Lions showed him that the D.an and Chapter were botad to maintain at the school twenty boys gra tuitously. From this, one of their sworn obligations., they escaped by small money papal Mei, fixed we the cost of maintenance in the reign of HENRY VIII. Dr. WHISTON, giving them cred.t for a doefre to in crease the prosperity of the echo l, pointed out the obligation 0 the Dean awl Charter, and sought for Its fulfilment. They (pebbled at first, sad thin declined. The Dr. was not, however, s man to let the matter drop; be had put his ghoul re' to the wheel, and on be went. He appealed from ti e Dean and Chapter to their Visitor,the Bishop of Itueuzsrza, who, by his oath (t which he also bad at p sled in the Howse of Lords), is bound to cm rect cupi'uler errors, and to see that capitular statutes are fu.filled. From the bishop he teceieed no en couragement and very scanty courtesy. That prelate evidently wished to let the subject sleep ; he delayed aasweeing Dr. WHISTON'S letters fir months; he then sought to avoid interfere:lce by a la se re'erence to the Ecclesiastical Cinemiesioa, next by the convenient and lucky illatn of hie Chancellor, snd lastly by a desire to talk matters over quietly with the Dean. Fortlfied, however, with the 1• gal opinion of Sir JOHN ROHILLT, In favour of his clans to have twenty boys maintained at lichee' by the Dean and Chapter, that the bishop was the proper authority to enforce abet. insintensece, Dr. Wnterox pressed his diocesan for a deciston. Atter some elibteen months' delay he got now; but in its stead a reference to the Com t of Charcery. There, if he choose, sad the prelate, he may being the Dean and Chapter to bolt. This was, of course, an obvious breach of episcopal duty. Fur it is 'lied) to get ril of the necessity of such litigation that the v'sitorial power of bishcps over their sleepiers exists; and when the Bishop of RoCHisTitli boa fur his liw adviser so aosompliahel a la ayer as Dr. Lesstoorox, he canoot shelter him self under the plea of inability to decide upon questions of law. Before adopting the course to which he was re ferred by de thshop of ROCHESTER, 1)r. WHISTON published a pamphlet, in which he stated the face of the eve; and enforced on the chapter the duty of fulelline is this respect their statutes by a reference to that 'oath to which they themselves bad appealed on wother occasion; and be frankly expressed the d'aestisf.ction he felt at his di.,c.sen'e cora dent in the matter. The pamphlet was, however, anything but ictemperate in it. langroge; and it was so overlaid with ezcleeisitiesl le ar.,iteg as to forb!A ar y extensive circulation. Its cb err was to increase the utility of capitular gram mar schools generally, and that of Rochester tope cially; and ibis object wee sustained by an amount of research and of curious information such as ii early to be met with in ephemeral publications. It shows that 1)r. WHISTON had bet ught great learning and gr.at labour, as well as great zeal, t 3 the task he imposed on himself. And so irresistibly was the claim on the Dean and Chapter if ROCHESTER which he had art up in behalf of the Grammar School made cut, het we castes' we had little doubt that he would have been successful without the necessity of any resort to the Court of Coancery. And how have the Dean and Chapter answered thi. p 'caplet ? They have nut been shamed by its proofs into the performance of their scorn duty. They have not attempted to dispute its facts, to con trovert its reworieg, or to ovechrow its COr elusions. And yet they could not let the pamphlet go without some reply. And whet have they done—how have they replied oit ? Why, the Dean aid Ch tree of Rochester have actually dismissed Dr. Wniseine, a pions clergyman, a learned scholar, a most competent teacher, tram the mastership of the Grammar School, with as little compunction, with as little grace, with as little consideration for his feelings, as if he bad been their shoe-black! They do nut—Lo thanks to them fir the abstinence—impesch his abilities, his competency, his horeety, his fidelity; neverthe!e-s, they dismiss him because his lareuace, his facts, his determination'', were unpleasant to them. And it is apainst this oppressive, tidiest, and ecendatuus dis missal, eat the citizens of It. cheater, in public meet log, protestel on 'Tuesday. Well they might ; for here is a clergyman degraded, insulted, and in jured, because he vindicated their rights; be causs he endeevoured to provoke his reve rend patrons to act op to their oaths; became he was di-satisfied with episcopal neglect. Had he chosen, like bispredeceseor, to c naive at the cspitular misapplication of fonds to which the grammar school was entitled, he would in time have reached the digoity and secured the profit of