CHARLES X. has addressed a letter to the Archbishop of Pesaro, directing that a solemn funeral service should be performed on the 16th inst. (Friday next), the anniver sary of the death of Louts XVIII. ] From the CourrLer Francait of Saturday.] Authentic letters from Napoli di Romanis, dated August 1, an. nounce, that on the morning of that day. the provisional Government of Greece had made and published an Act of Snbmission to Eng land, invoking its Proteciorate on the same conditions as the lonian Islands. This news has reached the French Ministry, which en. devrours to conceal it, because it dreads its influence on the political horizon. But in spite of its precautions, private letters have escaped the notlee of the post.otfice and the vigilance of the police. This appeal-to the British Government was preceded by con- ferestees between the Greek Chiefs and Commodore Hamilton, who commands the English naval force In the Levant. It mast be observed, that this• important resolution was taken before the raising of the scige of illissolonghi, which is now certain, and the defeat of the forces, both by land and by sea, which the Ottoman Porte had before that place. The Greeks, forsaken or betrayed by the Continental powers, saw no other means to avert a storm which was ready to swallow them up. If, as men, we must applaud the step they have taken to escape complete extermination, and the ferocity of the Turks, we have, as Frenchmen, more than one reason to regret it. For such is the improvieence, and we must say the unskilfulness, of the French Ministry, that it is its faults and false calculations which have reduced to this necessity a people so worthy of Independence. If by impolitic condescensions, by dark intrigues, the French Ministry had not prepared and seconded the formation of the Egyptian corps, the Turks would never have ventured alone to Invade and lay *sae the hlpres. An independent Government; • powerful barrier between del- Bastion and barbarism, which woildt naturally have placed itself; under the protection aFranee,would be already established on the confines of /isle, and now bolt a place anmag the European Powers. Some unperceived indirect aid in the absent* Of an honour able assistance, even a real neutrality, would bass sufficed to save Greece, and perhaps to save Europe from another con flagration. For, in the midst of the elements of discord, which hare already shown themselves between the Cabinets, will Russia see with in difference countries which she has so long coveted, pass under an influence she fears and envies ? What will England itself do ? Will humanity, will her mari time and commercial interest induce her to protect, to adopt a nation which throws itself into her arms, and which is on the point of perishing entirely if she refuses it ? Shall we see a Lord Nigh Commissioner govern all the islands of the Egean Sea and the Peninsula of the Peloponneaus ? These are the questions that offer themselves, and which cannot be adjourned, Would it not be possible that Russia might by way of compen sation seize at least Isoldavia and Wallachia, leaving Sends to Austria, If she finds it to her advantage ? Would France remain a mere benevolent spectatator of the ag. grandizement of all thole Powers, and would its Ministry enjoy the affecting satisfaction of having brought on such results ? Whatever be the chances of this clouded futurity, our interest for the Greeks must not grow cold. As Christians let us not cease ' to aid the ,Chrivtians ce the East to shake off the horrors of the 31uuultrian yoke. Their situation is not wholly deeperate, since the letters whieh describe their milfortenes confirm that lbmhitri Pacha, master of the ruins of Pripolizza. and traversing the Peloponnetus in all di. rections, has not heard the supplication of a single Greek, and a population of five hundred thousand souls that have taken refuge in the mountains are resolved to defend 'themselves there till they are at length succoured.

