' In our Castle of the Tuileries. Nov. 90, 1823.' " HONOURABLE HUMILITY. imeral Bauer, who commanded the Russian cavalry in I Istein, was a soldier of fortune, whose family and coun were unknown to every one. When encamped near I am, he took a mode of discovering himsoll, as novel was amiable. Ile invited all his ticld-ollieers, and I others, to dine with him, and sent an adjutant to' ; a miller and his wife, who lived in the neighbour to the entertainment. The poor couple came, very afraid of the summons, and quite confused when appeared before the Muscovite General. Bauer sees this, bade them be quite easy, for he intended only mew diem kindness, and had sent fur them to dine with that day ; at the same time lie conversed familiarly them about the country. At dinner, the General ed the miller and his wife one on each hand, and near to him, and paid particular attention to them. In the Iry of the entertainment, he asked the miller many Mons about his family and relations. 'f he miller stated it he was the eldest ten of his father, who left the mill then possessed, and that he had two brothers and one iter. " Have you no other brother ?" said the General. Wo," replied the miller ; " 1 had once another brother, it he went away with the sahliers when he was very King, and must have long ago been killed in the wars." The General observing the company much surprised at cinventation with the miller, said to theta—" Brother Hirt you have always been curious to know who I was, whence 1 came. I now inform you, that this is the _ad my nativity, and you have heard from this miller, rho is my elder brother, what my family is." Then turn s; to the astonished miller and his wife, the General ein .eid them, saying that hc was the brother they had sup dead. The General then invited tl e whole of the inpany to meet him next day at the mill, where a plen rul entertainment was provided ; the General permed it to his brothers in arms, the room in which he was born, !hit as much evident joy as if he had been chewing the ice where he had gained a victory. MUSICAL PHISIOSIENON.—A child, about eight years age, named George Aspull, is creating a great sensation the more select musical circles, for his extraordinary ierfermance on the piano forte, at which he does not stun) , sit, his stature being so small as to render the ition of standing that which gives him the most perfect emand of the instrument. His fingers are extremely rt, even for his age ; with the left hand he cannot reach octave so as to press down the two notes which lona it one time, and is only enabled to do so with the right and with much difficulty, and by depressing the wrist. 'he impediment thus funned to the acquisition of the mere echanical difficulties of the pianoforte, will be perfectly derstood by all those who have ever attempted that in einent, but they have not prevented Aspull from con ing the most complex and rapid passages that appeared in the fonn of musical composition. With slight allowance only for those passages requiring Ater strength than that to which his little frame adequate, or combining more distant intervals than A fingers can possibly command, there is no chili -silty of execution that can stop him for a moment. The compositions of Kalkbrenner and 11loscheles, prepared displaying in public the manual skill of those celebrated 'sssors, are played evidently without the smallest effort by this extraordinary child. Ile has also made himself master of a piece of most singular difficulty, by a foreign composer, whose name is Czerny, and who wrote it as a trial of skill for all the eminent professors of Europe, and in order to combine all the mechanical niceties of execution of which the in strument is susceptible. Ile also sings ballads to his own accompaniment on the pianoforte, in a voice thin and weak, owing to his extreme youth, but with peculiar taste' and delicate expression. His sprearance and behaviour do not differ from those of other children of the same age, but his manner, when performing on the pianoforte, is that of a person deeply attentive. The most rapid and in volved passages do not produce a change of countenance, nor any sign of titbit. Little study is requisite, even fur the most elaborate pieces; and those of ordinary diffi culty he can execute at once, on being permitted to cast his eve over them before taking his situation at the pianoforte. 'rhe merits of this extraordinary boy are as yet known only in a very confined circle. Ile is shortly to be introduced to the King, who, having heard his wonderful talents de snibed, has expressed a desire to enable himself to judge of their reality. THE ANC:ENT DIAMA.