The annual general meeting of the subscribers of this society, which was established thirty years ago fir the permanent relief of aged and decayed artizans an I others, and their widows, &c., was held this day ; ELobert Obbard, Esq., in the chair. The Secretary, Mr. GEORGE HENCE, read the report, which detailed the results of the management during the past year. Two elections have taken place, at which eight new pesioners have been added to the list. There are now 58 aged persons receiving relief from this charity. Three pensioners died in December last year, since which no death had taken place. No less than 13 died in the year preceding, anei nine the year before that. During the present fe arful and wide-spread mortality, not one of the pensioners, most of whom are between 70 and 99 years of age, has been swept away by death. The men are receiving 275. and the women 18s. per month, and the directors have not felt justified in recommend ing any increase. In consequence of the festival in April last a large accession had been made to the fundts of the charity. A great number of the annual subscribers have doubled their subscriptions. Not w;.thstanding deaths and other casualties amongst the subscribers an increase of 601. has been made in the annual subscriptions this year. The net proceeds of the festival, after deducting all expenses, amounted to upwards of 5001. in donations alone. A legacy of 200/ has been received, and the former secretary has repaid to the charity the whole of the balance due from him. During the year nearly 8001. has been paid to pensioners. Stock to The amount of 435/. 18s. 7d. has been added to the society's funded property, which now amounts to 7,3061. 3s. The total working expenses, including printing, stationery,' advertisements, rent, salaries, and miscellaneous have been 299/. 6s. Bd., leaving a balance in the Bank of England of 454/. Bs. ld. The report and accounts having been approved and adopted, the necessary officers for the ensuing year were eleete.l. New trustees of the life fund were then appointed, in consequence of the death of several of the old trustees, and it was directed that the whole stock should be consolidated, and transferred into their names.

The Gazette de Hopitaux announces the still fur ther decrease of the cholera even beyond what had been anticipated. On Thursday and Friday the number of cases in the civil hospitals were only 16 from the former, and 17 the latter ; while the deaths on Thursday were 13, and on Friday only 7. In private houses the deaths were, on Wednesday 21, and on Thursday 18. The Municipal Council of Narbonne having been dissolved by a decree of the President of the Republic, a new election took place on Sunday and Monday, when, after a warm contest, the Socialists succeeded in electing their 27 candidates, 25 of whom were members of the late Council. 1! 11 It was rumoured in Vienna that the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors had quitted Constantinople. ITALY. The Osservatore Romano, of the 10th, states that many members of the late Assembly have left Rome. A large assembly cf the people was remarked outside the Porta Pia on the 9th, notwithstanding the decree which prohibits such meetings.—As the master of the band of the 25th Regiment of the French army was returning from Frascati to Rome, several shots were fired at him simultaneously, but without effect. The police were in search of the perpetrators. The following Bill has been presented by ,the Minister of War to the Chambers of Turin : " Art. 1. The Government is authorised to deliver horses belonging to the army, to private individuals of the state under their responsibility, after au estimate of their mercantile value and of their probable life, for no more than eight year=. Art. 2. The private individuals who shall have received such horses shall incur the obligation of keeping and restoring them at the first notice, or in lieu of them others of equal capacity for service, during the time respectively fixed by Art. 1, after which they shall he free from every responsibility. Art. 3. If during the said time the nation were to place itself on a war-footing, Government shall have the right of using the said horses during the war. Mores in a state of gestation shall be exempted from the service. Art. 4. The Minister of War and Marine shall take the proper measures in concert with the administration of the 1)o -main for the execution of the present law." According to the Concordia of Turin. the Austrian army in Italy is now distributed as follows :-Ist Corps, under the command of General Wratislaw, occupying the provinces of Milan, Lodi, and Cremona. 2d Corps, under General d'Aspre, occupying Central Italy, south of the Po. 3d Corps, under Lieutenant- Marshal Appel, occupying Brescia, Bergamo, and Sondrio. 4th Corps, under Lieutenant-Marshal Thum, occupying Como and the frontier of Switzer land. The Ist reserve corps, under Lieutenant-Mar shal Woger, occupies the Venetian provinces. The garrison of Venice is 8,000 strong, under General Gorzkowski. The garrison of Bologna is commanded by Lieutenant-Marshal Wimpffen. The Milan Gazette of the 17th states that a great parade was held there on the preceding day, to cele brate the end of the revolution in Italy and Hungary. In the absence of Field-Marshal Radetzky, General Wratislaw assisted in his name. A letter from Leghorn in the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 17th states that the military Gover nor has threatened judgment by martial law aga inst all persons who are found with packing-needles about them, in consequence of wounds having been lately inflicted with such instruments. By a decree dated Pavullo, 10th inst., the Duke of Modena has reduced certain taxes as follows :-1. The increase of one fifth upon the direct tax, imposed by the edict of the 22d of January last, is remitted for the two last rates to be paid ; 2. Two of the four rates to be paid as a forced loan by rich landholders, merchants, and capitalists are suspended ; 3. The de duction from salaries and pensions ordered by the decree of January 22 is to cease from the end of Sep tember ; 4.