The letters merely state that trade was very dull, in consequence of the Burmese war. From the papers we learn that accounts had been received from Rangoon to the 27th of February. At that time Sir AACHIS•LD CAMPBELL had only advanced fifty miles , into the country. He hail been furnished with ample supplies by the natives, who were exceedingly friendly to the British army. Paulong had been taken with the loss of only two men ; and Colonel Goonvitx had succeeded in like manner in capturing Fantebas, at very trifling ex pense. The division of General Co•rrox was marching on Donabin. Commodore HAYES and the flotilla was in the Mageoo river. The letter published in an evening paper of Friday last, announcing the complete subjugation of the Burmese empire, is, in all probability, as we observed the following morning, without any foundation in fact. An examination of the geographical positions mentioned in that letter is alone calculated to excite the strongest doubts with respect to the correctness of the statements in it. We understand too that the Captains of the Company's ships London and Canning dined at St. Helena with the Captain of the French vessel the Courier de la Paix, and that he then appeared wholly ignorant of the news of which it is said he was the bearer. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Although the transactions in the English Stock Market were to no great extent, at least in the early part of the day, still there was a degree of agitation shout it. Consols opened at 88i, and afterwards reached 89 881. However, they did not long maintain that price, and the next bar gains were done at and subsequently at In this stage of the market there was a good deal of activity ; but the business had an evident tendency to depress it, and the closing price wasBBi it having previously (only fbr a few minutes) touched 88k. Exchequer Bills were it pit to 2s. premium. This depression was not produced by any great operation on the Funds, but it may be entirely at. tributed to the weight of the market amongst the jobbers. The Foreign Market was without excitement, and almost without lattai.iess, and the quotations principally were a shade lower. Colombian Bonds were 77i Mexican Scrip SI discount, and the new Guatemala ditto 2.12 discount. Greek Scrip supported itself firmly, at the same price that it has been held for several days, 161 1, and Spanish Bonds, both old and new, were by nu means languid—the former continued at 22k, and the latter In. Brazilian Scrip is gone back to 8 74 discount, and the Danish is also cheaper than it was lest week, viz. . 6 Si discount. The Share Market likewise had but little attraction. Anglo-Mexican and United Mexican Sharei remained sta tionary, and there was no marked variation in the other Shares. Some jobbing took place about the middle of the day in Pasou-Perusian Shares at 8 9, and in Potosi Shares at 41 4. _ . There was a fair supply of an kinds of Grain at Mark lane this morning. Wheat and Barley were heavy in price; Oats were tolerably steady. A very large supply of Irish Oats arrived at Liverpool a few days since, that so glutted that market that they were shipped for London, and were brought to Mark-lane to-day. A Malta mail arrived yesterday, but the letters she brings are.only to the ?Al of August, mid advices so late as the 11th had previously come to hand. The letters received by the Lisbon packet are to the 27th August. They contain no political information. The ex change with Lisbon is more in favour of this country.

LONDON, TUESDAY. SEPTIMIZR 13, 1825. The French Papers which arrived yesterday are .Chiefly occv.pied with Greek affairs. It is stated positively, in several of them, that a negotiation had been opened by the Greek Government with Commodore Hawttrox, with the •iew of placing the Peloponnesus under the protection of England, in the same manner as the lonian Islands are governed. There seems to be no reason to doubt the fact that a proposition of this nature was made by the Greek Government. At that tirae, however, the raising of the siege of Missolongbi was net known at Napoli di Romania ; on the contrary, it was believed there that Missolonghi bad been forced to capitulate. iVe must wait for further advice*. before we can ascertain correctly what was the resolution which a momentary despair induced the Greeks to adopt. The Prussian Government has appointed a Consul-Ge neral in America. M. Sutzza, the agent of the Rhenish West India Company,residing at Mexico, has been selected fur this important post. Tlds nomination is quite decisive of the part intended to be taken by the Powers of the Holy Alliance with regard to the independence of the new Amt - Wean States. Prussia, of course, could act only in concert with its allies. The question, therefore, may be considered as definitively settled. The King of Peussia is expected to arrive at Peri., on the !..