ROYAL MUSIC PARTY. The Kixo had a select Party of Music on the even ing of yesterday sennight, in consequence of the at. tit al at litighton of the Gentlemen of the Chapel R ,val, to assist at the ceremony of the Consecration of the Chapel Royal attached to the Palace there. . The Gentlemen present were—Messrs. Sale. sen. Vaughan, !La's, R. Clark, J. B. Sale, W. Knyvett, Molyneux, Salmon, on. Gore, !Skid, Evans, Roberts. The Abwotees were—Messrs. Knyvett, sen. Salmon, sen. NV 'WI, and (leather. l'heir Deputies were--Messrs. Leete, Terrail, C. Kurett, nd (;nuhleti. They concluded the old year, and ushered the new year in with the national anthem of " GOD save the king." Some most choice and excellent glees were sunk in very superior style during the evening. On the evening of New Year's Day, his MAJESTY had a numerous Dress Party, consisting of the LORD CHANCELLOR and about one hundred of the most distinguished characters in Brighton, when they were gratified with a Grand Concert, the vocal parts by the above Gentlemen and the eight young Gentle men of the Chapel Royal, together with his MA- Jesrv's superior and excellent band of wind instru ments amounting to forty performers, under the di rection of Mr. KRAMER. The vocal music selected Was What had been arranged and well adapted for such a numerous band of wind instruments, to give a peculiarly fine effect. The performance was in the new music-room, which was brilliantly illuminated for the occasion, and where the Royal Party were supplied with the most choice refreshments. Mr. ATTWOOD presided at the organ. The performance commenced with the Overture to Edher. This was followed by the Hailstone Chorus, which is for a double choir; and although the vocal performeis were hardly numerous enough to support double chorusses, yet all the voices being effective, another of HANDEL'S double chorusser, " My right hand, U Lour," from the same Oratorio, which it is to he regretted is not oftener heard, was extremely well supported. Mr. VAUGHAN gave the opening of the Messiah very chastely. The chorus, 4 , And the glory," fol lowed. The KING'S favourite anthem, " Hear my prayer," was introduced by his NIAJESTY'S command, after the arrangement for the Concert had been made, and was most admirably sung by Master Glean , and Master JONES, who repeated a great part of it by command of the K ING. 'The chorus from Sampson—" Let their celestial concerts all unite," was performed. The first Act concluded with the chorus from Joshua" Glory to Goo," in which the accompaniment of the wind in struments was heard, most appropriately to the words, to imitate the falling of the ponderous walls of Jericho. The second Act commenced with the Overture to Ads am! Galatea, followed by the delightful chorus into which it leads, 44 01; the pleasures of the plains." The remainder of the performance was selected Flom the same piece. " Hush, ye pretty warbling choir!" was most charmingly sung by Master GEAR. The duet, " Happy we, by Mr. VAUGHAN and Master GEAR. "Oh ruddier than the cherry," by Mr. SALL. The trio, " Ihe flocks shall leave the neonntaism," by Master GEAR, Mr. SALE, and Mr. VAUGHAN.— The performance concluded with the Coronation Anthem of a , Zadock, Me Priest." The Km frequently conducted the Concert, and kept most excellent time. His MAJESTY appeared highly delighted, and took particular interest in the II hole of the performance, from which it is supposed hi, MAJESTY will become the great patron of HAN nEt.'s music, as his late Royal Father was. Twelfth-Night fell on Sunday, and therefore its celebration was postponed until last night. The dis play of cakes in the windows of the pastry cooks, in every part of the town was wry rich and brillia• t. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE enter tained a large party yesterday, at Bushy Park. In the evening they drew Twelfth-Night characters. The Earl of LI LFORD is entertaining a large party at Liltord, near Oundle. G. B. PORTMAN, Esq. keeps open house this week at Bryanstone, Dorsetshire. Lady COCKBURN entertained a party of young friends at Sir GEORGE'S residence in the Admiralty. Lady CLARKE entertained a large party in Devon shire-place. Lady HERVEY amused a select circle on the Ter race, St. Mary-la-Bonne. Lady TAvLon had a party in Park-street. General NLEDIIANI had a party in York-place. Lady DALLAS had a party in Bloomsbury-square. Lady NLLTIIORPE gave an elegant Ball at Scanby Hall, in Lincolnshire. _ _ The lion. Mr. Bftronas displayed much hospita lity at Buckingham-place, near Shoreham. Cllonel CLARKE, of St. Peter's, Ramsgate, gave a Ball to the neighbouring Fashionables. The Fail of DARLINGTON has arrived at his seat, R.rby Castle, Durham, from Yorkshire. GEORGE PETRE, Esq, has arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond-street, from a tour. DRURY-LANE.