WARE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. - The above graml performance of Sacred Music took place, ss announced. in e parish church of Wire on Wed- nen, demand f o r tickets bec u ame very pressing as the lay' Ili day of p rformance drew nigh, and all that were issued, amounting to 1600, were disposed of hefore Tuesday even ing. a .' , : ven when all were sold the demand increased. e nv ies.: of the we ether, and the names of our two molt distinguished vocali , as, Miss Stephens and Braltain, attract! el a very cons;ellt snide portion of the reek and ronseqnence of the county to the place. Long before eleven o'clock, gay equipages and vehicles of ry do , gr ipti in were continually arriving. and at the time of opening the dents every avenue to the church was com pletely thronged. The church is a flue Gothic and lofty building, well -adapted to such performanms. At twelve a platform erected in the chancel, which was peculiarly ae rated to the patrons and patronesses end their friends. its entirely filled with the most faeltiortable company, stet displayed a perfect galaxy of hi :atty. The rot of the church was very much crowded wills me et performs. Brabant was in fine voice, anti esecuted hissoloa in " The Messiah," &c. &c. in his usual masterly style. Of our old favourite, Miss Stephens, enough cannot be seal ; we therefore decline the task of awarding ler full owed of praise. Miss Johnston's style of ringing was much and d e s e rvedly admired. Ilawee and Bellamy could not fail to please. The chorusees were executed with a skill and precision seldom equalled ; and the organ, erected by Bishop, gave great effect to them. This instru ment is now perfect, having lately had the addition of a choir by-the same eminent builder. Mr. Lttppinn presided at it with his usual ability. The whole was conducted in such a manner as to reflect the highest credit upon those who hail the management of it. In fact, we do not know that we were ever present at any meeting of this sit scrip then that seemed to give metre geemeral satisfaction. Not withstanding a large body of eonstaldes was in attentlattce, the light-fingered gentry were on the alert , and made ex tecsise depredations. One gentleman had his pocket picked of LW/. ANOTHER ACCOCNT. This long-expected festival took place on Wednesday last. in Ware Church. From an early hour in the morn ing, which was truly auspicii us, catriages came into the town, filled with fashionably-dressed ladies and gentlemen from all parts of the county, and from ten till twelve o ' clock the town was particularly full and ga; ; every vehicle that could be used on such an occasion was in requisition ; and the inn-yards not being sufficiently large to accommodate the great influx of carriages, every place in the town where they c :old be deposited was crowded to excess. The ehureb doors were opened at eleven o'clock, and the rush to obtain places was very great : but the Committee hav ing determined to admit no persons but those who had tickets till a quarter before twelve, an opportunity was thereby afford, d, to all who had admission cards, of get ting good situations, and the accommodations in general were more than could he expected. At twelve o'clock every place commanding a view of the orchestra filled, and indeed every part of the church was crowded. The performance began precisely at twelve, and every attention was paid to it by a crowded and brilliant audience. The whole went off with great eclat, and seemed to give gene ral satisfaction. Mr. Braham acquitted himself well, and the arduous recitative. " Deeper and deeper still," was masterly and very effective—indeed we never heard him to greater advantage. Miss Stephens was particularly happy in her selection, and the ease and elegance with which she warbled forth her heavenly notes had a fine effect : " I know that my Redeemer liretli," " Agnus Dei," and " Let the bright Seraphim," were well executed, and Mr. Harper's trumpet obligato in the latter was in his usual trPe of superior excellence. Miss Johnston's upper notes are very fine, and she displayed considerable judgment in some parts of her performance, but she is much in want of confifienee. Mr. Bellamy is deservedly a great favourite is his line; his " Behold, I tell you a mystery," and " The trumpet shall sound," were effective. The cho russet were full and well sustained throughout. Of the instrumental performers we cannot apcak in terms suffi chintly commendatory, for the orchestra was filled with first-rate musical talent; but we cannot omit noticing Mr. F. Cramer's Violin Obligato, in Handers First Concerto : it was a masterly performance, and was worthy the just e , :lehrity he has attained in the profession. Mr. Lindley:a Violoncello Obligato