TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the 4th, a sharp debate took place on the qaestion of exempting Scotland frdm the operation of the Bill for legalizing-marriage with the siiter of a deceased wife; and odeasfdn was c taken to add Ireland to the d emand. Of Course Sdoti - h and Irish Members have a right to act as they flee fit, or as they may be instructed. 'But there is a strong reason why English Members sh-OUld—not—lightly give way to demands of this nature,. as -there is too often a oisposition to do. It is no secret that the world is changingits opi nions on many points which were once held indis putable, and that it is the business - of prudent legis lation to keep pace with these changes, with of course full liberty of opposition for the retainers of the old convictions. And it is no secret also, that in some portions of an empire like the British, these changes proceed faster than in others, albeit in the other portions there is commonly a strong minority, though often almost without voice in consequence of the zeal with which the opposite party silences contradiction. The most careless observer cannot fail to have perceived, that whenever in England a change in the laws connected with any of these decaying opinions is desired, it is in some of the, Other component por tiOns of the empire that the stand is made. Scotland, for example, is the stronghold of resistance ; and whenever any false reading of a scriptural statute is to be forced down the throats of Englishmen to the damage of their temporal felicity, it is almost an nouncEd that in Scotland the Scripture has been read with insertion or omission of a " not" from time immemorial. , ~:_--.:.

Dr. Burney relates that at Signora Frasi's, one even ing in the year 1748, Hardel brought in his pocket the MS. of the duet, " From these dread Scenes," in the Judas Maccabees, in which the Signora-had not then sung. (It was produced in 1746.) When the immortal Saxon sat down to the harpsichord, to give them the time of the piece, and while he sang the first part to give the Signora, who, like most Italians, road music very ill a prima vista, an idea of it, the Doctor, looking over Handel's shoulder, hummed the second. "At first the composer encouraged me," relates Dr. _Burney, "by desiring me to sing out, but unfortunately something went wrong, and Handel with his usual impetuosity grew violent, a circumstance very terrific to a yoking musician. At leng;,h, however, recovering from my fright, I ventured to say that I fancied there was a mis take in the writing, which upon examination Handel discovered to be the case, and then instantly, with the greatest good humour and humility, said, • I pee your parton—l am vaary,odt (odd) tog!-1113,isihter Schmidt is to plame.'

JOHN CHRISTOPHER SMITH Was the " Maisbter Cchn]idt" above a ll u d e d t o, an d besides being Llandel's amanuensis was a tolerable com poser; indeed some of his music (esp , cially Caliban's song, "The 011 is abroad") to the Tempest, is by so means forgotten. He was entrusted to copy from :vhi c h s out h to say were 11-indel's original sketel.,, composed of a series of mysterious hieroglyphics, which only he and their immortal writer could decipher —so that to have borne the weight of mistakes loaded opt' his shoulders, John Christopher Smith should have possessed those of an Atlas.

'Tis strange that such a dream should cross my brain, But so it is when poets take Champagne. The dream was this—that I was calmly strolling Inside the Hall, soon after Roth-child's loollinc, When, all at once, I halted in my walking, On heating voices, as of persons talking. So ttirning round to ascertain the noise, The talkatives, I found, were two big boys. One's name was Magog, and the other's Ciog And this is something of their dialogue Neighhour," said .log, " i think this dav's election Has furnhii'd us with something worth inspection, And, certainly, this great proceeding closes Much to the credit of the Tailors, JIOSF.S. I slid not care for speeches. cheers, or votes, Half what I did for MOSES'S summer Coats. The excitement of the scene will do—but, Bang it The suits of MOSES a:together bang it." " Hear, hear ! well done ! chat's capital," said Magog, " I .quite agree with ev'ry thing you say, Clog. There never were such waistcoat 4, coats and breeches, Rinse I and you have occupied these niches." MOSES & SON," said he, " make dress most stunningly," nd here the little fellow wink'd most cunningly.) " I wonder what their prices are," said Magog, "Their articles have made me rather a-gog.' ISOSES & SON would make us look quite slap, What do you say to trying them old chap ?" " I'll go," said Goz. " I want a morning :own, And here's a gentleman will h 1p us down." 'O, dear? (thinks I) I'd rather be excus'd, $o down my com p li ance was at once refus'd. o down the giants came, with pond'roua leap, And I awoke and found I'd been asleep. LIST OF PRICES.

