SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIMES.—If there was any mistake in trio arrange ments of the Canadian union, it was in the choice of the capital. The uniform experience of federal unions proves the necessity of selecting a seat of government as free as possible from local perturbations and interests. Ac• cordims,ly, the sagacious founders of the great American commonwealth did not aim at making Boston, or New York, or Philadelphia the rival of republican Rome, but planted their federal legislature in a separate district, far away from the existing haunts of commerce and wealth. Whatever difficulties there were to be sur mounted in this instance, there were also in the choice of a capital for the common government of our British l and French populations on the St. Lawrence. Montreal was recommended by its geographical positism, but by nothing else. Its populace had lung been notorious as the roughest and most turbulent in the New World. It was already the scene of party strife, and while the French population continued numerous enough to keep up national jealousies, the British increased in far greater ratio. The result now shows that a Canadian Parliament will always have to fight for its independence, and a Canadian Governor-General will always have to fight for his dignity against the Montreal mob. A few hun dred men of the lowest class, swollen by outcasts from the neighbouring union, and instigated more or less openly by a disappointed faction in the colony itself; Rill be sufficient to keep both the Legislature and the Execu tive in continual trouble. This is the real account of the Canadian disturbances. Imagine a fifth-rate sea- port in this country suddenly exalted into a seat of government, and the resort of political agitators. Imagine a provincial town in the enjoyment of a perpetu a lly contested elec tion, with Whigs and Tories ever bidding against one another. There you have Montreal at once, excepting that Montreal, over and above all the sources of mischief in a British town, contains a population almost equall, divided between its English, its Irish, and its French ingredients. This is more than enough to ac count for all that has taken place and is still taking place in that city. The majority of the Parlia meat is one way, the majority of the mob another; so, without for a moment disputing the fact that the whole colonial population is fairly represented in Parlia ment, the local mob attempt to intimidate and virtually depose, not merely the representative of the Sovereign, but even the representatives of the people. The attempt is intelligible, and need excite no surprise; but it is also most outrageous and most impudent, and must be put down. France tolerates that Paris—an ancient, a popu lous, and a most splendid metropolis, that for many centuries has set the fashion to the provinces —should continue to exercise that immemorial privilege ; but the mob of Montreal has about as little pretension to over rule the two millions of Canada, as the mob of Sunder land, of Limerick, or Dundee has to govern the twenty seven millions of these isles. At this distance, and with necessarily imperfect information, it is not easy to see why the last disturbances should not have been antici pated by judicious arrangements of the soldiery and police. All that can be said is that such things have happened in this country, and will probably happen again. On the 15th ult. several of the leaders in the former outbreak were arrested, in some instances after a little opposition. One might naturally suppose that ex traordinary precaution would be taken at such a junc ture. However, it appears a mob was suffered to as semble, to attack Mr. Lafontaine's residence, break down I the gate, and advance within 20 feet of the house with the evident intention of burning . it to the ground. Mr. Lafontaine and his friends gave the scoundrels the re ception they deserved. One fellow paid the penalty of his meditated crime on the spot, and the rest took warn ing by his fate. It is, however, a matter of regret that a great officer of the State should have been placed under the cruel necessity of defending his own life and pro perty against a gang of ruffians. when soldiery, police, and the hangman were so much fitter for the office. Subse quently it would seem that more effectual measures were adopted. The principal offenders have been arrested; among them the man who officiated as " Oliver Crom well" at the destruction of the Parliament-house. The malcontents have since proved both their temper and their weakness by having recourse to secret incendiarism. A splendid hotel and some other large buildings have been sacri ficed to the loyalty or the amusement of the Mon treat Tories; and the British name has been glorified b) proceedings borrowed from Captains " Rock" and " Swing," and Mistress "Rebecca." Meanwhile we have great pleasure in observing that the Governor-General is warmly supported both by his Sovereign and by the really loyal part of the Canadian people. The Gazette announces his elevation to the English peerage. As the champion of constitutional principles against the usur pations of faction and the ascendancy of race, Lord Elgin well deserves this honour at the hands of a con stitutional Government. We will not believe the alleged disagreement between the military and the government, or the alleged hesitation of the Ministers. They must persevere. Theirs is the cause of responsible govern• moot. The eyes of England and the world are upon them. Tin it Sovereign beckons them onward in their struggle. It is a question of principle. The event is ii the hands of Omnipotence. It may be His will that Canada, having attained its maturity, should soon be come independent, or embrace the fortunes of the neigh bouring federation; but even in that case it will at has be our consolation and glory that our last act was to teach it self-government. CHRONICLE.