POLICY of SIR ROBERT PEEL. Jo'in Murray, Albemarle-street. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, of smart address and appearance, named Elder Stevenson, was summoned by his sister, Mrs. Rebecca White, a widow, before the Lord Mayor, for having illegally detained four shares in the Diamond Steam-packet Company, which she had intrusted him to sell. Mrs. 'White stated that about the 9th or June last, the defendant called upon her, and said he could sell ten 101. shares which she had is the Company. She gave him the shares accordingly-, and he promised to hand h! r over the proceeds in the ensuing week. Week after week, however, pas'ied, and still no cash was forthcoming. He, however, returned six of the shares to her, as she had the assurance of a friend that he could sell them for her.-: The other four she could not by any means get the defendant to account for; and after receiving from him a variety of frivolous excuses, she was obliged to summon him before his Lordship. occur, relating to the id d c ao.t nt at i t fication of the persona of the suspected parties, and that that they might be, erth the emight auditory,into in Court, erd the public-house at Woodside oppor tunity of pointing them visit of the two strangers of a l t master'sl i i f er sh : the they pinrii gnsehhitpo have principal d %, ein witnessai i i i l gle f l r v ( i , t n h l at This Woodside, being a d n o d n e so, from her recollectionu • a was enabled hnu se. t o d o the circumstance of the Lodge, stated that she is w itness, l whose, name is Ellen thatheon Monday, the sth instant, a barmaid at the Railway Inn, man and woman came to the house about half-past one o'clock on the above l day, and ordered ham and eggs, whi c h she .cooked for them, and afterwards waited upon them, which gave her an opportunity of noticing them. They remained in the house until half-past th ree o'clock , ' but previously to their depar ture the wom an went thraugh the kitchen into the yard, and i n t o th e place where the notes were subse quently found by Mr. Watson. ,That the man was also seen by another servant to flillow soon after, and house at,tl then went away. In reply to Mr. TRAIL the witness further said that it was she who gave the description of the suspected persons, and which appeared •in the hand-bills that were circulated. The witness was here silo •"n a cornelian ear-ring, which the femal e p r i soner we on the former exami nation, and which she appeared so s desirous to conceal when Mr. T ra il d es i re d h er to exhibit her side face t o Mr. Marquis, t o see if he could,. identify her. On that occa s i on s h e on ly h a d on ing in her ear, and instead of turning that particularside she tur ne d the did other, and w h en as k e d why sheso, she exhibited much confusion, but said she had no reason for doing it. Mr. TR AIL as k e d t h e witness Lodge if the ring produced was lik e t h ose w hi c h s h e saw in the woman s ears at Woodside ? The witness replied in the affir mative, a fact which was confirmatory of the accuracy of Bailey's identity. Mr. Marquis handed in a paper with the numbers was of all the notes o f w hi c h h e its ' robbed, amongst which were two of 500/. each. e_ said that none of the notes had been traced, althougheeit every exertion had been used for the purpose the two pro duced, which were found at Woodside,ex ) as above de scribed. Ile accounted for the fact of his have not being . enabled to identify the female prisoner t from its being nearly dark at the time he o 1 arisen and the short time he was in the company va f s th r e °c. per sons who effected it. He added that he recollected Q . well that the woman was tall, like Bailey, and having heard her speak at Preston, the voice exactly resem bled. that of the prisoner. He added that Jovell was not the man in company with the woman atthe • ' time of the robbery. Mr. Clarkson said that the case having t aken a dif ferent turn to that which he was led to anticipate, he should decline putting any questions to the witness Lodge ; that previously to the Magistrate deciding on a committal, or sending down the accused to the place where the offence was committed, he would grant another remand, and that the trial, if such was to be the result,held in a vast deal of expense to a ll p ar ti e s, as the assizes would not com mence until March, a nd that at the Central Criminal Court sessi ons would be on in less than a month. The _MAGISTRATE acceded to the Learned Cann sel's suggestion, and he accordingly remanded the prisoners until that