Robinson and Russell. the eminent engineers and iron ship builders, launched from their works at Millwall a beautifully constructed iron steamer, built for the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, and intended to run between Hull and the terminus of the railway at Great Grimsby. The novelty of the launch consisted in the vessel having her engines and boikrs already fitted on bard, instead of being launched empty—a plan by which much delay is saved and great accuracy of work manship ensured. With due regard to the nature of , he services to be perfortned, the vessel has a large saloon, or waiting-room, on deck, fifty feet in length. :welve feet wke, and nine high, so thAt passengers will not require to go down into the cabin. The saloon is to be fit ed up with large plate glass windows, and fur nished with sofas and seats similar to those in a first class railway carriage. The dimensions of the vessel are— Length of keel... ... 150 rt. Bean 224. 6in. Depth ... 104. 6;n. Oscillating engines ... 150 horsepower. The hull, as well as the engines, were all made at he works of M.. , ssrs. Robinson and Russell. This beat, with sister vessel built at Hull, but now in ,he Thames, to be fitted with engines, is to form part 0! A great system of communication across the Humber, lesigned bv Mr. Fowler, the engineer of the line, and is w-11 calculated to diminish to the utmost the ineonre• nience of havir g a railway intercepted by an arm of the sra. A pier on each side runs into deep water, and -arries railway trains upon it alongside the haat. Oa •!etting out of the carriages pas , engers will find them ;elves alongside the saloon of the express steam-boat, which will immediately convey them across the terry. a a rate of not less than 15 miles an hour, to a similar pier on the opposite side. When these arrangement. ,re finished, they wi'l form a most complete railway steam-terry, and much more expeditious than any hitherto brought into use. The ceremony of christening was performed by Mrs. Cole, who gave the vessel the appropriate name of "The Manchester." A slight accident interrupted the launch -or a short time, but by the aid of a tug she " took the Hater," arnitht the cheers of a vast body of spectators, in most gallant style. After the launch, Messrs. Robinson and Russell en tertained a party of trtends in the cabin of the Pandora, I, pleasure steam-yacht, built for the Nawab Niz irn, of loorshedabad, and hunched on the 21st ult. Mr. tits sell took the chair, and the usual toasts were duly cele brated, the principal being, " Success to The Manches 7 ter," which was replied to by Mr. Cole, who took the opportunity to describe the enormous dock-works now or construction at Grimsby. The Pandora is intenchd in a few days to make several rial trips in the Thames; and as .he is rather an ex traordinary-looking craft, it may interest our nautical sk-alers to know something about her. She is of iron, and, like the Manchester, was launched from the yard <villa engines, boilers, and everything on board ready iOr work. She was to have been used chi fly on hunting expeditions, in a narrow and shallow branch of the Ganges. She was designed to draw 22 inches on crunching, and she drew precisely 22 inches. Her limn ing drought is 24 inch, e. Fier cabins are roomy, lofty, and airy, the state apartments being in the fore part, And consisting of a platform, vestibule, saloon, and divan, :nit they are not at present fitted up in the magnificent manner originally proposed, though they are simple, and elegantly lined with drapery. The engines are made of .he most costly materials and excellent workmanship, no expense having been spared to procure strength with tightness. The whole framing is of the finest hammered trot), and the parts usually made of cast iron are of nronzs or fine brass. The proportions of the vessel are as follow;—Length, 150 f . :l - ; breadth, 19 legit; d. pth, 10 fut 6 inches; fore iloons, 45 feet by 18 feet wide; after saloon, 45 feet by 18 leet wide; ergines, low pressure, condensing, of 80 ,urse power. The term of the vessel is designed tl meet the exi -I,ences of sped and extremely small draught of water. l'he bow is upon Mt. Scott Russell's wave principle, and tt terminates in an elegant figure. bead, like the prow of .he ancient Ron an galleys. The stern has large plate tlass windows, surrounded by elegant carving. Alto ,ether she is externally, as well as internally, a very ,leasing vessel. We believe a speed of fourteen miles .0 hour has been gulr:intePd by the builders. LAUNCH OF THE SCREW-STEAM- VESSEL BOSPHORUS. On Saturday afternoon last the first of a line of screw iron-steam-vessels, destined to run between London and , ;. , natantinople, was launched from the extensive build. oig and ironworks of Mes , r.4. Mare and Co., of Back v:lß. The occasion was marked by the attendance id n , tny c , tingui,hed personal.-s, including the Turkish AuraissVor arid suite. Mr. Z shrub. the Turkish Con •,11; Cwain Ford, of the Ottoman navy; Mr. La m i ng , .1 Claike, and Mr. L e ary, Mr. . Mau Islay, Mr. White, of Cowes; Mr. Catawba. C.E., &c., were alsn ,resent; and a very numerous assembly of ladies graced the cerumony. Soohi ► Z hrab, it very pretty Huh ;id, niece io the Turkish Con, ul. scowl sponsor for the d sphozus. As she was relieved from the stocks, en lid d slowly and smoott.ly into the wa!tr, amidst th , , beers of ail presont, as she rose most buoyantly and sntled down on the water a little by the stern, she drew .orth ge; , eral admiration for lit r symmetrical propor Lions, which are— Ft. 1.-ngth between perpendiculars ... 175 Breadth •011. • • ••• ••• 28 Depth ... ... 