(Applause.) Beereatioes form • necessary part of every well-ordered lice. The greatest and best of men have acknowledged this truth, and acted upon it. I Lave ist•en been interested and pleased to observe that out of thorn beautiful little poems, the Sonnets of Milton (only It in all), two are invitations to private friends to unite with him in social enjoyments. There is one of them, that addressed to his friend Cyriae Skinner, I shall read to you, not only because it is appropriate to the present ucca ion, bat also for its iniriesha b gut) , ; and moreover, and principally, because I a persuaded that is directing your attes'inn to poems which breathe the inmost &clings of our greatest poet at die. onset periods of his life, I shall oe opening a Low SCUM of phantasy to all who hear me. Atter reading the poem I alluded to, commencing" Cerise, whole grandame, &c.,' the chairmen continued : The use of recreation, to borne the words of the eloquent Bishop Taylor, is to strengthen labaur I and to sweeten net but, as he quaintly and jurly adds, • lite made up of amusements would be as preposterous as • garment impacted of fringes or a feast composed of MUM. ((Laughter an appleueej It it a jus: remark that be the anthems's: of pleasure two and two do not always make four. If we would **joy amusements we mast ru ches. that enjoyment by previous labour; and the best prepare isa for the relaxed., of the evening is the assiduous discharge of the duties of the day. (Hear, hear.) The ' great poet whose liars I bare quoted was dee ply sensible of this No gam could be more conscious that he had a task to perform; none more exemplary in the improvement of hi. time. He speaks of himself as having been in his you.h accustomed to apply to his studies long before the earliest bell had summoned the mechanic to his daily task ; and in a sonnet addressed long afterwards to the same dear fated, when he had been three years totally blind in consequence of his imams application to the composition of his oeleonied defence of the peo o le of England, after adverting to his blindness this is the strain in which he writes: i• Yet I segue not Against Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot 0: heart or h-pe,__• but still bear up and steer Right onward. Whet nipples me, dost thou ask The conscience, friend, to have lost them, o.erplied In liberty's defence, my noble task, Of which all Europe talks from side to side. This thought might had me through the world's vain meek, Content, though blind, had I no other guide." (Applause.) A Milton appears but once in the lapse .1 ages, a reader his country illustrious end to acquire for himself isaperiseable name. We are neither sit cal with the ex leaordinery powers nor celled to the stupendous labour lie andertook and performed, but each of us has his &noted task, end oar happiness depeads upon that fidelity and earnest ases with which it is baffled. The Athendom was esta blished to enable the young ram, the middle elate, to become meetly el the impetant situation in which they are placed, of the win emewry to which they belong, and of the free seed oyleesed government under which they live.

We thick, however, that a weecial alteration might be made with oat resort to nay smears so extreme. Kid &miaow. n orh .?ley, and &airport li e in close prox i m i ty. u o i to d o ,populations amount to 24,000—their e l ec t ora t e ' :0 United, the bad in fluences which disgrace btAb Plum would he neu tralised, and a large borough ifutild be formed which might look for honourable repressataiLin. The union of thew places was expected at the no:ied of the Reform Bill, and it was probably only the belief that Bewdley would remaio aWhig borough that induced the geveroment to allow it to retain a member. We have reason to think that an elision of the two places for Parliamentary purposes would not be objection able to either party in either town. If there was dissent to such a proposition, it would come from parties who probably ought last of all to be consulted upon such a subject. OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM BEWDLBY AND STOURFORT.