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.
CIIATSWORTII.—The 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 tithe will not be de-
manded from them this year or any future time ; and if any
mistake should arise in this matter, the persons aggrieved will
obtain redress by applying 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.—We 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—We 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."
