A Meeting of the Magistrates of the County of Galway was held at Loughtea, on Thursday last --the High Sheriff in the Chair. We are sorry to observe, that their important testimony is again Put before the Public, to prove, " that the spi rit of DISAFFECTION has been most rapidly spread ing, with increased mischief and audacity, through every part of this County (Galway.)" This authentic testification of the rapid spread ing of Disaffection gives its deep concern, and Will, we are certain, make an impression on the public in general, not less serious and inte resting. We will not quartet with those who Prefer their o►vn notions to ours, respecting► the nature of the troubles which prevail in the County ^ f G►lwny—the public will chose for themselves ; btu any thing which we could propose to our selves, from tl►e weight of contemporary authority, is folly and amply afforded by this unania►oos Resolution Of the Magistrates of the County of Galway, viz.—" that, since the meeting of the Niagistrates of Athenry, we find the spirit of Di•affection has been most rapidly spreading, with increased mischief and audacity, through every p•rt of this County." We have no objec tion to any vocabulary which political taste may adopt, in speaking of the events that are poising in Galway ; but, for our parts, whatever may he the mantle of words thrown over things, we shall vest content with those which the Magistrates of Galway have supplied, and, without any conten tion on the point, submit to their judgment, and believe with them, abut all the outrageous pro ceedings going on in ti►e quarter alluded to, ate owing to the spirit of Disaffection which has Leen Most rapidly spreading. The Noblemen and Gentlemen, on this occa sion, conceived that " it would be impossible for the Magistrates of the County, in its present situation, to attend on all occasions When it may be necessary for the troops to act ;". and they, therefore, clime to the resolution of making earn est application to his Majesty's Government, to request " that they will either appoint Special Constables, unconnected with the County of Gal- Way, for each military station ; or empower such Officers as the General of tl►e District may ap- Point, to act as Megistr4tes of the County of Galway, until the present disturbances shall be put down." They further enjoined the Land bolder, of the County, and besought them, " not to yield to the terms attempted to be imposed on them by the Insurgents, in •the letting of their ittnds and the management of their concerns, but to hold out, &c." Certain stations for detachments of troops were tecommended by a Committee, appointed for that Purpose, and to confer with General O'Loughlin and Colonel Browne, which were unanimously agreed to. The Committee consisted of the High Sheriff, his Grace the Archbishop of 'foam, Lord Viscount Gort, Lord Cloubroek, the Right Hon. Ares e y Fitzgerald, James Daly, Esq. M.P , Sir John Burke, Bart., William French, John Kir wan, j;in., Arthur St. George, and James Lam bert, Esqrs. The following, not withstamting the presence of a strong military force in the County of Galway, are a few of the outrages which continue to be committed :—On Friday night, the house of Mr. O'Reilly, of Colesrminstown, between Tuarn and Loughrea (formerly Mr. French's), was burnt to the ground, because, as the banditti [dieted, it *as intended to convert it into a barrack; and on Sunday night James Hardiman Burke, Esq. De- Piny Mayor of Galway, was attacked at his own kesidence, St. Cleran's, near Dunsandle, and mira culously escaped assassination. A letter from a Gen tleman of very high respectability in the County of Galway, says of this diabolical transaction— °. A most atrocious outrage was committed last s ight. J. U. Burke was fired at, at his own gate "--seven shots wete discharged at him, luckily without effect.", These are melancholy examples tif the alienation of the peasantry of the once peace able County of Galway from humanity, as well as horn every sense of law and moral order—examples hich,being but a small portion of many equally di abolical, demonstrate the necessity of vigour on the Part of the Executive Government, such as is now Pursuing, and which will not compromise with the losurgent Ribbonmen, while a ruffian of their de. testable fraternity is supposed to preserve a weapon in his possession of an offensive description. No tniddle or temperate course can now restore peace ar order in the disturbed Co u nties. The attack which has been noticed on Peruse i t ) "dge, in t h e C ounty o f G a l way , was un d erta k en an immense number of the Ribbonmen ; and "e defend ers o f t h at vet y assa il a bl e mans i on, w h ose bravery and resolution repelled such a ferocious crowd, prepared in every possible way for success, deserve every tribute that can be paid to such "oduct, and are well entitled t o the th an ks o f t he country.

