Tito:.! A CORRE3PONDENT. CHESTER GRAND MUSICAL FESTIV.a. CIiESTER, SEPTEMBER s.l. Two days performances of our Grand Mutical Fes tival have passel off completely to the credit of the performers, and satisfaction, I might with propriety say, to the delight of the audience. Those who re member the la,t Meeting in Chester, in 1814, acknow ledgetrai..mo u asly the superior attractions of the present. The late Mr. Ma SCIE TAYLOR, Clerk to the Dean and Chapter,_ gave himself no re:•pite whilst anything could be done to promote its perfection ; it ewes much to his taste, his zeal, hi; activity, and, it is by no means improbable that the fatigue and anxiety he underwent, as a leading Manager, affect ing the constitution of a man not very robust, and far advanced in years, brought on those complaints Which shortened his life. Madame CATALANI was not engaged. The dc- Mands of that deservedly celebrated Lady were deemed too exorbitant, even fer consideration. One account states, that she demanded a thousand guineas for.fiour days' performance ! another, that she asked a third part of the gross receipts. Mr. TAYLOR, it is rumnured, was so offended by her extravagant de mand, he would not deign to negociate. He en gaged Mrs. SALMON, Madame CAMPORESE, Miss firstatews, and Miss Stumm; and a delighted au dience, in which there were as competent judges of musical talent as England aff.irds, applauding the science and genius of those females, scarcely bestowed a thought upon the absence of the a v arici o u s s y ren. I readily admit her right to make the must of her amazing powers, but tt seems as if the unbounded . adulation bestowed upon her increased her pecuniary demands as it swells her fame. The Messiah was performed yesterday, being the first day. Deferring my account of the titled auditors, their equipages, and costumes, I shall chiefly state the names of the principal vocal performers: males, Messrs. BRAMAN!, SWIFT, KELNER, Itota.z: females, Mrs. SALMON, Madame CAMPOR ESE, Miss STEPHENS, Miss SIMMONS. Mr. BRAHAM, " In thy Rebuke," and the impressive recitative " Behold and ace," as tonished and delighted the brilliant assembly before which he performed. Mr. Swirl., as counter-tenor, sustained his high reputation ; Messrs. KELNER and Roux aimed at too much science ; they took liber ties, which, if the great author of this master-piece had been present, might have induced him to fling fur wig at .bent, as it is said he once did at his first fiddle,- during a performance of the same piece in the same Church! It is a fashion that gains ground too rapidly, and is Alike injurious and perplexing to the chorus singers. Mrs. SALMON, in " Rejoice great 4,- and " I know that tug RILDWIEJI liveth, dis played so seonderful a combination of melody and science, that she fascinated the auditory, and merited more than all I could say in her favour if I scribbled for an hour. Such was her transcendent genius and pathos, that the oldest and most experienced per formers in the Orchestra expressed no less rapture asd amazement than the auditors at large. She is the first female singer now before the Public—and she took the favourite songs; Miss Simms, who stands almost on her level, had not sufficient scope fur her vast and varied powers, but wherever an op portunity occurred, she evinced • such excellence as plainly proved what she could have done, if the leading part had been hers. Miss Simmons possesses great merit, and seemed perfectly conscious how well she deserved public approbation. I have not time nor space to particularise the ex cellencies of the instrumental performers, but I can with confidence assure you their execution gave ge neral delight, and excited no less powerfully the feel. lags of the auditory than the vocal performers. How much depends upon the Chorus singers every one knows, who is accnstomed to hear grand exhibi tions of musical taste and science, and never was a finer body of singers got together. They were selected from Cheshire, Lancashire, and Yorkshire—about thirty in a part—making about one hundred and thirty indivi duals in the whole. I was present at the first Com memoration of HANDEL, held in Westminster Abbey, I believe in 1785—and I really think these 120 or 130 country singers, possess as great powers of voice, as twice the number assembled in the Abbey at that great national festival. The vast extent of the grand aisle of Chester Ca thedral was full to overflowing. The town is crowded with brilliant equipages t every public and private house of entertainment is full : servants' beds cost five shillings per night. lam assured that upwards of £l2OO was received yesterday; and this day (Wed nesday) at eleven o'clock, it is said, the amount re ceived was still larger. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. The performance in the Cathedril this day was I I AYDN'S Creation, with Selections from various Ora torios. Mr. BRAHMA excelled to-day even his mas terly efforts of yesterday. No one ever heard him sing, In native worth," with greater effect ; yet, on the whole, it is perceptible that it costs him greater ef forts to elicit these brilliant tones, than it did ten years since. Nature knows neither mercy nor cruelty; her laws are impartially administered, and the greatest must bend to her decrees. Neither Mr. SWIFT nor Miss STEPHENS took any part in this Piece. The fault of the London bass-singers is, that they !ore only tenor voices. Mr. Rott.e illustrated that position by his too laboured execution of the Recita tive with which he opened. If I were to run into raptures, I should say Mrs. SALMoN sung divinely, With verdure dad." This Lady was again most happy in her tones. bliss Sr:il eums sung in the chorus. The Selection followed. Mr. KeLnen, in " LORD have mercy upon me, .for lam in trouble, es, strength jirileth," irons Libouring too hard to excel, and depart- itlg from his author, seemed to be, physically, in the state be described. He certainly possesses very great science; but his taste—his voice—might be improved. Mr. ItnattAN, as .Icrldha, speaking of offering up his 'aughter, seemed trembling from excess of senstbts, lity, and infused into his tones such mournful tender ness, such strong emotion, and matchless melody, that many of his fair auditors sobbed audibly ; he was himself deeply, very deeply, affected ; he was never more worthy of the highest degree of popular ho nours. in this sublime character, Ins whole demeanour was chaste, composed, and dignified ; adhering faith fully to his author, without. single departure. Would he were always to act thus! Miss Se sett ENS, in ,‘ An gels, ever bright and fair," came so nearly up to the excellency of Mrs. SALMON, that, if she lives, she will become the first native songstress in the British Empire. The performances lasted till nearly four o'clock this day; and the audience were equally nu merous and splendid as yesterday. CHESTER, SEPTEMBER V. In the Chester Guardian of this day's date, you will have been much struck with the bold assertions of its correspondent Oratories:: Knowing the Proprietor and principal writers for that Paper to be in general extremely guarded in their language, and just and liberal in sentiment, I am surprised how such a pro duction found its way there. I hold it to he a species of assassinatioa to assail any person's professional cha racter, as that of Mr. BRAHMA has been assailed by the writer in question. Passing over his querulous strictures on Mr. BRAHAM pronunciation of the word pardoned' in " Conffint ye," I must, in the severest terms consistent with decency of manners, condemn as unjnst the sentence pronounced on that great performer's execution of- ! -- 44 Ile shall dash thee ill pieces as a potter's vessel," Mr.BRAHAM is likened to "a viper coded up ready to dart his enveuomed sting," " a cat with back arched and bristles tqi," " a ban frog," " a pair of bellows," " a blown bladder," " a throttler cloud," &c. It is evident to the meanest ca pacity, that the part this hypercritic lies selected for censure is one that requires the utmost energy of action and tones; and if Mr. BRAHAM had been so tame as to afford an opening for a stab on that side, the same writer could as easily have applied a diffe rent string of epithets, but equally scurrilous, for his want of spirit. The same writer, in the luxuriance of caricaturing and mangling, took some unbecoming liberties with the dress of the female part of the per formers, and reproached them with shewing a want of respect to so splendid an audience, in appearing in anything less than full dress. I cannot pretend that Mrs. SALMON saw this article before she dressed, but she appeared to be higher dressed this day, and wore feathers. The performance throughout the day was more numerously attended than either of the two preceding days, and, I think, to the full as bril -1 Handy. lam assured that the receipts of Tuesday exceeded eighteen hundred pounds ; which, together Iwith a thousand pounds by the Stewards, - is supposed to be sufficient to cover the bulk of the expenses. If so, there will remain a very large surplus for distri butions to the public charities of Chester. The Bishop of CHESTER, when the great families, expected to honour the performances - with their pre sence, had taken their seats, gave a private signal, which guided the Musical Commander-in-Chief. The same Prelate, I am informed, requested Mr. Beanast to sing " Sound an alarm," from Judas Maccabeus, which is not entered in the selections for the day. This fine piece Mr. BRAHAM executed with all the energy as though the enemy were at his heels, or their swords at his breast; but he did no more than justice to' the character he represented ; he abided strictly by his author. Mrs. SALMON was peculiarly happy in all her per formances; but through a culpable neglect, when she had to sing that beautiful air, " Hark! 