Society teaches a number of children’
on the Sabbath, gratis, = wah

A Catholic chapel was also first established by, Mr.
Fairbairn in 1799; and was puton its present footing
in 1801, by the exertion of the present worthy
clergyman, Mr. Joseph Marshall, who has filled
his station with credit to himself and advantage to
others. |

IMPROVEMENTS.

Having thus briefly treated of spiritual establish-°
ments, let us shortly mention what is of a more carnal
nature. —The shambles formerly stood in the market=
place ; were private property, built of wood, and
covered with different kinds of slate, which gave
them a grotesque and antique appearance. At the
north end of these was a well, over which was erected
a building upon pillars, called Carnaby’s Foley. On
the front of each side of the building was the fish-
market: the Foley and shambles, about the year
1790, were taken down ;—the latter were purchased
ata great price by the corporation; but the former
was their own property. ‘The corporation has built
a very commodious flesh-market in Scotch-street.

In 1804, an Act of Parliament was passed for light- _
ing the streets and avenues, and flagging the foot-paths
&c. This act was very spiritedly acted upon;
and we can now boast, that there is not a city or tow,
in the kingdom better regulated in this respect.

In places of consequence, and especially in mer-
cantile towns, fire-engines are indispensible; and in
this respect Carlisle is not deficient, having two pub,
lic engines; but, unfortunately, there are no fire-men
attached to them.—We think it necessary to mention,
that they are kept behind the cast walls; the keys of
the place are kept by Mr. Thomas Thompson, i in the
30

@id Turk’s Head lane, Scotch-street ; and by Mr:
James Goodfellow, St. Cuthberi’s-lanc, English-
street. 7

THE COUNTY GAOL.

Having gone thus far, we shall in this place notice
the place appointed by law for salutary restraint and
correction of offences.—The County Gaol is old and
much out of repair; andit has been for a considerable
time past in contemplation to build a new one. As
the plan ofa new erection is, we understand, in a state
of considerable forwardness, in connection with the
new buildings on the site of the citadel, a short account
may suflice.

The present buiiding, situated at the head of English-
street, is a mean edifice; but the court is commo-
- dious and spacioust, being 85 yards by 36; a part
of which is railed off for the use of the felons. ‘The
chapel was built in 1734. There are five rooms for
master-side-dcbtors, and as many on the common-side;
—two low rooms for felons, and two over these for
females. There is no furniture belonging to the pri-
son but what is found by the unfortunate persons con-
fined there, who are allowed merely straw for their
beds.

THE CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS
Of this city, though not numerous, are respectable:
Near the English-gates were charity houses, built by
the corporation, in which decayed freemen, or the

+ During the time of persecution for religious principles, in the
reign of the Stewarts, the limits of the prison were very much con-
fined ; but a great number of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, being
imprisoned here, the Society purchased a track of ground adjoining,
in order to conduce to their comfort and convenience. ‘The court-
yard is now as spacious as most in the kingdom.—Mr. Richard Jackson
as the present gaolor, and the Rev. Mr. Mark, chaplain.
3l

widows of those deceased, were allowed to live gratis;
but these are now taken down, in order to admit of
the projected improvements on the site of the citadel.

There is one endowed school, situated in the Abbey,
founded by Bishop Thomas Smith*. ‘There is also
a charity school for clothing and educating the
daughters of poor freemen; and several Sunday
schools which are well supported.—There is like-
wise the greatest prospect of the blessings of education
being universally diffused by means of a school,
which is proposed to be erected on the Lancasterian
plan; though for two years past a number of children
have been instructed on this system. This praise-
worthy object was first suggested here by J. C. Cur-
wen, Esq. M. P. for this cily.

There is also a school of industry, where 30 girls
jare taught sewing, wriling, reading, &c. ‘This schoo}

is supported by private subscription.—Besides this,
12 girls have been educated and clothed by two worthy
ladies for many years. And last, though not least,
isa Female Visiting Society, founded in 1803, and
supported by private subscriptions and donations.
The ladies (subscribers) visit the poor families of the
place, in rotation, and supply them with money,
clothes, and fuel, according to their several necessities,
to the annual amount ofabove 1501. besides giving them
religious and moral instruction.

The Carlisle Dispensary was first established on
the Ist July, 1782. Since that time many thousand
poor persons have been cured or relieved. It is
situated at the head of Abbey-street, pe oetely
above the Abbey-gates.

St. Mary’s Workhouse is situated on the west side
of the castle, without the lrish-gates, and was built in
1780. tis alarge and commodious building, with a
spacious yard adjoining: it is now kept very clean,
is well-aired, and the poor are very comfertably sup.
ported.

The Workhouse of St. Cuthbert’s was built two
years since, at Hariaby-hill, on an extensive plan :
the accommodation for the destitute is highly credita-
ble to the parish.

- Without the English-gates of the city there was
formerly an ancient hospital, dedicated to St. Nicho-
las, and said to be of royal foundation, though by
what sovereign is not known, it was instituied for the
reception of thirteen lepers. It was granted to the
prior and convent of the cathedral church, 17th
Kidward IV. ; and afterwards 33d Henry VIII. made
part of the endowment of the dean and chapter, under
whom the site of the hospitalis now held by lease.

POLITICAL WisTORY OF CARLISLE.

WE are aware that in treating of a subject so
extremely tender as politics we incur a considerable
portion of responsibility: ‘but by merely mentioning
facts, and this with the strictest observance of truth,
the edge of the weapon may be blunted, if not entirely
destroyed.

“In, 1761, a dissolution of Parliament took place.
For several preceding years the city had been repree
sented by two General Officers, one of whom presided
as Governor :—it was at this time that a northern
Baronet opened his campaign of opposition. Not- |
withstanding that the generality of the freemen were
dissatisfied with their members, one of them and a
Hon. Mr. Vane, from the House of Raby, were nomi-
nated as candidates. From the active part taken by
Sir James Lowther in this business, by some of the old
freemen the disinterestedness of the Baronet was called
in question, and their support was offered to any
neighbouring gentleman. Their choice was finally
fixed upon Henry Curwen, Esq. of Workington Hall,
who was returned as representative of the city, in
conjunction with Mr. Vane, notwithstanding the
exertions of Sir James and the corporation. Ia the
year 1763, a considerable degree of party spirit was
excited amongst the members of the corporate body
by the proposition of the offer of an alderman’s gown
to Sir James Lowther. This proposal was strongly
opposed, chiefly on the grounds of itstending to throw
into the hands of an ambitious individual a predomi-

“nant influence:: notwithstanding thesc remonstrances, Sir
James was elected a member of that body. Some
time after this (in the year 1765 we believe) astrong

contest took place for the honour of the mayorality of
Carlisle between Sir James and Henry Aglionby, Esq.

In this contest, in which the former succeeded, partly

through the influence of a Noble Duke, the body
corporate was pretty equally divided, and from this
wra sprang up the distinction of the blue and’ Pape
party.

No sooner-did Sir James begin to wield the wand of
office, than the old regime of the corporation was
changed. The bailiffs of the city, who had
hitherto been chosen from the body corporate,
were now elected from the freemen at large: three
of the aldermen, viz. Messrs. Thomas and Joseph
Coulthard and Mr. Yeates, were immediately disfran-
-chised: Mr. Davidson resigned his alderman’s gown,
and Mr. Norman his office of councilman, soon after.
During the Baronet’s mayorality, it is but justice to
state, that a rigorous examination took place into the
public expenditure: at the same time impartiality
compels us to notice that no person ever obtained a
share of the good things in the gift of the corporation,
who had ever proved inimical to the interest of ie
‘then mayor.

From this time party affairs began to run high.
The two opponents, viz. His Grace the Duke of
‘Portland and Sir James, exerted all their interest’ to
‘secure seats in Parliament for each of their nomina-
tion, against the next general election: it is here
necessary to remark, that his Grace had then large pos-
sessions in the neisthouthbea of the city, and had es-
poused the cause of the defeated party in the corpora-
tion, commonly called the blue party.—Prior to the
35.

year 1766, the Duke had appeared to act only by his:
agents:—he now entered the lists propria persona ;
war was openly declared, and the once pvaceabie city of
Carlisle, torn by intestine divisions, became the scene
of nocturnal riot and dissipation, As the eve of
action approached, the two combatants redoubled theix
efforts : the baleful spirit of party eradicated every
social affection ; the Circean cup of debauchery transe
formed those who: called themselves. men into brutes 5
in this state of moral degradation. money seemed to
have lost its former value, as the sum of a thousand
pounds was considered a trifle for the expence ofa
single night.—In the blue interest, Lord Edward
Bentink and a Mr. G. Musgrave were the candidates ;
while Sir James introduced two. North Britons, Mr.
Johnston and Mr. Elliott ; but after a sharp contest of
five days, the tormer were returned.—This occurred
in 1768*.

! Notwithstanding g this defeat, Sir James still endeav-.
oured not only to preserve but to encrease his influence.
He visited the city twice or thrice a-year, and by his
disposal of places, &c. continued to attach many per-
sons to his interest..

