Yesterday the Anniversary of his MaaEsTY's - Birth-day was celebrated at Windsor, by a public dinner in the Town-hall.— Charles Layton, Esq. the Mayor, presided on the occasion, sup ported on his right by. John Ranishottorn, Esq , one of the Members for the Borough • and on his left by the Rev. Mr. Gossett, Vicar of .Windsor. 7 There were also present several military °tigers, and the whole company consisted of about two hundred persons. At half-past five o'clock the business of regaling Commenced, and the dinner provided was excellent and abundant. •While the cloth was on the table, dispatch was the order of the day ; and as soon as it was removed,' the professional singers gaVe Non Nobis Domine in admirable style. The MAYO;t then rose to propose his Majesty's health, and addressed the company in these terms—" Gentlemen, we have assembled here this day to celebrate the' birth-day'or our be loved Sovereign. lam sure you are all equally convinced with me,_ that it is impossible fortis to testify our profound respect for his Majesty to a greater degree than the occasion calls foie I shall therefore propose 4 The King, and may his Majesty enjoy many happy returns of this day.' " The toast was drank with three times three, amidst loud and reiterated acclama tions. Air—" God save the King." The following toasts were next given, and received with Suit able demonstrations of loyalty and attachment to the House of Brunswick :—" The Duke . of York."—" The High-Steward of this Borough."—" Our illustrious neighbour, the Princess Augusta."—" The remaining 'brandies of the Royal;Family." The Mavon then proposed " Prosperity to the Town and Borough of New Windsor." After which followed " The Army and Navy," with three times three: Air-4 4. Rule Bri tannia." " The Right lion. George Canning and his Majes ty's Government," with three times three.. Air—" O'er the Water to Charlie," which was encored amidst loud enplause. The CHAU{ MAIi then rose and said, he had the pleasure to propose the health of his Hon. Friend on his right, and his worthy Colleague, the Members for the Borough. The toast was most cordially received, and drank with three times three. Mr. RAMSBOT TOM, in expressing his acknowledgments for the honour - clone him, said he had only to regret the absence of his Hon. Colleague ; but he had that day received a letter from Mr. Desborough, informing him that he had been call ed into Derbyshire by business, which admitted not 'of delay, and he had therefore availed himself of the present, recess, of Parliament to dispatch it. But however they might regret the unavoidable absence of some individuals, still they must fill high the cup of joy when they recollected that this was the se cond time that a Prince of the illustrious House of Brunswick had made Windsor his favourite residence.--(Loud cheers.)_ While they recollected with grateful pleasure the domestic vir tues of their late revered SoVereign,' they could not forget, judging fi:om the experience they had during the Regency, and the events that had since occurred, that the reign of his present Majesty was graced with some of the most brilliant exploits that could be found in the annals of British history.(CheerS.) In wishing to his Majesty a long and happy reign, helium now repeat his thanks for the very favourable reception which the toast had met with from so respectable a company ; and should any occasion require of him to return into their hands the trust they had reposed in him, he could only say that lie would be again prepared to come forward is the full hope of meeting their appropation.—(Applause.)—Mr. Ramsbottom then, in proposing the health bf the worthy Chairman, took occasion to pay a due tribute to the general character of that Gentleman, both in his public and private capacity. The MAY oft said he wanted words to express the grateful sense he entertained of, the honour done him. During the time he had been in office, his object always was to admiai-. ster strict, impartial justice. As Chairman of the Com pany, he could not help feeling honoured by the loyal and af fectionate demonstrations which had been so ardently displayed towards our august Monarch; and if, at the end of his Mayoralty, he should be found to have discharged his duty, he then would have attained the utmost height of his ambition._ (Applause). Some other toasts were then given, in the regular order, and the company prolonged the festive scene to a late hour. FASHIONABLE PARTIES. The Dowager Countess Poullet gave a magnificent entertain ment to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, on Thursday last, which was attended by all the distinguished fashionables in town.

