LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1828. Mr. and Mrs. Moseheles were breakfasting with Sir Walter Scott a few day s ago, when the conversation turned upon the music of the High lands. Sir Walter quoted the tine old gathering " Pibroch o' Donald Dhu," as being one of the boldest and most spirited of its martial class, and requested a gentleman present to ei . c deavour to sing it. His - guest complied as he best could, the ugh r - •'outit a li tie timbar rassed so suddenly to exhibit as Or ~.--rote one 0 the first innSICIallS lee • However, be contrived to - sing the air ' ,;n 'Sir Walter's Tyrtmn verses, in such a . man. , -rter as to make the great pianist tr.der. stand and relish it; and, after repeating it once or twice at his request, the subject was dropt. On adjourning to the drawing-room, the musician sat down to the piano forte; and after a few prefatory movements, the company were astonished and delighted when th! , soul. stirring Highland melody burst forth in ad i>awild force and, fury ! tt was perhaps never plave‘L at the head of the clan before battle, with more passionate energy. The mode of treating it was unspeakably fine. Now, the full roar of hostile conflict pealing forth —anon, wild wailings arose, significant of woe and death—then the rapid mustering of friends and foes to th e rescue— now kindred airs, though different, indicatkid the approach of other clans to the battle-fieE, In short, the musician, who had risyes: heard the melody but once, and who was previously, almost a stranger to the very existence of the bold race whose energies it spoke, exhibited the whole t,:oul. of Highland melody, throughout all its varying struggles and emotions, as if he had learned - from infancy to sweep the harp with Ossian, and burnt and wept all his life v,ith the children of tip mist and the desert. - It was quite clear the great hartnonist felt in whose presence he was performing; and it may well be said, that ha before exerted himself with darocc PRICE 7D.

Mr. LAWLESS rose and said, that he had to pro pose a resolution for the consideration of the meet ing, which he thought was absolutely necessary fo the protection and defence of the interests and free dom of Ireland. He had postponed the consideration of the resolution yesterday, because he thought tha good sense and sound discretion would have pre vented the completion of what he had feared. Bu he read in the Packet of this day, that Wellington had held his first Cabinet dinner, and there was but little variation in the Ministerial arrangements fron that which they had at first heard. He conceded to the Duke of Wellington the possession of consi derable military talent ; but would any man say tc him that the Duke of Wellington was competent u fill the office of Premier, to which he was now ele vated, and which, by his own express declaration, he was utterly incompetent to fill ? He regretted that the King had been induced to put such man into power. He (Mr. Lawless) wanted , that the people should practise that great moral power which they possessed; and he called of them to come to this resolution—that they woulc: consider any Member of Parliament who, directly or indirectly, gave his vote to any Administration with the Duke of Wellington at its head, as an enemy to the peace and welfare of the country. He did not by this mean to deny to any one to exercise the fret agency of his own opinion. Any member might certainly give his support to the Duke of Welling ton's Administration, but he would say that the would oppose that member. He was now merel calling on the people of Ireland to adopt that principle, which, in the danger that threatened theta from the enemies by whom they were surrounded, would entitle them to be respected, and show that they were determined not to suffer themselves to bc humbugged with impunity. Mr. BOYLAN seconded the motion. lARGErvo Inn Fields This day were published, Bvo. price 391_._ On Wednesday, the 30th instant, price 3d. T HE COMPANION. No.IV.— By LEIGH HUNT.