—The first comedy was acted at Athens, on a scaffold, by Saffarian and Dolon, See y. ars before Christ ; tho se o f Terence were first performed 154 years before Christ ; the first in England was in the year 1351. Tragedy was first acted in Athens in a wag gon, 535 years before ('hrist, by Theapis, a native of! learn, a town of Attica, in Greece, in whose time tragedy was citified on by a set of musicians and dancers, who, as they danced, sung hymns to the praise of Bacchus: and that the musicians and dancers might have time to rest, and that the people should have some new diversion, in troduced an actor, who, between every two songs, re some discourse on a tragical subj ec t. Thi s ac t or ' s cocoon was called the episode. Thespis also furnished satyrs for actors, and Horace says he brought forth his satyrs in an uncovered chariot, where they rehearsed their - •sis, their faces being daubed with dregs of wine, or, ding to Suidas, painted with ceruse and vermillion, to ;rep esent the satyrs, wh o arc represented with a red an d high-coloured visage. The episode meeting with a kind reception amongst the people, Atschylus introduced two actors, and Sopliocics added a third, which brought tra gedy into its full perfection. Such is the extraordinary mildness of the season, that many flower-ganlens around Stamford present the appear ance of advanced Spring. A bunch of full-blown double carnations was gathered on Tuesday in the garden of Air. Taylor, at the back of Paul-street.-llushrooms also have been picked up in many situations. We have heard an intelligent gentleman, accustomed to meteorological obser vations, remark that when winters have been distinguished, like the present, by high winds, severe frost has not been known.—Stampeel 3 , Irr racy. A SCOTCH I.E.—A poor fellow, in Scotland, creeping through the hedge of an orchard, with an intention to rob it, but, turning his head round, saw the owner coining, who called out to him, "Sawney! hoot man, where are you Paging?" "Back again," says Sawney. On the sth ult., part of the men employed at Kenton Cslliery, about two miles from Newcastle, were seen bring to bank the worn-out horses of the pit, a description of allnals deserving the tenderest treatment, if length and *eerily of servic es f o r m an y c l a i m t o regard.

After the examination of the prisoner'', Mrs. Brown, and her female attendant (prisoner) Catherine Morgan, were permitted to 1 sleep at the White Horse Tavern, at Shenley Hill, and Mr. Con- I Holly, and Moran, his servant, were liandeutrsd, and conveyed by Langley and Propstring, the conrablea, to Barnet, whine they ' were confined for the night in the cage. Connolly was repeatedly pressed to take refreshment, but he refused, and he and Moran were then locked up, and watchmen were on the alert the whole of the night to prevent their escape. About eight o'clock yesterday morning they were removed by the above constables in a post chaise to Hertford Gaol. On the road, Connelly appeared ex tremely dejected, and expressed Ins opinion that the result of the affair would be favourable to him. lle frequently said that he should be a great deal better if he could have a hearty cry. He said lie hail been extremely sick during the night in the !cage, and requested a pint of warn: porter twice on the road to the prison, which he paid for, out of the money he had I in his possession, which only amounted to three shillings and eleven pence. On reaching the gates of the gaol, Connolly looked out at the window of the post-chaise, and gazed wildly on the edifice, and earnestly inquired if that was his destination. Upon being told by 1 Langley it was, he was greatly distressed. The officers then pro ceeded front the chaise, and after knocking at the gates, they were opened by Mr. Wilson, the keeper, to whom they resented the commitments of the prisoners, who were ushered into the lobby of the prison, where, after remaining a short period, they were heavily ironed. Whilst they were undergoing the ceremony, Mr. Con nolly appeared excessively affected, and viewed the operation with an apparent feeling of sorrow. Moran was then ironed, but viewed the performance with more levity than his muter.— ' The prisoners having been thus secured, were escorted into the interior of the gaol. Moran was placed in the yard in which John Thurtell was ; and on the latter observing Moran to be double ironed, he appeared anxious to know for what crime he had been thus manacled. Mr. Connolly was introduced into the de partment of Hunt, who also expressed his anxiety to know for what he had been committed. Mr. Connolly was dressed in a drab surtout coat, a waistcoat of the same, trowsers, and Welling ton-boots. Moran, who ected as a cow-buy to Connolly, was most wretchedly attired ; lie was dressed in a kind of a grey shag jacket, such u the soldiers' trowsers are tr.ade of, grey trowsers, under which were a pair of top-boots, and his feet were stocking. less. He wore a green foraging