The impertinent Batter, and all the petty displays of dress, &c. how -I,4st othe e ,ers did most sadly deduct from the gratification rwise might have been enjoyed at the two Phr!vious Concerts. Look to it, ye men of York re ! or your reputation as genuine lovers of the tierine art may become a little tarnished,--for be it i.illerebered that a Philharmonic Band expects to play tap e less than a Philharmonic audience !

All this we still wish to see, but we would have the gratification of the rich, the gay, and the beautiful, to be mingled with kind and cha ritable regard for those of their fellow-mortals to whom a less happy lot has been assigned ; and with these views, in which NI , C believe that all our readers sympathize, the vast assemblage of delighted faces which clustered round the splendid orchestras of the Yorkshire Festival presented to us a sight that imparted the most unalloyed enjoyment to eur hearts. The happiness with which they beamed was not selfish, grovelling, and confined —no, it was diffusive, generous, charitable. Each emotion of delight, to those who were fortunate enougir to be present, was likewise fraught with blessings to some wearied form or some sad heart; and the very tones that thrilled through the hearts of the enraptured audience, wafted to the dwellings of poverty and to the hospitals of disease the " glad tidings" of relief and of comfort. It is impossible, as it would savour of great ingratitude, did we not include in the tri bute of our humble praise, the unremitting and dis interested exertions of the Sub-conductors, Mr. Philip Knapton, Dr. Camidge, and Mr. Camidge, all of York ; and Mr. Whyte, of Leeds. If the most assiduous and polite attention to the wishes of all connected with this vast assemblage, united to the toilsome and continuous detail necessarily inse parable from all Musical Festivals, (and from this in an especial manner), entitle them to the meed of applause, then it will be great and sincere, as have been their own praiseworthy exertions. Their duties were of no ordinary description, seeing that the head (or we should say nominal head) never was very remarkable for habits of business, what ever pretensions he might be deemed to possess for a practical knowledge of music; but music in the abstract is one thing, business another; and it is seldom the man of genius or musician of eminence unites these envied qualities in his own person. A man of business, therefore, is quite indispensable upon all such occasions ; ►nid, for time time to come, it is to be hoped that private friendship will no longer be permitted to stand between time public and its more complete enjoyment. GRAND REVIEW OF THE ROYAL ARTIL LERV.-A Grand Review of the Royal Regiment of Artil lery took place on Monday on the Common and Hills of Plinnstead, near West Wickham. Lord Ilia., and a brilliant cortege of General and Staff Officers were on the ground at an early hour. Upwards of 10,000 persons were present. Towards the close of the day a .platform broke down on which many persons were standing, several were wounded, but none, we understand, dangerously. A Messenger left the Government offices on Suaday evening, for Ireland, with despatches and instruc tions ferthe Lord Lieutenant ; and we understand that he was also the bearer of a Proclamation, supposed to be on the subject of the "Brunswick" Associations.—Morninp Herald. The young Queen of PORTUGAL is said to be a remarkably well-informed child. She writes a beau tiful hand, speaks Italian and French with the utmost cor rectness, German fluently, and English so as to be perfectly understood. She owes her education to her late amiable and excellent mother, the daughter of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. Since her arrival in England she has written a letter in her own hand to his MaJESTy.—Morning Paper. An affair which is likely to make some noise in the sporting circles has, we understand, been on the tapis for some time, and given rise to a good deal of con versation at the West-end of the Town. The parties en gaged are, a gentleman, a native of the Sister Isle, and a set of sporting characters well known about town. We are furnished with some curious particulars relative to the affair, but shall abstain for the present giving them publicity. The denouement - of this extraordinary misunderstanding between the parties will, when brought to light, open a new scene in the annals of honourable play.