MONTHLY PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES. 



NORTHUMBERLAND. The unemployed 

 seamen of the port of Sunderland have addressed a 

 letter to the ship-owners of that port, stating that 

 there are "at least between two and three hundred 

 seamen, who have served their apprenticeship out 

 of the port, totally out of employment ;" and beg, 

 therefore, humbly to represent their case to the ship- 

 owners of their native port, trusting that they will 

 give them the preference, whenever vacancies take 

 place in their respective ships, to utter strangers, 

 who (as they state) are now very numerously in- 

 creasing in the port." Tyne Mercury. 



June 1. According to annual custom, the children 

 of the Sunday schools in this town (Newcastle) and 

 neighbourhood, connected with the Newcastle 

 Sunday School Union, were assembled at Newcas- 

 tle and at Gateshead, where they went through the 

 services appointed for the occasion. In the evening 

 a Report for the last year was read, which stated 

 that the formation of Sunday school libraries, in 

 the country schools, had been actively prosecuted, 

 and they were found to be very useful auxiliaries ; 

 and that the numbers of schools, teachers, and chil- 

 dren, are as follow : 



Sch. Teach. Chil. 



Connected with the Union, 128 2,489 13,397 

 Not connected, about 43 410 4,319

CUMBERLAND.-Thursday last being the day 

 appointed for opening the new corn-market in As- 

 patria, at an early hour in the morning a large con- 

 course of respectable farmers and yeomen had as- 

 sembled, and laden carts, with numbers of persons 

 on horseback and on foot, poured into the village in 



rapid succession until the time fixed for commencing 

 the market. The quantity of grain and other articles 

 of necessary consumption offered for sale was much 

 greater than could have been anticipated by the 

 warmest friends of this new and apparently pros- 

 perous undertaking. From the spirit displayed by 

 the principal inhabitants, who have spared neither 

 expense nor exertions to ensure the success of the 

 new mart, and the animation conspicuous amongst 

 both buyers and sellers, there is little doubt of As- 

 patria becoming, if not a first-rate, yet a very consi- 

 derable market, and that at no distant period Cum- 

 berland Pacquet, June 15. 



YORKSHIRE.-The Northern Exhibition of 

 the Works of Art was opened to the public, May 24, 

 in Leeds, having on the Saturday preceding been 

 submitted to the inspection of the members and 

 their friends. Many of the pictures are by ancient 

 masters, but they are principally works of modern 

 British artists. The numbers extend to 439, and 

 the arrangement appears to have been made with 

 great skill and judgment. 



Our attention has been called to a disgraceful 

 practice, which we are informed prevails in certain 

 villages in the vicinity of this city : this custom is no 

 less than the holding of a sort of weekly slave-mar- 

 ket. In one of the villages alluded to, it is, we under- 

 stand, the habit of the farmers to assemble every 

 Friday evening ; and being congregated, a list of the 

 labouring poor who are in the receipt of parochial 

 relief is produced, and their work for the ensuing 

 week is put up to auction to the highest bidder ! and 

 notice is sent to them, that, for the next week, they 

 belong to Farmer Such-an-one ; and to him they 

 must go, for him they must labour, and that too 

 for the price he has bid for them in the market.
