MCSIGAL FES TIV AL-(CoNarDsD). YORK, SATURDAY NIGHT. The Conceit on Thursday night was numerously at tended, 1.170 were present. The performance; com menced with a Grand Symphony of Beethoven's (C), w!iich has btcn so r•ften the subject of praise as to ren der all comme:.t .:upe:fluous. The Tempest, by Bellamy, „ a , fi n ely given, and beautilully accompanied. A C.!ncerto on the vio:in, by KieseAetter, was one of the Tnnst b:illiant performance; we ever heard, and it drew tath the most rapturous plaudits. The splendid duetto of Rossini, Awor possente name, by Braham and Miss Stephens, was sung with astonishing effect. In the ji part, Braham's masterly song of Beverage was re• ceived with rapturous applause. Auld Robin Gray was w i elodioudy sung by Miss Stephens. A Duetto on the Harp and Horn..by Bochsa and Platt, was verreffec !ively played. Signor de Begnis excited the laughter and applause of the audience by the exquisite humour w ith which he sung and acted his farstuite Buffa Area, I violitri Patti. The Concert, which was the best of the trminsted with Gr,d save the King. The Minster yesterday morning was crowded at an em ly hOO7. The Selection opened with two move ments of ;he Dettingen Te.Deunt, which was performed very impressively. The charming air, What though l a ce, trlllowed it, and was sung by Miss Travis de lightfaliy.—Tbe Chorus, let none despair, was a very b, id fugue, and Phalli s particularly distinguished him sdf in it.--41e Dead March in Saul, and other Selec titms from the Funeral Anthem, were given with that impressive effect which the solemnity of the subject de m cided.— Vellite Exattenas, Jubilate Deo, and Gloria p o oh, were very effective. In the Second Part, Luthea's Hymn, by Braham, and i!,e trumpet accompaniment by Hai per, which seemed descend b orn the high-embowered toot upon the awe •t: tick ear, and then to dissolve into the faintest echoes, L . t ve it an indescribable grandeur. In the chorus, He reburied the lied Sea, the rolling d:ums and murmuring bass seemed like the foaming of Cie angry billows, whilst the voices, in their close enun clan- n, not unaptly expressed the steady march of the Isratlises between the walls of water. In the Third Par t, Deeper and deeper still, was given by Brabant w ith that pathos and peculiar intonation which it is impossible to describe. Tne remainder of this part Was equally successful. The perfornuncr did not terminate till nearly six. Tiv tancy ball was splendidly attended. From the calculations already made, the amount re vived is about E 20,000, and expended £lB,OOO, from which, deducting the £6,000 for the erection of the Music Hall, there is an actual profit of abaut £B,OOO. The following is a statement of the number of persona present eicl• day : MORNING.

COMBINATION. A combination on tire part of the journeymen shoe snake's, attended with 'serious hardship to the masters, has subsisted live for several weeks past. The journey men lately made a strike to compel the masters to raise their wages. In this they were successful; the masters, from the &Ili( ulty of procuring hands elsewhere,having found it recess:fly to submit to their terms. But this concecsion was no soarer made, than ne.w and harder conditions were dictated by the journeymen, and these the latter have been using the must unjustifiable Means to enforce. The combiners insisted that the masters should employ them exclusively, and in the first in stance, to do their work, without being allowed to bring strangers into the town ; or, in other words, the masters were to be prohibited from choosing their own servants. This led to the trial of is case before the Magistrates last week. It appeared that one of the masters had engaged two individuals from the country to work for him ; but on their teaching the town, they wire inter c4ted by scouts employed by, and in the pay of, the journeymen, whose province it seems is to give in timation to strangers of there being what among the number is called " a block in the place," and either to get them to join the combination, or provide them with money to proceed to annther town. With' et joining the combination, the two individuals e,ferred to assigned the " block" as a reason for not fulfilling their engagement; and, in consequence, they were brought before a Magistrate, who, after invesri gating the matter, ordained these parties to fulfil the engagement, and granted a warrant for committing them to prison in case of failure ; at the same time in timating, that if they were troubled or molested in any way by the refractory workmen, they would he pro tected and the offenders punished. It appeared in the course of the investigation, that the combination was not confined to Copar, but extends over the whole of the linked Kingdom, funds being contributed by the, journeymen in all considerable towns to support it, and' a regular correspondence being carried on with the %%hole.. In this way, whenever a place is in " block," the journeymen 'obtain ri lief from the general fund, and they are provided with " tramp tickets," which enable, them to travel from place to place free of expense t. themselves, when that is necessary to give effect to "the block." In this way they are enabled to bid defiance to the masters ; and to carry on a system, which, in its consequences, must be not less hurtful to them than to the general interests of society.