cap. . _ On Wednesday evening last a most melancholy occurrence took Jlace near South Mimm*, by which a poor man of the name of ames Urainge lost his life. The circumstances of the case, as far as we have been able to collect them, arc these :—For some time back, a gendeman ' whose ; name is Patrick Connolly, resided at a mansion called Rabley ileum, within about a mile of Shenley-hill, in the county of, Hertford. Rabley House is the property of Captain Nestor, with whom Mr. Connolly was ir timately acquainted, std from what we have collected, it appears that Mr. Connolly was remaining there to avoid an execution which was known to be out against him. In the same house was residing a lady of the rumen' Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, the widow of a naval officer of that name, who we believe , had charge of Captain domestic concerns. Beside these; individuals, there were a female servant and two male servants on the premises. On Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, three permns arrived at the mansion--a 3lr. Stephens, an attorney from London ; Thomas Watson, a sheriff's officer, residing in Great 1 Suffblk-street, Southwark ; arid his assistant. They found .say ingress at the outer gates, and on reaching the hall-door, knocked for admission. They were answered from within by Mrs. Brown, whit, perhaps suspecting their errand, did not open the door--she demanded their business, and they commenced by asking if Cap. ; vein Nestor was at home? She answered in the negative—they then asked some other indirect questions, and finally begged to know if Mr. Patrick Connolly was there ? To this question Mrs. Brown also answered in the negative. They then stated that they had an execution against Mr. Connolly, and peremptorily desired to be admitted—this Mrs. Brown as peremptorily refused ; and I they immediately attempted to force the door, the upper part of winch was partly composed of glass. To effect this purpose, they placed their feet against the bottom of the dour, and in the exer tion which they made they broke one of the panes. The noise which was thus occasioned, and the violence which was committed at this moment, seem to have roused the choler of Mr. Connolly, who was close at hand, and he suddenly made his appearance with a pitchfork in his hand, with which he threatened to resist any further attempt that might bz made to enter the premises. In &elan« of his threat, the officers on being again refused admis sion, renewed their attack, when Mr. Connolly pushed the fork through the broken pane at one of the men, whom he struck, but luckily did not inflict any wound. The assailants finding their man thus determined to oppose them, retired for a time, and while two kept watch, the third proceeded to a 31a0%trate in the neigh bourhood (the Rev. Thomas Newcome, we believe), before whom he laid an information of the assault which had been committed upon hint in the discharge of his duty, and procured a peace war. rant fur the apprehension of Mr. t'onecilly. his warrant was di rected to the constables of the district, mid these individuals were summoned to put it in execution. Iron the ancimen which Mr. Connolly had given of his disposition to resist all ordinary means of arrest, it was thought fit to take a competent force to effect this ob. jets, and art .in persons were sworn as special constables for the oc casion. Among others included in this body was the brother of the pa rish constable, James timing', an industrious shoemake at Shen. ley-hill. The whole posse being assembled, they proceeded in considerable force to the scene of action, which they reached about six o'clock. A second loud knocking at the door gave notice of tittle approach, when Mrs. Brown again made her appearance, and, as has been stated by the witness, admission was demanded in the King's name. Mrs. Brown still declined complying with the demand. A general assault then commenced, and several panes of glass were broken in the windows, as well as in the door. This continued for some time, till at length Mr. Connolly came forward with a gun in his hand, and threatened to shoot the first person who presumed to break the door. This only tended to increase the vie levee, and as the party outside considered that they were armed with sufficient authority to use every exertion in their power to make their caption good, they treated Mr. Connolly's threats with indifference, anti actually began to break the pannels of the door with such means as came to hand. At this unlucky moinent, and in cue heat of irritation, Mr. Connolly discharged the gun, and Janus tirainge, being nearest the door, he lodged the contents in the upper part of his arm, near the shoulder, which was dreadfully mangled. The unhappy man fell, and a cry of •• Murder!" burst from all