—The Canadian intelligence which it was our disagreeable task to present to our readers yes terday, and additional particulars of which will be found in our columns this morning, affords a gloomy and omi nous picture of popular discontent and official itnbi ci lity. There does not, indeed, appear ground for believ ing that any largo portion of the population of Montreal are directly implicated in the shameful disorders refer red to; and we should doubtless do our Canadian fellow subjects a gross injustice if we imagined for a moment that street rioting, ferocious and cowardly mob-assaults on individual', and insults to Ministers of State, could have the approval and sympathies of any section of their community, except the habitually ill-disposed and law less class to whom one pretext for mischief is as good as another. But, however few and despicable may be the actors in these scenes, all experience tells us that the un checked perpetration of such outrages argues a pro found alienation of public opinion and feeling from the depositaries of the governing power. Excesses like those which have once more disgraced the seat of Government in Canada—and it is a highly significant circumstance that, as a correspon dent elsewhere remarks, they have occurred nowhere else than at the " seat of Government "—take place only when the bulk of the community are so deeply dissa tisfied with their rulers, that the latter shrink from even attempting to organize popular resistance to mob violence. Contemptible, therefore, both morally and numerically, as may be the authors of these Montreal disturbances, we must protest against the pleasant delu stun that there is no ominous political significance in s state of thn A s which shows an utter debility and pros tration of all legitimate authority. We need not now repeat ' details which have already appeared in our columns. especially as the reader will elsewhere find a lucid and connected narrative of the whole affair in the letter signed " A Colonist"—a communication which we pub lish for the sake of its vividly descriptive account of the actual condition of things at Montreal, although dis senting from many of the writer's views on questions of general policy. A very brief recapitulation of the leading facts may here suffice. It seems that, after nearly four months of apparent torpor and paralysisahe Canadian Government have taken courage, and have begun a sort of secret scrutiny into the conduct of certain parties sup posed to have been concerned in the outrage of the 25th April—a mode of proceeding which strikes us as a very ill-judged substitute for regular and public proceedings before the usual tribunals. Having succeeded, as they imagined, in getting up a case against some of the indi viduals alluded to, they determined on arresting them; and, gratuitously assuming the inveterate disaffection and turbulence of the Montreal public, they previously filled the city with an offensive display of military and armed police—quite needlessly, it would appear, since it is distinctly stated that the persons accused were of such a class and character that forcible resistance on their part was the last thing to be looked for. As regards, indeed, the armed and mounted police, the exhibition was very much worse than needless and offensive; for, after provoking several collisions with the populace, this force was, we are told, " sent across the river at the dictatio n of the mob"—a most ignominious and damaging concession to a power which ought never to be braved by halves. During the irri tation and excitement produced by these measures of alternate violence and poltroonery, a mob of some two or three hundred persons —mostly, it is said, mere boys— started off (on the night of the 15th ult.) for Mr. Lafon taine's residence, broke open the outer gates, and en tered his garden. Mr. Lafontaine, however —with a zeal of self-preservation which it would have been well if he and his superior had always exhibited in their official, as well as iu their personal capacity—had taken the pro caution of garrisoning his d wellin g w ith a well arme d forge, consisting of his personal or political friends, and (it is said) some disguised policemen. Immediately on the rioters coming in front of the b uilding —without a word of notice or warning to them to retreat—shots were fired from the house , a nd on e lad fell mortally wounded, with ten slugs in his bod y . The full ult er i or consequences of this disastrous occurrence we have yet to