>oth or seid of this month. The Eluik contradicts some statements in tbe Memorial - ---.- t. • FRENCH PAPAS. (From the Bloik, dated Sunday.) PATIN, SEPT. 10. If certain reports may be believed which were yesterday circu lated, England has granted its protectorship to the Greeks ; the Anglo-Greek Government in the Mores, and the islands of the Archipelago, erill be assimilated to that of the lonian•lslands. • The above news, which is from the Quotidictme, is wholly desti. cute of truth. The circumstances which have giveniiie to this re port are related with more accuracy in another Journal, whittle/Lye.— " Authentin letters from Napoli di Romania, dated the lit Au gust, announce that, on the morning of that day. the Provisional Government of Greece published en act of submission to nglaud, invokinglurprotectorahip on the same conditions as belonged to that of the lonian Islands. This appeal to the Britannic Govern ment was preceeded by conferences between the Greek Chieftains and Commodore Hamilton, who commands the English squadron in the Levant." It must be remarked that this resolution was taken previous to the raising of the siege of Missolonghi, which is now certain, and the defeat of the Turks before that place; and that if the Greeks at Napoli had no other means of escaping the frightful dangers which menaced them, the Greeks at other places, not being urged by the same necessity, have not imitated the same example. • No—we shall not see a Lord High Commissioner govern alt the islands of the Egean Sea and the Peninsula of Peloponnesus. England, which has proclaimed the principle of neutrality, knows too well that she cannot release herself from it, and act upon her own policy, without uniting against her the whole of Europe. This act of the Greeks of Napoli di Romania may be considered therefore as an act of despair—the act of men who, when drowning, attempt to save their lives by seizing hold of burning iron ; but it cannot, in any way, change the relative situation of England with mpect to the Greeks. MEXICO. A daily paper, entitled the fracete Diario de Mexico, has been established at the city of Mexieo. Its first number was issued on the first day of June, ii is intended to be the official organ of government, in the promulgation of its orders, and the publication of the laws. The prospectus, in showing the imponalre of general knowledge, and tia familiafity with the *mace kr* principles of govern ent, contains this masa q'be citizen of the United States of North Amend divides his cares between the interests.of business and commerce, and the affairs of the Republic, which are to enrich his country . and secure his rights and liberty. All aspire to an acquaintance with the I ptintiplea of legislation and policy, as they may be called, $t some day, to a seat in the General Congress or State Assemblies, or to guide the reins of Government, for the good of their fellow-citizens?' This journal df the Nth of June contains the following reflections on the American Confederation. "No en lightened American, dwelling on the present, and ex'tend ing his views Into Intl:Sty, can for one moment doubt the importance ofit Congress of the independent States of the new world. Wetvill, for *melees, express the opinion of one whose talents and experience are universally acknow ledged in both hpfnispheres—the President Liberator of Colombia. His ricellency, as Chief of Peru, is deeply interested in the eltrly meeting of the Deputies ; and in a note to Vice-Presidenttantander, expresses his hope, " that Colombia will not fail to titles last step towards the esta blishment of her glory." The French fleet, consisting of nine sail, from Haven nab, have arrived in the Chesapeake. Letters front Madrid of the goth August state, there was a Council held there of the Ministers, at which the governor of Castile and the superintendent of the police assisted, since which it was remarked that nutnerons arrests took place every night. The Ex-Intendant of the police, Rufino Gonzales, has been arrested, and sent with a strong escort to Pampeluna. By the Turkey mail yesterday, accounts were received from Smyrna to -the stb, and from Constantinople to the 11th ult. They contain no intelligence which can be re lied upon from the Mores. One of the letters states that 'the Turkish forces have possession of every important point with the exception 'of Missolonghi and Napoli di Romania. An engagement between the Greek and Turkish fleets was anticipated, and the report says, that instructions were given to the Turkish commander instantly to put the question to issue by attacking the Greek fleet. A