—Fife Herald. , The only cases of any interest tried at the Middlesex Sessions, on Saturday, were of a nature which prevents us Iron& reporting them. EXPLOSION BP GAS.—The family of Mr. Latter, pawnbroker, in Broad-street, Ratclige Highway, were .011 Wednesday evening last, greatly alarmed by the !ordden explosion of gas, whiclt- took place on the Introduction of a lighted candle. The explosion vas instantaneous; and although several persons were present at the time, fortunately no one was hurt. It seems there ate two rival Gas Companies, and two sets of mains and pipes in the same street; and they impute the blame to ach other. During the performance of Divine Service, on Friday evening last, by the Rev. Mr. George, in Shouldham street Chapel, Bryaustone-squ4re, the congregation was thrown int., a state of alarm, by a great part of the ceiling siring way. and with the rafters tunibling Lto tlie body of the chapel, hut uo 'Kalil:AL happened. c 4 TA ST R OPIIE A I' PORTSMOUTH. : The following is an official letter on this meland subj- ct, by the Chief Commissioner of Portsma___ Doc k-yard As it is not improbable that erroneous statem-nts of the fatal accident which occurred upon the day on which the Princess Charlotte was hunched from the Dock-yard at this port, may obtain currency, it will no doubt be satisfactory to the Public to receive an au then.icated account from me of this melancholy event. On Wednesday last, the day of the launch, the tide rose so rapidly, and to so unusual a height. that the ship was obliged to be launched sooner than was antici pated ; the same great rise of water occasioned such a powerful pressure against the gates of the South East Dock in the Basin, as to cause the= to burst inwards. and to carry with impetuous violence into the empty dock the bridge which rested upon the gates, and with the bridge the persons who were unfortunately passing over it at the time, on their way to see the launch. Tire torrent of water which rushed into the vacant dock be low overwhelmed the unhappy individuals, and I grieve to say, that notwithstanding the active and prompt ex ertions of those who beheld the dreadful catastrophe, and of the boats which immediately hastened to the spot, but few persons were rescued from their perilous situations. Ti:e proper means were immediately re sorted to for the recovery of those who were picked up, in which the Surgeons of the Dock.yard were most hu manely and ably assisted by the Medical Gentlemen of the place. The following is the list of those wt:o were restored to life, and of those who are known to have perished: RZSTORSO To Ltra—Mr. Salmon, St. Georges•square, Port- I sea; Mrs. Bloomfield (a soldier's wife), the infant of ditto, the sister-of ditto; Mrs. Mitchell, of Charlotte's how, and the daughter of ditto; a boy, name unknown. " DILOWNID-Mr. Deering, a Midshipman of the Victory ; Mr. Stanfield, a Custom-house Officer (has left three children); Mr. Showers, a dealer in chips ; Mr. Hart, a slopseller, Portsmouth ; the daughter of ditto, aged 17, and nephew of ditto,aged seven; a malt servant of Mrs. o.boroc, of Broomfield ouse. Young Wornen—Froggett, aged '2O, daughter of a labourer; Knight, 18 ; ditto, 14, daughters of a sawyer. Boys—Bull, two; Taylor, 15, painter's apprentice; Hewett. 14, father a wheelwright ; Nineram, 14, father a shipwright; Leal, 12, mother a widow with seven children; Hawse, 15, father a shipwright. " Every exertion has been made to find the bodies of other sufferers, and every endeavour to ascertain wha persons are missing. From the best information I have been able to obtain, it appears that there may be still five or six bodies not found, but this is as yet uncer tain. The list already given tells a melancholy tale, but it is consolatory to my own feelingr, as it will be to the relatives of the sufferers, and satisfactory to Abe Public generallr, that no human foresight could have averted the dreadful calamity, and that it was entirely unconnected with the preparations made for the launch ; and further, that it happened at time when, most providentially, no persons were em ployed at work in the Deck ; for had that been the case, the disaster, severe as it is, would have been ten times greater. "GEORGE GREY, Commissioner. " Portsmouth Dock-yard, Sept. 17, 1823." An intelligent Gentleman of Portsmouth, who was with nine other surveyors from London, within twenty yards of the fatal spot, and in half a minute would have been upon it, describes the scene as follows : " I was within twenty yards of the bridge when I heard a scream, and looked towards the bridge ; it had the ap pearance of an inverted arch, and I distinctly saw seve ral persons run off at both ends—l should think from fifteen to twenty. In a moment a dreadful crack was heard, and another scream from the persons precipitated into the water • at the same instant a tremendous rush of water issue d the dock, which was impelled with a rapidity not to be conceived but by those who saw it, forming a