Two years ago he attended the meeting of the British Association at Oxford, looked like the pictures of his uncle, talked a great deal, and read a paper on a new genus and three new species of bats. His likeness to Buena parte was unctuous, hairy, and large. His talk was of peace and the blessed agency of science in allaying party heats and international jealousies. People were charmed to hear a Bonaparte talking in this manner, and naturally thought what a happy thing it would have been for mankind if Napoleon had taken to stuffing birds instead] of slaying men. We do not think that the Prince was quite true to these amiable professions when he helped to intro duce into Rome a band of adventurers collected from all parts of Europe—when he drove out its lawful Sovereign—when he undermined, or threatened to undermine, the Vatican, and to destroy all the monu ments of Rome, whether Pagan or Christian, sooner than admit that Sovereign's allies. This might be heroic, but it was neither pacific nor scientific ; and instead of allowing the Prince to proceed on his ornithological course the Association might well have asked him a few questions about the clean and un clean varieties of the human species, the vampires and the vultures he helped to collect into that Noah's ark the "pseudo-Republic" of Rome.

I tested it against guano and bone dust. The result was quite equal to the guano, and beat the bone dust hollow. My farm is one part clay and another sand; I found the same result on both. I have also the manage ment of a farm at Hampstead, a poor thin soil, and there the manure was equally beneficial. I have continued to use it ever since with the same results. To carry out any plan convenient farm buildings are necessary. I have a large dry shed, in which, first of all, I put a layer of dry coal ashes, about a foot thick and four feet wide, to which the deposit of the pigs is taken both liquid and solid, and a 3 soon as it begins to ooze out I put on more ashes, and so on till it gets to about four feet in thickness. I then begin a fresh layer, and treat it in the same man ner. After lying some time it is turned two . or three times, and then it i s fit f ur d r illi ng . I have put in this year 45 acres of turnips with nothing but this manure, and the result is now open for the inspection of any who may choose to see it. I found the droppings of three pigs, carefully preserved, to be ample for two acres, and quite equal to three sacks of bone dust per acre. lam not speaking theoretically, but from actually experience; and I consider that if we can get such valuable manure for nothing but the labour, it is much better than to put our hands in our pockets and paying 28s. or 30s. per acre for artificial manures." The plan suggested from practical experience of preparing a drill manure for turnips, by an admixture of ashes and pig manure, I believe might be extended to a very large number of farming districts with decided advantage. In the case of the ashes, they should be always prepared with as large a portion of charcoal in them as possible. Those from coals are, it is true, peculiarly useful for many soils, from containing a portion of sulphate of lime in them as well as charcoal; but these are not com monly obtainable to any large extent; but then the farmer has very often the means of clearing vegetable substances, but let him ever remember not to burn, but to merely char these matters.—Somerset County Gazette.

