Averse as we are to exaggerated compliment, there are occasions, nevertheless, when metaphor and hyperbole are justifiable; and certainly, if praise be awarded in proportion to desert, the merits of Pasta will palliate much exuberance of fancy. She is, undoubtedly, the first tragic actress now alive, independently of her claims to be called one of the most accomplished and experienced singers. The combination of various talents—talents, too, which we perceive but very rarely united in one person—have given to Pasta that superiority over her contemporaries, which justifies her claims to the sceptre of the stage. Pasta owes little to na ture, so far as regards her voice, which is whet obscure, husky, and limited in compass; but thee she is deeply indebted fer something eminently 'o pener to a fine voice, a soul capable of strong fed• ing, and a mind competent to grapple with the most trying difficulties. Abandoning the shackles of art, and despising stage trickery, of which even clever performers avail themselves to produce effect, Pasta trusts solely to truth for success, and her hopes are never disappointed. Instead of address g herself to the imagination of her audience, and striving to dazzle and deceive them into an acqui escence in her excellence, she calmly, yet con fidently, makes an appeal to their sensibilities and their judgments, and the triumph which she achieves is the more genuine and enduring, as it is founded on what h eternal--truth and nature. But it re quires a great degree of courage, and capabilities of a very high order, in a performer, to depend en tirely on such legitimate means of accomplishing success ; besides, the temptation of ornament is so great to every thing human, that you might as well expect a handsome female to forswear her finery, as a public singer to resist the seductions of an in terminable appogiattura. Hence we find a Sontag, and even a Malibran, paying such devoted attention to what is merely ornamental in music, that sometimes (great as they are) they totally lose sight of the melody, and it would puzzle the composer himself to discover his own production under the redundancy of dress with which it is encumbered. We shall always speak resolutely and decidedly against a practice which we consider highly injurious to the developement of mound taste in music ; and, strange as the assertion sexy appear, we boldly maintain that some of the very first rate artistes have often done as much harm to the science of melody, by injudicious orals ment, as have the mere pretenders or second-Jute performers. We shall declare ourselves fearlesly on the subject, without paying the least reward either to the degree of public &roar which meek and such singer may enjoy, or the length of time which an abuse may have been suffered to exist, not only without correction, but even with encou ragement. Much as it has been the fashion to extol Mrs. Wood, we really doubt whether she has seer strongly touched the chords of the human heart. Her style of singing is essentially artificial, sad it is absolutely painful to watch her countenance when she is executing a passage requiring the j least degree of force and expression. The dis tortion, not only of her mouth, but of her whole physiognomy, is distressing to behold ; and is mere self-defence, one is compelled to seal the sight. Now turn we to Pasta :—examine her every movement—note carefully the varying ex- _ pression of her ey e — o b serve a ll her features--and you will find that in the most agonizing scenes of tragedy, while she strongly excites your feelings of pity, tenderness, or terror, she never produces an inclination to withdraw yrShr glance ; but, on the contrary, to strain it until " the sense aches." Another delinquent is Rubini, certainly a tenor of no mean order—a singer who ranks in the first line among Italian performers ; be has received much applause in London, and bids fair to become an established favourite ; and this being the case, the greater cause do we find to censure the mere tricious ornament for which his style is so conspi cuous. His roulades and flourishes are intermina ble ; there is no possibility of escaping the infliction of his scales, which haunt you with a kind of va ried monotony, if we may be allowed the para doxical expression. He never misses an opportu nity of inflicting a redundancy of unmeaning notes, and some good-natured people end by persuading themselves that he does well because he does much. Such an idea we cannot allow to pass, and if we are zealously and sincerely to advocate the cause of good taste in musk, we see no more effec tual means of gaining our object than by scouting excessive art, especially when it is in a manner sanc tioned by the authority of a first-rate vocalist. No one will say, that a style overloaded with fine sounding words, and bedaubed with metaphors, is the one which a writer ought to adopt, in order to establish his claims to the title of a classic author. The rule holds the same in music ; and as in the first instance, such a writer can only find admirers among the shallow and the ignorant, so in the latter, those who are competent to give an opi nion on the subject, will always discountenance a singer who would be accounted great, by the mere dint of decoration. Pasta, with great judgment, made her appear ! ance in the character of Medea, in which she so decidedly triumphs. This triumph is the more emprising and highly to be extolled, as the opera ' itself has no share in