But it is not in parts, or by parts,- that this oratorio should be considered. Unity is what logicians would --call its essential mood, and it can only be judged of as a :whole.. The performers themselves evidently felt .this, :and accommodated themselves to the severe and classical • spirit,: of the composition. There was no attempt ut display, no introd►tction of meretricious orna seteut, -no seeking of . self. They gave theinselves up, wholly, fully, and fairly, • to the inspiration of the master. The Sacred Harmonic Society has added immensely to the heavy debt of gratitude already - duo to them by. the manner in.which they produced this sublime composition last evening. It is impossible it could be better performed. . . The hall was crowded to suffocation, and the perform ances were announced for repetition, on. the sth of No vember, amidst the loudest applause. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen will hold a Privy Council at half past one o'clock this afternoon at Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert took an airing in the Parks yesterday afternoon in an open car riage, attended by Lord Charles Wellesley (Clerk Marshal) and Colonel Bouverie, the Equerries in Waiting, on horseback. The Hon. Misses Paget and Anson, the Maids of Honour in Wait ing, followed in a carriage and four. The Royal.dinner party at the Palace last evening included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas, Lord and Lady Lyttelton, Lord George Lennox, Hon. Mrs. G. E.

Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal, left Marlborough House yesterday for Kew, and paid a visit to their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. A meeting of the Cabinet Ministers was held yesterday afternoon at the official residence of Sir Robert Peel, in Downing -street. Lieut.-Colonel Sall, K.IT., late administering the Government of Newfinindland, has arrived in town, with despatches from Sir John Harvey. A Deputation of Coach Proprietors had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Wickham, Chairman of Stamps and Taxes, yesterday in Downing -street. Baron de Brunow, the Russian Minister, had 'an interview with Sir Robert Peel yesterday at his official residence in Downing-street. The Lord Chancellor left town yesterday afternoon for his residence near Henley-on- Thames. Despatches from the Governor of the Mauri tius were received yesterday at the Colonial-office, CHEAP GEOGRAP-111( for SCHOOLS AND FOR THE WORKING CLASSES. Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, the eminent Geo grapher to the Queen, has recently produced a series of six maps on the largest scale, composing, when placed together, a " WALL MAP," six feet six inches brow, and five feet five inches long. They are printed upon a plan altogether new, invented by Mr. Wyld, to which the subscribers of this Paper are indebted' for the beautiful and . comprehensive map published in The Rail way San: From: a de.;ire. to diffirse most widely and amongst the humblest classes a knOWledge of the science which he pro fesses, the author publishes the " Wall Map" at a price which can scarcely yield any profit, whilst it brings the practical-study of geography within the reach of the humblest school and . family in the kingdom. No school whatever should be without - the "Wall Map," for the bold ness and distinctness of the outlines, names, and geographical markings - are such as to enable teachers, without any difficulty, to point out situations and-demonstrate problems to a large number of pupils at the same time. The margin also contains highly useful and copious statistical and geographical tables, printed in large letters and figures legible at a considerable distance. We strongly recommend this map to teachers of, infant schools and others similarly situated, as well as to those in humble circumstances w ho are desirous of studying geography, but to whom any other complete and correct map of the world is inaccessible. HIGH TIDE IN THE RIVER MEDWAY. CIIATTIAM, OCT. 19.—The boisterous weather experi enced within the lust few days has done very great damage to the shipping and small craft in the river. On Saturday and Sunday it blew a complete hurricane, and on Sunday Light the wind and rain were truly awful, the wind blowing from the north-west, which accounts for the extraordinary high tide on Monday afternoon ; such an overflow of water has not been known fur the last terty years. The damage along the coast has been very ex tensive, and some thousands of acres of land are now lying under water. Bishop's Marsh, an island between Sheerness and Gillingham, containing one hundred acres, and having a large house recently erected on it, was placed in imminent danger, together wi h the inmates. So awfully dangerous did this house ap pear to the officers in command . of her Majesty's ships lying in ordinary, that they sent their boats and crew to the assistance of the inmates. Some of the furniture floated away, and was