Mr. PHILLIPS, who had not been called into action for some time on account of the attraction of Der Freischutz, came forward on this occa sion, and acted and sung with his usual suc cess, in the part of Don Silvio, and his pupil Miss Ilmtvcy, in that of Floranthe. They were both very favourably received. The piece was rendered additionally attractive by the perform ance of Isidore by Miss PATON. The combined musical powers of this trio highly gratified the au dience ; Jonathan in England followed, and seems to have lost none of its laugh•exciting power. After this piece Mr. BARTLEY came forward to apolo gize for the absence of RAYNER, who had gone to fulfil an engagement at Tork, and whose name had accidentally been inserted in the bills of the day. Ile, therefore, bespoke the kindness of the audience in favour of Mr. TAYLEURE, who had undertaken the part of Jerry Blossom, at a very short notice. The audience, a very numerous one, assented willingly, and Mr. TAYLEURE, an actor of real merit, acquitted himself to their satisfaction. THEATRICAL.—II is said in the theatrical circles that WEBER'S Opera of Preziosa is shortly to be produced at Covent Garden Theatre, with all its German splendour ; and that another of WunEa's Operas, Abul Hassan, which contains a most beautiful polacca, with violoncello accom paniments, will likewise shortly be produced at Drury-lane. An author of celebrity has just completed an Opera for the Covent Garden Ma nagement, the story founded on an incident iu the reign of FREDERICK the Great which has never been dramatised. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Fo reign Office, Downing-street, from Trinidad, of the 9th of August, and from the Bahamas of the the 12th, but they contain no intelligence of im portance. All was tranquil at both places at the respective dates above mentioned. Mr. PLAN TA has returned to town from Has tings, and transacts business daily at the Foreign Office. The Prince de POLIGNAC, who arrived lately at Paris, is not the Ambassador at this Court, but his brother. Prince Es•rEnnazv and suite left Chandos House this morning for Doncaster Races. We understand that this Meeting, certainly the first in the country of Turf Sports, will be more bril liantly and numerously attended than ou any former occasion. Mr. ROTHSCHILD, of Paris, i 3 stated in the Journal des Dartls to have just purchased the chateau of Malmaison. The silk trade in Taunton is remarkably brisk. There is another new factory to be immediately built by a Gentleman of London, who has pur chased for that purpose an old factory and other property. The silk trade of Macclesfield, we are assured, is In a most prosperous state, and a general ad vance_of wages to the work-people employed has taken place.—( Blackburn Mail.) A most curious document, elegantly written in the Arabic character, under the signet and sign manual of the Dey of ALGIERS, has been brought to England by the Humotne. On Tuesday next, being St. Matthew's Day/ according to annual custom, the LORD MATult, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will attend Divine Service at Christ Church. After a sermon by the Rev. P. WA 11D, they will repair to the Great Hall, in Christ's Hospital, where two orations will be de livered, in Latin, by T. BitowNE; in English, by E. WILLis ; the two Senior Scholars of the Grammar School. The remains of the late Countess FITZ WIL• LIAM, Baroness Ponsonby, having been removed from Wentworth House on Thursday the 9th in stant, rested at the George Inn, Stamford, on Friday night; and next morning the funeral ca valcade proceeded to Marholm,nearPeterborough, where the body was deposited in the family vault of the noble family to which the Countess had been for so short a time allied. Her Lady ship's marriage with Earl Fitzwilliam took place in Ireland on the 21st July, 1823. She was born in October, 1749. A man on the verge of 60, and whose wife had been buried about a fortnight before, happened to entertain some female acquaintances at his house on the First Fair night at Dundee, when be jocularly asked, which of them would be his housekeeper ?—a distant name for " wife." A young girl of 19 expressed her entire willingness to undertake the charge ; and the courtship becoming serious, they have already been married. ANOTHER CHILI) STorm4.