DOVER, SEPT. 26.—Sailcd for Calais, his
Majesty's packet Crucider, with the Right Hon. Loid
William Bentinck and his Lady, and other passengers. It
is understood his Lordship goes to Paris for the purpose of
passing a few days with Lord Granville, previously to his
departure for India.—Arrived from Boulogne, the steam-
packet Britannia, with the Lord Chief Baron Alexander,
and other passengers.
A meeting of the Proprietors of the Bolatios
Mining Company was held this day at the Albion Tavern,

admitted.
The Marquis of Londonderry, has, we are
told, invited the whole of the tx-Ministers to meet at his
seat, Wynyard, in the north, on a shooting'party ; but the
meeting will also be a political one, and the opportunity
will be used to consult and arrange plans for the approach..
ing Parliamentary campaign. We mentioned last week
that Mr. Peel had left Maresfield on a visit to his father,
from whose seat he will, we suppose, proceed to Lord Lon-
donderry's; and the Duke of Wellington's intended visit to
the north has already been announced in the papers. Lord
Eldon was the only Minister, who at first declined 'under-
taking so long a journey ;* but we now see it stated that,
his Lordship also has accepted the invitation.—Brighton
Gazette.
* This was in consequence of the expence of turnpikes.

THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.

PUBLIC DINNER from the LORD HIGH ADMIRAL.

CHATIIAIII, SEPT. 26.—After the Lord High
Admiral had completed his tour of inspection at
Sheerness yesterday, he gave a sumptuous enter-
tainment to the different officers in command, both
here and he Sheerness. The Captains of all the
ships on the station were invited, and the Mayor of
Rochester and some other civic functionaries formed
part of the company ; it being his Royal Highness's
intention to include all departments, civil, naval, and
military, at this public entertainment, The dinner,
wines, and dessert, which were provided by Mr.•
Wright, of the Crown 'Hotel, •Rochester, were of
the most sumptuous description.

'His Royal Highness accompanied by the Com-
missioner, and the Admiral, Sir Henry Blackwood.
arrived at the hotel, where a Guard of Honour was
.stationed, about half-past eight, and by nine dinner
was on the table. His Royal Highness, in his mil-
form of Lord High Admiral, presided, and was sup-
ported on his right by Lord Strangford, and on the
left by Sir Henry Parnell, M.P. (father-in-law of
Lord Clifton.) Among the Company we noticed_
Sir Henry Blackwood, Colonel Christie, Com Missioner
Cunningham, Sir William Hoste, Sir Richard King, Sir
Byarn Martin, Sir E. Owen, Sir R. Seppings, Sir R.
Barlow, the Hon. Frederick De Roos (lately appointed
Flag Lieutenant to the Lord High Admiral), General
Campbell, Colonel Savage, Colonel Paisley, Colonel Carey,
57th Foot, Colonel Buchanan, Royal Engineers, &c.

Shortly after the cloth was removed, his Royal
Highness the Lord High Admiral rose, and desired
them to fill a bumper There was a time," said
his Royal Highness, " when assembled as we ure in
festivity.upou a public occasion, it would have' been
thought discreditable if we departed before we got

national character, by preserving the national charac-
teristics, temperance, and discretion.. But coming
down as I do at present in a public capacity, and
assembled as we are to celebrate a public event this
evening, I think we should not separate without one
toast."—" The health of him who rules over each
department of the public service—l mean the health
of our most gracious Sovereign, God bless him."

This toast was drunk by the company Standing,
but unaccompanied, at the request of the Royal
Chairman with the customary rounds of four times
four. Shortly after, his Royal Highness took a cup
of coffee, expressed his sense of the entertainment,
and ordered his carriage. A little after eleven
o'clock his Royal Highness departed, accompanied
by the Commissioner, &c., telling his guests not to
imitate his example.
Immediately the Lord High Admiral had left the
room, Sir Henry Blackwood rose and proposed a
toast; which, after the many instances of his
Royal Highness's kindness and condescension they
had all experienced, would, he was sure, be recei-
ved by both branches of the service with entliusi,
asm—" the health of the Lord High Adiniral"—
drank with three times three cheers.