accompaniment to Mr. Braliam s " Gentle Airs" was worth the whole admission money. His performance was wonderful, having the effect of two or three instruments, and die exquisite harmonies he pro duced were such as but few could equal on the violin. In devil the whole seemed to give perfect satisfaction to a more iiiiinerous and elegant congegaiion than ever was known in Wire church: we calculate there were about 1800 persons pr. sent. THE PRESS; cocoa bark (for cordage, &c.), atittsome salt fish and other provisions. They formerly imported into Surat and other places on this coast, from Iluesorali, large quantities of hin.t or assairettlia, ammoniacal t wits, dried fruits, sul phur, and various drugs, and some gold and silver cturs, musk, e mbroidered velvets, carpets, Wee, pearls, anti trea sure ; from Scind, cargoes of rice, tanned leather, put chuck, and piece goals; from Chins, tea, china ware, silks (both raw and wrousht). Rutter-candy an.l sugars; from Mocha, coffee, dates, &c. and occasionally gold anal' silver coin. In the course of the last half century they have become, in some of the Malabar States, prepared rather to export sugars, rice, and raw silk, than to import them ; anti the growing facilities of our trade with Egypt must have effectually closed every foreign channel, through which they may have for merly vented by re-exportation the comtnodities they had received from Mocha. Th e other branches of trade here intlicat ti, however, to the present moment, and under the superintendence of British flutist) y and skill, might in four or five years be immeasurably extended. As to rice, perhaps no district in the whole world could be pointed out so admirably adapted by nature for raising it in any quantity as the whole of Goojerat, with its abounding streams and adjacent lowlands. The trade with P e rsia, and even with the ports of Arabia, in this grain,- if properly conducted, would be an inexhaustible source of agricultural employment and profit. Indeed, the western shores of Goojerat are eminently adapted to render that province the staple of our Persian trade. A vast number of rivers fall into the sea, which may be en tered, for the moat part, with great facility ; and numerous little bays, creeks, and inlets, afford shelter against almost every wind. This country, in short, is excellently well qualified to become the entrrpot of the commerce between the west and the south of Asia, and of India and Africa. The trade which might be carried on with the dominions of the Puha of Egypt Would certainly be of the most lu crative description. As, on she one hand, it would be im passible for that ambitious hut ieselfigiett Prince to obtain ship timber, especially teak, on so good terms as from Ma labar ; and, on the other, his cottons and his rice would not be accepted in barter ; he would be obliged to pay for this timber in gold or silver—an operation altogether in favour of the merchant in In-lia, who has to carry silver into all his principal Oriental markets. I would further venture to suggest, that some more refining process than is now adopted in the manufacture of cocoa-nut oil, and a better management of the fishery in the vicinity of Bom bay, for example, where the curing is very imperfectly per formed, would provide two important articles of consump tion for Egypt and Arabia. In return, might there not be imported, with great advantage, and on a large scale, horses from both those countries and from Persia? The native and naturalized breeds of Hindoostan have long needed much improvement; sett the rich Mottoes, who can scarcely be enamoured of the miserable appearance of the Mahratta gal !owes, or the Tattoo pone, of the Scheike country, however hardy and serviceable ea ch of these animals may be, have, in many instance', possessed themselves of Arab steeds, as handsome as those of their Rajahs—but the race, generally. is wretchedly deteriorated in size and spirit. It is not at all impnesible that the example of a few British colonists might even reconcile the natives to the employment of horses in draught, in which cue the demand for better and stronger breeds would rise prodigiously, and render neceesary fur ther improvements by crossing, probably with European steed,. If it be true (which I think is doubtful), that among the 11'estern Ghsuts of the Malabar there are found strata of stone, very dissimilar from that which pr.ncipally enters into the composition of those mountains, and which more resemble, both in their heavy texture and porous qua lity, that of which we mike our filtering's/ones, it may be safely assumed that no article could be provided for the Penman markst which would be more eagerly purchased the had and turbid quality of almost all the waters in that country would