MUSIC. • " Untwisting all the chains that tie " The hidden soul of harmony." SY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ. APOLLO, regretting his favour io long Had Italy grac'd with the Genius of Song, Less partial to seem, cast his eyes all around, Resolving to raise a new Master of Sound. To Germany then be gave HANDEL sublime, Whose strains will be heard 'till the death of old Time, Those strains that, resistless, pathetic arid grand, Comprise the whole scope for the Voice and the Baad. Ai'oiio this prodigy eiew'd with a smile, And deemed him e'en worthy of BarrAts's fam'd Isle, That Isle where alone can true FBeaDoM be found, While Carols of Loyalty echo around. When HANDEL had long his full honours maintain'd, And supreme o'er the regions of Harmony reign'd, APOLLO decreed he from Earth should remove, To preside o'er the Choir of THE NlusEs above. Many years had elaps'd, asid,the God wish'd to know If HANDEL retain'd his due honours below : Of skill instrumental he found a rich store, To give with precision and grandeur the Score, But a Songstress ,was wanting whose puw'rs might impart Those strains that at once find the way to the heart. The God then to prove that to HANDEL belong All the wonders of Harmony, Melody, Song, His fame to complete, and to honour him more, Such a Songstress inspir'd on his own native shore : Then MAitA came forth, and his Shade to rejoice, all his aims fur the BAND and the VorcE. With such sweetness she sung, with such judgment and fire, That Envy, surpriz'd, could but hear and admire ; Sublime and pathetic, so strong, yet refin'd, The ear was euraptar'd, exalted the mind : APOLLO approving, the Crown on her plac'd, As EMPRESS of Music, EXPRESSION, and TASTE.

PROBATIM EsT. BENJAMIN WEST, Esta'..-.-We feel deep regret in announcing the death of_this Gentleman, whose honourable life terminated 'last night between twelve and one o'clock, at his house in Newman. street. He bad retched the 82d year of his age, and, till within the last few - iiionths, had enjoyed good health altogether, through the whole of his meritorious career. Of his genius and learning in the Art of Painting, it is needless to speak, es his innumerable works are to be found not only in this country, but in most parts of the citilized world. He war a native of America, but lett that country in early life, and of .course before he could be imbued with those political principles which produced the Revolution that unhappily separated the two countries. Mr. WE S T soon proceeded to Italy, where he studied the excel.; lencies of the Old Masters, and the remains of Ancient Greek Sculpture. After gathering all that could instruct his mind, and animate his-ge nius, be produced those works which will render his name immortal in the Annals of Art. --t-, That our late excellent Sovaltetcra had the fullest confidence in Mr. IVEST'S rectitude and loyalty is evident by the warm and unceasing patronage with which hie Majesty honoured him through life. Gratitude • towards his Royal Patron was animated by sincere affection. Mr. WEST is a memorable and, perhaps, an unparalleled instance of great powers which did not expand themselves in the meridian of life, but burst fortb at a periud, when the mind seeks for repose and resigns all the cares of professional ambition. His works, within the last few years, were characterised by every quality that gives excellence to the Art, and were animated by all the fire and vigour of youth. We had the pleasure of knowing him many years, and have witnessed many proofs of the mildness of his disposition, the suavity of his manners, his readiness to communicate instruc tion in his Art, and his general promptitude to render kind offices, and to afford protection to untrientled genius. We may confidently say, that this sincere tribute to a Gentleman of distinguish ed talents and worth, is the pure effusion of re gret, and of esteem for his character end memory. ROYAL ACADEMY.II3 the unavoidable haste with which we yesterday wrote our Report of Mr. SOAWE's Lecture on the preceding night we omit ted one essential passage, which our reverence for our late departed Monarch, and in justice to the learned and loyal Professor, we deem it proper to notice. A large Drawing was introduced, shew ing all the different buildings in the Royal Gar dens at Kew.—For these examples, many.of pure classical taste, Mr. SOANB observed, that we are indebted to the munificence of the. Late Princess Dowager of 'WALES, and his late MAJESTY, the Patron of Arts and Sciences, the Founder of the ROYAL ACSDEMY, and the Father of his People. It was highly gratifying to observe that this tri bute to the Memory of our late beloved Monarch was received with such applause as to prove that the audience in general were influenced by the same loyal feelings that so evidently animated the learned Professor. HANOVIE-Z•SCLUARR. The VOCAL CONCERTS commenced last night in these Rooms, under the judicious management of Messrs. BARTLEMAN, the KNYVETTS, and GRBATOREX. The Selection was well chosen, and was admirably performed by a numerous and excellent Band, conducted by Mr. F. CRAMER. The Vocal Performers were BAIL. TLEMAN, VAUGHAN, HAwBS, Mrs. SALMON, Miss TRAVIS, and Miss STEPHENS. We have not room to enter into particulirs. In consequence of the sudden death of Mr. BOCHSA'S tether, his New Grand Military Concerto for the Harp was unavoidably postponed, and the substitute was a trio for two violins and a double bass, finely executed. BARTLEMAN also, whose reco very is not complete, was obliged to omit " Angel of Life." There was no ittiisk, however, of ill health in what be was able to sing. The Earls of DERBY and DARNLEY, with whet Noble Visitors, the Archbishop of YORE., and a lathe audience, I were present, and abundant in applause. SIM' NEWS. RthSGATR, MARCH 10 —Several parts of a wreck, including a lower mast, 63 feet long by 18 inches in diameter, have been picked up ; also a small anchor and l 2 fathoms of 8 inch cable, sup posed to belong to the sloop Lord Wellington, of Poole.

HARWICH, MARCH 10 —The Dundee, Holtues, bound to Davis' Straits, has run on board of the Princess Charlotte, Berwick smack, and she sunk in nine fathoms water, about a mile above the Hook of the Gunfleet.

