Provincial Occurrences. 
[Sept. I 
? 
1819, he visited France, where he found 
ample materials for the exercise of his taste, 
in the picturesque buildings of Paris, and 
still more interesting scenery of Normandy’; 
the drawings made from these sketches, 
which were exhibited at the Royal Aca¬ 
demy in 1820, as well as those of the pre¬ 
sent year, leave us to regret that this branch 
of art had not, at least, shared a greater 
portion of his earlier time. He was elect¬ 
ed an associate of the Royal Academy of 
Arts in November, 1820, and no better or 
more grateful tribute could be paid, either 
to his talents as an artist or his worth as a 
man, than the feeling and appropriate eu- 
logy pronounced to his memory by the 
president, at the annual academy dinner, 
which took place immediately after his 
death.

PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES, 
With all the Marriages and Deaths. 
NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
HE Durham Advertiser reports it 
as a measure absolutely necessary, to 
check the encroachments of the sea at Sun¬ 
derland, which has made great inroads in 
the last 20 years. In a few years more, 
unless prevented, the houses at the southern 
extremity of the town, will be undermined.

of Sunderland moor, represented as a public 
nuisance, and which might be rendered a 
delightful promenade. 
The Durham Chronicle asserts, that at 
the commencement and middle of the pro¬ 
ceedings against the Queen, Earl Grey

ment, on condition that he would carry on

him to consent to the sacrifice of an unpro¬ 
tected female.