16 Giving her a burden in tons of 530 Subsequently the company adjourned to the mould Lift, where they were very handsomely entertained by the principal of the firm. In drinking success to the Bosphoruq, a compliment was paid to his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador, who, in reply, expressed his satisfaction at what he had witnessed, and said he should feel a pl-ssure in promot ing the interests of the owners to the utmost of his power. His Exc-llency and suite then took their de par tire; but previously to quitting the neighbourhood the Ambassador, wtended by Captain Ford, p Lid a visit to that highly-interesting exhibition the Chinese Junk. The health of the pretty Sponsor for the Bosphorus was drunk; and, in strcession, Mr. Z Airab, the director of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company; Mr. Lagting, the managing director; Captain Ford, the su perintendent; Mr. Maudslay, the constructor of the en giues; and Mr. Waterman, the talented young naval architect of the firm. In the course of an interesting conversation on the merits of commercial screw-vessels, a meed of justice was rendered to Mr. Laming for his invaluable labours in working out the success of the screw prveller, as applied to merchant vessels, in an economical pint of view. It was then stated that by his extraordinary indefatigability he had realized the most sanguine expectations of those connected with him in his enterprise. In the establishment of screw schooners between London and Rotterdam, Mr. Laming had succeeded in profitably reducing the freights from 395. 3d. per ton to 19s. 6d. per ton; whilst that pas sages were performed with equal regularity and rapidity Upon these grounds it was anticipated that under the patronage and support of the Ottoman Government, the new undertaking of the General Screw Steam Company would prove a remunerative speculatiota. The Bos phorus, after she was launched, was immediately towed round to the East India Docks to receive her engines. which are of 80-horse power. She is to be fitted with all dispirch, and two sister vessels, the Hellespont and another, have been ordered from Mare and Co., for the same service, one of which will be commenced this day, an inspection of the first vessel havingsatisfied the com pany that, in the Bosphorus, they have an excellent model for screw steaming, as they have also a strong and well built ship for the purposes required. --- - [ADVERTISEMENT I--An AbFoe:is in the Breast Cared by Holloway's Ointment and Pills. About three years since Mrs. O'Flaherty of Mill-street, Cork, accidentally bruised her breast, for months afterwards the pain increased and the part became fearfully swollen ; various applications were tried without giving the lea't relief. Ultimately an ab scess formed, discharging a great quantity of humour, which debilitated her constitution to an alarming extent • at this stage a lady s t rong l y recommended her to try Ifolloways Ointment and Pills, having witnessed their good effects former occasions, which advice she followed, and these fine medicines answered most satisfactorily, for the wound was soon healed, and her health is now completely renovated.—Sold by all Drug.gists and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. I),soatch.s were sent off ~ u Sturdy evening Jrum the Colonial-office, for the Governoni of Matta, Cellon, and Hong-Kong. Sir JOHN FIFE, on taking the chair, expressed his gratitude to those who were present for their alacrity in responding to the appeal which his friend Mr. Craw shay and ,himself bad - ventured to make to them, and for the imposing numbers in which th 4 hai assemble.f. Without knowing or caring what might not be the policy of the Government. they thought they could not be wrong in calling a meeting to express sympa thy with the oppressed, and at the same time utter abhorrence of the tyranny which is now up and in arms, not only to crush liberty in Hungary and Rome, but to crush liberty in every part of Europe.— (Applause.) Those who would fellow him, especially Signor Bonapieni e who was himself a H *men, would vindicate the righteousness and justice of the cause in which the brave Romans have struggled against such fearful odds, and they would else) justify the conduct of the Hungarians in insurrection. Not only had Austria oppressed the Hungarians, according to rule and in the scientific manner which despotstan employ, but she bed even made use of insurrections to aid her purposes, for it was Well known that she had encouraged the peasantry in Gallicia to rise and murder the landed proprietors and to burn their mansions. He did not doubt that those proprietors had incurren the hatred of the people, but it was proved that the Government orignated the insur rection and paid the peasantry for the head of every landowner which they brought to them.—(Hear, hear.) • What could they expect of such a nation? Could they imagine that a God of justice will permit such a nation to prosper in its iniquities? He believed not, and that when they met again Europe would present a more satis factory aspect.—(Cheers.) GEORGE CRAWSHAY, Esq , then came forward to move the first resolution. After some introductory re marks, he observed that he felt most deeply on this matter, especially now when it was no longer a question between Austria and Hungary, but whether a great, brave, good, and improving people like the Hungarians ate to advance in civilization and freedom, or be annihi lated—trampled out of existence by the power of Russia. —(Hear s hear.) In this position of the question he felt that England ought no longer to remain silent, but to lift up her voice and tell the Cz it and Austria that she does not look on unsympathisitigly at the commission of so great a crime—au foul a national neurder.