The. crew were sived, bit the vessel has gone to pieces. - The sloop Dove, of Cowes, from Emsworth, ran on shore, four miles West of Dieppe, %rift' only two hands on board; she is expected to be got off with little damage. FOR THE SUN. MR. kiln a Citizen of London, and I happened, in my way from the Isle of liright, to pass through Southampton the Election was just commencing, and my curiosity tempted me to stay one day, in order to hear the speeches of the Candidates. At the risk of my life I forced my self into the Hall. Mr. CHAMBRRLANE was first proposed, and I never could suppose so violent speech, full of such personal invective, could have been uttered even on the Hustings at ‘Vestmin ster. Sir WILLIAM Da CRESPIGNY was neat pro• posed; though I differ with him in sentiments, I acknow'edge he made a manly, temperate, and energetic speech, and perfectly in the style of a gentleman. Mr. DUTTON was then proposed, and though he did not seem to be in the habit of speaking, yet the crowd unfairly determined at events not to he4r him. Sir WILLIAM, lam told, is the favourite Candidate, and gives no ribbands. I saw a party force them from one of the parties of the other Candidates, carry them under some windows, tear them to pieces, and tread them under foot. l mention this fact, earnestly hoping that the Candidates, during the many contests •whielf-are now taking place, will refrain from dis tributing ribbauds, a token for violence and dis order. CIVIS. BATH CITY ELECTION Came on yesterday morning, when the two old Menthe's,. Lord JOHN THYNNI3 and COL CHARLES PALMER, were elected without opposition--Lo►d John being proposed by Mr. Alderman Togwell, and seconded by MT. Alderman Clark the Colo nel was propo , cd by Mr. Alderman Crook, and seconded by Mr. Meyler, the Senior Member of ,tire. Common Council. Some previous occur rences- bad created •an unusual interest to this Election, which it is now useless to enter upon ur to endeavour to explain. LORD JOHN THYNNB briefly and warmly re „turns(' thanks tot-the honour thus repeatedly con ferred upon •him and it will long continue his wide to merit the good opinion of his Consti. menu ; and to endeavour to do all the service its Lia power for the benefit of the city. He was fullowed by his worthy and gallant Colleague, COLONEL PALMER, in nearly the following words : " In returning you my warmest thanks for the honour you have again 'eonferi‘d upon me, I wished to abstain front any allusion to the events tvbi, h have taken placci; but I owe s 'nut only to those to whom I am indebted for my present re turn, bat to my Fellow-Citizens at large, to endeavour to prevent the recurrence of that danger to their Liberties and ludependener, to which the late Contest had exposed them. " The question of this Contest has been neither snore nor less, than whether the Representation in Parliament, of this great and populous City, should have been handed over, and made subservient to the will of the Crown and the Adutins. tration, or, that the Members of the Body Corporate, acting in behalf of their Fellow Citizens, should be lett to the fres exercise of their own discretion in the choice of their Repre sentatives. " Whatever the motive which has put an end to this strug gle, I am sincerely happy to be spared the necessity of an exposure, which a sense of duty to those who have so nobly stood forward in defence of their own honour and character, as the Guardians of the Rights of their Fellow-Citizens, would have compelled me to gave made; and which, had it been necessary, no consideration whatever should have in duced me to decline. But 1 cannot dismiss the subject with out appealing to those amongst you, fur whom I entertain the most sincere and unfeigned respect, but who, am sorry to say, have been made the unconscious agents in an attempt, as unjust and prejudicial to your own interests, as improper in itself, and subversive of the dearest rights and privileges of our Constitution.—Consider, Gentlemen, the sacred trust committed to your care: that, as Members of this Corpora tion, it is your bout►den duty to watch over and defend those liberties fur which your ancestors have fought and bled; and to suffer nu consideration whatever, of private interest or at tachment, to interfere with the discharge of that duty you owe to yourselves, your fellow-citizens, and your country. " For myself, Gentlemen, however anxiuus I may have been for the honour of represeuting you, I have had no other object in obtaining it than the performance of my duty. " Looking to my profession, and the situation I have so long held about the Personage who now fills the Throne, I think if any Member of Parliament could stand excused in bring the servant of the Crown, it would he myself ; and as far as peisolial feelings sad attachment could influence me, there ;tie those who well know that nutting but the stronger ties ut duty to you and my country could have prevented it. " But indebted fur thy seat entirely to your good opinion, my sole amititoni is to deserve the confidence you have placed in me ; and whilst I hope that I have attended to the interests of My native City upon ell occasions wherein. my services have bee❑ called tot, I leave to my political conduct, and the te em ds of the votes which I have given, to prove my indepen dents* of all parties, but that ot the Constitution and my Country. - The 1-1811 Was filled beyond all former prece dent, ants resounded with acclamations at the close of every sentence of the Colonel's Address, which was deliveted' with a flow of oratory seldom sur passed.