The next great xra in the politics of Carlisle was
the memorable contest in 1790, which, as affecting
the freedom of election, was regarded with interest by
the kingdom in general. During the progress of
the election, the corporation, on the suggestion of
the then Lord J.onsdale, (formerly Sir James Lowther).
introduced into the corporation books the names
of 1400 individuals, who, they contended, were

than 100,000/.

thencerorward admitted to all ‘the rights and privie
leges of freemen; and the candidates in the yellow
interest, by means of this alleged . ‘majority, were
returned. The business was spiritedly taken up by J.
Cc. Curwen, Esq. and it was finally decided before a
Committee of the House of Commons, that the new-
made constituents, or Mushrooms, as they were
called, had no right toexercise the elective franchise.

J.C. itive Esq. and Wilson Bradyll, Esq. were
declared duly elected.

Until the death of the Earl of Lonsdale in 1902, the
state of politics remained ‘nearly the same as they had
for many years previously. At this period, however,
a partial compromise took place between the parties ;
notwithstanding, they are yet distinct, and not al
of jealousy toward each other.

We must not here omit to sable? and to the
honour of the place be it recorded, that notwithstand-
‘ing the unhappy ferment of party,—whenever any
thing of a national or patriotic object is brought for-
ward, all petty quarrels are forgotten, and there is but

“one jealousy, viz. who shall most conduce to the en-
couragement of any patriotic or wortby ge

ANTIQUITIES—ROMAN WALL, &c.

‘THE famous Roman or Picts wall, as it is also called,
being erected asa barrier to yrevent the ravages of the
Caledonian Britons, was first formed by Adrian, A. D*
37

121, of earth, with a large ditch ; but this barrier being -
found insufficient to check the fury of the valiant but’
uncultivated sons of the north, Severus built one
of stone: this fortification extended from Tinmouth
in N orthumberland, to the Solway Frith in this coun-
ty, and divided the kingdom from sea to sea ; at proper
and convenient distances castles or towers werd built
upon this immense wall to protect the country, and
carry intelligence from the one end of the wall to the
other. The legendary soldiers of the Romans were
employed in erecting this wonderful piece of architec-
ture, the remains of which may still be traced for 70
miles and. will long continue a monument of the
consummate skill and perseverance | of that brave’ and
formidable people. ay

The last Roman station in Northumberland is
Carr-Voren, the Magna of the Romans. From
hence the wall passes down to the river Tippal, where
considerable remains of it are to be seen. Leaving
Thirlwall castle to the north, at which place it is said
the Picts broke through, it passes the Wale Ese Pot-
‘tras and enters CUMBERLAND.
~~ On the west of that river are the remains of a salt
lum. Following the course of the wall across the Ir-
thing, we come to Birdoswald, ( Amboylana) which
was garrisoned by the cohors prima Ailia Dacorum.
‘The distance from Carr«Voren is 23 mils, and in this
space are visible three castella. A great number of
inscriptions have been found here ; most of them have
been carried away, but several of them are in the pos-
session of Mr. Bell, of Gilsland, whose collection of
these and other monuments of antiquity is accounted
very valuable.

The distance of this from the next station, called
Cambeckford, or Cast-sicads, the Petriana of the Ro-
88

mans, is 6; miles; in this tract of ground the vestiges.
of seven castella are observable at equal distances: the
wall of Severus is pretty distinct ; at many places the
facing stones are to be abseryed. Near Wallbours,
it is of a good height, and is passed by the military
road. Crossing the brook called Bankhill-burn, the
ruins of the wall attain a considerable height, but it is
here without facing stones. Near Binkshaw Severus’s
wall takes a sweep, going over the summit of the hill;
and at High-will-town all the works are obscure.

Castle-steads lies about 400 yards south of the wall.
The Ala-Petriana was situated here, and the ruins of
the wall are pretty distinct. Mr. Johnston, in making
his improvements upon 1 the site, discovered many an-
tiquities, which are carefully pee at Walion
House. Several antiquities, as coins, sc. had been
previously found.

Hence to Watchcross is a distance of three miles,
and in this space as many vestiges of castella are ob-
servable ; and the site of a fourth was to be seen some
yearsago, The state ofthe wall here i is vario us: from
Cambeckehilil to Irthington it may be traced in various
parts; at Old Wali the several works may be disco-
vered; between ihat place and Bleatarmn, at House-
steads, an altar was some time ago discovered, but
without inscription.—In the Notitia Watchcross is
called Aballaba, and held a detachment stiled 2wme-
rus Mansorum: it is on a dreary waste. A little
‘south of the wall several inscriptions have been found.
Near Bleatarn it passes through a morass.

From Watchcross to Stanwix, distant about five
miles, the works go through a fine cultivated country.
Not more than two castella are to be traced within this
distance ; the intermediate ground allowing space for
three more, now totally destroyed. Between Tarraby
39

and Stanwix, the foot-path is on the foundation of the
wall; anda few yearsago, Mrs. Graham, of the former
place, dug up a very perfect Roman altar among the
Fotinlatibw stones of the wall, while cutting a drain.

The following is the inscription :—

‘© The second sacred Augustine Legion, under the
charge of AUlianus, commander-in-chief of the second
Legion, Oppius Felix being his Deputy Lieutenant,
dedicates this altar to Mars, the great local deity ; to
be set up with care.”

Stanwix, the Congavata of the Romans, as is evi-
dent from the inscriptions found here, was garrisoned
by the cohors secunda legorum. Severus’s wall has
formed the north rampart of the station, and stretched
through the gardens of the village. The ditch is
distinctly to be traced from the west end of the place
to the river’s banks; and the ridge which the wall
has left is pretty eminent in many places, and may be
accurately traced to the very brink of the precipice
over the Eden. At Hissop-holm-well at the bottom of
a precipice on the margin of the river, not less than
100 perpendicular feet in height, some remains of the
40

wall are. yet to be seen; and the fishermen have fre-
quently pulied up large stakes from the bottom of the
river, which were entangled in their nets. Tradition
also records, that a wooden bridge passed from Stanwix
‘to the Castle bank opposite, in the wall of which
fortress there has been a gateway now closed up.

The next station upon the line of the wall is fixed
by the best antiquarians at Burgh, which is said to be
the Axelodunum of the Romans, and had the prima
cohors Hispaniorum in garrison for some time :—it is
distant trom Stanwix about five miles. The founda-
iion of the wall, after crossing the river at Stanwix, is
easily traced along Davidson’s banks, below Newtown ;
on the side of the road between Newtown and Kirk-
andrews, Severus’s wall is very visible, as also
Adrian’s, about a furlong to the south of the former,
upon the common. From Kirkandrews to W orman-
by and to Burgh itis also visible. At the tormer
place a Roman altar was dug up, and is now in the
possession of Mr. Norman, of that place. At the latter
place, the station is a little to the east of the church,
near to what is called the old castle.—In 1792, Mr.
Wilson, of Burgh, in cutting a drain at Hallstones,
found a small altar, dedicated to Belatucader, the Mars
or Apollo of the Britons.

Severus’s wall. passed on the north side of Burgh by
the edge of the marsh to Longburgh ; thence to
Drumburgh, where some antiquities have been disco-
vered. The site of the station is very distinct here,
but whether Adrian’s ditch proceeded further is
donbtful. The wallis very conspicuous at a small
distance from Drumburgh to the west, and continues
the greatest part of the way to Bowness, but no facing
stones remain above ground.
Al

Bowness, Blatum, Bulgium, Gabrosentum, ox
Tunnocellum, where the cohors prima Ailia classica
Was stationed, is the last station on the wail. ‘The
village now occupies the site; butthere are traces
of the vallum and outworks: several Roman antiqui-
ties have been found here*, —

* In order to convey a more perfect idea of the Roman Wall, it may
be proper to give some further information.

This grand work originated with Agricola, the celebrated Roman Ge-
meral, who formed a rampart, which consisted of a ditch three or four
feet in depth and as manyin width. From thisa bank rose, ten feet high,
and thirty thick at the base. This height, including the depth of the
ditch, gives a total rise of 13 or 14 feet. The opposite side of the bank
sank into another ditch that was 10 feet deep and 15 wide; which
gives the north side a declivity of 20 feet. A part of the soil thrown
out of this latter ditch, on the north side, formed another bank three feet
high and six broad, making an elevation, from the bottom of che ditch,
ef 13 feet. « /

Adrian’s works generally joined those of Agricola. Close to the
north side of the smaller mound, last described, that Emperor sank a
ditch 24 feet in width and 12 in depth; which being added, Agricola’s
smaller bank now formed a declivity of 15 feet to the south and 12 to the
north. Then succeeded a space of level ground, 24 yards over, anda
bank exactly similar to Agricola’s, being 10 feet high and 30 broad at
the base. He then finished, as his predecessor began, with a small ditch
of three or four feet—The annexed cut exhibits the two works viewed
in profile,

"aN

Severus’s wall and ditch in profile.

