NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, DEC. 3.

All calculation seems baffled with regard to
`" Xeelruen of the Tyne. It was fully expected that the greater
144 of them would have returned to their work this morning.
In the middle of the night however, the malcontents below
Bridge bestirred themselves, and reached the Keels above
'tidge at a very early hour this morning. The consequence
has been, that a total stop was put to all preparations made by
the well-disposed Keelmen to return to their avocation. We
understand, indeed, that the most riotous disposition was ma-
itested by those men who went up the water, for the purpose of
intimidating their brethren. Provisions, which had been pre-
Pared for the Keelmen on their voyage, had been wantonly de-
4treYed, and the men threatened with DEATII, if they dared to
navigate any of the Keels belonging to the Coal-Owners. It is
IBald that the Magistrate, the Rev. CHARLES THORPE, who
euttr,geously went amongst the infuriated assemblage, in order
t° induce them to keep the peace, was insulted in the most out-
tagenns manner ; and that he had no other alternative but to
read the Riot Act. The Police and Marines, who were on the
Fiver, were challenged to come on shore and fight.—ln fact,
such impudent bullying in the face of authorities, has seldom
been reported to us. A detachment of the 3d Dragoon Guards
/ta& sent for to the barracks; and the speedy appearance of
these brave fellows at the scene of action, soon put to flight the
.rioters.

BRIGHTON, DEC. 3.—The KING IS in good
health and spirits. There has been neither dinner
atr evening party, the consequence of invitations,
the Palace, yesterday nor to-day.
j).l-10an AMIIERST.—The Honourable Court of
'rectors of the East India Company gave a
e'Paad dinner, yesterday, to this Nobleman, in
station
of his appointment to the important
t of Governor General of our Asiatic Pos-
jsgions. This honorary banquet took place at
Me Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, and was
st? every respect such as it should be on an occa-
j°4 connected with the interest and honour of
e"e British Empire. The spirited and judicious
e°,ndoct of Lord AMHERST on the Embassy to
that
may be considered as a sure indication
character
he will maintain the rights and support the
,",aracter of the British Empire with appropriate
'isdorn and dignity.
8 MASTER or THE ROLLS.--We have the plea-
sure to contradict the rumour of the death of this
lesPectahle ornament of the law, and to state that,
rhiavillg passed a good night, he was this day
"In better.
ti..`lre understand that a number of vessels in the
41,1erent ports, and particularly in the River, are
learly ready to avail themselves of the earliest
vti.itelligence of hostilities, and to sally out, pro-
ttued with Spanish papers, against the French
bl'aders,—ln consequence of the increased pro-
ability of war between France and Spain, a
very
a great advance has taken place on the insur-
:lce of homeward-bound French vessels. Nine
'tllineas per cent. was demanded for a ship and
11,4rg0 from the Mosambique to Havre, for which
Premium asked on Saturday was only six
4"uilteas ; and the same proportion for the East
gad Indies.--(Morning Chronicle.)