letter received yesterday from Zante, dated August 6, cqntains the following partiet!lfis or the Vella' of Mis-. songhi by the Greek fleet : His Majesty's:4llp Chan ticker came in yesterday, soon after the Turkish fleet had passed. She was off Missolonghi with them, and reports trai l bat the Greeks behaved Leos gallantly, and completely , frightened the Turkish fleet this quarter. They sue ceeded in gettfrig to windward f the Turks, and had oot the wind failed, they would have burnt the grestelt part of them. The Turks no sooner saw the fire-ships, than they took to flight. The Greeks upon this went into Mis solonghi, and sunk one brig and burnt a schooner. They have, of course, relieved that place, and it is the general opinion that the dispersion of the army off Missolonghi will be the consequence of this very fine manoeuvre. We tray of course expect all the particulars of the state of that place in the course of the day. The 'furks were met to the eastward of this island by about a dozen sail of Greeks, who were on their way to join the others. They appear to have two or three fire-ships with them. The Turks took no notice of them, and the wind was against the Greeks making use of their fire-ships." It is reported in the City, that on Saturday some Gen tlemen attached to the Russian Embassy waited on the Greek Deputies for the first time, and stated that certain obstacles having been removed, the Court of Russia might be expected to interfere in favobr of the Creeks. We give the report without at all pledging ourselves for its accu racy, of which we entertain considerable doubts.—Slur. The Right Hon. Stratford Canning is not expected to embark in the Thetis, on his diplomatic mission to Con stantinople, until the 26th instant. The Thetis is to pro ceed to, and return from Plymouth, previously. The Tweed, 28, Captain F. Hunn, is awaiting the arrival of, the Bishop of Halifax and family, for that province. The Thetis sailed on Saturday morning. The British frigate Phaeton, Capt. Stuart, !having on board Mr. Vaughan, his Britannic Majesty's Minister to the United States, came into the Chesapeake Bay on Tuesday last (August 9), and has before this, no doubt, arrived at Annapolis, where he was expected to lend.—Philadelphia Paper. . It is understood that his Brazilian Majesty's frigate Piranga, Commodore Crossby, will not sail for Rio Ja neiro until the expected despatches from Sir Charles Stuart, our Ambassador, are received, and something is known with respect to the success of his mission.—Kampshire Paper. Letters from Rip of July 3 notice an improvement in the exchange, which from 49 - had 'advanced to 57, and was expected to be shortly at 69. From different places in the West Indies a great improvement is also noticed in tie osselesoge upon . THE FRENCH GOVERNXENT AND THE JESUIT!.-King' readers will have seen by our _extracts from the French Rapiers, that the Royal Court of Orleans has sent for judg-; meat to the Tribunal of Correctional Police the Cure Ber geron, accused of an outrage to the memory of Louis XVIII. aptl.his present 'Majesty Charles X. in having from the pulpit condemned them to eternal damnation, the one for being the author of the Charter, and the other for having sworn to maintain it. His Most Christian Majesty then can no longer escape from the audacity of fanaticism ! The tree must bear its Own fruit. The annals of the world attest, that in all times, when the spiritual power has made an invasion upon the civil administration of affairs, it has never stopped half way. If it were necessary, before admitting the authenticity of this histo rical truth, to look into the cause of it, the events of the present epoch would serve to convince the most incretly lous that the position is a correct one. The Army of the Faith, destined in. 4923 to re-establish the legitimate power of King Ferdinand in 1525, wishes to restore that legitimacy -upon the termi dictated by the Spabish monkish militia. His Catholii Majesty is reduced to the necessity of reclaiming ,the assistance of his Most Chris tian Majesty, to aid him in chastising iris rebel Clergy ! and the French soldiers, a second time liberators, are des tined to fall by the .poniards of the revolted soldiers, at the instigation of the Spanish Curates, anh are treated by them as heretics and envoys from hell. Really it was well worth while for the French Government to incur the expense of ap army Of jesuits,• capucins, and missionaries, in order to procure for itself a bad reputation in the territory of the holy office ! Happy, thrice happy, are those commies go verned by the witeloni and foresight of Sovereigns who know how to suppriss in their of igin those attempts which sooner or later bring in their train such lamentable results !