day fortnight, enlarging j • ovell s recognisances to appear on that day to answer the charge. • James Perry, a youth in the employment of Messrs. Richards an d Fryer, • ry dding-manufacturers, car , w adding - manufacturers, ing on business in Norfolk-street, Kennington, was by w ith sett i ng fire to his employers premises, by which property to a considerable amount was de stroyed. Some evidence was given in support of the charge, and the prisoner was remanded. ; THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday George Kerr, a tall athletic Irishman, the carpenter of the ship Liverl"l' of Halifax, Nova Scotia, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, on a charge of beating h i s w ife, Eliza Kerr, in a very savage manner with a poker. A policeman name d Attwood, No. 61 R, stated that he saw the woman sitting o n the steps of a door way, at No. 16, P enn yfi e ld s Poplar, at seven o'clock that morning. Sh e was bleeding profusely from two severe wounds on the head, her arm seemed to he broken, and she was quite exhausted. She stated that she had quarrelled with her husband who ,had been ill-using her all night, and he had beaten' her with . a poker, which he found in a room in the house with stains of blood it, and bent from the upo n lence with w • hich one of the blows was inflicted. Ile found the prisone r a t h ome, and too k him into cus tody, andhe said hi s w if e had ro bb e d him of a'sl. note and provoked him, and he was very sorry he had not killed her. ' I "They did not think there was sufficient evidence to enable them to say how deceased met with his death." An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of George Robertson, aged 22, a carman, who was em ployed by his uncle, tr. Martin, a pork butcher and carman, residing in Aldgate. George Ball, a cab-driver, residing in Shouldham street, Marylebone, stated that on Thursday, the Ist of Sept., about half past seven o'clock in the morning, he was driving down Oxford-street, near the Pan theon, when he heard a loud rattling noise behind him. On looking round he saw a cart laden with timber, and the horse galloping at a furious rate. The deceased was entangled in the harness, and was endeavouring to seize hold of the pummel of the saddle. In the course of his efforts he fell over, and the horse kicked him on his left side. Deceased then turned over on his face, and the near-wheel went over his neck and bark. The horse, a high-spirited animal, was stopped at the corner of Market-street. The deceased, when picked up, was quite insensible, and he was removed on a shutter to the above hospital. Ann Hemmings, a nurse in the hospital, stated that the deceased told her that he was going to Oxford street with a load of deals, and that he was riding on he shafts at the time the horse took fright, as he sup posed, in consequence of the rattling of the dealt. The sudden start of the horse jerked him off. Mr. E. B. Tuson, the house-surgeon proved thit the deceased died of the injuries he had sustained on Tuesday last. • The CORONER commented upon the dangerou, practice of carmen riding upsn the shafts of vehicles entrusted to their care, and expressed his astoni s hme n t that the police suffered them to do so, when there was an Act of Parliament that imposed a penalty for the commission of such offences. It was a common thing to see brewers' draymen riding on shafts, and the not involved ly th i e n irjo iv l e v s ed of th th e e s p af u e b t i y ie of in t tn hei r r nin o e w n i t i peril.liv s practice, but The Jury concurred in the opinion expressed by the Coroner, and a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned.

Mr. Charles Thorp, of Clifford's Inn, stated that he made a demand upon the part of Mrs. White of the defendant by letter, informing him that unless the four Diamond Steam-packet Company shares were returned, an application should be made to the Lord Mayor to compel him to make restitut;on. No answer was re turned, and witness afterwards saw the defendant, who stated that if the case came before the Lord Mayor he would trump up a lien, which would show his Lordship that he could do nothing with it. The LORD MAron—Did he say that he would trump up a lien ?—Witness declarwd that to the best of his belief the words were just as he had stated. Witness then told defendant that without further notice application should be made to the Lord Mayor. Witness added that he was the friend of the late hus- ANTWERP, OSTEND; BRUS SELS, and the RHINE, EVERY SUNDAY, TUESDAY, and FRIDAY, from ST.