Most of the Officers left the hotel, and proceeded
to the house of Sir Archibald Christie,
.the Com-
mander of the Garrison, where there was a splen-
did.ball.

PRESENTATION OF THE COLOURS TO THE

ROYAL MARINES.

This morning, the division of the Royal Marines,
under Col. Savage, formed in their Barracks, and
with the Band at• their head; marched into the lines
about ten o'clock, where they were shortly after
wards joined by a brigade of six guns; of the Royal
Marine Artillery, .under First Lieut. Maule, who.
took their staions on the extreme right of the line,
into which the Royal Marine Corps formed, having
the centre flanked on either side by the Depot Com-
panies of the different Regiments stationed here,
and commanded by their respective Oflicers.—To the
right of the Royal Marines were a Company of Sap-
pers and Miners.. Having formed into line, which
was composed Of three lattalions of about 400 men
each, the Royal Marines forming the centre, and the.
different Depot Companies the flanks, they remained
drawn up at ease until the approach,. about half-past
ten, of the Lord IlighAdmiral, on whose arrival in front
of the line the general salute was given. His Royal
HighneSs accompanied by a large suite of Officers,
then inspected the line in front and rear.

About eleven o'clock, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Clarence arrived in front of the line, ac-
companied by the Earl of Darnley, from his Lord-
ship's residence at Cobham. The Princess Carlotti,
Miss Fitzclarence, and the Countess of Darnley, fol-
lowed in one of the Royal carriages. and four. The
spectators loudly cheered, and the Duchess appeared
much gratified at her reception.
There were at this time in the lines not, less than
7,000 spectators forming a square, which was ad-
mirably kept, of at least 3,000 feet each way, so that
every person on the ground was enabled to behold
the line and witness its evolutions with ease. That
side of this immense square in the front of the line,
in the centre of which their Royal Highnesses, &c.
took their station, was covered to the rear with a
double line of carriages, containing nearly all the
Nobility and Gentry in the neighbourhood.
About twelve o'clock their Royal Highnesses,
attended by a large train of Ladies and Gentlemen,
advanced straight from their central position to the
Battalions which had formed a hollow square on the
two centre companies of-the Royal Marines facing
inwards. Having arrived at the centre of the
square, the new Standards were unfurled, and placed
by the side of .the Duchess of Clarence. The Offi-
cers formed an inner square, the Ensigns bearing the
Colours in the centre of one of its-sides immediately
fronting the Lord High Admiral.

The Duke of 'Clarence addressed the Battalion,
and after enumerating the services of the Royal
Marines in the various parts of the globe where they
had been stationed at different times, exhorted them
to persevere, should the occasion require it, in the
same honourable course. His Royal Highness spoke
to the corps for upwards of an hour; after the con-
clusion of which, his Royal Highness presented
them with the gift of his Royal Spouse—a new pair
of colours.

The colours were then raised by' the Ensigns;
and through Out the entire square officers and men
gave three loud cheers, in which the distant crowds
around joined, and thus this interesting ceremony
concluded.

One of the colours is precisely similar to one of
the former ones, but the other has on it in the
centre a globe, surrounded with wreaths of laurel,
and surmounted by the crown, which was the only
device of the former pair, and which, at the desire
0 Majesty, they still retain. Underneath the
Globefhs
i is the old scroll, with its motto, " Per mare
et terras,_

T Highnesses and train then left the
s-quahere,iratilidoryeal resumed their position in the centre of
the line .in front.
The line then formed into companies, and marched
before the Lord High Admiral and the Duchess in
review order; and after a variety of manceuvres,
executed with great precision, Colonel Carey, the
Second officer in command, advanced from the line to
receive the Lord High Admiral's commands; who
was pleased to express his satisfaction at the disci-
pline and exactitude with which the evolutions had
been performed, and to permit the men to march off
the field into barracks. The Duchess of Clarence
shortly after left the ground for Cobham Hall, ac-
companied by Earl Darnley,- &c.