—(Loud cheers.) Although Hungary had been overrun by in vaders, yet she had always preserved her independ ence, and by that circumstance the Emperor of Austria was merely Rug of Hungary, and bad sworn to govern that country according to its own laws and constitution. This oath the Emperor had broken, and the policy of his Government was to set class against class and encourage jealousies and enmities between Hungary, Bo hemia, and other states, in order that thus he might di• vide and govern.--(Cheers) The Hungarians did not like this pi hey; they found the Austrian Government. a ivancing step by sti p, and taking away their ancient liberties,and resistance was meditated. Even ten years ago, when be was travelling on the Continent, he heard it sta•ecl that the Hungarian people were ripe fir insur rection. No one would deny that in those days the in ternal and local government of Hungary was purely aris tocratic, and had it remained so, the Hungarian nobles would never have obtained the support which they have since derived from their fellow-countrymen. But the truth is, they saw the danger impending—that if they did riot pert with their aristocratic privileges, Austria would set the peasantry and lower classes against them, and reduce Hungary to a province and de a endeney of the empire. Under these circumstances the Hungarian nobles presented an example to the world, for of their own accord, in their own Diet, elected by themselves, they voluntarily gave up their exclusive privily gee, one to which was exemption from taxation. All feudal rights were abolished, and all the tribes were placed on a foot ing of equality with the 31agyars; they established per fect religious liberty and granted universal toleration. At the head of this improvement was the great Kossuth. —(Cheers.) He might be said to be the new Hungarian nation personified. He was sent up to the new aristo cratic Diet by a lady (for any large landed proprietor, whether male or female, could return a representative); and he made himself so troublesome to the Austrian Government, principally by writing in a paner, that he was put in prison, as many a good man has before him. —(Applause.) This was in 1839. In 1840 he came out of prison, and became leader of the opposition in the Hungarian Diet: - Thus matters sto.,d when the French Revolution took place. 'This produced a mo mentary and violent insurrection, and the people of Hungary made strong demands which were conceded by Austria; had Austria kept faith with them in these matters, the late disastrous conflicts would have been prevented. He believed the Hungarian people had not, at the outset, the most remote intention of deposing the Emperor; indeed, this was not done until the Aus trian Government invited Russia to assist them. — (Applause.) Mr. Crawshay then proceeded at some length, and with great ability, to detail the varied stops in the course of perfidy, treachery, and crime pursued by Austria, down to the time when Kossuth rallied the Parliament around. him, and the pecple laying the in signia of S , . Stephen on the altar of the church, swore by that crown to die in defence of their country, and never to surrender.—(lmmense cheering.) He gave in stances of the heroic courage of the Hungarians, and spoke of Kossuth as the most foremost man in Europe. The Hungarians were assisted by the Poles—(Cheers) — although it is not true, as the Emperor of Russia de clared, that any considerable portion of his subjects, as tie calls the Poles, serve in the Hungarian ranks. They consist chiefly of Austrian subjects, for Austria had its share of Polish plunder, as well as Russia. The noble and gallant, but unsuccessful efforts of the Pules to re gain thsir liberty were remembered by all. For eiehteen years the generals who headed them bad lived in poverty and distress in different parts of Europe. Gen. Bein was in the receipt of 15s. per week in this country, and he had to be attended in one of our hospitals. Had it not been for such noble individuate as Lord Dudley Stuart that man might not have been preserved to render the great service he had since done to the °luso of liberty.—(Applause.) Bern defended Vienna, and when It was surrendered, one condition of the capitulation was that he should be hanged. • He disappeared, how ever, in some mysterious manner, and the next that was heard of Mtn was that he was at the head of patriotic forces in Trans, On this occasion Beal over came both Austrians and Ruesians, and drove them out of the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. Crawshay concluded by prepesiug the following resolution ; " Thzt a national subscription, for the purpose of enabling the Hungarian exit s, new in this country to return to their nseive land, will be an act worthy of the generosity of the people of England, at the same time that it will afford them an opportunity, which they should not suffer to pass by, of making public and meth 'est their indignation at the conduct of the Austrian and Russian Governmens towards Hungary, and of showing eympathy with the heroic exertions of the Hungarian people in the most sacred of causes, the pmection of their homes and country against invasion. That accor dingly a subscription for this purpose be commenced, anti the proceeds forwarded to Lord Dudley Swart." Mr. J. L. 