capitular living. But preferring duty to seiliwerce, he is dismis-ed from his effi.e becaus3 he atticked the capitular pocket.. The outrage is, however, happily too gnat an one to be quietly submitted to. The conduct of the I and Chapter has roused the indigestion of all clas•es in and about Rochester; and a subscription has been entered into to protect Dr. WIIISTOS, and to bring the dean and chapter be fore the Court of Chancery. That the law gives the I)een a' d Chapter ne power to di-alias, e'er pt for statutable (Aeneas or for income pet" ncy, the Master of Rochester Grammar School sppcers to be perfectly incredibl They might just as sell claim to dismiss their presentees of benefices whenever their manners or sermons was displeasing to them. So it is to to hoped our Rochester friend+ will first direct their attention to the illegality of Dr. WlllB7oll'B dismissal; and when that is esta blished, then w 11 be the time to assert the rights of the Grammar School to its just share of the Capitular pri perty. Tee Dean and Chapter of Rochester must first be taught decency and then hw. But what are we to think of the bishon, whose neglect of duty has ene.:nraged the Dean b n Ct apter to this outrage? Why, that his cordite' in this mstter is of a piece with the fact+ e-tabli-hed before a committee of the Ikuss of C. mini ne, teat he wuted the property of the see, firstly rn the pur chase of the new pulses, and secondly in the sale of the old palace.

LETTER FROM THRE E AND LIEUTENANT OF I A special court was held yesterday at the Council Chamber, Guildhall. for the purpose of taking steps in fur. thrranee of the resolution cows to at a recent meeting of the members of the corporate body, held at the Mansion House, in reference to the purchase of estates is Ireland. The Lord Mayor presided. and, after the usual prelimina ries, celled on the Town Clerk to read a letter which bad bees addressed to his lordship, hl the Lord Li. utPnent of Ireland, on the subject of the design entertained by the cor porgies. The letter was as follows : " Vice Regal Lodge, June 26. " My Lord—As I feel the di erg anxiety respecting any measure thin has for its object the benefit of Ireland, I boos I may be permitted to express to your lordship the feelings of tat sfact ion—l would almost say, of delight—with which tread the report of a meeting held on Friday last at the Mansion House, under the auspices of your lordship. The speeches delivered on that (*earl sn were so excellent in their tone, and exhibitei se much prudence as well as genuine philanthropy, that I meet but consider the meeting as likely to he productive of the happiest results to Ireland, and, through Ireland, to the United Kingdom. " I bane long been desirous that English capital should be invested in Irish land, becamee I think that some change ha the proprietary class is indispensable to the progress and proaperity of thin country, and will be beneficial to those proprietors who are now in • state of hopeless outmost& unlit, and struggling against &fficulties which it must, I fear, be boneless for them to overcome. However good the intentions of • landlord may he, he cannot fulfil his duties to himself and to these dependent on him, if, as is too often the cam, his property be mortgaged to its full value—that VANS being frequently calculated on the extravagant rents that a potato cultivation and the reckless competition for land have produced. " In fact, the whole sexist system of Ireland has bees base' upon the potato ; and the failure of that root has con sequently entailed universal distress. Hence so many lan led proprietors are now unable to keep down the interest ow their mortgages; tenants can no longer pay their rents; and the peasants, for want of employment, are driven upon the rate', of which the collection becomes daily more difficult. Such a state of things contains ',Rein i self AO germ of ame lioration; it cannot even remain stationary ; it must go from bad to worse : for the means of improviiment are altogether wanting, and the national resources are gradually wasting. And even if the potato was to revive (and to that all classes ars sow clinging with desperate hope). it would only bring beck the evils under which the country has been so long labouring. " It Is manifest, then, that a complete change of system, as regards agriculture, the tenure of land, the social habits of the people. has become indispensable ; and that change an net be effected by the introduction of English capital. enterprise, and skill, applied in the manner cmitemplated by the meeting at the Mansioa-house. "Desirous 'hough I am, however, that capital should be !hos employed, nothing would induce me its recommead it if I did a• ornscientiously Wien that the investment would be