MR. KEAN, JUNIOR.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT IN THE MORNING HERALD.)
The new Douglas is the second son of Mr. Kean;
that tragedian's first son died very young. Such first
son was, a great favourite with the father, and was
considered very clever. The second son (and only
remaining child) also showed early promise of talent,
and was -then with the father a: good deal ; but
his humour, activity, and drollery were such, that his '
father was wont to say he would be " a second Gri-
maldi7--if any thing." After some preliminary edu-
eationi he was sent to Eton, where he made tolerable
progress; but the Ip:other is understood to have main-
tained chief control (as indeed she had long done at
home) touching, the youth's education, as well as
other domestic affairs. At home, in truth, Mr.
Kean .never. had much voice; and the influence of
the mother with the son, as against the father, is said
to be tolerably predominant, even at the preSent mo-
ment. It has been said that the father's wishes were
itot too strongly in favour of the son adopting the
stage as a profession ; and either in obedience to
such wishes, or out of compliment to some of the
party, a cadet-ship for the East Indies was 'prof-
fered to the young Etonian. ,The kind feeling of
Mr. Calcraft chiefly, if not wholly, secured this
proffer. , It ,was declined, the son observing that
he would try the stage,--that his father might have
been Wealthy, had he chosen (hi would have pos-
sessed little short of 80 or 100,000/. at the present
moment, had he been prudent), and that he (the
son) would therefore, having a " call " that way, try
his fate on the boards. The son's inclinations are
decidedly in favour of the stage ; and thds, as in the
instance of Grimaldi, continuing the talent to the
third generation. Mr Kean's father and uncle
(Moses Kean) were fond of the stage, and celebrated
mimics. The secret of a son of Mr. Kean having
rehearsed at Drury-lane 'Theatre for more than six
weeks, was tolerably well kept; with the exception,
of some of Mr. Price's very particular friends, no-
body knew any thing about the circumstance; and
even some performers, who saw the youth rehear-
sing, and who, knew the father well, did not re-
cognise the young man. The Manager never hinted
'at uny.such affair; indeed, to divert the scent, he
talked of enormous proffers made to distinguished
ladies, &c. to return to the stage; or to appear at
Drury ; but the matter would have been much more
complete, had the secret continued to be kept till
after the first night—had it not been made known
who the " amateur " was till after the first ap-
pearance. S •

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

NEVS'CASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 29,

The great theme of conversation here at present, is the
very gracious and condescending demeanour of the Duke of
Wellington, to all who have the honour of access to him.
At the grand ball given by the Marchioness of Londonderry,
at Wynyard-park, the other evening, his Grace literally
charmed the whole company, by that affable, polite, and
.unconstrained carriage, which in our intercourse with
society so powerfully gains upon the heart ; but more
particularly so when:the relative rank of the parties may be
Said to differ so widely. Most men, in.the abstract, admit
the force of Lord Chesterfield's reasoning, but they have not
all the necessary philosophy to act up to his precepts.

As the Newmarket Races commenced to-day, very few
of the subscribers were present. Nothing satisfactory can
be announced as to the Levanters, one, it is reported, hav-
ing departed for Germany, and the other• for " the land of
song." Another, to the tune of fifteen hundred pounds,
has been recognized as the keeper of an old clothes shop,
and also that be had paid some previous losings, as a cloal.

At the rooms last night were the Earl of Jersey, Sir
John Shelley, Hon. T. Duncombe, Col. Russell, Messrs.
Aubrey, Irby, Mills, and some other members. The at-
tendance ofthe betting men is numerous, but their expec-
tations that some of those who have not yet shown at
Tattersall's would meet their St. Leger engagements here,
have as yet been disappointed, the parties having been to.
much fatigued at Doncaster to be enabled to get thei,
boots on. Some hopes, however, are entertained for to-
morrow, when the settling for to-day's races takes place.
Contrary to our expectation, the weather was very fa-
vourable, and thashow of general company was, in conse-
quence, more numerous than, limn the scanty appear
ance, had entitled us to anticipate.