On Saturday Charles Thomas, a well-dressed young man, who has several aliases, was charged before Alderman Farebrother with fraudulently ob taining fancy silk goods to the amount of 407. 17s. 11d., from Mr. Heilaby, of No. 7, Huggin lane, stock, brace, and belt manufacturer. Mr. Walker, from the office of Messrs. Mardon and Prichard, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the City of London Trades' Protection Society ; and Mr. Beard. from Mr. Buchanan's office, defended the prisoner. Mr. Walker said, the prisoner had obtained goods from various tradesmen in the names of James Thomas, Thomas Brandon, Thomas Hogg, &c., but, as the prisoner had only been apprehended that morning, he would at present only produce enough evidence to justify a remand, as there had not been sufficient tune to get all the witnesses necessary to go fully into the inquiry. Mr. Farrar, traveller to Mr. Hellaby, stated-that he called at the prisoner's house, No. 20, Clarence-street, Greenwich, and solicited an order, when he gave him a reference to Mr. James Bickham, of No. 6, Noel street, Duncan-terrace, City-road, whom he stated to be a gentleman keeping his gig and servant, and in good circumstances. Witness went to that address, and saw Mr. Bickham, who said Mr. Thomas was a highly respectable man, and in confirmation of that fact gave witness the document produced : " 6, Noel. street, Duncan. terrace. " Sir,—l know Mr. Thomas is a respectable man, and you are quite safe in any transaction you may have with him.—Yours, &c. " T. BICKHAM." Witness called about six weeks since at No. 6, Noel street, and found the house empty, and was informed that Mr. Bickham had absconded, after swindling most of the tradesmen of the neighbourhood. Wit ness saw the prisoner carrying on business in Cla rence-street and Nelson street, Greenwich, up to Wednesday last, since which time he had taken away the whole of the property, but where to had not yet been found. The prisoner was apprehended that morning at No. 4, Ebenezer-row, Bermondsey, at a private house, where there was little or no furniture, and about half-a-dozen bonnets, but none of the goods Mr. Hellaby had supplied were there. Mr. Thirtell, from the firm of Messrs. Vyse and Sons, merchants and straw hat manufacturers, Crip plega te-buildings, st a t e d th a t t h e pr i soner had obtained a quantity of goods from his employers in the name of Thomas Hogg, and he gave as a reference a Mr. Wills, of Maze-pond. On calling there, the house and f urn it ure appeared to be respectable, and there was an old brass plate on the door, and the reference was cons id ered good. As, however, the money was not forth com i ng, a call was made a day or two afterwards at Mr. Wills's house, when it was found that the bird had flown, but not before favour ing some of the tradespeople with orders. The prisoner was then remanded until Tuesday next, and bail for his appearance was refused. It was mentioned in court, that the Mr. Bickham who was referred to was no other than Collett, alias Boodle, alias Downing, who was one of the references of Beale, committed for trial a short time since for attempting to obtain 1001. from " Wilson's Charity.' Mr. Bickham, with his aliases and his wife, have, however, since died of cholera. MAR YLEBONE. Ifarriett Smith, a girl 19 years of age, and whose pallid countenance and tremulous limbs indicated that she was in a very weak condition, was brought before Mr. Long, charged with having made a most deter mined attempt to terminate her existence by drowning. Bunday, 247 S, deposed that at ten o'clock on the previous night he heard a piercing shriek ; he re paired to the spot whence it proceeded, and in a pond in a piece of waste ground, called St. John's-wood Park, he saw a foot at the surface of the water, the depth of which was no more than three feet. He succeeded in dragging out the prisoner, who at the time was insensible, and to all appearance almost life less, and with assistance he conveyed her to the sta tion-house. A surgeon who Lad been sent for speedily arrived, and through means resorted to by him she was at length restored to a state of consciousness, and in reply to questions put to her she said that she was living in the service of a family at No. 17, Ordnance road, St. John's wood, and that on account of her friends she had meditated self-destruction for the last two months. _ _ I In reply to the Magistrate, the prisoner, sobbing, said,—"l have been keeping company with a soldier belonging to the Foot Guards ; it is against the wish of my friends, but I cannot forbid him." The mother here stepped forward and admitted that she did not approve of the connexion of her daughter with the soldier, considering that it would be better for her not to think of marriage for a year or two longer, and that she ought to look out for some one in, a better sphere of life. She was remanded to Saturday. Mr. BROUGUTON requested our reporter to give publicity to the following letter received by him : " Sir,—Being of opinion that the example of Mr. Charles Elliott in transmitting something at this season for the relief of the poor should not be lost upon others, I beg to enclose a cheque for 51, which I request you to apply as you think fit. "I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, " C. E. WALKER." CLERKENWEL L. A man named Kent was on Saturday brought be fore Mr. Combo on a warrant, charged with having assaulted Miss Elizabeth Langley, a