Sale, the musical instructor of Her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria, held his Annual Benefit Concert at these Rooms yesterday morning, under the pa tronage of the Duchess of Kent, and her illustrious daughter. Mr. Sale had secured the able assistance of Mademoiselle Grisi, Mrs. Bishop, and Misses C. Novello and F. Healey ; Master Howe, Messrs. Braham, Hawkins, Goulden, Hobbs, Vaughan, Walmisley, Phillips, and Signor Tamburini. An excellent band was engaged, em bracing the members of the Philharmonic and Ancient Concerts led by Mori. Mr. George Sale was the conductor. The scheme embraced a numerous selection of excellent compositions; in the dramatic school, from the works of Purcel, Beethoven, Spohr, and Rossini ; in the madrigal and glee, from Cooke, Arne, Walmisley, and Elliott ; instrumental, Mozart, Weber, and Hummell ; choral, Handel, and Haydn. The glees were well sung, and their choice reflected the highest credit upon Mr. Sale's taste and judgment. Moore's Anacreontic Glee was given with much feeling by Messrs. Hawkins, Hobbs, Walmisley (the composer), and Sale. The last movement is elegant and novel ; and Mr. Hobbs, in his performance of the accompanied melody, left us nothing to desire. The interrupted ca dence upon the A with the sharp sixth, is a good adaptation of an instrumental position for the voices. Mr. Braham sang with great feeling the beautiful scena entitled Adelaida, by Beethoven, and was accompanied upon the pianoforte by Mr. sale with corresponding taste. Mr. Hobbs, in the song from Purcel, and Miss Novello, in the Tyrolienne, ascribed (but with what truth we know not) to the sound composer Panseron, severally obtained the favourable opinion of the audience. The solo in C minor from the Arther and Emmeline of Purcel, sung by Mr. Phillips, is so dramatic in its character, and its modulations are so unexpected and varied, that if it had the advantages of the modern disposition of an orchestral score, it might be imagined to be the composition of a Weber or a Spohr. The progression from the E natural to the F, bearing the chord of the flat sixth at the words " Let me, let me freeze again," is a splendid instance that genius is of no clime or country —no age or time. Weber's overture to the Ruler of the Spirits was delightfully performed, and Mrs. Anderson, in Hummell's rondo (from the concerto in A flat, dedicated to her Majesty), displayed a most powerful finger and a just appreciation of the many excellent conceptions of the composer. The chorus from the Alexander's Feast of Handel, " The many rend the skies" upon a ground bass, is incomparable in its apparently simple, and yet learned dispositions, and abounding in the most graceful and varied melody. We have lately had occasion to mention the quin tett in A of Mozart, which was performed by Willman, Mori, Watts, Moralt, and Lindley. The same remark ap plies to the fine fugue from the first Grand Mass of Haydn. Grisi and Tamburini sang the duett in the second act of L'Assedio di Corinto, which is one of the most favourable specimens of Rossini's abilities. But with such a voice, and such capabilities as this lady possesses, she might sing the music backward to an untutored audience, and yet secure unrestained and enthusiastic admiration. Mr. Phillips fol lowed her steps, and insinuated an encore from the audience in a foolish ballad which it is unnecessary to dignify by par ticularizing. Tamburini secured the silent homage and grateful remembrances of those who had " music in their souls," by his performance of the grand scena in E major, from the second act of the Faust of Spohr. It is one of those compositions which draw " tears of deep delight" from the heart, and, under the influence of its effects, the soul becomes— Uplifted to the purest sky Of undisturbed humanity. The Signor's conception of this magnificent scena wa s f u ll y equal to that of Lablache, who gave it with such power at the last Philharmonic Concert. In either hands Mephisto pheles would have a most able representative. To the mu l i - sical student this composition is a profound study, and in it is apparently condensed the peculiar characteristics of this author's method of orchestral writing. We should recom mend the Directors of the Ancient Concert to have this song inserted in the programme of one of the concerts of that society, in order that they might (for once) be intro duced to and learn to appreciate the prodigious power of that harmony called the German sixth. This chord, either in a simple or compound state, occurs many times in the composition ; and in several instances Spohr gives it the character of three distinct and opposite harmonies, by the consummate skill displayed in disposing it for the instru ments. In one or two cases, where it appears upon th e C natural, the effect conveyed to the ear is as if the composer had simultaneously employed the anomalous triads of C natural, F sharp, and E natural. Truly, as Chri s t op h er North says, " Genius is naturally a holy thing," and " the . spirit bows before it" with humble and thankful devotion. The composition abounds in the most abstruse and enhar monic modulations, and yet are so artfully constructed, that few have an idea of their remote connection ; and the in version of the subject, which appears towards . the cl ose o f the movement, is the result of the most ingenious and fer vid imagination. We are exceedingly desirous to hear these great and accomplished musicians (Lablache and Tam burini) in this splendid specimen of operatic writing, and after the decided success of the Fidelio of Beethoven, no reasonable doubt can exist of the same result attending the production of this best specimen of Spohr's learning and genius. The room was crowded with a most numerous as semblage of beauty and fashion ; and their Royal High nesses testified their gratification by witnessing the whole of the performance. Viscount Fitzharris arrived in Park-street, a few days ago, from a tour. SUBSCRIPTION TO SUPPORT MESSRS. O'CON NELL AND RUTIIVEN.—A meeting has been held at the Royal Hotel in this city, to defray such expenses as may be incurred by the sitting Members, in consequence of the Commission now sitting on the Dublin Election Petition, and to defeat the audacious attempt of the Tory party to destroy the freedom of election in Dublin. The meeting, though not announced in the public journals, was most respectably attended, and in less than a quarter of an hour 4001. was subscribed by a few of the gentlemen present. CHURCH RATES.—We have heard, although we doubt the truth of the statement—.but we have just heard, that the late Churchwardens of Bungay St. Mary, having instituted proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court against several respectable individuals of that town, who object on principle to the payment of Church Rates, have actually proceeded so far as to issue an attachment for taking the body of Mr. John Childs, in order to his being lodged in our County gaol. We understand, the Churchwardens of Bungay have set up a troop of choristers in their Church, for the payment of whose sa laries, and the washing of whose surplices, they are about to consign those of their respectable neighbours to a prison, who conscientiously refuse to pay. Our informant assures us (and he has given us his name), that the warrant is actually in the hands of the Sheriff's officer for execution, whenever Mr. Childs returns from London, where he is known to have been transacting business during the last week. We wait the re auk, reserving such remarks as naturally arise until we see the development of this extraordinary proceeding. But, we re peat, that we can scarcely believe the truth of this statement, because we know that Mr. Bobbit, one of the prosecutors, was himself, until very lately, a Dissenter, and that Mr. Scott, the other, was brought up in similar principles, his father having been for many years, and was at his death, a Member of the Independent Meeting here, and his mother was originally one of the Society of Friends.—Correspondent of the Suffolk Chronicle. The vanity of our Gallic neighbours has long been proverbial. A better proof of the truth of this accusation cannot be given than that which occurred a few nights ago in the opera-box of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, when it was invaded by a colony of newly-arrived French, who loudly maintained the ignorance of the English, and their want of taste in music. A gentleman who ventured to differ with them in opinion, and who supported his argument by pointing out the good taste and discrimination with which every fine . passage in the opera was applauded, was silenced, though 'act convinced, by being gravely told that the London aw . .. t i ence only applauded what they had heard had been aPPl. a uded at Paris, on the same principle, w e su pp ose , as t h e E:,,glish ladies adopt the Paris hats and bonnets. W e t rus t l'„ at our French correspondent will inform us, by return o f post, of the pas sages that we ought to admire in th e .WQ new forthcoming operas, otherwise we may commit s e plau dits.—Morning Paper. s ole solecism i n our /atzn THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, IVIAY 9, 1835. MEETING OF LEITH ELECTORS. Monday, at a numerous meeting of the electors of Leith, held in the Chapel, Storrie's Alley, there, for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments of the candidates for the represen tation of the district in regard to the Trinity Harbour Bill, and the respective plans for the improvement of the Port of Leith : The LORD ADVOCATE said his opinion was, that in justice to Leith, the Trinity Harbour Bill should be opposed ; but if a Select Committee of the House of Commons was appointed, and he included among the members, he would then act with out any bias, by not only hearing, but, like a judge, impartially deciding on the statements of all parties. His present opinion was, that the Trinity Harbour would be most injurious to Leith, and most ruinous to those engaged it. He