After that the men are sent on board where-many, of them employ themselves in working at any mechanical trade to which they !night have been brought tip. Besides food and'clothing, each male convict is allowed one shilling- and sixpe.nce a week, sixpence of which is given at once, and. the remaining shilling per week is laid by to accumulate into a 'sum, which is. to be given to each when the period of his sentence expires, so that he may be ena bled to purchase new clothes, ar:d turn hiniself to. industrious habits.

[We are indO)ted to an:ol4iging Correspondent in Northumberland for the following;] GRAND DINNER Givgt by T. IV. BEAUMONT, E - 9: M.P., to the OFFL. CEBS of the W. R. N. L. MILITIA, at the Black Inn, Ilexbarn. Early in the afternoon of Thursday last, the music of the merry bells of Ilexham gave note-of preparation for joy and festivity. At about four o'clock, Thomas Wentworth Beau mont, Esq. 111. P., drove up in hiscbariot and four to the White Hart Inn, in that town, amid the greetings of the inhabitants. The Hon.. Gentleman, intending to gi , ;re a dinner to the Officers of the Western Regiment of Northumberland Local Militia, lately under his command, had fixed upon this day for the ceremony; and great preparations were accordingly made for 'that purpose at the Black Bull Inn. At six o'clock, the Offi `cers of the Regiment (21 in number) sat down to a sumptuous entertainment. Every thing - delicate and in season was pre sented, and Mr. Beaumont had, with great liberality, sent a supply of the finest French wines, including champaigne, &c., from the cellars of his mansion at Bywell. The military band of the regiment attended in the ante-room, and, by the per formance of choice pieces of music, contributed essentially to 'easet°lrnPany. After th e c l o th was with drawn, g i ven b y t h e Ch a i rman (M r. d ti r t a e w en n, te t r h ta e i f u o tn n e o n w t h o ig f the BxanatoxT).:— " The Ring, with three times three"--drank with enthu- siasm. - . " The Duke of York and the Army." " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy." " The Duke of Northumberland, the Lord Lieutenant of the County." " Prosperity.to the County of Northumberland." Lieutenant-Colonel Cann then rose, and in a neat speech proposed the 'health of the lion. Chairman ; expressing, both on his own part and on the part of his brother officers, the deep .regret which they all felt that he had thought it proper to resign his commission as Lieut.-Colonel Commandant of the Western Regiment of Northumberland Local Militia. The toast w i as drank amid loud cheering and long continued applause. As soon as silence was obtained, Mr. BEATTItroxi. rose, and addressed the company to the following effect : " Gentlemen,—You will readily suppose that I find myself at this moment in a situation of considerable embarrassment —an embarrassment not arising from my inability to ex press in adequate terms my gratitude for the very flattering .manner in which my health has been drank by you ; nor does -it proceed from what would be a graver cause for it —my having from private motives and feelings absented myself, for a time, from my public duties in Parliament.— No, it is created by what I can scarcely indeed state with gravity,---(a derisory smile *as here strongly depicted in the speaker's countenance)—from my being ignorant whe ther you consider that 1 am now addressing you in the full and undisturbed possession of my intellects, or during a mere lucid interval ! Ludicrous as it appears to me to ima gine that those who have to-day favoured me with their corn pany should entertain for a moment such an opinion, re. ports of my having been under a sort of insanity—under mental delusion, as it werehave 'been so industriously circu lated, and from quarters usually considered of-respectable authority, that I cannot help saying I have a right to apprehend that most of yOu, in all probability, a t some time or other, if not -now, have entertained such an opi nion. My _presence among from this d ay h as, I hope, done much to dispel such an idea from your minds; but should-any particle (. suspicion still remain in any 0ne,.1 think 1 can re move it by observing that those who have been most industri ous in giving currency to this report never surmised for an in stant the bare po ss ibili ty o f such a th i ng, until I had left their I house. I had •been in daily intercourse with them for some time without the least hint havi ng b een g i v e n - o f it . to any one ! If this is not sufficient, there is a fact which must carry convic tion to every one, how entirely false, and without the shadow even of foundation, such a report-has always been. It is this„ that up to ten days liner my departure from a house, which I shall not name, I know from a let ter