CARLISLE CHURCH OF ENGLAND RELIGIOUS AND GENERAL LITERARY ASSOCIATION. -
The Council of this Institution has energetically set to work to carry out
that portion of their President's late Address referring to Classes. An
intimation has been sent to every member of the Association that Classes are
in progress. The following gentlemen have very kindly undertaken to conduct
the Classes:

Rev. Wm. BELL, of the High School, Latin and Roman History
Rev. J. G. DOMAN, of the High School, Mathematics and Natural Philosophy;
ditto, Arithmetic and Book-keeping
Rev. J. A. WILSON, of Stanwix, Political and Social Economy, or Astronomy.

Besides which there will be a Weekly Scripture Class, and an Essay and
Discussion Class. We hope that the Members, especially the junior ones,
will second the efforts of the Council, and numerously attend the Classes
thus formed for their benefit. It will also be seen by a reference to our
advertising columns that the suggestions of the Chancellor, in his late
address, with reference to the Lectures, are to be carried out this season.
    A course of Five Lectures on "The Religious Aspects of these Times" by
the Rev. G. R. MONCRIEFF, M.A., being announced; the first, on "Doctrinal
Developments" to be delivered on December 8th. We hope that the efforts of
the Council will be duly appreciated by the Members, and also meet with a
liberal support from the public.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S PRIMARY VISITATION. --

THE EPISCOPAL CHARGE. On Wednesday morning the Bishop of London brought his
primary visitation to a close by the delivery of his long-promised charge,
which appeared to excite great interest amongst the clergy, upwards of 1,000
of whom assembled. The bishop delivered his charge from under the dome, the
clergy all being gathered around him. The charge occupies no less than
seven pages of the "Guardian", and twelve columns in the "Times" of
Thursday. It treats at length upon all the important Church questions.
Speaking of the document, the "Times" remarks - "With its general tenour
we think that sensible and moderate men will agree. The new Bishop of
London has, during his short occupation of the see, had to deal with many
questions which if not important in themselves, have been made so by the
zeal or perversity of those concerned in them. In all such matters he, in
the opinion of the great body of the public, acquitted himself well. To
give satisfaction to all concerned would, of course, be impossible, and,
indeed, none but a weak and unwise man would hope for popularity by such
indiscriminate conciliation."

THE WEATHER. - There are unmistakeable signs of the near approach of winter
in the prevalence of biting winds and frosty nights, though the days for the
most part, have so little resembled those of the month of November, that
they have been clear, beautiful and bright, with an entire absence of fog.
Yesterday (Thursday) morning, however, there were indications of a fall of
snow, but subsequently the sky cleared up.

CALDBECK CHURCH. - For several Sunday evenings past, the above church has
been beautifully lighted with gas; the apparatus being the gift of John R.
PATTINSON, Esq., of Liverpool. The church is also heated with gas. This
liberal gift is highly appreciated by the parishioners. The church has also
been well matted, and the pews boarded; altogether great exertions have
been made to make the congregation comfortable and warm, and these efforts
have been amply rewarded by the attendance of large congregations both
morning and evening.

CALAMITOUS ACCIDENT BY BURNING, AT THE EARL OF BRADFORD'S, AT WESTON. - It
is with the deepest feeling of sympathy and regret that we have to record a
most melancholy accident, which has thrown the family of the EARL of
BRADFORD into the deepest affliction.   We learn that Lord and Lady NEWPORT
arrived at the family seat at Weston on Monday last, and that before
retiring to rest, between twelve and one o'clock, her ladyship was engaged
in conversation with the Ladies LUCY and HARRIET BRIDGMAN, when the dress of
the latter accidentally came in contact with the fire, and was immediately
in flames. Rushing out into the hall, she was follwed by her sister, Lady
Lucy, who in her vain attempt to help her, likewise caught fire. The
piercing screams of the terror-stricken ladies summoned the Earl of BRADFORD
and Lord NEWPORT, who were in a distant part of the house, and the
domestics, who had retired to rest.

    The flames were with difficulty extinguished, but not until the
unfortunate ladies were fearfully burned, and the Earl and Lord and Lady
Newport were likewise seriously burned about their hands in their efforts to
save them. Special messengers were immediately despatched to the medical
advisers of the family, Messrs. TURNER and JOHNSON, of Shiffnal, and to Mr.
BENNET, who was on a visit at Wolverhampton, and it is needless to say that
every effort was made to relieve the fair sufferers which talent and
kindness could devise.

    We deeply regret, however, to add that Lady Lucy BRIDGMAN is so
dreadfully burnt about the head, chest, and arms, that faint hopes are
entertained of her recovery, while her sister, likewise, in in a most
deplorable condition. - 'Wolverhampton Chronicle'
