NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
SORT of public library has been lately 
opened at Bamborough cattle, by the direc- 
A 
tion of the truftees for managing the eftates of 
the late lord Crewe. The libr ary is chiefly a 
donation from the late rev. f. Sharp, grandfon 
of the archhifhop of York of that name, and 
¢ontains the moft valuable parts of the library 
of that prelate (being a eomprehenfive collec- 
- tion of books in all branches of literature, par- 
ticularly theology, ecclefiaftical hiftory, English 
hiftory, the beft editions of claffics, political 
‘pamphiets, &c.) with the addition offome other 
colleMtions. It appears, that the charitable in- 
ftitutions, which now flourifh at Pamborough 
gaitle, have received much of their progr’ flive 
improvement fiom the Dr. J. Sharp, firft-men- 
tioned, who not only raifed the great tower 
~ from a ftate of rvins, and converted it into a 
commodious manfion for himfelf’ and his fuc- 
ceffors, but provided that it might never want 
fufficient funds for future reparation. From 
1758 to his death, he expended confiderable 
iums, for the be erent of thefe charities, with 
little affiftance from the truftees. © The library 
is ooee to the public one day in every week. 
The fum of 78]. 15s. has been lately remit- 
ted to Berwick anc: by the bifhcp of Durham, 
the dean and chapter of d fe and the truftees of 
‘Jord Crew’s chari ity, ast 
geapeons (in fhares of 20]. 158. each) for the 
relief of the French ecclefiaftics. 
' Alkaline falts, viz. different forts of chryf- 
tals, barilla falts, pearl afhes, &c, of the ma- 
nufacture of Lord DUNDONALD, are now pre- 
paring for fale, in large quantities, at the works 
eftablifhed near Newcaftle: It appears, from a 
letter, publifhed in the Newcaftle papers, by 
Mr. W. Hind, druggift and chymift, or New- 
caftle, and a number of other letters and certi- 
fizates from eminent manufacturers, thar the 
fale of the above articles is alieady eftablifhed 
in that town and neighbourhood, and rapidly en- 
creafing ; upwards of 3000 perfons having been 
fupplied with them in the courfe of -a few 
weeks) that the faving of foap for domeftic 
pupofes, turns out to be confiderably more 
than what has been ftated in the printed no- 
“ices ; that the ufe of the falts wiil, in all pro- 
bability, become generally adopted; and that, 
on the whole, the procefs of lord Dundonald 
is one of the moft important difcoveries ever 
made in this country.