render such a pacificator net merely a fa vourite luxury, but an almost inappreciable blessing. • Central India produces an immense variety of quadru peds, of which the fors, I am seared; on high authority, ieicht form the staple of a most lecratfire trade with China, and with the countries to the north slid north-west of the Peninsula. It is true that in intensely cold climates the furs of animals attain, at certain seasons, a finer growth and quality than they are usually observed to do. in tropical climates; bat some of the most beautiful of the quadru- Ted* ire- review h an tt o i tad icheitiingicas a s4* tiger, them-vat, the ounce, , ) hate hithevto formed a branch of Indian COMMene absolutely insignifi cant, compared to the value sad importance which it would prove of, if prosecuted with but even a moderate share of enterprize and capital. The richest spoils will be gathered in the north-western end the eastern provinces of the Peninsula. The countries bordering on the coast of Coromandel hive ever been celebrated for their riches, and the excellence of their manufactures. The most exquisite muslin', the finest cottons in the world, silks of many and transcendent dyes, highly-tempered cutlery, &c., among the latter ; and of the former, opium, Ise, saltpetre, civet, honey, maize, wheat, rice, ginger, pepper, ealt, sugar, indigo, wax, betel, tobacco, dyeing anti other drugs, &c. In short, Bengal, with her neighbouring 'provinces, undoubtedly comprises one of the very richest countries in the world ; because, abounding herself in every sort of natural wealth, she is able not only to supply the wants of her own people, but to send the amazing superfluity of her produce to other nations, from whom she receives, in exchange for her com modities, principally gold and silver. But it is needless here to enlarge upon the extreme productiveness of Bengal, the healthfulness and fertility of Behar, or the agricultural wealth of Berar, or, in fine, upon the very commanding position of all the countries in, and adjacent to, the Coro mandel coast, for the trade of all the richest countries of the East. It is notorious that the capital defect of the Coromandel coast is its total want of harbours. No doubt this is its great—l had almost said, its only deficiency ; and it is one detrimental not merely to the better prosecution of our own intereolonial mai India coasting trade, hut propor tionably favourable also to the power and opulence of the maritime countries lying ow the opposite coasts of' the Bay of Bengal, for they possess several excellent ports, which not unfrequentlY prove the only shelter to which European vessels can steer, when pressed by stress of weather, or the necessity of refitting, or of taking in stores. This being the case, it is not surprising that they should have become ports for the building as well as the reception of ships ; and it is a well-known fact that for some years past 3000 tons of shipping built by the Burmese have been annually sent by that people for sale to Calcutta, and to Bombay and other ports in the Peninsula. Since "there is not a single harbour, from Caps Com orin t o. the Gan g es, capable of affording shelter ton vessel of 300 tons, while, on the op posite shores of the Bay, the Burmese have, among others, Negreis, Rangoon, and Memo' ;' . lknd the King of Cochin- China has actually consuncted, within' his dominions, a well-equipped 40-gun frigate, which has this year visi ted our settlement of Singapore; the expediency of our form ing harbours, if possible, on the Coromandel Coast, must be self-evident. It surely is marvellous that no attempt should have been yet matured to execute such useful works in two commanding situations, where, if Nature h av e no t ac tually provided ports, she has placed some of requisites the most essential and admirable for their prepa ration. In looking at th e tow n of Inmate, one is struck with its commodious and comtnan mg poeition on a lake, separated from the coast only'hy . a narrow bond, or bank of sand and 'coral, and directly accessible from the ocean, at Armegon. • The above - named impediment might be removed or cut through, with no great labour, and at inconsiderable ex pense. The moat active and efficient agent for its . retnoval is already provided in the surf ,which breaks powerfully as at Madras, and to h th e e r e so , though uthwa by southward of F ule o li rt a S s t. So G v eor iale ge m . ly Hail a Brindley Or a Rennie been consulted in relation to such a project, he would long ago have contrived to turn the full power of the surf upon the spot which it might have been deemed necessary to open sod to deepen ; sad, by one and the same operat i on , b as e opened a passag the e from the a rea into the future the fury