 

The works of Severus ran nearly parallel: the other two lie on the
north, never far distant, running on a course that suited the judgement
of the planner ;—the nearest distance about twenty yarcs—the greatest
nearly a mile—medium distance forty or fifty yards. Severus’s works
consisted of a stone wall eight feet thick, twelve high, but, including the

‘Having thus gone to the furthest western limits ot,
this stupendous monument of antiquity, we shall
notice {he remaining Roman stations in this county.
We proceed to Maryport, situated on a rising ground.
At the northern extremity of the town are the ruins
of a large Roman station, surrounded with double
ditches, and commanding an extensive view of Scot-
land. Antiquarians differ respecting the ancient.
name: by one it is called Olenacum, by another.
Virosidum, and Camden esteems it the Volantium.
Military roads led from it to Morresby, Old.
Carlisle, and towards Ambleside.—It has been,
in fact, a perfect magazine of Roman antiquities,
Mr. Senhouse, of Nether-hall, has taken great paing
in exploring this station, and his exertions have been
rewarded by a large collection of sculptures, inscrip-
tions, coins, &c. |
The next station is Morresby, according to Horses
ley the dbeia of the Romans, and which is west and
south-west of the church, close to the sea. The ~
numerus Barcariorum Tigritensium was in garvison
here: several inscriptions have been found, but they
are mostly dispersed.—Old Carlisle, (about one mile
south of Wigton) called Caer-Leol, is the Alenacum
of the Romans, where was garrisoned the ala

battlements, sixteen feet in height,—with a ditch to the north, thirty-
aix feet wide by fifteen deep. To this wall were added, at unequal
distances, a number of stations or cities, said to be eighteen in number,
eighty-one castles, and 330 castelets, or turrets.

Exclusive of all these, Severus constructed a number of roads, yet
‘called Roman Roads, twenty-four feet wide, and eighteen inches high in
the centre, which formed acommunication from turret to turret, from
one castle to another ;—and still larger and more distant road tos lead
to and from the respective stations. ‘There was besides a grand military
way, which. covered all the works ; and on the site of it, in most places,
the present military road was formed in 1752, ‘There were also other
roads branching out to the different fortified cities, twenty or thirty
miles distant,—so that throughout the whole country was a continued
series of fortifications,
43

Herculea. Theremains of this station are situated om
an easy ascent, commanding an extensive prospect
towards the Frith and Scotch borders. They are
very extensive, the foundations being scattered over
many acres. Sacrificial instruments, altars, coins,
&c. have been found here in considerable numbers.

We now cross the country to Old Penrith, (the
Bremetenacrum according to Horsley, and the Petria
ana of Camden) about five miles north of Penrith,
The Roman road leading to the wall went close by this
place, and was twenty-one feet in breadth. The
remains of this station are distinctly observable: the
ground within it has been levelled, and consists of
about three acres. As in other similar situations
great quantities of sculptures, &c. have been recover-
ed.—We now traverse the country northward to
Bewcastle ; which, there is strong reason to conjecture,
has been a Roman station, since a ditch of considera-
ble depth is yet to be seen, as also the remains of a
Jofty vallum, in the area of which the castle, church,
burying-ground, and’ parsonage, are situated. ‘Tes-
selated pavemeats, coins, and altars, have been dug
up in this place and in the neighbourhood ; and it is
supposed to have been garrisoned by part of the
legio secunda Augusta. A Roman road intersected
this parish, which communicated with the station and
likewise with Netherby.

-The latier place is supposed by Ca pilce, to have
been the 4sica, where the tribune of the first cohort
of the Astures was in garrison, Pennant calls it the
castra exploratorum of Antoninus. Be this as it
may, évery thing indicates it to have been a fixed
residence of the Romans. A fine hypocaust, or bath,
altars, inscriptions, utensils, coins, &c. are preserved

by Sir James Graham, Bart. of Nethei by, who very
politely permitted us to take drawings, which were
given in the History of Cumberland ; and to which
we refer the curious reader for a fuller account, not
only of this. but of all the antiquities of the county.

Since, however, the publication of the History of
Cumberland, several coins, &c. have been discovered
in different parts. But the most elegant and curious
specimen of ancient art known in Cumberland, are
two sacrificial Roman vases discovered in Carlisle
inthe year 1804, while digging a well in Scotch-street.
They were disposed of to the late Mr. Townley, the
antiquarian, and are now preserved in the British
Museum. The name of this kind of vase is generally
distinguished by prafericulum, and is undexstood to
have been appropriated to holding the incense, &c.
The metal of which the vases in question are formed
seems to be a composition of refined brass. The
sculpture of these vases consists of four groups of
figures, in excellent workmanship, illustrative of sacri-
fice. The uppermost seemsto be two people holding,
or preparing, a cow or bullock for sacrifice ; the next
a person taking hold of a bear for the same purpose 5
the third, a priest clothed in his robes, standing at an
altar, bolding something on it; on the one side of
ihe lower one, is a man in complete armour, holding
a knife as if going to immolate a sheep or lamb, which
another person below holds up for that purpose : on
the other side the priest stands, with another knife or
sword, attending ihe ceremony. —We believe the
vases we are speaking of are the first of the kind
discovered in Britain.

A very curious Roman sandal was dug up, siiile
sinking a well, a few yearsago. It is calculated for
a child’s foot, and the workmanship is truly elegant.

—It is now in the possession of John Losh, Esq.
of W oodside.—Miss Carlisle, of this city, has a preity
good collection of antiquities, and there are many
detached pieces belonzing to individuals ; among
ethers a British or Roman hand-mill stone, now in
the possession of the Editors of this work, found in
‘sinking the foundation of a house in the Old ‘Turk’s
Head-lane. Lo mention them all would filla voiume.

city. Alter studying uoder sic Joshua Reyno'ds at the Royal
Academy, he went to the continent, where he studied the works ¢
of the best masters in Geimany, ltaly, and Holland, for many
years, with the most enthusiastic assidutty. While abroad, he
made large purchaces of original paintings, and was fortunate
enough to gei them on beard ship before they could be se'zed
by the French, who was then overrunning those countries. For
this service he was indebied to Sir William Hamilton and Lord
Nelson. Mr. Lead exhibited his valuable collection in London,
which excited much admiration; but he died soon after in 1802.

Howard Henry, Earl of Surrey, born 1520, was renowned for
his military prowess, his accomplishments as a gentleman, and
his poetical genius and writings; he is celebrated by Pope in
his Windsor Forest, who applies to him these lines :

Matchless his pen, victorious was his lance,
old in the lists and graceful in the dance.
* He was beheaded on suspicion of his designing to marry Princess
Mary, and thereby aspiring to the throue.

Howard Lord William, a younger son of Thomas Duke of
Norfolk, who wes beheaded for Mary Queen of Scots. Having
married one of the Dacres of the North, he settled at Naworth
Castle; and though known to be a Catholic, he was appointed
Warden of the Marches in the reigns of Elizabeth and James I.
and by his exertions greatly contributed to the permanent secu-
rity and civilization of the Borders. Jord William died of the
plague at Greystoke Castle, in the year 1640, and is the common
ancestor of Lord Carlisle and the Corby family. He is one of
the distinguished characters in Walter Scoltt’s Lay of the Last
Minstrel.

-Howard Sir Francis, second son of Lord William Howard, of
Naworth Castle, to whom he gave Corby and several estates in
the county of Durham. Sir Francis had been a soldier all his
life and inthe year 1642 raised a regiment of 400 horse for the
support of Charles I. which he commanded, and, besides other
distinguished services, contributed greatly to the victory
obtained in 1643 at Atherton Moor: there Colonel Thomas
Howard, his eldest son, was killed, he having a few months before
lost a brother of the same name and military rank, in a skirmish
near Purcebridge. To raise and maintain this regiment, Sir
Francis sold two considerable estates in the county of Durham,
which would now be valued at more than 3000/. per ann. and the
remainder of his estates were confiscated during the Common-
wealth; ncr did his services, losses, and sufferings, or those of
his sons, preserve the family from the sequestration of the residue
of their property, as catholic recusants, during the times of religi:
ous heat in the reign of Charles il.

Howard Charles, of Greystoke, Duke of Norfolk, father of
that distinguished patriot the present Duke, published Bio-
graphical Anecdotes of the Noble Family of the Howards ;
likewise Moral Essays, in which are to be traced the liberality of
his sentiments, the benevolence of his beart, and his true regard
to moral and religious principle.

Howard Frederick, the present Earl of Carlisle, is justly
esteemed a literary character. He publisheda volume of Poems,
which possesses considerable merit ; he is alsoauthor ofa Tragedy
entitled The Father’s Revenge, &c.

Howard Thomas, of Corbv Castle, isthe author of a Poem
entitled The Landscape or the Banks of the Eden, and an Elegy on
the death of his eldest son. He died 1740.

Howard Philip, of Corby Castle, also courted the muses with
success, and is the author of a work of considerable learning,
research, and of acknowledged literary merit, entitled Thoughis
50

on the S ructure of the Globe, the object of which is to explain
philosophicaily the Mosaical account of the Creation and Deluge,
and to deduce from this, the causes of the actual Structure of the
cartn.—His fiterary talents and refined taste gave lusture toa
life of exemplary virtue, piety, and mild benevolence ; to him
Corby owes much of its beauty, and the county many agricul
tural improvements. He died lamented and revered by all
who knew him on the 8th January, 1810,

Howard Henry, of Corby Castle, unites in his exalted and
active mind, both the virtues of bis ancestors, and their love of
litera’nre. Fle has published the Wild Nuntsman’s Chace,
and Phe Freebooter, Poems from the German, and translated
from that language an historical Drama (with an introduction
and notes) entiiled Goets of Berlingen with the Tron Hand. We
also published a Drill for Light Infantry and Riflemen, arrang-
ed forthe Cumbeiland Rangers: this corps, which he commands,
has by the exertions of himself and the officers, attained a state
of discipline not exceeded by any Volunteer corps in the king-
@ 5m.