ACIDULATED LOZENGES of CA YENNE—for habitual Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Relaxation of Uvula, and a refreshing stimulus during Field Sports. These Lozenges have received a patronage almost unprecedented in the above cases ; they are also of great utility to persons in the habit of Public Speaking; and the highest testimony in the Musical World has been advanced in their favour, where the Voice has been influ enced by a humid Atmosphere, and diminished in tone. On this consideration they are particularly useful to Tra vellers, who are unavoidably exposed to damp. In Boxes, at 2s. and 4s. 6d. ANTACID LOZENGES of QUININE—The new Preparation of Bark, called Sulphate of Quinine, is the in gredient on which the Tonic properties of these Lozenges depend; but that the effects may be more adapted to the object for which they are intended, Antacids and Aroma tics are combined. The Lozenges can be confidently re commended in all Affections of the Stomach, such as Indi gestion, Heartburn, Acidity, Flatulence, and general Weak ness of that Organ. They are found extremely service able in Gouty Attacks, especially when the Stomach is more immediately engaged. In Boxes, at 2s. and 4e. 6d. FLUID EXTRACT of SARSAPARILLA (simple and compound), for making the Decoction, as it may be required, in a manner superior to that generally used.

Com posed at Vegetable', without the admixture of any Mineral formed awhatever,goinet it free from the usual objections the Use of o th er Dentri ficee. Its detersive power is just sufficient t o remove t h ose or pern i cious so justly iing re d i ent d fo i e r n m t destructive particles which adhere to the G ums an d t h e Intersti ces o f the Teeth ; and if used regularly, will pre serve them in a sound state even to old age.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SOCIETY.--•A ball took place last evening, at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, for the benefit of the funds of this charitable institution. There were upwards of 200 individuals pre sent. Quadrilles were the order of the evening. Within the last week fires have been lighted in all the rooms adjacent to both Houses of Parliament. A splendid new lustre has been suspended immediately at the entrance into the House of Lord*, which, upon being lighted, will have an imposing effect. The entrance oppo site to the east end of the Abbey, has been neatly paved. EXTRAORD INA RY BIRTH.—On Saturday the 19th instant, a poor woman, the wife of a miner named JOHN PAscoE, residing near Launer, in the parish of Gwennap, was safely delivered of a female child, which has five fingers and a thumb on each hand, and six toes on each foot in all twenty-four.—The child in every other respect is quite perfect and in good health, and very likely to live. The mother is also doing well. —.Cornwall Gazette. LORD WEL LEST, EY.—Various rumours arc afloat, and some of them with great appearance of truth, that Lord WELLESLEY is about to return to this country as Lord Lieutenant, and the reign of Conciliation, perhdps, be again established. The reason assigned for this extra ordinal y, and, as it would affect Ireland, thin ruinous re solve, is, that they do not know what to do with his Lord- Ship in England; and that the Duke of WELLINGTON, in order the more effectually to keep the Marquess out of the way, has come to the determination of again sending him to Ireland. We doubt the fact of the determination, al though we can very well understand the degree of truth to be attached to the reason.—Dublin Evening Mail. A GirosT.—The good folks of Ulverston have been upon the qui vice during tht past week to hear or see something of a Ghost which has lately beet Visiting the Old Hall, a farm belonging to T,, It G. BRADYLL, Esq., situate about a mile from that town. Several per sons affirm to have seen her ghostship (for it seems she is of the feminine gender), and 'report says that 201. have been offered for her apprehension. We have not heard whethe r the ghost he mischievously inclined, but it seems three mon have been set to watch and catch her—if they can.— Westmoreland Advertiser. FATAL ACCIDENT.--On Tuesday night last, JAMES PARKER, of Huddersfield, cabinet-maker, re turned home from a public house, in a state of intoxication, and after turning his whole family into the street, he leek ed the door. Soon after a tremendous noise was heard in the house, and on the door being burst open, PARKER was found weltering in his blood, at the bottom of the stairs, down which he had fallen, and fractured his skull so se verely as to occasion his almost instant death.