delicate-looking young lady, and also with threatening to do her some bodily injury. Mr. Wakeling, solicitor, said that the parties were Mr. INGUAM—It is a very awful thing, but, as re gards the latter part of your application, I am afraid 1 have no power to interfere ; as respects th e f ormer , I shall give instructions to the inspectors of police, who will do all in their power to assist in carrying out every sanitary regulation ; in the meantime I shall give the whole subject the fullest consideration, and aid you as far as I can in carrying out your humane object. Dr. Allison then thanked his Worship, saying his object was to ascertain haw far the civil power could aid in promoting the measures suggested by the Board of Health. LAMBETH. On Saturday Samuel Low, a well-dressed and re spectable. looking Iran, was charged with being con cerned, with a person named Shea, in stealing an Irish bank post bill for 501. It appeared that the bill was changed at the bullion-office of Messrs. Spelman, Adam, and Co., in the City, by a person who gave the name of John Thomas, and represented himself as the landlord of the Windsor, Castle public-house, Kent-road. The note was forwarded on the same day by Messrs. Spelman to their correspondent in Dublin, and was returned with the words " Stopped—stolen," stamped on it; and in the letter of Mr. Spelman's correspondent it was stated to be one of a vast number of notes stolen from different perscns on the occasion of the Queen's visit to Ireland. A constable was imme diately dispatched to find the person who presented the bill, who turned out to be a Mr. John Shea. The con stable called at his house and saw his wife. Mr. Shea was not at home, and the defendant Low went out of Mr. Shea's house while the constable was there, and went to his own house, which was in the same street. The constable then called upon the defendant, who seemed surprised at what was stated, and promised to give Shea into custody if he met with him. The constable then returned to Shea's house, and while there the defendant said he had received a letter from Shea, who had sent the 501. for the bill, which he had taken from a third party. In Shea's house was found a bag ready packed with his linen and other things, toge ther with two coats, one of which had been worn by Shea when he changed the note, and from the pocket was taken a bunch of skeleton keys. It was submitted that no case had been made out against the defendant, and that there was no proof of the note having been stolen. All the defendant had done was to try and keep Shea's family out of trouble. Mr. ELLIOTT, the magistrate, observed that the defendant's conduct in the transaction was such as to lead to the inference that he was an accessory after the fact, and remanded him to a future day. He was afterwards admitted to bail. SOUTHWARK. On Saturday William Medrich, a cabman, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with committing a violent assault on Thomas Webb, and robbing him him of 145., in the public streets. The prosecutor, an elderly man, said that on Friday night he went into the Falstaff public-house, Kent street, and partook of a little cold brandy and water. While standing in one of the side boxes the prisoner came in and forced his conversation upon him. lie told him he wanted to have nothing to say to him, and requested him to leave; but he still persisted in talking, and seized hold of his glass and emptied it of the contents. Peeling much annoyed at such conduct be quitted the house and proceeded towards home, but when he arrived at the turning near the Bricklayers' Arms he heard some p er son coming behind him, and on lookin g round he perceived the prisoner. Just as witness was ab ou t t o p u t his foot on the kerbstone the pris oner k nocked hi m d own into a heap of mud and rifl e d hi s pockets. li e , h owe ver, kept hold of hi s collar a n d ca l led out " Stop thief," when a policeman came up and t oo k hi m i n to custody. Another man was with him at the time, but escaped before the policeman _ came up. In cross-examination, com plainant said that he was certain the prisoner was the person who attacked him, as he saw him distinctly at the public-house, and perceived him afterwards fol lowing him. He had 14s. about him, which before leaving the public-house he placed in his waistcoat pocket. _ Police -constable 109 M said that while on duty at the end of Kent -street, at an early hour that morning, he heard cries of " Stop thief," proceed from near the Bricklayers' Arms. He ran to the spot and saw the prosecutor in the mud struggling with the prisoner. He then told witness to secure him, as he had robbed him. There was another man near the place, but he ran away. In defence the prisoner said that he certainly saw the prosecutor in the Falstaff public• house, but he did not leave until some time after the prosecutor, and, passing the Bricklayers' Arms, he saw him lying in the mud, and two cabmen running away. He then called out that he had been robbed, and on a police. man coining up he gave him into custody. Mr. SECKER asked whether the money was found on the prisoner ? The:constable replied in the negative, but there could not be much doubt that some of his companions had assisted in the robbery, and escaped with the money. Mr. SECKE E said he should remand him until Wed nesday next to give the constable an opportunity of apprehending the others. M0 . N_DAY...,...., : ! . Vit . 14 .. 11 . - s li .