WINDSOR, SEPT. 26.--yesterday Lord DUD-
LEY arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had a long audience
of his MAJESTY; and after partaking of some refreshment,
his Lordship left the Royal Lodge for town. His Alik-1
JESTY never fails, when the weather permits, taking two,
or three hours' recreation daily in his pony phaeton, as the

PUBLIC ENTRY OI HIS GRACE THE
DUKE OF WELLINGTON INTO YORK.

YORK, SEPT. 25.—The morning of yesterday was
remarkably fine, and at a very early hour the streets
of our ancient city began to manifest that bustle
usually attendant upon a public occasion. At ten
o'clock the Hussars went forward to Hobroor-
lane, where they waited the arrival of his Grace the
Duke of Wellington, who drove up about half-past
ten in au open carriage, accompanied by Lord How-
den. The Hussars now formed a guard of honour
round the carriage, and his Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington moved forward to the Mount, where the
civic procession was drawn up. On entering with-
in the line of constables, the populace tOok the
horses from his Grace's carriage, and he was draWn
into the city. Immediately in front of his Grace's
carriage was displayed a large and handsome white
silk flag, trimmed with pink, and inscribed in gold
letters,

" THE HERO OF WATERLOO."

Gentlemen's carriages closed this elegant procession,
the whole of which had a very fine appearance.
When his Grace arrived' On the Mount, a loud cheer
burst from the immense multitude, and the band of
the second West York led off the procession in the
quick step of the " Grenadiers' March." On passing
over Ouse Bridge, several salutes were fired from the
craft lying in the river. The windows were filled
throughout the whole line of the • procession. At
about twenty minutes to eleven, the Corporation
proceeded from the Guildhall to the Assembly-
rooms, escorted by a detachment of the Lancers,
with their band. The principal entrance to the
Concert-rooms Was 'through the Assembly-room,
which was elegantly ornamented. In the Concert-
room was an arm-chair, placed on a small elevation,
with a lesser chair on. each side of it, and a table in
front. The galleries were principally filled by
ladies, who were admitted by tickets only. About
half-past eleven o'clock the arrival of the Duke was
announced at the entrance of the Assembly-rooms,
by the bands playing " God save the King." The
West York 'band had taken its station in the
orchestra, and struck up " See the conquering htro
comes." All was now intense interest, and the eyes
of everyone were directed to the folding-doors, when
his Grace, attended by his guard of honour, and by
the Committee of the Citizens, entered the room,
and was welcomed by the Lord Mayor. The ele-
vated chair was offered to the Duke, but his Grace
declined it in.favour of the Lord 3layor.
R. SINCLAIR, Esq., Recorder of the City, then
addressed. the Duke-as follows :

May it please your Grace—l am directed by the
Lord Mayor and Commonalty of this ancient Cor-
poration, to offer to your Grace their sincere and
grateful thanks for the honour of this visit. They
have
_Jong been accustomed to trace your Grace's
progress through your illustrious military life and
achievements in various parts of the world, and to
mark with admiration and astonishMent 'the sound
judgment, and exquisite skill by which you were
enabled to make all intervening incidents, occasions,
and trials, terminate in success. We may consider
it as a special destination of Providence, that your
Grace happened to be contemporary with a man of
extraordinary talents and character, whose arrogant
and frantic ambition suggested to him the wild' idea
of overthrowing all the Established Governments,
States, 'and Laws of the Earth. Your Grace was
the happy instrument chosen by Providence to put
a final stop to his mad but alarming career, and thus
to lay a foundation for the re-establishment of peace
and tranquillity in Europe We all most cordially
coincide with our Gracious Sovereign, and the rest
of our fellow-subjects, and, indeed, with the rational
:inhabitants of all the civilized. States in the world,
in thus general, just, and glorious euloginin---" The
Duke of Wellington has deserved well of his cowl-
try."—(Cheers.)