of the surf, enlarging the shallow bed upon l ak b e v , and lo h 3v a i ve ng ex a l n i d aus t for which it at present breaks. In this lake there are tour islands, Ilamruty, Pointy, Varautl, and Ircunt, all of which Would afford facilities, except only during a small portion of the year, for docking ships„&e. Another stations very Capable of providing, it the expense of a little attention . and industry, more than one port for the reception of ship ping navigating along the Coromandel Coast, is the cele heated lake of Chilean, the mouth of which, open to the sea, and stretching in a south-westerly direction, &fibrils a sheltered passage for veisels into the main lake, while the river Nurchard, which ruts parallel with the sea coast, aoll enlarges the bed of the Chilean, would afford abundant,: supplies of frith water. We have' already seen with how much advantage, both to this country and to individuals, a great variety of sta tions that are et present absolutely waste and solitary, or most unprofitably occupied, ea the two coasts and in the central kingdom of India, might he colonized by Briiish i sealers; and I shall conclude these auggeslions its another paper, by setting forth imue f ew of these stations, and re `capitulating some of their most promine nt and lulu:lto gums features. lIBITANNICUS. SPAIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. SIR, —Observing in your journal some interesting re marks upon the state of affairs in Spain, and particularly the extraordinary conduct of its wretched king, I am in duced to trouble you with some observations. which, if they shall seem to you deserving of attention, I trust you will give them insertion at your convenience. Next to the state of the kingdom itself, nothing, I believe, has puzzled the British public so much as the mysterious policy of the French Cabinet in its continued occupation ; for certainly, in its present state, it can only be a mill-toone round the neck of France, alike useless to her as an ally, and a source of inquietude as a neighbour. Here then a question naturally arises—Why does not the French Go vernment make use of its present commanding influence in Spain, to compel the King to introduce a proper system of government, such as alone can re-establish permanent tran quillity and good order. The answer is, that the principles of legitimacy forbid such an interference. The French Cabinet having invaded the country in the spirit of the Holy Alliance, and on high monarchical maxims, could not recognise any changes unless emanat in g from the un controlled will of Ferdinand. Earnest advice is all that these maxima permit, and how little effect any other than the " worst" can have upon such a wretch is sufficiently notorious. Then again, it is no less lamentable than true that there exists among the Spaniards a very strong and influential part, composed of the priesthood and high noblesse, whose interests are opposed to a change of go vernment ; and as :these' possess' the entire control over the lower orders,' they are of course very pciwerfnl.-- They .would resist innovations, even though favoured 1 , by the King, and still= more forcibly when brought forward under foreign dictation. There is no doubt that the Liberals, though the least numerous, are the strongest Early, and .could. keep down the others • but whilst the French troops remain in the country they cannot show themselves; because, although these are not numerous now, they yet know that any serious rising on their part would bring them in collision with the French, in which case they would be promptly reinforce:l from France. 1 his, depend upon it, is the only reason that prevents Mina and other patriots from again appearing on the stage at present: lam Convinced that the French Government ar dently wishes to quit the country, whenever it can be done consistently with their principles, and that their sole object in staying is to indemnify themselves for the enormous ex penses the invasion has cost them. They perceive that whilst they hold the fortresses they have some kind of se curity for the payment; but were thy to evacuate them, and the Liberals to get the upper band, they would of course refuse to recognise the debt, and justly too, as they never invited the French, who came to overthrow them. As it is, whenever a change takes place, the new Government, to get them out of the country, must come to some cum .promise. When this change may be, it is of course impos sible to say • bull think it requires no great stretc h of fore ',sight to predict, that when the Charter of Portugal shall have taken root, and becomes quite ennsoliddled, it will not be long before it spreads its benign influe n c e to S p ain, ' and buries in the dust Ferdinand and his