picked up some miles distant. At Gillingham the tide rose into the street up wards of three feet deep, and the inhabitants were con veyed in carts to and fro. At Chathum, the water flowed into several warehouses, doing great damage: timber, &c., were carried from the wharfs; and the gardens and the marshes adjoiningßochester are covered with water several feet deep ; and what is most remarkable is, that the Gas Works being situated near the embankment of the river, were completely embedded in the flood, and the conse quence was that the towns remained in total darkness. At . St.rood the waters rushed up the High-street, near to the turnpli+:;,. and the people were conveyed in boats at 2d. per head, and vans wi re enzaged at 6(1. per head.' The inhabitants or Strood have suffered greatly by the water in their houses; fortunately for them it happened in the day time, Otherwise there must have been some lives lost. It is stated - that a farmer living in the Hundred of Hoo has hist upwards of 500 sheep. Indeed the extent of damage done in the marshes of Cliffe, Higham, and the Hiindred of Hoo, cannot be known, as the land is covered with water. Several market gardeners will sustain great losses, owing to the sea wall giving way and bury ing their stock ground. The country for miles presents a curious spectacle. THE FIRE AT SOUTH MOULTON.—On • Wednesday accounts were received by the difft rent Insu rance Companies in the City respecting :he dreadful' conflagration that occurred in the town of South Moul , ton, in Devons'uire, on the night of Sunday last. It ap ' pears that 74 houses were consumed by the flames, and about 20 seriously damaged. The dwellings were chiefly tenanted by poor tradesmen and their families, the most part of whom are reported to be uninsured, in conse quence of which they are rendered totally destitute, and a subscription has been set afloat to alleviate their syf ferings, and already a large sum of money has been collected, principally through 'the humane and praise worthy exertions of persons residing in the vicinity of the unfortunate town. The Earl of Fortescue and seve ral -personages have handsOmely contributed to the wants of the sufferers, who are stated to amount to 'l3O families. The total loss is estimated at a very large amount. A portion - of the property destroyed is insured to the amount 5f about 4,000. in the Royal Exchange, Globe, and Westnt England Fire-offices. THEILATRAiREAT FIRE AT GLASGOW.— ,The principal_ sufferers by the late fire and destruction of the Lancefield Cotton Works, near the City of Glasgow, which took place yesterday week, are the Insurance ~Companies,.as will be observed by the following state -meat :—Sun Fire-office, 5,0001. ; imperial, 5;000/. ; Scottishs, Union,- 5,000/. ; Pheenix, 5,0091. ; Liverpool, York and North of London, 3,000/. ; West o f 00c. ; E ng l an d, 3,000/. ; Yorkshire, 2,500/. ; Manchester, 3,0001. ; GlaSgow, 2,oo4—Total, 38,500/.

MURDERERS OF MARY ROGERS.—On Monday, James Finnegan was arrested at Albany by officer Tompkins of this city, under in : formation, says the Argus, amounting nearly to cer tainty that he is one of the murderers of Mary Rogers. The police have already two or three of the gang in custody, and one of them confessed to the crime, and implicated Finnegan. The keeper of a house, to which they were in the habit of resorting, informed the police of F.'s whereabouts e he having quitted the city immedi ately after the murder. Two of the gang were .knowu to Mary Rogers, and, it is said, that, meeting her in the street on the morning of ler murder, invited her to sail to Hoboken, saying that they had hired a boat with oarsmen—that she accompanied them—was en ticed, unsuspecting, to a retired part of the shore, and there, after the accomplishment of their hellish pur poses, brutally murdered. Finnegan, when arrested, wore a rind which is said to h av e b een id ent ifi e d as be longing to. Miss Rogers, INCENDIARIES.—The Rev. J. Rankin, of Ripley, Mis souri;-publishes in the ''Telegraph of that place, that on. the night of the 12:h instant an attempt was made to fire his barn and to attack his house, by some six or . eight men. Threats had reached Mr. Renkin's ears of an intended attack, and he had prepared himself with. arms for his defence. His son and. nephew hearing a signal whistle, rushed out of the house with pistols. The son came upon one of the ruffians, and received a shot so close r e e e te. set-Ws shirt. on fire, and leave on Ws body "severe' distinet niurke of shot. The fire was re- Lured, sshen the assail gi t s cried murder and ran, An other man fired at the nephew, which was returned, and with a loud shriek his assailant fled, slower than the others. Six or seven shots passed in a few secon•ls— the young men pursued, but without overtaking the mob --nor,have the persons concerned since been discovered. The attempt to fire the barn failed, - Owing to the damp ness of the night. Mr. Rankin is an Abolitionist.

