The resignation of Ministers was formally an nounced last night—by the Duke of WELLINGTON in the House of Lords, and by Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House of Commons. His Grace's speech on the occasion was remarkably brief, as if he were desirous to get rid of a disagreeable duty as soon as possible ; but the Right Hon. Baronet entered into something, like details. After stating that himself and his col leag adopted their present course " with the utmost reluctance," because they were in possession of ceived from his MAJESTY " the most cordial and un remitting support ;" he added, that they had not (Toile so, " without the deepest conviction of its necessity." The vote of last night, they considered tantamount to a declaration of " a want of confidence in Government;" and such being the case, they felt that they could no longer retain office with honour to themselves, or advan tage to the country ; especially as they were " firmly resolved to adhere to the principle of the Tithe Bill— firmly resolved, whatever were the difficulties with re spect to tithes, not to adopt the principle of the vote of last night." This is taking the right view of the question, though we cannot but regret that Ministers did not adopt it long before. They might have known from the constitution of the House, on the very first week of the Session, that they had no earthly chance of carrying any Irish Church Reform which did not involve the principle of appropriation. To this there was a pledged majority ; and had they yielded to its wishes at once, instead of putting off concession to the latest possible moment, they would have saved themselves much labour and anxiety, and the public business much embarrassment. However they are gone now—better late than never—and with them, as we observed yes terday, expires the last hope of Toryism. The , puny rush-light has emitted its last flickering glare, and is extinguished. Henceforth, every step taken in the political world, will he a step onward. Day by day, we shall remove further and further from the principles of Toryism, till, on looking back, we find the giant dwindled to a dwarf in the distance. For this the Tories have, in a great degree, them selves to blame. It was they who produced the re action that has overwhelmed them. Had they re mained quiescent, they might possibly have protracted the hour of their dissolution ; but, by a premature stir, provoked for no other reason that we can see, than an inordinate lust for place, they quickened public indig nation, and thereby hurried on their downfall. The mingled feelings of astonishment and wrath with which the country received the news—first, of the dissolu tion of the MELBOURNE Ministry; secondly, of the dissolution of the Reformed Parliament, might have proved to the Tories that, though they might succeed in planting themselves on the Treasury Bench, they could not possibly hope to retain their seats there for any length of time. But this they either could not, or would not, see. Buoyed up by old recollec tions, and mistaking the .cunning of decrepitude for the sagacity of manhood, they resolved on making one more experiment on the proverbial patience of John Bull. They imagined that he who had borne so much, could assuredly bear a little more, at their hands. But past sufferings had, in the interim, taught John wisdom. He was no longer to be duped ; and as a proof of it, he has dismissed his Tory stewards, and is determined for the future to look into affairs himself. We know not who will be our future Ministers, but whoever they are, one thing is certain, that they must adopt En Avant, as the fundamental article of their creed. They must neither lag behind the age, nor halt every now and then to look timidly and uneasily about them ; but keep moving forward at a bold, stead . ) pace. Above all, they must not distrust the people, but have a just and generous faith in them. On no other principle can they, as honest men; take office. They do not come in, because they are Whigs, or be cause they are Radicals, but because they are pledged to the utmost of their ability, to promote the national interests. It is indeed high time that all party distinctions should be forgotten. They manacle the individual ; they are the constant source of embarrassment to the country. What can possibly be more spurious—what more injurious than that sense of honour which binds a man to his party, even at the risk of injuring the interests of the people ? It is this false system that has for a season (but only, we trust, for a season) deprived us of the services of Sir ROBERT PEEL. He imagines himself bound to a faction, with which he has little or nothing in common ; and has consequently offered himself up as a willing victim to the High Church prejudices of a WELLINGTON, a KNATCHBULL, and a GOULBURN. The Commissioners appointed in 1833 to enquire into the Municipal Corporations in England and Wales, have made their first Report, and we rejoice to think that, if a considerable time has elapsed since their appointment, that inconvenience will be well compensated by the advantages resulting from a com plete and searching investigation of those