PROVINCIAL OCCURRENCES.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE.

The town of Linton lately presented a scene of the utmost confusion, in consequence of a notice having been given that the wages of the labourers were to be reduced one shilling per week, a large body of whom, consisting of some hundreds, assembled by five o'clock in the morning, in a riotous and tumultuous manner, and expressed their determination to strike, unless their wages were continued at the old stand

ard. They paraded the whole parish, preventing any business being done, unless at the old wages; but, on a threat of being sent to prison, they dispersed. Most of these misguided men have returned to their work, and the parish is restored to tranquillity.

open from Portsmouth to the city of Chichester, and but five hundred and fifty yards, consisting of excavation and embankments, remain to be completed in the main line of canal in Sussex, in order to effect the long desired object, that of barges passing by inland navigation from London to Portsmouth.

KENT.

An order has arrived at Chatham of any more men from the naval yard; Dock-yard, to stop the further discharge it is the intention of the Government, that the men shall continue working for five days in the week, and the same hours as usual, which will obviate the intention of a further discharge. There lately accidentally met together, at the Castle Inn, Canterbury, eight persons, who, from their relative con nexion with each other, form the following curious fact in consanguinity; There were four sisters, five daughters, one grandmother, one grandfather, brother-in-law, three sisters-in-law, one three aunts, one grand-daughter, one son-in-law, two mothers, one father, one neice to three aunts, one uncle, two wives, and two husbands.

LANCASHIRE.

Notice has been given by the Manchester and Preston bankers, that from and after the 29th of September next, the rate of interest charged on discounts, and charged and allowed on current accounts, will be 4 per cent. per annum, instead of 5 per cent. as heretofore.- -With the view of carrying into effect the railway between Manchester and Liverpool, notice has been given of an application to Parliament next Session, for an Act with the requisite powers. It is also intended to have a rail road from Newton to Bolton, thereby connecting the communication with that town and Liverpool and Manchester, as the direct rail-road between these two places will pass through Newton. A notice for an Act for this purpose has also been given.The Common Council of Liverpool has voted the freedom of the Borough, to the sons of the Right Hon. Geo. Canning, and General Gascoyne.

-The assessment on houses, &c. in Liverpool, returned to the Sélect Vestry, is stated for 1822, houses and warehouses at 23,600; in 1820, 21,400; increase in two years, 1,600.

Depreciation of Landed Property.— Forty acres of land in the parish ofter he had chosen. Harmondsworth, which a few years since were let at 21. an acre, were recently re-let at 5s. an acre.

NORFOLK.

Notwithstanding the united efforts of the magistracy and the peace officers, and the severe examples made by the Courts of Justice on offenders, the dreadful practice of machine-breaking has been again resumed by the deluded populace in this county.- -A reward of 5001. is offered, for the discovery of the person or persons, who in the night of the 25th ult, set fire to a field barn, in the Wents, in the occupation of Mr. T. Pooly.

NORTHUMBERLAND.

A smart shock of an earthquake was distinctly felt at Dunston, near Newcastle, accompanied by a loud noise like distant thunder.. -The oil (9 tuns and 158 gallons), the produce of the whale which was taken a few weeks ago upon this coast, and the right to which had become an object of dispute between two great landowners, upon whose property it had been cast, was taken possession of in behalf of the Crown, by a special order from the Admiralty. -Newcastle and the neighbourhood, in consequence of the stoppage of the keelmen on the river, are filled with soldiers like towns beseiged.- Earl Grey has recently communicated to his numerous tenantry in Northumberland and North Durham, his intention to remit 20 per cent. of all his rents, from Martinmas, 1821.

On the 7th of October the Suffolk Bible Society held its eleventh Anniversary Meeting in the Guildhall, Bury. Lord Bristol in the chair. The Report of the proceedings for the year stated the satisfactory progress of the Society, and the great good it had effected. The Guildhall was not crowded, nor was the meeting attended, as far as we could see, by any of the resident clergy of the Established Church, and only by a very few from the neigh

bourhood.