"Gentlemen —The . -New South Wales Act of 1828 - ; having been renewed for another y ear , you are aga i n fi called on to provide n. the legislative wants of the colony. I do not doubt that you will cheerfully meet this further demand upon your services. • I regret - that it is riot in my power to lay before you the important-Bills which were suspended last year, in - order that - the instruetion of her Majesty's Government might be obtained on some material points involved in them.. I trtist. however, that before the end of the session I maybe able to-reproduce them in such a state ail may render the discussion of easy and satisfactory. "I am convinced by almestAt , ery - dayes experience - of atheswetna threugheutethe.eelet4 of theinstitit liens which these Dill ithended •to provide Tin +esieetito Syd ney in partieular; it must, I think, appear 2 to'othere; -well as to znyself, a matterof surprise and regret, that a commercial. capital,. now containing more than 30,000 inhabitants, should be still without any means of self government. v : " I have receive& information• that her Majesty has been pleased :t0 "evert the-islands-ref New Zealand into a seperate•Goveriunent i and thateonsequently the intimate connection which existed' for a time'between New Zea land and- New SoutkWales, has ceased ; s friendly in tercourse, however, and one of mutual benefit, will con- . tinue, I trust, still to be kept up between the two coun tries; and there is. not, I am sure, an inhabitant of New South Wales who will not join with me in wishing suc• cess to the colorists of New Zealand. "I am notyet able to lay before the Council any d cu ments respecting the separation of the two colonies, but I hope sh' ray to be in a condition to do so. • " The important measures for which legislative pro vision was made by the•• Council during its last session, have been as far al poss:b!e carried into effect by tl.e executive - authority. A Court of superior jurisdic.ien has been .establiehed at Port Philip ; Circuit Courts at Bathurst, Berrima, and Maitland ; and Courts of Re quests in a considerable number of the minor towns of the colony. These are measures not- only calculated to be of great benefit to the colonists, but are otherw ine of importance, as approximating the institutions of the colony to the condition of those which we look up to with veneration in our parent land. • " A census has been taken of our-population, and es soon as possible, after all the returns are received, I shall lay the result before the Council.' " The colony has, moreover, in many other resptcs advanced during the year, in a gratifying and encou raging manner. - " Steam navigation has. greatly increased; a store of grain is provided against the recurrence of such a ca• lamity as that which visited us in 1839; immigration has been continued in a copious, though still an insuffi cient stream ; and the streets of Sydney are the first to testify that gas lights have made their appearance in the Eastern hemisphere. - " But notwithstanding these many subjects of congra tulation, it m us t b e acknowledged, that the few months which have elapsed since the Council last separated have been•anxiott‘ ones for the colony, and obvious to all, that the present times require of us the exercise of pa tience, industry, mutual forbearance, and economy ; with these, however, I feel confident that we shall eerily surmount our difficulties; whilst the evils of the present day will become profitable lessons for the future. " The commercial embarrassments, which first showed ! themselves in Sydney . about the month of October or November last, Aid not afflict the public income of 1840. The revenue of that year was indeed the largest ever collected in the colony—the gross receipts of the year having exceeded the gross expenditure by the large sum of 120,013!.1. notwithstanding that in the expenditure was included very nearly 150,0001. for immigration. " The ordinary revenue • of the Port Philip district was more than double that of the precedineeyear, it having incl.,- a'ed from 14,008/.. in 1839 to 29;799/. in 13-10, whilst the sale of Crown lands in that -district Vroneht to the •general land fund the - large antoont of 217,1271. thus aff or di ng to t h e o ld er parts of the colony the a (tens of replacing the labour and capital Which the - opening of Port Phillip had drained -from elein. ' • " Aided by the resources of the Older settletnenti, but unassisted ‘vith. barrowed money, -the district-or- Pert Philip hes risen rapidly to a State of wealth aatl tance, which cannot but be highly gratlying to Ow entire colony. The pecuniary difficulties utuler.l • ibich ineny 'rests in the Colony are - still suffering, omega, expected to affect the revenue of the present year, and of probably the next - suceeedinee - eite ; the `falling off, however, is as yet only serisibly`felt in the bianch of it which is derived from the sale of land, and in this even the deficiency may in part be ascribed to other causes, " 'nem pecuniary difficulties may safely, - I believe, be . said to have arisen from excessive speculation and an undue extension of credit. They seem to be of the nut tare of those which frequently and almost periodically occur in all places where commercial adventure is ewe.; and a remedy for them is, , I think, to be looked . fort the natural course of events, rather .than to be seitgitt, in any legisl a tiv e enactments.lll Af, of the circumstances which have contributed to bring about these embarrassments in our commercial relations may perhaps, without much risk of error, be pointed out, though it is very necessary to bear in tninti that in seeking to disc:sm.:rr such agencies the are very likely to . mistake elD!ctstor causes.