despotism. Apologizing for the length of thtse remarks, I am, Mr, Editor, your obedient humble servant, London, September 1, VERAX. • . CeILYIV.4I4I. AND 1,154r0el auxux COMPANr. The report of the last Meeting of this Company which hes been sent to the other Morning Papers, from a quarter with which we are well acquainted. sone In substance with that Which we laid be fore our readers a day before. After the Seelpholders were admitted the conversation was continued, but appears to have been merely a repetition of what had before occurred. Questions were put to Lord Palmerston se to his opinion of the Directors, and as to the view the House of Commons would be likely ft take of the case, in the event of its being brought before them. He tidied. tlwt they possessed the same means that he had • foe judging of the Directors, and he thought the Heine of Com. moss had too much to do in the way of legislation to entertain the case at all. His Loedship then said, 7 should wish to know whether those questions are asked Me merely the yourself, or to satisfy other parties ? SHAREROLDER.—For the satisfaction of other parties as well as myself. Your Lordship has, unfortunately, by becoming a Direc tor, identified yourself, although wholly innocent, with in men who have hatched this vile scheme of deception, and you are , Point a law, liable to be sued as well es any other of the Directors. Lord PALMEISTON—I have consulted my lawyer, and he says he shall resist any demands made soon me by the Shareholders and Scripholden of the Company. We consider them bound, by the deed of settlement, to discharge the debts of the Company. The conversation ended here.

Lance S a ERTEgT.—MUNICH,IB.—We are in formed, by letter from Lohr, a Bavarian village situated between Sackenbaul and Manternach, that a serpent 18 or 20 feet long has been discovered, some days ago, with its head of the size of a dog, lying on the ground, and the bode of corresponding thickness. It was seen first on a neighbour ing bill, situated 130 paces from the Mein, rolled in a spiral form, in a hush, and darted itself thus, in three leaps, from the hill into the river. Two men who witnessed this pheno menon attested these facts before the Bailli, who imme diately ordered measures to be taken to destroy a reptile so extraordinary in our climate.

An ante-chamber, the gallery (100 bet long), the dining-room, and the spacious hall-ream were hung and carpetted with black cloth, and ligheil up with about leo large ainumbra lamps. The Intly lay in the ball-room, under a canopy of state. T he Nilo was covered with rich crimson velvet and gold furni ture. On the plate is the following inscription : " lloriet, the second wife of Sir Gerrard Noel, Baronet, lineally iteverded by her father. the Rev. Josepii Gill, from the Duke of \I tattoo. Born 24th July, 1783; died 9.h August, ltr.fl, in the 4.2t1 year of her age." This room was lighted by two immense chandeliers, each weighing half a ton. They are the richest and roost splen did things of the kind we bay:: seen. Each contains 20 sinumbra lamps, and tile massive burnished gold work of they are composed contrasted beautifully with the s ill light the lamps threw around.

The church at Exton is of itself an object of such beauty, and so rich in monuments, as to be well worthy a visit at any time. Some of the finest specimens from the chisel of Nollekens are to he seen here, and the ancient monuments are of the most finished and delicate description.—Stant fred News. Excess of Revenue (1821) - £3,736,161 In this statement, the great increase upon the debt of the Company is not noticed. That has arisen from a variety of accidents, which do not prejudice the general position relative to the extraordinary increase of the India trade during the last half century. Now, if the enormous ex penses of the Company's civil and military establishments, occasioned by !heir excessive augmentation during this in terval—if the charges and losses caused by their exhaust ing weirs with European competitors and native powers-- their loins, compensations, salaries, &c. to divers native Princes—their heavy advances to the growers of opium within the districis of Behar and Benares—the charges of their judicial establishments, of the collection of their re venue (the latter being an enormous item against them) , and of various supplies to the Presidencies •—lf all these be taken into consideration , the reader must fie astonished, not that at a given period the &agitators. of Bombay or Madras , for example, should have exceeded the net revenae, but that the revenues of any Presidency, as of Bengal, should have exceeded its charges; and that all of them, in the j first year of a peace with the Asiatic Monarch, recently'! engaged in hostilities against