The repairs and alterations at Claremont, since the departure of his Royal Highness the Prince Leopold, have been carried to a great extent. Most of the floors, with the exception of the state rooms, have been taken up and new ones laid down, owing to the dryrot having affected them to so great an extent. The principal part of the house, with the out-buildings, have been fresh painted, and the staterooms have received great addition of splendour. The servants have been on board wages the whole of the time, not one being dismissed owing to his Royal Highness's absence. Marlborough House has likewise been greatly improved. His Royal Highness is soon expected in this country.

SUSSEX.

On the Brighton road, not far from Reigate, is a notice on a large board of a farm to let "rent-free." At the election of a Mayor for the town of Arundel, the Leet Jury returned Mr.

Watkins and Mr. Parker to the Court. Each of these gentlemen were put in nomination, when a great shew of hands proclaimed the choice of the burgesses to be in favour of Mr. Watkins. No poll being demanded, he was declared unanimously elected.The migrations from the villages in the weal of Sussex to Brighton, this Michaelmas, have been incrediably numerous. Some villages are said to have been almost deserted. This is a lamentable proof of the agricultural misery and distress. Many unfortunates, who, but a few years ago, were basking in the sunshine of affluence, have brought hither their last 501. perhaps 201., with the view of making an effort in some little way of business, to save themselves and families from pauperism, to which many, alas, too many! of their more wealthy neighbours have been already compelled to

submit. It is calculated that not less than 200 famillies of the above description have taken up their residence here since New Michaelmas-day.

WILTSHIRE.

Mr. Farquhar, the wealthy East Indian, has recently purchased Fonthill Abbey, together with all its appendages, for between three and four hundred thousand pounds. The timber on the estate is estimated at 100,0001; the building has not cost so little as 400,0001.; and since the present possessor came of age, he has laid out at least a million sterling in beautifying and embellishing this most splendid domain. Nearly 15,000 guineas are said to have actually been received for tickets of admission to the grounds and Abbey of Fonthill.- The remains of a Roman villa, with a beautifully tessilated pavenient, have recently been discovered between Farley Castle and Iford. Indeed the existence of the remains have been known for a considerable time by persons in the neighbourhood. Several small coins have been found, bearing the name of "Tetricus," together with some other curiosities, which are now in the possession of the Rev. Mr. Richardson, rector of Farley.

Jones, Denbigh; and that for the best Essay, was awarded to Rev. J, Hughes, Brecon. The successful candidates were invested with the Bardic insignia by Mr. Edward Williams, the venerable bard of Glamorgan. The attendance was both numerous and splendid.

SCOTLAND.

A remarkably fine and very valu able marble bust of the late James Watt, Esq. has been presented to the Magistrates of Greenock, by his son, the present Mr. Watt, of Soho, as an expression of his respect for the birthplace of his illustrious parent. It is fresh from the chissel of Mr. Chantry.

For the first time, these sixty years there is a division in the corporation of Glasgow, respecting the choice of a chief magistrate for the en. suing year. In the Lothians they

In every corner they are seen lying in loads-heaps and selling at prices which, some years ago, would scarcely have defrayed the expence of carriage from the place of growth to the market.

IRELAND.

As the winter approaches, and the long nights begin, the outrages of the Irish peasantry recommence. Ransacking houses for arms, setting fire to stacks, particularly to collections of tithe produce, and the murders which frequently result from those acts of violence, are coming into full activity again. The subject announced by Dublin Trinity College, for the ViceChancellor's Prizes, at the ensuing commencement is:" British Generosity to Irish Distress."- -Lord Clanbrock, in the neighbourhood of Shanagolden, viewed each tenant's farm; to some he forgave large arrears, and reduced the rent to what it had been thirty years ago; to others he gave a second reduction of a fifth, forgiving arrears also.