" In a country where labour is so much in demand, it must apprar strange to all who have their eyes directed on us, that we should neglect the nearest source from which it is to be obtained—l mean the real children of the soil, the aboriginal inhabitants of the country. Though by nature wild, and with difficulty induced to submit to the restraints which are imposed on ordinary labourers, abundant proof exists that they may be made to du so ; I have seen some establishMents myself, and am informed of others in which they hive been, and still are, profitably employed. The colonists are iudividttally no leSs than collec tively concerned in this important matter ; and in ad dition to the considerations of religion, humanity. and justice, which press so heavily upon us, we have now a further reason fln. turning our attention to it, as I har e received instru c ti ons from her Majesty's to_ to it‘l4:ily;tn the civilization and improvement of the abori vnes filt.egn per cent. of the revenue: derived from the sale of the unimproved lands of tile Crown ;- "4 On the subject of the aborigines, 1 shall lay before the*Council some iMportant despatches which I have re ..ceived from the Secretary of State.'

The artists were of course the fOremost to denounce the heresy against the established and orthodox mode of portrait-painting, which was implied in the boldness and freedom of his conceptions and the brilliancy of his colouring. His old master, Hudson, was the first to exclaim. Having looked for some time at a portrait which Reynolds had painted, and seeing probably nothing of his own manner left, he cried out, " By G—, Reynolds, you don't paint so well as you did !" .a face-maker, who had studied under Kneller, remonstrated on his imprudence. " ! Reynolds, this will never do ; why you don't paint the least like Sir Godfrey."

We could write books, we could tell many a ta'c, we could bring fOrward facts and statemeets of a startling nature, if we had time, but we wish to con fine ourselves now to the Hunters' Association, to show. what is its organization and strength. As we do not peopree to write its history, it may be sufficient to state that it was about tl is time that we can trace the begin ning of what afterwards was called the Hunters' Asso ciation. Whether it originated in New York or Ver mont, whither the 111‘Kenzies, the Nelsons, the Coats, were its principal founders ; whether the Baron Fratte lin, or the Chevalier de Lorimer, were the persons at whale - suggestion it was formed, we cannot say. Nei ther ean we say whether it originated in the spontaneous will and wish of its founders, or whether, at the very outset, it owes its origin to foreign influence. In May, 1838, the first lodges were formed, and Brian was elected one of the grand eagles for Vermont. The object of this body will be best understood from the form cif the oaths administered to its members. It is literally this :—" I swear to do my utmost to promote republican institutions and ideas throughout the world, to cherish them, to defend them, and especially to de vote myself to tl e propagation, protection, and defence of these institutions in North America. I pledge my life, my property, and my honour to the Association. I bind myself to its interests, and I promise, until death, that I will attack, combat, and help to destroy, by all means that my superior may think proper, every power or authorities of royal origin upon this continent, and especially never to rest till the British tyrants cease to have any possession or footing whatever in North Ame rica. So he'p me, God." The organization of the Association is divide-I into three principal branches— political, the military, and the financial ; which three branches are again subdivided into-many sections. The classification of the members is• as follows :—l. A Grand Sasar:en, or Grand Master—(Chief President). 