quarters. A considerable pause now took place; the offi. cas and their assistants drew back, fearful that further mischief might be done ; and indeed we have heard that other shots were tired, but without producing any further Injury. The wounded man, being unable to walk, was placed in a cart and carried to the 11'hite Hart, at Shenley-hill, from whence expresses were immediately sent to St. Albans and Barnet, for surgical as sistance. Information of what had occurred was then conveyed to the Rey. Mr. Newsome, and John 31. {Tinter, Esq. another Ma gistrate in the neighbourhood, who consulted upon what was ex. patient to do. All the constables of the neighbouring villages were forthwith summoued, and fresh admonitions were made to the list of spacial constables. With this force the Magistrates pro ceeded in penal to Robley House, within which all remained in perfect silence. It was now between nine and ten o'clock, and an comet sits made to force an entrance at the back of the premises, where some more windows were broken. I.'nder the direction of the Magistrates, admission was once more formally demanded, and their warrant was read in a loud voice. Mrs. Brown for the third time came to the door, and announced, that if the party would *hew their warrant she would admit them. This was refused, but it was read in her hearing, and the door was finally opened. The Ma gistrates and ;he ofe.ers then entered, and 31rs. Brown said she would send a servant to call Mr. Connolly down stairs. A servant did accordingly go up stairs, and Mr. Connolly cane down and sur rendered himself. All the other persons in the house were then secured, as being participator in the outrage—namely, Mrs. Brows, her servant woman, Hugh 31organ, a servant man, and anodise man called Edward, whose surname we were unable to learn. The whole sere conducted to the IThite Hart, at Shenley-bill, when they remained under a strict guard fur the remainder of the ! 'ln the interim, the unfortunate wounded man had been con-1 veyed to his own house, where he was put to bed until the sur • e should arrive, which did not take place till a late hour. Mr. Lloyd, of Barnet ; Mr. Webster, of St. Albans; and a third nuetlical man at legth reached the spot, and on examining the wound, pronounced it to be extremely dangerous. They remained in attendance the whole of the night ; and on Thursday moming,on again opening the wound, they unanimously declared that ampu tation was necessary, and that this operation afforded the only hope o f preserving life. At ten o'clock, the Rev. Mr. Neweome, Mr. Winter, and Mr. Beddow, assembled at the White Hart to take the depositions of the different witnesses against the prisoners, and on hearing the opirion of the surgeons, they deeme d it necewary to tske Orainge's evidence before the operation took piece. 'i'he surgeons lost no time in performing their painful duty, but still expressed their fears of the result. The Magistrates then returned to the White Hart, and examined, I in private, a vast number of witnesses, whose different statements they committed to writing. 31n. Brown, Mrs. Connolly, and the three servants, were all called in separately, and their statements were received with the utmost attention. Mrs. Brown was greatly affected, and fainted three times during the day. Mr. Connolly, who was present when the surgeons were examined, partindarly questioned them as to the mode in which the operation on tirainge was 'informed—namely, as to whether the bone bad been extracted fr om the socket, had I been splintered, or had been sawed off with a butt. We under. stand that the amputation took place just below the shoulder, and that there was no splintering. During the investigation Mr. Cont. nolly betrayed a good deal of impatience. Soon after three, the melancholy intelligence reached the Ma gistrates that Gruittge had cipired—a fact which at once decided the course they had to pursue; and, a ft er a short consultation, the determined to commit all the parties upon the charge of the wilful murder of James Orsinge, and alittimusees were made out accordingly. Mr. Connolly, and his servant Moran, were sent off in a post-chaise to Barnet, hand-cuffed together, in the custody of Frederick Propstring, the constable of that town, with directions that he should convey them to Hertford this morn ing. Mrs. Brown and her female servant were ordered to be detained at the White Hart, and to be removed to St. Allaan's yesterday ; whither also the other man servant will be sent for the present. At the close of the business of the dpy, Mr. Noel, the solicitor, ai• VRTELL AND HUI:T.—We are requested to contra who, it will be recollected, took so a ct ive a part in the prosecution II dict the statement which has appeared in several of the of the persons charged with the murder of 31 r .

