_Penrith._--The curfew bell continues to be rung at Penrith, in
Cumberland, at eight o'clock in the evening, and is the signal for
closing shops, &c.
_Newcastle-upon-Tyne._--The curfew is still rung by all the churches of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne at eight in the evening; and its original use may be
said to be preserved to a considerable extent, for the greater bulk of
the shops make it a signal for closing.