—Mr. KEAN resumed his station at this Theatre last night, and performed Richard with his usual ability. In Akron, in the Afterpiece, MuN DEN appeared in the very meridian of his excellence. COVENT-GARDEN.—Last night the Beggar's Opera was presented to an overflowing House. The cast was peculiarly attractive. Miss STEPHENS resumed her duties for the season in the part of Polly ; Miss lIALLANDE appeared for the first time as Macheath; and Mrs. LISToN performed Lucy.. Of Miss STE PHENS it would be needless to say anything in at tempt to satisfy the Public beyond the remark that she appeared to be in good health, and sung in the full plenitude of voice and good taste. She was le iTatedly encored, and on one occasion (Oh, Polly! ,you might have told and kiss'd) twice. Miss fint wne did wonders in Macheath. She is the best icrnale singer who has yet attempted the character. She played with more effect, and sang with a more distinct and determined style than in any of her fe minine characters. Mrs. LisTuu played Lucy in ex cellent style. Of the other parts—as of Mr. Btau t HARD in Pcachum, and Mr. ENI SHY in Lockit, being Lot only perfect of their kind, but habitually well known to the Public—it were in vain to remark on them. The Piece went off with consummate effect. The Two Pages q f Frederick the Great followed— alter which came the Pantomime ; and a more crowded !louse has seldom been witnessed, or one more en way gratified. TIM •ARMY. The payment, to Retired Officers, of Half-pay for the Quar ter endbsg December 25, will commence on the 17th last. and continue every day (Saturday and Sundaexcepted) till the 13th of February ; and a f ter that period on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in each week. The 33d Regiment, now on their voyage to Jamaica, is to re lieve the 58th, ordered home. A detachment of Royal Artillery sailed. from Cork an the 30th ult. on board the Fanny transport, for Mafia. We understand that three of the band of the 59th Regiment have deserted, and taken with them several of the musical struments belonging to the Regiment; and though the most vi- 1 gilant search bas been made after them, they have escaped in a vessel which lately sailed from this port fur Lima.—Cbrk Mer *male Onwsick.

By advices received from Ancon, a port in the Pacific Ocean, it appears that up to the 15th of Su gust the fortresses at Callao had not surrendered to the force under Lord COCHRANE and General SAN MARTIN. As the object •was to spare, as much as possible, the lives of the besieged, no attack had been made; means had been found, however, to cut off the supply of water at Callao, from which it was inferred that the garrison could not.hold out much longer. Letters from Stockholm, of the 21st of December, state that the King of SWEDEN has issued orders for a military encampment to be formed in June next, on the heath of Odskjold, near the frontiers of Nor way. The encampment is to consist of 10,000 Swe dish troops, and 3,000 Norwegians. The KING will I establish his head-quarters during that time at Nork jar, one of his country seats. NAVAL INTELLIGRNCE.

There is every reason to apprehend that it was the act of an incendiary, as the stack was standing in the centre of a geld, and a person .has been appre hended on suspicion. The night bring foggy, the Fanny, of Newcastle, bound for London. coal-laden, being off the coast, and the mariners not being acquainted with it, and not seeing' the Dungeness light, mistook the fire of the stack for it, and wishing to pass it on the land side, unfortunately ran their ves sel aground on blorston-beach, between nine and ten o'clock. The sailors, seven in ■umber, took to their boat, leaving the vessel a complete wreck about twelve o'clock, and not knowing where they were, did not make land till nearly four o'clock, having lost everything but the clothes they had on.