it, being altogether a very sad affair. Some critics, in speaking of Mayer's com position, have designated it by the epithets of " beautiful and fine ;" but we confess our inability to discover this excellence, and we think it would puzzle the ingenuity of the moat enthusiastic dille tanti, to point out the graces of this opera. The melody is deplorably deficient, and we would defy the most susceptible and educated ear to catch a cantabile in the whole progress of the perform ance; and be it underlined, That -those pieces which are especially relished and applauded by fk‘ - 104.) THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1831. the audience, are interpolations from other com positions. But Pasta's genius infuses life and vigour into the cold, cheerless skeleton of Mayer; and the sublimity of her acting makes us forgetful of the scanty instrumentality of the opera through which she works her miracles. Yet we can easily con ceive, and experience confirms the opinion, tint a great performer may excite wonder even in an in different dramatic production : if not, how could a Siddons, or an O'Neill, have drawn and delighted crowded audiences when performing in such pieces as the " Fair Penitent," " Jane Shore," the " Grecian Daughter," and other dramatic fool eries which still keep possession of the stage.— Puta went through her arduous task with her accustomed self-poession, and in a masterly style ; yet, contrary to the general opinion, we think that her voice, which was never of a high order, is some what impaired ; and, indeed, in one or two in stances, she failed in producing effect. It is in the recitative that the excellence of Pasta chiefly ruts; nothing can be more impressive and majestic : there is a certain melancholy in her tones, that ad mirably seconds the expression of her counte nance, and the dignity of her elocution.—Sitejlish man's Magazine. PRICE SEYENPENCE. BIRMINGHAM POLITICAL COUNCIL At the meeting of the Council on Tuesday even ing last, a renewed discussion took place respecting the future annual elections of the Council. Mr. Hipkiss presented the report of the committee ap pointed to consider this subject, the recommenda tions of which were— " That in July next the election should take place in pretty nearly the same manner as hereto fore, and as prescribed by the laws of the Union ; but that at that meeting the following plan, to regu late future elections, should be recommended to the members for adoption. Some weeks previous to the annual meeting, the Council to elect six members of the Union, not members of the Council, the six thus chosen, to choose six members of the Council ; the twelve with the president of the Council added, to make a list of fifty names of members of the Union, who are, in their opinion, fit and proper persons to be come members of the Council, such list to be printed and distributed among the members of the Union, who are to place a mark opposite the names of the thirty-six persons they rote for, and deliver It at the office of the Union a few days previous to the annual meeting. A suitable number of scruti neers to be appointed to:cast up the number of votes, and declare on whom the election bas fallen. Members to be at liberty to substitute the name of any person they may think proper in lieu of those in the printed list. Mr. ATTWOOD thought the plan worthy consi deration, but doubted much the propriety of getting it passed into a law at the meeting in July. He thought it should be well considered. Mr. PARE disapproved the plan, he thought it was little better than an in and in system of elec tion, and after the Union had declared in favour of the ballot as a national mode of election, he thought it was incumbent on the Union to try that mode for the election of the Members of its own Council, or they would fairly be open to a charge of incon sistency. The plan proposed by the Committee was certainly open to suspicion, if not to fraud. Mr. ATTWOOD said that Mr. Pare evidently brought an independent mind to the consideration of the subject. He agreed with him that whatet er the plan finally adopted might be, it should be as free from suspicion, as possible. Mr. HINE iss thought the ballot should be tried. Mr. Jon es thought it was very immaterial how the Council were elected. It had worked well under the original mode of election, and be was for letting well alone. Mr. 8188, Mr. TIIOMAS Werrox, and Mr. SALT, thought the present mode very defective, and urged the adoption of the plan recommended by the committee. The latter gentlemen combatted Mr. Jones's arguments against a change. After a considerable discussion, it was resolved, on 'the motion of Mr. Pare, that the debate be re- i sumed next Tuesday . Mr. C. A. Timm sox, of London, then claimed the attention of the Council, as a member of the Union, to the serious losses he had sustained by the frequent arbitrary changes in the currency, and the manner in which he had been treated by the British parliament, when applying to them for redress. In detailing his own case, he would be detailing that of thousands of others who had suf fered from the same causes, though not, perhaps, to the same extent. It was resolved to call a special meeting of the Council for Thursday evening, to take Mr. Thom son's case into consideration. Before the Council rose, the following letter was handed to the chair, by a deputation and read : TO THE COUNCIL OF THE POLITICAL UNION. GIKNTIEMEN,—When an individual, for the welfare and