GRAND MILITARY DINNER AT NEWCASTLE-
UPON-TYNE.

The Officers of the Tyne Hussars gave a grand military
dinner at Dodsworth's Hotel, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in honour
of his Majesty's Birth-day, on Saturday last, Lieut.-Colonel
Sir THOMAS BURDON, in the Chair. Lieutenant-Colonel
Teesdale of the Ist Dragoon Guards, and other Officers belong.
ing to that regiment were present, as well as several Gentlemen
(non-military) belonging to the town, forming in all a.most
agreeable party of about 40. The dinner arid wines were in
Mr. Dodsworth's usual excellent style. When the cloth was
drawn the Chairman rose, and said, the toast he was about to
give was the health of our Most Gracious Sovereign: long may
the nation enjoy the happiness of his Majesty's paternal sway.
Drank with the most enthusiastic applause and four dines four,
the Band playing the National Anthem in fine style. The
next toasts were, " The Duke of York and the Army."--
" The Duke of Clarence and the Navy." Appropriate music-
following. The Chairman then rose to propose the health
of his excellent friend on the right—he moult Lieut.-Colonel
Teesdale ; and he would add, the officers of the regiment. As
a Yeomanry Officer, it did not become him (Sir 'l'. B.), to re:.
view a distinguished regiment of the line; but this he would
say, so gallant a corps was well deserving of his Mostiespectful
notice, and a fiall-flowing bumper.—Drank with great applause,
and three times three.—Lieut.-Colonel T. rose and returned
thanks in very handsome terms. He concluded by proPe'slnf
the health of Lieut.-Colonel-Sir Thomas Burdon,' and the Of-
ficers of the Tyne Hussars.—The Worthy CMAJRMAN acknow-
ledged the compliment in a very neat and appropriate speech',
which was greatly applauded.—On the health of the Bishop
of Durham, and the Clergy of the Diocese being given, the
Rev. Tatomis ALLASON (Vicar of Heddon-m-the-Wall),
rose and returned thanks.—The Lord-Lieutenant of the County
of Durham., the Earl of Darlington, was drank with great ap—
plasse.—The Viee-Chair (Major Ca wraer.t.), was propose&
in a very handsome manner, by Mr. GIBSON (bankerl.—M ajor
CAMPBELL made a suitable ae;;nowleclgment.—Lieutenant—
Colonel TEASDALE begged to give a toast, which, sitting where-!
he was, he was sure would be received with peculiar bade-
faction—he would give the Lord Chancellor of England, and
for three very sufficient reasons ; because that distinguished
Nobleman was a most excellent Judge and Minister—because
he was a Newcastle man—and because he was a relation to
their very worthy President. The toast was drank with very
great applause, and three times three. The Chairman rose to
make his acknowledgments for the honour that Lad been done
the Chancellor, by drinking his Lordship's health in so flattering
a manner. It would afford his Lordship great pleasure, lie
was sure, when he learnt in how, complimentary a manner that
company had noticed him.---,lllr. Ai:HST.IIOIw rose, and.in
brief, but very handsome terms, proposed the health of the
Judge of the Court of Admiralty (Lord Stowell), whose tran-
scendent merits, as a Civilian and a Statesman, would hand
him down to posterity, like his distinguished brother, as OF_
of the great ornaments of the age in which he lived.—(Drene•
with astounding applause, and three times time.)—The Chair--
man again returned thanks—Capt. DUTTON rose, and in hand-
some terms proposed the health of their Secretary (Mr. Grieve-
son), whose kind services.were at all times so satisfactory 10.
the corps.- Mr. G. rose, and made his acknowledgments for:
the high honour, which had been so obligingly conferred upon'
him. He felt proud in being where he was that day to cele-
brate with loyalty and respect, the birth-day of their most ex-
cellent Sovereign, one of the best-intentioned Princes that had
ever sat upon the British Throne, and to whose truly paternal
sway, hi fact, ought to be ascribed the general happiness of
the nation. He would say, in the words of a most accom-
plished scholar :
" Long may our Sovereign live, by Heaven's decree,
To rule a nation loyal, brave, and free ! • ,
His people's love, his great, his best reward;
He our protector—We his faithful guard."
(Great applause).—Several excellent and appropriate toasts fol-
lowed, intermingled with some fine specimens of vocal talent,
which, with the brisk circulation of the "rosy wine," very
materially contributed to the pleasure and hilarity of the even"
ing. A few minutes before twelve the President quitted the
Chair, and the party broke up.

The Duke of York and the Duchess of Gloucester visited the
King yesterday.—PrinceEsterhaq, the Austrian Ambassador,
had an audience yesterday of his Al ajesty.—Yesterda7 the
Duchess of Gloucester and Prince Leopold visited the Prince!!