Neither Miss Langley nor her relatives had any vindictive feeling t owar d s M r . K en t , deemedw'lloseaP°legYfor the offence comm i t t e d wou ld b e sufficient. Mr.:ComnE asked the defendant if he was willing to do that suggested by Mr. Wakeliny ? lie hesitated, and said he would not do so unless it was in qualified terms. Mr. \Vakeling declined to have a conditional apo logy, and called on the complainant to give evidence. She said that a few evenings ago she was on a 'visit to two ladies, to one of whom the defendant was paying his addresses. The conversation had reference to the atrocious murder alleged to have been committed by Manning and his wife, and on witness expressing her abhorrence of the dreadful deed, and saying there existed no moral doubt in her mind of the guilt of the prisoners, the dOendant became very much ex cited, observing that he was acquainted with Manning and his family, and he was satisfied of his innocence. The witness reiterated her opinion, whereupon he seized Ler with considerable violence, and struck her, at the same time threatening to serve her out on an other occasion. Mr. Comm: asked hEr if she went in any fear of the defendant ?—She said she did. Other evidence having been given, the Magistrate asked the de —He ti saidf he e that w Missecl t L o a m n g ql l i e e y a m ny rd r e e ply e to the of o charge bservation: in which she was not justified, and he certainly pushed her aside and rebuked her for her uncP.lled-for interference, and he called his "sweet heart" and her sister as his witnesses. They, how ever, did not serve him, and Mr. Combe ordered him to find one security to keep the peace. While being led into the clerk's office to get the required bail he behaved very violently, and threatened one of the complainant's friends. A communication of his con duct was forthwith made to Mr. Combe, who had him brought back, and ordered him to find two re sponsible housekeepers to become answerable for him to keep the peace to all her Majesty's subjects during the next six months, and, in default, he was locked up. THAMES. On Saturday Dr. Allison, of Lemon-street dis trict, medical officer of the Whitechapel Union, appeared before Mr. Ingham, and said that in his capacity as medical officer of the cholera hos pital in Dock-street, Whitechapel, he wished to know if it was in his Worship's power to interfere with a nuisance, the removal of which from such a site was of the utmost importance to persons in an ad vanced stage of cholera. Entire quietude was indis pensably requisite, but unfortunately at the present juncture a sort of continuous fair was held in the neighbourhood, noisy crowds assembled, the cries of persons proclaiming various articles with sound of drum and trumpet issued from every direction, and it was impossible tor the person having medical superinten dence to answer for the issue of his treatment under such circumstances. Mr. INGHAM said there could be no doubt that patients labouring under such a disease must be seriously injured by being in such a vicinity, and wished to know why such a spot was selected for an hospital. Dr. Allison replied that it was the most eligible place in the neighbourhood for such an institution, provided those noisy affairs could by any of the provisions of the Police Act be removed to a greater distance. Mr. INGriAM said, he would be inclined to do all in his power to procure that quiet for cholera patients which he knew was so indispensable under the treat ment they re qu i re d, b u t h e f ea red that it was not within his province. He would, however, give the subject his fullest consideration, and afford all the assistance he possibly could. Dr. Allison proceeded to state that there was an other subject to which he would call attention as one of still greater importance in the same neighbour hood. On Saturdays, when the working people have money, deleterious food, consisting of rotten fruit, unwholesome vegetables, and putrid meats were openly sold, all highly productive of cholera. Beef of a most offensive character was disposed of at 2d. per pound, and other meats at a proportionately low price. Mr. INGium, having consulted Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, regretted to say that he had no control over the practice; the only way in which it could be met was by indictment. Dr. Allison—But can you do nothing, Sir ? It is frightful to think that what mortality may ensue from these two causes—creatures in the last stage of collapse disturbed in the very crisis which may de termine their fate, and others, in buoyant health, per chasing in the same vicinity the cheap poison, to which, under the appearance of food, they were about to be come victims. MEMORANDA OF A MUSICIAN. BY GEORGE J. 0. ALLMANN. " Notes, notes, forsooth, and noting !" Sim IiSkELE. No. XVIII. MUSIC IN OLD TIMES. The following singular advertisement of a concert in the year 1697 shows how greatly the march of music has progressed since that time, though it is universally allowed that the advance of music in England has, till lately, been unusually slow:—" Monday ntxt, the 28th instant, will be performed, in York-buildings, a new Concert of Musick by the Chiefest Masters in England, when Signor Ramponi, an Italian musician, belonging to the Prince of Vaudemont, at the request of several Persons of Quality, will for once sing in the same in Italian and french.—Half a guinea entrance."