BIRTH. or AN HEIR vo TUE WYNYARD ESTATES

On Tues ay morning intelligence was received
in Durham that Lady STEwAnT was safely delivered of a son,
at Vienna, on Thursday the 26th of April. The announce-
ment of this happy event, and of the favourable state of her
Ladyship's health, diffused'much joy throughout the city. The'
bells of the Cathedral and. other churches rang merrily during
the day; the flag of the Patriotic Tailor floated on the tower of
St. Margaret's, and parties assembled at different inns to drink
health and happiness to the. little stranger and his illustrious
mother. The following toast, drank •at one of these meetings,
was thought peculiarly, appropriate :—" May the radical at-
mosphere of this county always feel the influence of a TEsr-
PEST to clear it." In the evening about 300 of the freemen
were entertained at the public-houses.
On Wednesday the Mende; of Lord Stewart, to the number
of thirty-seven; dined together at the Waterloo Inn, to cele-
brate the auspicious- event.
• STEI'IIEN KEMBLE, Esq. was called to the Chair, and the
Rev. Edward Davison was requested to act as Vice-President.
Soon after the removal of the cloth, the Chairman, having intro-
duced the toast with a neat and appropriate eulogy, proposed " His
mait sacred_ Majesty King George IV. and may he be blessed
.with a long and prosperous reign over a loyal, affectionate, and
united people," with four times four, and long continued shouts
of applause. A band of music, provided for the occasion, im-
mediately after the toast struck up " God save the Xing."-.-
"'The Duke of York - and 'the Army," with nine, 'followed.
Tune " Duke of York's iilarch."—.". The Duke of Clarence
and the Navy," with nine. Tune Rule Britannia."
The CHAIDMAN then rose and said, that called unexpectedly
as he had been to the honourable situation he then filled, which
he had. hoped might be occupied by some gentleman more Com-:
petent to do justice to the occasion than himself, he felt at a loss
for words worthy of the toast which he was about to. propose.
Yet he was aware that little eloquence was necessary, for lie•
'was sure they would drink it with enthusiasm, .when.he told
them that .his.toast was, the healltof a virtuous, a lovely, and
a good woman : one who had proved herself an affectionate
wife, and had now become a tender mother, giying an heir to
the houses of Vane and Tempest. Mr.-Kenible then expressed
a hope that the infant Might inherit the virtues' of his grand-
father, " the generous, the noble, he friendly Vane," and
that. Wynyard might soon -again become, what it bad before
been, the seat of hospitality and friendship. He concluded by
giving ‘,‘ the health of Lady Stewart; may she live long, and:
enjoy every earthly happiness," with .nine,•and the most raptu
rpus applause. • Tune-•" Heee'ta a health to all good lasses."
" The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of the Noble'
Husband of, the lady who had just been drank.' • The conduct
he observed, of Lord Stewart, both Court and in the Field,.
must have excited the admiration of every one; and he doubted
not that. the interests of this cotinty'would be much benefited
by his Lordship's connexion with it. The-health of Lord Stew-
art was then drank with nine, and thunders of applause. Tune
—" See the Conquering Hero." The'Chairman next gave "The
young infidel, and may lie soon become a good Christian, and
prove the joy and comfort of his parents," with nine, and loud
applause. , Tune—" The Bonny Pit Laddie." „
. The VICE-PRESIDENT, after paying a handsome com-
pliment to the Chairman , for the very able and delicate
manner in which he, had introduced _ the - toasts he had so
appropriately. given,- said, he :conceived that. the . picture
would be incomplete without the addition Of another
toast, and he should therefore have the pleasure to propose
" The health, of the Countess of Antrim ;" which being drank,
the Chairman gave " The. Hero of Waterloo, the Duke
of Wellington,".with nine. Tune " The Highlander's March."
Sir Henry Hardinge," with three, and -loud applause.
Tune " The British. Grenadier."—" The Marquis of London-
derry and the House of Stewart," with nine, and rapturous ap-
plause: Tune " The Sprig of Slielalagh."—The Man who
dares be-honest in the worst of times—the Lord Chancellor.".
" Genius, the • offspring of every :country, . and
~confined to
none." By the Vice-President,. after an appropriate compli-
ment, " Mr. Russell, of Brancepeth Castle," with nine.
Tune. ‘‘--Weel may - the -keel . row."—By the Chairman,
" The Lord , Lieutenant."—By Mr. Gregson, " The Ho-
nourable Frederick Stewart," with nine, and rapturous ap-
plause.—By the Chairman, The Bishop of Durham and
. the : Clergy of the Diocese."—Mr.. Gregson having read;a
card from General Seddon, expressive of regret at his being'
unable to attend in consequence of indisposition, the Chair-
man proposed the health of Major-General. Seddon, • with
tine,-which was drank amid loudappiause."—" The Pen, the
Pencil, and the ;14yre."...-.The Chairman then introduced, after
a well-meeited panegyric, " .the health of Mr. Gregson," which
was drank with ninee- and. enthusiastic api*aise. - Mr. G. re-
turned thanks in modest and appropriate language. • .
We regret that our limits will not admit of so long a report of •
this Meeting as we felt anxious to give ; we must therefore close
our account with the followinz,brielsuremary of the remaining
'toasts the Chairman, Captain. Parry •and his adven-
turous-associates who fearlessly sought a north-western pas-
sage,"-with nine. Lieut. Skene, R.N. returned thanks.—" Mr.
Alderman Wilkinson," • with .nine.. _Mr. Wilkinson, jun. re-
turned thanks, and said, had his father been in the habit of go-
ing into public company, nothing would have gratified him more
highly than to have joined the party then present, and particu-
larly upon so happy. an . occasion.—By the Vice-President,
" Lord Liverpool and his Majesty's Ministers."—By
kinson (TOwn Clerk), " The Memory of the late Sir Henry
Vane ',Tempest," in silence.—By Capt. Ellis, " The President's
good health," with nine. Mr. Kemble returned thanks, and.
proposed " the health of the Vice-President," who also ex-
pressed his acknowledgment of the honour conferred. Several
other toasts were drank in the course of the evening, the band
following up most of them with appropriate music, and some.
of the gentlemen present added to the harmony and conviviality
of the Meeting by the addition of n few good songs.
An excellent dinner was provided, considering the shortness
of the notice given, and mirth and good fellowship pervaded.
the company.
At Sunderland, the intelligence of the birth of the heir of
Wynyard was received on Tuesday afternoon with great joy.
The bells of the different churches were set a ringing, and con-
tinued their merry peal during the remainder of the.day. Co-
lours were displayed on board the vessels in the harbour,. and
about nine o'clock in the evening, ten barrels of strong ale were
distributed .to the populace in front of the Exchange. A grand
dinner to celebrate the happy event will take place to-day, at
Kay's, the Golden Lion Inn.—(From the Durham County
Advertizer, May 12.)

