Extract of a letter from Newcastle upon Tyne, May 9.
As soon as the news came here of the Lord Mayor and Mr.
Alderman Oliver's enlargement, the bells were set a ringing,
all the ships in the river hoisted their colours, and Sir.
B. Delaval gave a grand supper to the corporation of
Newcastle.  After supper an elegant ball was given, the town
was finely illuminated, and the populace made a large
bonfire on the key-side. . .