rece i ved by one of my own fainily, that it was the • wish of th ose persons that matters should b e am i ca bl y arranged. And, in point of fact, an over ture was, made to. roe shortly after my depariure from that houSe (through a person, who, if required; will not hesitate to come forward and say so), for that purpose. Where, then, let me ask, is the shadbw of a probability, that Mose persons con sidered me to be insane, or labouring under mental delusion ?" —(Great applanse.) any way a rec a e l n h t id t i • " You must excuse me—indeed I sin quite sure t h at t h e 1 good sense a nd honourable fe e li ngs of every gent l eman pre sent will convince him that I ought- to abstain from enterin g r n a g n sa fo c r tio t n h . e g i r n at ge oa f t i i r o s n t o in f t a o n t y h epedrestoanil:4B—ctiorrioinsi curiosity place, whatever example has been set me to the contrary, I shall avoid as .nuch as possible stating any thing to the preju dice of another in his absence ; and in the next place it is. a matter of •so, delicate a character as not to he a proper subject of conversation at a meeting assembled as- this is for a convivial object. I shall therefore wave the subject altogether, and pro ceed to express my acknowledgments with the most cordial sentiments of gratitude and sincerity for the very kind and flat tering manner in which my health has been received by you. I regret-much- that have found it necessary to resign my commission ; but circumstances, which I explained to my friend on my . right hand (Lieut.-Colon e l Carr), compelled me to it. And what has since transpired has given me no cause to re pent of that step, with whatever feelings of regret, on account of our separation, it has been accompanied. I indulge the hope, how ev e r , that though we shall meet no more as brother officers, yet that we shall always meet as friends. This speech, which was delivered with great ability, was listened to with extreme attention; bursts of applause fre quently issued during its delivery :—BUt on its termination the acclamation that followed, seemed to shew that thehornage offered the worthy President was the genuine offspring of the heart. The Chairman having given the health of the Right lion. Thomas Wallace tthe new - Commandant of the Regiment), which was followed. by several appropriate toasts, Major Richmond rose., and in.neat and expressiye terms proposed the health of_ theltlembers for . the County. It was received with great'satisfaction, and drank accordingly. The Hon. President Tose to return thanks onbeltalf of Mr. Brandling and himself, and requeisted that the gentlemen. would' not believe any reports of his intending to withdraw*, • himself., from the representatiOn of the county. He had, it was true, for a short time, entertained such a. thought, _but he was fiappy he had abandoried it. T - All that he had - seen since lie 'gave up, that idea, bad given him the most flattering assurance that he had been right in his determination to keep his seat; and he would . now declare 'that at the next general election, no Matter what strength of opposition might be ar rayed against him...-thoiegh the hostile feelings of all parties might he drawn intOafoemr- and directed againt himseff—lie should spend the last sixpence of his property rather than leave a man unpolled in the county of Northumberland ! Mr. B. expressed his intention of resuming his seat in the House of Commons immediately after Easter; and by a close attendance to his Parliamentary duties endeaVour to compensate for the loss of that time which had been suffered to slip away.—(Great applaase,) Mr. Beaumont discharged the duties of the Chair with great good humour, urbanity, and talent. He was in excellent health and spirits ; and if the misrepresentations (for it would be idle to affect our ignorance of them) which some how have so strangely obtained in regard to a certain affair, (delicately alluded. to by the flonourable Gentleman himself in his speech), had created in the minds of any one a bias to his prejudice, we do say that the very able manner in which he acquitted himself as President,- in the course- of a long and. convivial evening, afforded the moSt convincing and irre fragable proof of the baseness of the calumny. The officers dtclare that no individual could display more complete effi ciency of manner, or make a more favourable impression upon his friends, than did the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. B.) upon the occasion alluded to. It is hardly necessary to add, that the evening was spent in the most agreeable and hilarous manner, and that it was a late hour before the party broke up, everyone of whom was loud in expressing his unmixed satisfaction at the interesting amid truly pleasant occurrences of the day.