'InoRNToN seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, amidst great applause. A voluntary collection was then'tshen on behalf of the Hungarian exiles, and a handsome sum realised. Tee Rev. G. BELL moved the next resolution, ex pressive of strong disapprobation at the conduct of France with reference to Rome. Although not a mem. tier of the Peace Society, yet he had a great horror of war ; but they all could cry " Shame, shame," to Aus tria and France, and neither country was so far off that it could not hear the nations voice cry " Shame." Mr. GEoRGE BREWIR seconded the motion, which was carried. Signor BOMPIINI, a Roman, after adverting to the invasion of Italy by Bonaparte, his spoliation and tyranny, and the subsequent imposition of the " old regime," concluded thus:—The French Government has revealed to the world what is their luve for French liberty by pouring bombs on Roman li berty. Yes, the political principles of the Seine are ex plained on the banks of the Tiber. The attack on Rome is the crime of Cain, accomplished by a faithless Govern ment against a defenceless people. Had a republic been proclaimed in St. Petershurgh or in London, the power whieli governs the destiny of France would have trembled and bowed before them. But Rome is comparatively a small town, and thirty five thousand men, the bravest soldiers of Europe, backed by Austrian, Spanish, and Neapolitan troops, have at last silenced the fire of the brave but unfortunate defenders of our liberty, and who had retired to Rome as to the heart of Italian indepen dence. The Frerch legions have been victorious— they, through fire and sword, have become masters of Rome, and now Pius IX. can return to the eternal city; a river of blood will bring hint back his triple golden crowns, whilst his Master only left to him , a crown of thorns. Let him take it up with that hand which s!gned the warrant of death for his children, which was destined only to bless and forgive! Why does he not go to Avignon, where several of his predecssors passed nearly seventy years? No—he must occupy again the repel abode of the Vatican, though he styles himselt the Vicar of " Him who had not a stone whereon to rest his head." One word more. I may be asked— "To what purpose your speech, your enthusiasm?" For a very simple reason. Ido wish that there should be at least one nation in the world to set an example of public morality. I would wish that. cheered by s)m pithy here for our misfortunes and efforts, I could iron) this distant c .utetry exclaim to my Itithari brethren. have all the world against us except fr;e England.' This at least will be cur consolsiion in our fall, that M e are lamented and admired. Let the men of Engl think on the c•ilani'ties and circumstances whieh have reduced to a nonentity and slavery the Queen of Datong, and they will pronounce their login. et, which, I doub not, will be heard with fear and dismay by those tyrants who have caused, and cause, so many'lears and blood.

London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longtnans, PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty has, we are informed, graciously intimated her intention of honour ing this harbour regatta with her presence in the royal yacht on Wednesday and Thursday next, and presented a donation of 25 guineas to the funds. The Myrtle steam- tender s riled yesterday. MADEIRA, JUNE 15.—Her Majesty's screw-sloop Reynard, 11, Commander Ceacroft, arrived here in nine days from Dcvonport, under sail all the way, with the exception of about 100 miles; the experienced a heavy gale from the S.W. on the 10th and 11th, and made capital weather of it; indeed, she seems qaite a different vessel since the reduction of the armament, which is Rot surprising, no less than Si tons of dead weight having been removed from her decks and sternpost. The Ame- rican corvettes Portsmouth and York Town are lying here, the former a magnificent ship of 1,000 tons, and bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Cooper, the Commander-in-Chief on the coast of Airi,a, which was duly saluted. Tory are here to recruit; officers and men all ~ n shore, enjoying the aremens of this delightful island, and return to their station in about a fortnight. The Iteynard is the first man-of-war that has been ad mitted to pratique from England since the cholera alarm commenced—an alteration bailed with satisfaction by all classes, for this island must have suffered very much hem the imp, sition of the absurd and vexatious quaran tine. Thu It ynard sails to-morrow for S4ll Nicholas (Cape Verds), then to Portentlic, on the gum coast, Sierra Leone, and Rio de Janeiro. WooLwicn, JULY B.—The Devonshire, 72 guns, was removed from the ordinary at Chatham, at eleven o'clock to-day, for the purpose of being taken round to Deptford, to s-rve as a temporary seaman's hospittaship instead of the Dreadeought. The latter is to be taken to IVoolwich to be docked and undergo repairs and im provements for the comfort of such seamen as may sus tain accidents on the 't flames. Tne Vivid, Diver mill steam-pellet, Captain Luke Smithett, is expected to form one of the Royal squadron which will proceed with her Msjesty to Ireland next month. A correspondent has furnished the following interest ing tritl of speed between the Scotia and B.ns'nee, the runner belonging to the Railway Comptny, arid the latter one of the Holyhead steam packets:—The Scotia. of 750 tons, was built by Messrs. Wigratn, Blackwall, and fitted with engines by Messrs. Maudalay, Field and Son, of 400-horse power. The trial took place on the evening the Lord• Lieutenant returned to Ireland. Both vessels left Holyhead pier at six o'clock, the Banshee leaving the Lord-Lieutenant on board. The steam va cuum of the Scotia was low at starting, and the Ban shee's steam blowing off she gained a alight advantage for a short tame. At 6.15 the Scotia got up steam, with a pressure of 151 b., and she then gained on the Banshee, and continued to du so during the whole trip, arriving at KingstoAn•quay 16 minutes before her competitor. During the middle and latter part of the passage there was a strong wind from the south south-west, with a heavy short sea, yet the Scotia mado the passage in 3 hours and 56 minutes, her engines making 26 revolu tions per minute.