numerous abuses, which have transformed institutions, originally intended for beneficial purposes, into public nuisances of the very worst description. The Reform of those abuses is, as it appears to us, an object second in importance only to the passing of the Reform Bill itself ; for if these strongholds of corruption are not pulled down, there is every reason to fear that the salutary working of that measure would not only be greatly impeded (as has been amply proved by the experience of the late election), but, clogged as it now is with the tenant-at-will clause, may in time be entirely counteracted. On the baneful effects of those receptacles of political and moral filth, not only on popular liberty, but also on popular mo rality, in contaminating the principles of those who are so unfortunate as to be placed within the sphere of their influence, it would be useless to dwell. The evil is too generally felt and acknowledged to require exposure. All that was wanted to lay the ground work of a thorough reform, was an accredited report — an official certificate, as it were, of the extent of the abuses, long known to exist, and that has now been supplied by the document before us. In prosecuting their inquiries, the Commissioners divided the country into eleven districts or circuits, to each of which, with the exception of the two last, the the Home Circuit and London, two Commissioners directed their attention—the Home Circuit being reserved for those who should soonest have com pleted the investigation originally assigned to them, whilst London was made the subject of a separate in vestigation. Before the commencement of the per sonal inquiry, a printed notice was forwarded to the principal functionaries of each Corporation, contain ing the chief points on which the Commissioners wished for information. Much readiness was shewn by the Corporation authorities, generally speaking, in complying with the wishes of the Commissioners. The only Corporations which absolutely refused all information are Corfe Castle, Dover, Lichfield, Maid stone, New Romney, and several of the London Companies. The general result of the inquiry is thus forcibly stated : " We have now laid before your Majesty, as concisely as possible, an enumeration of the principal defects which we have found in the constitution and management of the Municipal Corporations in England and Wales. We humbly certify to your Majesty, that the statements contained in this Report are amply confirmed in detail by the results of the inquiries insti tuted in the several Corporations, which results are embodied in the separate Reports to which we have already referred. Even where these institutions. exist in their least imperfect form, and are most rightly administered, they are inadequate to the wants of the present state of society. In their actual condition, where not productive of positive evil, they exist, in the great majority of instances, for no purpose of general uti lity. The perversion of Municipal Institutions to political ends has occasioned the sacrifice of local interests to party purposes, which have been frequently pursued through the corruption and demoralization of the electoral bodies. !' In conclusion.', we report to your Majesty that there pre.. vails among the inhabitants of a great majority of the incorpo rated towns a general, and, in our opinion, a just dissatisfac tion with their municipal institutions ; a distrust of the self- _ - 4 1 -‘ nraa •11 4 7 ' , lt to_ no popular control, and whose acts and proceedings, being secret, are unchecked by the influence of public opinion ; a distrust of the municipal magistracy, tainting with suspicion the local ad ministration of justice, and often accompanied with contempt of the persons by whom the law is administered ; a discontent under the burdens of local taxation, while revenues that ought to be applied for the public advantage are diverted from their legitimate use, and are sometimes wastefully bestowed for the benefit of individuals, sometimes squandered for purposes inju rious to the character and morals of the people." This statement is very appropriately closed by the following recommendation to his Majesty, in which we are sure every honest man in the kingdom will cor dially concur : " WE THEREFORE FEEL IT TO BE OUR DUTY TO REPRESENT TO YOUR MAJESTY THAT THE EXISTING MUNICIPAL CORPORA TIONS OF ENGLAND AND WALES NEITHER POSSESS NOR DESERVE THE CONFIDENCE OR RESPECT OF YOUR MAJESTY'S SUBJECTS, AND THAT A THOROUGH REFORM MUST BE EFFECTED BEFORE TIIIIY CAN BECOME WHAT WE HUMBLY SUBMIT TO YOUR MAJESTY THEY OUGIIT TO BE-USEFUL AND EFFICIENT INSTRUMENTS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT." The pamphleteers who were beginning to support the hole-and-corner addressers by taking the field in favour of Sir ROBERT PEEL, will now, we presume, beat a retreat. A thick-witted gentleman, who signs himself " AN ENGLISHMAN," strongly recommends to him the necessity of retaining office in spite of the House of Commons, constituted as it now is. Had it been what it was before the Reform Bill, then, indeed (he admits) he ought to have bowed to its decision ! "i The wh . olly changed nature