The defendant said that his sister told him some time ago that she wished to dispose of the shares, and he said he would sell them for her if he could. Ile had had them four or five months in his possession, and, as she had admitted, he had returned six to her. lle told her also that the four other shares were in the hands of a gentleman who had gone to Ramsgate to sell them. The LORD MAYOR—That was a very unusual mode of proceeding. Who would think of going to Ramsgate to sell shares in a Gravesend Steam Company. The defendant said that such notwithstanding was the case. His sister sent to demand the shares, and he replied that the moment he heard from the gentle man she should be satisfied, and at the same time he was sitting down to write, he received the letter from Mr. Thorp, which he was sure no gentleman would write HAMBURGII MAIL. POSEN, AUG. 30.—According to private letters from Kalisch, changes are about to take place favour able to the inhabitants of the kingdom of Poland. The Emperor, it is said, has issued an ukase, whio directs that in Warsaw, and probably in all Poland, the Polish language shall be again used as the channel of instruction in the schools, and that 12,000 Poli'sh troops shall be organised, commanded by Polish officers (except the Staff officers, who are to be Rtis• sians). It is believed that the Poles will be indebted for this change, if it should take place, to the visit of the King of Prussia to St. Petersburgh. ()SCHATZ, SEPT. 18.—A third part of this town, in which are the largest and finest buildings, as well !as the part inhabited by most of our woollen cloth ma nufacturers, is reduced to ashes, together with the Senate-house, and other public edifices. The number of houses destroyed is 144, , and that of the person:, burnt out may be from 1,500 to 2,000. DRESDEN, AUG. B.—The ravages of the fire which broke out on the 31st of August, in ,the Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland, and which still continues, presented a grand and awful scene, which must make an indelible impression on every feeling heart. On almost the whole way from Winterburg to the Pre bitscher-bischther, where the noblest pine forests, in termixed with the oak and other timber of all kinds, received the traveller in their refreshing shades, where flourishing young plantations bounded the path on each side, all nature seems t a be plunged, into the sleep of death. On the scorched and ash-coloured ground stand thousands of leafless trunks of trees, of all ages and sizes, turned to charcoal from the roots upwards, and stretching out their branches blackened by the flames and the smoke ; in the ravine, formerly concealed from the eye by the thick foliage of the forest, thousands of them stand witnesses of the dreadful conflagration. A letter from Dresden of the Bth of Sept. in the Prussian State Gazette sys—" The fire in the forest on the frontiers of Saxony and Bohemia is said not to be yet extinguished, but to continue its ravages' in the forest of Prince Clevy towards Tetschen." A remarkable circumstance has been observed there, that -the fire continues to burn under ground, wholly destroying the roots, so that the t rees w hi c h appear to be uninjured suddenly fall down.—llanz burgh Papers, Sept. 13. The LORD MAYOR—The letter was a most proper one, and I wish to know whether you will give them up ? Defendant—l have them in my pocket now, but I have a lien on them.

Here the defendant handed in a list of charges for attending his sister at her residenee at Shepherd's Bush about the sale of the shares in the Diamond Steam-packet Company, and other shares, amounting, inclusive of newspapers, to about 21. 10s., and said that he could not think of giving up the documents without payment of the demand. Mrs. White—He charges for coach-hire for his own accommodation, when he came ou t t o li ve upon me, and when I called at his house he made me pay for the bread I ate. I am willing to pay the 7s. 6d. charged for newspapers, biat nothing more. The LORD Mayon—Certainly not more. I wish to know at once whether you will hand over the shares or not ? Defendant—lf your Lordship orders me to give them up I will, but I shall come down upon her for what is due to me. The LORD MAYOR—Hand them over. You may send in your bill to her afterwards. Mrs. White —Certainly he may. The defendant then delivered the shares to his sister, and upon receiving her receipt for them, left the police-room amidst contemptuous laughter. CLERKENWELL. Henry Morgan, a young man, dre3sed ass a la bourer, and apparently about 20 years of age, was placed at the bar at Clerkenwell Police Court, before Mr. Bingham, on a charge of having assaulted and robbed in the streets a number of ladies. Felicita Smith, a widow, residing in Hemming ford-terrace, Islingt on , stated, that as she was walk ing down Amwell-street, opposite Chadwell-street, a little after ten o'clock last night, the prisoner came up to her, and laid his hand upon her bag. He told her she should give it to him. She resisted, and held it very tight. The prisoner then raised his hand, as if he wanted to strike her. She removed out of his way and screamed, upon which several gentlemen came up, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Jane 'Whalsby, a young girl, residing in Doughty street, stated, that about half-past nine o'clock last night, the prisoner came up to her in Chadwell street, and said that he should have her bag, or else that he would murder her. She gave it up, and he walked off with it. Admission, ls. SHEFFIELD PLATE. AISRSHORTON and CO., Silvers m ith s . and Jewellers, 36, LUDGATE-STREET, ST.