also knew that this Trinity Harbour would cost at least double the esti mate, and if this circumstance could be proved before the Committee, it would be sufficient to throw out the bill. Another reason of his being in favour of Leith in opposition to Trinity was the circumstance of Leith being already subject to great and undue burdens ; and he really never could see any just rea son why the people of Leith should be taxed to maintain the clergy of Edinburgh but it would not be so easy to get quit of what had been established for centuries, at least if he might judge from the opposition he had already encountered from the old Town Council of Edinburgh, and he was also afraid he must say from the new. He was not pledged to sup port a Bill for a harbour at Trinity, or any where else in the vicinity ; that he entirely approved of the power being vested in Commissioners, popularly chosen, but that in conse quence of the large debt due to the Government, a certain number of those Commissioners would require to be appointed by the Government ; and that the Commission should not be numerous, because the smaller the number the greater the re sponsibility ; though, as a Member of Parliament, he would use his influence against the Trinity Bill, yet if any one sup posed that he would employ his official influence as Lord Ad vocate for such a purpose, he would be much mistaken. And, he added, if a Select Committee was appointed, the Trinity Bill must receive fair play from that Committee. HERRING FISHERY IN THE SHET- LAND ISLANDS. A statement which appeared in several papers a few days since shows a progressive increase of the Herring Fishery in the Shetland Islands for the last four years. Few persons are, however, aware of the vast extension and improvement of which this branch of our fisheries is susceptible in that va luable, but hitherto neglected portion of the empire. The islands of Shetland form an archipelago of nearly one hundred in number, several of them of considerable size; and they possess a line of coast of full 500 miles, indented by nu merous fine sheltered havens. The largest island, which is 60 miles long, and about 20 in its greatest breadth, is so in tersected by these inlets of the sea, that there is not a spot in it distant three miles from salt water. Besides other fish in abundance, the quantity of herrings which swarm round these coasts from May until October and November, is immense. The islands, although very thinly peopled in proportion to their extent, contain a population of 31,000 souls. The pre dilection of the male part of this population for maritime pur suits is universal. They may, in fact, be said to be seamen of Nature's making, and the value of such a population will be best appreciated, when it is known that from four thousand hardy natives of the Shetland Islands contributed to man the navy and fight the battles of Britain during the last war—a period of unexampled difficulty in the efficient manning of our fleets. When these circumstances are considered, it cannot but excite a feeling of something more than surprize when we state that these islands, which have formed either an ap pendage of the Scottish Crown or an integral portion of Great Britain for a period of nearly 400 years, and possess such ca pabilities of improvement, remain even to the present day, as far as regards the attention of the British Government, or the enterprize of the British caritalist, a complete terra incognita. Such, however, is the fact. The valuable Herring Fishery on their coasts has, until within these four years past, been left in the undisturbed posses sion of foreigners. Even now, the Dutch and Embdeners employ annually about 150 large doggers, manned by 2000 men, on the coasts of Shetland, in the Herring Fishery. These foreigners encroach, too, with impunity, upon the rights of the native fishermen, by entering their bays and setting their long nets close to the shore, a proceeding which the law of nations certainly does not warrant, and which the smallest armed vessel would be sufficient to prevent. But even this appears to be too much attention to be be stowed upon these poor fishermen. They have only been honoured with the peculiar notice of Government, when men were required for the Navy. Then, indeed, they have been deemed worthy of the superintendence of a frigate. They have been made sensible that there were British subjects, by their country being overrun by bands of armed rnffians in the shape of Press Gangs—by their humble dwellings being violated without warrant or legal authority of any kind—by the husband, the father, the brother, or the son, being dragged in the dead of night from the midst of their distracted fami lies, and hurried off on board a ship of war, to some distant part of the world. But when the emergency was over—when peace had rendered the services of the Shetlander no longer necessary—not the slightest attention has ever been paid to the improvement of their condition. The inexhaustible store of wealth which the bountiful hand