CELEBRATION OF THE DUKE OF NORTHUM BERLAND'S BIRTH-DAY. {Specially reported for THE Sulr.] Though particular minds may vary in the estimate of fame, generally speaking, there is nothing which the world sets a higher value upon ; and with great justice, when th a t f ame i s f oun d e d upon the practice of virtue and benevolence. Under such cir cumstances it is vested with a hallowedness which endears it to our best affections, and renders it worthy of the very highest encomium. • That the present Duke of Northumberland is a nobleman who affords a splendid example of hereditary honours is well known throughout the British empire. There are none, in fact, acquainted with this Prince's good and amiable quali ties, but who are ready to admit that his rank—high as it is—is exalted by his truly noble conduct. Ever animated with a ge nerous regard for the public prosperity —more especially that of Northumberland—his pleasure and delight is in exercising the noblest power, that of doing good, in such a way as is best cal culated to difilise the greatest quantum of happiness Whate'er he does— where'er his steps lie bends, " Grace on each action silently attends." The writer of this article, who is truly sensible of the merits of the head of the noble house of PERCY, denies that he is in volved in the language of adulation. He is propelled solely by the love of truth, to make this short preface before he details the ulterior proceedings of this interesting day (the anniversary of his Grace's birth), most properly set apart, as it has been for the last 19 years, to the enjoyment of pleasure and convi viality. The Assembly-rooms in Newcastle-upon-Tyne was fixed up on by the Stewards, as the place where the friends and well wishers to the family of Northumberland should this year corn-, memorate the return of the birth-day of its distinguished Head, by a splendid dinner. Accordingly, at 5 o'clock, on Tuesday last, between 50 and 60 Gentlemen, comprising several of the most respectable Freeholders of the county, and Gentlemen of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, sat down to an entertainment that was served up in excellent taste, by Miss Brodie, the keeper of the Rooms. The Chair was ably tilled by Mr. Alderman Cookson, on whose right hand was seated the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Newcastle (William Wright, Esq.), and on his left hand, Sir Thomas Burdon. The duties of the two Vice-chairs were ably sustained by William Linskill, of Tyriertiouth Lodge, Esq. and Dixon Brown, of Long, Bentan, Esq. The ex cellencyof the wines, which had b een spepiallyselected by an ef ficient committee of management, gave unmixed satisfaction. Indeed, all the arrangements-aincl u din g the fine militaryhand in the ante-roem-'-were well calculated to add.a zest to the in. teresting occurrences of the day.. After the cloth was . with drawn, the worthy President gave " The King," which was drank with three times three; .and perfect enthusiasm. The next toast the Chairman introduced as follows : Messrs. Vice Presidents,-aln proposing the toast most nearly. connected with the purpose of our assembling—" The Health . of His Grace the Duke of Northumberland"—l have to regret that Ido not possess the power of expressing, so appropriately as I could wish, the sentiments Which I am convinced we all feel. At the same time, Gentlemen,' I ani quite- sure, that the character and virtues of his - Grace are so well known, increased or additional lustre front any declamation that all that - they eoald receive ne and so sensibly felt ley us, could be applied:to them.• I no' pronouncing the name of the Duke l of u a l n i d ab , lei pronounce the •name of a Noble-. man as e xNcelloret n blood is ancient—whose.. ben evo l ence is as active and extensive as his means (fortunately -or-this s country !) are great. In a intai'nbde Number a l meeting like the present, f ront which all, party and political feel ings are banished, I speak of his Grace (as I am coatident he would wish in bespoken of) as a NohleManin private life :a—As such he Is an ornament to the hereditary ariatoerety of the king dom ; and I may state hin t emphatically to be that which cam iireaerle rpore estimable than all—and constitutes the highest character of all, A . Gcod Man I propose then, Gen tlemen, " The Health of his Grace•the Duke of Northumber land," in a bumper, and with three times three. The toast was drank with the. loudest applause, and amid cheering that continued sohe time.a As moan as :silence was obtained, Sir David William Smith,. Bart. r d dh' - elf to the lose ar, , expresse inise following effect : Mr." President and Gentleia en —I -rise respectfully to make my sincerest acknowledgment s ,f o r the honour juSt - row done to the Duke of Northumberland; and l ean,.with great truth, as sure the company, that !la thingr.hisGrace's, heart than to cherish - those sentiments of friendSiiip And.cortilini which now so happily subsist between the two neighbouring Counties. I may further take leave to adtlethat ClepaAlaest effbrts to promote the prosperity, Wealth - and happen ess,„of Ole north country, may at all time with certain tybe reckoned upon.