Howard John, mathematician, being brought here when an
infant, we are proud to claim him among our native geniuses.
With little or no instruction, but merely by his own application,
he became su celebrated for mathematical knowledge, that very
few, indeed, could equal him in this respect. A ‘Treatise on
Spherical Geometry, publiched by him, is highly esteemed.
After teaching a school in Carlisle for some time, he proceeded
with the late Dr. Law, Bishop of Elpbin, to Ireland, in the
capacity of secretary, but returped to this country about two years
afterwards, and resumed his humble occupation. In 1795 he
removed to Newcastle, where his abilities were duly appreciated ;
but his healih declining, he died there in 1799, aged 42 years, —
"The intense application necessary to mathematical studies did not
preciude Mr Howard from cultivating the poetic muse; several
of his productions in this line having appeared in the diurnal
priats.

Heysham John, M. D. of Carlisle, assisted in compiling the Na-
tural flistory department for the History of Cumberland, He alse
published a Tract upon the Gaol Fever, Bills of Mortality, &c.

Hobson, Rev. Thomas, was born, we believe, near Penrith,
and educated at Queen’s College in 1755: he obtained the rec-
tory of Holwell, in Somersetshire, and evinced the piety of bis
principles and his poetic abilities, by a Poem entitled Christi-
anity the Light of the Moral World. Died in 1777.

Heuseman John, of Lopham Park, Norfolk, a native of
this county,—author of a Vopographical Description of the
Northern Counties, published in 1800. Respecting the merit of
this work it is only necessary to remark, that the whole impres-
sion was sold in the course of a few months; and that portion
of it which related to the ‘Tour of the Lakes has gone through
three large editions. Mr. Houseman also wrote the agricultural
History of Camberland, for Hutchinson’s History of it,—the
merit of which is universally acknowledged.
bl
Huddart, Capt. Joseph, F. R. S. and elder brother of Trinity _

House, a gentleman well-known in the commercial and scien-
tific world, and whose advancement in life is doubly bonourable,
as having been produced entirely by his own merit and ability.
He is a native of Allonby ; was at one time a mechanic there,
but having commenced the business of a fisherman, gradu.
ally advanced to be a Captain in the East India service; when
having made three voyages, he retired. His nautical charts are
in high estimation.

Hudson John, D. D. a learned divine and critic, and editor
of many valuable works, was born at Wythop in 1662, and died |
in 1719. .

Ireland Joshua, M. D. 4 native of, and practitioner in, Carlisle ;
and whose practice has been eminently successtul. It 1sno little
credit to our native city, that Dr. Lreland should have founded a
new @ra in the annals of medicine,—he having successfully
treated two cases of fungus hematodes, by a method peculiar to
himself; and which disorder had hither'o been pronounced
incurable.—Bu’ as an oculist Dr. Ireland shines conspicuousiy.
He has already restored tothe blessings of sight nu mberless
patients, more particularly children born blind, who would,
otherwise, in ail probability, have lingered out their days—un- >
animated by the cheering rays of what the poet calls “ the soul
of this nether world.” 14

Irton Ralph, Bishop of this see in 1280. He wasof a Cum-
berland family, and in great confidence with Edward I.

Jackson Joseph. a native of Gilcrux, and of great abilities
as a mineralogisi and philosopher; though his ideas on the late
ter sujbect were very peculiar, yet specious, and supported |
by powerful reasoning. He died at Bourdeaux in France, in
1789, aged 50, on bis return from Spain, whither he had been to
open a colliery in Andalusia. In the year 1784 he made propo-
sitions for discovering the longitude.

Jefferson, Rev. Thomas, a native, we believe, of Holm Cul.
tram: he received his education at Queen’s, College, Oxford.
He never attained higher dignity in the church than the curacy |
of Cockermou'h: he was singularly eccentric, and died at the
advanced age of 93. He published a Sermon on the capture of
Quebec, and sundiy poetical jeux d’esprit,

Law Edmund, D. D. who held the see of Carlisle almost 19
years, having succeeded in 1768. He was from Lancashive, but
spent the greatest part of his lifein this county. He was aman
of great erudition, nor was his piety and meekness of manne:s
inferior to his learning. —He published a handsome edition of
Locke’s Works, witha Lite of the Author and a Preface; Cine
siderations on the Theory of Religion, to which were subjoined
Reflexionson the Life and-Character of Christ, and an Appene
dix concerning the sense ofthe words Soul and Spiritin holy
Scripture, and the state of the dead there described ; an Inquiry
into the Ideas of Space, Time, &c. in which he combats the
opinions of Dr. Clark and. others. Died in 1787.—Lord

Lonsdale Mark, a native of Cumberland, has written several
Poems, Cumberland Ballads, and pieces adapted for the thea-
tre. He also wrote a Poem, in the Cumberland dialect, highly
descriptive of the manners and customs of the peasantry in that
parish, entitled Orton Merry Night, intended for the History of
the County; but which is reserved, along with several other
valuable articles, for 2 supplenrent to tle work.

first volumes of the English Atlas, the Historical Library for
England, Scotland, and kreland, the Border Laws, and several
sermons. He left belkindhim many valuable M.S. S. respecting
this diocese, which are copied inté the History of Cumber-

land.

Nutter Henry, a native of Whitehaven, we believe came to
Carlisle in 1778. Hie was ceiebrated for taking likenesses, which
he executed with great accuracy and facility. Like too many
geniuses, being too fone of company, and consequently neglect-
ino his business, peettniary embarrassments compelled him to
jeave this place. After wandering about the kingdom for several

-ears he returned in bad health, and died lately, much lamented

Paley William, D. D.late archdeacon of this diocese, a gigan-
tic name in the republic of letters. He published, during his
residence in Carlisle, Moral and Political Philosophy, Hore
Pauling, Reasons for Contentment, a View of the Evidences of
Christanity, and Occasional Sermons: he has also published

Reay, rector of Denton. After leaving the free-school at»
Carlisle he went to Queen’s College, Oxford. In 1735 he pub-
lished a volume of Sermons, which have been well received.

He was at that time ourate of Battersea, —afterwards, curate and
- lecturer of Wardsworth ull the event of his death in 1756.—
There is a branch of the ancient family of that name, settled at
Gill, in the parish of Bromfeld, since William the Lion King
of Scotland, who gave them the grant of it. Irom this family
sprang Bishop Reay, of Glasgow, whe built the bridge there over

possessed a small property, After receiving the rudiments ac
Appleby schocl, he finished his education at Glasgow Univere
sity; and, on his return to his native village, commenced the
efliice of schoolmaster, and succeeded (o the curacy of the parish,
in both of which capacities he was eminent as he was pious, and
inculcated into the neighbourhood a taste for learning for which it
is yet distinguished.—He published a volume of Poems, mostly
i the Cumberland dialect, which has gone through severat
editions, Died in 1743.

Ritson Isaac, son of Isaac Ritson, of Eamont Bridge, born in
1761. Though decripid and lame,—of all the departed geniuses
in this county, there are few more worthy of commemoration.
After having been for some time under the tuition of Mr. Blain,
a respectable teacher in the neighbourhood, he was removed to
a Quaker’s school at Kendal, his parents being of that persuasion.
His progress in learning was very great; at nine years ofage he
had made no erdinary proficiency in theGreek language. : Irom
Kendal he was sent to study mathematics under Mr. John Slee,
of How-Hill, in Mungrisdale, an excellent mathematician, This
hitherto unnoticed village sage, with his pupil and many others
in these neglected spots, like some wild flower, might be said to

““bloom unseen,
** And waste their fragrance on the desert air.”
So clear and acu‘e were Ritson’s ideas, that he understood the
propositions of the first six books of Euclid almost as soon as he
read them. At the early age of 16 he commenced teacher in
Carlisle, but two years afterwards he resigned his school, and
made a tour through the Highlands of Scotland with Only a few
shillings in his pocket; but such was the kindness he experi-
enced in Caledonia, that on his return, in about twelve months,
he made a pretty respectable appearance,—being well clothed,

and no longer the humble pedestrian, but mounted on a pory.
He now opened aschool at Penvith, which his restless disposition
would not permit him long to retain, He went back to Scotland,
and studied medictne at Edinburgh for two years, supporting
himself, in the mean while, by writing theses for ‘be students.
At Edinburgh, Ritson formed an intimacy with the celebrated
Dr Brown: a remarkable semblance in character was perhaps
tie foundation of this friendship. He next proceeded to Lone
don, where he.subsisted upon the products of his literary labour :
he here published a translation of Homer’s Hymn to Venus,
and foy some time wrote the medical articles in the Monthly
Rewew. His Preface to Clark’s Survey of the Lakes exhibits
mucty learning and genius —Isaac Ritson died in an obscure
Jou ging at Islington, aged only 27: unfortunately, the numerous
M.%. 5. he left behind could never be tound. al

ROUTE FROM CARLISLE BY THE EAST.