The LORD MAYOR then pre6ented to his Grace
the freedom of the City, in a ►old box, value fifty
guineas, on the inside of the lid of which was in-
scribed--

" Presented. 1)7 the Mayor and Commonalty of
the City of Yolk to the most Noble Arthur Duke
of 'Wellington with the Freedom of the City, Sept.
21, 1827, William Hutchinson Heron, Esq., Lord
Mayor." _ _

Aliing with the above, his Lordship presented to
his Grace a roll of parchment, containing copies of the
oaths usually taken by parties admitted to the freedom
of the City. His Grace, on • receiving these marks
of esteem, bowed respectfully to the Lord Mayor,
and replied nearly as
My Lord Mayor, and Gentlemen of the Corpo-
ration—l beg leave, most sincerely to thank you for
the great honour you have done me, by admitting
me to the freedom of your ancient city. This mark
of your approbation, my Lord, of my public ser-
vices, must be numbered amongst the powerful in-
centives to future exertion, and particularly so, as
the approbation 'of-Corporate bodies is always en-
hanced in proportion to their independence and re-
specta,bility.--(Cheers.)—Stranger as I am to you,
my Lord, and to'this Corporation, I attribute to
this patriotic view the honour which you have this
day conferred upon me ; and, my Lord Mayor, I
Sincerely hope that your kindness on the present oc-
casion will encosrage others in his Majesty's service
to exert themselves for the benefit of their country.
I assure you, my lord, I feel equally grateful for
the honour you have conferred upon me, as if I had
it after a long life of personal intercourse. I take
this opportunity of expressing my regret, that alio,
ther engagement prevents my stay in this city. In-
deed, I only imagined that I was going to pay a
visit to my old and respected friend Lord Howden,
and did not anticipate that I should be thus ho-
noured in passing through this city. I beg leave to
repeat my regret, that k cannot make a longer stay,
and to tender my best thanks for the honour you
have done me.--(Loud and continued cheers.)

The LORD MAYOR now again addressed the Duke,
saying that he had another Most pleasing duty to
perform. lie had been requested to present an
Address to his Grace from the Citizens at huge,
which- he would . do him himself the honour to read,
and which his Lordship then read.

The Duke of-WELLINGTON, in reply, said--My
_Lord, I beg leave again to return thanks for the ho-
nour you haVe done me this day. But I must re-
mind your Lordship, that it is not to me alone to
whom the credit of the victories alluded to is to be
of whom
attributed. There are many around me, old soldiers,
obliged to
my comrades, to whom I was much indebted, and
I can never speak without applause, 'or
think of them without gratitude.—(Loud cheers.)
His Grace concluded by again expressing his regret,
that he could not remain longer in York, he being

This speech was followed with three times three

cheers.

Grace then retired, and proceeded to
the Cathedral, where he was received by the Arch-
bishop, the vary Rev. Dean, and the Rev. W. V.
Vernon, &e. Having proceeded to the altar, the
choir sang 'that fine chorus in the Creation, " The

RECEPTION OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON`

AT STOCKTON.
(raox 'A CORRESPONDENT.)

STOCKTON, (DURHAM), SErT. 25.
Yesterday afternoon, at about six o'clock, his
Grace the Duke of Wellington was drawn into this
town in the most triumphant manner, by the tenant")
of the Marquis of Londonderry, the whole po-
pulation enthusiastically joining, with loud acclama-
tion, in honour.of the great British hero. Such an
unequivocal mark of his countrymen's esteem,
must
have produced enviable feelings in the breast of the
Noble Duke; for, most assuredly, such homage is

Ai 1%; )

the proudest reward that the patriot warrior cal)
receive.