Bank THE QUEEN AND THE KIRK. ' 'We give the following extract from the Church and State Gazette of yesterday, without at all adopting the views of the writer, respecting her Majesty's rea sons for not attending Divine worship in a Scotch church. We believe there were other causes, which Dr. Chalmers can explain :-- "The journey of her Majesty through a portion of her Scottish dominions has been at once agreeable and satisfactory. It was intended to be one of free dom from restraint, and hitherto it has precisely answered to the original intentions of the Queen. The reception she has met with has greatly delighted her. In alluding, however, to her Majesty's visit to Scot land, we have a special object in view, to which we desire to call the attention of our readers—it is the wise and truly admirable conduct of the Queen with reference to the subject of religious worship whilst in that portion of the British empire. If a love of mo mentary popularity, which passes away with the next breeze or the next change of opinion, had actuated the Queen, she would have charmed the unreflecting and the irreligious by, attending at Presbyterian worship, and would have neglected the Episcopal Church, of which she is the head, for a mother Church which, however respectable, makes no such acknowledgment, and is not the religion of the State. When the Queen was requested to be present at Presbyterian service, that was a moment of tempta tion. 'We cannot but feel that it must have been so. The General Assembly, the ministers and elders of hundreds, not to say thousands, of congregations, would have boasted of the attachment of Royalty to their form of worship, to their doctrines, and to their noncomformity to the Episcopal Establishment of the State. They would have done more than that : they would have eulogized th^ " magnanimity of the Queen " and would have praised her " for shaking off the trammels of education and pre judice." They would have gone still further; and the cry would have been heard from hill to mountain, and from valley to valley--" Long live the Queen and the Church of Scotland !" The Queen knew all this—she must have known it—but she preferred principle to popularity, and she felt that it was her duty to show to the intelligent, thoughtful, reflect ing, pious Scotch, that as they, in England, would not seek the Episcopal churches of that country to worship their I Icavenly Father, neither could she, i n Scotland, set so bad an example of indifferen ce t o religious considerations and principles as an attend ance at Presbyterian worship would have implied." William Hutton, a policeman, No. 60 K, said the woman had been removed to the London Hospital, and he receiv e d a very unfavourable ac count of her from the surgeons, who said they did not think the would come out o f th e hospital a live. There was a frightful wound on the scalp, and 4 nother on the . ) c 3 - head. There was a l so a contused wound on herrts'l t arm and other bruises on her persOn. A certificate w as produced, stating that Eliza Kerr was in a very dangerous condition from the wounds described, and that she could not be removed. Mr. BALLANTINE said that he shoujd remand the prisoner for a week, and if his Wife recovered suffi ciently before that time, which was not at all likely, her husband would be brought before him or his colleague, before the expiration of the remand, to hear the woman's evidence. Captain Taylor, th e master of' the Liverpool, said he had attended with another ge n tl e man to bail the pri soner, who was his carpenter and, a man of excellent character, and mild disposition. He never had a betterman in his ship, hut he re g retted to say his wife was a' person of very dissolute habits, and her mis conduct had nearly ruined her husband. Mr. BALLANTINE said he could not take bail for a roan who would use a poker upon his wife, and beat her almost to death. it was a. shocking case of vio lence, and no provocation whatever could justify a man in striking a female about the head and body, as the prisoner had done, and if the woman died he should commit him for murder. A police-sergeant, O. 16, K, said the prisoner's wife was a woman of ver y aba n d one d h a bit s . Mr. BALLANTIN E--T at . may be ; but we don't a ll ow people to be killed, however bad their chai•ac ters are. The prisoner stands * remanded for a week. Mrs. Frances Anderson stated that she had also been robbed last night of her bag and keys under the same circumstances as the other complainants, and in the same neighbourhood. She believed the prisoner was the robber. Police-constable, 71 G, stated that he had taken the prisoner into custody, and afterwards searched him. He had found on his person a number of ladies' bags and other articles. (The articles were produced, and a portion of them were identified by the complainants as their property.) The prisoner said, after his ap • prehension, that it was distress drove him to commit the robberies. The MAGISTRATE said that he . should remand the prisoner, in order to give the ladies time to come for ward. He had never known, since the institution of the New Police force an instance of conduct so audacious as that of the prisoner. It reminded one of those scenes which used to take place 150 years ago. WORSHIP-S TREE T. THE CASE OF THE WIDOW BRIGGS.