good of his follow-creatures, gives up his time, his talents, and almost his health, to snatch them from impending dangers, we are led on insensibly to the highest strain of admiration. Admiration that, like a sun pervades and animates each bosom, to pour the incense of gratitude upon the altar of its adoration. Such, Gentlemen, hos been the case with our noble and worthy chairman, Thomas A ttwood, Esq. But, Gentlemen, though one man may do many and great things, a united body like your's, posses sing talents and resolution, must amorally sod ne cessarily do more. Gentlemen, we the undersigned, admiring your perseverance in the grand and all-engrossing topic of political regeneration, beg, most respectfully, to present to yei oar ardent and sincere thanks for tiro great good +you have done, not oily to the peo ple of this town, but to the British nation at large. Gentlemen, your patriotic ardour has been a glorious example, which has most happily been followed and approved by the great mass of the people. It has been a magnetic needle, of such powerful attraction, as to draw nearly all minds and bodies into one common current of thought and action. It has been an orb of light, which has persed the shadows of darkness from the minds of thousands, pouring in their stead the bright rays of hope and knowkledge. It has been the star of peace and unity, pub lishing friendship and good will to all. Gentlemen, to you belongs the honour and glory of having averted from this favoured land the gloomy horrors of civil discord. For the blood of thousands would undoubtedly ere long have stained the earth and desolated our towns, bad not some thing been done. Gentlemen, we rejoice that, (as if to second your views,) the great Creator of the Universe has, in such a critical moment, given to the British nation a King whose feeling heart is open to the wants of his people, and whose wisdom and sagacity has placed around him, to fill the measure of his people's desire men of such strict probity, brilliant talent, and noble fortitude, as those who now so honourably sway the councils of the empire. Gentlemen, we hope and trust these noble minded men, headed by our patriotic Sovereign will continue to advance intrepidly as they hitherto hare done in their grand career of political Reform. And may you, Gentlemen, as the strenuous sup porters of honest men and honest measures, still continue your exertions, and aid them with all the powers of your mind.—Gentlemen, we remain, with true respect, your humble servants and ardent admirers. (Signed by numerous metnbets of the Union.) 1111311 MISERIES. TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL GREY, &e. Balboa, May 30. My Lord—l must abandon in this Letter all thoughts of our prospective misfortunes--I have neither leisure nor inclination to speculate on the future while present famine stares us in the face. " Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." The people are threatened with destruction, and the go vernment is earnestly implored to save them. If its aid is longer protracted, it is as difficult to cal culate as it will be impossible to retrieve the loss. I am at a loss to conjecture on what reasonable grounds their prayers can be disregarded. Is it from a disbelief of the distress, or the inability to relieve it, or, finally, from the impression that the duty belongs to others? The distress is no longer a problem. It is running with the strides of famine, and its - frightful progress has borne down the most stubborn scepticism. From the first peer in Mayo to the humblest peasant, there is on this subject a melancholy coincidence of opiuion. The markets are rising to an alarming height. Sixpence fora stone of potatoes, and eightpence for the few who can get labour, will convey but a faint idea of the amount of our wretchedness. Yet for employ ment at that pittance, there is a keener canvass than for the highest honours at your lordship's dis posal. On this morning alone, two hundred can didates were rejected. The cries of some who protested they had not a particle of food, would melt the most unfeeling heart. I implored them to disperse quietly, lest they should be infected with a contagious mutiny. Yes, my lord, I was alarmed lest they should learn the recent mode of tracing their distress with the spade—•a style which surpasses all the ancient specimens of the art in the boldness of its characters, as well as the inge nuity of the invention. Nay, it throws all the rules of rhetoric into the shade regarding the pow erful effects cf writing. Never did I witness forbearance so astonishing under suffering so appalling. In no country under Heaven would it be borne. Not certainly in Eng land ; without any remoter reference, I saw it yes terday. I attended at the unloading of a vessel of potatoes, which was consigned for our relief by the London committee. It was with difficulty one could make his tray through the crowd of mendi cants that besieged it. Some rotten potatoes were thrown on the deck. The scramble for their pos session was revolting to human feeling. I watched the emotion with which your lordship's country men surveyed the distressing scene. Nor shall I easily forget the words which fell from the mate ' in a tone which spoke a mixture of humanity and pride—" The pigs in Devonshire would not feed on the rotten potatoes for which the poor creatures are fighting!" But why occupy your lordship's time in detail ing distress too evident to be controverted, and too