—(oows.unze). The Committee thought there was nothing in the cop made spinet Sir Thomas Wineington, and that it did sot require an answer. There were other allegatione of personal bribery against Sir Tomas, but they appro. to have been all abandoned. Against his agents, however, there were more substantial ac cusations They resolved themselves mainly into allegations et sending people out of the way. There was one as in which balf-sekizen voters were sent a week's tour in Warwicluthire and Staffordshire, to see Leamington, pay an Aressologicel visit to Warwick Castle, afterwards to inspect the iron works war Wolverhampton, and then to return in their .so- risge to Bewdley just ia time to poll for Winaingidil. These voters, however, all deposed that they wait of their own free will, sad to keep out of the way of Mr. Irelind's mob. So this charge did not come toss*. The next was an allegation in which Sir Theses Wineington's principal agent was personally im plicate& A man named Bennett, by fade a curvier, end by profes sion • proems server, at Stem/poet, swore, that au evening previous to the election, he wet Invited to eall es Mr. Elefie, whom be saw in a Rime room blade ea empty house. Mr. Blois 'eked him if he could go to Sturbridu (10 miles off), and mill upon • geatlantan named Mimi', who M High Bailiff of the Comity Court, eliedrman of the Board M Guardiaas, sad a staunch supporter of the liberals in Waresstseshire. Bennett mesented to go, and he swore that when he got to Sturbridge Mr. Akroyd palled out hie puree sad gave hint five sovereigns. He then told him that he suet p to Loaden—that • man armed Perkins, kis under-bailiff, would drive him over to Birming ham, and see him off by the railway, and that when he got to Leaden he was to go to the Paetaia Tavern, is Primes street, Ciakied.strest, when he would meet a person who had 604 For hiss. Bennett ales swore that Mr. Akroyd pro- mised, ea his raters, to appoint him his ender-bailiff fee the Stourport division of the crest, court district. This ens was evidently considered by Counsel the sty' eget t that had been made out against the party, and proportionate effects were made to rebut it. Mr. Akroyd wee bought up to Loudon. He swore that the whole story about the 601. was false: that Bennett was a man who bad been far • long time bothering him for the place of under.bailiff: that pre vious to the election, he same to hire at fiteurbeidv, and told him that ha was as elector of &carport, that he was desirous to vile for Sir Themes Winningtos, but that he owed • large amount for rat, sad that he leered if he re mained at stature' be should to obliged to vote for Mr. Ireland. Upon hearing this, Mr. Akroyd swore that "in order that he should not be compelled by his neeessiu eitcumetances, to vote against his eonseienes," he advarr.ed him 61 to go to London, end at his own request noon mended tam to the landlord of the Phenix Tavera. In addition to this, Mr. Blgie swore that the allegations of Bennett relative to what pissed in the private rout were false ; that Bunion bad told ha he was fearful of being coerced by his landlord to vote for Mr. Ireland; and that, suspecting he was driving at a bribe, he would say nothing to him ; that Beone.t tiara asked him if he knew Mr. Ak• royd, end mentioned that he had applied to that gentleman for a situation in the County Court, whereupon Mr. Blois said that he could sav nothing about ea appointment during the election. The weight of evidence upon this matter was clearly against Bennett, andb is probable that the Committee, ooseidering the case generally, so far as it had gone, would have seated Sir 1 homes Winning ton, had not a circumstance occurred at this point of the proceedings which destroyed all hope, and which was certainly about as singular as any occurrence upon the records of our Committees on Elections. There had been some evidence given of an exten sive system of treating in Bewdley and Stourport, both on the occasion of this contest and in 1841. Nothing definite, however, had bees established : indeed, the charge of treating, as a part of Mr. Ireland's case, may up to this p, int almost be said to have failed of proof. But it so happened that, in the crone-examination of Mr. Elgie, the opposing counsel asked a question concerning certain bills for wines end spite, which had been stated to have been sent in to the liberal agent. Mr. Elgie appeared extremely anxious to explain about this, and in doing so re ferred to a bundle of pipers which he had in a bag beside him. In some way or another, the cross-exa mining lawyer got scent that this bundle contained nothing more nor less than the bills from public houses at which there had been treating daring the election! One by one, be made the unhappy solicitor for Sir Thomas Winnington produce every bill in his pee seseion. The accounts at the Cock and rye, the Ring o' Bells, the Labour in Vain, the Severn Prow, and at all the rest of the thirty public houses open in the Wiunington interest at Be wd ley and Stourport,were, to the horror and dismay of Sir Thomas sad his counsel, Lad before the committee in their virgin integrity ! Mr. Serjeant Wrangham's hair stood on end, and lifted