and character of the House of Commons," says he, " then, supplies one powerful reason for no longer dealing with its views and decisions as it would formerly have been right to do." To leave no motive unattacked which he thinks assailable in the Premier's moral constitution, he tells him that " the recording angel (the Recorder of Bristol, we presume) waits, if I may so speak, in breathless expectation, to see whether you abide the conflict and grasp the laurel, or retire, un scathed indeed, but without honour, from the field, just as the battle is about to rage most fiercely." While on this subject, we may take the opportunity of condoling with, among others, the Conservative Addressers of Bath, on the disappointment they will experience in being " a day after the fail." We have received copies of the Addresses to his MAJESTY and Sir R. PEEL, to which, we understand, the indefati gable hole-and-corner gentlemen at Bath have been moving heaven and earth to obtain signatures. These specimens of Tory zeal had been signed, we are in formed, by about 350 rabid Conservatives, half-pay officers, non-resident and political parsons, and de pendent tradesmen, under the name of the "inhabi tants of Bath and its vicinity," and it was expected they would be signed by about as many more. They contain the usual twaddle about " the pre rogatives of the Crown"—" momentous crisis"-- " supporting the Constitution in Church and State"—" alarm and dismay, danger to Protes tantism, and destruction to the rights of property, from the principle of diverting the revenues of the Irish Church," &c. Printed circulars, applications both personal and written, broad hints to tradesmen —all and everything has been done to swell the list of signatures. And G now, alas ! that all this zeal, these exertions, this patriotic devotion of money, time, and trouble, should be thrown away I Oh, that the ad dresses from Bath had but arrived a few days ago They might perhaps have averted the sad catastrophe which they were intended to prevent. They might have struck dismay into the hearts of the Opposition, and have been the means of rendering Sir ROBERT PEEL another " Pilot who weathered the storm." We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday. The Members of the French Bar have come to the determination not to appear at the approaching trials without the solicitation of the prisoners. They have also discovered that the order of the Pre9ident of the - ' trtio , I, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1835. Chamber of Peers requiring their attendance is illegal, and consequently that they can incur no penalties by disobeying it. They have agreed to inform the Pre sident of the Court of Peers of the determination to which they have come, and abide the consequences. FRENCH FUNDS —PARIS, APRIL 7.

The QUEEN'S army in the North exceeds 60,000 men, all well armed and provided with the proper necessaries for a long campaign. We regret to learn that the cruelties exercised by General MINA have been commanded by the Government. Mr. JOHN LESLIE, a Governor and Director of the poor of the parish of St. George's, Hanover-square, has published a very clever and ingenious pamphlet, illustrating the beneficial operafion of the Poor Law Amendment Act in that parish for the year just ended. We have carefully examined this brief but very inte resting exposition of the working of the improved sys tem, not with a sole view to a pecuniary saving, but likewise with a proper Christian regard to the best in terests of humanity, morality, and religion ; and we assert, with confidence, that it will be found to realize some of the most sanguine hopes of the advocates of the recent changes in the law for the re lief of the suffering and indigent poor. The ignorant and senseless cry raised against the recent Act by certain political adventurers was intended to excite animosities between the poor and their guardians, and as far as possible to disturb the peace of society. The pitiful authors of that cry panted to place themselves at the head of mob deputations, and to inundate the country with a flood of beer-shop eloquence and tap room legislation. Happily, the good sense of the working men of England was opposed to the success of this scheme ; and the croakers tion and infanficide, were obliged to a rest their claims to superior intelligence on the fulfilment of prophecies, which the authors well knew must fall to the ground, if the poor people conducted themselves in an orderly manner. The result, as shewn in the case of a large metropolitan parish, with an immense pauper population, is most satis factory. The poor are not only better fed, better lodged, and better clothed under the operation of the improved system, but their moral cha racter has greatly improved ; whilst bastardy has diminished to an extent that may well be considered miraculous in so short a time. And yet this has all been effected without subjecting paupers to any un necessary humiliation. As the bastardy clauses in the New Act have been more generally condemned among the poor as cruel and unnatural, we take the liberty of quoting Mr. LESLIE'S very sensible remarks on their present operation : " A pregnant single woman presents herself to the parochial authorities for relief ; she states she has been betrayed under false promises, and has been seduced from the paths of virtue ; that, in consequence of her loss of character, all her friends shun her, and she is in circumstances of destitution. _ Taking the applicant's statement as true—and we have chosen this example as being the most favourable case that can present itself for parochial aid—the plan now adopted by the governors and directors of the poor with such a case is this. She is told—You say you have lost your character, your friends have turned their backs upon you, and you are in destitute cir cumstances :—we will receive you into the workhouse, you will be immediately provided with such work as your present condition will allow you to perform ; you shall be furnished with every necessary medical and other attendance ; you will there also receive the daily consolations which religious in struction can afford you : that as you are the proper source of nurture for the infant you are about to bring into the world, you must remain in the workhouse to suckle your child; and that, as you recover from your confinement, you will gradually be set to work for the twofold purpose of assisting to pay the expense the rate payers will be put to in supporting yourself and child, and to prepare you, when you quit the workhouse, to commence a course of beneficial occupation to maintain yourself and child. _ _ _ " In opposition to the cry of cruelty to the poor, we submit that in this plan there is every thing which the most humane can desire—a shelter is given to the outcast from society; protection afforded to her in the hour of nature's sorrow ; and the daily advantage of religious instruction by a conscientious Minister of the Gospel, at a season when the mind is deeply susceptible of consolation and instruction. But there is no pecuniary temptation offered to the woman as an example to others to imitate her conduct. " It must be remembered, that in the adoption of this plan, there will be found in every parish a whole host of interested parties to raise a clamour against it. It abolishes all fees and expenses of overseers' jouri,.2,-s into the country to apprehend reputed fathers : it also abolishes the expenses of journeys into the country to collect the money from reputed fathers ; but as a compensation for these abolitions of the perquisites of office, it is a plan which preserves the virtue and integrity of female character." These observations appear to us extremely just and reasonable. They certainly inculcate a sounder mo rality, and a purer religion, than the old system of publicly and ostentatiously rewarding vice, by out door pensions, as a boon for female profligacy. So ciety is likewise benefitted, by being relieved from the unnatural spectacle of young unmarried pregnant women exposing their persons in public, to the scandal and corruption of the rising generation. The New Poor Law is, however, far from perfect. Some remedy must be provided for the evils arising out of the removal of paupers from parish to parish. The following exposition of the more obvious of these evils is worthy of public attention :- 4 , That medical men and midwives create pauperism may ap pear a startling assertion to the uninitiated in the horrors which the late administration of the poor laws have occasioned to the poor. We therefore place before the reader a plain statement of facts to bear out the position, and to the truth of which thousands and thousands of paupers at this day, by painful ex perience, can testify A mechanic or labouring man, his wife or his children, fall ill, and require medical attendance. Application is made to the overseer of the place, and a " doctor's order" is given : the overseer, having taken the man's examination as to his place of legal settlement, ascertains him to be a non-parish ioner—that he belongs to a parish some 200 or 300 miles distant. The man says, " I want but a temporary assistance from you, I can maintain myself, and have borne a good character." No matter, there are two parties now engaged in the transaction who have a direct interest in the ruin of the poor man and his family, viz., the medical attendant and the overseer. The , following is the manner in which the outrage upon humanity was and still is legally inflicted : " The medical officer, in a great majority of instances, con tracts with the parish to attend all the paupers belonging to the parish during the year for a fixed small amount of remu neration, reserving to himself the right (and the parochial authorities consenting to transactions of such a character) to make whatever charge he pleases for every non-parishioner he may attend by order of the overseer ; and to such a frightful extent has this practice proceeded, that the charge in frequent instances for the medical attendance on one non-parishioner patient has greatly exceeded the amount of the contract for the year's attendance on the whole of the pauper patients of the parish ; and by such means the parishes shift from them selves the burden of medical attendance on their own poor by obi.,,ining the