PASSING the stone bridges over the Eden, and
through Stanwix, (already noticed) we proceed along
the Newcastle road, an excellent turnpike, and the
traveller is highly gratified with the appearance of
several seats and genteel farm houses. About two
miles from Carlisle, Drawdikes Castle appears, recom-
mending itself to observation by the appearance of
some antiquity. About a mile and half toward the
left, lies Haughton, a neat and opulent village, and
in which is Haughton Lodge, an elegant house,
built by Mr. Hopeson, Clerk of the Peace, Passing
by Linstock, Newby, and Crosby, we come to the
river Irthing, over which is a decent stone bridge.
On our approach toward Brampton, we gain a view
I
66

of Walton House, the property of W. P. Jounson,
Esq.

Brampton is a market-town, containing about 1500
inhabitants. No manufactory of much extent has
hitherto been carried on here ; but cotton and several
other articles. are manufactured on a small scale-
This town chiefly consists of one spacious street, which
is tolerably built; and, lately, some good houses, and
a commodious inn, have been erected. Its principal
support is its weekly market, which is well supplied
with corn and other provisions. A public brewery,
established several years ago, adds a little to its conse-
quence and population. The Earl of Caruisie has
made a railed waggon-way from his collieries on
Tindale-fell to this town, which not only supplies the
inhabitants with the necessary article of coal at a lower
rate, but has tended to encrease its trade by inducing
manufacturers to settle here. A small conical mount;
at the east end of the town, called the Moat, exhibit-
‘ing the marks of ancient fortifications on its top, has
been planted, and is now a_ pleasing, wooded
‘eminence.—Brampten is distant from Carlisle 92
aniles.

A little to the south of Brampton is Tarn Lodge,
‘tthe newly-erected seat of Joun Beux, Esq. ; and
pursuing the high-road toward Northumberland, we
‘come opposite to Abbey-Lanercost and Naworth
Castle, which lie on the Jeft,—each two miles from
Brampton. The former exhibits some fine ruins of
an old abbey, founded in 1116. Naworth Castle is.
the baronial house of the Lords of Gilsland ; at pre-
‘sent the property of the Earl of Caruiste, and the
‘hospitable residence of THomas Ramsuay, Esq. his
Lordship’s principal agent. Lord Wm. Howarp,
in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, lived here, and kept
67

the marauding borderers in awe :. the massy armour of
this Nobleman is yet preserved here : and there are
several curious apartments, &c. in the old style.

We now approach the mountains on the borders of
Northumberland, which are heavy and disagreeable 5
but to atone for their barren surface and unpleasing
appearance, they produce great quantities of coal and
limestone.

About four miles northward from Temmon, the
eastern boundary of the county, we find the noted
Gilsland Spa, situated on the banks of the Irthing,
which there becomes a deep, narrow, and romantic
dell. This water springs copiously from the bottom
of a roeky precipice adjoining the channel of the
Izthing. The basis of this is sulphurated hydrogen
gas.—Though this is not the water which is resorted
to and chiefly drank, there is a fine chalybeate in the
neighbourhood ; and also another spring about four
miles distant from Gilsland, of a strong ferruginous
taste, transparent, and of the colour of brandy.—
Much company resort hither during the summer, for
the purpose of drinking the- waters ; and: for whose
accommodation. good inns are provided.—For a fall
description of Gilsland and analysis of the waters, see
“* Guide. to Gilsland,”’ sold at the Spa, and: by the
Publishers of this work.

We return to Brampton, and’ thence proceed to
view the Roman inscription on the rocks of the
river Gelt, about two miles south of that place. The
eliffis of a vast heizht, overhanging the river ;-and
the face of the reck, on which the inscription is cut,
is of an angular form. This inscription is rather
injured by the hand’of time, and is only to be read by
the assistance of a ladder or a glass, and then but
68

indistinctly, except by those whose head will not turn
dizzy with clambering upona very narrow and rugged
projection of the rock, at an immense height. The
Editor of this work, by venturing what few, perhaps,
will be resolute enough to repeat, was happy enough
io obtain a correct copy of the inscription, given in a
plate in the History of Cumberland.—The following
is Mr. Horsuey’s reading of this curious piece of
antiquity :—

Vexillatio Legionis secunde Auguste, ob virtutem
appellate, sub Agricola Optione Apro et Maximo
Consulibus ex officina Mercati Mercatius filius
Fermii.

Above the inscription are the numerals 1X and X :
underneath the words IVL, and OFICIV® ROMA-
NORV, both apparently of more modern date.

Passing through the village of Hayton, (to the
east whereof is Edmund Castle, the much improved
and neat seat of THomas Gkaunam, Esq. standing
near the junction of the river Irthing and Gelt) we
come to Warwick-bridge, where there is a neat stone
bridge ; and on the opposite side of the Eden, War-
wick-Hall, the seat of Ropert Warwick, Esq:
presents a very good appearance. We proceed about
a mile anda half to witness the beautiful and enchant-
ing scenery at Corby and its vicinity.

Corby Castle, the elegant seat of H- Howarn,
Esq. is romantically situated on an elevated cliff,
impending over the noble river Eden, whose finely
wooded and rocky banks are seen from hence in the

most picturesque point of view, with the water rolling
down ina rapid stream, and apparently losing itself
under the shaggy rocks below. — Here are also some
delightful pleasure grounds, which Mr. Howarp has
of late much improved and extended. In pursuing

_ these walks, weare sometimes led through thick woods ;
sometimes we come close to the margin of the river,
and sometimes recede from it: now we visit a cell or
arbour, and now ascend a fine terrace, almost hanging
over the water. From the house we proceed up the
New Walk, shaded with foreign trees and rare shrubs,
and soon reach a path descending, through a grove of
hollies, towards the river. flere the singular beauty
and extraordinary height of the Scotch firs, planted
by Nature, among other large forest trees, on each
side, attract the notice, and excite the admiration of
all strangers. Here, also, we have a beautiful vista ;
including, in the view, a stretch of the river, with its
rocky, wooded banks on theone hand ; and the church,
priory, and vicarage of Wetheral, through the trees,
on the other ; while Warwick church, and the far
distant mountains of Scotland, form a back ground,
Descending to the Broad Walk, which stretches
about 700 yards along the margin of the river, we see
the sylvan banks of Eden in a new point of view, hay.
ing Corby-house perched, as it were, on the tops of
trees. A more rural walk continues for a mile above
this place, meeting with some remarkably picturesque
scenes, consisting of high rocks, some perpendicular,
and others shelving, with large oaks growing from the
crevices, and stretching their long arms over the path.
Ta following this path, we pass through woods of most
luxuriant growth, and verdait meads, graced with
straggling oaks, and bounded on each side with high,
wooded, and rocky banks, running on in careless
lines.
As we return from the pleasure-house down the
Long Walk, the hanging banks appear decked in the
richest cloathing imaginable, coloured in all the glow-
40

ing tints which a variety of trees, of vigorous growih,

intermixed with the naked tops of a few venerable oaks»

which have stood there for ages, can give.—Proceed-

ing a few hundred yards, we are struck with the ap-

pearance of two gigantic firs, of wonderful elegance,

standing close together, on the left: and, on the op-

posite side, we observe the ancient king of the forest
rearing his time»worn crest, near the top of the bank.

This is an oak, measuring 26 feet in circumference at

one foot above the ground, and who has probably
kept his court here these 300 years. At the north end
of this walk the cliffs*rise up ina grand style, and
semi-circular form, to the height of at least 100 feet per-
pendicular, having their venerable brows adorned with
oaks of great stature. In the bases of these rocks are
several spacious cells, or gruttos, hewn out of the solid
rock. Some are dry and pleasant apartments, having
views over the river which washes the foot of the rock,
and jutting ledges stretching forward over the entrans
ces, so as to form natural canopies.—In another part

of the rock there are two pretty large rooms, which,
from water constantly trickling down the front, and
sinking into the stoue, are kept continually damp.
These apartments afford a fine echo, and music has an
admirable effect therein, the sounds being reverberated
from rock to rock in an astonishing manner.—A little
beyond the top of this rock there isa reservoir of
water, which can, by opening a sluice, be brought
through an arched conduit, and precipitated down the
front of the rock in a fine cascade, falling over the
entrance of the caves. This amusement, thongh
latterly discontinued, was tormerly sometimes practised
to the great surprise of visitors, who felt themselves
suddenly doomed toa temporary confinement in the
grotto, by a means not at all suspected. \
“i

Here the beautiful, the sublime, and picturesque,
are united in sach a manner as to exceed all descrip-
tion: the boldly rising rocks are cloatbed in the most |
iuxuriant robes of grass, of ivy, of bolly, and other
evergreen shrubs ; of tatl and bulky trees, the mourn-
ing yew, the stately oak, and lofty pine; and, higher
still, the castle stands, seated firmly on a rock, looking
down upon us through the opening foilage; while the
crystal streams of Eden, divided by a long, wooded
island, and hurrying along a stony channel, is lash,
ing its rocky shores at our feet.

From these scenes we ascend the rock by a spacious
staircase, cut inthe solid stone, having the large arms
of oaks stretching across over our heads. A variety
of other pleasing walks and terraces extend to some
distance further dewn the banks of the river, winding
among the trees, and having various delightful objects
successively appearing in view. » All the pleasure
grounds are laid out with good taste, and as much of
the primitive beauties are preserved as possible.

The house, though part of it is very ancient, has
iately been so much enlarged and improved as to give
it a very genteel and modern appearance. Itis now a
commodious, and elegantly-furnished mansion.

