The performance this morning opened with a Chorus of Harow's Judah; it was admirably performed.— Among the opening pieces, one sung by Mrs. KNTYITT was extremely sweet and effective. This was HANDEL'S What tiro' I have each herb and flower, which she sang via) feeling and delicacy. fiRA HAM, in Gentle airs, melodious strains, was accompanied on the Violoncello by LI NDLSY, and this was indeed a treat to the lovers of brilliant and expressive execution. One of the most exquisite performances in the first part of the morning's Concert was undoubtedly that of Misr STEPHENS— From mighty kings he took the spoil, which was beaati fir:ly expressive of joyful exultation. Another was, Angels ever bright and fair, .by Madame CATALAN!, which was given with all . her power, and all her en trancing thrill of expression. LUTHER'S Hymn was sung by Madame CATALAN!, accompanied by Mr. HARPkR and the Chorus; it was a strikingly sublime don; the trumpet and the voice ot the astonishing singer vied with one another in melodious energy, and the effect was truly sublime, with varied and increased power, in the passage," the Trumpet sounds, the Graves restore," &c. It is impossible to speak with suf f icient praise of BRAN AN'S Total Eclpse. Mr. PHILLIPS sang Shall I in Mamie ': fertile plain, with sweetness and fine expression. The second part of the Morning's Concert concluded with a Grand Chorus, from BEETHOVEN, as introduced in the Oratorio of Judah. Mr. E. TAYLOR opened the third pats, with a very fine air from Mr. GARDINER'S Oratorio of Judah, Ihey that go down to the sea in ships, .tc. It was a most beautiful and de scriptive melody. This was followed by a grand descrip tive Chorus, adapted by BEETHOVEN. The calm of the ocean, and the sudden rising of the breeze, with the vessels sailing rapidly before the wind s were the sub jects of the composition. Miss STEPHENS sang, Farewell, ye limpid springs and floods ote• SHAHAN'S Sound an alarm, from Judas Alaccabeus, was a vigorous display of his powers. The Domine labia nreo, by Madame Ca mans, possessed all the mingled expression of love and devotion. The Concert concluded with a Grand Chorus ot Bovca's. CHELMSFORD, Sur. 11. On the night of Monday last, the beautiful pheno menon called Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights . , made its appearance again in this neighbourhood. It will be remembered that last year, on the 25th of Sept. these corruscations of light in the Septentrional regions were particularly brilliant ; so much so, indeed, that m4ny persons at Boreham could read a large print at midnight. The Northern Lights on Monday night last were not quite so bright as those alluded to, but were suficiently so to attract very general notice ; and, baying continued till three o'clock on Tuesday morning, were followed by one of the most tremendous tempests we ever remember to have witnessed. From three to four o'clock in the morning, the lightning was almost one Un interrupted glare of blue and purple light, occasioned by the rapid succession of the flashes, while both sharp and ro.ling thunder was heard in several places at once.. The houses seemed to shake with it, and the rain which shortly followed came down in such quantity at once, that it found its way into the roofs of ,several house, by damaging the tiling; the gutters ana drains were soon i filed, and the water appeared next morning to have 'washed away the sand from the roads in many places. The thermometer during the night stood at about 60. and the barometer fell from 29.90. to 29.74. the storm it*regained gradually its former At Borebam, a place which, from its peen- I tion, is rather less obnoxious to tempests in the storm was so violent that most persons got some dressed themselves, while few were totally fear. Tuesday was warm and fair, and at re was an abundance of those small meteors ailing stars. such to be wished that all persons dwelling in otherwise much exposed edifices, would secure , ainst lightning, by what are called Lightning 'at is, metallic conductors rising above the , and communicating with the ground.

At High Ungar, the sails of a windmill attracted the lightoing, ic h passed from the top to the bottom; the damage, I .aever, is not etaimattd to exceed 501. At Canter -6y the lightning presented one of the grandest, yet orlul spectacles witnessed in that neighbourhood for litany years; the thunder tumbled violently, and the sand blew with the furs of a tropical hurricane. Extract of a letter of the 27th ult. from Madrid:— We learn from the Havannab, that during the arma• ent cf the fleet which was to sail ter Mexico under dmiral Laborde, several Naval Officers arrived in the land, who had been sent by the King of Spain to take IC command of the vessels cf the division. The Ad nal, who had already appointed Officers of his own nice, refuted those sent by Ferdinand. ' The King,' lid he,' was mistaken when he appointed you to posts oiich you would ill fill in seas with which you are un ,inainted, and I should consider that I should serve 111 Majesty's interests very badly by following orders 4 en from himself, which would only tend to conipro. u se hit cause.'

