NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
A few weeks ago a floop arrived in the 
tiver Tyne, at Neweaftle, and was landed 
at the quay, for the firft time, loaded intirely 
with fizeable blocks of remarkably fine 
Broccarello marble, lately found at Affynt, 
a diftrict in the county of Sutherland, North 
Britain, and brought from thence, by fea, to 
Newcaftle. It appears, however, that feve- 
ral {mall blocks of this marble, but not fuf- 
ficient to load a veflel,were brought, laft year, 
to the fame port,; and that feveral beautiful 
chimney-pieces have been fince made out of 
that material. The above being a plain, 
incontrovertible faét, the circumftance will, 
it is hoped, not only prove advantageous to 
the indefatigable leffee of the quarries, and 
to the honvurablefproprietors, but, likewife, 
in the iflue, become highly beneficial to the 
mation at large. Pennant, in his tour 
through Scotland, thus defcribes Affynt :— 
*¢ This country is environed with moun- 
‘tains, and all the {trata near their bafe, and in 
the bottoms, are compofed of marble, fine 
as the Pariah. Houfes are built withit, and 
walls raifed. Burnt, it is the manure of thé 
country 3. but oftener nature diffolves, and 
prefents it ready prepared to the lazy farmer. 
This tract feems the refidence of floth--the 
‘ people almoft torpid with idlenefs, and moft 
wretched——their hovels moft miferable, made 
of poles wattled, and covered with thin 
rods ; yet there is much improveable land 
here in a ftate of nature,” &c. &c., 
The coal recently obtained from the new 
colliery at Kenton, in point of quality, is 
found to exceed the moft fanguine wifhes of 
the proprietors.
