PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES, 



With all the Marrinrres and Deaths. 



NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 



IN consequence of many of the shnp- 

 . keepers in Sundcrl;md refusing to 

 tako plain shillings and sixpences, a very 

 serious riot lately took place. A large 

 body of the poorer inhabitants assembled, 

 and coninienced an attack on several shops, 

 the windows of which they demolished, 

 vhile another shop was completely gutted 

 of a large stock of hams, bacon, and gro- 

 ceries. 



In consequence of the butcher markets 

 Hot approximating to the low and ruinous 

 prices which the graziers are obliged to 

 take in the stock markets, many of the 

 considerable farmers in Northumberland 

 are beginning to slauirhter for their own 

 consumption; and several of the collieries 

 reuularly send to Moipeth market, and 

 purchase live stock, which is killed and 

 distributed among the population at a pro- 

 diginiis saving. 



An experiment was recently tried at 

 Dnrhani, to dry corn in tlie sheaf, by 

 means of a slove in the centre of a large 

 room, whicii had been placed there for 

 jnamitactnringpurposes. Tiie wheat, which 

 sit eisilit in the morning was in a wet state, 

 was at seven in the evening fit for the 

 miller. It is suguested to construct brick 

 flues round the inlerior of liarns, where, 

 by setting the sheaves upright, the farmer 

 may dry a considerable quantity "f coin 

 in twelve hours, and thus rescue his crops 

 from destruction. 



The salmon lislieries in the north never 

 produced more abundanily than during 

 the present suiunier. Tlie herring season 

 also promises to be iiniisiial'y successful. 

 Such an extraordinary qiianlily has been 

 caught off the north coast of Northumher- 

 lan<l, that they have been sold at ISer- 

 vick, Tweednioulh, &c, from Is, to Bt/.
