CARIMATA, an island in the Eastern Seas, lying off the west coast of Borneo, betwixt the first and second degrees of south latitude. It is mountainous and woody, with a cloud-capt peak in the middle, and is inhabited.
CARIMON, Java, a group of ten or twelve small islands in the Eastern Seas, lying north of Samarang, in Java Sea, covered with wood. The principal island is about twenty miles in circumference. Long. 110. 15. E. Lat. 5. 45. S.
CARINA, a Latin term, properly signifying the heel of a ship, or that long piece of timber running along the bottom of the ship from head to stern, upon which the whole structure is built or framed.

Carina is also frequently used for the whole capacity [7:6:142] or bulk of a ship, containing the hull or all the space below the deck. Hence the word is also sometimes used by a figure for the whole ship.

Carina is likewise used in the ancient architecture. The Romans gave the name of carina to all buildings in the form of a ship, as we still give the name of nave to the middle or principal vault of our Gothic churches, because it has that figure.
CARINAE were weepers, or women hired among the ancient Romans to weep at funerals. They were thus called from Caria, the country whence most of them came.
CARINI, a city of Italy in the intendancy of Palermo, in the island of Sicily. It is situated on a small bay in a luxuriant valley, eighteen miles from Palermo, and contains 7600 inhabitants.
CARINTHIA, a province of the Austrian empire, with the title of duchy, lying between 12° 35' and 15° of east longitude, and between 46° 20' 50" and 47° 6' of north latitude. It is bounded on the west by the Tyrol, on the south by Carniola and Friuli, and on the north and east by Salzburg and Styria. This province contains about 4000 English square miles, and a population of 300,000. The chief towns are Clagenfurth and Villach.

Carinthia, like the Tyrol, to which it adjoins, is a series of mountains separated by narrow valleys. They attain their highest elevation on the frontiers of the province, and in general are covered with thick forests, which would be valuable were it practicable to convey the trees to navigable rivers. The valleys, besides being narrow, are frequently short; and this, in connection with the height of the mountains, has contributed to form the vast number of lakes with which the province is studded. In this respect it bears a resemblance to the Highlands of Scotland. The soil of Carinthia is by no means fertile, except in a few favoured spots, such as the valley of Lavant; in these the fruits of the south abound. Of 1,400,000 acres, about one seventh only is under tillage; the rest consist of pasturages, which are extensive, and waste lands. Wheat, oats, millet, and buck-wheat, are successfully cultivated in the plains, while only rye and barley thrive on the mountains. Turnips, potatoes, beet-root, carrots, and other garden vegetables, are raised in considerable quantities. Although ample facilities are afforded for the breeding of cattle, that branch of agricultural trade is little understood; and hence the quantity of cattle bred is not considerable. The chief wealth of Carinthia consists in its metallic mines; and to these may be added its marble, which is of great beauty and whiteness. In many of the lead mines silver is found impregnated with the ore; and at Mieslding and Steinfeld it is found in a state of purity. Near Cappel a mine of quicksilver of some value has been discovered; and there are also copper mines on a small scale; but by far the most important are those of iron and lead. That portion of the latter metal which is found near Villach is considered as the finest in Europe. The chief manufactures of Carinthia are those which have a relation to the mineral kingdom, such as the well known steel called brescia, iron plate, fire-arms, and the several preparations of lead.