of Nature has poured round these coasts, and placed within the reach, almost at the door of every inhabitant, as if to com pensate for the want of a richer soil and more genial climate, has been rendered unavailable, from the inability of the people to raise the small amount of capital requisite to procure boats and nets ; and while no part of the British empire holds out so great a reward to industry, it is lamentable to think that there are at this moment in the isles, some thousands of able bodied men without employment. We are glad, therefore, to observe, by an advertisement In another part of The Sun, that an attempt is at last about being made to rescue the Shetland Islands from the state of neglect in which they have so long been suffered to remain, by the formation of an Association to (extend and improve their fisheries. We consider the undertaking one of the most legi timate that could have been set on foot, and heartily wish it success, as it possesses strong claims to encouragement both from the Government and the public; and we hesitate not to say, that while it will be the greatest boon that could possibly be conferred on the poor industrious inhabitants, it cannot fail, under judicious management, to prove a lucrative concern to those who have embarked in it ; for in no part of the king dom can natural advantages for prosecuting the herring fishery be found equal to those possessed by the Shetland Islands. HAMBURG PAPERS. BERLIN, APRIL 29.—The return of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, which was not to take place till the Autumn, is expected shortly, because, as it is said, the changes that have taken place in England in the constitution of the Ministry, have made the residence there disagreeable to his Royal Highness. The Duke's family will reside during the Summer in the Palace of Schonhausen, the park of which has lately been much improved. HANOVER, APRIL 20.—The Duke of Cambridge is not going to Vienna to compliment the new Emperor ; but his Majesty has lately ordered the Cabinet Minister, General Count Alten, to go to Vienna for that purpose. We learn positively that the Duke will proceed, by the shortest route, from Berlin to London, for which place the Duchess of Cambridge and the two Princesses set out yesterday morning. We hear that the resolution of his Majesty, in answer to the wishes of the General Assembly of the Estates, respecting the convention with Brunswick, relative to the Custom-house du ties, were received here with the last mail from England, so that the publication of the legislative measures on the subject may be expected in a short time.

TRIAL OF THE ♦CCUSED OF THE PLOT ♦ND INSURRECTIONS OF APRIL, 1834. [CONTINUATION OF THE SITTING OF WEDNESDAY.) Our report of yesterday brought the proceedings down to the retirement of the Court to deliberate on the demand of the Procureur-General that M. Cavaignac be punished for interrupting the proceedings of the Court. In the absence of the Peers and the law officers of the Crown—a period of at least four hours—during which all judicial proceedings were of course suspended, the troops stationed outside were ordered under arms as a measure of precaution. At about 20 minutas before five o'clock s a huisseur an nounced the return of the Peers and the law officers of the Crown, who had quitted the Court at a quarter before one ; but at least another quarter of an hour elapsed previously to their re-appearance. At this moment all the barristers, with the exception of nine, quitted the benches on which they had taken their seats. The President then, in a firm tone of voice, read the following decision :—'• Considering that facts of some gravity have taken place during the pro ceedings of this day—that several accused individuals, by clamour, tumult, and violence, have impeded the course of justice, in spite of the warnings of the President—the Court recognizes the conclusions of the Procureur-General with regard to the prisoner Cavaignac ; unites the incident with the main question, that both may be judged at the same time, and resolves that, in the event of new disorders breaking out, the necessary measures shall be taken to ensure the tranquillity of the proceedings, and the free course of justice." Immediately after the reading of the above, the Presi dent declared the sitting adjourned till tomorrow (Thurs day), at twelve o'clock. The prisoner Martin demanded to be heard ; the Peers, however, withdrew, and some further agitation was displayed on the prisoners' benches. A military officer then suddenly gave the word of command to the municipal guards, who immediately marched out of the hall of audience with the prisoners. Adjourned at five o'clock. COURT OF PEERS.