The Music is certainly very sweet, and tninglet 'taste and science together in a way which Cannot 'fail to make ns lend our ears to it with pleasure. But there is an inertness in the vehicle tart to he surmounted, either by SHIELD'S compo sitions, or the exertions of the actors; comMend able and excellent as thiy are. Such is our opinion of the New Piece' ; hut we 'are always wiiling to imprOve our Own judgment by - co6sulting the criticisms of our contemporaries. With this in view we, as is' our custom, . gave full attention to the judicious observations of the Allorizing Chronicle of this day. They struck us as somewhat curious, but we could not tell tv4,y,r till we referred to the equally judicious ob servations of the same Journal of Ttiesday, when We discovered that the cause of our surprise might be attributed to the following specimens of con sistency in that theatrically, as well as politically consistent publication ; " The mask, whiah if' good, in a production at this tle• *caption, would compensate for its ' poverty of incident and langour CI slyly . affords to this piece little grounds for its success with the public.

A letter from Montrose says—" Within this fortnilit inanufactares have revived a little, cloth has ativanced'a little in price, many dealers have disposed of their stocks, and the price of the raw• materials has fallen greatly in the foreign market. As there is almost no flax in the country, sercral vessels are chartered for the Baltic, bulb here and at Dundee, to bring home cargoes of that article this season." A - Petition from Lancashire has been presented to Government, praying for a prohibitory duty being laid on all cotton twist exported, in order to, prevent the manufacturers on the continent using "the same, to, the great detriment of this' country. Since the twist has been permitted to he sent abroad, and manufactured on therconti nent, several thousands of hand§ have been thrown out of employ in Lancashire and the adjoining counties. It was intended to have waited untit the meeting of Parliament, and to bring the Matter forward before the legislattne ; but on more ma ture Consideration, it was found, that before that period arrived, the evil would have been remedi less, as the continent would have received a suf ficient 'supply for its purposes, and the people em ployed in the manufactories of this kingdom totally ruined.

The iodictrtient contained two'countt; but he did not see that the prisoner's would 'be put to any in convenience, because it Wes their object to prove that d i ck , was no high treason at all. The objection was over-ruled. Daniel Barry lived in Ebeneter-ph:tee, cress-street : he knew Power fur 18 years, and Pelltatit for 5 months : he taw Pelham fast in Power's company ; they bath Ohm*" to tvitness's house; and asked if he had any wtiik, and request ed him to go nut with them.