remunera• Ive; as it would be worse than us less to ex pend large sums of money without a fair prospect of return ; aced if than prospects were not realised, all such speculations must cease for the future. But upon that point I entertain so doubt. Fur if good land is to be b ught at a cheap rote, if secure titles can be obtained at small expense, gad if capi tal is available for igninoving the soil and rendering it pee ductive, suck an i nestatent ea :not fall to be profitable. Bat it is under those circumstances, when the Encumbered Estates Bill is passed, that purchasers may come into the market. The moment, ton, is eminently auspicious for the undertaking; because politial excitement is at as end, gentian outrage, conseluent upon the competition for land, is now very rare, and the only anxiety of the people is to obtain employment or the means of emigrating. With respect to the latter, encouragement should not be gives, as a general rule—not without due inquiry; and I was glad to observe that such appeared to Ds the opinion of the meeting at the Mansion House. For, although there are districts where, owing to the mien., subdivision of land and other circumstances, the population has manifestly become re dundant, and cannot, in the absence of the potato. find the means of subsistence, and where in conequence emigration is most desireblr, yet th. re are others where emigration is at this moment looked upon as the only remedy for existing &strew, but in which there are actually not able-bodied men enough for the cullivivion of the soil under a proper e'en& of agriculture. And it is • mistake to suppose that tie Irish people will not work ; they are both willing and desirous to work. awl when in regular emplzseatat are always peaceable and orderly. As they have lest their confidence in the potato, there will not sow be the same difficulty as in former times in inducing the occupant of three or lour acres of land to become a labourer for money wages punctually peel; on the contrary, there Is every reason is think they would greatly prefer it. I may add to eta, the tenant farmers sow no longer adhere to their eld and vicious system of cultivation, but are eager to leant, and ere grateful for instruction. " In short, from a c neon eine of circumstances, I do not I think thins is any eouutry in the world where choose could h. an bent ficially and speedily effected es in Ireland, by the ' judicious application of capital; whilst ordinary attention to the comfors of the people and the improvement of their habits, would produce contentment and confidence, en I render the Repeals of selfish gaiters innocuous. 'Of the political and social &dear tsgea that England would derive from such an altered state of things, I need say no. = year lordship ; and with respect to the many con. bustles to be looked for from the investment of espital, I will only mention, that, fir the reining of nettle, no coasts., con compete with Ireland, and that we annually pay upwards of four millions sterling for foreign En the whole of which might, with the utmost facility, be produced is this country. " If the corporation of London should now tun their at tention to Ireland, and pray* that, in the opinion of the greatest capitalists and best men of business in the would, in. vestments en Irish lead are considered safe and advents. pow, their example would be generally followed ; sad the well-being of this country, involving as it always must do that of the United Kingdom, would then, foe the ant time, be placed upon a solid and permanent basis. " I must apologise to your lordship fey the length to which this letter has extended ; and in conclusion I beg to state that there exists here the most minute and accurate statisti cal information upon every matter connected with land, population, and local expenditure, the whole of which shall be placed at the disposal of the committee in any way that may be thought most useful ; and I need hardly add, that the assistance of every official person here will be freely given, sad that no effort of my own shall be wanting in furtherance of the project which, as I venture to hope, is about to be realised by the corporation of Loudon. " I have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most faithful servant. " CLAIRIND " To the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, &e., Ate." lir. D. W. WIRE, after reespitulatias the stops taken at the former mooting, and referring to the highly enconraging statements in Lord Clarendon's letter, moved "That it be referred to a committee; to consider and re port to this mart on the propriety of purchasing estates and waste lands Lt belted, with a view to cultivate and improve the same, so mato benefit, Ireland and to give employment to its people." lir.