—The follow ing donations have been received by Mr. Broughton, to be applied to the use of Charlotte Briggs, the widow of the poor cabman, who lately lost his life under the melancholy circumstances detailed in The Sun of Thursday, leaving her with an aged mother and six children in a state of entire destitution :—Mr. Stephens, 11. ; Major Blmire, 65.; E. R., 10s.; Anony mous, 10s; Mr. Pritchard, 1/. ; Anon, I/. ; A lady Pall-mall East, 10s.; Frederick Pigou, Esq., Travel lers' Club, 3/. ; and a checque for Si. upon the bank ing-house of Messrs. Gosling and Co., from a benevo lent lady, whose name was not permitted to transpire. Mrs. Briggs attended before the Magistrate in the course of the afternoon, and expressed herself in suit able terms of gratitude towards the generous indivi duals who had come forward with such promptitude and liberality to her assistance. In answer to a question from the MAGISTRATE re specting her former position in society, she said that previously to her marriage she lived for a considerable time abroad, having filled the situation of English governess in different German families of distinction. The poor woman cordially concurred in the Magis trate's proposal to keep the money in his hands until a favourable opportunity occurred of laying it out to the best advantage for herself and family. Wnt. Strange, the driver of Barber's Clapton om nibus, No. 4,904, appeared to answer a police sum mons charging him with furious driving. Police constable, No. 233, deposed that about nine o'clock on the evening of the sth inst. he was on duty in Hackney-road, when he saw the defendant's omni bus and another approaching him at a most furious rate ; both the drivers were lashing their hones, and were evidently engaged' in a violent contest for the lead.—Fined 40s. _________ CORONERS' INQuESTS. ...._____ An adjourned inquest was held yesterday even ing, at seven o clock, in th e Admission-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Nt r . Payne, the City Coroner, and a jury, on the b o d y o f Joseph Elli s, who died in consequence of injuries he received from road o having n Monday evening last. been run over by an om n ib us i n t h e City- The following is the only additional evidence given last evening : Henry Clarke, a cabman, stated that be saw the deceased standing in the middle of the road, while three omnibuses were coining down rapidly. The deceased seemed flurried, not kno w i n g which way to turn. The omnibuses were about ten yards app..t— they were not galloping. One of them knocked down the deceased, and the other ran Over him. The man was driven about fi ve yards by the first omnibus towards the other, the wheel of whi c h passed over him. John O'Neill, time-keeper to the Conveyance Asso ciation, at the Blue-coat Boy, stated that the Favorite stopped at the Blue-coat Boy 7 •A- In. nutes, being 6 mi rages beyond its time. The trope started at its pro per time, following the Favourite ; the latter omni bus crossed the other on the road. r -n a few minutes after, the deceased was brought to witness by the con ductor of the Hope, but witness had not seen the acci dent. The Favourite started oil like the shot of a gun. In the opinion of witness, if the, p a .. o v urite had kept its proper place, the Hope would not have taken the course it did. MODEL of ST. PETER'S at ROME. The model of this splendid temple, now exhibiting in Pall-mall, conveys a faithful picture of the great original. The artist is Signor Gambassini, who has devoted fourteen years to the task. The model itself is on a scale of one to a hundred, but even on this limited scale the base is twenty-five feet in length, and the height twelve feet. Not only are the exterior features represented, but as the whole is ingeniously cut in half, and opens at pleasure, the interior is also shown, with all its chapels, altars, confessionals, statues, and paintings ; nothing has been omitted, the very Mosaic marble pavements in patterns and colours are distinctly shown by different woods ; whilst the noblest monuments by Angelo, Canova, and Thorswalden are beautifully carved in ivory. We would strongly recommend thoSe, whose time or means will not permit a visit to the "once mistress of the world," to see this miniature copy of her noblest temple; and to those who have already seen the original, .to have their remembrances revived, and those visions of architectural grandeur renewed, which may now be perhaps forgotten.