—(From the London Gazette, No. 3377.) ZINGARELLI. , . Paris, one of the greatest cities of the world, be was an ieelated icing, as it were, aed he longed to return to his own sunny clime. Meny were the yearnings of his hear t to be once more in the midst of his pupils end friends at Rome, performing his accustomed and homely round of duties. "And oh!" thus our poor composer exclaimed," how gladly would I resign all the honours, all the triumphs, that are heaped upon me in Paris for my old seat in the organ-loft of St. Peter's, or my desk in the Vatican!" and though he mentally determined as firmly as ever that his 7'e Deem should not be given for the pretended King of Rome, he nevertheless commenced writing a Magnificat and other works of a similar nature, motets, &c., which he thought were likely to be required by the Emperor. These labours, therefore, occupied him more than a month, and during this time, having had no requisition from the Court for more of his compositions, he ventured to communicate to the Cardinal's secretary that his situation of :Maestro di Capella at St. Peter's required—though the Emperor seemed hardly aware of it—his presence in Rome, end petitioned that he might be allowed to return there immediately. Our composer's heart was longing more than ever for the bright skies of hie own land ; he burned more than ever to grasp the "old familiar hands" once more ; to see the " well remembered faces" again. "To-morrow," came the re ply, " the day after, or even to-day, if M. Zingarelli pleases; he is quite at liberty to depart whenever it suits him; his stay in Paris is an honour and pleasure to us all; but the Emperor is by no means desirous that he should rug'ect his other duties or forget his other interests." This therefore was the result of a journey which, to say the lea- t of it, had been commenced under the most in auspicious circumstances, and which showed that in this instance all the ambition of the conqueror, and the he ro had not stifled the softer feelings of the man; fur, as the poet sings— " The true laurel-wreath that Glory weaves Is of the tree no bolt of thunder cleaves." NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Wednesday next has been ordained by the Bishop of this diocese as a day of humiliation and prayer, on which occasion all business will be suspended, and the dockyard and other public establishments closed. The Bishop will preach at St. Thomas's in the forenoon. Captain Aaron Tozer (1830) is appointed to Green wich Hospital, vice Branch, deceased. The following appointments were made yesterday to the Wolverine, 16, at Chatham :—H. Christian, lieutenant; T. Wallis, master; 11. W. Bowlstone, paymaster and purser; B. D. White, clerk; James IValsh, M.D., surgeon ; J. L. Hamilton, assistant surgeon; J. J. Down, master's assistant; John Reid, acting boatswain; and James Redding, car penter. The good service pension of 1501. per annum, re verting to the gift of the First Lord by the promotion of Captain Sir J. J. G. Bremer, K.O 8., to be Rear- Admiral, is reported to be conferred upon Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., of the Raleigh, 50, on on her way home. A yacht race was run yesterday for 1001. a-side off ti.is port between the cutters Drift, 55 tons, the property of Mr. W. C. Hope, and the Tartar, 36 tons, the property of Mr. Danes, which prcduced a very spirited contest, but which ended prematurely, owing to an accident to one of the crew of the Tartar, ho fell from aloft to the deck, a distance of about 30 feet, and sustained such severe injuries that his life is despaired of. He lies in a precarious state at the Isle of Wight Tavern Point, receiving the kindest attention of the host and hostess, and the most assi duous attention of Mr. Piercy, surgeon. The course was the " Queen's" from Cowes, round the linab light-vessel off St. Helen's, and back to the westward round a boat moored off Yarmouth. It was on the homeward course the accident happened, which, it is expected, will cause the match to be contested again. Wind—E. by S. ; light beezes and changeable weather. PLYMOUTH . , SEPT. 21. Her Majesty's steam block-frigate La Hogue, Captain Maedougal, sailed on Tuesday for Cork. Ihr Majesty's steamer Myrtle arrived from Wool wich yesterday. Her Majesty's brig Scout, Captain Shepherd, will be paid off to day. A formal court of inquiry .has acquitted the officers of all blame at the time that the ship got ashore in one of the rivers in China. Alarm frigate will go out of harbour on Tues day next, the 25:11 inst. The Heela steamer, having taken coal on board, has been placed at her sailing moorings in Hamoaze. Thy Niobe frigate, launched on Tuesday, was placed in dock on Thursday, to be coppered. The Hound brig was also docked yesterday, for repairs. A very romantic incident occurred in the life of this composer during the time he was Maestro di Capella at Milan. Fur a time it obstructed the quiet path Zin garelli, who fulfilled the calm routine of duties of that office without a shadow of care falling ever his heart, and indeed at the time threatened to be of more serious consequence to him in his future. career. It tends to show, moreover, how the nobility of Nature's genius overcomes and throws into the shade the nobility of rank, with all its adventitious lustre. The FATE that swayed the destinies of France—nay, of almost all Europe—at that period wes Napoleon Buonapa.rte, who, though the Conqueror of Natiens, was the patron and friend of many obscure musicians. I may premise that Zingarelli, next to Pasiello, was Napoleon's favourite composer, for though the genius of the future celebrated musician Cherubini was at that time both recognised and en couraged—but not with sincerity—by the Emperor, yet his inclination and taste, not to speak of other motives, turned more readily to the simpler beauties of Zingarelli, which appealed more effectually to the feelings of him who, though not a scientific musician, might have been one had his