NARRATIVE OF • PASSZNOSR IY SRI EUROPA. The Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane &vie' , having presented to Mr R. B. Forbes, of Beaton, United States, a gold medal for his tousoge and humanity in leap ing (eve, booed from the Europa on the occasion of the late fatal collision, Mr. Forbes has acknowledged the compliment in the following interesting account of the aceidest : " To George Johnston, 800 , Chairman of the Liverpool S - ipwreck and Humane S ciety. " Sir,—ln re urning you my thanks for the medal of your society, which I reetire as a token of your kind regard rather than as a reward earned by me, it may not be out of place to narrate brie fly the ci•cuenstances of the wreck of the Charles Bartlett, Captain W. Bartlett, of Plymouth, United States, on the 27th ultimo, so far as my own expe rience enabled me to judge of the facts. " At two o'clock of the day named, not being well, I retired to my state room, in the forward cabin, and lay d.wo with my clothes on, on the settee, and soon fell asleep. 1 was sud denly awakened by a crash and a shock which I could not misunderstand. I rushed upon deck, and to the port bow of our ship, where the most appalling spectacle presented itself; the how of our ship appeared to be half way . through the bark, having entered her just abaft the main rigging, on the p...rt aide. She had all sail set; one glance at the ill fated bark satisfied me that she must instantly go down, and that no earthly power could save many of the passengers. The after hatches were obstructed by pieces of broken timbers; the main hatch was raj -lily clear, and appeared to be filled with women and children, vainly endeavouring to get on deck. I should judge that the ladder had been knocked down in the general crush. The water at this time was rushing into the vessel like a mill race. Seeing that the only chance to Save any was to lower our boats, I rushed alt, taking off my over-coat and my frock tot as I went slug, on my way, and when near the aPer part of the port paddle-box, I perceived that men were air ady clearing away the quarter boat'. I stopped to en deavour to clear away ths lite-boat, but being alone, and having nothing but a small knife to cut the lashings, I saw that my efforts would not avail in time. Just as I was aban doning the effort, I perceived a woman and a child, the letter a one tea feet from the woman, floating slowly past the paddle-box. I immediately jumped down on the gracing or asonson abaft the wheel, crying to the many spectators about the main-rigging for a rope ; For God's sake give me a rope! But every one seemed stunned and paralystd by the sudden and awful scene. A man came fl rating along alive and partially enstained by a brcken spar, the only rope thrown over, which I should otherwise have got, was thrown to tom; he got had of it, and put the nor se over hie shoulders, anti was hauled up. The first part of this act, f c the moment, took off our attention from the two floating and apparently insensible persons before al:uded to, so that by the time the man was safe, the others had .rank too far to be reached. As the sails on the main man: had not been backed,and the wind wawa the starboard quarter, the ship forged ahead end to leeward, at the rate of one to one and a half knots. Suppaing that the wrecked matter must be to starboard, I jumped on deck, and passed insmedia . ely overto the sterb. and pad le-box, aslow down on the spons, , n a. I could get, and gust in time to see a very stout man drifting *long, partly face down, and near the top of the water. Several persons were collected on the rail about the main shrouds, to whom I called loudly for a rope, owe was thrown over. about 10 or 20 feet abaft me ; I *or tmbled quickly along the side, and seising the rope, jumped for the drowning man. The rope was rather short, but luckily the ship, not being steadied by the wheels, rolled towards me; I took advantage of this, and got the rope round the man's body, and the end up, and twice passed round its own part, before the ship rolled to port again ; as I was with the man partly under water, and the time very short, this required a great effort. As the ship rolled to port she j.rked us both to the side rather rudely; I cried haul up, haul up;' hut it appeared, on subsequent examination, that the rope I had used we. the main sheet, a fear-inch cone, and that the upper tad was fast by a moused hook to the shit's ride, several wet below the gunwale, and at least eight feet below the upper or monkey rail. The effect of all this, and the continued rating of the steamer, was to drag me and my man out of water, and