learn. The funeral of the slain youth took place on the 18th, amidst much painful cu d mis chievous excitement ; the inquest was still proceeding on the morning of the 20th, the latest day to which our accounts reach. In noticing the rumour that Mr. Lafontaine had at first refused to give evidence before the jury, and only made his appearance on the issue of a warrant for his arrest, we must plainly say that we reserve, until the receipt of further information, oar belief in so astounding a display of lawless and bad feeling. Nor shall we et present attempt to prejudge the question of the Minister's legal or moral culpability in the affair that led to the calamitous and fatal result which forms the subject of that investigation. Certainly, there is no-thing on the face of the transaction, so far as the facts are yet known, that would decisively warrant a verdict of " justifiable homicide"—since, on the one hand we are not informed that the violence displayed by the rioters was of that kind and degree which would alone warrant an instant resort to the last extremity in self defence, and, on the other, all the accounts agree in negativing the essumptiou that thy assailants had been previously warned to disperse. With every wish to make due allowance for the fact that this was not the first time that the Minister's residence had been visited by a mob,`, we are bound to say that the case, as it etsnds, is one calling for the fullest and moat searching inquiry —and that it must be presented to the public in a very different shape from what it at present wears, befOre Mr. Lafontaine cm be completely exonerated from the charge of an almost criminal eagernsss to take extreme measures. It must at least be allowed that this Minister's extraor dinary promptitude and decision in the defence of his private abode strangely contrast with the tardiness and nonchalance evinced by the Governor-General in main taining the public peace and the authority of the Queen and the law. Where the Parliament-house and archives of two provinces were concerned, Lord Elgin could see nothing but " grave objections" to a preventive exer tion of force, and he made a merit of having passively waited for "overt acts" until the mischief was done. When it comes, however, to something like a personal question between authority and turbulence, Lard Elgin's advisers at once rise superior to their principal's ner vous horrors of measures having " a tendency to pro duce a collision." Some of our readers, by the way, may be innocent enough to wonder that they hear nothing, in all this deplorable business, about a Gover nor-General—that thers is, in fact, nothing to show that the vice-regal office was not abolished at the same time with the Parliament-house. This is really the most disgraceful part of the affair. While the public peace is openly violated, and the most flagrant outrages are hourly committed in his capital, Lord Elgin keeps himself safely stowed away, " with guards doubled," at his favourite retreat of Alonklands—cultivating, we suppose, cabbages and " dignified neutrality,"—and leaving the tranquillity of the province, the authority of the laws, and the ho nour and dignity of the British crown to be taken care of by deputy. Now, we do not presume to say that he is not 'best where he is; nor do we stop to consider whether it is his " misfortune" or his " Sault" that he cannot show his face outside his own doors without the . imminent risk of making bad worse; but certainly, . this is " governing" Canada, there is nothing to be said except that the British North American Viceroyalty is about the snuggest berth for privileged incompetence and laziness ever devised by the genius of sinecurism. And actually this is the monent, of all others, which her Majesty's Ministers have selected (vide last night's Ga zette) for showering new hereditary honours on this faniiant representative of the Crown, who runs away from riot and arson, and leaves law, order, and " seat of Government" to shift for themselves. Not withstanding our very high opinion of our Co lonial Secretary's audacity and obstinacy, we are much inclined to risk the predic.ion, that the newly-created " Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" wilt at no distant date enter on the personal enjoyment of his dignity as a member of the Upper House of Parliament. We take it to be quite impossible that Earl Grey's colleagues can be satisfied to go on much longer with the experiment of " govern ing" Canada through a Viceroy who finds it necessary to hide himself from all the world for four months toge ther—and who, at a time when seditious and anarchical turbulence is rife and rampant in the capital of his pro vince, thinks (perhaps correctly) that the best thing he can do is to keep very quiet. This is a case that is plainly past mending. When a Government has once brought things to such a pass that it has hopelessly lost mural weight, dignity, and authority—that its vigour only exasperates, while its leniency cannot conciliate and soothe—there is buy one way out of the difficulty. No pertinacity of Earl Grey's will ever make Lord Elgin more than a nominal Governor-General of Canada; and if that high office is meant to be a reality, it cannot too soon pass into other hands. HERALD.