In manners and character the Carinthians in some degree resemble the Italians. They are in general gay, frank, and contented, fond of tranquillity and a pastoral mode of life; but, as a counterbalance to these, they are indolent, ignorant, and bigoted. Their dialect has a strong resemblance to that of the Sclavonians of Lower Styria. In religion the Carinthians are adherents of the Romish church; the only sectaries are Lutherans, who are not numerous. This duchy forms part of the division of the Austrian empire, which has its seat of government at Gratz.
CARITAS. The poculum caritatis, or grace-cup, was an extraordinary allowance of wine or other liquors, which the religious at festivals drank in commemoration of their founders and benefactors.
CARKE denotes the thirtieth part of a sarplar of wool.
CARLETON, Sir Dudley, was born in Oxfordshire in 1573, and bred in Christ Church College. He went as secretary to Sir Ralph Winwood to the Low Countries when King James resigned the cautionary towns to the States; and he was afterwards employed for twenty-nine years as ambassador to Venice, Savoy, and the United Provinces. King Charles created him Viscount Dorchester, and appointed him one of his principal secretaries of state, in which office he died in 1651. He was esteemed as a good statesman, though an honest man. He published several works, consisting chiefly of speeches, letters, and other productions on political subjects, of which the most valuable is a selection of “Letters to and from Sir Dudley Carleton during his embassy to Holland, from January 1616 to December 1620.”
CARLINE, or Caroline Thistle. This plant is said to have been discovered by an angel to Charlemagne, to cure his army of the plague; whence its denomination.

Carlines, or Carlings, in a ship, two pieces of timber lying fore and aft, along from one beam to another, directly over the keel, and serving as a foundation for the whole body of the ship. On these rest the ledges, on which the planks of the deck and other matters of carpentry are made fast. The carlines have their ends let into the beams called culver-tailways. Carline Trees are timbers going athwart the ship, from the sides to the hatchway, and serving to sustain the deck on both sides.
CARLINGFORD, a sea-port town of Ireland, in the county of Lowth, situated on a bay to which it gives name. The town is inconsiderable. Butter brought from the county of Tyrone is here shipped to a considerable extent; and large quantities of oysters are sent to Dublin. This town has a castle built on a rock, which is said to have been founded by King John. It is distant fifty-one miles north of Dublin. Long. 6. 8. W. Lat. 54. 1. N.
CARLISLE, a city, the capital of the county of Cumberland, on the south side of the river Eden, near the influx of the Cadew. It is 305 miles from London, and sixteen from Penrith. As a frontier place towards Scotland, it has still some ancient fortifications, though in a state of dilapidation. It is the see of a bishop, having been separated from the diocese of Durham in the reign of Henry I. The government of the city is vested in a corporation, consisting of a mayor, a recorder, twelve aidermen, and twenty-four common-council men. The assizes for the county are held here, but only once in the year. It sends two members to parliament. There are two parish churches, one of which, St Mary’s, serves as the cathedral. Of late years the importance of Carlisle has been increased by the extension of its manufactures. These consist of printed calicoes and other cotton goods linens of various kinds, worsted, articles, hardware, cordage, and various smaller commodities. It is in long. 2. 53. E. and lat. 54. 56. N. The population amounted in 1811 to 10,875, in 1821 to 15,476, and in 1831 to 20,006. It gives the title of Earl to a branch of the Howard family.
CARLOCK, in Commerce, a sort of isinglass, made of the sturgeon’s bladder, imported from Archangel. The chief use of it is for clarifying wine, but it is also used by the dyers. The best carlock comes from Astracan, where a great quantity of sturgeon is caught.