Yesterday Elizabeth Bailey, the woman charged on suspicion with being concerned in robbing Mr. John Marquis at Preston, of 1,9901., was b roug h t bef ore Mr. Trail for re-examination, and Wm. Jovell appeared upon his recognisances as accessory after the fact. Mr. Clarkson attended on behalf of the prisoner::. William Watson was then sworn. He stated that he was landlord of the Railway Inn at Woodside, and that he recollected the day on which two strangers— a male and female —came to his house and had re freshment. It was on Monday, the sth instant. Ile, however, did not take sufficient notice of them to be now in a situation to identify them ; but that after their departure, he went into the back-yard, and saw what he at first supposed to be a piece of waste paper, and on opening it out found it to be a 1001. note, with a 10/. note wrapped up in it. He proceeded to Liverpool the following day, gave notice of the cir cumstance at the principal police-station, and hills de scribing the fact having been circulated, the complain ant came forward and identified both the notes a s forming a portion of those of which he had been robbed, as already described. The notes referred to were produced before the M7gistrate, and by certain marks upon them were satisfactorily identified by the complainant as two of those of which he had been robbed. John Clarke, the conductor of the Hope, stated that on the . evening in.question. Willi am Thomas was the driver of that omnibus. They had not st ar t e d f ar when the driver said to witnessthat th ere was some thing lying on the road. Witness told Min to pull up; he did s o; w hen witness went b ack and found the deceased lying down in the road towards the middle of it.

The winner of the St. Leger was never backed by Any individual soul for one copper until the day before the race. No compliment to the gentlemen of the Press, not one newspaper ever included Blue Bonnet in the number of starters. I will not, like some gentlemen who make a boast of propheeying what will not. win, take the slightest credit to myself for • declaring my opinion last week about Attila ; I opposed him on principle, and it now seems really as if the same horSe was never again to win the Derby and St. Leger. My letter, however, of Saturday last, will - - well bear a re-perusal. I said I would not hear. of Fireaway, beRiTSF — EF•lll:lWered horse; some. argue that he would have won if he had not (as he did at Goodwood) stopped and kicked when the jockey called upon him ! I said, Fireaway was sure to heat Ballinkeele ; he (lid ! I said, if Seahorse had not run at Wolverhampton, I should have selected him to win. Many argue that, if he had never gone there,. he would have won; there is no doubt in the world that he was amiss on Sunday, and yet he runs se cond ! I said also, Eboracum must have deceived his party amazingly if he was a good horse ; he was no where ! I named Rosalind to win. lam fairly beat ; I confess it, and am nowise ashamed of myself. I should have said thesameaftel the Derby, but I should have told an untruth; Rosalind looked well at the distance. It is rather fortunate for my reputation I had never heard of the winner.- By Touchstone, sire of Rosalind, my prediction might have been otherwise. Who shall say ? My predilection for the blood is well known. The pace was terrific, and I can only presume Mr. W. Scott thought he was mounted on a Don John. I said the Derby was a slow run. race, and now who can doubt it ? Master Thomas, the horse backed so much at the eleventh hour, was heat early in the race. Overwhelming success has made you over-confident, therefore careless, Mr. John Scott. The immediate Scott party are heavy losers. They backed their horses like men—like sportsmen—and deserved to win. Mr. Dawson has now won Oaks and St. Leger; Mr. Scott Derby. All the good things this year have gone to the North. Lord Eglinton is a large winner. Colonel Peel's luck is terrible, always running second in great races. It struck me that the attendance was not on a par with former years. Certain there were not half the number of ladies in the grand stand I have seen. Doncaster, Sept. 14. JUDEX. F_!,- "..... x -r--e_- -t7 Qz. ...) .