The second part on Thursday morning at the Cathedral consisted of a selec tion of the most favourite pieces. from the oratorio of Stirlson, in which all the principal singers bad t"icir share of 'golds, &c. Mr. Vaughan went through the whole of the music allotted to him On this inettiing. Mr: Bellamy executed the air " Honda and Arms," in which he eminently excels, in his best manner. The celebrated air, " Let the bright '§er3phim," was a master piece of perfection in Miss S tephens 's singing it, as was Mr. Harper's obligato accompaniment on the trumpet. The latter performer has attained such a mastership of that dif ficult instrument, as, in the recollection of the oldest pro fessional man, no other performer ever attained to, and it may be truly said of him, he never fails. The third part consisted of the flirt choice selection of favourite pieces; it would therefore)oe invitlio6t4to notice.any in particular. The choruses wereof tlielatite'rank, sub limely grand, full, and effective. The Shire-hall, in the evening, was filled With elegant company. The performance commenced with the o,vertnre to Der Freisehutz, which was encored. The Inntinj; j in the same piece was also encored. The trio, " Sound.the loud Timbre'," by Miss Stephens, Miss Travis, and Mr. Bellamy, was encored. Miss Stephens was encored in " The Warrior," accompanied on the trumpet by Mr. Harper. Mr. Vaughan attended and sung one of his songs,.bitt his health would not . permit him to remain to sing the second. Miss Paton and Signor de Begnis sand several Atalian songs, and a duct, which was encored. Mi Paton was also encored in the Scotch ballad, " Banks - Allan Witter." In fact, the audience appeared to enjoy the music extremely, there being more encores than on the two previous evenings. Mr. Nicolson's performance of a concerto on the flute, in which he excels all others, was very fine. A young lady of the name of Cann, a native of Here ford, only eleven years of age, was introduced into the or chestra, although not advertised, to perform a concerto on the flute, probably an unprecedented performance for a female in public. She performed Drouet's concerto of " God save the King," with variations, in which she kept up the melody, and played the variations as double notes, Of triplets, as it is called, to the great astonishment of the gentlemen composing the band, among whom was Mr. Ni cholson, who expressed his high opinion of her extraordi nary talent. She is a pupil of Mr. Williams, the cele brated performer on the clarionet, who played the principal clarionet at this Festival, and accompanied Miss Stephens in an Italian song in a superior manner. Miss Calm also excels on the harp and piano-forte. After each concert there was a ball in the Shire-hall, which was in general kept up till about two in the morn- ing. The Bishop's and the Dean's houses have been open for the entertainment of a numerous assemblage of their friends during the meeting. J. Smith, one of the principal officers of BoW•street, attended, upon a special application to Sir Richard Birnie, and great order was preserved with the carriages, which were extremely numerous. The meeting was not considered crowded, owing to some of the prin cipal families and their connexions being prevented from attending; some from deaths; one of them, Sir John Cotterel, is in mourning for the loss of his second son, from a premature death, occasioned while near the River Wye; he slipped into the river, and was so thoughtless that instead of going home he continued fishing in his wet clothes. The collection of the Charity is considered very liberal, being about ISO/. 'more than the last meeting ; but the produce for the sale of tickets is a sad falling off, not amounting to MO/. and the expenses will be about 18001., so that the Stewards will be about 1001. out of pocket each. This is considered the largest collection that was made at anv of the three choirs, except when the late King attended • the Worcester meeting. YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. • SUNDAY Mostsergo. This grand Meeting. which has so long excited the curiosity and expectations of ail elanses in the kingdom, and smongct the mu. sical professors and others on the Continent, is now on the ?fee of its commencement. The extraordinary pains which have been taken to render this Festival pre-eminent above all that has hither to taken place, and to make it an era in the musical annals, jastify our devoting to it a greater space than is usual on these occasions, and we are the more called upon to do so, by the Intense interest which exists amongst those who are prevented by circumstances from being on the spot. In 1823 , the impression produced by the united efforts of nearly I 600 of the grenteat musical artists in the world, was too profound to be easily effaced, and the proceeds of the meeting proved how highly the exertions of the directors had been appreciated, between seven and eight thousand pounds remaining to be divided between the four charities, after all the enondous expenses had been die. charged. Anxious to make the present Festival still more