—That ever wise, ever plausible, and most consummately self-satisfied and contemptible class of politicians, which judges everything by the event, has recently raised a loud shout of praise at the successes of the Russian armies over the Hungarians, and has, ac cording to its wont, chaunted forth article after article on the power, the glory, and the greatness of Russia. But the successes of the united Austrian and Russian armies over the Hungarians, after a campaign of three months, in which the latter almost always exhibited science, skill, and military talent of the highest order, and in which the former rarely exhibited any of these qualities, so far from proving the invincibility of Russia, only proves how much Russian power and Muscovite military strength have been exaggerated by those living remote and far removed from the scene of action. Whether in reference to certain scenery or to men, ma terial, and those things which are called empire, "dis tance lends enchantment to the view," in as great a ratio as to the Swiss chalet or to the Windermere cottage. Omtte ignotum pro mayni fico is the common rule, and when it is considered how freely Russian orders, rings, and rubles are bestowed fur any modi cum of praise, however small, in the Russian system, there is no reason why the Emperor, his generals, and his army, should not come in for an extravagant portion of laudation. Yet t this praise the Ruicsian army or military system is in no degree entitled. Evi r since the French revolution of February, 1848, the Emperor of liussia has been Idling his tune, and making his prepa rations quietly and effectually. He has had no Parlia ment to control—no finance committee to fetter him. his Cabinet is nut a constitutional Cabinet, bound to the country as well as to the S Piereign. and accountable o the nation at large, but a set of head clerks, civil and military, sitting to register the decrees of a Ca tr, whom they worship next to God himself: his senate is not a senate elected by the people, but a College of Senators named by the despotical di•penser of all patronage, civil, military, naval, and ecclesiastical. Nicholas is a man prone to do what he will with his own, and the life and f irtunes of every man, woman, and child in Russia being at his disposal, he can command as he listeth, e nd is over his great empire obeyed accordingly. When, therefore, he determined, in February, 1848, to pour immense bodies of troops and soundless munitions of war into Poland, he had but to wilt it, and the thing was done. For eighteen months These contingents of men and of warlike material have been daily increasing. Bodies of troops were ordered •rom the Caucasus, from the military colonies, and from Circassia, to Poland and the parts adjacent—to the Austrian and Hungarian frontiers; while the armies of Generals Luders and Duhamel in Moldavia and Wal lachia were greatly increased. All the resources, ma terial, moral, and financial, of the Russian empire, were, for a period of fifteen months, brought to bear on one given point. When, at the latter end of April or the beginning of May, the Russian forces received orders to march into the Magyar country, there were assembled an the various points from which they diverged into Hungary, the hoarded fruits of fifteen months' prepara tion—in Imm—in horses—in chosen generals—in artil lery. Nut content with such generals as Roth, Rosen, Kreutz, and De Witt, the Emperor put into requisition his most famous general and only field-marshal, Prince l'a*kewitch Erivansky, whole equivocal laurels were won in Poland and in Persia; and with this veteran Lithuanian ho associated the German Rudiger. But although these Russian officers were aided by Luders and others of high repute in Russia—though a son of the Czar accompanied the expedition—and though llaynau, Czerich, Walden, and all the Austrian generals and staff contributed such science and skill as they pos sessed to the combined allied stock—and the Austrian artillery, be it noted, has always been considered among the first in the world—yet three months elapsed before the united armies of Russia and Austria gained the slightest advantage over the brave but undisciplined Hungarians. Nor were such advantages even then gained till dissension and jealousy had spread in the Hungarian ranks—till Georgey had become jealous of Bem and Dembinski, and insubordinate to Kossuth and the Hungarian Central Go vernment. Unaware of the reasons that induced Georgey to surrender, we will not pronounce on his motives nor censure his acts. He may have bad good reasons and patriotic motives for pursuing the course which he has lately pursued. But considering that his corps d'armee was the mostnum!rotis and the best provided among all the Hungarian divisions—con sidering also that he was the most seasoned and the best disciplined —considering that he was the first Hungarian general to adopt such a course, and to give such an example of yielding, it is not going too far to state that his conduct requires explanation—explanation which, sooner or later, ought to be and must be given before he is acquitted in the eyes of posterity. No men are more