NORWICH, SEPT. li.—The excitement exhibited this morning in this quiet and peaceful town was quite extraordinary. Every street was thronged with equi pages, and parties hastening towards St. Andrew :s -hall, and with crowds Of people .assembled to gOc on the brilliant scene. Within ten minutes of the opening eifThe doors, every part of the spacious hall was com pletely filled, and those who came aftern-ards' found admission Out of the question. Before the perforMance began, Professor Taylor addressed the audience, and said, in thefname of the committee, that they had,oc- . casion, for the first time, to regret that the Size of the hail was insufficient for the company who wished to be present, and that those who found themselves nn pleasantly crowded, if they chose to leave the hall, should twelve tickets of admission to either of the subsequent performances they might prefer. Besides . the two thousand persons who filled the hall, „five hundred at least could not obtain admission. • The first part of this day's performances consisted .of several fine specimens of ecclesiastical music.. First of all, there was the chorus from Joshua, 4, y e Sons of Israel," one of Handel's most sublime efforts. Nothiug- can be more magnificent than the musical phrase given to the above words, which is reVLT berated, and " tossed about from side to side," in the true antiphonal style of harmony. The fugal , subject at the words, " Gilgal ant olls banks," was taken up by the different parts in it Plan ner which should send the Exeter-hall chorister; to school again. Miss Hawes then sang, in a beaut Val manner,- the air "On th e d we lli ngs o f thy children,'' from Schneider's Oratorio, the Deluge.. 'lt is aecom- • panted throu g h ou t b y the violoncello obligato, and. nothing could be more charming than the union of Miss Ilawes's deep contralto tones, with those of Lindley's instrument: There was then a trio from Battishell's anthem, "Behold how good a thing it is," admirably sung by Young, Hobbs, and Bradbury. , No person who had ever heard the inimitable.round„ " I lov'd thee, beautiful and kind," could fail to recog nise the composer of this exquisite trio. The organ accompaniment was plaed by Mr. Turk, with the utmost delicacy • and this beautiful anthem is one of those "gems OF purest ray serene," which " th e d ar k unfathom'd caves of ocean' would soon bear, were it not for the taste and judgment : of the conductor of the Norwich Festival. Handers air, " 0 magnify the Lord," \\*as - very beautifulky sung. by Miss , Bassano, a young lady of great promise, but she must strive to accomplish a better shake. Lastly came Dr.. Croft's anthem, " Sing unto God." Now came the great object of expectation, The Fall of Babylo n , an ora t or i o , b y Louis Spohr, Maestro di' Capello to hi s S erene Hi g h ness t h e .Eleeter-Of„llesse 'Cassel, which same Elector, exercising his sovereign will and pleasure, has been graciously pleased :to_re fuse- permission to the illustrious composer to super intend the performance of his work. It has fortu nately happened that this superintendence :has been • committed to able hands ' • and Spohr's con fid ence i n his friend and coadjutor, Professor Taylor, .has been amply justified by the result, for a more perfect per formance, and a more enthusiastic reception, could not have been witnesssed. Both as a dramatic poem and as a musical composition, this oratorio is entitled to high consideration. The poem is, in the Strictest acceptation of the word, an oratorio, or second musical drama. Its subject is o f th e grandest 'description-- the destruction of the Assyrian power, and the resto ration of the Hebrew people from their long and, seemingly hopeless captivity. Its incidents are few, simple, and striking, such as can he rendered intelli -gible without the aid of theatrical exhibition and action ; and its poetry is of,,a much higher class that' is generally to be met with in the librelti of musical compositions. At present a short account of the subject of the poem must suffice. At its commencement the scene lies on the banks of the Euphrates, pear Babylon. A • chorus of JeWs are bewailing their .captivity, and crying to Jehovah for deliverance. Tie prophet Daniel joins in their pray e rs, and predicts their ap proaching restoration. The scene changes,to . the Persian camp ; and, a m id the most animated'strahis of martial music, the soldiers of CyrUs invoke tie vengeance of Heaven on the criminal and devoted city. Within the city, a Jewish mother is repre sented watching her sleeping chill, and weeping over the unconscious innocent, doomed to a life of bondage ina strange land. Herhusband enters, bringing jyyfid tidings. Their inspired prophet has seen, in a fision,' the long-delayed redemption of the Ilehrewi race. In the second act, the zcene is laid in the banquet-hall, in the palace of Belshazzar. The Assyrian monarch is Isasting amid the magnificence