'tis the linnet and the thrush!" she had no copy of the notes. At first she seemed embarrassed, and applying to Mr. BRAHAM and Miss STEPHENS, found that neither could supply her. " I fear I cannot," said she, which was all that could be caught of'what she said; but she soon regained the most perfect self-possession; and went through the song in the most exquisite style. I can say no more of Miss STEPHENS or Miss &mums, than that they exerted their talents to the utmost, and were completely successful. The Guardian critic has censured their enunciation : Miss STEPHENS is almost always very clear, and Miss SIMMONS has not merited the shade he strove to cast upon her. The Concert last night went off admirably; but I must defer, for want of time, an account of that per formance, and of the instrumental artists. The cho nisses at the Oratorio this day were uncommonly grand and imposing. CHESTER, SEPTEMBER 29. The last day's performance of the Gravid Festival of Music closed about four o'clock this day; and, but for one deficiency, it might with justice have been pronounced the grandest Festival that has ever been performed in England, out of the Metropolis. —lts great pervading excellence was the grandeur of the Choruses. The vocal and instrumental per formers have all done their duty, in a manner highly to their credit; and if BARTLEMAN bad been present, there was nothing to regret. The strictures on the performances of•Kitusea and Roux, in the Ciro.; nick of this day, are, generally considered, correct, as respects those individuals ; not so as regards BRA• HAM'S execution of, " 0 Liberty ! thou choicest trea sure," for assuredly he never did more ample jus tice to that sublime and beautiful air. Two or three musical amateurs, who were present at the Grand Musical Festival in Edinburgh, in 1819, say, that Mr. BRAHAM came fully up to his exertions and at tainments on that occasion. 1 The audience of this day was more numerous, and, on the whole, to the full as brilliant, as any preceding day. The GROSVENOR party was extremely and filled several carriages. They arrived late, the performance having begun previous to their entrance. The first day, that brilliant circle were set down at the general entrance; but owing to a deficiency of arrangement, there prevailed throughout the day very great confusion. The Bishop (of CHESTER), therefore, received them on Wednesday, and admit ted them from his private Chapel into the bread aisle. The leading performers did not consider the selec tions for this day as so creditable to the Stewards:aud Committee as on the dap preceding. KELLNER re covered some ground to-day, and Rou.s also ; the rehearsal last night did not augur so fine a perfoim ance as the gudience witnessed. It is supposed the, gross receipts will approach MOM. There was an economy observed towards the persons composing the great body, and the great strength too, of the orchestra, which wears the a,pect of parsimony.— The pay to the chorus singers, no matter how great their talent, or how Ear they travelled, was four guineas ; money that was very dear ly earned, for, between their pei formances and rehearsals, they were in exercise nine hours each day upon an average, and not a biscuit, not a glass of beer, was allowed them. This was impolitic; for by afibrding, at proper inter vals, moderate refreshment, their strength would have been renewed; or much better sustained. At the grand festival in Edinburgh, twice in the coarse of each day, very substantial sandwiches, with a mo derate plenty of ale, porter, &c. were distributed. To go into the particulars of this day's perform ance would be a work of supererogation: All was excellent. The Concerts were brilliant ; the Balls well attended ; the number of beautiful females asto nishingly great; and their dress, generally speaking, most graceful and elegant. The number of lovely Ladies, splendidly attired, and walking on the walls, recalled a vivid recollection el Me age of chivalry ;' but that spirit seems to have forsaken a very large proportion of the Nobility, and settled itself in the middle arld humbler classes. Amongst the females there was a considerable sprinkling of the wives and relatives of Chester citi zens. Many of these are very fine women, and the girls quite as handsome as their high-born superiors as to birth and fortune; and to the credit of this de scription of females, I saw not a single instance of anything vulgar or tawdry ; but, in many, their dress Struck me as combining a high degree of elegance and simplicity. Whoever has seen this Festival, and lives to see another, may suggest many essential improvements. —There was no person to receive those Ladies, and hand them from their carriai i es, who-tad no Gentle men in their company—but a Beadle or Polite Wirer —an awkward fellow as need be, who might have have been seen, a ler: days prior, leading