—Leeds Mercury. Mr. WysE said, that he assented to the resolution. The Duke of Wellington was not only the enemy of Ireland, but the deep enemy and foe to the pro sperity of England, and of freedom all over the world. After some further suggestions on the part of Lord Killeen and Mr. O'Connell, as to the phraseo logy of the resolution, it was finally put and carried to the following effect : " Resolved,—That we feel it a duty we owe to the Irish people to declare, that we shall consider every Irish member of Parliament an enemy to the freedom, peace, and happiness of Ireland, who will support, either directly or indirectly, any Adminis tration of which the Duke of Wellington, or any individual professing his principles, is the head or contriver; and we call on all counties, cities, towns, and parishes in Ireland, to act upon the spirit of this resolution." Mr. O'CONNELL said, that the next motion was, that of a motion of his for a mission to England,— This was a subject which he had maturely turned in his mind, and the more he thought on it, the more genvinced he felt of its necessity and utility. The object of this measure was to disabuse the English mind of the prejudices against them,—to call for a statement of these, and answer the objeetionsagainst .hem by argument; and whenever these prejudices arose out of falsified historical documents, to meet and do away with them by historical facts. Mr. O'Connell concluded by moving, " That it is the opinion of this meeting, that a deputation to Eng land, to explain the Catholic tenets, and remove prejudices, would be advantageous to the cause of Irish liberty." Mr. BRETT seconded the resolution, and expres sed his concurrence in all the sentiments that had fallen from Mr. O'Connell on the subject. Lord KILLEEN said, he had, by this time, some experience in deputations, and they certainly had not terminated well. If this were to end in the same way as others had done, he confesSed that be, for one, would not be very anxious to carry it into practice. . . . . Mr. WvsE said, that he agreed with a great por tion of what had fallen from Mr. O'Connell on the expediency of the meassre: but he understood that Mr. Shiel had a motion to make for Sunday, for an address to the King. He considered, that in the event of that being carried, it would be best to com bine both measures, and let the mission in question precede the Address, and terminate its route through the various towns, by presenting the Address to his Majesty. Mr. LAWLESS said, that by this course it would appear as if they were passing through an ordeal of evangelicalism before they presented themselves to his Majesty. (Laughter.) He thought it would be better to go to the King in the first instance; lie would recommend that the mission should be an open one, with full liberty to all, whether laity or clergy, whoever was able to bear the expense, to join it. He would, on the whole, suggest the pro priety of postponing the further consideration of the question, at least until after the discussion on the expected motion of Mr. Shiel. Mr. COPPINGER opposed the measure. Mr. M'DoNNELL supported the motion at great length. It was subsequently put and carried, with the dissentient voce of Mr. Coppinger. The meeting then adjourned. LARGE EXPORT.—The brig Jane Hatidow, Captain HAMILTON, cleared out from Greenock on Mon day week for Calcutta, with perhaps the largest cargo of dry goods on board that niy ship has ever sailed with from Scotland, for any pact of the world. This vessel is three hundred and forty-,is tons register, and her entire loading is composed of cotton yarn and other manufactured goods, from Glasgow and its neighbourhood. The value of this cargo will not be far short of 80,0001.—rife Placid. COAL STRATA.—Mr. BALD, the engineer, estimates the depth of the Loalkeith and East Lothian coal strata as follows :—As to the depth of this extensive field or coal strata, in which the beds of coal and organic re mains are found, I am of opinion that in the deepest parts of the basin it will extend to at least 500 fathoms, or 3,000 feet; which shows how very deep the vallies have once been and the Inure se, if the theory of the moun tains having been at one period much higher than they now are, is taken into account. The distance in one in stance, is no less than 90 fathoms between two succeeding strata of coal ; and it is a fact of great importance in searching fur coal, in not too early abandoning the pursuit. tlicekty Pevieki. WONDERFUL PRESERVATION.-011 TUCS day morning, a little boy, seven years of age, belonging to S. Eva, a ►nasou at Helston, attempted to draw a bucket of water from a well or shaft of water, about twenty-five feet deep, on his father's premises : he had got it nearly landed, when by some means the bucket got disengaged from the rope, and fell to the bottom, and the child fell after it. His little sister (only two years older than him self) the only person near the place, thought she heard her brother in a very weak tone calling DIARY ! MARY which induced her to go to the door, when she saw the rope hanging down a little way in the well, and looking into it, saw her brother in the water, with his head just above the surface, and splashing with his hands as a dog would with his fore feet. With admirable presence of mind this little girl quickly lowered the end of the rope to her brother, who caught hold of it with so firm a grasp, that his sister succeeded in winding him up, and thus ef fected his deliverance Cornwall Gazette.

