On Wednesday last, Mr. NORTHHOUSE, late Editor of the Carlisle Journal, was presented by the Provost of the ancient and Royal Burgh
of Annan, with the freedom of that Burgh, as a mark of the high sense in which his literary abilities are esteemed; and also, on
account of his useful exertions in promoting the cattle market there.—So says the Dumfries Journal. The Dumfries Courier tells us
that the presentation was designed "as a mark of his literary abilities and constitutional exertions." The world will be anxious to
learn which of these blasts of Fame's trumpet proclaims the true cause of so distinguished an honour as the freedom of the Borough
of Annan, and the approbation of its Provost and Magistrates. 

 

Committed to Kendal House of Correction till the Sessions, John DIXON, for enlisting into the 55th Regiment, he belonging to the
Cumberland militia. 

 

Mr. George HODGSON, of Appleby, lately killed two of the finest calves ever seen in that market. They were bred by Mr. Thomas

The Ulverstone Yeomanry Cavalry have presented Captain BRADDYLL a very handsome silver vase, "in testimony of their sincere regard
for their commanding officer." 

 

It appears that Mr. DE CAMP, who rented the Theatre at Preston during the late Guild, has been, like many other persons, grievously
disappointed in his hopes of profit at that festival. The Theatre closed on Saturday week; and in the course of that day the
sheriff's officers seized the scenery and other effects for the rent due to the proprietors. After the play Mr. DE CAMP made his
appearance on the stage, and addressed the audience on the subject with a good deal of warmth. He stated that he had been induced,
by the representations of the proprietors as to the manner in which the theatre was likely to be attended, to accede to their terms,
viz. to pay £200 for the theatre during the guild; but instead of making any profit, he had lost £400 besides the rent. Yet under
these circumstances the proprietors had refused to allow him any time for payment, and had seized his property without giving him
previous notice. 

 

It will be recollected, that at the adjourned assizes in York, in September 1820, a number of persons from the neighbourhood of
Barnsley and Huddersfield, were induced, by an expectation of mercy, to plead guilty to the charge of high treason, and that some of
them were subsequently sentenced to 14 years transportation, and others to transportation for life. During the last week, all the
persons whose sentences were commuted to 14 years transportation, returned to their respective families and friends, to the
inexpressible joy of the parties, and each man received £3 4s. towards his travelling expences from Woolwich, with a certificate of
their having been pardoned on account of their uniform good conduct. The other prisoners who were transported for life were sent to
Van Dieman's Land, and such of their wives and families as chose to share their fortunes, have been removed there at the expense of
government. 

 

The Bishop of Durham has licensed the Rev. R. GREEN, A. M. of Newcastle, to the perpetual curacy of Whorlton, in the county of

The reported shock of an earthquake at Dunston, near Newcastle turns out to have been merely the rumbling of about 20 coal-waggons
