MONTHLY PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES. 
NORTHUMBERLAND.—The number of poor 
pitmen who have been destroyed by the foul state 
of the collieries is truly appalling. The following 
is a full and accurate account, from 1805 to the 
last explosion. We trust this subject will be now 
properly investigated, as the legislature is at pre- 
sent occupiedon the coal trade, and thatintelligence 
_and science will be employed to produce some im- 
_ provement, and to explode the ordinary excesses 
of i ignorance and indolence, in attempting such an 
ee amelioration.—Oct, 2, 1805, at Hebburn, 35 ; May

DURHAM.—When proclamation was made for 
the fair at Sunderland, the name of the Lord Bi- 
shop of Durham was not mentioned, as was for- 
merly the case. The fair is known to be held 
by authority of the Bishop, and, therefore, the 
servants of the Commissioners, instead of only 
saying, “ God save the King and the Commission- 
ers under the Sunderland Improvement Act,” as 
they do now at the close of their proclamation, 
ought to say, as they did in former years, “ God 
saye the King, my Lord of Durham, and the 
Commissioners under the Sunderland Improve-

magnitude. The calendar contained the names