-11•Iorning Paper. IRELAND.—lntelligence of a very important nature may shortly be expected from Ireland. A confi dential communication was made by the Irish Government to the Ministry, relative to the proceedings of some of the principal Catholic leaders, and also the alarming state of the country in general. The resolution which the Go vernment is understood to have agreed on, is to order the arrest of some of the agitators, and to send orders to put a stop to the meetings of a character to give apprehension to the Government. At the same time troops are moved from all parts towards the ports opposite the Irish coast, in ease of any disturbance en the promulgation of the measures of Government. The Coldstream regiment of Guards are under orders for Wednesday tn proceed to Manchester, to replace the troops forwarded from thence towards the western coast. -- Morning Papa-. We have reason to believe that the site for " The King's College," the rival of the London Univer sity, is positively fixed upon. It will be on the spot now occupied by Lord LisrowaLL's house and grounds at Knightsbridge, on the western road, fronting Hyde-park, and the grounds (upwards of five acres) extending to wards Brompton. The Committee had repeatedly endea voured to procure a plot of ground in such direction, with out success; and, in despair, got into treaty With the Woods and Forests Commissioners, for a piece of ground in the upper circle of the Regent's park, when the offer of this property of Lord LISTOWELL was made. The progress of that negotiation alone prevented compliance with the offer immediately. —Th e subscriptions, it is cal culated, will amount to 200,000/. On Thursday last the brig Jane, of London, WEDDELL, master, arrived at St. Ives, from Madeira, after a passage of ten days, having on board General VALDEZ, the late Governor of Madeira, his lady, and six children, with their domestics, and about 50 officers and merchants, who fled from the island on its being taken possession of by the expedition fitted out at Lisbon by Don MIGUEL. They state that the priests had formed a plot, in which they had engaged the militia, to declare for MIGUEL as soon as the expedition should appear. The regular force did not exceed 200 men, who were posted in different parts of the island. On the revolt of the militia all was panic and confusion amongst the friends of Don PEDRO .and the Constitution, and they fled on board the British ship of war Alligator for safety. They were repeatedly demanded by the authorities of the Usurper, to whom Cap tain CANNING refused to surrender them. The British officer finally put them on board the Jane, and conveyed them to the distance of ten leagues from Funchal Bay, in which were two Portuguese ships of the line and two frigates, besides corvettes and transports. The General and family, with the other passengers, proceeded:to Fal mouth, where the former remained to meet the young QUEEN, whilst the officers left for Plymouth. —West Briton. The fine new Gothic Church at Margate is now in •so forward a state that it will he tcady for conse cration the latter end of the ensuing month. In conse quence of the elevation of the ground upon which this sacred edifice is erected, the spire will prove an excellent land mark to mariners.

Scarcel y had h e satisfied his hunger when his master also " dro pp ed in." Their meeting was truly fraternal. --Edinburgh Observer. A gentleman from the neighbourhood of Falkirk, travelling lately in Ire land, sto pped at an inn in Belfast. Being anxious to rise early next morning, h e re quested the chambermaid, whose name was JEAN, to rouse . him at half-past six, which the girl promised to do. JEAN, however, did not appear in the morning, and th e gent l e- . man, wh en h e awo k e , found it was eight o'clock. Having dressed, he was proceeding down stairs, when he met JEAN and challenged her for not performing her promise.