worthy of snpport and admiration, and with a laudable view of making the profits to the charities still greater, the Committee of Manage ment have for months been labouring to procure the aid of all those splendid talents that have obtained the patronage of the musical world, and their labours have been crowned with the most complete success. In the vocal part of the detail will be found the names of the fol lowing talented individuals, whose assistance has been procured at an immense expense, viz. Madame Caradori, Mademoiselle Gar. cia, Misses Stephens. Wilkinson, Goodall, Travis, Farrar, itc.; Signor 1)e Begnis, Messrs. Utahans, Sapto. Bellamy, Vaughan, iH. Phillips, Isnyvett, Terrell. &e. Theinstrumental depsreinent is, if possible, still more effective, being composed of the following celebrated performers:—Messrs Cramer, Greatorex, Mori, hies. wetter, boiler, Nicholson, Bochsa, 'White the I,indleys, Draw netti, Anfossi, R. Ashley, Erskine, IVillman, Mackintosh, two Tully's, Powell, Sharpe, Platt, Petrides Harper, Walls, Scho. engen, &c. To conduct and lead the performances the Committee I appointed as follows, iris. Conductor, Mr. Greatorex; Assistant', Conductors, Mr. Ca midge, Dr. Cartilage, Mr. White, and Mr. I'. Knapton ; Leaders. Mr. Cramer for the morning performances, endlor the concerto, Messrs Mori, Bieswetter, and Loder; to preside at the organ Dr. Camidge, at the pianoforte Mr. Greatorex, at the harp Mr. Bochsa, and that every department might be complete, and itself of surpassing excellence, the quadrille band of Michau, Collinet,and Musard is engaged. The whole of the performers are thus summed up—Vocal, 90 cantos ,70 altos, 90 tenors, anti 100 basses—total, 330. Instrumental, principal second violins 87, principal vidlas 32, violoncellos 24, double basses 18, flutes 6, ;shoes 12, clarionettes 6, bassoons 12, horns 11, trumpets 6, bass trombones 3, tenor ditto 3, alto ditto 3, serpents and bass horns 8, double drums 2—total 231—independent of the leaders and con ductors, and some office engagements. The important office of engaging the chorus singers was intrusted to Mr. White, one of the conductors, who, for a very considerable time has been actively employed in selecting them from the different Choral Societies, anti be gives an extremely favourable report of their efficiency. He has held rehearsals in the several districts, and by so doing secured the most perfect confidence and accuracy performers —matters essential to filagreed effect which will result rim the union of Six hundred voleet anffinstruments at onetime. The overwhelming force of this powerful orchestra will. be hcl6 in all its grandeur at the opening on Tuesday, in the Gloria Palritt of the Jubilate (the symphony being - omitted , as room. mended by the late Dr. Burney); here every voice and instrument will burst forth in one mighty crash of harmony, and (as has been justly observed) stamping at the first moment of the festival its character for grandeur and soblimity, which the soft warbling and sweeter melodies of its lighter harmony will not be aisle to efface. There will be thirty choruses which were not performed in 1823, and amongst them are two which are mostly left out in the Mrs. stab, viz. " The Lord gave the word," and " Break forth with joy." The fame of such a brilliant and unparalleled assemblages of ta lent speedily spread itself, not only in this country but on the Con. tinent, for we find a full Programme of the Festival in the Bain. burgh Correspoackiden of the 21)(11 ult.. from which we also learn that several German and Italian amateurs will be present ou this interesting occasion. The next point to which the attention of the Committee of Ma nagement was directed, was the rendering the interior of the 31in. ster capable of accommodating a greater number of sinkers than were provided for in 1832. for which purpose two galleries have been erected in the side aisles, thus making provision for at least one thousand live hundred additional auditors, the decorations be ing in strict conformity with the noble architecture of the church. Care has been taken to increase the facilities of ingress and egress, so that on the conclusion of the performance the whole of the audience will be enabled to leave in about ten minutes. The appendages on the outside of the Cathedral are of the most sub. stantial kind, and the entrances will be secured against any contin gencies of the weather by a rooting of slate. Staircases are erected leading to the upper side galleries, through the windows at the end of the south and north sites; and the whole of the seats are covered with crimson cloth. The arrangement of the orchestra is not as in 1823 --it comes about fifteen feet more into the nave, and the chorus singers will be placed under each side adjoining the theo h f a o v f e t u he yetit isles. u T e tower, the sound of th e vo i ces being prevented from dispersion by confinednew %to o l t u itt r uho notice iotciitaii e purpose u o rlr t i h ,poo e ,rf eMinster,tthirioeer Committee,we vie b : i n t ttw concerts omitted tcor d o i n g t t o notice a ! t t e A t kd erected.

