NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 
T hasalreacy been stated thatthe principal ine 
habitants of Newcastle, previous to.the late 
jubilee, resolved to subscribe toward the esta- 
blishment of a school for the instruction of 
poor children, instead of illuminating on that 
occasion. At a meeting of the subscribers 
held onthe 26th February, it was resolved 
that a building should be erected for the par- 
pose ; that the sys:em of Dr. Bel] and Mr. 
Lancaster should be adopted for the instruc- 
tion of children in reading, writing, and the 
rudiments of arithmetic ; and that the intends 
ed building shall also be used on the lord’s 
day asa place of public worship, agreeably to 
the usage of the church of England, for the 
benefit of the chilcren belonging to the said 
church, of the parents of such children, and 
of such other poor persons as may chuse to 
resort thereto. This latter resolution has 
given umbrage to several liberal and phi. 
Janthropic contributors, of different reli- 
gious persons’ persuasions, and threatens, 
unless conciliatory measures be adopted, to 
subvert that cordial unanimity which at 
first seemed to inspire all parties. 
The workmen, in digging the foundation 
for the county court, in the castle Garth, New- 
castle, have found a Roman spur, which, by 
the antiguarians, wil] no doubt be considered 
asa valuable relique.