strain suddenly immerse us. I could do nothing but cry ' haul up,' and endeavour, at each roll in the water, to shut my mouth in time, and to try to make the rope mere secure, as it gave way a little every time we came out of water. The man weighing at least 200, and myself 175 pounds, when dry, all of which was to be sup; mud by my hands holding two round turns of a short end passed round its own part, and slipping at each ascension! Finally, some hands suconeed in getting hold dour rope, and hauled no up, so that my burden and myself wore above the water, or nearly so. At this time 1 called to one of the patty to ease down and help me to jamb the tuns, s the man was gradually slipping, in coorequence of my ergot being par tially on him. The individual, mistaking toy order, put hie foot on my hands, and on the turns and bearing down, caused the man to slip out and go down undrao crd the second time, sad apparently quite lifel es I ordered the rope Igt ao, and went again far under, but did not re ash the body. Being now nearly exhausted, I thought it thee to take are of myself, and took advantage of a boat which came to my relief. I got into her, and t Lek the bow oar, the officer (the fourth mate, I thick) putting her bead to wards the pieces of floating wreck. We soon discovered two persons. The first 1 had the pleasure of reaching with a bast-hook, hauled him up on board, and the Alter imme diately went to work on him, reporting signs of life. The other person sank out of sight while we were getting the int on board. " We continued to pull round among the wreck until there appeared no chance of saving any more, and some danger of losing those we had saved, unless proper means were used ; it being very foggy. and the ship nearly out of sight, we unwillingly gave up the search for more, a-4 re. turned on board. "Several hours elapsed before the men hooked up was brought round, so as to speak ; the other boat had, in the meantime, picked up a number, and among them the man I had been trying to save. All recovered, excepting this last one. He had a wound on his head, and it was generally supposed that he received a stunning blow at the time of the oethsion. " Although it has taken some time to write these de tails, oily one to one and a halt minutes elapsed from the time I first jumped on deck until the ship went down. I was on the port sponson ire than that time, and on the other side suspended to the main, perhaps altogether throe or four minutes more. Had the poor woman exhibited any signs of life, or the child, I could not have resisted the in.pulse to go over atter them, without a rope or any support, and, being a poor swimmer, I might have perished, amid the confusion and noise, before 1 any aid could have reached us. " Had I done this, successfully or not, I should have coo aired that the risk was so imminent, that I should not have felt any delicacy in receiving your award; as it is, I do ' not feel that I have earned it 'ay success or by any great risk. Being s& active member and a trustee of the Massa chusetts Humane Society, and having been somewhat pro minently engaged in establi.hin; life-boats and other appa ratus on the coast of New England, I can the more fully appreciate your kind motives in making me the recipient of ' your favours. " I cannot close this subject without making, through you, on earnest appeal to Ms Royal Mail Steam-ship Com pany, to provide further means to save life in case of such accidents. I attribute no blame to Capt. Lott or to his 021- eeril, but I think great praise might have been due to the company if certain means had been adopted to guard against sudden emergencies, as Are, allision, men falling over head, die. " All sea-going steamers should have some means to make skied noise very often, by a large bell, arranged to be gawk at each torn of the crank—a steam whistle—the di-- 'barge of a small gun, or some other means to give warning in foggy weather. There should be life buoys or floats in each boat, and at intervals along the bulwarks inside, ready at all times to be thrown over. Life lines at several promi nent places should be suspended—say to the peddle-box rails, the quarter nib, de. A strong and long painter should be always ready to each boat, led along and made fast to the paddle-boxes. The boats should not be so snugly emend by coins, and there should be a hatchet to each boat, so that the lashings may be readily cut. " The ships known as the ' Cunard line' are exceedingly well managed and well fitted, but it would be a libel—a cruel libel on the intelligence of the proprietors and the superintendents to say that they are perfect.

AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION MEEIING On Wednesday a rather numerous meeting of pro- teetionists of the coon•y of Notts took place at the Corn Exchange, Newark, and was etterded by alma 600 land lords and tenant-farmers. W. H. BARROW, Esq., of South well, was in the chair. The CHAIRMAN read a number of letters, amongst which was one from the Duke of Newcastle, exhorting the farmers to he firm in their opposition to free-trade, and to sti ice by every constitutional means in their power to ga back pro tection. Mr. GEORGE SToRER moved the first resolution, which asserted the great distrees of the agricultural and other classes, which was seconded by Mr. PARKINSON, of Hex g Park, and carried unanimously. B. V. P. Botthoht., Esq proposed the second resolution, "That the depression is owing entirely to recent legislative enactments, which give the lightly taxed foreigner an undue advantage over the heavily-taxed producer of this country." Mr. CROULER seconded the motion. He undertook to prove that the depression complained of was owing to recent legislation. To begin with the fountain of their calamities. Tue repeal of the corn laws had taken 101. per quarter from the price of wheat. The Tines in January had laid the low price to the improvidence of the farmers in bringing a large quantity of grain into the market toe early, and recom mended them to hold in. But what were they to do if they •uld not ? (Cheers.) Be,ides, if they were not to thrash in winter when their labour. re were not otherwise employed, when were they ? And if they did not have their straw duly converted into manure in the winter, how were they to raise their succeeding crops? The introduction of foreign cattle had mowed meat to fall Id. per pound, and had brought three new diseases, the foot complaint, the lungs comp'aint, and the small pox among sheep. (Hear, hear.) An eminent sterin try surgeon had told him that the crowding of animals togeth. r in the hold, or ou the deck of a chip, would produce such dis a.cs, and that they wool b be communicated to 'Ober; on landing. Thus the farmer, in addition to the lowness of price, had been made to suffer heavy loses by the sickness and death of his stock. The deficiency of the revenue was under heads which best showed the state of the country—under stamps, customs, excise, income tax, &a. With respect to the last, he could only say that if the farmer returned his income like the professional man, he would re turn nothing at all—(much lattahter)—but in point of fact, he had to tiny Income tax upon his income. (Cheers ) With respect to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement about the Nottingham labourers being better off on 10s. than on 125., he denied it altogether. The labourer was much worse off, because he had less piecework. Before his average earnings would be I Is. pr r week, now they were lens than 12r. The railway labourers, too, were mime ably off ; they kept constantly coming to him to give the leave to sleep in his outhouses. Look at the men by whom these measure.' had bolo passed, with Sir Robert Peel at their head. The only persons who had benefited by Sir R. Peel's measures had been those with fixed money no-1 comes, namely, the servants of the state, whose salaries had been thus practically raised. (Hear, hear.) His (hit. Chouler's) remedies were of three kiads-Ist under the head of general expenses; 2nd, ot loci! burdens ; and 3rd, of rent. Ile was of 1 opinion that considerable saving might be effected in , the expenditure of the country, not by reducing the army, and navy, against which he pet tested, but by reducing the, salaries of the state officer., in proportion to the greater cheapness of !loiter, beginning with the highest, and going down to the lowest excisemen. Under the second head he did not expect, he was aoery to say, much relief from the di minution of the poor-rates, which he found, on the contrary, would be much greaten ; but he thought somethicg might be saved in the county and police Mos. In particular, he thought the ruled police much toe highly paid for what they As to rents, he did hope that tie c marl genienten would come forward as a body and lower them; not that he thought it would remove the distress, but it w•uld alleviate it. If they did not, they would find that when the farmer had exhausted all his other resources, he would draw on the land itself, and they would have it returned to them in an impoverished condition. He sail this more particu larly to the owners of poor and midd:ing soil.. At present the landlords being able to keep their establishments wore cheaply, would secretly think free trada not such a bad thing after all, but that would be the result. (Hear, hear. Lratly, with re.prct to free trade landlords. They might to do one of two things—namely, either to come forward and set an honourable example by ?wincing their rents in pros r tion to the depression of prices, or, secondly, to exhibit their bo ka with respect to their own seient , fil fuming, so as to show whether they really made any interest on th, it money, or not. (Cheers.) Other resolutions, pledging the meeting to support the re establishment of protective duties, were passed, and the meeting broke up. SPORTING. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. BETTING ON WEDNESDAY.