2. Grand Engles—(Preddents of the different States). :3..E iglu—(Chiefs of Counties). 4. Grand Leaders— (Chiefs of Districts). 5. Grand Hunters (Chiefs of Townships). 6. Chief Hunters—(Chiefs of Lodges). 7. Hunters. The Supreme Lodge can be called the Executive.and Consultative Council of the Sasanen , but, in order to give a correct idea of the organization of the whole, we will carry our readers through the different ranks and classifications. An inferior, lodge is formed of from twenty to thirty common hunters, having for a head a chief hui:t. , .r, twenty to thirty of thes e c hi e f hunters folin . the lodge of a grand .hunter, twenty grand bunters form- the lodge 'Of a grand leader. The grand leaders are members orthe Council of the Eagle, whilst„ tworer more eag'es have consultative votes in the direction of the.-Society under the grand eagle in each State. It will be seen, that the whole, or the principle' o f Otis organizati on, i s m i strust ; and it insist be acknowledged that, if the discipline anti the statutes could have been enforced to the extent proposed, it would have creaed infinitely more mischief Oran it has as yet done. By the rule of the Society, every member, of what ever rank, i s obliged to provide himself' with a rifle or mtisket, a sword or dagger , and have always in his ha bitation forty charges opowder ; he is, besides, obliged to pay the following contributions :—Common hunter, 2 cents per week, or a dollar per year ; a chief hunter, di cents per week, or 3 dollars per year; a grand hunter, 122 cents per week, or six dollars per year ; a gran4 leader, 25 cents per week, or 12 dollars per year; an eagle, 371 cents per week, or 16 dollars per year ; wand eagle, 50 cents per week, or 20 dollars per year ; sasanen, 1 dollir per week, or 50 dollars per year ; be sides, a dollar is paid as entrance money, and a dol'ar on the election to any rank. The whole of this sum is kept at the disposal of the Supreme Council, and generally is used, partly to pro vide arms and ammunition for the poorer members, who cannot affor.l to buy them themselves ; to support newspapers and publications elited is the interest of the Association ; in paying emissaries, lecturers, post ages, and accumulating deposits of arms, cannon, and so faith. The number of lodges five months ago. were as fol low :—Maine, 99 ; Vermont, 107 ; New York, 283 ; Michisran, 54 ; Wisconsin, 7 ; Illinois, 21 ; Indiana, 14 ; Ohio, 86 ; Pennsylvania, 49 ; Kentucky, 11 ; Vir ginia, 21 ; Maryland, 16 ; Delaware, 2 ; New Jersey, 17 ; Missouri, 39 ; lowa, 3 ; Louisana, 11 ; New Hamp shire, 78; Massachusetts, 89; Rhode Island, 15 ; Con necticut, OS; - Lower Canada, nearly the whole of the French population are organized in lodges ; Upper Ca nada, 84. There.are a few lodges in New Brunswick, and a few scattered in other parts. The number of lodges in the State: not mentioned may amount to from 50 to 100. The number of members, if taken at the minimum, may be fairly calculated at 80,000 able-bodied n.en. and there are not fewer than 12,000 voters in the As sociation. The funds, donations, extra contributions, and a rigid economy in 1839 40 and part of 1841, hid se much increased as to save above 300,000 dollars as a receive. We will take another occasion to expose the plan and policy of the Association, as also its foreign connexions. We will trace, too, the career of its prin.. cipal upon the continent of Europe, its .connexion with American diplomatists, and so fottb. We ar c sorry t h at we must obs e r ve th at he members of the Association do not exclusively b e l ong to a party or exc l usively to any Party ; it includes go vernors , o ff icers , clergy men , levy yers, farmers, mechanics, soldiers, in fact, every class; and ever) body. . • '•• Si'.

