Without having any other knowledge of Mr. Elicitor, the present Cott doctor and Compnser of Music to this Theatre, than . what I have obtained f rom thoesi,..who have been placed under his control'', andAli t abisig seep music published in his name, it is necessity issslate that the situation, as Conductor of the Winkles eibicb he has for some time past held, ought to -titiirettreed him. in cases of dispute, as the profesirorisT" pritekt , r of the Band, next to the Leader.-itbit chew.. ter he must appear at an enemy, fer . kt is almost im.il possible to remain neater amongst the jarring itta-. terests of a Theatre;' besides, when w• combine; bow much a composer is indebted to the Batid in stit.; . log effect to his harmony, be is hound by every tie 'of gratitude to support their interests with the Ma .. 'stagers as far as his power and influence may estend. - Bow far this has helm tketase, the late reductions i n their salaries, as well el the tyrkinnical 'restriction which hate been imposed, will sufficiently explain. The salaries of the Band were reduced the last sea. son lower than at any former period, or than what is given at any other Theatre in London.; indeed, en r. i nn i 4 the pay of the musicians reduced at this flourishing Theatre, that, under the proposed re strictions for the ensuing season from playing et :Concerts, those who have families dependent only on he engagement for . livelihood, must positively be driven into a state of lingering starvation !! ! , And silt ti, Sir. hate riven the griping effects of the late musical (1141180Mellt et this.

The whole interior of the house, which forms one large saloon, ornamented with variegated lamps, and em bellished with a number of exceedingly well.paintell marine views, terminated by a cascade of real water, presents a truly fascinating coup diva, and reflects great credit on FAUCIT'S taste and ingenuity. .• We have had a succession of London performers; KNIGHT has been particularly successful ; he leases as this week, and is to be succeeded by Messrs.

The most important of all oar Fishe '4ies is the Herring Fishery, as it gives employment I to the greatest number of seamen. It is at this mo ment at the height of irs activity; and both sides of the Murray Firth are- troweled with vessels of every desoription v engaged in it. It is calculated, that .from the .ofillithersa to-Ertmeaborgh, they/ are not less glow. boat. occupied alone with fishing, 'lrook .4 •01tfrititqlo•steran average, five men, and eenserineedy giving einsploy men t to 15.000 seamen. ilere.titeny..oLthe. brave fellows who have been the pride Of. tbeHritiab blavy, may be seen gaining a com. lortabiet.tetut indeppettlettt subsistence.

The Curets in this country labour ender ',lmo great diiMdvartisges; the first isthe severe penalties• of he Sett Laws, and the neat is the iniuffici. roc, of the meterlals hem which the casks are made. The only wood suitabiefer herring , barrels is oak staves, , . but the doty upon foreign oak il L so Pettey, that the corers cannot elle it ;'at'prlrtnt they are compelled to make their barrel. from. British plane or birch. wood, which are not sufficiently (hirable to preserve the fish, after they Die caught ; and to this circum• stance chiefly is attributed the reason that the Dutch, who have oak barrels, obtain double the price of her rings caught upon this coast. If Government would allow oak staves only of such dimensions as are mail able for herring barrels to be Imported duty free, we believe it would be as great a stimulus to the Fisheries 'es: could be given.. A sum of money would likewise •ba well expended in improving the harbours on this ousheltered coast. • • The fishing on the southern coast of Ireland, which, for some years past, has proved very unproductive, now promises to become of chusiderable importance, the shoals of late basing been large/end frequent. The .sprats in Cork Harbour, which generally precede the larger fish that prey upon them, have recently been very numerous, and it is said that 120,000 mackerel were taken iu Robert's Cove, ou Tuesday week.

The object of the Meeting • was to form Resolations, and to com mence a plan of operations for the return of a Repre. sentence of the county in Parliament, upon the Inde pendent interest, at ti►e nest election; and in fur therance of this view, certain Resolutioni were pro. posed by JOHN Micorzs, Esq. of Beckingham, se conded by RussELL Cor.LErr, Esq. of Swinethorp, and unanimously adopted by the Meeting. The corn. puny were addressed during the afternoon by the CHAIRMAII, Sir Roma llznoN, Mr. MILLNES, Mr. COLLETT, and several other Gentlemen. Sir ROBERT HERON .gefe a highly satisfactory account of the line of conduct which he had pursued at the late election ; and a general determination was espressed that a speedy and effectual organization of the county should be attended to, and that very prompt and vigorous measures should be adopted, in order to secure the triumph of the county, by the return of an inde. pendent Cantlidate at the neat vacancy in the repre sentation. This dinner, it is understood, will be succeeded by others throughout the county, and by other measo yes of great importance iu promotion of the object in view. • Mr. COKE has at . 0111 these. numerous party of his • friends w ith him, enjoying the sperts of the field, at llotkharn, in which number is Mr. LEaez, and other newly elected M. l'.'s.

