GRAND PUBLIC DINNER TO CUARI.F.S OGLE, ESQ., NEW ICASTLE-UPON-TyN E. The approaching Grand Public Dinner, given by the mer chants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to CHARLES Oo LE, Esq., late Collector of his Majesty's Customs, at that Port, as a tes timony of the high opinion entertained of him as a public Ai_ cer, during the long period of thirty-four years, promises (says a letter from the North) to be one of the most superb enter tainments ever seen in the Northumbrian Metropolis. Already there are nearly two hundred names down in the list of sub scribers, which includes the members of all the great mercan tile establishments, besides many others of great respectability. The Committee of Management, we further understand, are indefatigable in their exertions, to impart splendour and effect to a Meeting, which more than promises to rival some of the great Baronial Festivities of our ancestors, in the olden time, upon extraordinary occasions. Doubtless, to receive so une quivocal a mark of respect from such a numerous and distin guished body of men, must prove an offering of the most gra tifying kind to the honourable individual who is the immediate object of it. Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bart. M.P. will officiate as President, and Cuthbert Ellison, Esq. M.P. as Vice-President, upon the interesting occasion. The dinner will take place on Thursday the let of December, in the large Room at the Assembly Rooms. Yesterday the Vice-Chancellor entertained Mr. and Lady Georgiana Bulkly, Mrs. L. Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Stanhope, Mr. and Mrs. Freemantle, Mr. George Villiers, Lord Burghersh, &c. at his house in South-street. • Hatfield House, in Hertfordshire, the seat of_the Salisbury's, is now gay with company. The neighbouring Nobility are among the visitors : the Dowager Marchioness has beer. there a fortnight. The calculation is, that Windsor Castle will not be ready for the reception of Royalty for a considerable time. That part of the interior decoration which relates to furniture will be wholly composed or articles of British manufacture. C II ATSWORTII.—Th e Duke of Devonshire will make up nearly two hundred strangers' beds when this superb edifice is completed—there will be nothing like it in the kingdom. Foothill Abbey appears to be forgotten. Mr. Farquhar re sides there, but the improvements arc discontinued. It was not, as we understand, Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, but the Netherland's Ambassador, Baton Falck, who immediately returned the visit of Mr. Ilurtado, the new Colombian Envoy in London. THE LORD Cum?. JusTicr.—We are happy to state that the Chief Justice is much better. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond have arrived at their seat, Goodwood, Sussex , from a tour. General Sir Cohn, Lady, and Aliss Campbell, have arrived at Cheltenham, from a tour. DRESDEN, Nov. 11.—On the Sth. there was a general illumination of the city, in honour of the marriage of his Royal Highness Prince MAxIMI - On the oth there was a grand concert in the Saloon of the old Opera-house, at which above 4,000 persons were present. During the performance a false alarm of fire arose; all the company pressed through the narrow doors ; many were severely hurt, and various losses were incurred. After the alarm had subsided, the music was continued. To-morrow the Opera of 01,zipia will be performed, and on Sunday, the 13th, a solemn Te Donn will conclude the fetes given on occasion of the marriage. ISLE OF MAN.—The Cumberland Packet says-- " We have received accounts from the Isle ofl Man down to the 16th instant, and are happy to learn that all disturbances had ceased, the people having received the following notice front the Bishop : " Notice.—Whereas it has been represented by evil-minded persons that the tithe of potatoes will be taken from the poor tenants of this island, and from persons little able to pay the same, they are hereby assured that such tith e w ill not b e de manded from them this year or any future time ; and if any mistake should arise in this matter, the persons a g g r i eve d w ill obtain redress by a pplying to the Bishop. " G. SODOIt AND MAN." Two companies of infantry belonging to the SOth and 95th regiments have arrived in the island." GIBRALTAR, OUT. 31.—Two Colombian pri vateers, the General Soublette, and a schooner, are cruising between this and Malaga, and have captured and destroyed several of the coasting craft. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN LORD LIVERPOOL'S FAMILY. --We are sorry to state that a dreadtel accident hap pened at Lord LIVERPOOL'S residence at %Veinier Castle, on Tuesday night last. A servant of the name of Hawkins, who was took in the family, had been out during the-evening, and returned home in a state of intoxication. Upon retiring to his own room, one of his fellow -servants, of the name of Christo pher %Vest, followed him, and observing him take a gun from the closet of the room, he endeavoured to get it out of his hands, and, in the struggle, the gun went off, and lodged the contents in 'West's head, whereby he was immediately killed.-- There is not the least ground to suppose that Hawkins bore any malice or ill will towards his unfortunate victim. They were always considered in the family as particularly friendly towards each other; and there is every reason to believe that Hawkins did not even know that the gun was loaded. Chris-' topher West was brought up in Lord Liverpool's family, and had recently been promoted to be his Lordship's own servant for his good counduct This sad event has deeply affected Lord and Lady Liverpool, and all the family. —W e have since learnt that the Coroner's Inquest, which was held on Wednesday, brought in a verdict of " Accidental Death." VERY LIKE A WIIALE!—AII Irish Paper con tains the following anecdote :—" We have heard it whispered that the battle of Waterloo was not altogether gained by Birmingham steel and Bri tish valour, but that American gold had some share in the success of the great Commander. To be more explicit—W e have heard it confi dently said, within the last few days, that Grouchy was bribed by a certain Illustrious Bride, then a widow, to delay the arrival of his forces at the scene of action, and that the douceur, so opportunely bestowed, constitutes part of the claim which it is reported the fair lady has upon the British Government." Lord and Lady Charles Fitzroy, for Wakefield Lodge, Suf. folk ; the Hon. Colonel Howard, from Westmorland, for Cas tle Rising, Norfolk ; C. Dering, Esq. for Herts.

WILLIAM 111., when prince of Orange, felt himself so extremely hurt at the cold reception he met with in Ezeter, on his arrival in 1688, that he absolutely held a Council of War in con sequence thereof, which terminated in a resolu tion to Holland ; and he was on the point of marching back to his ships, when, unexpectedly, the Gentlemen of Somerset attd Dorset arrived with a powerful party in his favour, which in duced him to pursue his original object. THE CELEBRATED DUKE OF MA It LBOROUGH. —This great General was of a most parsimonious disposition. Whilst commanding the army in Flanders, he would contrive to dine with one or other of his officers every day, to save himself the expense of a table. Whenever they came to him on business, he would observe, '' Aye, aye, if must he so ; but I have ''not time to talk of it now ; I'll come and dioe with you to-morrow,and then we can consider the subject at our leisure," and he never failed to perform his. engagement most punctually, frequently to the no little annoy ance of those whom he thus honoured with his company. Tut: K ism Wrsn.—The late LORD Gump- FOR n, during the latter years of his life, was sub ject to severe attacks of the gout ; having reason to believe the complaint was coining on, he de sired his servant to get his large shoes. The man looked tit all the usual places for them, but without success, and therefore concluded they were stolen, and began Cursing the thief.—'' Poh" said his Lordship, seemingly very gravely, though at the same time agitated with pain, " how can you be so ill-natured, John ?—No, all the harm I wish the poor rogue is, that my shoes may . fit him." hNar.AND.—•The following concise and whim sical account of England was given some years since, by Count Oxensteirn, after his departure front London :—" England is r.sally the Queen of Isles—the metropolis and arsenal of Neptune —it is the treasury of Europe—the kingdom of Bacchus—the school of Epicurus—the academy of Venus—the country of Mars—the recess of Minerva —the support of Holland—the scourge of France—the purgatory of those who are the advocates for shivery—and the paradise of those nho are lovers of liberty." EGuLA tirry AND ECONOMY.—The first LORD Ultra ETos, who built the stately family mansion in Cheshire, in Queen Elizabeth's reign, had a book, in his own band writing, containing all the orders of the family, the business of each par ticular servant, and the precise dishes to he served up to table on each particular (lay in the year. A neighbouring Lord sending him word one morn ing, that he would dine with him, he called for the cook, and, turning to his diary, read over the bill of fare for the day, and in the hearing of the servant who had brought him the information of his master', intended visit, he desired the cook would improve the ordinary dinner, by putting an additional turnip into the pot ! IN f utrrY Cultmus TONYN”IEND 7 Speaking ; of Lord Rockingham's administration, said, 4 6 It • is a lustring Ministry—it will last the summer." Tit EATuICA MISTAKES.