When the cavalcade case within the precincts of the town, ox roasted whole in the Market-place was cut up and distributed amongst the woollier, sac companied by hogsheads of old tie, &c. Oa the procession entering 11w Castle gateway, the sound of the numerous horsetra' hoofs brought strongly to recollection the story of ancient hosts on the same spot. in the dilation, days of the renowned Hotspur, and on many other warlike occasions,. On alit/ming from their carriage. the most condescending atten tion was paid by the illustrious pair, and the most marked thanks conveyed in an affable. yet digni fied manner, highly evincing the polished civility of the illustrious race of Percy, and the Noble House to which it is now tilted. Goblet. of wine, bruit- NWT.. were liberally handed to each itithetdual; the field-pieces were fired, the bells rtiug, and universal satisfaction ',treaded the town, which oveoliroolged to excess-..retry window being crowded witlaspee. tabor. On an eminence wt Inn the Castle-court a numerous train of young felualee, with their matron at their head, pros Istrd themselves, end produced e flue effect; they are clothed and educated at the expense of the d Duchess Dowager. His G owes coesini•siouers and the re.vectire Comiliffs of his mourn* took the company to the, priated far than, where they sat down to elegant chimers. and concluded the day no hospitable Cllll.. eiviality.

Hie Grace particularly inspected the Mar ket-place, new warehouses, viol laid. mud works in the neighbourhood ; he paid marked attention to the !Loyal Jubilee School, exam 11l il ig several of the set. o l 6l s himself, and expressed great satisfaction at their plogreos, declaring he had not limited any place where tuition and regularity were more attended to. Hie Grace munificently directed his annual subscription to be increased from five to tins guineas. On a respectful solicitation, her Grace, lirving inspected the School of Indus. try for girls, coudescesidingly accepted the office tot Lady Patroness. The Northumberland life bout was gut iii readiness, and pulled down and up the 'dream of the Tyne, before the Duke and Duchess, and thousand. aseemblrd. That after noon many of the Deputy Lieutenants of this county, and Geostleusen in the Commission of the Peace. dined with the noble party at the Govern ment-house. Wednesday morning early the Duchess, accompanied by Lady E. Percy, repaired to a marquee, pitched by her desire, aid took a sketch of the line ruins of the Priory. Her Grace also took other sketches, our from the second story of the Goventmesit-house. The ships in the her- bout were decked with colours duriug the visit, the bells rung at iutervids, tire colours ou the church tower and other eminences waved from sunrise to sunset, and the guns thundered for, two days. Oar takiug their departure for Alowick Castle, on Wednesday, the Spanish Fort fired gi guns.— Ptovisions, &c. uf the beat quality, were prepared by Mrs. Spurrier, of the Bath loth Tyneanuuth, which gave guest satisfactiou; iudeed the whole scene was ',leasing and joyous in the extreme.

The Earl of L01110E1.16 Lord LOWTHER, Colonel LOWTHER, and Lord l'or.uncTon, honoured the meeting with their presence. 'through the unavoidable absence of Colonel BRADDYI.L, who lied been appointed to preside upon this occasion, Lord POLLINOTON we. called to the Chair. The bull-room► in the evening wee well filled. and afforded a fascinating display of elegance and braoty. Mr. DUNC•N M•NAN. at Locl►ardside, Aber foyle, boo now its Ins poseession a sword about four fret long, and a strong scabbard, which were found about the beginning of last month in a cove on the south side of the loch. They appear to be of con siderable antiquity, and are of very curious work utauship. In all likelihood they have lain there since tl►e year 174.5. This cave was never before heard of by any of the oldest inhabitants. THE DANDIASI TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. I am much astonished, that you, Mr. Editor, who, in general, pay the utmost attention to every thing connected with the Beau blonde. have not, long ere this, indulged your readers with some account of the " Society of Dandies." As a Member of that hourly-inereasing, and highly-re spectable body, I have been able to procure n copy of their rules and regulations, which I hope you will have the good taste immediately to lay before the puhlic. I remain, with doe consideration, yenta, JACK•A•DAttDir. Starsokeres-kall, Sept. 2. As many errors have gone abroad, relative to the source from which " The Dandies" derive their distinguishing appellation, the Society have thought it necessary to put no end to them, by an explicit declaration on that point. It is not true, that we are denomicated Dandies, with reference to Dan Spare-rib and his sister !h, two of our earliest supporters. The custom of naming particular hooks and societies, by joining together the initial letters, or syllables, of their component parts, hits long been ex ploded, and the Dandies are enemies to every thing ancient. b is equally false that we are called Dandies, Iran the French word Oa Nina, a foolish fellow— our wisdom being proverbial. We live sold, by oar wits. Can ne then he foolish fellows? In truth, we are better financiers than the present Chancelh.r of eh.. Exel.etiaer— u We ramble the City al; mond, And constantly live at ~ o r case, When our cask sit almost run aground, We've recourse to oar means and our rarer' It is (pi's , an error to s..eit, tout our title is de rived f the word dondi. the gerund of the verb do, to eve. Some ititlividu la, whit evidently knew nothing of the Society, hove imagined that we were chatilably inclined, and that ut reference to our " love of giving," we selected the word " dandi." This iciest,' completely at variance with the fact; for we make it a special rule to give nothing (ex cept bills), but to take all we can get—a truth which our tradesmen will fully substantiate. The title of the Society is really derived—from Dans—giving or Dy•opepoia--tfilEciilly of digestion occasioning— ny-splionta—rbßieully of waking—and and Privates—difficulty of breathing; these three effects, viz. difficulty of digestion, of speaking. and of breathing, being canoed by the si g hs stays. which the Members of the Society are obliged to wear. Having explained this important fact—we now come 10.... THE MILES AND REGULATIONS OF THE. SOCIETY. Resolved—That Gentlemen, between the ages of 12 and 24, may be proposed es fit persons to become Members of the Dandy Society. That Ladies, who have the courage to surmount vulgar prejudices, and dare appear in the Dandy uniform, via, lung military great coat, ►hort waist coat, trowsers, and boots, rusty also be proposed.

