The Devon and Exeter Grand Musk al Festival commenced 'on Monday se'nnight, at St. Sidwell's new church, Exeter, when HANDEL'S celebrated Ora torio of The Messiah was opened by Madame CATA LAN!. The audience consisted of nearly 1000 persons-, PANTHEON.—Last night Mr. Count's Opera of The Travellers was brought out at this Theatre with more splendour, skill, and taste, than have been dispt:yed iu any of their former exhibitions. The dresses, sce nery, and decorations, are happily appropriate, rich, and well executed; and a new scene, of Mount Vesuvius, is introduced, not given in the original performance, though prepared by the Author, which .is very beautifnl. Proper judgment and authority have been exercised, in this instance, in not permitting the Performers to introduce their awn airs, or airs at least foreign to the piece, as they have done on other occasions, to the ruin of all integrity in the character of the drama they had to ' perform. The Travellers have been brought out un der the eye of Costar himself, the Composer, and it does high credit to his science and instruction.— He WAS admirably seconded by the orchestra, as led by Mr. SHAW, and the music went off well. Miss SINGLETON has talents that would, With proper culti. vation, make her an admirable singer. Miss Gue vara joins to a voice, the lower ones of which are eXcellent, the good taste of avoiding all those super abundant cadences in which most of those around her indulge themselves, without the musical power to make thcm either brilliant or affecting ; and she is also a sprightly and graceful actress. The Opera was received throughout with great applause, and promises to be attractive. Sunday se'nnight Robert Wood, private in the North York M litiA, fell down and immediately exe pired in the Giccn, Glasgow, when attending at the evening pude. Monday se'nnight Edward Limerick, belonging to a coal boat which Plies on the Glasgow cAtial, tell overboard in Port Dundas harbour, and was drowned. He has left a wife and four children. Saturday se'nnight, at Greenlaw, two labourers were overwhelmed •by the fAlling of a bank i one of them was killed—the other is recovering. Monday a powder mill, at Cosawes Wood, in the parish of Gluvias, near Penryn, belonging to Mr. Gill. blew up with a considerable explosion. No lives were lost. and only one man slightly scorched. Saturday se'nuight, about half past nine o'clock, a large meteor, or ball of fire, passed over Glasgow, in a direction from nearly south to north ; its durauon might be about half a minute, and its brilliancy WAS so great that a pin might have been picked up on the streets. It was also wen in different places many miles round that city. A few days since a fire broke not in the farm-house of Mr. Glyn, of'St. Stephens by Launceston, which, netwitlistandiag ir happened in the forenoon and mediate assistance was given, entirely consumed the same. The furniture was mostly preserved. Sunday se'noight a fire broke out in a thatched cot. rage at Gladswood, neer Edinburgh, belonging to W. S:11BAI ! D o Esq. which was entirely consumed, together with a barn and granary adj,ining. No part of the property of the - cottagers could be saved. Thursday morning, between three and fon r o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the Drying Kiln of Messrs. Nevile and Sowdin, of the King's Mills, in Leeds, which consumed the stock of grain and ma. . chinery in that place, and reduced the building to mere shell. - Saturday as Mr. R. a Pyrotechnician, was pre. paring some fireworks, at a small teneutent in White Bear Gardens, Kingsland.road, a Tiantitt of powder exploded,-by which that, and two other tenements* were entirely destreyed; and Mr. and ,Mrs. R. so shockingly burnt• that the, were carried to the boss pital without hopes of recovery. Sunday afternoon an alarming flee broke nut, at the house of Mr. May, plaisterer, in James-street, Ox ford-road. It was first perceived in the first floor. wherethe flameburst foith with great fury, the windows being open. By the timely arrival of the Mary-lii: bonne engine, together with the exertion of the neigh:: bouts, the fire was got under. The first floor, with the furniture, was almost entirely consumed. This is doomed to be an Age of Wondersl and those Wonders are rendered doubly singular by their uniform plurality, for example—One Comet at a time was a rarity, now we have two ; One Victory in a month satisfied the most ardent lover of his country, now we have two; where we had one Capital Prize in a Lottery, now we have two ; and even the fortu nate Days of Drawing which were lately limited to one in each Lottery, are now increased to two. We scarcely-need add, that the first of these is fixed for the 17th of September, when the purchaser of ma Ticket will obtain two Capital Prizes. A LUCKLESS Wrr !--The admonition of Etiot.

It is scarcely ne cessary to add, that the joke was never forgiven, and the poor parson went without the promised living.

The other humcrously answered. 1.0 would scorn to pay an evay compliment. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The following are the principal alterations made at this Theatre during the recess, with the new decorations :—The Prosce nium has been widened one foot on each side, by put ting hack the pilasters, which are now of Brocatelli Sca,gliola. From them springs an eliptical arch, the centre of which rises to the height of the ceiling, the whole forming a species of'cove. It is divided into compartments by burnished gold, mouldings and stiles, with wreaths of oak,„ and the double rose of . England. The Thistle and Shamrock, in gold, are likewise introduced.—ln tire centre of each com partment is a silver branch of palm ; all these orna ments are carved in bas relief. The King's arms are placed upon. the entablature in the centre, below the arch : they are carved in afro retinas, and gilt.— The ceiling is made flat; and supported by pillars on each side ; it is divided into compartments, coloured and enriched in a manner corresponding with the rest of the House. In a richly-carved ornament forming the centre, the. colours of the Union are introduced. A triple fret of oak foliage, gilt, is carries round the pit tier. The dress-boxes have an additional row of seats in the front ; the basket-boxes are consequently diminished, and thrown back : • a skreen, to prevent the draught of air, has been made on each side. The , 'ornament , in' the first circle of boxes, consists of wreaths of oak, encircling the Red and White. Rose. On the second circle is introduced the Thistle, in octagon pannels, with sprigs of oak in the span drills—and on the third circle is the Shamrock, empannelled by closely woven laurel, and having sprigs of oak, as in the circle below. These chaste ' and classical ornaments are carved in bas relief, and gilt, and are laid on a ground of light stone 1 colour. They continue throughout each circle, separated only by small gilt pilasters, on which are I carved a lion's head over a branch of palm, silvered on a pannel of laurel foliage. These carry the co lumns supporting each circle, which are of burnished silver. 'file brackets and mounting of the chande liers are also plated with silver. The horizontal mouldings on each circle are richly carved and gilt. The cushions and seats are scarlet, and the backs of the boxes are painted with a rich rose-coloured red. —The two-shilling gallery has been enlarged and heightened, and a most perfect view of the stage is now obtained in the last row. A rich ornament, with the lion's head and sprigs of oak, is continued round . the circle of the upper.gallery.—The saloons, lob. . bies, passages, Ste. have been entirely fresh painted . and decorated, and the whole interior of the Theatre bears a completely new appearance.