his wig three itches off his forehead. It was to no pur pose suggested that these " refreshments" were only supplied "to Sir Tbomu Winningtou's tenants, to the band and flag men, the men employed to watch, and to the mob in the streets." In four minutes the work of fourteen days had been undone! The Com mittee derided, unanimously, That Sir Thomas Wiaellidtoe, Bert., was, by Ms agents, guilty of treating, by 'OW meat, drink, sod entertainment to the voters after the teats of the writ. That it has been proved, that a practise prevailed at the last election, as well as in 1841, of carrying away sad treatise elect re. I That, in consequence of this system. very lane holies of Ism were stapler / id on both sides for the alleged protection iof the voters, and that almost every public.house end baukesse in the borough was kept open during the elu des, end drink Moen away to a lento extent. Seek was the result of the Bewdley petition : the sitting member unseated, the unsuccessful candidate disqualified! Both richly merited their fate. And no doubt they were !rarely punished. The costs of the election and petition are said to have amounted early to 12,0001. Heavy biller remain unpaid on both sides to this hour, and are the subject of great bitterness in Bewdley. The representation being voided under the report of the Committee, the con iitneney bad to lock out for a new member. The liberals brought forward as a candidate the Hon. Spencer Lyttelton, a brother of Lord Lyttelton, whose family anciently exercised in fluence in Bewdley. The tories chose Viscount Man deville, eldest son of the Duke of Manchester, who had unsuccessfully contested Westminster on tip National Club interest at the general election. Two worse candidates could scarcely have been seeds& Neither of them had two words to say for himself, se, except on mere miserable party cassitterations, was there spin to choose between them. This election took place in April, 1848. It was conducted decently, foe the town had had a lesson. The result, however, was scarcely doubtful from the first. Mr. Roberts, who had observed neutrality in favour of Sir Thomas Winaitigtoe, brought his fifteen voters to the poll in favour of Lord Mandeville. The noble lord was accordingly returned, the numbers being for Mandeville 171, for Lyttelton 188. This poll shows how uselessly the monies of Sir Thomas Winnington and Mr. Inland had been squandered.

SERMONS NOT COPTRIGHT.—A case, whilish has excited considerable interest, was decided by the Sheriff- Substitute, at Paisley, on Saturday. The circumstances out of which the ease areas are these:—The Rev. John Mae nsaghtan, of the Free High Church, lately preached a fare well sermon to his congregation, prior to bar departure for Rosemary-street Church, Belfast. At the delivery of the dilemma Mr. W. Wilson, editor and proprietor of the Res freeedure Advedtser, attended and took full short-hand notes, with the view of publishing the sermon. After Mr. Wilson's intenlion became loosen to Mr. Meenaughtan, the i latter gentleman applied for an interdict to prevent the ap propriation of what the reverend gentleman maintained was copyright. Mr. Wilson held that sermons were sot copyright. The interdict was, however, i/ranted In the interim ; the cue went to trial in the usual wa , and, on Saturday lut, the sheriff-substitute (Mr. R. , Glasgow), pronounced an interlocutor recalling the interdict, and finding the pursuer liable in ex penses. In his note, the sheriff-substitute says It is with some hesitation and doubt as to his view of the law, that in the absence of any authority, directly bearing on the point, he has pronounce d this decision. The statntes don't embrace compositions of this nature ; and it is, therefore, necessary to consider the rights of parties at common law. It is said by the pursuer that a sermon ought to be protected in the same meaner u plays, which, although made public by performance in a theatre, ars still, quoad printing, and, independently of statute, held to remain the property of the author, and to be still unpublished, so that the author, or those deriving right through him, shall have the exclusive right of printing;— and in affect they remain in the position of a nisnusaipt not yet given to the world. There is much plausibility in this reasoning. But there is a difference between the two corn mittens, or rather in the mode of the oral publication wkki, in the Sheriff-substitute's opinion, places them in a Many different position, so much so as to prevent the argu ments applicable to the one having any force in regard to the ether, and it is this :--The dramatic author (or the Isms. alike