— " Why," replied JEAN, " Sure, Sir, you might have rung the bell, and I would have come up and awoke you." JOURNEY of the QUEEN of PORTUGAL. EXETER, SEPT. 28.--The Queen of Portugal, who landed with civic and military honours, at Fal l-6nd), at eleven o'clock a. m. on Saturday, pro ceeded in the course of the evening to Truro, where her Majesty and suite slept at Pearce's Hotel, from which place they proceeded on Sunday morninif f or Exeter, where dinner was ordered at six o'clock on that evening at the New London Inn. It was un derstood on Sunday at Exeter, that her Majesty would not, as was at first intended, proceed to Ply mouth for the purpose of receiving the homage of the brave soldiers of her country who lately arrived in that port, but would take the Bath road to Lon don. Her Majesty and suite travel in four of the King's carriages and four, with two post coaches. They will sleep lt the New London Inn at Exeter on Sunday night, and leave for Bath (it is under stood) on the following day, making the journey to town by Wednesday next. The reception which the young Queen has met with since her landing has been most gratifying. From the fineness of the weather at Falmouth on Saturday, the sea was covered with boats, and vessels indeed, of every de scription ; and the young Queen seemed to enjoy the gay spectacle in the highest degree. _ • The 4th corps of Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, quartered at Exeter, were ordered out o►+ Sunday to escort her Majesty into that city. FALMOUTH, SEPT. 27.—11er Majesty Donna Maria, Queen of Portugal, landed this morning at eleven o'clock from the linperatriz frigate, in the state barge belonging to that vessel, under appro priate salutes from the forts and shipping, the latter having their yards manned, and escorted by upwards of 100 boats, decorated with flags, flowers, and ever greens. The weather being remarkably fine, the sight was most imposing and interesting, and her youthful Majesty appeared quite gratified with the warm reception she experienced from the inhabitants of Falmouth and its vicinity. A flight of stairs was erected at the Town Quay, covered with scarlet cloth, by which her Majesty landed, and on ascend., the steps she was received by Lord Clinton and Sir W. Fremantle, Governor Fenwick, the Brazilian and Portuguese Nobility and staff, the Brazilian Consul, &c. by whom she was escorted to the King's private carriage, about 200 yards in front, through a file of honorary police (under the orders and command of Samuel Pcllew, Esq. Collector of the Customs, as High Constable), with rosettes to their breasts, armed with pikes, and preceded by a hundred respect able little girls of her own age (tell years) dressed in white, with garlands round their heads,who strewed the Queen's path with flowers as she moved for ward on the platform erected for the purpose. On entering the carriage, she was driven to the resi dence of Mrs. Elizabeth Fox, at Arwenack, where a Court was formed, with a guard of honour, &c., and soon after the Mayor, Corporation, and respect able inhabitants, in grand procession, with insignia of office, &c., were introduced, when an appropriate address was delivered by the former, congratulatory of her arrival in this country, to which the Queen, young as she is, delivered a viva voce reply, in Por tuguese, which was interpreted afterwards by the Niarquis of Barbacena. The gentlemen were then introduced successively by Lord Clinton, and had the honour of kissing her Majesty's hand. After going through a variety of formal ceremonies, exhi biting herself to the populace, who heartily cheered her, &c., she partook of a handsome dinner, provided by the worthy hostess and her family, and at three p. m. entered the King's open carriage, and departed under another salute for Truro (preceded by a guard of the inhabitants, and followed by about 20 gentle men's carriages), where she sleeps to-night, and to morrow morning proceeds on for the metropolis, through Exeter and Bath. The Queen is undoubt edly a most interesting and agreeable personage, and appears to be 14 or 15 years of age. YORK MUSICAL FESTIVAL. THE SHERIFFS' STATE EQUIPAGES. The carriages built for Mr. Booth and Mr. Cope land are extremely elegant, surpassing, in