—On Thursday last a poor woman, named Margaret Craven, residing in Milford-place, Tottenham-court-road, who had .just recovered from her lying-in, accom panied by some friends, went to the Pancras New Church to have the female infant christened. After the christening the party adjourned to a public-house in the vicinity, and partook of some ale, which, from the weak state of the poor woman, affected her head, and ;he became rather giddy : she, however, recovered, and was ac companied by her friends as far as the end of How laud-street, Tottenham-court-road, when she was accosted by a woman, extremely well ,dress ed, and of genteel appearance, who observed, cc My dear woman, the child's shoe will fall off." The strings tth e then discovered were loose, and I she asked the lady to tie them. The lady took the infant into her arms, and at the moment a friend . of Mrs. Craven's pass ed, to whom she turned round to speak, and looking for her infant to receive it into her arms, the agonized mother was horror-struck at finding the woman had dis appeared with the infant. Her loud cries and shriek s a tt rac t e d the attention of the pass en g ers, who, on learning the particulars of her story, went in every direction, bat could obtain no trace of the unnatural monster or the infant. The poor woman was carried home in a state of distraction, and yesterday, althou gh every possible inquiry had been made, the child had not been recovered. The parish officers have had the circumstances notified throughout the parish, but as yet, the in quiries set oa foot by them have proved fruitless, FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

WORCESTER MUSIC MEETING. \roues:yr Elt, SEPT. 16.—The Meeting of the Triple Choirs of Worcester, Gloucester, and Hereford, being to be held at the former place for the present year, commenced yesterday. The beautiful state of the weather, the close ofapropitious har vest, ' , and the expectations which have been held out that the Meeting is to excel all the former efforts of the united Choirs, have created for it an unusual interest ; so that the appearance of the town is exceedingly animated and gay. The perform. antes commenced with a service in the Cathedral yesterday, in which was introduced the " Dettingen Te Dem," and a 3lis cellaneous Concert at the College Hall in the evening. The list of performers comprises a far greater body of talent, as well in the vocal as instrumental departments, than has hitherto as sisted at these festivals. Mrs. Salmon, Miss Stephens, Miss Travis, Roue de Ilegnis and her husband, Brahani, Vaughan, Knyvett, Bellamy,&c. appeared in the former; and the latter is graced by the names of Cramer, Mori, Lindley, Dragonetti, 1 and a large portion of the most celebrated instruments in the ' Metropolis. We understand that the public are indebted to the spirited exertions of Mr. Charles Clarke, the Conductor, for these extensive improvements in the formation of the vocal corps and band.—The Concert was attended by a large audience, al though not a sufficient one to fill the immense building in which it is held. The College Hall is of great antiquity, Gothic, and without a ceiling, the roof being of great altitude. Some of the forte instrumental effects are very fine, but the room is, on the whole, not advantageous to the conveyance of sound.—The se lection was pleasing, without possessmg any striking features. Beethoven's fine Overture to Egmont, and the magnificent one of Mozart toll Flauto Magico, preceded the two Acts, and were executed with v i g our and precision. Miss Travis opened the Concert with the Scotch ballad of " Donald," some parts of which she sang with delighthil expression. Braham followed i e m e h w r e r n d u hi .n n r i se in an arduous composition Angels." There are some splendid pertain the song, and others of 'Bishop's to the " Batik of the that are feeble ; but liraham's singing increased the beauties and covered the defects; not, however, being faultless in itself. l i W , n le o ae r r e dh i h i a ighly than the greater' t Voree ste ttte advantage, llntiwe have also . singing was deservedly appreciated much could afford to appreciate hi s present exertions. M adarn r _ r. _ Madame sumzi de Begnis sang " Di piaetr" so as to enrapture th e di mo us encore. Her delicacy , li t a tu au di ence and cause an unani obuirable L. but to those who arilei and expression were truly di t ional effect produced by her intellilich eteuled 4° the great " t acting, the Concert room is not the place where she H ir es eminisatisfaction. It is Madame de Be , rni .-, 8 alone who has taught us to be thus dissati fled. pc Begnis gave sever a l of his•pieces 11- comic with rich humour, tend was twi ce encored. Mrs. Salmon sang "Di tanti palriti," an undertaking n she is certainly not successful aftere Pe and one in which ornament did " not appear to. to be The style of her e in keeping with the char acter of the subject, and she did . . not bestow upon it that tender. ness and grace which seem to have rendered it inimitable in the hands of that singer. Miss Stephens sang "Bid me discourse," with great applause, and also took part in linyvetee Glee, " There is a bloom." • ....•_:,..f. s'!" . r .1 4 \ . • d ( -1- , .: ,, ,,e;...- -.- ~ ,g ~....... ,;„..t. r„„.,„%.,.,..,•.0 ~,,:,..*,.......t.„ .. f.,*. . , ...