Mr. Bignold entered the Court, attended by a So. licher and Clerks. Mr• Cornish, .• ,fajpest 4 Mrs. Taylor, suggested, that tithe Solicitor toa• 10141011. mooed, it might be as well if that Gentleman .was ordered to withdraw. The Commissioners agreed in the propriety of ibis hint, sod- very much to Mr. Weald's dissatisfaction the professional. Gentleman was shown the Way.iist of Court. One of the Commissioners stated the Deters . of the . complaint to' Mr. Bignoid, and asked what he bad to i'''lbject to a demand made upon such proper grounds? !"' tdr. Bignold said, in a very imperious tone, that 'whatever might he the opinion of the Commissioners, he certainly should resist the demand by *eery means io his power ; and, if their order was issued against Mitt for the payment of the money, hi shoold imme diately commence proceedings in a place where •they would probably be instructed in their duty. ' -COMMISSVONIR.—BIit you do not say why you re. 'fele. Y on make an assertion in an• insolent manner . without giving any reason for it. Yofar wish to rule with a rod of iron ; bet we are not to be intimidated or convinced by language enbecomiag a gentleman. Mr. Bignold laugitedr-1 refuse it, said he, for the I very best reason-I never received the money ;it was never paid into the of by Winney, our agent,. who is stated to have received it; and the advice oll' i Couwet is, that we therefore are not responsible; so flint if you do any thing in this, you will do It very much to your own injury. The Costmisototeces said, that Winney having been acknowledged on agent of the Association, and Mrs. Taylor having paid the money in question to him, there was no doubt of the liability of the Cote- Pin?. hi r.Bignold repeated his threat of bringing his action if the distress was levied by an order from the Court; he advised the Commissioners to mind what they were about, as Winney had been discharged before the money had been paid to him by M to. Taylor. COMMISSIONER—Can you show any written docu ment of the discharge of Winne) , ? Mr. Bignoid said, that notice bad been given of it in the Ripen. Mr. Cornish ots4erved, that such a circumstance as the dis chante of an agent must have been entered in the books of the 1 Compapy, anti demanded that the books should be produced. illr Bignold replied, that he hail not thought is necessity to order his books to be brought for the inspection of every fellow. r air. Cornisb.—llnve you got airy hooks at nit?

The Complaining bad evidanffiy titled wills as much cautioitits a person could under stoettivi count:ince.. so that it was really difficult to judge in what man the individuals could be secured. She had paid her money his avowed agent of the Office, and had got a plate from the Office. Mr. Bignold.—That plate might have been taken off a hostel.' The plate was produced. It was perfectly new. L Mr. Cornish repelled the insinuatiosi with mach warmth. One of the Conviumonmes applied some epithets to the cola duct of she Secretary, which we do out shish It -accessary to commit to romper. Sir, let me Mr, Bignold (to that Commissioner). —Pray. knew your name, and where you are to be found. and I shall' take a public opportunity of thanking you for the compliment. .The Communions. replied, that he beloved all his brother Commissioners hot iii.e tweed in the propriety of the language applied to the couduct of the Secretary. air. Bignold, having b •eo assured by the majority of the Com missioners sitting that the . description struck them as very curate, demanded the names and places of abode of each, but was refused nay information) likely to give him saiisfacsiun, upon the ground shut h hint been unwilling to give any him self. He then desired one of his clerks to note down the word', and left the Court, deeming drat he shmild put the thing so the test; to see whether insolent language could be used to the pre• ',indite of kis feelings and character. The Conntsnon Ens regretted that they could not direct the payment of the-_Complainant's money. They advised her to take care of the plate, sad to apply to the Committee at the George nod Vulture. The case has been accordfogly submitted lathe Committee.. • A curious trial look place in the Court of Eccie. siasticil Commissaries, Jamaica, on the 17th of July, upon au action instituted by the Churchwardens of the City. end Parish of Kingston, against the Rev. G. R..G.111 11 . The charges werefour in nember— Mrst,,far having neglected his sacred duty, in re- Veling to 'wilt. for a funeral ; secondly for appear ing and officiating in church with a bandage over one of his eyes, on which he had received a wound, whilst engaged in a bozing-metch - ; thirdly, for refusing to attend on I Sunday to baptise some children ; end fourthly, that with a view to insult and degrade the Corporate Body and Magistracy of the City, he preached a Sermon, containing passive which had the above tendency. The first the charges were • subsequently abandoned for want si t sufficient evidence ; but, upon the fourth he was found guilty, and sentenced to be suspended from his functions for nine months. Mr. Bill addressed toe Court in rather an able speech, and ptasded his es." l , treme youth, in mitigation of the lispraidence he bad committed. Immediately after a thunder storm in Jely last, at liaddenham, in the Isle of Ely, several living creep.' ing creatures were picked up from off the highway by the peasants of the neighbourhood, end with, much' astonishment were laid before the Rev.