Verdict Since the examination of Mr. Connelly, Moran, Mrs. Brown, and " Accidentally drowned."—Stameerd Poiur. At seven o'clock yesterday morning, Mrs. Brown, who slept as above-stated at the White Horse Tavern with her fellow-prisoner, and domestic (Catherine Morgan) arose, after a good night's sleep, and were soon after placed in a post-chaise, and conveyed in the custody of Broadley, a constable, to St. Alban's gioL Mrs. I Brown appeared to be dreadfully alarmed at the appearance of things ; but on leaving the Inn she endeavoured to appear not af fected. Catherine Morgan also appeared to be dismayed at her situation. They were ultimately placed in separate apartments, in the gaol, in which they will remain until the result of the investi gation of the Coroner's inquest. Captain Nestor, to whom Robley-house belongs, is stated to be the guardian of Mrs. Brown, under whose protection she was left by her deceased husband. The Captain was almost eon. scantly in London, and in his absence he left it in the care of Mrs. Brown and Mr. Connolly, in whom he reposed, It is said, the greatest confidence. Mr. Connolly has not long been from his native country, and left Liverpool about three months since. A Mr. Murphy, residing there, requested he would take four horses of his to London, and dispose of them to the best ad vantage, and they are now in the stables attached to Rabley-house. Connolly, about two years ago, resided at Brighton, where he kept a first-rate lodging-house ; and whilst there, a lientenaat in the navy, named Andrews, took a suit of apartments in his hens* in the name of Duboyne, and introduced a lady as Mrs. Debora. They remained there about four months, and then absconded without paying their rent. Shortly after, he ascertained that this Mr. Andrews, alias Duboyne, had eloped with the lady,' who he represented to be his wife, but was the wife of a gentleman of that name at Sheerness. In consequence of this dineovery be wrote to Mr. Andrews's brother, who held the rank of Certain in the 12th Lancers, then stationed in Dublin, wherein ite deprecated the conduct of his brother in very strong terms. Captain Andrews felt indignant at the contents of the letter, and forthwith returned an answer, demanding satisfaction front Connolly in the Geld. Mr. Connolly, who is excessively irritable, immediately est of foe Dublin to meet the Captain, and the latter, on his arrival, evaded his challenge. The consequence was, that Mr. Connolly's commission vas for a time suspended. After this Lieutenant An. thews, brother to the Captain, brought an action fordefiunation against Mr.Connofly, contained in the letters written by him to his brother. The cause was tried at the Horsham Assizes in March last, and a verdict was obtained :against Connolly in the sum of 500 L; and it was for this that the execution was issued that led to the dreadfal perpetration of the crime foe which he is now incarcerated. Connolly was married about nine years since at St. George's, Hanover-square, to a lady, a native of the West Indies, possessing innumerable charms and a vast fortune, and has one child, now living. In consequence of some disagreeable occurrences, they have resided apart, and Mrs. Connolly is now living at Portsea. It being expected that the Corona's Inquest on the body of the unfortunate Grange would be held yesterday, many persons arrived from a great distance at the White Horse, to be present at the inquiry; but on account of the previous engagements of Mr. Hooke, the Coroner, it was adjourned till this day. _. . ------,___ _ Mr. Connolly, the brother of the accused, has been at Shenley since the committal of the deed, and intends to remain there until after the Coroner's Inquest. He appeared to be dreadfully af. fected at his brother's situation. Alf. Noel, who bas been employed as solicitor to Mn.s Brown, was expected at the White Hone Tavern at about ten o'clock last night. liabley House is situated in the lane called Shenley Hal-lane, about midway between Shenk) , and South Mantua. It is two stocks high, and has a carriage entrance. The house is surrounded by • lawn, and on one side is a very large fish-pond. It is elegantly furnished, and lies about 20 yards from the lane. Expresses were sent off late last night to the surgeons who at tended the deceased, and also to Watson the Sheriff's Officer, and several other persons, desiring their presence at the Inquest. PORTSMOrTH, JAN.