—(THURSDAY, THIRD DAY.) Contrary to the understanding, that the Court would sit only on the Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Satur days of each week, it was intimated yesterday evening that the proceedings would be resumed this day. The outer doors opened at the usual hour (11 o'clock). The approaches to the Palace, and the garden, were more scrupulously guarded than yesterday. Patrols of the 12th Regiment of Dragoons were to be seen, in addition to the municipal guards ti cheval, and there wag an increased seriousness of aspect perceptible among the military and police officers, which indicated their having received fresh and positive instructions to enforce order. On entering the gallery, or shelf, accorded to the press, we found all the other tribunes (galleries) empty. The same observation applied to the benches of the barristers, wit nesses, and accused. It was not until half-past eleven o'clock that the witnesses for the prosecution entered their box. They were, I believe, the same individuals who had previously figured in it, with the addition of two or three lancers. At a quarter to twelve another detachment of municipal guards entered from the side next the prison, and were followed by the accused, from Lyons, who approached and again occupied the front rows of the space reserved for them. As on yesterday several wore blouses of coarse blue linen or canvas, with glazed leather hats and red bands. One of them wore a white blouse, and one, or two wore the white waistcoat, a la Robespierre. The Paris prisoners were next introduced, led, we may say, by M. Cavaignac. They were dressed, as yesterday, and in general wore casquettes (caps), some of them displaying a little foppery, but the appearance, after all, in spired any thing but contempt, and suggested any thing but ridicule. Their costume was, in some instances, fantastic ; but their sufferings appear to have been borne by them with a manliness truly respectable. The place which they occupy in the Court is admirably calculated to set them off, for, viewed from the exalted place to which we have attained, they appear as if in the pit of a well lighted theatre. There was evidently excitement among them, and an air of pugnaciousness—a willingness "to show fight," that is, nevertheless, pardonable in a body of 120 m en, who have suffered 13 months' imprisonment, to the utter ruin of the families and prospects of many of them. Gradually the witnesses for the defence entered the box. Amorig them was one woman said to be one of those attacked, and who escaped narrowly being butchered by the ruthless 35th Regiment, in the rue Transnonain. At a quarter-past 12 the Peers entered, headed by Marshal Mortier, who appears not to be popular. Their names having been called over, the President intimated that the proceedings were about to commence, when one or two of the Lyons prisoners rose, as did at the same time an elderly Advocate (in his robes), who having obtained leave of the Court, proceeded to object, en limine, to the con stitution of the Court. His principal object was to challenge the Peers who had drawn up the indictment. MM. Baune, Lagrange, and others called for leave to offer some observations. As the President had consented to allow M. Crivelli to speak, they expected he would grant them the same favour before the bill of indictment was read. M. Maillefer, of Marseilles, next rose and observed that before the Attorney-General commenced reading the bill of indictment, the Counsel they had chosen should be in troduced, otherwise they would be under the necessity of abstaining from offering any defence. The question of the competency of the Court, which was supported by a large minority of the Members of the Court, should also be de cided, before the Court could take another step. The President said that the question of the Counsel had been settled on the first day, and should not again be brought forward. " Well," exclaimed the entire of the accused, " you will have to try us by contumace. We are determined on making no defence." The declaration of the accused was made rather clamo rously, and the municipal guards, obeying the orders of the Court and those of their Colonel, present at the audience, compelled them to sit down. M. Martin, the Attorney-General, then spoke at some length on the question of competency ; and in answer to M. Crivelli, who had invoked the Criminal Code, to jus tify the opinion he had expressed respecting the propriety of excluding the Members of the Tribunal who had drawn up the bill of indictment, ended by stating that the Court was not bound to conform to the Criminal Code. M. Crivelli cited a precedent in which the Court of I'eers had adopted the course prescribed by the Criminal Code, and stated, that having in one instance adopted it, they could not with propriety depart from it in the present case. " That is your personal opinion ?" observed the President. " No," exclaimed all the accused. "It is our unanimous resolve " M. Revershon then rose and called on the President to consult his co-accused, and he would find that they did not disown him. M. Lagrange next spoke, and in the most energetic terms protested against the manner in which the prosecution had been conducted since the commencement. They were torn away by force from their families, friends, and their natural judges