beauty of design and richness of embellishment, even those of the Ex-hcritTs. Mr. Booth's which, of course, was the only one publicly exhibited on Sunday, is a full-sized chariot, having the body painted a pale yellow. On the panels are exquisitely emblazoned the City Arms, with their supports, crest, &c. On the doors are placed the Arms of the County of Middlesex, and on the side panels the Coopers' Arms, richly wrought, being those of the Company to which Mr. Booth belongs. The body of the car riage is finished by a scroll in unburnished gold, and round this rich silver mountings are placed. The wheels are azure blue, richly gilt; and so are the standards, springs, &c. The lamps are costly, having cut glass vases and burners, surrounded with acorn foliage in dead silver. The hammercloth is of superfine blue cloth, trimmed with white silk fringe, and ornamented with the City Arms, worked in dead silver. The lining of • the chariot is of blue and white watered silk ; and the window-glasses are framed in white velvet. The style of Mr. Copeland's carriage is similar in design to Mr. Booth's : its colour is a deep rich velvet marone, the sides decorated with a scroll, supporting at the extremities the City Arms, and those of the Goldsmiths' Company. On the outer panels are emblazoned the County Arms. The banners of the City, of the Goldsmiths' Company, and the Royal Standard, are also here beautifully depicted ; or► the rails are the family arms. The mountings are highly gilt, having a line of dead gild ing: the hammer-cloth is of white superfine cloth, edged with rich gymp fringe: on the hangers are the arms of Mr. Copeland. The interior of the chariot is lined with white and blue silk. Mr. Booth's livery is very costly : the coat is of lah►e cloth, but so much crowded with silver lace as almost entirely to eclipse the cloth. The trowsers are of white cassimere : the hat trimmed with a profusion of ornaments. The carriage excited much attention. .. We have just - seen an admirable portrait of the Baroness GREY DE Runtvx, engraved in the first style of excellence, from a miniature by Miss KENRICK. It will, we understand, appear in to- morrow's:La Belle Assemblee, and form one of the series of the English female nobility. The amount of duty upon strong beer brewed in - England and Scotland in 1827 was 14,172,2391. The number of quarters of barley :flak upon which duty was paid in the year 1827, England, Scot land, and Ireland, was 3,488,793. The total number of gallons of proof spirits distilled in the United Kingdom during the year ending the sth of January, 1828, was 19,681,426 ; and the amount of duty 4,176,535/. 15s. H. It has been observed, in reference to the trades of the new Sheriffs, that one makes the Liquor and the ether the cups. CowEs, SEPT. 27.—For some time past an unhappy wretch, supposed to have escaped from some lunatic asylum, has frequented the woods adjoining this town, to the great affright and annoyance of our females, and as yet has eluded the vigilance of those employed to take hitu. been rep ea t e dly Shocks of earthquakes having experienced in the neighbourhood of Cowrie and Crieff, during the last summer, the inhabitant s o f S trat h earn are quite au fait in discovering their symptoms. A corre spondent in Cowie tells us that another sh oc k was felt there on Sunday se'mught about half- past e l even at n i ght, which set the doors and windows of the houses, the bottles and crockery upon the dressers , &c. shaking and rattling in a manner which to cars less accu s t ome d to the sound would have been quite terr i fic.—Stirling Journal. A correspondent informs us that a worthy friend of his, Mr. Moos, of Whiteparish, has in his pos session a brace of partridges, which have become so ex tremely tame, that they will fly in and out of his kitchen and take their food from his hand, and may be constantly seen in the orchard running about with a few fowls and an old:turkey. He has also a fawn that follows him about the farm, and will accompany him to any distance like a dog ; and a brood of wild ducks, that will occasionally take a flight some distance round the farm, and at pleasure alight in the pond again.—Humpshire Advertiser.

