The Newcastle Exhibition of Paintings was 
opened June 1], at the new building ; the number 
of paintings is much greater than in any former 
display at that town, and, from the general view 
of them, the splendour and ability of the collection 
has never been equalled there. 
On the 29th of May, the custom of the cho- 
risters singing anthems from the summit of the 
principal tower in the cathedral was revived. 
The custom first arose from the monks having 
sung Te Deum from that elevated situation, as 
soon as victory was declared at the battle of 
Neyile’s Cross, in 1346. It was subsequently con- 
tinued in honour of the Restoration, but of late 
years had been disused. 
It has been estimated, by geological writers 
and coal viewers, that, at the present rate of con- 
sumption, the seam of coal now worked in Nor- 
thumberland and Durham coal-field, will not be 
expended, at the lowest calculation, within 500 
years. 
On the 24th of May, Mr. Fenwick, of Brink- 
heugh, near Weldon-bridge, nine or ten miles from 
Morpeth, deliberately shot bis son, a young man

The young man died shortly afterwards. We 
hear that Mr. Fenwicke has been taken. 
On the lst of June, the Ardincaple steam-ves~ 
sel, arrived at Newcastle from Edinburgh in 
twelve hours and a half, an instance of wonderful 
expedition. 
As the dredging machine, which is used by the 
Commissioners of the River Wear for cleansing 
the river, was at work near the bridge, Durham, 
on the 7th of June, it brought up the body of a 
sailor boy without a head. The body has been 
recognized as that of a boy who fell from out 
ofa boat, and was drowned, about four months 
since. He was one of the crew of a vessel be- 
longing to Little Hampton. His body was injured 
in several places, supposed to be by the keelmens’ 
sets, used in working their keels,

YORKSHIRE. 
On Saturday, the 24th of May, between three 
and four o’clock in the afternoon, a whirlwind 
passed for a considerable way up thecourse of the 
yiver wharf, to the northward of Bolton-abbey 
and in tite immediate vicinity of Bolton-park. Ta 
its progress, some trees were torn up by the roots, 
and huge branches were wrenched from others, 
and whirled in the ait like so many feathers, te 
an incredible distance. The waving of the tem- 
pest, and the crashing of the trees, were inde- 
scribably awful. ;

stern, 13 feet 3 inches ; width, 5 feet Zinches. If

that clerks or apprentices, under 21, be admitted 
to the meetings and lectures, on payment of two 
guineas annually, without entrance. 
The form of the building erecting for a museum 
at Scarborough is that of a rotunda, after a Gre- 
cian model, designed by Mr. Sharpe, of York. 
The stone is of a quality unrivalled in this king- 
dom for beauty, and exceeded only by marble. It 
is the same as that of the new church at Scar- 
borough, and the York Museum, being obtained 
from the quarry at Hackness. The situation is 
delightful, and commands a view of the sea, the 
harbour, the bridge, Oliver’s Mount, and’ the Hull 
road. ,