There are some pictures of merit at Corby Castle.

“Immediately opposite to Corby is the village of
Wetheral, to which we pass over ina ferry-boat, in
order to visit St. Constantine’s Cells, the Priory, &c.
St. Constantine’s Cells are excavated out of a hard
rock standing perpendicular on the banks of the river
Eden; these cells were granted, or re-granted in ]080
by William the Conqueror to the Abbey of St. Mary
at York, under the name of the Chambers of Constan-
tine, with the lands and royalties belonging thereunto,:
and are now devolved to the Chapter of Carliste, held
in lease by Misses Waugh. The legend is, that Cone
stantine, the 3d King of Scotland, first inherited the
W etheral cells as a retreat after having been defeated
by Athelstan King of England; he resigned his crown
and hecame a monk at Melross Abbey. Cumberland
was then a fief of England held by Scotland.—The
Abbey of St. Mary builta Priory near Wethera!, the
oily remains of which is a tower with a large arch-
way, formerly the entrance into the court of the
Priory*. In the time of the monks the cells received
the name of the safeguard : they retired thither during
the incursions of the Scotch and borderers, where a few
men could defend themselves against hundreds ; since

* The church of Wetheral is dedicated to St. Mary and St. Constan-
tine,—to the Virgin in honour of the mother chureh at York, The
Hermit of this cell is the other patron.

Lie

)
74

those times the way and entrance to the cells have
beer made much more easy of access.

A little higher up, and on the same side of the river,
asummer-house, in the Gothic style, has lately been
built by Misses Waugh, of Carlisle, owners of the
Priory, &c. This house stands on the summit of a
bank, opposite a beautiful turn of the river.

Quitting these delightful scenes we follow the direce
tion of the Eden between four and five miles; when
Low-House, the neat, modern-built dwelling of Joun
Grawam, Iisq. is observed on the left. To Armath-
waite is scarcely two miles further. A good stone
bridge connects this little village, which stands on each
side of the water. Two pleasantly-situated seats ornas
ment this village. Armathwaite-Castle, the property
of Ropert Mitipurn, Esq. stands on the west side $
while a small country-house, belonging to Joun De
WiuetppaLe, Esq. adorns the banks on the east.
From the latter a pleasant walk extends up the borders
of the river, passing where the water is bayed across,
and where the salmon are frequently seen bounding
above the foaming flood, in unavailing attempts to
leap over the bay. _

We procecd along the eastern banks of the Eden,
and fall into the vale of that riverat Nunnery. This
beautiful and romantic place is the seat of Mrs. Bam-
per- The house is neatly built, and beautifully
situated on the crown of a swelling bank, occupying
the scite of a house of Benedictine Nuns, founded, ac
cording to Denton, by Witniam Rurus. The
prospect, though not extensive, is pleasant, taking in
a fine vale of undulating grounds: From the houe
we proceed along neat gravel walks, which wind
through groves of oaks and other tall forest trees, on
the upper banks of the river Croglin, to the borders
Vo

of Eden. The walk continues, for some distance,
along the margin of that noble river, having a large |
wood rising up the rapid slopes on the right, and pro_
jecting rocks, of amazing height, standing across the
water from the opposite side. Returning up the bor-
ders of the Eden, we are led to the foot of Croglin by
another path, partly cut through the solid rock, with
immense shelving cliffs and large arms of oak stretch-
ing over us. We now pursue our route up Crogling
water, along a narrow path, formed by cutting off the
points of some jutting rocks, and removing other
obstacles. The valley contracts to a span; the cliffs
mount up inawful grandeur, sometimes almost hang-
ing over our heads, and supporting large trees of
various sorts; while the furious little river, hardly
finding room for its waters, dashes from rock to rock,
sometimes hiding itself behind a lowering cliff, and
sometimes taking a leap over an impending rocha
forming a succession of little cascades. Thus the
scenery, though confined, continues to be exquisitely
picturesque, and wild as nature could wish. Atlength
the hollow sound of a great water-fall is heard, and
which soon meets the eye. The water pours from
an opening rock, and is precipitated about 12 yards,
in an unbroken sheet, into a circular bason of six
yards in depth, forming a very striking object.—
Leaving this place, we soon begin to ascend a rocky
path, which, traversing the woody banks, brings us to _
@ summer-house on the top of a cliff, and to various
other delightful spots. Upon the whole, the great
height of the shelving rocks on each side, half conceal«
ed by shrubs and large impending trees, the deep and
narrow zigzag dell, cloathed with the most beautiful
6

and picturesque appendages ; and the falling water ¢
all conspire to form what Mr. Fakriva@ron very just-
ly calls ‘* some of the finest close scenes in England.”*

Near Naunery, is Staffuld 2Zall, the seat of R. L.
logs, Esq. on a goo.l situation, and commanding a
fine landscape. Staffoll common is now inclosing ;
and we understand, that Mr. Ross intends to avail
himself of the opportunity afforded Lim by his allot-
ment commanding both the Eden and the Croglin,—
to make walks, plantations, and otber considerable
improvements, on the opposite side of the Croglin to
Hirs. Bambecn’s, and including the whole of the so
much admired water-falls of Nunnery. When the
whole of the contemplated improvements are coms
pleied, Staffold Hall, in beauty and variety of scenery,
willnot perhaps be inferior to Nunnery. itself.—We
next proceed to the small market-town of Kirhoswald,
(distant from Carlisle 15 miles) situated on a fruitful and
romantically-pleasing spot. It is a place of some
autiquity, but has not increased much in population :
it contains about 600 inhabilants. It is somewhat
singular that the church and belfry of Kirkoswald are
separate and detached buildings; the latter being
erected on an adjoining mount. A copious spring of
water issucs from beneaih the church. The family
mansion-house of C. S. FearnerstonuauGna, Esq.
called the College, is pleasantly situated on the south
side of Raven-beck, and near the church.

From Kirkoswald we turn eastward towards Ald-
ston, situated in the heart of a wild mountainous
district. After travelling about four miles, we reach
the basis of the mountain, which we ascend in an
almost perpendicular direction for nearly a mile.
V7

After traversing dreary and rugged wastes for some
miles, we reach the inhabited vale of Aldston, spotied
with white houses and hanving inclosures. |

The little town of Aldston stands on a rapid deo
clivity on the eastern side of the Tyne, over which
there is an old, narrow stone bridge ofone arch. This
place is almost wholly inhabited by miners, or people
connected with that employ.—The lead-mines within
the precincts of this parish are numerous, and generally
very rich, employing about 1100 men; and, it is said,
produce to the owners, upon an average, the clear
annual sum of 16,000/.. The whole parish of Aldston,
which is very extensive, is supposed to contain about
4500 inhabitants, exclusive of the miners. There are
some tolerable houses about Aldston; but buildings,
in general, though formed of stone, »nd covered with
slate, are rather mean and disagreeable.—Here is a
meeting-house which is well attended by Dissenters :
the Rev. Mr. Norris is the minister.

We return from these sequestered regions to Kirke
eswald, and approaching Little Salkeld, about three
miles south from the former place, on the eastern bank
of the Eden,—the road leads us through that singular
monument of antiquity, or Druidical temple, called
Long Meg and her Daughters, consisting of 67
unhewn stones, of various qualities and species, which
form nearly an exact circle, of 350 paces in circume
ference, most of them remaining upright. Some of
those that are standing measure from 12 to 15 feet in
girth, and 10 feet in height; others are much less in
size. On the southern side of the circle is an upright
square column, near 15 feet in girth,and 18 high,
each angle of its square answering to a cardinal point
of the compass. In that part of the circle most cone
tiguous to the column, four large stones form a square

figure; and toward the east, west, and north, two
K
78

stones of great magnitude are placed in the circle ata
greater distance from each other than those in other
parts. Adjoining the village of Little Salkeld, Samuen
Lacy, Esq. possesses a very neat house.

The village of Great Salkeldis situated on the oppo-
site side of the Nden. The church has a remarkable
tower, which has been strongly fortified, and yet con-
tains an iron belmet, and the remains of some coats of
mail, the property of some former champions. —Con-
tinuing southward along the vale of Eden, the village
of Edenhall is perceived: here stands an ancient
mansion of Sir Puitip Muscrave- On the opposite
side of the river, about three miles, is Skirwith Abbey,
on the scite of a religious house, the property of oun
Orrevur Yates, Esq. amodern-duilt mansion-house.
The pleasure orbimnds are laid out with good taste, and
the woods are ina very thriving condition.

Three miles distant, on the nerth bank of the river
Easmont, are two caves or grottos, dug out of the solid
rock, and very extensive. The passage to them is
narrow and dangerous, and from some iron gates have
ing been formerly taken from hence, ii is supposed
they were intended as a place of safety during the
incursions of the Scots, but strange stories are told of
their having been the abode of a giant who, like Cacus
of old, seized men and cattle, and drew them into his
den to devour them.

About three miles south-west of Edenkall, the beauti.
ful mansion of Carleton Hall, the property of the Right _
Hon. Toomas Wauuact, arrests the eye. Itisone
of the most beautiful spots in these parts: nature has
certainly done much in the disposition of the features,
and no attempt has been made to force or change the
character her hand impressed upon the place. The
general scene, inclosed on all sides by hills, presents in
its whole aspect retirement and tranquility. The
79

house is plain and modern : its situation is rather low,
but commands, iu front, an extensive lawn, intersected
by the river Hamont, while the Lowther winds round
its extremity.