contract for so much less, in consideration of the probable prosts the medical man may obtain from his attend ance on non-parishicners. This exhorbitant charge for medi- ' cal attendance can only be obtained by the actual removal of the man to the parish to which he belongs. " The overseer's turn in the affair comes next. He fore sees a long journey with a family, and a long bill of costs. He applies for an order of removal for the family : the magis trates sign the same; but, on account of the illness of tlia man, his wife, or his children, as the case may be, the removal is suspended. The medical attendant has by this process now obtained a legal document to enforce his demand, and he con sequently pays the utmost attention to his own interest in the affair; and what with draughts every three hours, mixtures, and boluses, he contrives to make out a frightful demandon the parish to which the unfortunate man belongs. The man, in spite of the drugs he has swallowed, recovers ; the doctor's charges are paid, the magistrates withdraw the suspension of the removal, and the overseer commences his share of the plunder—proceeds with the family the two or three hundred miles, as the case may be ; personally delivers the unfortunate family to the parish to which they belong, and receives the amount of his demand,* including the exorbitant charge for the medical man's attendance. On his return home, he re-im burses himself out of the poor-rates of his own parish for all the expenses of himself and the family during the journey." We refer to the pamphlet itself for tables of the parochial expenditure, the decrease of poor rates, to gether with the system for administering the Poor Law adopted by the parish authorities. * By 35 Geo. 3, c. 101, s. 2, if the demand does not exceed 20/. there is no appeal against the sum charged. GREECE. The payment of the interest of the two series of the new Loan, and the annual sum appropriated to the redemption of the principal, which are under the guarantee of the Three Powers, require 1,500,000 drachms interest for the first two series, and 300,000 for the Sinking Fund, making 1,800,000 drachms. This sum being deducted from the annual revenue, there remains 4,763,620 drachms. Now, the budget of the War Department alone amounts to 4.630,750 drachms, so that the result is, that the revenue of the country is nearly ab sorbed by the payments for the National Debt and for the Army. All the rest—the Civil List (924,000 drachms), the Regency (331,500 drachms), and 300,824, (extraordinary ex penses for the same), the Fleet, the Home Department, Justice, Schools, Finance Department, and extraordinary expenses, must be provided by loans, and the State, which is founded in Greece, though but little alteration has been made in the interior of the country, though no claims have been satisfied, though neither new roads, nor schools, nor Courts of Justice, neither national army nor fleet have been established, costs 14,187,215 drachms, that is more than double the annual revenue of the country. BERLIN, MARCH 28.—1 t is said that the King will not go to Toplitz this year, but to some baths in Silesia. The intended grand review makes this probable. The magnificent castle of Furstanstein is already preparing for a great number of distinguished guests, as it will be the head quarters and the central point of the whole. It is supposed that a great number of staff officers will be put on the retired list this year, on the ground of economy. It is reported that the long cherished wish of the provinces, to name a Prince of the Royal Family resident in them will shortly be gratified. Prince Frederick, now at Duseldorf, will be Governor-Gene ral of Pomerania, and be succeeded at Duseldorf by Prince Albert, and Prince Charles will go to Prussia.—Frankfort Papers, April 3. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK._ Although Ministers have resigned, the Funds remain steady. This is an undoubted proof that the public and monied inte rest are of opinion, that the change of Ministers will put an end to the turmoil which has existed of late in the House of Commons, as well as to give peace and tranquillity to Ireland.

We regret to have the melancholy task to announce the departure of this benevolent lady, who after a long and linger ing indisposition, died at Compton Place, Eastbourne, on Tuesday morning. Her Ladyship was the celebrated Lady Betty Compton, an heiress of vast wealth, who married Lord George Cavendish (the late Earl of Burlington) nearly half a century ago. By this event Burlington House, Piccadilly, goes to the youngest son, the Hon. Charles Compton Caven dish, who also possesses Latimers, the favourite seat of Cardinal Wolsey. It is said that at Rufford Hall, the seat of the Earl o f Scarborough, large sums in gold have been found secreted in bags in different places. REFORM MEETING AT BRENTFORD.