Thursday, FRANCIS JEFFREY, Esq. was inducted into the office of Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. Letters have been received from the Havannah to the 26th of November, which state, that several per sons of high distinction had arrived therefrom Mexico, bringing with them a glen deal of property in gold, jewels, and other valuables. They had made their escape under the apprehension of some violent pro ceedinp against them by the Independents. The news they gave of Mexico is, that the whole system of Go vernment has been arranged by the Patriots with out further bloodshed. Among the Officers of the State were some individuals who had acted under the old regime, but vi ho had joined the friends of liberty. A large fleet of insurgent privateers still swarmed on the coast of Cuba, which, it was reported, had taken two merchant vessels from Vera Cruz, richly laden. Six slave-ships, from the coast of Africa, had also fallen into the power'of the Insurgents,who landed the slaves at the Five Islands, and canverted the vessels into privateers. We have received Gibraltar Papers to the 18th ult. The following are extracts: " Head-quarters, Gibraltar, Dec. 15, 1821. " The provisions of the Proclamation of the 29th of Septem ber last, with reference to the communication with Spain, will be reverted to on Monday nest, the 17th instant, and will re main in force until further orders By his Excellency the Governor's Comnund, " S. R. CHAPMAN, Civil Svc." The Town Council of Cadiz has received from the same authority in Reus, and from the Militia, and several luhabitants of that town, three communica tioas expressive of the heartfelt satisfaction with which they have heard of the Representation addressed to his MAJESTY by the Authorities of Cadiz on the 29th October last. The national Militia of Bilboa, on the contrary, has sent an Address to his MAJKSTY, which one of the Cadiz Papers terms a most servile and indecent one. The same Paper (Diario Gallitano de la Libertado,Jrc.) states that Dun JOAQUIN VIRUES having been ap pointed Governor of Malaga, the inhabitants assem bled the moment they heard of the appointment, and prevailed upon the Town Council to signify to Go vernment, that the new Governor would not be ad mitted until the Cortes had come to a determination respecting the message now under consideration. On the other hand, the Regiments of Asturias, Es tremadura, Gerona, Villavictosa, and the corps of Royal Engineers and Artillery at Saragossa, have re newed to the Cortes the most earnest assurances of their love of order, and adherence to the Constitution.' The Redacia has a letter from Ceuta, stating, that the Bishop and three Canons had been sent on board a ship in that bay in the night of the 7th instant, being suspected of a want of partiality to the Consti tutional system. , PWKIF^ • . . The none:sired for the savage murder of Stack, mentioned yesterday, is, that it was repotted he gave information which led to the apprehension of M'lnernhy the day previous, for killing a man named Wilson. A gang of ruffians posted an inflammatory notice on the Chapel•door of Cratloe, on Sunday, offer ing a premium of twenty guineas to the person who shot Stack, and threatening instant death to whoever destroyed the placard: this, however, dii rot deter the Parish Priest, who, on perceiving it, tore it down. ORANGE OUTRAGE -MURDER OF M. WERIEN. saws TUE DUBLIN EVENING POST. Daomoatt, JAN. I.—Wednesday, the 26th ultimo, between the hours of five and six in the evening, a corps of Northern Loyalists, commanded by a Lieu tenant HAMILTON, son of ROBERT HAMILTON, gsq. a Justice of Peace for the county of Tyrone, entered the town of Dromore in marching order, armed with guns and bayonets, and regularly supplied with ball cartridge. It happened to have been the fair day of this town; but until after the arrival of the Loyalists, the slightest disturbance had not prevailed in the fair. .The object of the corps was to make an attack on every Catholic's house in the town, the proprietor of which had been licensed to retail spirits. They com menced their operations by firing a volley of ball cartridge at the house of a respectable innkeeper, of the name of JAMES MULLEN. Their next attack was on the house of another Catholic innkeeper, of the name of NEAL M . Qusans. On their advancing, their Commander was frequently heard encouraging them, saying—" Come on, boys: we'll do the Papists now!" He then ordered his men to halt, pi ime, and load, and fire into the house of M 4 QUEA DE. In this volley several innocent persons were wounded, and one man so severely, that his life is despaired of.