At an early hour in the morning, a large flag was
displayed on the steeplcof the church, the bells com-
mencing a merry peal, which was regained from time
to time throughout die day. The two principal
Inns, the Dane's Arms Hotel and the Black Lion,
were splendidly ornamented with banners arfd flags
in fronts a profitsion of laurel and evergreens being
mast tastefully introduced round the windows, &c:
A beautiful large crimson and attreal-coloured flag,
bearing the inscription, " See the conquering hero
comes," attracted particular notice at the Black
Lion. The Post-office, the Town-hall, .the old
Castle, and a very great number of Ovate re-
sidences, also displayed various appropriate flags and
trophies.
A grand triumphal arch was erected, where the
Yarm-road leads into the town, and through
which his Grace and suite had to pass, on their en-
trance into Stockton. The arch was apparently
about 30 feet high. and 20 broad. It was decorated
with a profusion of laurel, evergreens, &c., and was
really grand and imposing
in appearance, Upon the
bend of the arch on each side, were the words—
" Welcome the Hero of Waterloo." At about half-
past four o'clock, the tenantry of the Marquess of
Londonderry passed through the tcwn, on their
way to Yaw, where his Grace of Wellington would
first enter into the county of Durham. The party
consisted of about one hundred and twenty well
dressed men, all well mounted, and with cockades
in their breasts. They were followed by a very
handsome open carriage, drawn by six horses, in
which were seated the Marchioness of Londonderry, '
Lady Sophia Gresiey, and the young Lord Seaham;
a band of music, in two waggon carriages, came next;
and the Marquess of Londonderry, accompanied by
Colonel Sir Henry Browne, Lord Castlereagh, Sir
Roger Gresley, &c. on horseback, brought up the
rear of the procession. As has been before men-
tioned, at about the hour of six, the loud roar of the
cannon (19 great guns being fired, as a salute, as
soon as the illustrious Duke approached the trium-
phal arch), announced the proximity of the distin-
guished visitant. To describe the sensation that
was produced as the great warrior was being drawn
up to the Town7hall, where the authorities were to
receive him, would be by no means an easy task.
The people shouted—" Long live the Hero of
Waterloo."--" Wellington for ever," &c. It' was
a scene in short, that must have been pre-eminently
gratifying to the great man that created it, for

"Without the stamp of merit,

None can be truly great and honourable."
The carriage that contained the Noble Duke hav-
ing approached to within a few yards of the Town-
hall, the Mayor and Aldermen of Stockton were
the first to wait upon him to offer their gratulations
upon his appearance; and the more effectually to do
this, a formal Address was read to his Grace by the
Recorder of the Corporation, Raisbeck,
Esq., to which the Duke made a suitable reply. The
Mayor and. Corporation of Hartlepool were the
next who offered their congratulations to the illus-
trious visitant; they in like manner expressed their
sentiments in due form, in an Address; and, lastly,
the inhabitants of Stockton generally offered the tes-
timony of their homage through an Address, which
was presented by Colonel Grey. These ceremonies
over, the Duke of Wellington and the whole of the
Noble Party in his suite, the Marquiond Marchioness
of Londonderry, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Seaham,
Lord Beresford, Sir Roger and Lady Sophia Gresley,
Sir Henry Broiene, Lady Emily Hardinge, &c.
repaired to the Assembly-room at the Town-hall,
and partook of a collation that was provided with
great taste and splendour, by the Corporation and
principal inhabitants of the town. The canopy of
state, under which were seated the Duke of Welling-
ton, the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, &c.
was very superbly decorated. His Grace's motto—

VIRTUTIS FORTUNA COMES,"

was aptly introduced in the back ground of the ca-
nopy, which was surmounted by the Royal Crown of
England, the coronets of Wellington and London-
derry being plated right and left. Immediately
fronting the Dais, or hoard of honour, at the oppo-
site end of the room, there was a fine transparency
of the Royal Arms, on each side of which a beauti-
fully painted column bore the words—

Vimiera Salamanca
Talavera Vittoria
Busaco Saint Sebastian
Almeida, Pyrenees
Ciudad Rodrigo Thoulouse
Badajos Waterloo
Festoons of flowers and evergreens were hung round
the six large windows of the Assembly-room, and
being intermixed with variegated lamps, the illumi-
nation and effect were striking and pleasing.