—Yester day afternoon a meeting of the friends of Reform was held in the large room at the Red Lion Inn, Oid B ren tf or d, M r. Ch urc hwarden Allen in the chair, to take into cons id erat i on the best means of forming an association for carrying the ob jects of the Reform Bill into full and beneficial effect. Reso lutions to the effect that . an association, t o b e ca ll e d " The Brentford Reform Association," be immediately formed for the above objects, and to obtain such further reforms in Church and State as may be considered necessa r y f or t h e pu b l i c wel fare, were passed unanimously. INCREASE OF THE VALUE OF PROPERTY IN DUNDEE.—LittIe more than fifty ye ars ago t h e house and gr ound on the west side of Trades-lane, which belonged to the late Mr. Milne, was purchased by him at 2501. That pro perty was sold on Wednesday to the t rus t ees o f t h e harbour of Dundee at 2,sool.—Dundee Advertiser. RIDICULOUS MISTAKE.—On Tuesday, in the Crown Court at York, a female witness, one of the Society of Friends, was called on to point out the prisoner against whom her testimony was to be offered. The good lady complied by pointing out one of the reporters connected with the news. paper press, to the great amusement of the Court ; and avowed herself ready to " affirm" that he was the criminal.— Hull Observer. ACCIDENT.—In consequence of the swollen state of the Dee, and the large quantities of timber which were floating down, four men tvere employed on Thursd a y last to prevent the wood from striking against the banks. Between two and three o'clock, while they were thus engaged, they were suddenly thrown into the river, owing to the violence with which several logs floated against them. Two of them made a very narrow escape, but the other two were unfortunately drown ed. —Edinburg'h Courant. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Five o' Clock. Earl Grey was closetted with his Majesty for two hours to day. Immediately afterwards, Lord Melbourne was sent for to the Palace, and remained for a considerable time with the King. The House of Commons met this day at three o'clock, for the purpose of ballotting for the Cork City Election Com mittee. Some routine business of no public importance was afterwards transacted. A short discussion took place relative to the Canterbury re turn, which was deferred to a future day. The only ex-Minister present was Mr. Goulburn. The House stands adjourned to Monday. The rumour in the neighbourhood of the House of Com mons is, that Lord Melbourne has declined accepting office. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. Lord BROUGHAM last night in the LORDS gave notice of his intention to bring forward next Tuesday a motion re specting Education. The Duke of WELLINGTON then announced the RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. Lord BROUGHAM said that he should bring on his motion next, Tuesday nevertheless. Lord DUNCANNON expressed a hope that. Mr. STOREY'S petition wculd not be presented till Monday. In the COMMONS, Mr. C. BULLER presented n petition from Canterbury, complaining of clerical intimidation at the late election for that city ; it ivas signed by 1,044 electors and other inhabitants of Canterbury. The names of Arch deacon CROFT, the Rev. Mr. PEEL, Rev. Mr. CROWTHER, and the Rev. Mr. MORGAN were particularly alluded to. The petitioners prayed for the protection of the Ballot. Mr. PRAED said that in the Borough he represcunted no clerical intimidation bad been employed. Mr. C. BULLER then presented another petition from the same place re specting the decision which unseated Mr. VILLIERS. The composition of his Committee was complained of. Petitions were presented for and against the grant to the Scotch Church, against clauses in the Dissenters' Marriage Bill, against Mr. tile Imprisonment for Debt Bill, &c. On moving the third reading of the Mutiny Bill, Sir ROBERT PEEL announced that himself and his colleagues felt it their duty to resign, although they still had the entire confidence of the KING. It was stated that the present Ministers will hold their offices for the dispatch of public business till their succes sors are appointed. The Right Hon. Baronet then pro posed an adjournment, not to extend beyond Monday next. He availed himself of the opportunity to express his anxiety to stand well with the House. The Right Hon. Baronet was much affected at the conclusion of his speech, and was long and loudly cheered. After a ords from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who gave Sir ROB L credit for tile Con stitutional course pursued, the tiny Bill was read and passed. The House then adjourned at half-past five.

THIRD CONCERT. In the direction of an institution, which has for its object the production of the splendid legacies of departed genius, it would naturally be supposed that only those compositions would be performed which bear the impress of immortality ; and that any departure from this principle would prove as per nicious to science as it would be dishonourable to the Institu tion. To the regret of the musical public, the practice pur sued by those who have the management of these concerts, is in direct opposition to the objects of its formation ; but at present we know not against whom the just indignation of a large body of amateurs ought to be directed, for it is difficult to decide whether the conductor or the director takes upon himself the onus of responsibility. The third concert of this society took