—(Applatise.)—The neat. toast in succession ; was The -, ,Dtike of York and the ' Army." The Presiderit•then requested particular bumper,: which he was sure would be drank with heartfelt satisfaction— " fler Grace the Duchess of Narrhunibethvad"—drank with three dines three. AVilliatneLinskille Esq. then rose and gave " The Mayor and Corporation of Newcaatle,'.' which he beg ged might be honoured With the usual complimentary cheers. —Drank accordingly. The Right Worshipful the 'Mayer ' (William Wright, Esq.) rose and returned thanks. - Next followed (from the Chair), " Lord Prudhoe and the Navy," three times three.—(Great applautse.) . —" The Coal Trade:" drunk con amore. Then followed " Cady Agnes Buller"— and " The Duke of Wellington"—both .of which toasts were ' honoured with cheers.' Dixon. Brown, Esq., (the junior Vice President) rose, and in neat terms proposed the health of their very excellent Chairman. Mr. Alderman Cookson perti nently returned thanks. The next, toasts, in succession were " The High Sh er iff f or Northumbetland"—" Lady Glenlyon" —and "'The Recorder of Berwiek"-ta(the latter toast by Wil liam Clarke, Esq.) The worthy. .Recorder (Christopher Cook son, Esq.) with an air of great naivete, said he was certainly taken by surprise—i. e. as far as any Lawyer could be said to be so taken—as he could not suppose himself entitled to the honour of being put on the list of the toasts for 'the day.. If be was so complimented, because of his connection with the town of Berwick, all he could say, lie deeply regretted, that the worthy Mayor of that place (Mr. Logan) who felt as devotedly to the interests of the Duke of Northumberland, as him Self, was not present to return thanks: indeed, he could, with great truth affirm, that the general sentiment of the Burgesses at Berwick, was in perfect union with the Mayor's and his own, and lie hardly thought it possible for his Grace to have warmer friends any where—( Great applause.)—" The3lcin hers for Northumberland," was the next toast. Mr. Wilkie rose and proposed the health of a gentleman, whose obliging and truly amiable manners had justly endeared him to all who knew him— anti to none more so than hit Grace's tenantry—le, of course, meant Sir D. W. Smith, and; if he might be permitted, he would inclrale in the toast his Brother Commissioners, Mr. Bustin and Mr. Laws, giving them three times three, which they were pre eminently entitled to. Drank accordingly. Sir D. W. Smith roe to return thauks, and remarked, that if his learned friend, the Re corder of Berwick, felt himself taken by surprise, he was su indeed a fortiori—because Of the extremely flattering mariner in which the courtesy of thespeaker (Mr. Willste etahodidthesentiments of -the toast which applied to him (Sir I); Smith). (kelt, he would say, was the gratification he felt at being thus honoured, because it made him believe, that he and his. honourable col leagues were not unsuccessful in their efforts to adthinistet the important affairaof the Duke of Northumberland, so as best to secure the interests of all concernetlea-(Great applause.)—Be fore he sat down; Sir David begged to give The health of all the Duke's Friends." Mr. (layering, of Callaley, begged a bumper might be filled to " The Earl'of Beverley." Drank in conformity. Mr. BunnEare of Broom Park, rose,. antL as one of the Committee, observed he was aware that. the veto was en tered against all , political toasts ; still, with this bar even, he trusted what he was about to submit would carry a strong excuse in the estimation of all Newcastle Gentlemen. It was a sort of . axiom, it was true, that partiality generally constituted the basis of a f r i end ' s praise. Yet, he felt an honest pride in declaring, that while ..he feebly attempted to describe the exalted worth of the Chancellor of England, he was borne octal:) , the general sense of the eentntry.—( Great tip plause).