In adverting to the viands and the wines, it is
but an act of justice to say that they included every
thing that was delicate and excellent; the wines
.consisted of Champaigne, old Hock, Claret, Madeira,
and Sherry, and they were in great abundance.
In the course of the entertainment various toasts
were drunk. The first wits " The King," ,which
was drunk with enthusiasm ; the next was " The
Duke of Wellington, their Illustrious Visitor."
The Chairman (WILLIAM'SKINNER,itin. Esq., the
Mayor) lamented his inability to do any thing like
justice, in his best efforts to characterize the pre•
eminent merits of the truly illustrious individual
who had that day condescended to honour them with
his presence. It was, however, known to all, that
Europe had been liberated by the transcendently
great military prowess of the hero of Waterloo;
England was great in the scale of nations, and the
energies of the redoubted warrior on his right hand
had contributed much indeed to that peaceful and
happy state of things which now prevailed. He
begged, therefore, that his Grace's health might he
drunk in a full flowing bumper. It was accordingly
drunk in that manner, and with the most rapturous
applause.

The Duke of WELLINGTON rose and made his ac-
knowledgements with great feeling. His Grace ob-
served, he had already
.twice had the pleasure of
thanking them, and he did not well know how he
should find other words to express his high sense of
the honour conferred upon him. It was by the
great and able assistance lie had had from others.
that the peace of Europe was effected. His Greet:
said, a noble friend near him (alluding to the Mar-
quis
of Londonderry) had rendered the most essen-
tial service to his country by his great military ta-
kilts, and it was a pleasing duty to him, (the Duke)
to make avowal of the fact, at the same time that
be expressed his sense of the many important servi-
ces which that noble individual had rendered him-
self when in the field. The Noble Duke further ob.
served that he was happy to think the country wtao
flourishing in peace; and amongst other sources of
gratification to himself, it was one that he was per-
suaded the town of Stockton was now enjoying
much prosperity from the continuance of peace.—
He trusted it would long continue to do so.--(Great
applause.)
Our correspondent regrets, that to save the post,
he is reluctantly compelled to forbear noticing seve-
ral speeches and toasts that were given. Amongst
others, the excellent address of Lord Londonderry,
when his health an given.

MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

(THIS DAY.)

ASSAULT.

Robert Ward and Charles Barret, two boys, Under
fifteen years of age, were indicted for aiding and as-
sisting untidier boy, named Haggard, in committing,
on the 3d day of August last, an assault on Eliza
Rebecca Harris, with intent to violate her.
11q,egard was tried and convicted at the last
Sessions.'

Mr. ADOLPHE% with srhoni was Mr. PHILLIPS,
conducted the prosecution. The Learned. Gentle-
man said that, if the prison6s, by their presence and
encouragement, rendered the resistance of
.t he pro=
sccutrix more hopeless, or the expectation of relief
more uncertain, they would be egtodly guilty, al-
though they had not acted with the sam:, degree of
violence as Haggard, the principal. If thse4e were
any difference to be marked by punishment, this was
a matter entirely for the consideration of the Court,
and not for the Jury: ,
_ _

Eliza Rebecca Harris, a full grown girl, of about
It; years of age, was then examined by Mr.•131,11,-
LIPS—I was staying with my mother at Tottenham,
on the 3d of August last ; my cousin, §ophia Wil-
!jaws, came to see me, and between two and three
o'clock we went out to walk; in passing through
Down-lane,
we saw three boys sitting still on a dung
heap ; they foi:,,wed us into a corn-field. (The
prosecutrix then desi.7ibed the nature of the assault
committed by Haggard.) Whilst he was assaulting
her, she heard the prisoners say, " Don't be fright-
ened, go on." When her cousin saw her knocked
down, she ran olito procure assist:Nice, and on her
return with two men the prisoners rat:
Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST, did
not tell any one of what had been done to her uetil
a man named Patrick mentioned it to her mother;
she did not tell it to her mother because she thought
it might make her. ill ; she, howeier, intended to
make a discovery of the whole matter to a lady who
was with her mother.

Sophia Williams. corroborated the statement of
prosecutrix.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

Lionel Prager Goldsmid was brought up on his
final examination.

Some observations arose between the Court and
Bar, relative to the appointment of an assignee.
Ultimately, however, Mr. Hensman, a creditor. to a
large amount, was appointed.
Mr. HEATH stated, that when a litigated claim at
present in the Court of Chancery would be decided,

The Insolvent will be dischaiged as soon as his
notices of service have been proved to be completed,
as the opposition raised against him on a former day
had completely failed.