place yesterday evening at the King's Concert Rooms, Hanover-square ; and up to this period neither of the programmes have contained a vocal composition of John Se bastian Bach or Beethoven, and but one of Mozart. The fervid inspirations of Paisello, Cherubini, Naumann and Gluck, are banished to make room for the " tweedle-dum and tweedle dee " of such writers as Kent, Guglielmi, Martini, and John Christian Bach. The scheme of yesterday evening's concert consisted of the overtures to " Iphigenia," by Gluck, and " Prometheus," by Beethoven ; a Cavatina, from the " Orfeo " of Haydn, sung by Mr. Parry ; the exqui sitely pathetic scena, " E Susanna non vien," given to the Countess in the last act of the " Figaro " of Mo zart, sung by Madame Stockhausen ; " 0 God of Truth 1" from the " Belshazzar" of Handel, sung by Mr. Machin ; the " Gratias Agimus" of Guglielmi ; a Madrigal by Weelkes, and a Chorus from the sixth mass of Haydn. To which may be added the hacknied Anthem, " Hear my Prayer," of Kent, a noble Chorus from Croft, and divers well known movements from the Oratorios of Handel. Although we had heard Mr. Parry execute the song from Haydn's "Orfeo" at the last Vocal and Philharmonic Concerts, his performance last night was still a treat, a sure test of the merits both of the composition and performance. The melancholy pensiveness which per vades the " Dove Sono," places Mozart as the most refined and voluptuous of all composers. Madame Stockhausen ap peared altogether subdued with the beautiful images of the writer, and sang the scena in a manner which went to the feelings of her audience. Mr. Machin's execution of Handers fine song from Belshazzar was coarse ; but he by no means misapprehends the ideas of the composer. Mrs. Knyvett performed in ten different pieces, and of course to her disad vantage. Surely Master Howe might have relieved her in the Glees of Ford and Webbe, without any loss to the audience ; nor do we think the incessant repetition of the school girls' songs, " Angels ever bright and fair," " Farewell, ye limpid streams," '6 If guiltless blood," and other well known movements, likely to conduce to her reputation. There are those in a concert room who who would be agonized to think, and to whom any emo tion beyond the flutter of a concert bill might prove fatal. Mrs. Knyvett, we presume, has a high respect for her profession, and does not seek to engage the cold sym pathy of this class of her auditors, to whom the childish har monies of King and Arnold are equally as grateful as the learned and sublime imaginations of Bach or Purcel. The chorusses from " Israel in Egypt," although so well known, were very indifferently executed. It would seem that each chorus singer was desirous of shouting at the utmost stretch of his voice, as if that was the chief or only qualification for his situa tion in the orchestra : and, as a necessary consequence, all sung out of tune. We know of no chorus so beautiful and de scriptive—so learned and impassioned as the one "He sent a thick darkness :" and yet scarce one of these characteristics could be gathered from the performance of this composition last night. It is similar in design to the celebrated chorus of prisoners in the opera of "Fidelio,"by Beethoven ; there are the same broken recitative-like melodies—the same obscure and enigmatical development of the harmony ; and like that cho rus should be performed senzpre pianissimo. The rude uncul tivated performance of the closing passages by the tenors and bases could only provoke a bitter smile of disgust. It should be ever borne in mind that Handel in this Oratorio wrote for immortality, and great care ought to be taken in the produc tion of every part of it. In this composition, his chef d'auz, , re, there is no preetty moosic, a term he was accustomed to apply to his lighter work, which if he had not con descended to write, he would not have acquired, in all probability, the reputation he did. " Si non errasset, fecerat ille minus." Mr. Greatorex, during his life time, had the temerity to add an orchestral accompaniment to the chorus " Cry aloud," of Croft, and in its execution we presume his sole object was to Rend with tremendous sounds their ears asunder, With gun, drum, trumpet, blunderbuss, and thunder." It was truly melancholy to perceive the etherial spirit of the composer dying in the embraces of the dead. We cannot commend the extemporaneous effusions of Mr. Knyvett ; the organ is undoubtedly a very indifferent instrument, sadly defi cient in a due supply of wind, and wretchedly out of tune. He should get rid of those things miscalled pedals, and supply himself with a proper set, made in the German style, and we may then, probably, have something favourable to sav of his abilities as an organist. The Concert was honoured by he presence of her Majesty. .On her entrance she was received with every demonstration of respect, the company rose, and the National Anthem " Lord of Heaven," was sung by all the principal vocal performers. The room was thinly attended, the company scarce exceeding four hundred persons. The Rev. Mr. Lockwood, of Mershain, Chaplain to the late Speaker, will be appointed to the vacant stall in this cathedral, void by the death of the late Lord Nelson.