(From a communication to the Birmingham Journal.) Most of us find some amusement in tracing, on Fancy's tablet, the portrait of a person of whom we have heard much, and particularly after we have read many of the works of an author, but with whom we have had no personal acquaintance. It generally happens, however, that our portrait is not correct, when we compare it with the original— thus it was with myself. I found Dr. Gall (in 1826) to be a man of middle stature, of an outline well proportioned-- he was thin and rather pallid, and possessed a capacious head and chest. The peculiar brilliancy of his penetrating eye left an in delible impression. His countenance was remark able—his features strongly marked, and rather large, yet devoid of coarseness. The general impression that a first glance was calculated to convey would be, that Dr. Gall was a man of originality and depth of mind, possessing much urbanity, with some self esteem .and inflexibility of design. After presenting my letters of introduction to him, at seven o'clock in the morning, he showed me into a room, the walls of which were covered with bird cages, and the floor with dogs, cats, &c. Ob serving that I was surprised at the number of his companions, he observed, " All you Englishmen take me for a bird catcher ; I am sure you feel sur prised that I am not somewhat differently made to any of you, and that I should employ my time talk• ing to birds. Birds, Sir, differ in their dispositious like men, and if they were but of more consequence, the peculiarity of their characters would have been as well delineated. Do you think," said he, turn ing his eyes to two beautiful dogs at his feet, which were endeavouring to gain his attention, " do you think that these little pets possess pride and vanity like man ?" " Yes," I said, " I have remarked their vanity frequently." "We will call both feel ings into action," said he ; he then caressed the whelp, and took it into his arms—" Mark his mo ther's offended pride," said he, as she was walking quietly across the chamber to her mat, " do you think she will come if I call her'" Oh, yes," I answered. " No, not at all." He made the at tempt, but she heeded not the hand she had so earnestly endeavoured to lick but an instant before. " She will not speak to me to-day," said the Doctor. He then described to me the peculiarity of many of his birds, and I was astonished to find that he seemed familiar also with their dispositions (if I may be allowed the word.) "Do you think a man's 'time would be wasted thus in England'.' You are a wealthy and a powerful nation, and as long as the equilibrium exists between the two, so shall you re main, but this never has, nor cannot, exist beyond a certain period. Such is your industry, stimulated by the love of gain, that your whole life is spun out before you are aware the wheel is turning, and so highly do you value commerce, that it stands in the place of self-knowledge, and an acquaintance with nature and her immense laboratory." _ T. was delighted with this conversation, he seemed to me to take a wider view in the contemplation of man than any other person with whom I had ever con versed. During breakfast he frequently fed the little suitors who approached as near us their iron► bars would admit. " You see they all know me," said he, " and will feed from my hand, except this black bird, who must gain his morsel by stealth before he eats it ; we will retire an instant, and in our absence he will take the bread." On our return, we found he had secreted it in a corner of hi► cage. I men tion these, otherwise uninteresting, anecdotes to show how much Dr. Gall had studied the peculiarity of the smaller animals. _ I After our breakfast he showed me his extensive ' collection, which I find is purchased by an English man, and thus ended my first visit to the greatest moral philosopher that Europe has produced; to a man, than whom few were ever more ridiculed, and few ever pursued their bent more determinately de spite its effects ; to a man, who alone effected more change in mental philosophy than perhaps any pre decessor ; to a man, who suffered more persecution, arid yet possessed more philanthropy than most phi losophers. In comparing the characters of two men who, I from their associated labours, are generally spoken of at the same time, we might say of Dr. Gall that he possessed the greater genius, while Dr. Spurzheiro is the most acute reasoner. To the former we are indebted for the discovery of a new doctrine, to the latter for its adaptation to useful purposes. Gall astonished us by the vastness of his scheme of men tal philosophy, Spurzheim by the attractions with which he adorned it. Gall possessed all the genius that commands respect, and Sporzbeim the amia bility of disposition that ever ensures rt.—Birming ham, Sept. 19. 7 CHESTER CA STLE .—Thc Gencral Court -3t h la e r d t i e a f l e e s e s e t o n f b j le o d n i N n the t G a r L a o n c d ic J , u E r , y q. l , to om in the Cas tle, last week, resume d it s s itti ng for the purpose of hearing preferred H o f against Fusileers, f t i t y i • " L eP i d e a t t lYi t e e nr n iea a s t o l t ntelCVariousßegiment charges,tl IiuNTER BLAnt, who commands the Regiment.

