Our town was never fuller of company since it bos been a place of public resort; ass proof of it, the late bill of the Master of the Ceremonies was attended by 800 persons. Notwithstanding the great influx of company, the price of lodgings is very moderate; this may be owing to the continued increase of buildings, although they are by no means crowded, for most of the streets, detached houses, &c., are so contrived as to be open and airy. It is to be regretted that the necessaries of life ere not more moderate, poultry, &c. being one-third dearer than in the adjoining comity of Hereford. The Spas are thronged every morning, where bands attend to play from eight to ten o'clock. The band at Mr. Thompson's Spa is led by Mr. Par. nell, the second leader of the Covent-garden theatre band. This morning they played the po. puler air II We're e' noddia'," arranged for a full band ; and the delightful glee, I. When Sappho lamed," was performed with so much taste, that the absence of the most refined glee singers was scarcely to be regretted. A new temple is nearly finished for this band to perform in. In consequence of the stunt news of the days and the cold weather, the bands at the different Spas discontinued performing in the even ings, at six o'clock, as they were accustomed to do in the summer; but they now play from half-past three o'clock till five: the promenades to them are pretty numerously attended by the company pre vious to dinner, and after visiting the libraries, taking rides, walks, attending auctions, &c. The rides are very circumscribed, being principally confined to High-street and the rides attached to the Spas, owing to the enormous and imposing charge of sixpence for every horse at every entrance to the town where there are turnpike -gates. Among the nobility who are here who grace the Spa Promenade are, the Earl of Cathcart and family, and Lord Glenbervie. The bells rang a merry peal on Saturday night, on the arrival of the Earl and Countess of Coventry and family. A fancy dress ball is to take place to-morrow everia,g, at the Assembly Rooms, under the direc tion of a Coritmittee of she following gentlemen:— Riot Hon. Mugh Elliot, Hon.

The town and visitors not being in possession of foamy dresses suitable to this species of entertain ment, a tradesman of the town wss induced to go to London, to make purchases of a great assortment of dresses suitable for the occasion, and has returned with them ; and they are displayed at the window. of the spacious rooms on the first floor over Wit liums's library, for the inspection of the public, %ditch attract much intention. Mrs. Salmon is announced in perform in a eoneert of vocal and instrumental music on the 2J of Oc tober; the band is to he led try Mr. Loder.of Bath. Mtss Stephens is expected to perform in a few days. The Theatre is extremely prosperous under the management of Mr. Abbott and Mr. Farley, in which they embarked at the auegestion of Colonel Berkeley, who occasionally perform. as an timateu.„ Thete are several other London performers in the company ; among them are Mr. and Mrs. Connor, Mrs. Marlowe. and Lthas Forde.

MUSICAL A PECDOTS.—The celebrated HANDEL being ranee in a country church, asked the organist to permit him to play the people out, io which he coarse consented. MARIMBA accordingly set down and began to ploy in such a masterly manner st instantly to attract the attention of the whole congregation, alto. instead of vacating their seat. a,' usual, r ema i ne d f or *considerable space of time fixed in silent admiration. The organist begun to be impatient (perhaps his wife ass waiting dinner), and at length addressing the pyrformer, said, be was convinced ge could not ploy the people ow, and advised him to relinquish the attempt ; which done, a few strains in the accnstomed roomer ope. rated like reading the Riot Act, by immediately dispersing the **diesel. . kb* ikoii iii i i is t . A Gciieral ()natter Coed leas held yesfirday at the Coniptiiirs House iii Leidenhilll-street. The Secretary rend Al minutes of ISe last Court; and sundry retards' andacenunts which Sre required to be laid before the Court pursuant to Acts of Parliament. After which; Mr. R. JACKSON rose, to inquire whether any thember of the Court had aiij/ information al to the probable period of Lord Hastings's departure froili Calcutta I The Caarillsit replied there *di no official in formation no the subject. Mr. IL Jacusdk said, it had been underitood that Lord Hastings would stay till the arrival of his succe.sor. Though he deopuired of its belog within the range of human events, yet if it were possilile that he should stay till an application could he made to him to continue the Government for some time longer, he was assured he spoke the sense of every Proprietor when he said that such :in event *mild he most desirable for the honour and interest of the Company. Should it be too late for an opportunity of that sort, the honour, and a proud one it was, would again revert to them of appointing a Gover nor-General. He had no reason, from