NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 



The report of the Morpeth Savings' Banks an- 

 nual statement, 20th Nov. 1826, states the amount 

 reccived.at that period, at the sum 0^28,89123. Id. 



At the Durham Christmas quarter sessions, 

 there were upwards of thirty-three felons for trial, 

 exclusive of assault cases, which were numerous ; 

 a number unequalled in any similar occasion in 

 that county. 



A public meeting of the inhabitants of North 

 Berwick was held, on the 28th December, for the 

 purpose of establishing a subscription library, also 

 a debating society for the free discussion of every 

 subject, religion and politics exempted ; when re- 

 solutions were entered into, and unanimously car- 

 ried, and a committee formed for the aforesaid 

 purposes. 



The snow storm which visited Yorkshire, ex- 

 tended into Durham, and was accompanied by a

 Mrs. Isabella Elener. 



CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORLAND. 



Never in the memory of man were crimes so 

 abundant in the north of England as they now are 

 in the neighbourhood of Carlisle. " The state of 

 affairs is really most deplorable." Carlisle Journ. 



Unfortunately, robberies have been more pre- 

 valent in all other parts of the kingdom than for- 

 merly, and poaching has taken the lead. Query. 



Will the horrors of the last three months awaken 



the legislature to a due sense of the necessity of 

 altering the game laws, or will a project again be 

 brought forward, to be discussed in " desultory" 

 conversations, and to be got rid of on some night 

 of scanty attendance, and still more scanty atten- 

 tion, by a miserable majority of twenty or thirty 

 individuals? We have been told that the "giant 

 smuggler" of the coast must be put down, by the 

 only means of subduing him by a removal of the 

 temptation. But the poacher, the smuggler of 

 our villages, still remains unassailed, except by 

 force against force. 



Died.} At Maryport, in her 106th year, Mrs. 

 Sarah Harrison. 



YORKSHIRE AND CHESHIRE. 



The amount of the produce collected at York 

 for the distressed weavers, at the Bazaar, and at 

 the public ball, held for that purpose, amounted to 

 2,300! 



A meeting of land-owners, tenants, &c., has 

 been held at the New Town Hall, at Rotherham, 

 when several resolutions were passed, and the 

 following is one of them : " Resolved, that it is 

 highly expedient that petitions should be imme- 

 diately prepared to both houses of Parliament, 

 expressing the firm conviction of this meeting, 

 that a free trade in corn will be prejudicial to the 

 interests of the farmer, as well as of the com- 

 munity at large." A similar meeting has .been 

 held at Doncaster, and several reaolutiens passed, 

 and a petition prepared to the Legislature, in 

 which the petitioners " earnestly implore protec- 

 tion from any alteration that will afford the im- 

 porters of foreign cum any further privileges op 

 advantages." The merchants of Hull have joined 

 the agriculturalists of Holderness to petition Par- 

 liament. Their opinion is, that nothing short of a