FREDERICK LAN DENY, late an officer in the French army, and HEN itv B. CARTER. Esq. (an English gentle m an), who had also held a command in the same service ; the former was attended by one of his own countrymen, whose name we could not learn, and the latter by a gentleman much celebrated in the lists of duelling. The choice of weapons having been previously made, the Frenchman appeared on the ground with a short sword for his friend, but Mr. Carter's second immediately took an objection, stating that he would not per. mit his friend to fight with inequality of odds ; as he was perfectly aware that Mr. Carte r did not know the use of the sword, it would be un fair to suffer him to contend with one who did ; pistols were the common arms of all duellists, not only in this country, , but on the continent, and therefore were on all sides unobjectionable. 'These arguments were, after some few struggles, admitted to be just; the ground was measured, the parties tired together, and were both in the same instant slightly wounded ; Mr. Carter received his antagonist's ball in the right arm, whilst his fire lodged in the calf of Mr. Landeny's leg.— The second of Mr. Carter then observed, that they had respectively shewn blood enough to prove that they were not deficient in courage, uud the affair was amicably adjusted.

For thou canst ills of time with ease repair, Alluring thy companion, SLEEP, to grace With some enlivining dream Hope's smiling face, And cheer the Wretch else waking to despair. With thee, dear semblance of the Grave, my mind Amid its various toils has found repose, Or if deny'd oblivious rest to find, Yet then reflection has allay'd my woes; Taught me to feel for hapless human kind, And calmly wait till Death the curtain'close.

Yesterday Mr. Martin, the Lottery Office.' keeper, appeared before the Loan MAYOR, and complained of one of the inspectors of the day patrol having improperly seized a placard belonging to him, and taken it to the Green yard. . Mr. Martin stated, that one of his men was carrying a pia. card through the streets on the carriage way, as lw was en titled to do, when the inspector came up, took his placard trout him, and lodged it in the Green-yard, where it was still de tained. Now he (Mr. Martin) wished to know whether his Lordship would sanction such a proceeding on the part of the officer ? The inspector declared, that Mr. Martin's man had misstat ed the circumstance. So far from his being in the act of walk ing, he was at the time standing on the pavement with the pole r esting on the ground, and thereby creating such an ohst7ue tins> as there was not the least doubt he was authorised 'by the Act in removing. But it was his opinion, on which he should act until he was corrected, that no person had any right what ever to carry placards through the streets on poles. This was the view which many of the Magistrates took of the clause in the new Street Act, which he had been specially appointed to see enforced. Mr. Martin denied that the law warranted proceedings to well an extent. The CHIEF CLERK then read the clause of the new City Street Act, and observed there was not the least doubt that the framers intended it to remove such things out of the streets en tirely,—The words applicable were," If any person shall hold, set, or place any pole or placard on or in the said footway, &C -m) as in any way to cause any obstruction or impediments on the foot-ways," &e. ,St.c. and it goes on to direct that they shall be liable to be seized and taken to the theen-yard. Mr; Martin contended, from the wordsabovs.eited, that the Act contemplated only men standing on' the foot-pavement flow could a man .'walking along with the foot , ' passengers, he ' said to create an ehstruction, when the very words implied a • peraon or thing fixed upon a spot so as to create a stoppage. If these placards were forbidden, a mode of advertising, very important to trade, would be stopped, and more than one hun dred of men deprived of bread, 'rime LORD Mavott. said he had received many letters from any opinion tradesmen who were shopkeepers, complaining of the placards and the bearers as nuisances. if Le letters complained also that the new uniform ordered to be worn by the thy Oilicers was ' to h e o a " r e ry ver lila g ca iv r i c n ls g th-rough the highly prejudicial ; and stated as an instance, that it enabled n a j e t s iL l' i l , ei r re e e se e( i in l e l il l tli t n a cte s iti a new the placard hearers to discern them at a considerable . distance and get out of the way, and that when they had gone by, they i n t d h e e r understood, that il : i l t i o e n t i : z o w l e t t l i t i e i s tri a :l: niv:t woulde walk (the placard bearers) resumed their stations.