SHAKSPERE In heart, soul, thought, taste, and feeling one of NAture's lyrists, one of her most inspired musicians, must have felt that there was a mutual, a reciprocal charm reflected from music on the singer, as well as bestowed by the sin4er on music, when ho penned that beautiful com parison of the sound of a cultivated human voice to ditties highly ptnned Sung by a fair queen in a summer's bower With ravishing division to her lute." PAER Was not gifted with a placid temper, nor, truth to tell. with a forbearing, gentle, and subinissivn wife. Bat it is to these ciicuinstanet's that we are indebted for the' chief beauties in his operas, tor we are credibly told that ho composed his most admired morceaus while engaged in wrangling wish his wile, upbraiding his children, and (parcelling with his servants. He then would summon his favourite dog, and white caressing and playing with it with one hand would with the other substantializa his thoughts. PAESIE[.LO Comrosed always in bed. Thus luxuriously ensconced did he plln and wri4t his La Motinara, his Nino, and hi. Barbiere di Seniglia. The latter opera was the cause Rossini giving to the world his ow❑ chef d'auvre o' the same title, and which the world has stamped with au immortality coqual in futurity o. existence with itself. CORELLI. Of this famous musician an amusing anecdote is related as (xemplitying the vein of good-humoured wit he pos sessed and, more than that, his readiness to acknowledge talent in others. Adam Strunck, chief violinist to the Elector of Hanover, on a visit he paid to Rome, imme oiaiely, to fulfil one of the chief objects of his journey, paid Corelli a v6it. The latter being unacquainted with his person received him with the courtesy which was customary to be evinced towards strangers, but without inquiring his name. In the course of the convei ration which ensued he learned that his visitor was a musician, and required on what instrument he performed. "A little on the harpsichord and violin," replied Strunck modestly, at the came time begging the favour that Corelli would let him hear his performance on the latter instrument. With this request Corelli complied, and on laying aside his violin requested a similar favour on the port of Strunck. The stranger commenced pl tying, hut at first carelessly, yet sufficiently well as to induce Corelli to compliment him on the freedom of his bowing. The latter wound up his praises by sa yi ng t h at " with practice he would become an excellent player." Strunck then, with a strange glittering of the eye, unscrewed the pegs of the violin so as to put it out of tune. He then began to play with the most consummate skill, correcting moat marvellously the notes on the mistuned instrument till Corelli, amazed at such a display, exclaimed, "Why, what is this I hear? they call me Arcangelo, but if I am so, by heaven, sir, you must be Arcidiavolo." WEBER. What a sublime incide,a is recorded of this high souled musician. A grander ,:nd more imposing sentence was never uttered from the mouth of even rho divinely inspired Luther. SAne vocalists who were pinging a hymn in praise of the Great Creator of All Things were vociferating with all the strength their lungs could boast. " flush! hush!" interrup!ed Weber, holding up the palm of his hand—" hush! would you sing to loud if you were in the pretence of God?" HAYDN. The Prince von Esterhazy wits at 611 arm a munificent patron sod sincere friend of Haydn, and exemplified it on many occasions. Twice was Haydn's residence at Eisscnstdt consumed by lire, and twice did the Prince cause it to be rebuilt selely at his own expense, so that had it not been for this generous noble, Haydn would not only have possessed no home, but lacked the slightest article of furniture. But the benevolence of the Prince did not cease with the re-edification of his dwelling, for he also replaced till the composer's lost furniture, linen, household utensils. &c., in fact everything which had been destroy ed, deputing Pleyel, the favourite pupil of Haydn, to attend to their entire reinstatement according to the most minute wish of his unfortunate friend. And Pleyel proved the most affectionate of and was as active end zealous in the execution of this trust as his muster could wish. When tho second conflagration oc curred Haydn WAS at some dissince on a particular mission, and so expeditious had been his patron's kind ness, that, except for the new appearance of his house, Haydn would scarcely have noticed that anything had occurred, and that it had been burned down and rebuilt. His feelings of gratitude were, however, mingled with bitter regrets that he had lost the only copy he had made of his Armida. and this 1053 he bewailed as one of the greatest he had ever endured. With pa'pable traces of confusion, and after much hesitation, Pleyel at length confessed that he had clancicstintly made a copy for his own private use, and which now he would feel happy iu restoring to the right'ul possessor. Haydn soon forgeiv. his pupil, and on, receiving the promised copy, his joy was complute. MOZART. We all know the deep devotion, the passionate adora tion—the poetry of love which this glorious musician entertained for his wife Constance. And althong,h, he it was what the world called "an imprudent ma rciin heir never repented this important step. Soo n . marriage, and while a young were at increasing aroundthem they fell into embarrassments Match n either coul d have furfteen. The Emperor Joseph one day, addressing Mozart, inquired, " Why did you not marry a rich wife, Mozart?" " Sire," replied the latter, with that di unity of