MONTHLY PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES. 



NORTHUMBERLAND. The Newcastle Sav- 

 ings' Bank have published their account up to 

 November 20th, last, by which it appears that 

 upwards of .264,000 have been received, from 

 4,006 depositors, eight charitable institutions, and 

 88 friendly societies. 



DURHAM. At a meeting of proprietors and 

 occupiers of land, and other Inhabitants of Nor- 

 ham and Island shires, held at Berwick, it was 

 resolved, in consequence of the great and general 

 distress existing amongst the industrions poor 

 and labouring classes, to petition Parliament for 

 a total repeal of the duties upon malt and beer. 



The foreman of the Grand Jury at the late 

 Sessions at Durham, informed the Chairman, 

 that he was desired by his fellow jurymen, to 

 complain of the multitude of trivial cases which 

 were brought before the court ; he was quite 

 certain that many of the indictments would nol 

 have been preferred if the expenses had not been 

 paid for by the county. Another cause of com- 

 plaint was tbe number of indictments manufac- 

 tured out of one offence ; and he was desired to 

 request the magistrates to be economical, as, in the 

 present depressed state of the agricultural interest, 

 the county rates were so very oppressive. 



The coast of Durham was visited with a violent 

 storm from the N. and N.N.E., on the 9th of Jan. , 

 a part of the wall of Clifford's Fort, at North 

 Shields, was broken down by the irresistible 

 force of the sea. Hartlepool pier, was also much 

 damaged. In another gale on the 20th, much 

 damage was done to the shipping. 



CUMBERLAND. The report of the committee 

 appointed to ascertain the state of the poor, in 

 Carlisle, presents an appalling picture of misery 

 and want. Upwards of 1,000 families were found 

 to be in distress, comprising at least 5,000 indi. 

 viduals! The want of food, fuel, and clothing, 

 was general. With many families there was no- 

 thing deserving the name of bed or bedding ; but 

 they slept on chairs, or the floor, and covered 



themselves with what they could! --The various 

 interests of this important county are at length 

 roused by the pressure of distress to speak out, 

 and call for relief. A requisition is in course of 

 signature to the High Sheriff, to call a county 

 meeting.* 



A meeting has been held at Wigton, to carry 

 into effect the establishment of an infirmary for 

 that county, when a piece of ground on the west 

 side of the city of Carlisle, was decided on as the 

 situation for the infirmary, and the committee was 

 empowered to purchase the same. The dona- 

 tions for the building amounted to nearly .8,000. 

 A similar institution is about being founded at 

 Whitehaven, in the same county. 



YORKSHIRE. Earl Mulgrave's alum manu- 

 factory, situate under the cliff at Kittleness, near 

 Whitby, with the agent's house, and 14 cottages, 

 were reduced to ruins recently by the falling of an 

 impending rock. A cracking before the fall, gave 

 timely notice to the workmen to escape. 



At the General Annual Meeting of the Society 

 of Shipowners, held in the Mansion House, Hull, 

 Jan. 13, it was resolved," that this Meeting con- 

 templates with deep regret, the present condition, 

 and with melancholy forebodings the future pros- 

 pects, of the Shipping Interest of the United 

 Kingdom, as well as every other upon which it is 



* The design originated, we believe, with the 

 agricultural and shipping interest. The Earl of 

 Lonsdale, as Lord Lieutenant of the county, was 

 first consulted ; and, in a letter, addressed through 

 his steward, to the gentlemen who took an active 

 part in the matter, his Lordship expressed his 

 hearty concurrence, but recommended them not to 

 insist on any particular legislative measures, but 

 to urge on the attention of Parliament the preva- 

 lence of great distress, and petition for such 

 remedies as the legislature may think best. His 

 Lordship observed that the Duke of Wellington 

 was not convinced that there was great distress in 

 the country, and, therefore, it was expedient to 

 press this fact firmly but respectfully. Leeds