stupendous wave, bearing on its surface nisny of the struggling sufferers, mingled with large fragments of broken timber, all of which was dashed with inconceivable fury against the further end of the dock, and which, from its impetuosity, again rebounded in a curling wave, whose height was at least ten or twelve feet above the level of the yard. carrying in the tremendous conflict the bodies of the sufferers, large pieces of timber, cloaks, hats, and clothes of the unfor tunate victims, and again rushed back to fill the hollow which had been crested in the surface by its own velo city. • Oh! my God! my God!' was the exclamation of the beholder ; and a momentary stupor took possession of the mind, which was affected by the conviction that, the unfortunate victims must in that instant have been dashed to death against the stone work of the basin. The silence was but for a moment ; for immediately after terwards appeared in different parts of the basin the bodies of the sufferers, some in the agonies of death, others in a state of insensibility, and one or two appa rently not much injured, but still exposed not only to the horrors of drowning, but to those of coming in contact with the pieces of shattered timber, which the agitated uproir of the water was dashing one against the other. Persons on the bank stripped their coats and hats, and were about to plunge in to res cue such as were near the brink ; but for some minutes, until the agitated surface of the water was stilled, it would have been perfect madness; and those minutes were fatal to several. There was one person, apparently an interesting female, with short dark hair, and appa rently a purple pelisse, who was uncommonly buoyant. I said to her, take hold of that piece of timber, and it will save your life. Sbe heard me. and clasped in her hand a mere chip. Some one threw an umbrella to her, but she was too fir gone to reach it. I rushed to the other end of the basin, and urged a boat to come (and they wanted no persuasion); as it passed the wharf I jumped into it. and pointed out the spot where I had, one moment before, left this female. She was gone; but we had the satisfaction to save an old man, who was lifted ashore; and again we proceeded in the work of mercy. The female rose again, I think from the buoyancy of her clothes, and was rescued by the intre pidity of two individuals, whose names deserve to Isere• corded amongst the most valuable members of society; one was a Lieutenant in the N ivy, and the other a young man in coloured clothes, who I have ascertained is a tailor of the name of Seagrove. The Lieutenant (Purvis). with a coolness peculiar to his profession, jumped into the water and got hold of this female, who was still sufficiently conscious to lay hold of him, and to hold with a firm grasp, and it seemed eats enieiy doubtful whether or not both would have sunk together : he kept her off from him, but still supported her for a long time, when Seagrove jumped into the basin to his fescue, and effected the sa e.y of both, by con veying a rope across a piece of ttm l .)er, and all were brought to shore, and ti e ternale, I understand, restored. I have heard her name, but I will not give it, lest it should be mistaken. Whoever she is, she owes her hie to these two ; and it is difficult to say which is most dcserring of praise.. Two s•ikrs also exerted • • • • selves in this work of hurtisn:ty with the greatest in. trepidity and perseverance. Ido not know how many 1 they were instrumental in saving.'lor at this moment I left the scene in search of drags, or a net, but the stores were all locked up, and the men assisting at the launch, and it was some time before anything of the kind could be procured. They were at length obtained, and every exertion which could be made, w , s made to recover the bodies of the sufferers. In the bitterness of my mind, I then went with fear and trembling in search of my own farriily i eight of whom - I had reason to believe must have been near the spot at the m iment of tTie disaster, and one of whom had crossed the bridge a minute before. It was nearly three quarters of an hour before I login! them ; and never sball I forget the , anguish of that hour." CORONER'S INQUISITIONS. Friday and Saturday, four several Inquisitions were taken before F. HOWARD. Esq. Coroner for the Borough of Nrtsmouth, at the Navy 'rave''', in the parish of Portsn, on the bodies of fifteen persons drowned in Call Place Dock, by the melancholy occurrence of Wednesday last. Althou i d: four Inquisitions were taken, in cnnseque , ce of the removal of the bodies nf , the deceased by their fiiends, the same evidence was' given in e Ich, with the exception of that of identifica tion by their !ever.) surviving friends. The following is the deposition of the only witness to the facts ad , duce.' as the cause of death 6eArge Harvey, of Church•road, near Kingston Chureh, in the Borough of Portsniouth, deposed, that he i\ a messen.:er to the surgery in the Dock-yard; on IVedhs.sday, the 14th inst. the launch of the Princess Chrrlotie, a large shi p of war, heel been appointed to take place ; an immense concourse of people had assem bled to witness the sight : in passing