The harbour is very secure, and the merchants have about thirty ships. Long. 15. 9. 31. E. Lat. 40. 31. 45. N.
CARLOS, San, a city of South America, in the province and government of Venezuela. It is situated on the river Aguirre, and is large, handsome, and well divided. Like a number of other towns in the South American provinces, it was founded by the missionaries. The inhabitants, who are chiefly Spaniards from the Canary Islands, display considerable enterprise and industry. Their wealth consists mainly of cattle, and the principal agricultural products are indigo and coffee. The heat experienced at San Carlos is great, and would be almost intolerable but for the north-east wind which frequently blows here. The population amounts to about 10,000. It is 180 miles southwest of Caraccas. Lat. 9. 20. N.
CARLOTA, a town of Spain, in the province of Cordova. It is one of those new establishments, founded with a view to cultivate the Sierra Morena. It is near the confluence of the rivers Guadalquivir and Xenil. The cultivation of the Sierra Morena by German colonists was the project of the meritorious but unfortunate Olavide, and was conducted by him with great judgment. It would have been crowned with ultimate success, but for his being subjected to the power of the Inquisition, which by his imprisonment first checked it; and it was subsequently impeded by the war of independence which so long desolated Spain. This town contains 900 inhabitants.
CARLOWITZ, or Karlovacze, a city of Hungary, in the province denominated the Sclavonian Frontier. It is situated on the south bank of the Danube, about ten miles from Peterwardein. It is the seat of the Greek archbishop, and, besides the cathedral, has two Greek churches and one Catholic, with 930 houses, and 5600 inhabitants, who carry on a considerable trade with the Turkish dominions. Long. 19. 45. 5. E. Lat. 45. 12. N.
CARLSBAD, a town in the Austrian kingdom of Bohemia, the capital of the circle of Caslau. It is celebrated throughout the Continent for its mineral springs, which are frequented in the summer season by numerous visitors of the highest rank. It is situated between two lofty mountains, through which the river Tepl runs; and the surrounding country is highly picturesque, whilst the various accommodations for the company that resort to the town make it an agreeable residence for the patients. The springs differ but little from each other in their component parts; all have both an aperient and tonic quality. Some of them are warm. The Brudel is of 50 degrees of Fahrenheit, the Mühlenbad of 38. The Neubrunnen and the Sclopbrunnen are also warm; but the one most prized is the Sauerbrunnen, which is cold, and has more saline particles. These baths are said to have been discovered by the Emperor Charles IV. when on a hunting excursion, and to have derived their name from him. The town contains a church, theatre, ball-room, and about 2500 resident inhabitants, who are employed in manufacturing various articles of fine steel, of gold and silver, of porcelain, of fire-arms, and various trinkets. It is thirty-eight miles from Prague, and the roads to it from thence and from Saxony are very good.
CARLSBURG, a city, the capital of the same name, in the Austrian province Siebenbergen, in Hungary. It [7:6:145]is situated on the banks of the Maros, and contains, besides the cathedral, a Catholic, a Lutheran, a Reformed, and a Unitarian church, and two synagogues.

CARLSRUHE, a city of Germany, the capital of the dominions of the Grand Duke of Baden. It is situated in the valley of the Rhine, about three miles from that stream, and 376 feet above the level of the sea. The city is built in a peculiar form, eight principal streets proceeding from a circular centre, and not unlike the stick of a fan when open, which produces a very striking effect in spite of the dulness of uniformity. The palace of the duke, and the other public buildings, arc, some tasteful, some magnificent; and the institutions for education, for charity, as well as the library, the museums, and various collections, are appropriate and well conducted. The inhabitants amount to 15,789, of whom 9299 are Lutherans, 4417 Catholics, 642 Calvinists, with some other sectaries, and a few Jews. It is a place of sonic trade, but chiefly confined to the sale of the various productions needed by the inhabitants of the duchy.

It extends along the shores of the Adriatic Sea, being bounded on the north by Illyria; on the east by the Banal Frontier, Bosnia, and Dalmatia; on the south and west by the Adriatic; and on the north-west by Illyria. It extends over 3750 square miles, or about 2,300,000 English acres, and contains 193,600 inhabitants, living under a kind of feudal military discipline, in small establishments, always in a state of preparation to rcpel any incursions from their Turkish neighbours. The country is for the most part mountainous and sterile; but many spots are cultivated, and produce, corn, wine, and silk; and there arc many saw-mills for converting the woods to useful purposes.
CARMAGNOLA, a city of Italy, in the province of Turin, in the kingdom of Sardinia, on a small stream that runs into the Po. It contains an elegant church, and five others, four monasteries, and 1200 inhabitants, who carry on great commerce in silk and linen goods. The silk market in June is the most frequented of any in Piedmont, and the price fixed there generally rules that of the surrounding country.
CARMEL, a high mountain of Palestine, standing on the skirts of the sea, and forming the most remarkable headland on all that coast. It extends eastward from the sea as far as the plain of Jezreel, and from the city of that name it stretches to Caesarea on the south. It seems to have had the name of Carmel from its great fertility; this word, according to the Hebrew import, signifying the vine of God, and being used in Scripture to denote any fruitful spot, or any place planted with fruit trees. Mount Carmel, we are assured, was at one time very fertile. Now it is represented by some travellers as dry and barren; but this arises from the negligence of the Turks. Carmel is the name of the mountain, and of a city built on it, as well as of a heathen deity worshipped in it, but without either temple or statue; though anciently there must have been a temple, as we are told that this mountain was a favourite retreat of Pythagoras, who, unattended by any one, spent a good deal of time in the temple. But what has rendered Mount Carmel most celebrated and revered both by Jews and Christians, is its having been the residence of the prophet Elijah, who is supposed to have lived there in a cave, which is still shown, before he was taken up into heaven.
CARMEN, an ancient term among the Latins, used in a general sense to signify a verse, but more particularly to signify a spell, charm, form of expiation or execration, couched in a few words placed in a mystic order, on which its efficacy depended. Pezron derives the word carmen from the Celtic carm, the shout of joy, or the verses which the ancient bards sung to encourage the soldiers before the combat.