the last ap pointment, to anticipate blame ; had that Right Hon. Gentleman gone to India, they would have found in him a Governor-General from whose well *tried talents every advantage might have b•en ex pected. He trusted he would still be useful to his country in another situation. He would not re peat the sentimetits which he had expressed respecting the appointment of a Governor-Ge neral on a former occasion. The Directors would listen to no suggestions but those which arose from the influence of talent and charac ter, and if they preserved that magnanimity and resolution which on more than one occasion had characterised them—if they would set their fares against every application but what had for its ob ject known talent and Integrity, and, if possible, a cotnpetent knowledge of the •frairs of India—if they so acted, he knew he spoke a common senti ment when he said that the Proprietors could then say, " Our Directors have maintained that charac ter which they have an well sustained on more titan one occasion;'' and the principle would be esta blished, that though in ordinary coujunctures cir cumstances exercise a controlling power, yet the Government of India was established on the prin ciple of not bending to any political considerations whatever. Mr. LOWN De/ congratulated the Court on the Right Hon. Gentleman not having sailed for India, for no man was more competent to till the situation held by a late unfortunate Nobleman. He was the Paining: that was required at the helm to steer the State vessel in safety. He was sorry to say there were persons in Europe who rejoiced at the unfortunate event to which he had Winded. The Hon. Proprietor proceeded to complain of a mis take which had occurred at a late election fur a Di rector in the number of his votes. The CHAIRMAN suggested whether the mistake had cot better be adjusted IN private. Mr. Lowsocs coincided in that opinion, and to 'hew them that he bore them no ill will for depriv ing him of his vote, knowing they would dine to gether today, ha had a haunch of veouton which was at their service. —(A laugh.) The CHAIRMAN was much obliged to the Hon. Proprietor, althoogh the proceeding was ratl.er in formal, and looked like a bribe, yet he did not mean to resist it, but to swallow it, and hoped the Hon. Proprietor would favour them with his coin pauy at dinner. NAVAL DISCIPLINE. t Mr. CHALMERS said that som e considerable time , had elapsed since he rose iii that Court to Speak on' a subject highly important to their naval service ; since then no opportunity had occurred to renew' the discussion. As sit old Sailor. he felt the hard ships sustained by some officers, who in the exer cise of • sound discretion for the maintenance of discipline and subordination, had been obliged to inflict punishments, fur which, when actions were brought against them, Juries had decided that they had dune rightly ; yet after obtaining verdicts in their favour nothing was forthcoming for their expense., from the poverty of the parties who had brought the actions. He instanced the case of Captain Younghushand as one of peculiar hard ship. What he asked for was, that where officers resisted successfully, when actions were broyolit against them, that they should be reimbursed b ? the Company, whose tutetests they had maintained in the preservation of discipline. What he now threw out was by way of notice, in order that the subject might be mote fully gone into on a future occasion, when he hoped to have the assistance of the Learned Gentleman who sat below ham (Mr. H. Jackson.) ' Mr. RANDAL JACKSON doubted the propriety of laying down any general rule of the nature alluded to by the Hon. Proprietor. He thought it would lie better to leave it to the discretion of the Di rectors. whom they all knew were never backward when soy cave fur remuneration was made out. Mr. CHALMERS said, that in Captain Noting hustimid's case an objection was made, lest it should be drawn into a precedent. The COMMIS AIS said, the only mode, as it struck him, was by application to the Company ; and he believed he might soy, that to all reasonable appli canons they were greyer slow to attend. but it would be very inconveoiesit if matters of this nature should be discussed in a General Court. Afier some conversatioto, rise subject was dropped. The CHAIRMAN said, that, with respect to the appointment alluded to by the Learned Gentleman (Mr. R. Jackson) he would only say, that the Director, felt duly impressed with the importance of the duties imputed upon them. In reply to it question from Mr. TBAWT, the CHAIRMAN wig, that from every private info►maa tion Lord Hiptings was anxious to return 011 se couut of the viittinnii of his own family. It was their duty uow to look out for a competent succes sor. and be hoped that no more would be said about Lord Havtings. It was agreed by every one Sh u t h e was a great unto. and that his departure from lodise would be a severe loss to that country. The question of adjoisenosout was then put, and the Court adjsiarned eccordiegly.