GREAT UNDERTAKING. Yesterday a number of spectators assembled in the Wel lington Cricket Ground, Chelsea, for the purpose of wit nessing two celebrated pedestrians, Coates and Sutton, perform the following arduous task, for 20/. a side. viz. —To walk backwards once mile; to walk forwards one mile ; to wheel a barrow one utile ; to trundle a hoop one mile ; run a mile : and pick up fifty stones, placed in a straight line; one yard apart—the first man completing the above task to be declared the winner. At three o'clock the umpires and referee being appointed, the men started different ways, round a circle of a furlong, and did as follows : COATES. SUTTON. Alin. Sec. Min. Sec.

In trundling the hoop he was still losing, and in the third round relinquished his task and fainted. He was carried off the ground in a very exhausted state, and was spitting blood and very ill at six o'clock. Coates performed the whole of the task in one hour six minutes and a half. He is the same man who performed the feat over the bridges. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS. COUNTRY DlARY.—Tnottstuv, JAN. 31.

At a General Meeting of the Governors and Subscribers, held at the conclusion of the Examination, Lord KENTON in the Chair, it was un animously resolved that the Festival on the first of March next, should be held with every possible splendour, in honour of the Duke of CLARENCE, who has kindly con descended to preside on the occasion. Mr. MARRIOTT, of Attercliffe, had lately, at his farm at Orgrave, a fine heifer, which died under the fol lowing singular circumstances :—The animal became sickly, and after lingering about three months, died in a state o great exhaustion, the whole carcass scarcely containing an) blood whatever. Upon opening it, to ascertain the cans, of its death, an adder, upwards of a yard long, was found within its head, just emerging from the larynx. Th. reptile was dead ; but, from the fresh appearance of it, skin, it was evident that if it had been swallowed by th, calf at the commencement of its illness, it must have bee:. alive in its stomach until a few hours of its death.— Sheffield Independent, sent npt D e rfslooArnbßeao: residingt I o C i A llae L tn tGi A oanw, T B w T h a E osr T hu i: n l dl ' ev rhg A oos T ne e n iN aan l m U ee xßwaDienEjantß.a tpre- - io before the Magistrates of this town, on a charge of at tempting to murder his own nephew, by administerioF arsenic.

The prisoner was apprehended by BURGESS, on Thursday ; and has been remanded fur further examination.—Mac clesfield Courier. When this exquisite display 7• as over, Sir Walter chanced to allude to the effects of the various martial sounds which readied his ears, when the evening watch was det to the Allied troops in Paris., after the battle of WateN , 100. Seated on the summit of a small eminence near the village of St. Cloud, amidst the ca!rn or a French summer's night, he described the rnir, 7 . hug sounds, in the distance, of the ingtrunlents. of almost all the nations in the world, rising in strange and wild harmony around, as producing an effect upon him such as he should neverforget, This led to a disquisition upon military in general, and that to a request froth Sir Waiter that Mr. Moseheles would indulge the company with some of the martial airs of the Continent. He immediately assented, modestly saying s that he knew very many of them, as be had been often employed in their composition by the: Emperor of Austria. He sat down again, ac cordingly, to his instrument, and produced most admirable melange of every sort of milits7 music that can be conceived. Several of the air: his auditors knew, many they heard for the first time ; but the wonderful facility and grace with which he arranged and combined thcm—pasring through more than imaginable variety of keys and measures, yet ever maintaining one uniform tone of high martial feeling—excited the pro foundest admiration. They all agreed, that though they had often heard before what were termed extempore fantasias, yet the real bard like spirit, which alone gives value to such effortg, of improvisation, they then listened to for the first time.—Edinburgh Observer.