RETURN TO CARLISLE FROM THE SOUTH.

PENRITH, to which we proceed from Carleton
Hall, is a market-town containing about 4000. inhabi-
tants. It lies on an easy inclination of the ground,.
and chiefly consists of one long street, stretching north
and south. ‘Phere are many well-butlt houses here,
and the inhabitants are wealthy, courteous, and well-
bred. The inns are numerous and respectable : those
at which the mail-coaches stop, are the New Crown
and George.—The church is a large and handsome
Structure, mostly new-built, except the lower part-.
Its roof is supported by pillars, consisting each of one
entire stone dug out of a neighbouring quarry.. In
the church-yard are two ancient rude stone obelisks, set
up at each end of what iscalied the Giant’s Grave,
and said to have been erected to the memory of Sir
Owen Casanius, a famous warrior, who destroyed
the robbers and wild beasts that infested Inglewood’
Forest. Here are a good free school, a chaiity
school, &c. with meeting-houses for Presbj«
terians and Quakers. Considerable improvements
have been made. ‘The old shambles, which werea
nuisance, bave been removed, and very neat and
commodious ones erected behind the George Inn,
onthe plan of those at Carlisle. In point of amuses
ment, Penrith has to boast of a newly erected and
handsome assembly-room, ani one of the ‘irst race.

courses in the North of England, on the west side of
the Beacon-hill, and which has been walled in. The
anouai races and hunt are well attended, and conduce
to the consequence of the place.

The old castle, of which some remains are yet
standing, overiooks the town from the west, and gives
it a majestic appearance. Ithas nothing very antique
in its members or ornaments; and the form of the
windows, &c. does not discover any thing to carry
our idea much beyond the time of King Edward V.
Be this as it may, it is the general opinion that
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard
Iil. resided here for some time.—This castle was
dismantled in the time of Charles I. by the rapacious
adherents of the commonwealth. The principal manu-
factures are those of checks, gingams, muslins, &e.
—Prnrith is distant from Carlisle 18 miles.

From Penrith-fell we see Greystoke Castle, the
ancient and noble mansion of the Duke of Norroik;
afew miles to the west; together with his Grace’s
extensive woods and deer-parks climbing up high
grounds beyend. Proceeding onward we observe
Plumpton Hall, the property of Miss SanpErson.
Ai Plampton the road passes through the ruins ofa
Roman station. (See account of the Roman Wall).—
There are several other genteel houses at a little dis-
tance from the road, on the west; viz. Hutton Hall,
belonging to Sir Frepertck Fuetcuer Vane, Bart.
bui which is hid from view by the intervention of a
deevepark ; Inglewood-house, the residence of Mr.
Joan Caster ; Breckenbrough, belonging to W.
Wiinson, Esq. ; Calthwaite Hall, the improved man-
sion of Tuomas Dixon, Esq.; Itonfield House, the
property of Heneay OxnrpHant, Esq. ; Peterill
Green, belonging to Mr. Cotuins. We at length
arrive at High Hesket, nine miles from Pen. —
81

rith,and as many from Carlisle. Leaving this village,
we observe, on our left hand, Moorhouse-house, the
residence of Isaac Parker, Esq.; Barrock Lodge,
the pleasant, modern-built house of James Grauam,
Esq. standing on the verge of a high bank, half
surrounded by the river Peterill, and looking down a
fertile vale inclosed with wooded eminences ; Wreay
Hfail, the property of Tuomas Bunson, Esq.;
Wood-side, tue exceedingly neat house of Joun Losu,
Esq. having woods and plantations of considerable
extent stretching from it in various directions ; New-
bizgin ffall, which surveys the vale of Peterill from
a pleasant situation, and is the residence of the Rev,
Mr. Bareman, who has made considerable im-
provements there; and Brisco-hill, the mansion of
Joun Tuomuinson, Esq.

We pass through the small village of Carleton, and
view Woodbank a litileto the lefi, where is an exten-
sive printfield under the firm of Mounsey, Lowry and |
Co. Towad the right, are the villages of Coathitt
and Cumwhinton; and Durnhill-house, conspicuous.
ly situated, the improving seat of RicHakp Lowry,
Esq. ; and on the opposite cirection the village of Up-
perby. Betore crossing the Peterill, the bleaching ground
of Messrs. Scakkow, Bakes, & Co. is discerned to the
leit, lately occupied by Messrs. Lams, Scott, Waxpie
and Co, To ihe right are Scotby and Botcherby.—
On crossing Harraby-bridge, the first object which
attracis our attention ts the cotton miil of Messrs,
Rotuweun and Co. cailed the Mains, to the right ;
and a little io the iefi, the newly erected work-house
of St. Cuthber:’s parish stands on a commanding
situation, and has a prominent appearance. A very
little further, is the neat house and garden of Mr,
Hauton, on ihe road-side, and about 100 yards to the
west is Sf. Nicholas, the property and residence of
82

Joespu Stupuoum, Esq. (which was formerly a hos-
pital for lepers).—Passing through the very elegant
toll-gatc and porter’s lodge, lately put up, we enter the
suburb of Gotchergate ; where isthe iron foundry of
Messrs. Nicnouson and Co. The Court-housces,
erected on the scite of the citadel, now catch the eye.
We enter English-street, and arrive at the Bush Inn;
kept by Mr. 'T. Wiuson, whither the mail and other
coaches arrive and from whence they depart alternate.
ly with the Crown and Mitre. In English-street, is
the wood-yard of Messrs, Forstzr & Co. and the cot ton
and linen manufactory of Messrs. Ferauson and
Dixon.

Opposite the market- place, in the centre of the city,
is the post-office, (situated in St. Cuthbert’s-lane) the
Crown and Mitre Tavern, already noticed, (where the
assemblies are held) and opposite to this is the
newspaper subscription room, which is very well
supported. We proceed along Scotch-street toward
the Scotch-gate, so called from its situation. In this
street the principal inns are the Grapes, Lion and
Lamb, Blue Bell, and Duke’s Head. Here also are
the iron and wood-yards of Messrs. Lewruwaitte and
Ligutroot, and near to the Scotch-gate is the iron
warehouse of Mr. Joun LonspAte, the manufactory
of Messrs. MS‘ Wixiuiamsand Co. and the wood-yard _
of Messrs- Porters and WauGuH ; also the manus
facturing concern of Messrs. Jounston and Giz-
pons. Near the bridge a road turns suddenly
to the right, and leads to the Swifts, where the races
are held. In this place are the wood-yards of Mr.
Rowtanp and Messrs. Ferauson and SoweRsy, and
the hat-manufactory of Messrs. FexnGuson & Co. in
George-street, where great improvements have been
made.—Passing through George-street, we come into
Spring-Garden-lane, where the bowling-green and
&3
tea-gardens aitached to the Shakespeare tavern occa-
sionally afford the citizens of Carlisle the opportunities
of innocent amusement and gratification.

We now direct our course tothe west of the cily.
Repassing the Scotch-gate, we advance toward the
Irish-gate, and in our way thither, is the manufactur-
ing concerns of Messrs. Stonparr, in Finkle-street,
also thetimber-yard of Mr. Nicuoxson, and in Fisher-
street the manufactory of Messrs. Forster. In
this street is kept tke Carlisle Library. In Annet(-
well-street is situated the timber-yard of Messrs.
T. Carrick and Co.

_ Leaving the Irish-gate directly fo the right, we
pass up Abbey-street, (where is Zion Chapel, in the
Baptist connection), and through the Abbey, to
the west walls, near which Messrs. Pugters’ iron and
brass foundry is situated. We then descend the
stairs of the sally port—pass Mr. Patrinson’s brewery
and Mr. Ciirr’s twist mill, and the workeshop of
Mr. Marspen (a very ingenious manufacturer of the
steam looms), adjoining to which are the extensive
bleaching concerns of Mr. Rosson Cuarke.—Passing
Mr. Hasgetnaton’s leather-dressing manufactory,
Mr. Cargick’shat-manufactory, and Mr. Bousreap’s
tan-yard, we come into Water Lane, where Mr.
Haucu’s brewery and the Carlisle Cotton Twist Com-
pany’s mill, and the one belonging to Messrs. Cowen,
Hevysuam, & Co. attract attention. Immediately
opposite, at Long Island, Messrs, Hloume have their
manufactory for weaving, which is performed by
the cast iron looms, that go by steam; and which
they have had the credit of introducing into this part.
From Water-gate-street we go up the Caldew to Cum-
mersdale, about a mile distant, where the calico.
printing and cotton-spinning businesses of Messrs.
Forster are carried on to a great extent,—From this
84

place we return to Carlisle by the river ; and jg
this direction many concerns are carried on ;—it
Denton-holme, the printfield of Messrs. Losa and
Co. and a small cotton mill belonging to Messrs.
Stoppart, and the premises lately occupied by Mr.
R. Cuarke, now used by Messrs. Houme for weay-
ing; the Old and New Breweries—the former in
Caldewgate, and the latter in Shaddongate, the iron
foundry of Fauuper and Co. ; and Tately was burnt
down a cotton-spinning mill occupied by Messrs.
Rosson and Co.—Without the Irish-gates are situate
ed the hat-manufactory of Messrs. Owen and THomp-
son, and the hat-manufactory, dye-houses, &c. of
Mr. F. Bearriz.—There are, besides, several manu-
facturing and other concerns, of minor importance.—
We proceed straight forward, and re-enter the city
by the Irish-gate, which looks full up to Abbey-street*

Any further information relative to this County
will be found in our History of Cumberland, and
Houseman’s Topographical View of the County
and Guide to the Lakes, to be had of the publishers of
this work.