GLASGOW AGRICULTURAL MEETING.-- The agricultural meeting, general show of live stock, and exhibition of agricultural implements,• roots and seeds, took place in the Cattle Market of this city, and was nu merously and most respectably attended by the public in general, and by all the Pgriculturisti in the adjoinin g (Its • L trios, and by many from distant parts of the country. EAST INDIES. SUTTEE AT HOWRAH. . The following are the particulars of the suttee which took place yesterday morning at Sulkeah. The 'widow was a young and interesting looking woman, and-at the death of her husband, at his bequest, had become possessed of a fortune of three lacs of rupees. She was a native of Bala sore, of the Tampoli caste. Her husband was a ,respectable man, in the employ of Government, and possessed of considerable landed and other property. From the moment of his death the widow declared her dettrmination to attend him on the funeral pile, a resolution which she has kept h i a manner that seems incredible. During the day she distributed to the poor and to her servants money to the amount of 300 rup ee , • • • besides dispersing all her jewels among her relation s ; and just before mounting her will with perfect compo -5 fro t h , bti tsl f had ‘ stilt;reri She vas e o o e m,; s ited by many people on endea voure d more o r less e e o r a t t l i, iie7 Sllch leercan not 1 objectnot be recalled, i Tier had twined the holy toolsee branch in her hail, and the world and all its concerns were to her as sincerer, o i t d h i e v nought. At an early hour on Saturday a lat:ge crowd had collected ; the greatest order and decorum prevailed throughout the immense multitude, who, though certainly brought there by curiosity, exhibited wondrous little of' that propensity in their faces. " A stupid moment motionless they stood," and might have stood for hours, or until the important matter of cooking, &c. should be despatched ; while the poor miserable object of all this portentous preparation was to be seen seated on a wicker frame placed on the ground by the side of her dead husband, whom she con tinued still, as she had done all day and night, to fan with a bunch of flowers. As the sun rose, the poor infatuated creature became most impatient for the magistrate's des swill, who, on these occasions, always attends to prevent the employment of any constraint, and see justice done. Seven o'clock came, and eight, but no word of the necessary order. With very different feelings, yet vith no less intensity of anxious expectation, did the widow inquire, from time to time, for this important person, than does the Newgate criminal for the arrival of the sheriff. He came—a fine-looking man, with an im mense black beard and bushy eye-brows, which hid from observation the penetrating glance of a pair of very intelligent grey eyes. Carrying in his hand the document which, under legal au thority, permits such things to take their cours and in a manner the most forcible and touching, he now pointed out to the Nvomaa the sin and folly of the course she was about to follow,--ex plamed to her, by reference to their own shas ters, the absurdity (or at least the non-necessitY) of such a proceeding—assured her of protectiL:n if she should still incline to change—and appeal ed to the imploring faces, and the tears of her people around, for a testimony of the truth of his arguments. The woman listened attentively, and replied fully, calmly, and steadily. She treated such motives as wealth, rank, and kindred, with lain, and with much apparent reason appealed to her total indifference to all sublunary things, by the disposal she was about to make of them. She argued for half an hour, apparently with much earnestness ; and, but for the " recollec tions" to which she very fluently gave utterance of previous existences, and previous immolations, the conviction would have fastened upon me that she actually believed her own future destiny, as being perfectly fixed, since in most glowing language and with a smiling countenance, she talked of the glories and the happiness which awaited her in the heaven of heavens, which she was now going to enter trebly purified, as gold three times tried. When told that no compulsion should be em ployed to enforce the observance of her vows, her answer was in disdain, " Upon compulsion! No ! I shall leap into his arms." Accordingly the body was now moved and laid upon the pile, the widow carry ing the feet, which she frequently kissed and placed on her head. She then went down to the river to bathe and returned dressed in a gay and expensive scarlet satin tunic, and wearing a crown of beads. Some momentary pangs heaved her bosom as she saw the frightful reality of her condition before her—her lips for a moment quivered, but arm,nii d I) , afromr parched elIc; a ii lri N as i e cc s iee) s iu : s h e s pe e dily ra lli e d, and with the most perfect composure, and a hand already blistered to the bone to show her courage, and of which not one sinew quivered, she prepared a cake of rice and plantains, which she placed on the mouth of the corpse. She then poured some holy water over his face, walked several times round the pile, underthrowing o ne ar y ' e w t the side. r s i i i l e d e d e r . her countenance the most perfect satisfaction with t n o m t v h b e herself.