theatre, who must be held to be identified with the author, as respects the performance, for it is only through the author that he is entitled to bring it on the stage) does not give his composition to the public indiscrimi nately. He only gives it to each person who pays for that pd. vilege:the right to hear it. It is a private transaction with each individual who gains admission to the theatre—a trans. action for onerous causes—a sale to the hearers. A church, on the contrary, is open to the public generally. The see- MOM is given to the public for universal edification—it Is published to the world, and what is so published can no lsimer be considered as the private property of the publisher. Thy view of the cue is strengthened by inference from the late statute 6th and 6th Will, cap. 66. That act extended the privilege of copyright to lectures by private lecturers, but not to those delivered in colleges, to. Thus proving that it was so given in the tint ones, on account of the pri vats sale by the lecturer, to each of those who pays for the privilege of h earing while, in the latter, the lecture Is given .o the public, and therefore becomes Wilk property. It is also of importance, though not conclusive, that sermons are not included in the statute."— The Sodanoato.

PARIS, OCTOBER 31.—Yesterday was the day of d ie of the celebrated Chopin, whose untimely death has deprived the musical art of one of its brightest ornaments. i;i! remains had been em balmed and deposited in the church of the Madeleine, where a great funeral service took place previous their being carried to their final place of rest, in the cemetery of Pere la Chaise. His devoted friends and admirer', who had resolved that every honour should be done to his memory, determined that the Requiem of Mozart should be performed for his funeral ob sequies, he himself having often expressed his en thusiastic admiration of that divine work. The doors of the church were opened at eleven o'clock ; and, at noon (the time fixed for the compnenoement of the funeral service), the vast area was filled by an mom blage of nearly three thousand persons, all of whom had received special invitations, as being entitled, from rank, from station in the world of art and literature, or from friendship for the la mented deceased, to be present on so solemn and melancholy an occasion. The coffin was under a catafalque which stood in the middle of the area. The semicircular epos behind the steps of the altar was screened by a drapery of black cloth, which being festooned towards the middle, gave a partial view of the vocal and instrumental orchestra, dis- posed, not in the usual form of a gradual ascent from the front to the back, but all on the level of the floor, an unusual arrangement which at first surprised and disappointed me, u I feared its effect in deadening the sound; but it turned out to be advantageous, es it lessened the echo or reverberation created by the peat sonority of the building which, after all, was occasionally felt in loud and rapid passages. The solo voices were—Madame Caste Han, as soprano, Madame Viardot Garcia, as contralto, Alexis Dupont as tenor, and Lablache as hare. The insiramental or chestra end chorus were those of the Conservatoire. While the body was being slowly brought from the vaults in which it bad been deposited, the orches tra executed a funeral march composed by Chopin himself, being taken from one of his sonatas, and in strumented by Henri Reber, an artist known by several works of great merit. It was simple and solemn, and had a very impressive effect. The funeral service then began, Mozart's " Requiem " being incorporated with it. This most celebrated work (as your musical readers know) is a mass for the dead, and cannot ba properly performed unless in a catholic country. The different movements are quite detached from each other, forming parts of the ser vice, a large portion of which consists of the prayers which are simply chanted by the priests. In Eng.and it can be head only as a concert, performed without interruption from beginning to end ; a mode which ruins its design, by bringing together movements whose spirit and effect depend on the intermediate matter which separates them. Th( se inspired strains, the outpourings of a spirit already almost in the world of spirits—for Mozart felt that he was composing his own Requiem—had an effect yesterday which I had not even conceived. The un rivalled perfection of the execution, aided by the sad solemnity of the occasion, produced an impression at times quite overpowering, and many eyes around mo were bathed in tears. Lablache appeared in all his greatness. In the " Tuba