Propose to Change Name of Hull, to oy London, Jan, 10.--The ancient and flourishing port of Hull, on the east coast of England, is considering a proposal to change the name. Iu many foreigh registers the name is recorded as' Kingston-Upon-Hull. At a meeting at which the gues- tion was being discussed, the Lord Mayor cited an instance of a letter addressed to Hull from China, being sent to Hull, Quebec. He suggested changing the name to Kingston. The president of the Chamber of Commerce expressed the view 'that from a trade standpoint all the ad- vantage lay with the shorter mame. Another member of the Chamber of Commerce referred to the Cana-| dian Hull, and said a visit which be had made there had shown him that it was known as a very wet place, No reference, however, was made to the well-known old saying that the three places which should be avoided were Hell, Hull and Halifax, whicHf it is believed had its origin in the severity of the Yorkshire magis- trates in old times.