—Where was there a man whose heart beat with warmer pulsation of friendship than did that of the venerable Lord El don ? All his family had the most gratifying proofs of his affec tionate kindness. As to myself, continued Mr. B. in an animated tone, can never target the deep sense of obligation that I owe to that distinguished individual.. But words, in fact, are inadequate to pourtray the indelible impression made upon me by the many enclearingqualities of that Most estimable man. If I may be indulged, however, I will borrow the language of pane gyric that was bestowed upon hire by a stauch political opponent in the Commons House of' Parliament, when the Vice Chancel lor's Bill was first agitated there —he alluded to the late Sir S. Romilly. {Here the speaker recited from memory, in the most accurate manner, the identical words used by the great Lawyer alluded to, and which, as it involved an exalted strait - , of praise upon the great legal talent s , & c. of - the Lord. Chan cello:, was listened-to with equal attention and admiration.] — Having proceeded thus far, continued Mr. Burrell, I propose, in a full flowing glass, " The Health of the Right Hon. the Earl of Eldon," with three times three. • Drank . amid the most unequivocal tests of approbation, namely, loud plaudits and continued cheering. . _ When silence was obtained, Sir THOMAS BunDox rose, and expressed himself to the following effect:— Mr. President and Gentlemen,—l have-the honour of rising to return thanks for the truly flattering and handsome man ner in which the health of.my Noble Friend, the Lord Chan cellor, has been drank. I am quite sure, that had that Noble Person been present to witness the feelings of that • room, and particularly the very handsome eulogy offered with so much kindness by 51r. Burrell, the, gratification of his Lordship woul;! have been supreme ; for no man . enter tained a higher or more sincere regard for his early friends, nor could any man be more sensitively aliVe to the. various im portant interests connected with, the.Notth',': . .lt should be his (Sir Thomas B.'s) immediate duty to report to the Lord Chan cellor the high honour confetreil uporLhim by the numerous and very respectable company now assembled ; and he knew the intelligence, when it reached, him, would.. excite the most lively sensations of joy in his bosoin. 'lle (Sir Thos. B.) had great pleasure in further stating, that he•-had had the happiness to see the Noble Lord only a few days -.days. ago, • presiding in that Court in which his Lordship is ever,. most zealous in de fending the rights of the widow and the - orphan ; and he could with great truth affirm he never saw that - Noble Personage in better health or spirits—(applause); . evert thing about him, in fact, portended a lengthened career of life andactivity.—(Oreat Applause.) DIxoN BROWN, Esq. then rose, and proposed os a toast— " The Bench of Magistrates for the County of Northumber land." W. Burrell, Esq., as senior Magistrate present, rose to return thanks, which he did in his usual , felicitous manner, observing that the Magistracy had various and arduous duties to perform, and if any errors arose—as all men were fallible— he trusted they would be ascribed to the head, and not to the heart.—(Applause.) The CHAIR3LAW then proposed ". The Health of Lieut.-Col. Six Thomas Bunion, and the Tyne llussars."—Sir Thomas B. rose, and expressed himself to the following effect :--I have again, Gentlemen, the honour of rising to return my-sincere ac knowledgments for the very handsome compliment of drinking my health coupled with th e Yeomanry un d er my comman d , the Tyne Hussars. It is obvious now; Gentlemen, that how ever great the services of the National Volunteers during the late war, their exertions can now only be available in the event of civil disturbance ; and thank God ! from the generally flourish ing state of the . country, there is little to be dreaded on that score. Wherever the national exigencies required their ser vices, he might venture to say the Tyne Hussars would be found at their post. While speaking of this patriotic force, he could not resist the opportunity of giving it as his opinion, that the troops of the line had been most effectually recruited from the Volunteer System ; and that those brave British heroes, who returned covered with laurels from the field of glory, had first imbibed their military ardour in the proud phalanx of Volun teers at home. This, Gentlemen, and the invincible energy of Britannia's sons abroad, it was that prevented the foe from attempting to drive the iron wheel of oppression over this !happy—this thrice happy country•—(Great applause).— [Sir Thos. B. here took an opportunity of paying a well merited compliment to the . Percy Tenantry, who, he observed, were equipped and maintained, during the late war, by the Princely Head of the House of Northumberland, without costing the na.