to be delivered up to an exceptional Com mission. The ruin of the fortune and health of many of his co-accused had been completed by the rigours they had had to endure. The regimen of the prison in which they were confined was most barbarous ; they were often denied even the consolation of embracing their fathers, mothers, sisters, friends, and often could not consult with their Ad vocates. He also animadverted on the manner in which the auditory was composed. Some privileged individuals, pro vided with tickets from their judges, were admitted to see them as a curiosity ; but their parents, brothers, and friends, and the people who were, in his opinion, the real republic, were carefully excluded. After again declaring that they had not the necessary freedom in presenting their defence, he protested with all his might - against the decision of the Court denying them the choice of their Counsel. A general movement here took place among the accused who joined in the protest of M. Lagrange. The President, unable to obtain silence, ordered the mu nicipal guards to make the prisoners sit down, which was executed with a savageness they had not displayed in the two preceding audiences. M. Pasquier then ordered the prisoners to be forcibly re moved from the hall, and announced that the sitting would be suspended for a while. The removal of the prisoners was effected with conside rable confusion, the accused continuing to protest, as they left the hall, against the tyranny of the Court. " Order us at once to the scaffold!" exclaimed Lagrange. The sol diers literally pushed the accused out of the ball, and we saw one of them lay violent hands on one of the sub-officers of the cuirassiers, and the latter turning round and daring him to repeat his violence. The Court was also cleared, the Judges having retired into the Council Room. At two o'clock the Court returned, and the President read the result of their determination, which went to reject the appeal of M. Crivelli. M. Martin, of Lyons, begged leave to make some re marks. He went over the san•:e grievances exposed by M. Lagrange, and protested, in the name of the Republican party, against the tyranny of the Court, in denying them the choice of their Counsel, and offered them his head, which he said they might cut off, as they had already done those of some of his political friends ; but he warned them that their sentence would be branded with infamy by pos terity. The whole plot, he said, was gotten up by the Government ; and the Judges were already predetermined to convict. No sooner had M. Martin sit down, than all the accused rose in a mass, and protested that they would not subniit to such a mock simulacra of justice. The Attorney-General succeeded, and said—l call on the Court—(" For our heads !" exclaimed M. Baune—a profound sensation}—to adopt such measures as are at their disposal to command respect, and to cause the bill of indict ment to be read forthwith by M. Cauchy, the Secretary of the Court. The President, agreeably to the Attorney-General's de sire, directed M. Cauchy to proceed with the bill of indict ment ; but no sooner had the latter commenced, than somo of the prisoners inquired what he was abo u t. "He is reading the bill of indictment , " said an officer of the Court. " We will not allow it before we are assisted by our Coun sel ;" and all the prisoners again tumultuously rose, and by their attitude and expostulations amidst the soldiers, who, this time, remained immovable , no t knowing how to execute the severe orders of their chiefs, offered the spectacle of one of the most dramatic scenes that can be imagined. A mo ment of silence being restored, M. Cau ch y was again pre paring to go on with the bill of indictment, when M. Baune rose, and, in the midst of the acclamations of his brethren, read a paper drawn up in the name of all the accused of Paris, Luneville, Epinal, Marseilles, Arbois, and most of those of Lyons, which we could not hear, but suppose it to contain a protest on their part against the legality of the Court to sit as their judges. The President in vain gave orders to stop him ; he continued with calm and in a &in voice, to read the manuscript to the end, without the two municipal guards placed at his sides making an attempt to snatch the paper out of his hands. The Attorney-General, on his side, read several articles of the code, enacting penalties against the disturbers of order in the Courts, and cal!nd upon the President to apply them to the prisoners. M. Cauchy also continued reading. Nothing could equal the confusion that ensued. When the President found it impossible to allay the effervescence of the accused, he ordered them to be taken back to the prison, and the Court to retire. We again noticed several acts of violence committed by the soldiers, but we must say they were blamed by the officers. One of the accused, Caussadiere, was in an extraordinary state of excitement, and a municipal guard, who had laid his hand upon him, was made to repent of his cowardice. BANK OF ENGLAND.