thieves to prison, or poor stragglers, called vagrants, to the workhouse. It was a Gentleman's office, and teflects discredit on those who suffered so gross and palpable a want ofgood wanner:. The City has been crowded with elegance and fashion all this week ; to-morrow all this blaze will expire, and this dull city appear still more dull, after the sudden extinction of so brilliant an illumination. Mr. Alderman PtEnrol wr, and Mr. Alderman Co- LFV, are the new Bailiffs of the Borongh of Bridge north for the ensuing year, vice Messrs. BouLTUN and WATTS. Friday afternoon Mr. HALL, and several (lentle• I men connected with the Borough of Southwark, waited on the HIGH BAILIFF for his answer to their Requisition to call a Meeting, to consider .of the adoption of such measures as may appear requisite, in consequence of the dismissal of Sir ROBERT WIL• Sow from his Majesty's service. The HIGH BAILIFF'S answer was—" That he could not call a Tovin because be thought it would be calling in question the KIND'S prerogative." The Deputation then asked him, if the.tersui of the Requisition were al tered, merely to take into consideration the propriety of a subscription, whether he Would call a Meeting? He replied he did not think it required a Meeting called officially, or an official person to preside. The Deputation were—Alderman WOOD, J. RYLAND, ARCHIBALD RYLAND, and Mr. it. HALL. The Re quisition was signed by 1O) persons. The Deputa tion immediately set about getting a notice signed to the acting Magistrate of the District, stating, that they intend to hold a Meeting on Friday next, at the Town Hall, according to the terms of the Act of Parliament. DESCRIPTION OF TIIE DECORATIONS OF THE ADEL PHI TitzaTitE..-The front pannels of the boxes are formed of rose-coloured velvet within a gold beading, in the centre of which appears the head of Phcebus surrounded with a- glory. From this ornament, on either side, issue rich scrolls of intertwined Grecian honeysuckles. The stiles are white, the plat-band, or space below the pannels, of fawn-colour with ro• settes. The whole of the ornaments are of highly burnished gold; as are the fluted columns against which terminate the partitions of the private boxes. These columns rest on pedestals formed of looking glass imbedded in frames of rich matted gold. The pedestali reflecting and multiplying the light from the central lustre, produce a very pleasing and lively effect. The general style both of colour and orna ment in the upper, resembles that of the lower circle, with the exception that the lyre is substituted for the head of Phoebus. A neat silk drapery decorates the private boxes. The cove of the proscenium, supported by pilasters in imitation of Sienna marble, forms an elegant fan springing from a bold acanthus rosette. The soffitte of the arch (white ground) is embellished by the double lotus and rosette, the mouldings of .burnished gold. The other parts of the proscenium are en suite with the audience part of the Theatre. The saloon has not been neglected amidst the other objects of the artist's care ; but the improvement that cannot fail striking all visitors, is the very consider. able enlaigement of the entrance to the House. DEATH FROM Passtow—An Inquest was held last week on the body of .1. Hillier, a shepherd, of Saver. nade, near Marlborough, who meeting his son-in-law, flew into a violent passion, accusing him of maltreat ing his wife, and was soon after found dead. Ver dict—Died by the Visitation of Gots. flew STRIET.—The unfortunate Gentleman who designated himself the Radical Quaker. was on Saturday removed, omits the care of his brother, to a proper rylum; Dr. Sims and another Medical Gentleman having given a certificate of his insanity. UatosiHatt..—Saturday, a person was placed it the bar, whom an officer stated he had found in the street the evening before, followed by a mob, who disturbed the peace with their shouts. The prisoncr was of I.trge stature, beyond the middle age. and appeared absorbed in his own reflections. His dress consisted of a shirt without any neckcloth, a large coat fastened about his waist by a leather belt, a pair of old trowsers, hut neither shoes nor stockings, and a long bushy beard hung down to his breast. He said he had been a farmer in Maseachusett's, in good circumstances, and had a family; about four years ago, the Loan called him to leave house and land, and wife and chil dren, and follow hint. Ile obeyed the call, and took nothing with hint—neither purse nor scrip, nor shoes on his feet. Ile bad not since eaten of the flesh of any animal, nor drank any liquid, except water and milk, our had he eaten any leavened bread, nor ever received any money. The Loan always provided for him.—The Magistrate, as the best mean. of providing for the prisoner for the result, made an traler to send hint to Brixton House of 4rrectitni, with directions that he should be kindly treated.
