MONTHLY PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES. 



NORTHUMBERLAND. _ Hagger- 

 Leazes branch of the Stockton and Darling- 

 ton railway, having been finally completed, 

 by its extension to the Butterknowle and 

 Copley colleries, this portion of the line was 

 opened for public use October 2 ; when a 

 deputation from the company, consisting of 

 a part of the committee, the engineers, and 

 others connected with the undertaking, 

 travelled up the line from Darlington, and 

 were received at its termination by the pro- 

 prietor of those collieries, and a party of 

 friends, amid the cordial cheers of the party 

 assembled. The railway branch now com- 

 pleted will be an extensive benefit to the 

 public ; it opens a communication with the 

 lead mine district, terminating at the road 

 to Wolsingham, Middleton, &c., and actu- 

 ally on the great trap dyke which traverses 

 the island, and from which an inexhaustible 

 store of the best materials for the construc- 

 tion of roads may be sent down the line. 



LANCASHIRE. _ The second annual 

 meeting of the Preston Institution has been 

 recently held. The number of members is 

 from 5 to 600. The number who actually 

 paid last year was 551. The library con- 

 tains 1,700 volumes. Various classes are 

 formed, and forming, for the study of useful 

 subjects. They have also a museum con- 

 taining nearly 1000 specimens in natural 

 history, &c. The success of this institution 

 is attributable to the lowness of the charge, 

 being only 6s. 6d. a year. 



The revolution in business which the 

 Manchester and Liverpool railway is pro- 

 ducing exceeds any anticipation ever formed 

 respecting it. Last week a Gentleman, who 

 had transacted a forenoon's business in 

 Liverpool, was seen at Dr. Raffles' chapel 

 in the evening, and it was well known that 



he had been busily engaged in Manchester 

 for full two hours in the interim Liver- 

 pool Mercury We have heard this week 

 of a gentleman who went to Liverpool, 

 transacted business there for half an hour, 

 and returned to Manchester to breakfast. 

 Ed. Guard. Passengers' account from 

 Friday, the 17th, to Saturday, the 25th 

 ultimo: The number was 6,104 passen- 

 gers, averaging 763 per day ; the money 

 received, 2,034. 11s., or about 254. per 

 day, (nearly 93,000. per year,) and the 

 numbers increase every day. The receipts 

 of the late music meeting at Liverpool 

 amount to 7,800, about 2,000 less than 

 at the last festival Oct. 14. The first an- 

 nual meeting of the Liverpool Agricultural 

 Society took place. Aware as we are of the 

 very great advantages which have been de- 

 rived (and which are evident in all our 

 markets) from the establishment of the 

 Liverpool Horticultural Society, we confess 

 ourselves highly gratified at witnessing the 

 establishment of an Agricultural Society ; 

 we feel perfectly convinced that its good 

 effects will soon be visible in our labourers' 

 cottages, in our butchers' stalls, and in our 

 larders. We hail, therefore, the commence- 

 ment of this co-operation in creating motives 

 to action, and this stimulus to competition 

 in excellence of production ; for we shall all 

 be gainers by it, in the most personal and 

 most extended sense of the word, as men 

 and as countrymen. Liverpool Paper. 



YORKSHIRE It is our painful duty 

 this day (says the Hull paper) to record the 

 loss of 18 ships employed in the Davis's 

 Straits fishery, six of which belong to Hull. 

 We do not remember having ever witnessed 

 a more melancholy sight than that which 

 our streets this morning presented. Hun-
