A new piece, from the pen of Mr. Maddison withs was produced on Thursday last. It met a highly favourable reception, which it well de ,,ervtd, both from its intrinsic merit and the creditable r he Tanner in which it was put upon the stage. . 4 141 "gue is graceful and pointed, and the plot Inge -4113u5. It turns chiefly upon the character of Frn beelea, Princess Regent of Portugal, who has married . '°%' her rank. She is a most affectionate wife; her jealous in the extreme of any interference with rPower ; whenever, therefore, her husband asks a piece for a friend, or any other political favour, his eies are thwarted. Seeing this, he pretends to be Th e e nemy of a prob:ge of his, whose advance he desires and by this feigned hostility °l) tains. Thi s person, exceedingly well re- P4 sented by Mr. W. Farren, jun., not being in the eplitel., is equally amazed at his friend's opposition, li r h i , own preferment, and thus sever al novel and itlllant situations arise. An impertinent place hu nter ~d aa 3 excellently ac t e d by Mr. Compton, a gentle man e , -naie talent is well known to be of the first class.

MURDER OF THE DUKE OF HAMILTON'S GAME XEEPER.—Lasc evening information was received at the Metropolitan Police-office, Great Scotland-yard, that a P ..,r a u rt t y ait named Joseph Kirby, a native of London, who W " gamekeeper to the Duke of Hami lton, had been k murdered by some person, who had succeeded l a effecting his escape. It appears that a farmer, tl atecd Richard Dick, on Wednesday night last, was exercising a horse in the highway between Blantyre and Hamilton, when near Crothshield's-road, about flrt) , yards off Stony-meadow Turnpi ke, i his boat was called to a person dr essed like a common ~o9urer, who was carrying a g un over his shoulder. , his person was closely followed by the deceased, who a ppeared anxious to overtake the other man. Mr. Dick, af ter proceeding about a mile along the road, turned i Is horse back again, and near the place where he first 541 v the deceased, he again found him, but lying on the I . l ' ll :std in a pool of blood, pouring from a wound in . his "". Life was quite extinct, the poor fellow having be en lstk,l s:o th t , t y hrough the heart. The Sheriff and Procurator immediately started to the spot, and from the in made, there is little doubt entertained that h e raan, whoever he was, who carried the gun, was the Party who destroyed the life of Kirby.

He would have the southern division of the churchyard at once closed. That was not a subject on which he only now began to feel interested. He had been !siding wish ret4rence to the memorial presented to the L•eel Mayor for the closing of the churchyard. The Lord Mayor on that occasion accompanied him to the churchwardens and the rector, none of whom were in; but he hoped to see him at the meeting that day, so much interest had he been pleased to express on the sub ject. As for any fear of doing what was illegal, he thought the time was come when, to use the language of a great man, they must exorcise a vigour beyond the law. Once their city was in flames, and then the people exerted themselves in pulling down their neighbours' houses, an act which was felony by the law, but it was done for the purpose of checking the flames. He asked now, when men's lives were at stake, when the disease was encroaching on them, whether they were to be delayed by the technicalities of the law in preventing what was a grievous wrong up the whole parish ? He moved, as an amendmerWthat henceforth the south division of the churchyard be closed, and that no interments take place in it on any pretence whatever. Mr. GREEN, in seconding the amendment, said that, living just opposite the churchyard, his bedroom was visited in the morning with an effluvium which was disgusting. He complained that the whole atmosphere in Bishopsgate•street stunk. No such smell existed in Wormwood-street or Liverpool-street, and he attributed its existence in Bishopsgate-street to the churchyard. Mr. Teem said it might seem unreasonable to close the portion of the ground which was allotted to the poor, while they left it in the option of those who could pay more to bury still in the neighbourhood. It was striking at a branch only, when they ought to lay the axe to the root of the Upas tree. He would have it all closed up, whatever might be the effect upon fees; for it was a doc trine preached from that pulpit that duty was binding upon them, however rt might affect their worldy interests. Ile felt himself obliged to send his children fifteen miles into the country to stop the horrible stench which poi soned the air in consequence of the barbarous practice of burying the dead among the living. The Act of Parlia ment, it was true, required that five feet of earth should be laid above the coffin; but he believed it was daily vio lated in the absence of persons who had any authority to see it carried out. In the vaults lead was of no use, and the arched vaults above were of little use, so lo n g as between those two pillars (pointing to the south of the church under the organ gallery) two trap-doors opening into the crypt existed, ill suited to keep down the stench, and though concealed with matting, not the less destructive to those who worshipped in the church. He would never allow his children to worship in a place so infested with plague. They all knew that a celebrated surgeon the other day opened hie bedroom window, whicLelooked into a graveyard where two graves were opened. The gentleman felt himself on the sudden seized with the poison, and from that moment he concluded himself a dead man. Mr. Aston Key died in twenty-four hours after. He said he was sorry that the House of Commons, or others, should have ever trusted to the evidence of grave-diggers, whose ex aggerated statements had thrown an air of the ridiculous over the report of the Committee of that House upon the subject. But let them state the truth, express a strong opi nion, and he defied any one to come forward in the face of the press of this country, and claim the right of burial amidst the masses of the living. He moved, as an amendment—" That it is highly dangerous to the living to bury the dead in the midst of the population; that all interments in the churchyard of this perish, and in the vaults under the church, be henceforth discontinued; and that a committee be appointed to carry out the objects of this resolution, and to take every measure to enforce them." Mr. T. HALL seconded the resolution. The LORD MAYOR, who had entered the vestry during the meeting, and was at once cordially greeted by all pre sent, now rose to address them. He said—Mr. Church. warden and gentlemen, I owe you an apology for appear