manner and manly independence of character which formed such distinguishing traits in his disposition, "Sire! I hope that my genius —at least my exertions—will always support the woman I love." THE ART OF SINGING. Sir John Hawkins, in his valuable and elaborate work, "A G ?neral History of the Science and Practice of Music" (5 vols. Co., 1776), informs us, "Formerly there were in London many masters who taught the practice of singing by syllables. The profession is alluded to in some of the comedies written about the time of Charles the Second. But singing follows so naturally the smallest degree of proficiency on any instrument that the learning of both is unnecessary; and, in fact, those that teach the harpsichord are now the only singing masters that we know of except a few illiterate professors who travel about the country and teach psalmody by the notes at such rates as the lower sort of peoFle are able to pay." Thus proving that the existing genus—the species, if such terms m•ty be used—of vocal professors are only of some what recent date. GABRIELLI. Of this famous singer many incidents are t old as her as evidencing her enormous estimate of the value Katharine of talents. On her visit to Ittissi9, the Ernpreswseto received her very graciously. " What are has tra©d 11:d this young beauty," said the latter, e la w e h_ or rather my from Naples expressly for our 1 en child, speak—what terms do pllrequire for your i t please your Ma. gagenatnt at our Court?"ni "Ma y "I shall be put to considerable jestp," replied Gabrie for , furs, and as I am but a poor expense this te f4 r sking your Mijosty too much if I article, shall I wi b n e sa) .0 ,000 roubles? At this astounding demand, uttered with the most consummate sang-froid and coolness, the brow of the Empress grew dark —Et slight but angry fl us h was visible on her cheeks while her eyes sparkled —but these signs of displeasure were only momentary, Gabrielli, in relating this scene, acknowledged—" I was terribly frightened, and bitterly regretted my words, but, womanlike, I would not for worlds have recalled them, in the presence of the young and handsome officer ,vho wb;.s gazing at me with such interest." "Twenty ihousand roubles!" echoed Katharine, "are you aware what you demand, child? For this sum I can purchae two field•marshals I" "In that cast-,"returned Gabrielli, with unequalled temerity, " perhaps your Majesty will -tigage two flehl-m , ir-hall who can sing!" Gabrielli uttered this in the most determined manner imaginable. I do not know what possessed me," she afterwards -aid," it must have been some evil spirit, for as I uttered , he words I believed I saw my fate balancing between the Hermitage and Siberia." But the good fortune of Gabrielli did not at fled Cm desert her. "You are bold, yoong women," returned the Empress, resuming Yet no man can fail to know that in Scotland as well as here, there are those who suffer by the corruption of the statute, and who would as gladly be free if they knew how, as any of the forefathers in either country in the days of fiercest struggle - against ecclesiastical dictation on false pretences. - It is clearly therefore one of the benefits which the hindmost country,' or the sufferers in it, have a right to expect from the union with one more advanced, that there should not be too ready concession to the demand that it should be habi tually and by a sort of ex officio process cut off from partaking in the general progress of the imperial law. On these grounds, it was a fortunate event, that the proposal to exempt Scotland and Ireland from the dangerous power of doing as they liked, in a matter where there was no shadow of attempt to force any body to do other wise tha n as th ey p l ease, was re j ected by a majority of 119 against 66. In fact a step has been silently made during the progress of this Marriage question. Oa this and other questions founded on the authority of a written law, there will be an end of the reckless practice of deciding without hearing the law recited. On Thursday I am told I voted wrong on what is called the Quarter Acre Clause in the irish Relief Bill. The purport of this clause is to determine that no man in Ireland shall be entitled to relief from the poor-rate, who is the holder of more than a quarter of an acre of land. This is certainly tantamount to aying, that no man shall have relief from the poor rate till he has not a shirt to his back ; and the question may be, whether it would not be politic, to say nothing of any other reason, to give the man assistance to keep hi% head above water, without waiting for this desperate criterion. As the majority for retaining the clause was very great (74 against 12) it looks as if the other side had not been sufficiently brought into notice by its advocates. On Friday a question connected with the same subject was br ught forward, in the shape of an amendment directed to alter that portion of the Bill which directs that poor -rate shall not be levied from tenants holding to the yearly amount of less than 41., but shall be levied from the landlord. There was undeniably a good deal to be said on both sides; for the ground on which the amendment was supported vk as, that laying the poor-rate on the landlord tends to the ejection of the tenant. It cer tainly may act as a premium on having no tenants under 4/. ; and in that way lead to a certain quantity of ejections. But on the whole, there may be reason to think that the evil of trying to levy the rate from all the small tenants, would amount to more than that of the ejectiofis to arise. And so the House probably thought, when it decided against the amendment by a majority of 55 against 25. The same evening concluded the debate on the State of the Nation. The Right Hon. Member for Tarn worth came forward boldly with what were no velties in the House, but were in fact only the hic, hrc, hoc of the LEague seven years ago ; so that to old Leaguers his declarations sounded like the thaw ing of the not€s which had frozen in the postboy's horn. The reply of the mover aimed at nothing, and accomplished its aim. The most remarkable point about the whole, was the pertinacity with which the motion was declared to be one that was to remove the Government, and change the policy of nations. The wordy display ended in a majority on the side of the Government, of 296 against 156. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 9, 1849. THE GREAT SEA SERPENT. Mr. J. A. Herriman. commander of the ship now lying near the principal entrance of the London Doc;, r.,ialtes the following curious and interesting statement:— He left the Cape on the 19th of February, running with a strong south-easterly wind for four days. On the morning of the 24th the ship was becalmed in lati tude 26 south, longitude 8 east, being about forty miles from the pace in which Captain M'Quhae, kt.N., is said to have seen the great sea serpent. About eight o'clock on that morning, whilst the captain was surveying the calm heavy rippleless swell of the sea through his tele scope, the ship at the same time heading north-north west, he perceived something right abeam, about half a mile to the westward, stretched along the water to the length of about twenty-five or thirty feet, and percep tibly moving from the rhip with a steady sinuous motion. The head, which seemed to be lifted several feet above the watt rs, had something resembling a mane, running down to the floating portion, and within about six feet of the tail it forked out into a sort of double fin. Having read at Colombo the account of the monster said to have been seen by Captain M'Quhae i❑ nearly the same lati tude, Mr. Herrtriaqn was led to suppose that he had fallen in with the same animal, or one of the genus ; he immediately called his chief officer, Mr. Long, with several of the passengers, who, after surveying the objeot for some time, came to the unanimous cot elusion that it must bo the sea serpent seen by Captain M'Quhae. As the Brazilian was making no headway Mr. Herrimau, determining to bring all doubts to an issue, had a boat lowered down, and taking two hands on board, together with Mr. Boyd, of Peterhead, near Aberdeen, one of the passengers, who acted us steersman under the direction of the captain, they approached the monster, Capt. Herniae standing in the bow of the boat, armed with a harpoon, to com mence the onslaught. The combat, however, was not attended with the danger which those on it sea-weed, hended, fur on coming close to the object it was found r m arr e ee s T, and drifting with e to vid b e e n n t o l j t . h d in e f ac m h 7 d e fr t o h m an a an co i the current, which sets constantly to the westward in this latitude, and which, together with the swell, left by the subsidence of the gale, gave it the sinuous snakelike motion. But for the calm which afforded Capt. Herrirnan an opportunity of examining the weed we should have had another " eye-witness" account of the great sea-serpent; Mr. Ilerrinsan himself admitting that he should have re mained under the impression of having seen it. What appeared to be head, crest, and Mane of the immensum ve/umen, was but the large root which floated upwards, and to which several pieces of the coral reef still adhered. The captain had it hauled on board, but, as it began to decay, was compelled to throw it over. He now regrets that he bad not preserved it in a waterbutt for the pur pose of exhibition in the Thames, where the con flicting motion produced by the tide and steamers would in all probability give it a like appearance. A curious accident occurred on board the during her outward-bound voyage to Colonar t • e h Whilst in latitude 39 south, longitude 28.30 east, by ligh tn ing, has Bank, at midnight, she was stru n c n k which killed a seaman named David on mast, and after destroying some deck near the mainmast, itnhe descent, i t t o s pgal lant and splintering a portion of thee issipated itself among the descended into the bold, an d cargo, without doing other injury than filling the a ew were struck down and stispi anyauff6cating, sulphurous s be e t v iv er e a e l n ot te e c r i s is of w t i without serious injury. The most ' ,bock, but fied by extraordinarythe ',bo ck, circumstance connected with the accident 44. the shock had on the compasses of the h th e cr was the e..ect ship, t h e polarity of which was totally destroyed, and had only recovered their proper magnetic powers on the arrival of the vessel at Colombo. It is easy to conceive the difficulty which the loss of this valuable index occa sioned to the captain, who, however—and it redounds greatly to his skill and ability as a seaman, when we take into account that the space traversed without this impor tant adjunct to navigation was 2,700 miles of latitude — succeeded in bringing his vessel safely into port in the unprecedentedly short space of 10t days from London. Wootwicti, JULY 7.—ROYAL ARTILLERY.--Capt. Ormsb3's company (6th battalion), recently returned from St. John's, New Brunsw,ick, and Captain Crofton's company (7th battalion), and Captain Munday's com pany (3d battalion), from Canada, assembled at half past ten o'clock A.M. yesterday, on the barrack-field, for the Commandant's inspection.