That • gene►al weighing-watch shall take place once a quarter—and that those Members', male and female, who have grown too large for tl►e Society, be expelled—a proper report being made of their grommets. That, on being swea►ed down, or otherwise brought to the proper size, the Metuberv, so expelled, be eligible for re-admission. That, on the *disunion of a new Member, the Dandies present shall sing, iuchorus, the following stanza— " When I was a boy, and a tiny little boy, With my ringlets hanging down so sandy 0!

That any Member, whose won't, when drawn into the narrowest compass, exceeds twelve inches its circumference, he forthwith expelled. Thut each new Member shall treat the Society to a Dawdelionsallail, to he accompanied by plenty of asses' milk, weak whey, and barley-water. That the ancient, but useless and extravagant custom pf wearing shirts lw discountenanced by the Members of the Society.

That no Dandy lie allowed to cirry so turitirla or parasol. This rule has been found porticohnly necessary, since Sane Spectre, George Ghost, mud Harry Skeleton, were wirset by a puff of wind, in crossing Waterloo-bridge—sod, being nimble to rise, in constivence of the tightness of their roll loy us the middle of the road, torn one till four o'clock in the *nu 11l i o ig, when the Whiten came to their assistance. Ghost's health was so much impaired, that he seam visited the other world —and it is ferret' that Spectre will speedily follow him. Skeleton's bones fortunately re►isted the weather.

Half-Moon -street, Piccadilly. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. This annual city festival of noise and confusion Ingan yesterday with all its usual gaudy splendour. It is customary, antecedent to the commencement of this fair, fur th e s ame t o b e p roc l a i me d b y th e Loral Mayor. About eleven o'clock, his Lordship in his state coach, attended by the Sheriffs in their carriages. the City-Marshalmen oil horseback, and a posse of constables on foot, proceeded in grand procession from the Mansion-House to Cloth-fair, where the proclamation V/4111 rend in due form. A. soon as his Lordship departed, the frolics of the carnival com menced. The whole Thulium corps prepared themselves for fun and revelry ; bands of music played several harmonious tunes in one direction, while the more delicate, in another, were strain ing their lungs with blowing and talking through horns and trumpets, assisted at intervals by the melodious and sweet roarings of the wild-beasts. Mau,' very judicious alterations have been adopt ed respecting the formation of the shove fair. The whole of the theatrical department is so ar ranged as to form a complete circle in the middle. Mr. Richardson occupies, as usual, an elegant and spacious hooth, c !flooding two fronts, oue facing Golispur-street, the other the main avenue of the fair : it is fitted up with great magnifi cence. His company is composed of performers of first-rate talent and genius, a specimen of their abilities was presented to the assembled crowd outside, and highly applauded. 'Young Saunders's grand equestrian troop also astonishes all be holders; the sagacity of the animals is wourterful ; their (hoeing we+ much admired by the populace. Mr. Gyagell's and Mr. Seowtan's pealormances were highly meritorious, and excited loud and oe netal marks or approb a tion. The dresses of th ese " companies w. re particularly splendid. The exhibitors of wild beasts exceed by far sissy thing of the kind before known—there are no t r .% than twenty lions to be seen. Messrs. Gillman and Atkine's menagerie consists of right lions, besides an extensive number of other animals. Mr. Polito occupies a large space for his exhibition; he has aboni twelve caravans full of beasts and other animal species. Th- front of this collection di.- played the word .‘ Polito," which was lighted up with variegated lamps, and extended the length of the erection. The letters were about ten feet in size. I'he whole had s grand and brilliant effect. There are several giantesses of immense size, and dwarfs, whose diminutive stature caused much merrimen►, and was h ghly attractive. The sleight of-hand folks and tumblers played off their tricks and deceptions very advantageously, to the ibtinite delight of some thousands or spectators. The oyster-stalls and sausage-parlours were de corated in grand st% le for !Jamey. In the latter we observed several ladies partaking tnost profusely of the delicious dainties of the season—real fine sues sages, black puddings, and roasted potatoes in abundance. I'he show-folks were more numerous than we ever remember on any former occasion, sod so com pletely placed, as to lrsve a wide opening fur the crowd to pass and repass without interruption. Another improvement has also been adopted, in removing the swings sod round-shouts to the pig market at the north end of the fair. These dun. gerous vehicles were kept in continual motion by the multitude. Sir MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY, Burt.