Ghiurgevo is observed by a detachment under the orders of Gen. Karnitoff, who was vigorously attacked on the sth of August, by the united garrisons of that place and Rudschuk, amounting to 6,000. Instead of losing his position, however, as the enemy hoped, Gen. Karnitoff defeated them, after five hours bard fighting, and pursued them as far as the walls of Ghiurgevo. The garrisons of Widdin and Kalafat had ventured to make several insignificant incursions into Little Wal lachia, and probably premeditated a more serious enter prise, as they had collected 9,000 troops almost under the cannon of Kalafat. On learning this, Gen. Baron Geissler marched with less than 4,000 men, and attacked them on the '7th of August, put them to flight with the loss of 400 killed, and compelled them to shot them selves op in their fortresses, from which they have not presumed to issue since. This success has put an end to the plunderings of the Turks, and restored security to the most fertile cantons of Little Wallachia: The troops raised in Bosnia, for the service of the Sultan, have refused to march—a rebellion appears to have taken place in that province. We may add to these details, that the deep and se cure anchorage of Kavarna is filling with vessels laden with provisions, and that the sanitary state of the army. notwithstanding the excessive heats, affords just grounds for satisfaction.

She was said to be from Viana to this city, laden with arms. News has also been received of the reduction of the Island of Madeira by King Almost's forces, on the 23d ultimo."

To-morrow a brig of war is to sail, in order to give con voy to some vessels. It is also that the Boa Nova and the Faidra do Porto have been taken; but with regard to the latter vessel , there is some uncertainty." Another letter of the same date says—" Two small brigs, ap parently privateers, have been seen of our Bar these few days past, and it is reported as certain, that a Portuguese vessel, called the Gratiado, has been captured on her voyage front Figueira to Ma ranham. The capture is also reported of the brig Boa Nova. which sailed from Oporto to ilia Janeiro.

We understand that during the late cruise, the Marine Artillery on hoard the Britannia and Prince Regent, proved highly effective; and that in the course of their practice, which was firing at a cask while the ships were under sail, scarcely a shot missed the mark. ' Two thousand barrels of gunpowder were used in this practice. Extract of a letter from an Officer on board his Alajesty's ship Britannia ' written at sea, shortly before the close of the late ex perimental eruize " Having seen it stated in one of the Papers that we Were beaten at all points by the Regent, I think it right to offer a few i remarks upon the subject. It is true the first day attic our sallies from Torbay, she beat us very numb, though not so ninth as we beat her in going in; it is also true she did beat us for two or three days after. Now then, allow me to state undeniable facts in explanation. We were obliged to set up our rigging and stays in Torbay, we also were obliged to complete r.ur water: this most decidedly altered the Britannia's trim, and impeded her sailing— for be it known Britannia is no dandy, she does not like bee stays too taught laced. Again, her bottom was very dirty indeed, but that was easily remedied, and by making het jump about a little, we loosened her stays and rigging. In addition to all this, we got rid of a great deal of water tin warel—she was then more by the I stern, and soon recovered her superiority. She is without excep tion the finest ship I ever bad my foot in; she carries sail to ad miration, and is a most excellent sea boat, but very tender in her trim; in that respect equal to soy frigate. The Regent is also a most beautiful ship, and I do not think there are two finer ships in the world, but I cannot get over that guinea pig stern—sbe looks about the stern like as old goose that bas lost all her feathers." There were a great number of Ituuian and Polish Jews amongst the crews of the Russian ships which have lately quitted this port, sad as they served reluctantly (in obedience to a Decree issued by the Emperor, making them liable to service), strict care was used, while they were here, to prevent any of them landing, let they should desert. In spite, however, of the precautions, some of them, we are informed. contrived to effect their escape in disguise. They complained much of their hard fare and usage. They were visited on board by several of the Jews of this town, and supplied with some better provisions. Notwithstanding the acquittal of Sir J. Dow.c, by the tribunal before which be was tried, it appears that some forms of the Portuguese Courts still prevent his liberation. ----- It was stated at Cadiz that the remonstrance of the English Conaul-General at Gibraltar, againu the seizure of the Peraeoerance, had been received by the Emperor of Moaocco with real civility, and restitution of the vessel was hay expected.