intense to be endured. It is, alas ! attested by the fresh tombs of some the most valuable of our clergy. They have become its victims. Tbe others remind one of the painful condition of those who strive to appease, by the ingortmee of land, the mutiny of a hungry crew. The clergy are sustaining the minds of the people by the hope' of succour; bet every hoer it is protracted, only ag gravates the discontent, and endangers their salu tary influence. If, then, my lord, the starvation is toe evident for doubt, and too pressing for delay, where can we turn for relief but to a paternal government ? We will not, I trust, be told, that it is too exten sive for the government's resources. Were it one of those awfal visit/Akins by which kingdoms are ' somet i mes punished, government might find some apology in the magnitude of the evil. It is not a plague or a famine which sometimes sweeps the surface of a whole country. No, though severe in its intensity, it is /inked is its exteet. Same districts are suffering dreadfully from the infliction; though the evil is too large for priest. bensvolsaao, it can easily be subdued by the government's resources. Were the faith df treaties• to be violated, or the Uies of Great Britain to be insulted by a hostile power, the gorernment woad instantly extend them its protection. No mone y s h ou ld be spared defend them, and the minister would confident appeal to Parliament for an act of indemnity the lives of subjezta of less value than the safet our allies ; and is not famine to be ni among the most formidable of our It is then, in such a case slant the minister affects to fear the the legislature. No : such apprehensions entertained. They would be a libel on human tore as well as on the wisdom of Parliament. did a minister come down to the senate solicit more creditable indemnity, than for the expenditure of money to save the livee . of the people. Th e bo roughmongering Parliament' sto longer exists. has paid the just forfeit of its want oft* kindred ing with the people, in the speediness of its lotion.

We join the following extracts ; • " Menrurn, June 3.—nere was a general ' turn-out' of all the workmen four days age. They met at a plata called TWyn-y-wain, and It was expected there would have been a disturbance in the evening, but they dispirited, and did not show any formidable appearance till the next des ; d they then assembled in considerabl e numbers an d red the streeis all day. Where any good s b a d been for debt, they obliged the parties to deliver them up, and handed them over to the owntes. In the evening, about ten o'clock, I was writing in the office, vaporing papers foe taking an account of the population, wham, some men came and knocked at the door, recommending me to extinguish my lights sod depart, as the men were coming that way. When I got into the street, I found that they had been at the house of MIN Coffin who keeps the Court oniequests, and &mended the Woks: which Me. Coffin had previously sent away. On die 'Deering this, they broke open the door and destroyed pro perty to the amount of 8001. or 1,0001 making a bonfire 0 all the old books belonging to the Court, and break ing chain, table', du. to keep up the dame. The romp. testes, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Hill, convened a meeting at the Conk Inn, and despatched messengers to Swansea, Brecon. sad Cardiff for troops. A party arrived in the night, and when I went to the Castle Inn in the meriting, It presented the appearance of a castle about to be besieged. The large room, in which they give concerts and balk, was converted into a eon of guard room, being filled with a fine troop of Highlanders (93d), amounting to about 100 1 , On the outside the mob era. assembled (I should think* there were cue thousand men, or more,) with blit and a few with firearms, T h e officers were breakfast . lag in the large public room, and the magistrates and iron-masters were assembled in the room adjoining. Soon after my arrival they agreed to receive a deputation from the mob, and twelve men were accordingly admit ted. The soldier, were ordered out before the door to keep guard, end prevent any attempt being made on the place. I wee present at the conference, and was surprised to bear bow well many of the men spoke. They appeared to be the bod ies individuals of their party ; and, although they spoke very ssepectfully, insisted upon an immediate rise of wag as Asir present receipts were not enough to support their fannies. " 31r. Crawshay and Mr. Bill addressed them In log- I fish, and Mr. Bruce in Welsh, representing to them the int. propriety of breAleg the laws. as well as the impoodbility iof their allowing themselves to be dictated to by an tried mels. The men ',plied, that nothing short of Inoue. Mate concession on the part of the iron-masters would satisfy the party assembkd outside. At this petted of tbe conference I left the t oom to view the people.-- rho soldiers assembled before the door looked like 'pecks amongst the multitude, and teats were enter_ tamed of a rush upon them. Direction. wets honsedistely given for three men to occupy each window in the Castle. Mr. Guest came up shortly after, and addres.ed the pope. bee from the centre window; but after a great deal of speak. Mg on both sides, no favourable decision was come to.— Mr. Crawshay then addressed them to ti • HAW strait as 11,. Guest, but in vain. After parleying ame time, they made a rush upon the soldiers and tr ed to dinette them.