penetrated with the truth of the proverb, that an ass laden with gold can enter the gates of the strongest city, than the Russian ge n era l s . Th e victories of Russian troops in Turkey, in Persia, in Poland, and in Circassia, have been grea tly more owing to gold than to gunpowder, and though we are far from saying that Georgey was ever corruptible or ever corrupted, yet it is plain that Kossuth in that in tercepted letter to Bem, dated August 14th, not merely intimates, but roundly expresses an opinion that there was treason in his own camp. " The edifice of my country's freedom, and the sanctuary of European liberty is destroyed," says Kossuth, " not by our enemies, but by our brethren." These brethren were not the Poles Bern or Dembinski, or the Irishman Guyon. These brethren were Magyars—were Hungarians. Who aro they? Who are the traitors, if they be many—or who is the individual traitor, if he but one? It is curious and significant that Ilaynah and Paskewitch, in their reports to their respective Governments, both pronounce panegyrics on Georgey, and none on any other Magyar General, though there were half a dozen other bred and burn Hungarians with the rank of generals of division. How is this? To praise a van quished enemy is good taste and geiserou•; but Georgey was not vanquished. He might have held out for some time longer, but instead of pursuing that course he surrendered to the Russian Field-Marshal, calling for the intercession of Nicholas with Francis Joseph. The I first use Paskewitch Erivansky wade of this surrender was to lay Hungary tat the feet of the Czar. The promp titude and the ostentation with which this was done — the great cry that has been raised about it—sufficiently indicate the desire of the Russians to have a submi ssion at any cost. A million or two millions of silver ruble.s, say in round numbers 150,000 i. of our money, w?uid not, it is plain, have been deemed too great a pecuniary sacrifice to obtain a submission, on w hich . th h e t Russian commander lays such great stress.. A fortnig or thr . ee 7 0 (1 1. 1 t o t t e r weeks before the submissi d o i n sp , counsel s a ß t u ch ss e i d an for. at fault; couriers were G . e were a e l and Woronzoffs--sicknesa and disorgantzation were be ginning to show themselves —the R U6llllll army was as _~ :- T'Z i-- - -,..: e __ -• ,-- . e-. - - 7 . , -- , ---2_,,1-;_,?./ [PRICE SD. much discouraged in Hungary as the same army in Turkey, under Diebitch in 1828—yet all of a sudden, and as if by magic, affairs change, and one Ilungarian general, for a period of nearly three months successful, surrenders without resistance. We blame no individual, we asperse no commander. These facts may be, and doubtless are, explainable. All, however, we know is, that they ha ve no t b een ex pl a i ne d. Supposing, how ever, Georgey to have held out obstinately—to have continued a harassing war with brilliant success for another month, and to have yielded after a desperate battle in which he was fairly beaten, ought such a victory t o ra i se t h e repute of Russ i an or Austrian armies, or of both united? Certainly not. Quite the contrary, indeed. Those armies, however numerous, however well supplied with artillery, cannot to considered very formidable in the field when we actually know that 300,000 men, with every appliance of means and material or war, had taken three months to put don an undi sc i p li ned body of Hungarians, without munitions and material of war—fighting under every disadvantage of want of provi s i ons — want o f munitions— and want of artillery. N or are the Hungarians, after a three months' struggle, put down at last by fair fighting in an open field, but by the surrender of a soldier in vested with absolute power, act i ng on his own responsi bility, and against the wishes of many of his brother commanders. So far, therefore, from thinking the Rus sian feats in Hungary as calculated to increase the prestige of Russian power, we are persuaded they will but serve to demonstrate the real weakness of Russia, out of her own territory out of that inhos pitable region in which her soldiers arc acclimated. Though Russia has great natural advantages and considerable internal resources on her own soil, yet out of Russia, and as an aggressive power, opposed either to England or to France, she is not formidable. Her armies are numerous in men, and well supplied with material, but though the body be there, the soul and the spirit are wanting. All the greatest victories that the world has seen have been achieved, not by numerous hosts of slaves, but by small armies of seasoned soldiers with a cause, a country to die for and to save. Pre cocious in its growth—precocious in its semblanc e o f power—Russia has a giant's stature and scarcely more than an infant's strength. The empire is thoroughly rotten before it is half ripe, and of all the public ser vices of Russia, cankered alike by corruption, the ser vices of the army and navy are the most cankered and the most demoralised. Regarded, however, in any aspect, Russian interference in Hungary is a great European calamity, and may lead to consequences sot now fore seen—not now apprehended. BIRII2INGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—The