us, should be in a eon dition to become immediately productive in ratio perhaps tenfold their prese nt aggregate net amount. a But to come to our more immediate objects • anel— brat, as to the . possible extension of the trade Of India. From the very commencement of George the Second's reign the trade of • Persia has been an object of equal curio.' sity and of neglect with the British public. The vicinity of its south-eastern frontier to our northern provinatolle India—the facilities of maritime communication afforded by the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Bussorah—the rich but differing productions of either country—lndia proffering to j Persia precisely those commodities of which the other stands mast in nail, and Persia tendering to India inexhaustible supplies of those luxuries and magnificent fabrics that are best adapted to the tastes Bud the Sonsumption of the latter; —these relative features in the natural constitution and po sition of the two countries, from the earliest ages, have excited the attention of commercial enterprise. Had it not been for th ! insuperable aversion to maritime navigation, which, even in Straho's time, characterized the Persians, their trade with India, instead of being crippled by the dangers, delays, and difficulties of overland transport, would have been ere now one of the most lucrative and extensive in the world. It is fortunate for us that, except ing only the Parsees, the great bulk of the Persian nation still retains this invincible antipathy to sea voyage'; but to how little account have we hitherto turned the abundant opportunities which have offered for becoming the great purveyors of Persia ! During the two last reigns we equipped one royal embassy to that empire; but the gene ral countenance and effect we have given to our missions, and to the condition of our residents at one of the most magnificent courts in the world, has been as meagre, and parsimonious, and stinted, as—or even snore so—that which the jealous avarice of James the First extended to the gallant but unfortunate Shirleys. Every body knows of the unpardonable error we have so long persisted in of sending to tichiraz or Teheran embassies from the Company, instead of am',aasadors immediately accredited from our own Sovereign. The pride of the Schah naturally took the alarm, and our representative, as in the case of Lieutenant IY., has been usually left to the marked though cautions indignities suggested by the resentments of a Prince whose presence-chamber was graced by the splendid retinue of a ereeich Plenipotentiary. awl whose closet was eagerly tap, preached by an active and intriguing envoy from the Em peror of Russia, sot ioundeel with magnificent appointments worthy of that great monarch. Every body is aware also, that when that great and extraordinary man, the present Sir John Malcolm, wan offered the appointment of Diplo tnatic Agent to the King of Persia, on behalf of the lion. Company, lie declined it, on the ground that if the coin mission was not a royal one it would not be received in a becoming manner. The Company's mission was despatched some two or three years since, and ;he supercilious ni which met it on the fro ntiers front this eastern ono= himself entirely justified and realized Sir John Malcolm's anticipations. The whole objects of the mission were of course frustrated, and it proceeded no further. Yet, with the knowledge of these facts, and with these recent.exein plifications of them before us, we are scarcely nearer at the present day to any right understanding with Persia, as to the cultivation of a mutually beneficial commerce, than we were in the times of honest Jonas Hanway. Among the very first steps to be adopted with a view to the improvement and extension of our India trade, we should certainly take care to establish our diplomatic relations with the Persian Court upon a liberal, politic, and becoming footing. The Mala bar country is by no means so rich in its productions as that which borders on the coast of Coromandel ;e but on the other bawl, its produce is much more capable of being raised and increased by European colonists, and its trade is always brisk, extensive, and profitable. Its exports consist of cassia lignea. pepper, cardamom, santalutn or sanders wood, curcuma (Indian saffron), ginger (the hest, except iug that - which is grown in the Mo!uccas),..9coa nuts, The aplen- e ball- lamps , bly for the rr- aki out )le , dor till ibr rr part: pie 13r tnounre sterdai ima reef i Ya won, all leek, owning ntletne Excl: ire yin` ii id) Vvvi „ re th 31P1 veral A coil( 1 , ; IO ? • 0 % j i 1 , 1 o . .. x , ' . i , 11 Il i , . , t 1 1' ! i.l: ( ' ii i ; i i 1 1 1 , . . i - Itch ude oand lads. se& our other ;I for Bel• cord tly to in tile ! -k