Everything therefore partook of a sal'. bath stillness this morning, notwithatanding the great addi t i on of strangers so recently made to the population t nor, probably from a tender regard to the repose of bite and wearied tr a . yellers, did the Church pr Minster belle make.half the clatter of two or three parish churches in London. Service commencal the Minster at half-pas! I^ o'clock, and bSfere that time, the whole of the extensive choir was literally crommed,and many permits Pere scattered through the side aisle; and the south transept. The Loyd Mayor, Recorder, &c. were persent, but his Grace the Archbishop did not occupy his throne. Being a Cathedral, the sexes were as much as possible separated from tech other—the gentlemen pees. eying the stalls and Seats on the tight, lookipg towards the altar, and the ladies the stalls and seats on, the eptitseite side. In the centre, men and women, together with a.perty of the 7th Hussars, and some of the national school children, Titre mixed without disen. mination, and on the benches nearest , the altar the same natu ral combination of light and shade took plite. The ladies in the stalls and pews adjoining them were all splandidly attired in the gayest tints of azure, lake, and pink, a nd ,h a d. of course, a bright, beautiful, and bewitching appearance, amidst the sombre oak canopies and carvings about them. After the usual service, the Rev. Archdeacon Eyre delivered an appropriate diecierree from the 12th chapter and bth verse of the Book of Preiverbs—" The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the cos:noels of the wicked are deceit." fhe Reverend preacher, dwelt :et some length, and with much p eloquence and energy, e upon the vanity of all earthly enjoy ments , and the delusive plea sures de. rived from sensual and vicious gratifications. The Pole charm pf the latter was in anticipation, and their fruit, disappolnunent, pain, and remorse. The practice and study of virtue alone conferred hap. pincer, and left the mind in the possession of peace and self 9. proval. Upon such a subject there could be no better authority than Solomon himself, who had rioted in every indulgence, and whose sins were only equalled by his repentance. He had drained the cup of pleasure to the dregs, and found it all bitterness--his heart had swam in earthly delights, and they imparted ao lasting felicity. The preacher then instanced the uncertainty of all human mat fidations, when Belshazzar in the midst of his unrivalled feast. and Herod on his throne, were called to account by the Almighty. After expatiating upon the necessity of withdrawing our affections from the tensualities of this world, and seeking happiness and heaven in religious devotion and the cultivation of virtue, he adverted to the approaching Festival in nearly these terms :—" Having thus ad. dressed you generally, my dear fellow-Christians, I cannot let this opportunity pass without some notice of the great Festival to be shortly celebrated within these sacred walls. In the earliest ages of the Church, solemn ceremonies of this description were not unfre. quent ; but in process of time they became scenes of licentionsnese, and degeneiated from their original high and holy purposes. At the Reformation, which was bur a correction of the errors engrafted upon the true Religion of Christ, the religious performance of .sublime music at stated intervals was retained. I'e was subsequently prohibited in this country during the reign of fanaticism. The Church of • hngland, Aleowever, which holds d middle course, and neither adomi herself in the garish. veltments of the Ronian Catholic profession, Dix is muffled up in the dirk and gloomy cloak of the fanatic is sue • averse to festivals like the pr esent , un d er p roper limitation*: Pro. sided the end be not forgotten in the mean, it is quite consistent with the cheerful worship of the established church of this realm, that roe should listen to and cherish those divine strains which beer homage to the glory and power of the Most High. Cold, indeed, must be that heart which could be insensible to the echoes of a then. , sand voices, and of a host of musical instruments, pealing through the arches of this venerable temple in songs of praise and thank,. giving, and not catch something of th e pi ous fervour with which they are inspired. Who could bear loud Hosannahs ringing along these vaulted domes, whether infidel or atheist, and not own a rm. pathetic reverberation of the hallowed soudds in his own breast? No one could remain unmoved at what may be supposed a faint rem. sentation of heaven itself, and a foretaste of the eternal blessed. nets which the righteous shall enjoy hereafter. But if only one callous sinner hare his heart touched and softened to a true salmi religion by the thrilling melodies poured forth on this occasion, the glory of the Most High will be illustrated. Independent, there. fore. of the benevolent objects of the festival, it was of II religion tendency, and may the Almighty shed th e d e w o f hi s bl ess i ngs upon all who may be gathered together on such a Christian secs. sion, and by his grace awaken every good feeling in the breasts of those who hear his praise."