triennial festival commenced this morning, under the most favourable auspices, and the results anticipated, and up to the present moment realised, are in the highest degree satisfactory. It will be in the recollection of every one who watches the progress of musical development that on this day three years Mendelssohn's Elijah was first performed in England; since then it has acquired a national and European celebrity, and by the great bulk of musical cognoscenti it is regarded as little if at all inferior to the most cherished productions of Han del. Again has this glorious oratorio formed the subject of the opening day's performance ; but what a change of circumstances ! The great maestro no longer lives, though his memory will for ever be per petuated in his work , and instead of the living pre sence of Mendelssohn we have to-day celebrated the inauguration of his statue, which has been raised by his admirers as a fitting tribute to his memory. The appearance of the hall was in the highest degree animated and enlivening. Almost all the entire area was appropriated to reserved seats, and not a seat was observed to be vacant. There must have been upwards of 3,000 persons present, including the bulk of the midland aristocracy, and the following persons of distinction :—Viscount Guernsey (Presi dent), the Duke of Marlborough, Marquis of North ampton, Earls of Denbigh, Aylesford, Talbot, and Bradford ; Viscount Lifford ; Bishop of Worcester, Lords Lyttelton, Galway, Sandys, Leigh, Willoughby de Broke, and Wrottesley ; Hon. C. H. Clive, the Dean of Lichfield, Hon. F. Gough, Sirs G. Skipworth, J. R. C. B. Cave, T. E. Winnington, W. E. E. Har topp, F. Scott, and J. Pakington ; Messrs. Newde gate, M.P., R. Spooner, M.P., G. F. Muntz, 11. P., Adderley, T. C. Whitmore, M.P., Scholefield, M.P., W. S. Dugdale, C. S. Shirley, F. C. Curzon, J. Taylor, J. F. Ledsatn, W. James, S. Sharnton, J. W. Whateley, G. Whateley, S. Carter, &c. Since the last festival great alterations have been made in the orchestra. The organ itself has been raised to continental pitch, and the position of the organist has been so changed as to enable the con ductor to centralise the instruments, and present them as a counterfoil to any imperfection on the part of the chorus, if it be possible that imperfection shauld exit where all is unimpeachable. Hence the choral body occupy the extreme wings of the orchestra, and the conductor is enabled to develop the highest effects of instrumentation by having them within the imme diate range of his baton. The band at the present meeting comprises 21 first violins, 24 second violins, 16 violas, 16 violoncellos, 15 double basses, 4 flutes, 4 oboes, 4 clarionets, 4 bassoons, 4 trumpets, 4 horns 3 trombones, 1 ophiclide, 1 serpent, 3 harps, and a drum of every class. That musical abortion, the monstrc ophiclide was entirely repudiated. The chorus comprises 80 trebles, 75 altos, 79 tenors, and 83 basses. Hence the band and chorus, with the assist ance of the principal singers, give an orchestral total of 460 performers. When to this it is added that the band and choir embrace the first available talent in England, if not in Europe, and that the whole body have been in constant rehearsal for some days past, under M. Costa, it will at once be obvious that the executive character of the present festival must assume the highest possible rank. When Elijah was first produced, three years ago, Staudigl impersonated the prophet. We had to-day a worthy successor to the great artist in the person of Pischek. The music then interpreted by Madame Caradori Allen was to-day assigned to Madame Castellan, and though doubts might exist as to the comparative artistic finish of the latter, there is no question that in the element of tune she was im measurably superior. The part of Obadiah, which embraces several delicious tenor morceaux, was for merly taken by Lockey; his place to-day was sup plied by Sims Reeves and Signor Mario; and though it may certainly be questioned whether Miss Williams be a sufficient substitute for Miss Dolby, or Miss M. B. Hawes, it was obvious from her recep tion that the audience were quite satisfied with the exchange, for she received a warm encore in the air 0 rest in the Lord." As the oratorio has within the last three years been so frequently before the public, it would be futile to enumerate the beauties wherewith it abounds, and to recapitulate those of this morning's performance would be little more than a catalogue of the gems which the oratorio contains. It will therefore be sufficient to observe that the great and signal glory of the present meeting, so far as hitherto ap parent, consists in the stupendous choral ef kcts which have been realised, and the exquisite re sults of the concerted pieces. .Pischek wens through the part of the prophet, like one upon whom the mantle of fervid declamation had alighted ; and though, in one or two instances, the original score became attenuated in his hands, by taking an octavo higher than severity permits, he acquitted himself gloriously. Madame Castellan in " Hear ye, Israel," was unquestionably great, and Sims Reeves, though evidently suffering from recent indisposition, en• tranced