APPOINTMENT OF BOAZ° OF MIALTII. A report from the commission is of sewers was read. re commenting the immediate appintment of a board or health for the City of London by the Curt of Common Council.

Her Majesty's visit is looked forward to with feelings of the liveliest satisfaction. From all parts of the country the accounts are unanimous in ex pressing the pleasure felt at the into lligence of the monarch being shout to visit her Irish dominions. As a prcof of the universality c f the feeling, I in ty refer to the leading article of the Cork Reporter, a z.alous organ of the repeal party, which says, "Loi king on her Majesty's visit as the forerunner of others, and bclieviog good mutt re-ult from any partiality enlaced by her for Ireland, we are gratified at her coming, even though on this occasion she may b•rely touch our shores." The public authorities is Belfast pre a't erdy making preparations for her reception, and her Ma;es:y may be assured of a hearty Irish welc-nne in whatever part of Ireland she may sojourn.

THE BIRMINGHAM FESTIVAL. The committee of management have now concluded their arrangem• zits for this festival. Amongst the more dis tinguished enlister are Madame Castellan and Md:le. Jetty de Treffx. whi se continewal reputation has been acs com pletely maintained in the country; joined with these is Miss A. Williams, in conjunction with Mies Hayes, for soprano pats; with Alboni, Mdlle. De Merle, and Miss M. Williams, for the matfett° portions of the perform.nce. Am :mg the tenets announced are, Signor Mario and Sims R. eves. The basses are Mr. Machin and the renowned Labiache. An en gagement with the celebrated bum, Herr Pi•chi k, has been offered and accepted, provided his Mejesty the King of Wur temberg will permit his return from Stutgardt within the given time. The choir, although unprecedentedly numerous, has, for this occasion, been selected but irons two places— Linden and Birmingham. Ti•is will prevent the annoyance arising from the diversity of manner ecquired in training, as often experienced when the vocal corps is m.embled from many various parts, and will ensure that• uniformity asiyle sot ssen tial to the perfect development of g teat musical effects. Once! the chief featurrs in the forthcoming harmonic meeting will be the extraordinary numerical force and excellence of the instrumental band, the list of which displays an assemblage of executive talent which we do not hesitate to se, will he superior to any yet brought tog, thee. No mediocrity , for the sake of filling up, w ill be found in its ranks—none iout first rote talent in every department will be employed, to ensure which the bands of the rival metrowilitan Holism opera houses, and thet of the Philharmonic Society will form the basis, around which will be rallied the remaining available ta'ent of Lenden ; and some idea of its numerical strength may be formed when we state that the stringed instrument" alone will amount to within one or two of a hundred. With such an orchestra, conducted too by Mr. Costa, under whose • - :uidatice instrumental music has arrived at en unparalleled pitch of excellence in this country, the production of such works as Beethoven's "Pastoral, ' and C minor symphonies, the symphnny in A minor, by Mondelseohn, the overtures to " Leonora " by Beethoven, " William Tell," by Roasitti, and Obeton," by Weber, the whole of Mendelssohn's " Waiver eis Night," as well as • manuetript over:ure by bim, entitled Ray Bina," and selections fr •in the " Huguenots," and" Le Propnete," by Meyerbrer (all of which will be given in the i evenings' performances), will form an attraction for the amateur of instrumental music wl•iell r. ust prove irresistible The great works for the morning performance*, and upon t which the entire force of the vocal and instrumental ensendde I will be employed, are arrauged as follows ; Fire , day, ?den t deluohe's •' Elija•• ;" second dry, Mendelasohn'a " Athialie," • and selections from the works of other eminent comp mere ; r third city, " The Messiah ;" and fourth day, the " Israel in - Egypt," and grand selection.