Some Poles of an inferior rank v.e - e also engage 1, but they were only birds of passage ; till, is the middle of the summer of 1838, the plan•weis formed - to make a determined and unanimous effort upon the whole frontier. Rendezvous for fo reigners were opened in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, &e. Tne P:dish Colonel, Von Sultz (a Fin lander by birth, the son of Count R----) was to di rect, as chief of the staff, the - operations in Upper Ca nada ; for Lower Canaan, the French Cana diens insisted in hiving only French officers, and at last thee e appointed Monsieur Charles leg, a French officer, ore of their brigadiers. The command in chief of all the forces, patriots, and hunters, was to be assume 1 by Dacter Nelson nominally, but -in reality by a Polish or Hungarian facer of some talent and ability. Jealousy, . disunion, and treason, or rather em bezzlement by some leading members, tendered the whole proceedings farcical. Von Suitz, after having, lion-like, fought for three days against a force ten times his suberior, with a heroism worthy a nol&r cause, was taken and hanged, with all his officers, .Hindeolang surrenderell, exposed in a most forcible manlier the infamous conduct of Coat and Nelson ; and, in spite of 'a most noble defence, and a thrilling appeal from the pen of General Bratish, was hanged haranguing • the people in the most enthusiastic manner, the people ending with the shouts of " Vive la liberte !" " Vive Piadependence Canadien I" The writer of this knows that both Saltz and Hindealang wete only- enthusiastic dupes, and that persons infinitely more guilty, who fell into the hauds of the British authorities, escaped scot free. - The-escapo of the political prisoners from the citadel of Quebec, one of the strongest places . in the world, shOWs hoW extensite and how.. general the adhe sion to the hanters'• interests was.

He was very much blamed for being such a bad diplomatist. Whether he was cashiered, or • yet keeps his eLee, we rve not in a position to ascertain. To Eagiand an Irishman and a Scotch man were sent, M'E— and S—g, to see what could be done with the Chattists. We have heard a great deal about the report of these two gentlemen, :Weft we cannot repeat, as we have no proof in our hands, and t h reseed only part of the truth would com mit some pe:sons very deepl . . It was at their sug gestion that subs.eririons to the Irish repeal fund were begun in America, which, of course, will increase con siderably if the Council of the Hunters should approve of that ecacrable mode of sympathising agitation. The question has very often been asked, is it true that Russia or any other power encouraged the Canadian rebels and American sympath4ers. To - give a positive answer would be rather a difficult .task ; but one thing we know, that '50,000 dollars, 5,000 rifles, some can nons, and a large amount of ammunition and prev sions, were offered through a foreign agent, by two foreign mercantile houses in New York or Philadel phia. This we know to be a fact. We 'could tell something more on this point, but as her Msjesty's Government did not think fit to divulge any facts, so it is our duty not to do so. This list year .ho lodges were uncommonly active. Two Plenipotentiaries of the highest rani; class were sent to Europe particularly t o ertgageprVesSional military me n and officers of talent and experience. One entered on his mission et Bremen, 'in Germany, but, after making several arrangements, even packing up things and frvigbt ng a ship, his funds failed ; ti at is to say, the person to whom they were entrustedeonverted thetn'to his own use ; and as the thing was so eau liuuslN or; tinged thst no evidence could be procured by "the bloody English," the treasurer could of course laugh- in the fine of his Excellency the Plenipotentiary. However, the Bremen autho r it ies b egan ' to. siiipect • • something wrong, and requested his F.xcelliney to leave Ihe - tf_trritory of the republic. He remained some time in Alußter, in IVe:tphel,a, but, as we hear, be obtained • few recruits and fewer frientle. Th e last we heard of him was at Antwerp and Rotterdam, where lie was seheming on paper the freight of a ship lot emigrants to be carried to the state of Make, on eretiit of Comae.. We are often asked who is the Grand Swan.: ( , Klhu arc the Grand 11;.1:41,:s? It is reel!) , impossible to state this positiv. ; but we may bezitrd an opinion, that the actual Chairn as of the Committee of Foreign .Al - of Congress (Catels Coshing) knows something about the matter. Itt one of his last lectures at Spring field, Massachusetts, he states that it is the duty of every American to co-operate for the expif shin of British in, fluence and authority from that continent.