--• Ca nterbury Paper. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRICAL DINNER.-- Yesterday a numerous attendance of the Friends of this bene volent Institution, assembled in the Freemasons' Tavern, to celebrate its nineteenth anniversary festival. The Earl of Mulgrave presided. On " The health of the Treasurer" (Mr. Fawcett), who was absent from indisposition, being proposed, Mr. Bartley rose, and, in a long and very eloquent speech, ex. plained the objects of the Institution, urn • criptlons amounted to more thq CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Before Mr. Justice G AZELEE, Mr. Baron GURNEY, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Toysbin, aged 27, and Louisa Toys bin, aged 9, were indicted for stealing 84 yards of silk, the property of Joseph Bannicolt and another. It appeared that the prisoners went to the prosecutor's shop, in Ludgate-hill, on the evening of March 13, and purchased one yard of flannel. They wished to look at some muslin which was kept in a room up stairs, to which the shopman proceeded to fetch it. They bought some other trifling articles, and the younger prisoner occupied herself in examining a piece of silk upon the counter. After some minutes she asked her mother if she might not go, to which she answered in the affirmative. The shopman suspecting something amiss followed her out of . the shop and brought her bhck, and upon searching her the silk was found concealed under her cloak. A shawl and some other articles were found upon the person of the elder prisoner. The mother denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said that when she discovered what her daughter had done, she was very angry, and beat her for it. The daughter said she thought her mother had purchased the silk. Mr. Justice GAZELEE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. George Epping, aged 27, was indicted for burglariously en tering the dwelling house of Mr. Thomas Morgan, at Wood- , ford in Essex, and stealing therefrom a silver ladle and a large quantity of wearing apparel. It appeared that on the morning of the burglary the prisoner was stopped on the high road to London with some of the property in his possession, and he was taken into custody. j.he , -risoner denied all knowledge of the burglary, and said he had picked the articles up in the road. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. NEW COURT. George Fisher, a marine-store keeper, and Dizal ., eth, his wife, were indicted for having in their possession a set of reins, knowing them to be stolen. The prosecutor, Thomas Tanner, identified the prepeihi and the policeman who found the reins in the prisoner's shop, stated that they alleged they had purchased them of a Mr. Strutt, a marine store-keeper in Camberwell road. Strutt was not in attendance, and the Jury, under the Learned Sergeant's direction, acquitted the prisoners. The same prisoners were again indicted for having in their possession a coat, the property of Henry Jones, knowing it to be stolen. A policeman who went to the prisoner's house to look for stolen property, saw the great coat hanging in the wareroool; it was afterwards conveyed into Mrs. Skinner's house nest door, where the policeman found it ; in the pocket of the coat was a duplicate in the prosecutor's name. Mrs. Skinner deposed that the female prisoner came to her , and said the officers were with her, looking after stolen pro perty, and asked leave to put the coat in her bed-room. The prisoners got a very good character from several of their neighbours. The Jury found the prisoner George Fisher guilty, and 0" quitted the female prisoner. Thomas Hunter arid James Xing were indicted for stealing on the 20th March last, a quantity of linen and diaper, Val!! 505., the property of Edward George Barron, a linen draP' of Lower Street, Islington. Policeman N, 250, was on duty near prosecutor's shop, oa the night in question ; saw the prisoner and two other VII I near the shop; the prisoners ran off, Hunter carrying a larinci. lB which turned out to be the property lost by Mr. Barron ; r at " ness followed and took them into custody. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty: The RECORDER said, as they both appeared to be W ell ' known offenders, they must expect to leave the country • , 1 , 6 John Nally, aged 16, was indicted for stealing a a At, property of James Byett, a gardener, of Wick-lane, Itacks!t, The coat was put on a post in the garden to air, and .7 found shortly afterwards in the prisoner's possession.—Gul s ; Anne Scott was indicted for stealing a watch, chain, se and handkerchief, the property of William Clevery.. The prosecutor, a simple journeyman baker, hrsd been pt duced to accompany the prisoner to a lodging-house, and W e rt , 'to bed • when he awoke the prisoner was gone, rind hi./ / i c e , also. The prosecutor found her in a neighbouring pow house, and gave her into custody. ! ber The prisoner stated that the prosecutor bad gr aen the watch to keep ; and, as a proof that she bfad 0. 0 ilit- d0 tion of taking the property, she hadleft her slnawl at id bu n behind her.