THEMISTOCLES.-Ancient Greece can boast
of no hero more illustrious. The victory he ob-
tained in the Bay of Salamis over the Persian
fleet, by which he prolonged the independence
of his country, immortalised his name. As a
General, his talents were consummate ; as a
Judge, he was inflexibly impartial. Simonides,
the Poet, requested him to relax the rigour of
justice in his favour. "If you would think that
Poet bad," said Thernistocles., " who trans-
gresses the rules of metre, why should you not
reckon that Judge infamous who holds the re-
quest of any one more sacred than the laws of
his country ?"—A father consulted Themistocles
to which of two• lovers he should marry his
daughter : whether to a poor man of merit,
or to a rich man of a bad character ? " Were I

your placer said Thewistocles, " I should
prefer a man without money, to money without a
man." If we could be admitted behind the
scenes of the political drama, and proceed from
beholding the public affairs of empires to inspect
their .secret origin, we should be astonished at

the small springs that give the first impulse to
movements of the greatest importance. Thends-
tocles had, a son who was the darling of his mo-
ther. " This little fellow'," :aid Themistocles,
"is the sovereign of all. Greece." 44 HOW so ?"
said a friend. " Why, he governs his mother,
his mother governs me, I govern the Athenians,
and the Athenians govern all Greece." As The-
mistocles was once marching amid the • spoils of
his enemies, he said to one of his soldiers, " Col-
lect those spoils for thyself, for thou art not The-
mistocles."

