NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. R.

(FROM OUR. OWN CORREMNDENT.)
It being understood that the Mayor of Newcastle
(Archibald Reed, Esq.) had received a letter from
the Marquis of Londonderry, under date of the 3d
instant, stating that his Lordship expected the
honour of the Duke of Wellington's company at
Wynyard shortly, and that he was pe►suaded his
noble guest would derive much pleasure in ac-
companying him (the Marquess) to pay his respects
to the Mayor, at Newcastle, during his Grace's stay
in the North, several of the leading inhabitants
and merchants of Newcastle drew up a requisition
to the Chief Magistrate, requesting him " to call a
Meeting of the inhabitants of this town and neigh-
bourhood, for the purpose of considering what mea-
sures it will be proper to adopt in order to receive
his Grace in a manner worthy of his great achieve-
ments, and to show that the services he has rendered
to his country are gratefully remembered in the
town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne."
In consequence of this requisition, which bore
upwards of one hundred signatures, the Mayor ap-
pointed a Meeting to be held at the Guildhall this
day, at one o'clock. Shortly after that hour his
Worship took the Chair, at as crowded and res-
pectable an assemblage of the inhabitants of New-
castle as we ever remember to have seen upon any
occasion.

JOHN CLAYTON, Esq., the Town Clerk, opened
the proceedings by reading the requisition ; after
which,
The Right Worshipful the MAYOR read the
letter he had received from the Marquess of Lon-
donderry, as previously noticed. His Worship pro-
ceeded to state, that the Marquess of Londonderry
would be in Newcastle that day, when he should do
himself the honour to wait upon him and make all
further arrangements in his power; and concluded
by expressing his readinesS to hear the sentiments of
any gentleman on the subject of the Meeting.—
(Applause.)
Sir MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY rose and said, he
was at all times happy to meet the inhabitants of
this town, and they knew that if his services could
be in any way useful, they had only to command
them, and they would be rendered with pleasure.
On this occasion he had been requested to move a
resolution, for the consideration of the meeting,
which he did with feelings of the greatest satisfac-
tion. He need hardly say to the meeting how much
the country was indebted to the Duke of Welling-
ton, or how ably he had, at all times, conducted the
daring intrepidity, of the British army.—(Applause.)
To that spirit and intrepidity he (the Dake) had
always, and very properly so, been ready to do the
strictest justice. He had always been ready to ac-
knowledge, that without those daring qualities
which constituted the character of the British army,

his military talents would have been of little or no
importance.—(Applause.)--At the same time we
ought not to forget how eminently that intrepidity
had been aided, and how effective it had been ren-
dered, under the guidance of the Noble Duke,
whose reward had been such as a grateful country
only should bestow, or a hero receive.—( Applause.)
The worthy Baronet concluded by moving the first
resolution, to the effect that this meeting regards,
with pride and satisfaction, the intended visit of his
Grace to this town, which was seconded by Mr.
Alderman Bell, and carried unanimously,
Mr. Alderman SMITH moved the second resolu-
tion, to the effect that nothing should be wanting
in order to display the-feelings of honour and respect
due to the great Commander to whom the country
was so deeply indebted; which was seconded by Ge-
neral Terrot, and carried as before.
DIxoN DIXON, Esq., (High Sheriff for Northum-
berland) moved the third resolution, for the appoint-
ment of a Committee to carry the views of the meet-
ing into effect. This was seconded by Mr. Alder-
man Forster, Alfred Hall, Esq. Sheriff, proposing
that the High Sheriff of Northumberland be added
to the Committee. Carried as before.

The Right Worshipful the MAYOR concluded the
business of this very interesting Meeting, by ex-
prtssing his high gratification at the great unanimity
which had prevailed.
Mr. Alderman SMITH moved a vote of thanks to
the Right Worshipful the Mayor, which was carried
by acclamation.

Representative.—Liverpool Mercury.
CIIATSWORTH.--The Duke of DEVON-
smaR is now entertaining at his princely chateau nearly
all the neighbouring Nobility, with others from the Buxton
Wells. The matchless hall and spacious kitchen are objects
well worthy of the inspection of the curious. The graial
surprising magnificence; the sculpture and gilding alone
saloons, banqueting rooms, vestibules, and corridors are of
have been the work of years. About two hundred
strangers' beds have been set up. As to the

stranger, whilst be listens to the distant murmurs of these
rills, which are heightened by the rustling of the trees,
more frequently agitated by the north wind than caressed
by zephyrs; to these are added the hollow lowings of the
deer, restlessly wandering under their shades.