It has blown very hard all day. The outward-bound remain all well. The I jasper, Captain Arbuthnot, passed through :pithead yesterday, for Brighton. His Majesty's ship Tribune is arrived at Ply ttttt uth front Gibraltar, which she left on the night of the Stith. Sir W. Curtis, in his yacht, sailed in company with his Majesty's sloop 1 Weazle, from Gibraltar for the Mediterranean, on the 14th. The George the Fourth steamer was alternately employed between Cadiz and Gibraltar, and 3lalwa and Gibraltar. She conveyed Admiral Arias to Cadiz to take the command of the squadron fitting out by Ferdinand for South America. The Asia, 71, a frigate, and three brigs, were the only Spanish men of war at Cadiz ; they were far front being in a condition to go to sea. The Tribune spoke the Revenge, Vice-Admiral Sir IlarTy Neale, DC Cape Spartel„ on her way to relieve the Rochetiert. When the Tribune left Gibraltar there was no ship of war lying there. The troops in gemMm were, the 12th,, 43rd, filth, and 75th. On the .arrival of the 23d regiment from Ireland, the 75th will embark in the same ships for England. Tuesday se'nnight, Lieutenant Pulling, 11. N. Chief Officer of the Preventive Station at Hurst Castle, seized, on the north shore, 106 casks of ha eign spirits. Forty tubs of spirits and two fla gons were picked up off Calshot Castle by Captain Chandler. On Wednesday se'nnight. the preventive boat stationed at Leap seized 122 tubs of foreign spirits, which were cut adri ft from a smuggling vessel inside the Needles. The Tribune is refitting at Plymouth for foreign service. bat by the last advice re-shipped,, and both Tomei% others, were ready for sea. The cargo of the Gustave had been sent to England and Holland.

DISEASES OF MUSICIANS, AND THE EFFECTS OF PRACTISING ON THE PIANO-FORTE, HARP, VIOLIN, FLUTE, Sm. We shall preface this important subject by the follow ing extract from M. Stendhal's Life of Rossini, just pub lished at Paris. " Dr. Cottugno, the principal physician at Naples, told me, at the time of the extraordinary sue. cess of Rossini's opera Moise,' that he had more than forty cases of brain fever, or violent convulsions, with which young females, doatingly fond of music, were seised, chiefly from the superb change of tone in the prayer of the Hebrews, in the third act." We do not indeed anticipate such catastrophes among our own colder temperaments, even from the enchantment of Rossini, who has just im ported his musical talents, and his intriguing trim. eon. character, to delight our fahhionables at the Haymarket Opera-house. The fashionable enthusiasm for the Opera seems to be pure hypocrisy and cant, and was well des cribed by poor Bloomfield : The music was truly enchanting, Bight glad was I when I came near It But in fashion I found 1 was wanting, 'Twits the fashion to talk and not hear it. We cannot anticipate much evil to the hearers from music, so long as difficult execution is preferred to effect and pathos ; and so long as the public taste is so ladyficd as to applaud Sinclair for singing the sublime war song of Bannockburn—" Scots wha ha 'e w 1 Wallace bled"—in the same tone of prettvism and drawing-room gesture as he would give " Love among the Hoses." But it is with the performing we have chiefly to do: we shall prescribe for the listeners anon. It is established, then, on the best evidence, that prac tising or performing much on musical instruments, is ex tremely weakening and injurious to the nerves; and though not always, it very often lays the foundation for trembling hands, shaking palsy, incurable nervous headaches, pains, tic douloureux, and even disordered mind and insanity. Let those who think this exaggerated try the following PdI'BICAI. EXPERIMENT. Practise for an hour, if you have not lately been prac tising much, or for two hours if you have, on either the flute, the harp, or the violin ; and aftvrwanls try with out the instrument to sing in a clear steady tone of voice, and we venture to say, that unless your nerves are very firmly strung, you will find your voice tremulous, out of tune, and unmanageable ; or stretch out your arm or hand, and you will find it shake. Recollect we do not say this will happen with the vigorous and =bust ; but even in them the effect will often be perceptible, and in the weak and nervous it will often be strikingly so. This de monstrates, most clearly, that the effect of practising music for hours daily is, to say the least of it, far from being safe even to the strong, while it must be deleterious to the weak and sickly, independent of the bad postures usually adopted, and th e encroschment made on the valuable time for exercise in the open air. On commencing the harp or violin we have often seen severe nervous fevers, brought on from the effet of the music on the nerves, and from the irritation of the tender nerves at the extremities of the fingers. The best way to prevent this irritation is to strengthen the skin over those nerves by the MIXTt•ItE FOR HART AND VIOLIN TERTORIIII.I%/1.