Mr. DANEZ Ivan sent by the court of Franc.:
to the council of Trent, wherein he made a ve-
hement speech against the court of Rome, and in
favour of the reformation of the church. As
soon as Ile had finished, an Italian prelate said,
with an expression of contempt, "Gallus cantat."
Mr. DANEZ instantly exclaimed, " Utinam ad

The KING'S VISiT to the ITALIAN OPERA.
KING'S THEATRE.
MAJESTYIIis having signified.hisintention of
honouring this Theatre with his presence the se-
cond time this season, evey preparation was Made
for receiving him with all possible respect. At
the early hour of four in the afternoon all the
avenues surrounding the Theatre were complete-
ly filled by crowds of 'anxious spectators, who
awaited with much patience the usual time fOr
opening the doors.. His .Majestyi accompanied
by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence',
and followed by his usual suite, was received on
his arrival at the Theatre by Mr. .Eliers and Mr.
Ayrton, habited in full Court dresses, and was
by them imm?diately conducted to the Royal !fax,
which he entered. precisely at eight o'clock.
The fer Vent loyalty which animated every breast
within the house was never diSplayed iii a hao-
pier manner 'than •on -this occasion. Afterti:e
tumult of applause had somewhat subsided,
46 God save the King" was called for, and the
request was immediately complied with,MeSdrni.

brilliant circle, joined in the full chorus.
Majesty bowed repeatedly in token 'of tbe sh:-
core pleasure with whiA he received these indis,,
putable marks of public esteem and rela?ct. Th
Opera for the evening was La Ciemenza di Tito.;
the beautiful music with 'which this unrivalled
composifon of Mozart abounds, received ample.
justice from the modern syrens who performed
last night; and whose-'e-xertions' Were honoured.
i:itlk the marked approbation of his Majesty.,L-
Between the acts a divertisement selected from
the. Ballet of Nina was produced, in which the
skill of Mons. Albert and ?:ilademoiselle'Noblet
was very conspicuous. At the close of the
Opera, " God save the King," was again called
for, and sung with the same enthusiasm -which
distinguished its first performance. The Ballet
of LaPaysanne Stipp. osOe, concluded the even-
ing's entertainment. After which thin nationa I
anthem was sung a • third time ; and his Maj .sty-
having bowed in the 'most gracious manner to
every part of the house, withdrew at half past
twelve o'clock. We do not remember to have
seen for a considerable time his Majesty looking
in such good health and spirits as yesterday
evening.. The Duke of Clarence was seated•on
his left hand, and we observed in the Royal boX
Lord Cathcart, as Gold Stick, and Lord Boston
as the Lord in Waiting.
FURTHER Pi\ATIGULARS.—HIS Majesty pro-
ceeded
from his Palace in Pall-Mall with his At-
tendants a few minutes before eight o'clock,
escorted by a party of the Life Guards. The
Royal procession consisted of five carriages, in
which were the usual Attendants. Lord Boston
was the Lord in Waiting, and the Earl of Cath-
cart (Cofnmauder of the 2d Regiment of Life
Guards) was the Gold Stick in Waiting. On his
Majesty's arrival at the entrance of the Opera
House he was•received with the acclamations of
the public. Sir Robert Baker, the Chief: Ma-
gistrate, was in attendance. Mr..Ebers, the Pro-
prietor, and Mr. Ayrton, the Director, appeared
in full Court Dresses to rec.-4.dve the King, and
conduct him into the Royal Box.

Tux THEATRE.,---We have to notice with re-
gret another .of these disjigurements of dramatic
works, which . the depraved taste of the times
seems to render necessary.—The. Tempest, one of
the most regular plays of SHAKSPEIRE, was re-
vived at Covent-Garden Theatre last • night, not
as written by our immortal Bard, but as debased
and indeed rendered ridiculous by DaynEs.—
But this is not all, there was some, additional
tinkering, and additional songs also were intro-
duced. The characters added by ha DEN are
absolutely contemptible, and we earnestly hope
that this fine play will be revived in its
original state, and only with, the beautiful and
appropriate music of Puacztd.—We 'pity t 1 e
Managers for the necessity of courting pub-
lic favour by the alterations of other standard
plays, but SHAKESPEARE'S' drama should be in•
violate, except a$ far as entrenchment may be
necessary, hut not be polluted by interpolation.
MA CILEA D Y gave dignity to Prosper°, and ABBOTT
was sufficiently interesting in Ferdinand, injured
and disgraced as the character is by Dayncs•
Miss FooTE was. light, playful, and characteristic
in Ariel. Stephan° and Trinculo were well sell'
ported by FARREN and BLAXcn kiln, and Calibtaa
could not be in better hands than those of EmEaY•
The piece
,was also strongly supported by the
vocal charms of Miss STEPHENS and Miss HAT,-
LANDE. The scenery was picturesque, beautiful, -
and splendid.