Carmen was anciently a denomination given also to precepts, laws, prayers, imprecations, and all solemn formulae, couched in a few words placed in a certain order, though written in prose; in which sense it was that the elder Cato wrote a carmen de moribus, which was not in verse, but in prose.
CARMENTALIA, a feast among the ancient Romans, celebrated annually upon the 11 th of January, in honour of Carmenta or Carmentis, a prophetess of Arcadia, mother of Evander, with whom she came into Italy sixty years before the Trojan war. The solemnity was also repeated on the 15th of January, which is marked in the old calendar of Carmentalia relata. This feast was established on occasion of a great fecundity among the Roman dames, after a general reconciliation with their husbands, with whom they had been at variance, on account of the use of coaches being prohibited them by an edict of the senate. This feast was celebrated by the women; he who offered the sacrifices was called sacerdos Carmentalis.
CARMONA, a city of Spain, in Andalusia, in what is called the kingdom of Seville. It is situated on a gentle elevation, and towards the south overlooks a plain, one of the richest in Spain, being almost wholly covered, for more than twenty miles, with woods of olive trees. A castle, now in ruins, was formerly the principal fortress of Peter, called the cruel king of Aragon; and it contained a spacious palace within its defences. When the Romans ruled in Spain, this place, then called Carmone, was one of their stations; and numerous inscriptions and other remains of that people are found in this vicinity. It is in longitude 5. 8. 51. W. and in latitude 37. 28. 1. N. This city now contains 12,685 inhabitants.
CARMULLA, a considerable town of Hindustan, with a stone fort, in the territories of the Poonah Mahrattas, and province of Aurungabad, 100 miles east from Poonah. Long. 75. 32. E. Lat. Ì8. 23. N.
CARNAC, a town in the department of Morbihan, in France, containing 2614 inhabitants.
CARNAPRA ÝCEGA, one of the holy places of the Hindus, in Northern Hindustan, province of Serinagur, situated at the confluence of the Alcananda with the Pindar river. Long. 79. 15. E. Lat. 30. 17. N.
CARNATION, among painters, is understood of all the parts of a picture in general which represent flesh, or which are naked and without drapery. Titian and Correggio in Italy, and Rubens and Vandyke in Flanders, excelled in carnations.
CARNAUL, a town of Hindustan, and the chief town of a district in the Balaghaut ceded districts, situated in the middle of a very extensive plain. This district extends along the south side of the Toombuddra river, and is situated between the 15th and 16th degrees of north latitude. It was ceded to the British in 1800, and was then in a very desolate state; but, under the influence of regular government, it has since greatly recovered. The town is situated on the south side of the Toombuddra river. Long. 77. 58. E, Lat. 15. 50. N. This town was in 1752 the capital of a Patan state, and is still the residence of a Patan chief, who is tributary to the Company. It is 279 miles S.S.W r . from Madras, the same distance from Seringapatam, and 127 miles travelling distance from Hyderabad.