of his voluptous court, when the joyous strains of the festive groups are interrupted by the dark and boding murmurs of the Jewish captives, assembled, 'we may suppose, round the doors of the hall. The King ad dresses them in terms of anger and contempt; and, by way of insult, commands the rich .and sacred, vessels, which once adorned the Temple, to beb roug ht* before him and emploTed in their unholy festivitims While he is exulting in fancied power end security, the terrible hand-writing appears on the wall. •The revellers fly in terror and dismay. The King calls* for his soothsayers to explain the portentous prodigyk and, on confessing their inability, Daniel, the Jewisli captive, is called tor. While he is speaking, the:dis- . tant march of the P ers i ans is heard, and a. so ldi er , : with breathless haste, announces to Belshazz ar th a t • the foe is upon him. Cyrus, by turning the course of the Euphrates, has been enabled to enter the city; the Babylonian empire is destroyed ; and t4e verance of the chosen people is celebrated in songs of devout and pious rejoicing. Such, in tow words, is the subject of this sublime work. Its music is characterised by all. the greatness of Spohr's genius, and by his peculiarities of manner. 'But the traits of genius, as well as the peculiarities of manner, must be reserved till another opportunity ; in the meantime it must be allowed that The Fall qf Babylon is the greatest work of' its class that has ap peared since the days of Handel. Its performance .was admirable. The dramati* per sow were cast thus :—Daniel, Mr. Hobbs z Cyrus, Mr. Phillips; Belshazzar, Air. lialfe;' Israelitisli Man, Mr. Young ; Soothsayer, Mr. Walton ; Persian Soldiers, Messrs. Perring and Bradbury; lsraelitish Women, Mad. Ca ra d or i and Miss Itainforth ; Nico tris (Mother of Belshazzar), Miss Rases. The chorus consisted of Israelites, Persian, and Balsylp. nian 3oldiers, and priests of Bel. The performance was wonderfia Listening to it with the score in your hands, not a single error cou ld be d e t ec t e d. By th e regulations, no applau se was permitted, but everybody accustomed to obs erve t h e demeanour of l arge au diences knows thheenle• the vulgar demonstration of c l app i ng of hand s , t h ere are many signs by which the general feeling can be 4s covered. The universal impre§sion is, that Th e F a R of B a b y l on i s th e greatest work which its Liustriotti author has yet produced, and the tidin''s of its s uccess will con so l e hi m for having been deprived of the gratification of witnessing SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DONCASTER RACES —THURSDAY. Beeswing has been so long associated with the Cup at Doncaster, that without her the race would lose its chief attraction. For seven years in succession has she competed with the best horses of the day. Com mencing in 1836, then three yrs old, she ran fourth for it, Touchstone first, Carew second, Venison third, Gene ral Chasse fifth, and Flying Billy sixth •, in 1837 she won it, beatine. Cardinal Puff, Abraham New land, Eg er i a , an d ° Dan Dawson ; in 1838 she ran second to Don John ; in 1839 - she was third, Charles the Twelfth being the winner, and Laner cost second; in 1840 she again won it, beating The Provost, Charles the Twelfth, Maroon, Sampson, and Vermillion ; in 1841 she also won it, having only the Shadow to beat. From this enumeration it will be seen that she has won it three times, and that in the other three she was defeated by first-rate horses, all St. Leger winners. The result of her seventh appearance for it will be found below. The rak_e, it is almost un necessary to add, excited very considerable interest, and the St. Leger settling having terminated comfortably, the books were opened on Wednesday, and business to a large amount transacted. A report having got into cir culation that the mare was lame, the odds changed from 6 to 4 on her to 5 to 4 on the field ; the offers agst Charles the Twelfth falling from 4 to 1 to 5 to 2. These were the opening prices on Wednesday after dinner, when, judging from the betting, the lameness, if ever it existed,. must have disappeared ; for, in the course.of an hour, a large ' outlay caused the odds to rise to 7 to 4 on Charles the Twelfth, going back to 4 and 5 to 1 ; half an hour after, the anti-favourite party came out in strength, and the betting closed at evens on the mare, 9 to 4 on the horse,' 5 to 1 against all the three years old, and 7 to 1 against the Shadow, who was backed for 2001. at 6 and 8 to 1 ; Attila was mentioned, but had no separate price. These fluctuations imparted greater interest to the race, and as it was preceded by a two years old race, that brought out the first favourite for the Derby, and several others engaged in it or in the Oaks or St. Leger ; the company, which was much larger than on the St. Leger day, seemed to care little about the deficiency ct the list in other respects.