-- tion a single shilling--an additional proof, if any were wanting, of the patriotic spirit and munificence which characterized all the proceedings of that Noble Family, in honour of whom they wer that day assembled. Sir Thos. B. concluded by proposing " I.`fie Memory of the Percy Tenantry," which was drank amidst thunders of applause.] Sir D. W.8:11/Tit returned thanks, and several other Gen tlemen in the room s t o od . up in acknowledgment of the com pliment. The next toast was, " Lord Lovame and the North umberland Militia." Lieutenant-Colonel DENT, though no longer belonging to the regiment, (albeit he had served fifty years in it), could not resist the. opportunity of rising to return thanks. The worthy Colonel gave a very interesting accour t of the active part the regiment took during the great riots in the Metropolis-in the year 1780, and detailed some of the affectionate expressions used by his late Majesty to the officers while. reviewing them- in Hyde Park shortly afterwards.— The account was listened to with great attention, and the speaker, sat down amid the general plaudits of the room. The next toast was " Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Harkin and. the Scots Greys."—(Applause.)—[Sir Thomas H a rkin would have dined with the company that day, but he had been sud denly called away that morning to Scotland, on business of importance. lie, however, most obligingly sent the excellent band of his regiment, who contributed much to the entertein ment of the connives, - by appropriate airs -and pieced of music played after the respective toasts.] , IV. DtntliELL, Esq. rose to ropose " The M e m or y of the late Duke of Northumberland," humbly submitting, that if, which he was most ready to acknowledge, the present Duke had the trausundent merits ascribed to him, they were mainly to be ascribed to his Grace's being pleased to follow the foot steps of his noble father.—(Applause.) Sir D. W. Saul' ti proposed "- The health of the Vice-Presi dents," to whom the company were much indebted for their able serv:ces. Win. Linskill, Esq: and Dixon Brown, ESq. severally made their acknowledgements. The Worthy Baronet h e Xt g a v e " The health-of Mrs. Cookson," the President's lady.— (A p plause.)—The Chairman returned thanks in appropriate terms. Several toasts and sentiments followed ; amongst which were Lieut.-Gblonel Brandling and the Northumberland Cavalry"— " The Recorder of Newcastle"—" Lieut.-Colonel Bigge and the Locals"—" Mr. Cookson, the venerable Father of the Worthy Chairman"--h" Lieut.-Col. Dent"- - --" Mr.Weatlierhy" —"• The Land we live &c.

ALEXANDEN, of South Farm, A Ileannings, on December, 24, 1323. It beingfai: day, and the 'first execution that had ever taken place at Deviies, may in some measure account for the number of persons (esti mated at 30,00) assembled on this awful occasion. Orr as scending the scaffold, the Rev. Chaplain thus addressed them;—" John Goodman and Edward Armor, I new require of .you, and each of you, as you will in a few moments have . to answer at the dreadful bar of-the AL-nighty, are you gui t e r of the crime' of which you have been charged, or are yoa not guilty ?" Goodman immediately replied in a voice Cut could be heard through the immense crowd,—" Nur Guilty !" Amor faintly said, " I say -so too." On which Good:ran urged lam to speak out. He then said in a louder tone, " I say so too—no: Geritlernen, Sir," (as if confused). Goodman afterwards addressed the spectators, " said he, " before I leave this world, I wish to say a few words to you ; I shall not tell a lie, nor do I wish to smother the truth, but forthe last time I declare that „I never heat Thomas Alexander, nor did I rob him on the 24th of December, • nor do I know who did." They then both joined with:. the Chap lain in fervent prayer, after which the latter commenced r,-!ad ing the burial service, and as he uttered the words--" In the midst of life we are in death," the fatal signal was given; and their earthly career was for ever closed.

He denied to the last being the actual murderer of Mr. Wood, and said, that when he saw the two men, Taylor and Platt (.Izese per sons are supposed to have been concerned in the murder) treat Mr. Wood.,roughly he would have left them, but thy threa tened to- serve him the same way ; he then remained :cal parti cipated in the booty, which lie says, was only 4s. &I. The ex ecution took place earlier than usual, but there' was n.:Verthe leSS a great crowd. ROBBING A COAL-WHARF. Boxv-STREET.—,-This day lfrm.