through the Dock yard, they had to pass along several bridges of the dock locks, in order to get near the ship about to be launched: these bridges, which are of a temporary con struction, were formed of four planks, supported by iron staunchions, fixed on the top of the flood-gates, which are kept closed by the force of the body of water on the convex ►ides. At about five minutes before noon on that day, the bridge constructed as before described, over the entrance to the Call Place Dock, was those hurrying over towards the launch ; the water in the bash: was very high, in consequence of the spring tides, and witness conceived that the immense pressure of water upon the gates without the suppor t of a counter balance on the o:her side (the dock having been pumped dry for the purpose of receiving the launch), the lock gates were suddenly burst, and the bridge, with those on it, at the same instant, carried into the abyss below. The bridge gave way first in the centre, which he thought had allowed those on either end to get away. He thought that altogether there might have been thirty persons on the bridge ; he was stand ing at the distance of one hundred yards at the period to which he had been alluding. Every assistance was immediately procuted, and twenty-three were got out of the dock; of these seven had r. covered, but tne de ceased were not Pound till life had been some time extinct. The CORONER observed, that the unhappy notoriety of the circumstances connected with the death of these unfortunate beings rendered it unnecessary for him to occupy their time beyond the remark that no blame appeared to a'tach to any individual, and from the evidence they had heard he could not doubt their speOy return of a unanimous verdict. The Jury, which was highly respectable, then returned a verdict of Accklentai Death." There re ;tins one body (that of Jentima Froggett) for the Inquisition orthe County Coroner, by reason of the removal of her remains beyond the limbs of the Borough. The gates of the Call Place Dock were constructed twenty-tour years since, upon a plan devised by General Bentham, but strongly opposed at that time by all the mechanics of the Dxk-yard. Four docks open into the basin. The gates of another (Barfleur Dock), is of the Bentham construction, and by a strange coincidence, in point of time, gave six inches from the acuteness of its angular centre. It was immediately shored up on the dock side s and is now considered secure. The Bellerophon, Fly brig, and two cutters, have been removed at flood from the basin. Many are still the applications made at the dock-yard gates for lost friends. Upwards of one hundred grapplers have been unre mittingly used, but their utility has been impeded by the blocks (for keels of vessels) at the bottom of the dock. The following persons of distinction have arrived at Brussels:—the Duke of CUMBERLAND and suite, from Coblenta; the Prince of HESSII HOMSURG, Governor of Luxemburg; Admiral Pencv FRASER, from Lon don ; the Duke Da VINFANTADO, from Amsterdam ; Chevalier BRUNET, Russian Consul• General in the Netherlands ; and General NIXITSCH, in the service of Russia. It appears by the letters received from Paris, on Sa•J turday, that the amount of conversions of 5 per cent. into a 4 per cent. stock does not exceed 1,000,000 francs de rente. The books for receiving assents to this form of conversion, close on the 22d instant. Tuesday night, a young Lady of Loughborough, respectably connected, eloped from home, and was mar ried to a young man of Barton on the %Voids, 'who had formerly been her father's footman. Professor HARDING, of Gottingen, on the 23d ult. discovered a new Comet in Orion, without i tail, which travels rapidly to the south. Three new Comets were visible at once on the 24th of August ; Loa d COCHRANE is expected at Portsmouth. It is now said that his Lordship will certainly return to the Bra ails in the Piranga. Thethip is lying at Spithead, quite ready for sea.—Hconpshire Telegraph. The grain throughout she South of Scotland is for the most part secured. The oat crops have been more than usually productive, and few people can remem ber so fine or so early an harvest. It having been discovered that the defence of persons accused of nameless crimes is provided for by a public put se, and the same means having been used to buy off witnesses, Goveinment, it is said, have resolved to take up the prosecutions, that public justice, in cases so loudly calling for it, may net be evaded. Last meek a Court-Martial was held, on board the BRITANNIA, in Hamoaze, for the trial of Mr. HENRY HARMSWORTII, acting Second Master of his Majesty's ship AURORA, on charges of •misappropriation of ad rious articles of provisions, which being partially proved, he was sentenced to be dismissed from his ship, and rendered incapable of serving as as Officer fir the space of two years. The Greek Committee of Pali' has published at great length a note relative to its operations. It ap peals that the receipts up to this time amount to tgo,ooor.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, SEPT. 19. Last week, there was a tolerable fair supply of most kinds of Grain, for this season of the year.