his hearers by his delicious reading of " If with all your hearts." That he sang at all under ex• isting circumstances redounds most highly to his credit, and that he sang so well was the surprise of every one. The event of the morning, however, was Mario's performance of that exquisite air, " Then shall the righteous." It was delivered with all the beauty which characterises his most elaborate per formance, and with an intensity of pathos to which the ranks of English sacred music can furnish no parallel. Miss M. Williams was well received in her various songs, more especially " 0 rest in the Lord," in which she was encored; and Miss A. Williams sang most exquisitely the music allotted to the youth in the recitatival dialogue with Pischek. The unac companied trio, " 0 rest in the Lord," by the Misses Williams and Miss Stevens was encored, and so also was the final quartet, " 0 come every one that thirsteth," by the Misses Williams, Mr. Sim Reeves, and Mr. Machin. Asa whole, the opening day of the festival has passed off in the most gratifying manner, and there is little doubt that the meeting IN ill prove the most suc cessful that has yet been held. Tha choruses were stupendous. __— MAILS DUE DURING THE PRESENT 111ONT11.—Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Madeira, Cadiz, and Gibraltar on the 15th and 25th inst., at Southamp'on.

KIDDERMINSTER, TUESDAY.—The nomination of a candidate for the representation of this borough, in the room of the late Mr. Godson, took place in a field adja cent to the town this morning. The banners and various devices displayed upon them were pretty nearly equal. The Re: urning-officer (the MAYOR) having called upon any elector to name a candidate, Mr. BOYCOTT, sen., proposed Mr. John Best (Conser vative) as a fit ri presentative for the borough in Parlia ment. He had known his young friebd from his youth. He admired his priLciples, and his birth,-parentage, and education, constituted a sufficient guaranttib for his future conduct. Mr. CHELLINGWOITH seconded the nomination. The proposition was received with mingled groans and hisses. Mr. J. HoLstEs, in proposing Mr. Gisborne, described the lion. Candidate as a gentleman of progressive prin ciples. He was in favour of the principles in virtue of which they had obtained the elective franchise, and his past conduct in Parliament was a surety for the future. Mr. BRINTON, 10 seconding the nomination of Mr. Gisborne, stated that it was not upon personal acquaint ance, nor from early intimacy, for he had known Mr. Best from his infancy, that he advocated the cause of Mr. Gisborne, it was upon principle. The MAYOR having asked whether the electors had any other candidate to propose, and no reply being given, Mr. Barr addressed the assembly. He complained of some personal insult which had been offered to himself and friends; declared himself an advocate of old Con servative and Tory measures, and expressed his belief to be that the opinions he entertained were those of the electors of Kidderminster.—(The Hon. Gentleman was loudly cheered by his friends). Mr. GISIORNE next addressed the electors. He ap peared extremely ill, and stated that in all probability that was the last occasion upon which he should appear before a Parliamentary constituency. He advocated the doctrines of free trade, and expressed the greatest confi dence as to the result of the present election. Upon a show of hands the numbers were declared to . . be in favour of Mr. Gisborne; but it was a very scanty majority. _ _ A vole of thanks was returned to the Mayor, and to morrow the poll commences. The prevailing opinion is that Mr. Best must win. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—By the death of Rear- Admiral H. H. Christian, Captain George Edward Watts (1814) becomes Rear-Ad m i ra l . his serv i ces are thus epitomised in the New .Nuvy List :—G. E. Watts served at the attack upon the French frigate squadron and the capture of the Desiete, in Dunkirk -roads. In 1807, when Lieutenant of the Comus, he commanded the boats of that vessel at the cutting out of six vessels at Grand Canaria; was severely wounded in cutting out an armed Spanish vessel, the San Pedro, exposed to a heavy fire from the enemy's guns; the same year assisted at the capture of the Danish frigate Frederickscoarn, on which occasion he headed the boarding party. In 1809 he commanded the Ephira at the capture of Cuxhaven and the destruction of the battery; and also highly distin guished himself by his gallantry at the destruction of the batteries at Guaseudorf, and the defeat and disper sion of the French troops on the banks of the Weser. In 1810 he destroyed a Danish privateer under the fire of batteries and field pieces. The same year he destroyed a privateer under the batteries of Fludstraud. In 1812 he engaged a Danish flotilla in the Malmo Channel. In 1814, when commander of the Jaseur, captured the Grecian of 20 guns. The same year was engaged in a series of operations on the Patuxent, comprising the capture of the towns of Benedict and Marlborough, and the destruction of considerable property on the banks of that river, He has been altogether forty times under fire, and has received seventeen wounds, sixteen of which were while engag e d h an d t o h an d w i t h t h e enem y in command of boats, in the harbours, and under the bat teries of Spain, France, and Denmark. He saw sixteen years full-pay service, and has been " on the shelf " thirty-four years. Lord Auckland gave him a pension of 1501. per annum in July, 1848, as some reward for his distinguished services, which he must now give up. Sir William Burnett, K.O 13., M.D., F.R S., Director- General of the Medical Department of the Navy, is at this port making his half-yearly inspection of the medical establishment. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 4.—Commodore-Superintendent Henry Eden has gone on leave for a short period. The Retribution steam-vessel was take❑ into the basin yesterday to receive new boilers. PROMOTIONS IN HONOUR OF THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. As a matter of course, a brevet promotion will speedily take place in honour of the Queen's visit to Ireland, in addition to the annual promotions which are due to the officers of the royal yacht, Victoria and Albert. Re port has already assigned promotions to between sixty and seventy officers of the army, and if this should turn out to be true, assuredly the promotion of officers of the navy will be equally liberal, seeing that the navy had most of the active service on the auspicious occasion. We have heard that three commanders will be made captains, six lieutenants to be commanders, and one or two mates to be lieutenants; but this is rumour only. We trust, in common fairness, that every class of officers will share in the honours about to be conferred on the navy and army. Commar.der Harris, of the flag. ship, Ganges, 84, at Cork, will doubtless be one of the first considered. This officer is well known as a first-rate seaman; he commanded the Flying Fish, :2, in the experimental cruise, and afterwards on the coast of Africa, for which :trvice he fairly earned his advancement. Then tl.ere are twu or three lieutenants, first lieutenants of the Ganges and Hogue, and lieutenants in command. The mates in the royal squadron are few, but at the head of the list for promotion is Mr. Burton, gunnery mate of the Ganges. Between the army and navy, also, are the marines, per mare per terram, and we are quite sure the opportunity will be taken advantage of to do honour to this gallant corps by the promotion of the seni, r officer, who, we b-lieve, is Captain Johns, of the Ganges—an officer of ability end popularity, and who, it we remember rightly, commanded the guard of honour turrnd out at Woolwich to receive the Ell:13,1-0r of Russia at Woolwich Dock yard, on his embarkation for his own empire, and who ought in all fairness to have succeeded to his majority on that occasion. It has been reported that Rear-Admiral Manley Hall Dixon, the Commander-in-Chief, will have some dis.inguished honour conferred upon him. Nu man deserves it more, no less so for his own gallant career in the navy, than as an acknowledgement of the late Ad miral Sir Manly Hall Dixon's services to the country. Obis will also afford an opportunity for giving Captain Macdougall, of the Hogue, his decoration of C. 8., which as service goes he earned at China in the recent expe dition with the Vulture, Espiegle, &c., the gallant officer being in command We repeat our hope that as there are tew opportunities now a days for reward and en couragement to deserving officers, full advantage will be taken of her Majesty's visit to Ireland.—Herald.

Payne, deputy coroner for the City, at the Goldsmiths' Arms, Southwark, on the body of an infant, aged two years, alleged to have died of cholera, the fol lowing gross case of cruelty was detailed :—The mother of the infant was a street-walker, and she rented the half of a back kitchen in a house in Rodney -street, and in this miserable place—not large enough to admit a bedstead—she lived with a man with whom she coha bited, and with her infant child. She was constantly out, as was also her companion, and the child used to be left locked in this den without any one to care for it for many hours together. On Saturday, when the mother d was out, a woman residing in the same house entered the room through the window.

The child was also to be placed in a warm bath, which the mother also neglected. The mother used to beat the poor infant iu a shameful mann , r, and often wished it dead. W hen it died on Friday, she said, " Thank God, my hands are free at last." (This wit ness has severely reprimanded by the Coroner for not informing the police of the conduct and expressions of the mother.) Mr. Rendell, a surgeon, proved that the child died ut dtaraces. ; of course, the neglect it had ex perienced would be pr, judicial to it, but the noxious in fluences of the locality were such that he could not venture to st , ite that the treatment the child had re ceived from its savage mother had caused death. The Coroner having adverted to these facts and to the opinion given by Mr. Hendell, the jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death." The commercial public will regret to learn that Christopher Leyland, Esq., banker, of Liverpool, died at yesterday his residence in that town morning.