—The celebrated actor Qu s, being one night to perform Justice 13alance, in Farquhar's comedy of The &craning Officer, had spent the preceding part of the evening at the Shakspeare Tavern, with Thomson, the author of The Seasons, and some convivial friends, where the bottle circulated freely. At the commence ment of the fourth act, when he has to rebuke his daughter Silvia for her partiality to Captain Plume, instead of saying, according to the author, " Silvia,how old were you when your motherdied?" addressed M rs. Woflington, who played the charac ter, with " Silvia, how old were you when your mother was married ?" The actress tittered, and the audience burst into laughter, when Quin assumed a surly kind of dignity, and shaking his head with a frown, said, " Psha ! I mean Silvia, how old were you whets your mother was born ?" THE Mittasucnr CAr,AMl•ri.—%tire ha►e great pleasure in stating, on the authority of a letter received yesterday from Miramichi, that Sir HOWARD Dour:Las, the Governor of New Brun swick, on receiving intelligence of the dreadful catastrophe at illiramichi, with the most laudable promptitude had hastened to the scene of the dread ful calamity, where he arrived on the evening of the 27th October. The arrival of his Excellency was a complete surprise upon the distressed inha bitants who had no anticipation of the visit. The most lively demonstrations of gratitude, for the at tention thus paid to their situation by the Chief of his Majesty's Government in that settlement, were given by all classes. The assurances of relief, to the utmost practicable extent, given by Sir Howard Douglas, are said to have restored the confidence and the hopes of the surviving inhabit- ' ants, whose spirits had, as might be expected, been depressed almost to despair. W e regret to learn, by different communications, the numbers supposed to have perished in the woods, together with the sufferers at Miramichi and Fredericton, are esti mated to exceed even hundreds ! The loss of cattle, and especially horses, will long be felt as an irreparable injury. Whethe r the fire in its rapid course, has consumed th e tim ber of the forest is not known, but on that fact will depend the extent of damage. If on l y the branches have been destroyed without consum ing the trunks of the trees, the timber will have been generally damaged, and of little value, yet still unprofitably incumbering the land. If, on the other hand, the timber should have been consumed, the labour and expence of clearing the land will have been effected by this dreadful visitation. We observe with much pleasure that the sub scription for Mrs. BELZOM is going on success fully. The present amount advertised exceeds 7004 RtmAttKAßLe DA y.—On this day of the month, in 1787, a gentleman in a canoe, with his negro serv;:nt, was by the wind driven from otf the Island of Grenada, and obliged to run before the trade wind till they reached J antcrica. They had on board the provisions intended for one day, consisting of a few pounds of beefand some pease to support then), a distance of several hundred miles. POETRY. ORDER TO MY PORTER. Thou faithful guardian of these happy walls, Whose honest zeal protects thy master's gate : If any stranger at this mansion calls, I'll tell thee who shall enter, who shall wait. If Fortune, blindfold dame, should chance to knock, Or proud Ambition court me to her arms. " Shut, shut the door, good John," and turn the lock, And hide your master from their Syren charms. For in their dismal train, as black as night, Come hideous Care, and sullen Melancholy ; And Song, and Joy, and Laughter, take their flight, Nor leave one precious moment to dear Folly. If at my door a beauteous boy be seen, (" His little feet have oft my threshold trod,") You'll know the off:l)ring of the Cyprian queen, His air, without his bow, betrays the god. His magic smiles admission always win, Though oft deceived, I love the dear deluder; Morn, noon, or night, be sure to let him in, For welcome Love is never an intruder. Should sober Wisdom hither deign to roam, Nor let her in, nor drive her quite away— Tell her at present I ;on not at home, Rut hope she'll visit me another day. Frome, Nov. 11, 1823.

THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT.—The following description of the President of the United States is given in a Philadelphia Paper :--" President Adams is a man about five feet five or six inches in height, and inclined to corpulency, very bald, a prominent and rather small nose, good fore head, with a general placidity in the ex pression of the countenance, which perhaps has no other decided characteristic than an air of deep reflection that does not, however, ap proach to abstraction. There is a pleasant but not very animated smile, and if any feature were to be selected as indicative of the greatness of his mind, it would be the eye, though were he an ordinary man even that would not be considered remarkable. The general air and manner, how ever, in which there is more of sincerity than elegance, is adapted to inspire even involuntary respect, and at the same time puts the most timid at ease in his presence. Madame CATALANI has arrived at Genoa, with her husband, where she proposes to give several concerts. The King appeared impatient to hear her. The first concert was to take place in a few days, at the theatre of the Court. Madame Catalani would then continue her journey to Flo rence, where she possesses estates. MANCTIESTER POLICE.—(SHAVING OK THE SABBATH ' DAY.)—Wm. Atkinson appeared to answer a charge of exercis ing his calling on the Sabbath-day. One of the Churchwardens ofSt. Paul's stated, that he and his brethren, on Sunday last, went into the defendant's shop, and there found six or seven men waited to be shaved ; and that one man was actually under going the operation. " This," continued the Churchwarden, was not the first time that the defendant had offended, and h e has repeatedly been warn e d as to s h aving on a Sunday. " What have you to say for yourself ?" said Mr. Marriot, addressing the unfortunat e s h aver . T he poor shaver, rub bing his head, replied, " I am very sorry, Sir, for what has happened, but having lost my health in His Majesty's ser vice, I have no other means of getting an honest livelihood but by shaving, and I thought it no harm to clear .a man's beard," Mr. Alarnott to the Churchwarden—" You say that this has frequently happened; do you, Sir ?" Churchwarden Yes, Sir." Mr. Marriott—" Ile must pay as. and costs." The unlucky mower of beards then paid as. and the costs, making the whole II s. Gd., and departed,—( Manchester Paper.) Ex EC UTTON.—The Charlottesville Gazette states that Isaac, the negro boy who had been sentenced to death by the Court of Albemarle county, for an attempt to commit rape and murder, was ex ecuted on Friday last. The prisoner, who was not more that sixteen years old, exhibited an astonishing composure and resignation to his fate. He made no confession—shed no tear— uttered no complaint—but bowed in silent sub mission to • his sentence. Several clergymen visited him previously to his execution, with a hope of administering spiritual comfort, and a very pathetic appeal was pronounced at the gallows by a negro minister of the gospel. But all seemed tb produce no effect upon the unfor tunate being.— (1 3 hiladelphia Freeman's Journal, Oct. '29.) CONSISTORY COURT—(Tins Der). Earl of PORTSMOUTH, by his Committee, v. HAN SON, falsely calling herself Countess of PORTS MOUTH. This day was fixed for the admission of the libel in this suit, Counsel, however, not being ready, it was, after some discussion, deferred till the next Court day. THOMAS BLIGII, Esq. v. HELEN his IfVe. This was a suit for a divorce, on the ground of adultery. The libel alleges, that while Mr. and Mrs. Bligh were at Naples the latter eloped, and went to reside with Mr. Wellesley Pole, and that she is up to this time living with him at Paris, and that she has had a child since her elopement. The citation to appear to this suit was served on the Lady in the year 1823, and no appearance having been made thereto, the Court this day, on the application of Counsel, pronounced her to be in contempt.

A flagrant instance of riot occurred on Thursday last, on hoard the ship Chapman, Captain MILL BANK, at the moment she was proceeding to sea, when, after weighing the anchor, a part of the crew, I`2 in number, who had shipped in this port at high wages, and received large advances be fore signing their articles, refused to assist in making sail, and would not allow the well-dis posed part to obey their officers ; the conse quence was that the ship, one of the hugest which comes to our port, was in imminent danger of drifting on the rocks under Aubigny Church.-- Mr. Patton, who had loaded the vessel, repaired on board and endeavoured to restore order, but without effect; the mutineers, for so we must call them, 'were furious with liquor, and having each man a private store of two or three gallons of rum, it was easy to be seen that so long as this stimulus remained, any attempt to reduce the re frac•ory sailors to obedience would he nugatory. Nlr. Patton accordingly applied to the Chief Police Magistrate, Thomas Taschereau, Esq. on whose representation a military guard was afforded from the garrison to aid the evil authority. Titus reinforced, Mr. Patton re!u-n -ed on board, and arrived just in time to rtscue the officers from their perilous situation, as the refractory party were actually about to throw the boatswin overboard. The appearance of the military, however, altered the case, and tVey were . secured and conducted to gaol, behavi g them— selves in the most riotous and outrageous mantter in passing through the town. Yesterday they: were taken to the police-office, and after a thorough investigation of the case, committed to• prison for 21 days.