* It is not impertinent here to remark, that this district of the city
may vie with any other in being the residence of genuine worth and virtue-.
The benevolence and charity of Mrs. Lodge and Miss Bowes (whose habita-
tion is situated at the entrance of Abbey-street from the Irish-gate) are toe
well known to require eulogy. Further up stands the hospitable mansion of
Misses Waugh, grand-daughters of a much-beloved Bishop of this diocese,

who are respected and beloved both by rich and poor. Misses Carlyle also re-

sides here: they have published a posthumous volume of Poems, the production

of their lamented brother; whose premature death deprived the world of the ~

result of his travels in Greece, Egypt, the Holy Land, &c. for literary objects,
and of his remarks and observations on the libraries and remains of literature
at Constantinople, and various eastern monasteries. The publication of these
is a great desideratum in the learned world. In Paternoster-row, adjoining to
Abbey-street, lives the widow of the late much respected Dr, Paley, one of
the brightest ornaments of the county ; aud whose writings are beceme of clax-

sical authority both with the patriot and the divine.

Round Naworth Castle, Thomas Ramshay, Esq. has brought tha
ground into a fine state of cultivation ; but more easterly, the country
becomes unfruitful and less pleasing ; and from the Irthing to Scotland,
there is a great extent of wild naked country,—becoming still more
bleak towards the Northumbrian borders. This tract comprehends part
of Lanercost, Kirklinton,, Stapleton, Bewcastle, and Nichol Forest,
The surface is tolerably level; the soil mostly cold, clayey, and wet,
and interspersed with large moors and peat mosses,—but contain some
fertile and well cultivated spots.

A great part of this secluded district was formerly a place of re-
sidence and retreat for a sort of banditti called Moss-Troopers, who
issuing out in hordes, infested and plundered in either kingdom, as they
found their booty most easily attainable. ‘These freebooters devastated the
borders for many ages, but Lord William Howard was exceedingly in-
strumental in rooting them out.

' Return to Brampton,—the distance of which from Longtown is 12
miles, along a pretty good road. In this direction we cross the Irthing,
where a pleasant vale spreads out before Mr. Johnson's house ; but, soon
after, a cold and naked country chiefly prevails, till we reach the borders
of the river Line,or Leven. Here the road dips through a narrow, but
fertile, winding vailey, and soon enters the extensive domains of Sir
James Graham.—A few miles further up this river is Kirklinton-hall, the
property of Josern Dacre, Esq. now in India. The immediate nei¢h=
bourhood is beautiful, and has a rich soil; but a less pleasing country
soon occurs on a most every side of it.

The Longtown road passes through a level country, which is general-
ly fertile, though sometimes mixed with a poorer soil; much of that
barren ground, however, is planted with forest trees, which, while they
shelter and beautify the district, hide its poverty.

ALSTON DIRECTORY.

 

) *4* We are indebted to an esteemed correspondent for the following ac-
count of Alston, —in addition to what we have noticed in page 777.

The town of Alston contains about 2000 inhabitants; the whole parish
about 7000. Here is a large market on Saturdays. Alston has a good
Church, of modern structure. As to the living, it is a vicarage, and there is
a chapelry at Garrigill connected.-The Rey. B. Jackson officiates at both
places. Besides the church, there are three meeting-houses, for Method-
ists, Quakers, and Independents. There are two Sunday schools, one at
the Independent chapel, and the other at the Methodist ; the former have
upwards of 200 scholars ; the Methodists nearly the same number.—The
‘Rev. W. Norris is the pastor of the Independents.

There is a regular post from Penrith, three times a week, and another from,
Newcastle, Hexham, &c. every Saturday.

There is a free school at Alston, with an endowment of 20/7. per annum.
The mhabitants have also nearly finished a new and commodious school-house,
which will contain full two hundred children, who are to be educated, gratis,
on the Lancastrian plan.

LONGTOWN DIRECTORY.

_ *,* For a description of Longtown, see page 1 of the body of the work.
tn addition to what is stated there,—there is a free school at Longtown
for teaching young girls to read and use their needle, under the patron
age and inspection of Lady Catherine Graham, of Netherby. In this
little school of industry, the girls are not only trained up to fill situations
of utility and industry, but what is of still greater importance, their
religious concerns are not neglected —There are also two friendly socie-
ties ; which, as in other places, have proved extremely beneficial.

Longtown is noted for its great Bacon Market every Monday. The
greatest part of the bacon is brought from Scotland, which on its arrival
pays a duty of 2s. per cwt: this raises to the revenue about £1280
annually. It is computed that nearly £100,000 is paid here annually
for bacon and butter.

The manufacturing business in this place is principally carried on by
manufacturers in Carlisle, who come on the market-days to give out
work: the principal of these are Messrs. Forster and Messrs. Stoddart.

CARRIERS.

Edward Glendining, George Temperley, and Thomas Carruthers, —
go out to Newcastle, on Tuesday ; and return on Saturday.

James Baxter and Thomas Carruthers go out to Dumfries on Tuesday
morning ; and reiurn on Friday evening.

MAIL COACHES, &c.

For information belonging to this head we refer to the Carlisle Direc-
tory,—all the coaches to Scotland, which pass through Carlisle, arrive
at Longtown in about an hour and a quarter after leaving the former
place; and vice versa. ;

ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA.
*.* The following biographical sketches were not ready when the
ether went to press:
Denton Mr. of Cardew, about the middle of the sixteenth century,
wrote a description of the county, with great care and judgment. It

chiefly treats of pedigrees conveyances of estates and manors, &c. and
eccasionally notices other subjects of a more generai nature. Mr. Gilpin,
XXXVI

e
\

of Scaleby, continued it down to his own time; and it was afterwarde
enlarged by Mr. Milburn, of Armathwaite; and these M. S,S. we in-—
corporated into the History of Cumberland.—Mr. Denton possessed
considerable property in the county; and we have heard, that in con-
sequence of a dispute with the Bishop of the see, he was committed to
the Tower, where he compiled his valuable M. S.

Goodman Richard, a learned antiquarian, was the keeper of Carlisle
gaol in 1728, as appears by his communications to Mr. Gale, respecting
antiquities found in this city, &c.and inserted in the Cumberland History.

Routh Thomas, lived in Carlisle in 1743, as appears from his commu~-
nications to Mr. Gale, on antiquities discovered in Carlisle; but we
know nothing as to his situation in life.

Smith George, a most indefatigable antiquarian, was a schoolmaster at
Beothby, and afterwards at Wigton. About the middle of the last cen-~
tury, he transmitted to the Gentleman’s Magazine many valuable Roman
inscriptions.—He was a native of Scotland.

Todd Hugh, a prebendary of our cathedral, about the middle of the
last century, composed a History of Carlisle, dedicated to the Mayor
and Corporation, and which is embodied into the History of Cumberland.

tt A number of respectable characters yet remain to be noticed in
our biographical Catalogue, which shall appear in the Second Part.

&> ‘The reader will be pleased to notice the follewing inaccuracies :

Page 7, in the note, we say, it was in King John’s time that the waste
jands in the kingdom were ploughed. We have since fcund, that it was
Henry VIII. who was the cause of this measure.

Page 16, in describing the cathedral, read six bells, instead ef eight.

Page 44, in mentioning the Roman vases found in a well in Carlisle,
read that they were sold to Mr. Chinnery, of the Treasury, and not to Mr.
Townley. The price was 12¢s.and double that sum would have been
given fer them by a Noble Lord, a native of the North. ‘ ,

Page 45, speaking of the much-respected Mr. Bacon, of the First
Fruits Office, we have committed an error in stating Kirklinton to be the
place of his nativity. His mother was a native of that place; but Mr.
B. was born at Lough-Grange, in the parish of St. Cuthbert. Besides a
number of essays, all tending to promote public and patriotic institutions,
in 1786 he published a work entitled “Liber Regis, vel Thesaurus Rerum
Eeclesiasticarum,” in a large quarto. size. This work has been Jong scarce,
and a second edition is much called for. We understand, that Mr. B.
has prepared many materials, but the immense consequent labour, and
his multifarious engagements, have hitherto prevented its publication.—
We intend im our second part to give some further particulars of this
gentleman, whose carreer in life holds out to youth a striking example of
what may be effected by integrity, industry, and perseverance.

Page 53, for Foseph, read “fosiah Relph, and add, that his poems were
published after his decease, by Mr. Denton. :

At page 19, line 11, for Prebends, read Prebendaries—At page 29,
line 18, for polite, read politic.

*,* Uhe following officers were accidentally omitted to be inserted in
the List of the Carlisle Local Militia:—Ensigns Thomas Lowes and
Robert James; and Adjutant, Captain T. N. Harris ; Quarter-Master,
Wiliam Jackson ; Surgeon, Thomas Blamire.
