THE DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND.
NEWCASTLE, MAY 20.
After dinner, at the Mansion-house, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on Wed-
nesday last, his Grace generously presented the worthy Chief Magi,•
trate, A. Reed, Req. with a cheque for fifty pounds, to be applied in
aid of the fund for relieving the seamen of the Tyne, who have suffered
greatly, in consequence of the long suspension ,of the coal trade with

This morning, being the King's Birth Day, was ushered
in as usual by ringing the bells of all the churches. Dur-
ing the afternoon, the Park and Tower guns fired the cus-
tomary Royal salutes; the ships in the river, and all the
steeples were decked with Bags and ribbands ; and, for the
evening, preparations, on an unusually large scale, are made
for a general illumination. One of the most interesting dis-
plays, however, is the intended restoration of the procession
of the Mail coaches, with their new horses and dresses.—
This procession will start from Millbank, we believe, about
five o'clock—go round to St. James's, where they will be
viewed by their Majesties, and the Court circle— and will
then proceed to the Post-office, .and disperse to their usual
duties. Its accelerators are to bring up the rear, all newly
appointed.
It is said that at the Drawing-room this day, by the ex-
press command of her Majesty, no dresses are to be worn,
but those of British manufacture.

At the Drawing-room held this day by her Majesty, Lord
Waldegrave was the Lord in Waiting.
This day Lord Hill, as Commander-in-Chief, inspected
detachments of the three Regiments of Foot Guards, and
one of the Royal Horse Guards (blue) in St. James's Park.
Colonel Millman was the Field Officer of the day. Sir
Henry Hardinge and Lord Saltoun were on the ground.
Among the illuminations in preparation for this evening,
we observe a brilliant one at Mr. Fraser's, Regent-street,
the well-known publisher of the Magazine. The words
" King and Regina" (the hitter being the name by which
the Magazine is distinguished) are tastefully brought out.
Messrs. Flight, Barr and Barr, of the Worcester Royal Por-
celainWorks,Coventry-street, display the Crown of England,
and the letter W. on a ground of Emerald green. Mr. Simpson
of Newman-street, Oxford-street, has a splendid transparent
painting of the King's Arms, with a motto, surmounted by a
large and brilliant crown in lamps. Colnaghi, Sams,
Crockford's, Athenaeum, Boodle's, Brookes's, the Colonial
Club House, the Literary Union, the United Service, and
Junior United Service, have likewise splendid illuminations
for the evening.
Of the present posture of the two armies in Poland it is
impossible to give an accurate account. It is reported
in the foreign journals, that the Russians, to the number
of one hundred and forty thousand men, are advancing under
Diebitach, to attack Warsaw, and crush at one blow the
army of the Polish General ; and it would appear from
the accounts which have reached us, that the latter is
effecting a retrograde movement ; but no inference
unfavourable to the success of the Poles, need be drawn
from this fact, even if correct; for the Polish Gene-
ral has too much good sense to risk an action in which there
is a probability of his being unsuccessful, and will
wisely retreat until he reaches a favourable position, or re-'
ceives a sufficient accession of force to enable him to make
head against the enemy.
The Ami de la Charte gives an account of the capture of
Saunter, one of the most notorious Chiefs of the bands in the district
round itre, who, with severalof his associates, was taken on the 17th.
The Courrier de Smyrne contains intelligence of the 7th
ult. from Syra, which draws a gloomy picture of the state of affairs In
Greece. It says—" The treasury is empty ; the 'arsons employed
under the Government receive only one.lifth of their salaries in cork i the rest is paid in bills of a long date. The President is said to have
applied in vain forminZutassistsnes to the tiara allied cabinets.
Thus every door is Count Capo d'lstrise, and he is un-
able to reckon upon the internal mourns, of the country. A loan of
300,000 phaeizes is talked of as twist bah peposed by him at Ns-
' poll, but subscribers could net be found for more than 10,000."
It appears, by letters received from Malta, that the re-
ports which have been cureset fur some time, as to &rudeness t
Grohs, wore well founded.
