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.

DERBYSHIRE.

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,

MIDDLESEX.

Depreciation of Landed Property.— Forty acres of land in the parish of 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 conséquence 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. SOMERSETSHIRE.

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. Mariborough 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 unfortu nates, who, but a few years ago, were basking in the sunshine of affluence, have brought bither 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