star shone in a different hemisphere. In the year 1811, therefore, on account of the birth of a son to the Emperor, a grand and solemn Te Doing was com manded to be performed in every church throughout France and the Papal States. Orders to that effect were accordingly dispatched from the Tuileries to all the provinces, and the same command reached in its course the " Holy City" itself. Never were there such extensive preparations made for celebrating any event before as there were now in the " City of the Caesars." So gor geous were they that it seemed as if all the riches, all the glory of' the earth were concentrated in that one spot. Never before did fl .Popolo exhibit such excitement. St. Peter's was arrayed with the most costly magnificence— cardinals, priests, every sacerdotal functionary wore their robes of office, and it appeared almost like a solemn re ligious festival. In the high altar the sacred candles were kept constantly burning, while the acolytes cease lessly swung their censers, from which ascended the incense in fragrant clouds. Amid the throngs that crowded the streets, on the morning to which I allude, even at so early a period as the first grey eastern streak, might be observed one, who, from nis abstracted manner and hesitating step seemed as if borne down by some oppressive thought; and so deeply was he engrossed by some painful train of reflection—to judge from the rapidly changing expresions that appeared to pass over his strongly marked and mobile countenance--that all wonder at his uncertain step ceased, which raised a feel ing of curiosity rather than of surprise. He possessed a fine and commanding figure, and though the pressure of Time's unsparing hand had bent his stature in some degree (for a slight stoop was perceptible), yet his tread was firm and elastic, and although he might have been of some fifty years of age or more, he looked many years younger. Anxious to avoid the crowd which was every moment becoming greater, he at last gained an unfrequented part of the city, where he soon became lost to view. Every one whom he passed was hastening to one point. No one recognizsd him—no one for a moment imagined that the solitary form which they beheld retreating from all that they ardently longed to itness; that the face shrouded beneath the hood of his gown as if to shun all observation was that of one who knew not, cared not where his footsteps led him, so that they bore him from the very place they wore so anxious to reach; that the shrinking figure they saw was that of their Composer Zingarelli—their Maestro di Capella— was that of him tsho was to be (or ought to have been) the leading spirit iu the rites about to be celebrated. Little dreamed they of the dire confusion and dismay the absence of that one individual would create. It seemed, truth to say, as if all Rome was congregated in one spot—and that the most magnificent temple in the whole world—in order to impart the most stupendous effect to this royal festival. The ceremony soon begun, but when it arrived to the point when the very " soul" of the performance should have proceeded all was silent— the deep-toned organ was mute, its solemn reverberations were unheard. The curtain of the choir was withdrawb, but the seats were unoccupied—the choir was vacant. And where was he beneath whose fiogers, and at whose sign, should have bu rs t f ort h t h e grand and startling chords of the Te Deum? Where were they %t hose voices should have given utterance to the hymn of praise? --Invisible. All was consternation, and the abrupt stoppage was hailed as the worst omen by the populace, which seemed to vie with its forefathers in yielding to the grossest superstition —on eager search being made the Maestro's place was also found tenantless. Where was he? All Rome was present, and then the recollec tion of the Fugitive flushed across the minds of many, and messengers were quickly dispatched on his track, who after some time returned with the composer. In reply to the questions put to him by the superiors, Zin garelli intrepidly replied, " I do not acknowledge Napo leon for my king. I know of no Infant King of Rome, and I will never join in praising or thanking heaven for that I cannot view as a gift or a blessing." All threats, all entreaties were equally fruitless, Zingarel.i was firm and inflexible. " The key of the organ-loft is where none but myself can discover it," continued our com poser, " the music I have removed, the choristers I have forbidden to enter the choir, and I would sooner lose this hand than that it should reise the baton. No! never will I conduct such a sacrilegious ceremony—not one note of my Te Deem shall be heard in honour of his pretended King of Rome." The conclusion of the service was quickly hurried over, but the organ gave forth no sound, the choristers were not present, and great was the ex citement caused - in Rome at the daring of Zingarelli. When Buonaparte (with whom the 7'e Deem of our Master was an especial favourite, indeed he had fre quently commanded ifs performance) was informed of this, he immediately dispatched a secret emissary with an order to the Prefetto of Rome to arrest " Il Maestro Nicolo Zingarelli," and cause him to be passed over, from brigade to brigade, to Paris. Accordingly, the poor maestro was summoned before the prefect and in formed of this command. The former, however, ve hemently declared that he felt no regrets—no fear, and would never sue for pardon, and that in Paris he would, even to the Emperor himself, refuse to perform, or afford the slightest assistance towards the performance of his Te Deem for celebrating such au event. The prefect, who knew the high- souled honour, the simplicity, and