GRAND DINNER GIVEN BY THE SHERIFF OF
NEWCASTIJE-UPON-TYNE.

On Sunday last, the Sheriffof Newcastle-upon-Tyne (GEORGE
Snanrolur it, Esq.) gave his first official grand dinner to the
Members of the Corporation, and a large body of his friends,
at the Assembly-Rooms. Covers were laid for 100 in the small
Assembly-Room, and about ninety Gentlemen sat down at six
o'clock to a very sumptuous repast. At the dais or hoard of
honour we noticed the two Representative of the town, Sir
M. W. Ridley, Bart. and Cuthbert Ellison, A.:sq., Sir Thomas
Bunion, Sir Joseph Gilpin, M. 1)., Lieut.-Col. Teesdale of
the Ist Dragoon Guards, his Majesty's Collector of the Cus-
toms (Charles Ogle, Esq.), the Recorder of Newcastle (R. H.
Williamson, Esq.,) Mr. Alderman Cookson, and Thomas Fen-
wick, Esq., banker; immediately on the right hand of the
Chair sat the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Newcastle ( Henry
Cramlington, Esq.) The Officers of the Ist Dragoon Guards,
the Officers of the Royal Artillery, and the Naval Officers on
the station were parscines in various parts of the room, and by
the richness of their costume, added considerably to the bril-
liancy of the scene. In the splendid array of viands, &c. the
taste and liberality of the worthy Sheriff were very happily
conspicuous: the dessert and wines too, harmonized perfectly.
In short, the whole exhibited a most pleasing display of that
solid enjoyment for which our ancestors were so justly cele-
brated at this festive season. Mr. Sheriff sustained the duties
of the chair with great urbanity and talent, the tendency of
which necessarily was the enhancement of the pleasures of the
evening.