— In about fifteen minutes afterwards they proceeded to the house of another Catholic publican, of the name of JOHN KELLY, and here, unfortunately, they satisfied their thirst with what they call Papist blood! Here thty succeeded, not only in shedding the blood of many unoffending persons, but in depriving a man of an excellent character ofhis life. MICHAEL M'BRIEN was in the act of taking some refreshment with a friend, when he was shot through the body, and, utk happily, expired, calling for his Clergyman, his wife, and children ! I have just heard that several of the offenders were taken with arms in their hands, by a party of the 88th Regiment, quartered at Omagh. ANOTHER ACCOU,NT•F ROM THE ERNE PACKET, On the second day of Christmas, at the fair of Dromore, a disgraceful and fatal quarrel took place, which terminated in the death of one man, and the wounding of several others. As well as we could collect the circumstances, the Yeomanry of that town, who were called upon to quell the tumult, fired into a public-house, where some of the rioters, who had been throwing stones, had taken refuge, thereby pro- ducing the unfortunate consequences we have just stated. An Inquest has been held on the body of the deceased, but we have not yet learned the verdict. Several persons implicated in the transaction have been committed to Omagh jail. The Magistrates of that neighbourhood are investigating this lamentable business with the zeal and energy which become their station, and which are due to justice and the peace of society.

SHOOTING OF PIGEONS. _ _ Monday sennight a grand match at Pigeon-shooting took place at the Horse-shoe Inn, Northwood, Isle of Wight, between three celebrated shots, at five birds each—Mr. DANIEL Usnas.- WOOD, Mr. Marssan, sen. and Mr. SIILEY ; which was won by the former killing his five birds. A renewal of the match on which a tie was shot between Messrs. Olivia, PENT, and OWEN, apinst Messrs. SPLAY?, Donswata, and Kane, took place on Barnhatn Moor, near Sut ton, yesterday morning, for forty guineas a-side. In shooting at fifteen birds each (forty-five), each party killed thirty-four. The present match, precisely on the same terms, was thus decided : Killed. Killed. 13 Spratt - 12 11 podsweil - 10 Kemp - - 9 --Zl4 Another match was shot between Messrs. Oursa and Smarr at eleven birds each. It was fur twenty guineas, and was won by Mr. Sea.trr killing nine of his birds and Wee& eight. Oliver - - l'ent - Owen - Dr. SHORTT, son Of FRANCIS SHORTT, Esq. of Conrance, is arrived at Dumfries, his native town, from St. Helena, where he was at the head of the Medical Department of that island. Among other curiosities, he has brought with him a branch of the willow tree which now overshadows the grave of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. Four beautiful ostriches, standing, when erect, five feet in height, of a dark colour, were broftht to to town on Saturday morning from Portsmouth, in a double caravan, having been sent as a present from the East Indies to his MAJESTY; they are to be con veyed to Bi ighton. Friday evening a large mouse was caught by a cockle in a drawer in a house in Carlisle. There was only a single cockle in the place, and he held the mouse by one of his fore feet. Monday se'nnight, at the tithe audit of the Rev. WILLIAM GARNIM, at Droxford, an abatement of. ten per cent. was made on the amount of the pre ceding year. • Extract of a letter from Montreal, dated Decem ber '2o.—" Ice has already formed in our port in au unbroken sheet between the little island and the adja cest shore, and we have reason to believe that this winter will be unusually severe." •. 7 1 t ~ 1 iti ‘1 t I • • I r ' , t il•~, ' I AA 1 ,