All England willing in an admirable manner by 242 rank GRAND SCULLERS' MATCHES. The river below bridge, on Thursday, presented a very animated appearance, the attraction being the contest between four water men. The sporting interest upon the occasion was intense. The brat match was between West and Turner for ,LlO, to row from Cuckold's Point to the Prince Regent at Woolwich. It wu de cided, after a good contest, in favour of West. The second match was between Midas (the brother of the pugilistic hero) and Yon, both good men. The betting was brisk at 6t04 on Hudson, and plenty of takers. At starting Hudson took the lead, closely followed by his adversary ; but after rowing two-thirds of the distance, Hudson's boat, owing to the extreme roughness of the weather, was swamped, and but for the timely assistance of some Gentlemen in a cutter, the consequences aid& have proved fatal. His adversary rowed the distance. The following custom is said to prevail at Munich : Every child found begging in the streets is arrested and carried to a charitable establishment. The moment he enters the hospital, and before he is cleaned, and gets the new clothes intended for him, his portrait is painted in his ragged dress, and precisely as he was found begging. When his education is finished in the hospi tal, this portrait is given to him, and he promises, by an oath, to keep it all his life, in order that he may be re minded of the abject conditi on f rom w hi c h be has been rescued, and of the obligations he owes to the iustitu Lion which saved him from misery, and gave him the means by which he was enabled to avoid it in future. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, 15:n. 12. John Spilling, a man about forty years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with committing a criminal assault upon Mary Connor, a child of thirteen pears of age. The prisoner and the prosecutrix's mother live toge ther as man and wile. The piosecutrir, since the death of her father, lived with a relative named Downey, until the Ilth of list August, on which day the prisoner came for her and took her away, saying that her mother wanted her to mind the young childreo. Instead of bringing her home, he adjourned with her to a public house, where he gave her a glass of gin and some por• ter. .He subsequently led her to some fields between Highgate and Hampstead, and there threw her down, and took improper liberties with her. She screamed out, And her cries !nought to her assistance two of the Bow. street patrol, who found the prctsecutrix lying on her back quite intoxicated, and the prisoner in the act if getting up, with the lower part of his dress in a state (1 disorder. The prisoner, upon being questioned by the patrol, said that he only took the child there to speak to her. Catherine Conoor, the mother of the child, appeared on the part of the prisoner. She said, that although she was not married to the prisoner. she might, for that he often wanted her to allow the ceremony to take place. hot she declined it, because he was not rich enough ; he was exceedingly good to both her children and his own. She coots not say how be was led into the commission of the crime charged against him ; she supposed it arose from his being intoxicated. However. the child was not injured. The Jury returned a verdict of Gliiky. and the pri. sorter was sentenced to one year's imprisonment in the Howe of Correction. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, Sart. 12. OLD COURT. Before Mr. Justice Lielamas.' and Barge Vaunran. Margaret Hartigais was charged with the murder of a child, aged five months, of the name if Maly Moore, an the 26th if August, by pouring a quantity of boil'. ing water over it. Mr. CLAagsom. on the part of the defendant, st ited, that in consequence of the child being stated in one of the counts of the indictment to be a child unknown, and pieriouslr having been de , cribed by name, be submit ted that the indictment could not stand. Mr. ADHLPHOs, for the prosecution, stated, that the indictment contained different count., with various isames, in consequence of a recent conviction ; and if it could be shown that she was guilty on any one of the counts, it was sufficient. The difficulty in question arose from the child being illegitimate. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said, he would wait for the result of the trial, when the Learned Counsel (Mr. Clarkson) would again mention the subject. Mr. Annruns stated the case for the prosecution. Catherine Crawley deposed, that she was the mother of the murdered child ; she remembered the 26th of • Angola; her child was then living, and was nearly six months old ; she knew the mother of the :prisoner, as she lived in the same room with the witness; their lodging was in Crown-court, Whitechapel ; three or four families lived in the room; on the 26th August 'he saw the prisoner for the first time in the room in which she lived; there were three or four other persons in the room ; this was about four o'clock in the after• noon; there were also three children in the room ; her child was on the bed, as was also a child of the pri soner's; there was a kettle on the fire ; the prisoner told her mother to take it off, as it Was boiling ; her mother did so, and put it on the hearthstone; the pri soner'. mothe r took hold of Toone?, one of the women in the room, and asked her what she did there? Toooey said she was in her proper place, as she was with her gi)ssip, Mrs. Smith; the prisoner then struck her with a stone bottle on the side of the head ; Mrs. Toomey said she did not expect such a reception when she paid a visit; the prisoner again struck Tooney in the face; Tenney had her child in her arras ; she then put bee child into the witness's lap, and began to fight the pri• soner, and knocked her down ; the witness: child was on the bed all this time ; Tooney did not strike the pri son. r with violence; the prisoner's mother and brother then began to beat Toone?, and the witness got up and endeavoured to part them, saying that it was a shame fur two to set on one; the prisoner screamed out " Murder r on Tooney's bearing her; a woman named Anderson came into the room and helped the wit ness to separate them.