true- heartedness of Zingarelli, in order to spare him the degradation and annoyance of being escorted by the gensdarmerie, and guarded as a prisoner, took his word of faith that he a ould immediately set out for his destie nation. In due time, therefore, our composer arrived in Paris, with the same exactitude as that with which Regulus returned with his fetters to Carthage. On his arrival he took up his abode in the Boulevard des Italiens (the then popular resort of his countrymen in Paris), No. 7, in the very house iu which Gretry afterwards lived, and caused immediate notice of his arrival to be signified to the Emperor. A week elapsed, and as yet he had received no communication from the Court. On the eighth day, however, a messenger from Cardinal Fesch arrived, who loaded him with civilities, expressed his hopes that the forced and rapid journey to the French capital had not injured the health of our musician, lauded his talents to the skies, and spoke of the intense admiration with which his works were viewed by his countrymen, and by the Emperor himself. All this was calculated to soothe the irritated feelings of our composer, and before he.could stammer forth an incoherent reply, conceive his astonishment at being presented with a purse containing a hundred crowns, " A gift," said the messenger, "from his Majesty the Emperor to defray your expenses on thus honouring him with a visit." The poor Maestro could not utter a word. He was spell. bound, and in this favourable moment the messenger hastened to take his departure, rejoicing at the happy issue of his mission. No tidings from the Tuileries during a long two months reached the poor lonely mu sician. " Ha," thought he, "il tempo si riconcia." After the lapse of this time, and when he had almost resolved to leave Paris and journey back to Italy secretly, he received a command to compose a grand Misaa Solennis for the Chapelle Royale. This was signified to him on the Ist of June, and on the 12th he was expected to have everything in readiness, as its performance wa s t o t a k e place on that day. " A mass," said the bewildered mu sician to himself musingly, " a mass ! well, never mind, a mass, or even a Dominic Salvum fac, or a Grotias Agimus tibi, but by the sword of St. Paul, by the keys of St. Peter, or the mule of the Pope —aye! by the Holy Virgin Mary herself, he may have a mass, but he shall never say he beard a c h or d of my Te Deem for his pretended King of tome." The mass was composed and executed in eight days, and loudly did Fame trumpet the success of our composer; manifold were the compli ments and gifts he received on this occasion, besides a present of 5,000 francs from the Emperor himself. After a few days had elapsed five verses of a Stabat Mater were forwarded to Zingarelli, with an in'imation, couched in terms the most pleasing and flattering, that the composer was to set them to music as quickly as possible. " Well!" said the surprised, though not un moved musician, "a Stabat Mater is not a Te Deum; the triumphal rejoicing of the one has not the mournful, the grand solemnity of the other. He may have a Stalest Mater without any great remorse of my conscience, bat before he should have my Te Deem, I would brave exile, imprisonment—death itself ! I will let the Emperor see that some of us Italians are even yet not without firmness of character." The Stabat was accordingly performed at the Palace d'Ely ron the 27th February, 1812, by all the singers of note then in Paris. The air " Vidit strum dulcem Natum," sung by Crescentini, and accompanied by the Maestro on the organ, was repeated by a sign from Napoleon. Not a sound was heard, there was no outbreaking of applause, but the whole auditory wept in silence—a silence more aff ect i ng than loud -tongue d praise—the silence of a multitude of hearts subdued and conquered into awe and admiration by the might of one. Not a dry eye was to be seen. Of a truth it seemed as if one and all felt and recognized, in the sublime and mournful beauty of the composition, the great genius of its author. From this time nothing indeed could have been greater than was the success of Zingarelli ; his name was echoed from mouth to mouth, till ill Paris rang with it. The most inordinate desire could scarcely wish for more, but, amid it all, he—th " admired of all admirers"—felt AS if he were alone. In the heart of Wind—B, strong breeze. Woomvicu, SLPT. 23.—The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, is ordered to be paid off on Wed nesday next, and the crew commenced sending her stores on shore yesterday. The Bee lighter was en gaged in assisting to take the stores on shore ; while so employed she sank in the third watch, with a great quantity of stores on board, and men have been em ployed to endeavour to raise her, which they expect they will be able to accomplish when the tide rhies to assist them in their efforts. The stores with which the Be went down are not of a perishable nature, being the spare gear of the engines, spars, and ropes. The Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander It:season, arrived at Woolwich on Saturday evening, and will be paid off in the course of the week. One of the workmen belonging to the yard, and attached to the Dockyard Battalion, died during the past week, and his remains were interred this morn ing in the parish churchyard. About thirty of his comrades attended the funeral in their Dockyard Brigade uniform, and the cap of the deceased was carried to the grave over the pall covering the coffin, a proof that the workmen feel a pride in being en rolled to serve her Msjesty in the Dockyard Battalion Y MARKETS. -To•day the grain trade ,Iteration in prices. s. d. s. d.