mirum spargens @intim" his voice and expression were awful, and, throughout the piece, his notes, like the diapasons of an organ, seemed the basis on which the who'd harmony rested. No language can do justice to the two quartets—the imploring " Resardare, Jesu pie," and the sweet and tranquil " Benedictus qui venit," as sung by four such exquisite voices ; and the grand choral fugue which begins and ends the Mass was full of majestic grandeur. I now, for the first time, understand the Requiem of Mozart. The organist of the church, M. Lefebure Wely, per formed two touching preludes by Chopin, and a vo luntary or improvisation. The organ is magnificent, and the organist is evidently a great master. When the service was over, the funeral train left the church and moved towards the Pere la Chaise. The chief mourners were the aged and venerable Prince Adam Czertorielei (who, as well as the younger memberfBTlMe family, were among the warmest friends of the lamented artist), Meycrbeer, Camille Pleyel, and Eugene I)elacroix, the celebrated painter. The pall-bearers walked on foot, and the bier was followed by a long train of carriages. When the body was consigned to the earth, among those who stood round the grave were several ladies who seemed absorbed in grief. One of them was Madame Tendrzejeviez, Chopin's sister, who had arrived from Warsaw a short time be fore his death, and had the melancholy satis faction of soothing by her affectionate:care his suffer ings in his latest hours. When all was over, the large assemblage slowly separated ; and thus ended one of the most striking and affecting solemnities I have ever witnessed. It is impossible to give an idea of the sensation crested here by the death of this highly-Kilted man. His life and character seem to be the th one of every conversation ; everywhere the highest tribute is paid to his qualities as a man, as well as to his genius as an artist; and everywhere the deepest grief is ex pressed for his early death. He was only in his 39th year. His brief career, though brilliant, has been quite uneventful. Born in 1810, in the neighbour hood of Warsaw, he gained at a very early age, great reputation in Germany; but having come to Paris in 1831, he has, ever since, resided almost con stantly in this city. — Last year he spent a part of the summer, fi rst in London, and afterwards in Scotland, Iwhere he visited several families of distinction, whe were much attached to him. In London, he gave several concerts, at which he was listened to with delight, by the most accomplished lovers of the piano forte. In Scotland he was struck by the national melodies of the country, and took great pleasure in playing them, which be did with the true Scottish spirit, throwing into them at the same time the most exquisite grace and delicacy. As a composer and pianist, Chopin stood quite alone, and, in my opinion, unrivalled in some of the highest qualities of an artist. Thoroughly versed in all the learning of his art, in the use of its resources, he followed the track of no predecessor or contempo rary. He neither took for his models the great works of the classical school, which, how ever, he regarded with due love and reverence, nor the " fantastic" productions of more modern date which have become so absurdly fashionable. He fol lowed nothing but the impulses of his own genius, using the sounds of his instrument as the language of his thoughts. Hence he did not compose large works constructed according to conventional forms. He sought to express a sentiment or a feeling, or to con vey image to the laterer's imagination : and this was done the piece was finished. His most beautiful pieces, accordingly, are short and con densed, but exquisitely finished—diamonds of small bulk but of the purest lustre. The only forms he less adopted are those of the national music of his own country, of which the ro mantic melancholy was congenial to his own spirit. It was in the polonaise., mazurkas, and waltzes, that be embodied many of his most beautiful and pathetio Inspirations. His playing was not, any more than his music, made for spacious halls and numerous as semblages. He did not force the tones of his instru ment to make them heard by a thousand persons, nor did he seek to astound his:audienes by mimicking the thunders of the orchestra. Though his execution was boundless, yet he never made it the means of display—a thing which above all others he despised. Yet his touch, though of matchless delicacy, was not feeble or monotonous. It was full of variety, and its energy and strength of expression were as remark able at one time, as its refinement and ethereal light ness at another.