ing here to interfere with your local matters, but I felt it no more than my duty, not only as Lord Mayor, but also as ono of the Members for the city of Loudon, to come for the purpose of ascertaining what your senti ments are upon these subjects, as I am now about to attend a meeting of the Board of Health in the West-end. In the meantime I have called attention to the subject as to which you are met by a circular letter sent round to every churchwarden in the City, with a view to strengthening their hands in their endeavour to remedy the evil. Although the law will not strictly allow us to proceed with the removal of this nuisance, still I have just received a copy of a recent Act of Par liament, which, at least, renders it questionable whether we shall not be able to deal with it. I felt it but re spectful, in consequence of a memorial which was pre sented to me in reference to the present state of the churchyard, and understanding that you were to hold a meeting today on that subject—l say I thought it re spectful to come here to know what were your sentiments, and what you proposed to do, for I am determined to use all means to induce the authorities to accede to your wishes.—(Hear, hear.) Any resolution which you may come to, although not all potent, will yet go as far as it is possible for such a resolution to go towards attaining the object you have in view. I will not say more, and I cannot continue longer amongst you, as I must now at tend a meeting of the Board of Health. His Lordship then left the church, after distributing several copies of his circular letter, a copy of which we annex • "Guildhall, Aug. 28, 1849. " Gentlemen,—l am directed by the Committee of Health, appointed by the corporation of London to in • form you that the strongest representations have been made to them by the offleur of h.alth of the City, that the interment of the dead in the confined churchyards is in his judgment most dangerous to the health d the in habitants of this City, and c alculated to propagate the prevailing epidemic, which appears to be on the increase. " The committee desire me to say that they look with the greatest confidence to the public spirit and philan thropic feeling of the arochial authorities to suppsess this practice in your parish during the prevalence of the disease. " I am directed, at the same time, to refer you to the provisions of the Act of the 12th and 33d Victoria, cap. 111, on this subject.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "11. A. MEREWETHER. " To the churchwardens of the pariah of --." Some conversation ensued as to the amalgamation of the various resolutions. The CHURCHWARDEN said ho should be happy to be strictly bound not to permit more burials in the church yard or the vaults, and he should do all he could to obey such a resolution.—(Near, hear.) Mr. Horootsp at length, by leave of the meeting, withdrew his resolution, and substituted the following:— " That in the opinion of this vestry the public health is lamentably endangered by the continued practice of in terring the dead in the parochial burying-grounds and in the vaults under the church; and that all interments in the churchyard of this parish and in the vaults under the church be henceforth discontinued; and that a com mittee be appointed to carry out the resolution, with full powers to take every measure for its enforcement." The CHURCHWARDEN said, before putting the resolu tion he wished to say it would give him great pleasure to put that resolution in force. During the time he had acted as churchwarden his attention had been care fully given to the churchyard, with a view to the sani tary condition of the neighbourhood. As to the shed at the bottom of the yard, he was called on to clear it out by the Commissioners of Sewers, for the reception of bodies, if necessary. The other amendments having been withdrawn, the resolution was passed without a dissenting voice. A committee was then appointed, consisting of the rector, the churchwardens, Messrs. Hopgood, Owden, Hall, Tagg, Gilpin, and Taylor, to carry out the reso lution. Mr., JAYNE, Still-alley, Bishopgate• street, came to complain of a nuisance which had been occasioned by the Commissioners of Sewers. He said they came on Friday fortnight and pumped out the contents of the cesspools in the court into the sewer. After seven days they came again and turned out the contents of the cesspools into the middle of the court, and left it there all Friday and Saturday, the stench being intolerable. He himself at the desire of the neighbours, went to different quar ters on Saturday night, applying to have it removed, and at last they came. When they came to remove it, how ever, instead of carrying it away, they lifted the flag pavement, dug a hole, and buried it in the court. No sickness or disease was existing in the court up to this time; but on Sunday morning, a man living in the alley was seized with cholera, and taken to the hospital, where he died in a few hours. his children were seised with cholera; anothe r man with s ever e diarr hea; two children in the n ext house died ; and of his (eUxirsiejda,Yonnee'6c)hoiwldnwfaasuatialyke where no sickness previously n with cholera, but recovered with great difficulty. He felt it right to expose this disgraceful conduct of the Commissioners. The meeting then separated. 130 i OLI'IPS, 13IsHOPSGATE. Pursuant to a requisition addressed to the rector and churchwardens, a vestry meeting was held on Thursday in the church, Bishopegate-street, to take into consider ation whether some arrnngements could not be made to prevent further interments in the churchyard and in the vaults under the parish church. The v. Dr. RUSSELL the rector, occupied the chair, and expressed his sorrow that a pre-engagement of an important character would make it necessary for him to quit the meeting early. Indeed he would have asked the churchwardens to postpone the meeting to another day, it he had not been afraid that to some it might seem like a want of interest in a subject which at present was all-important. In respect to that subject, he might be allowed to state that they might discuss it from noon to midnight. Mr. METCALFE HooPGOOD rose to order. lie said it was quite in order for the rector to apologise for his non attendance, but he hoped that nothing would fall from him to prejudice a di-cussion which was still to be held, or to prejudge a statement which he (Mr. llopgood), as bringing the subject before them, had yet to make. Dr. RUSSELL said if after discussion they should ap point a committee, as the rector and churchwardens would probably be members ex officio, he would render the parishioners all the service he was capable of, and indeed do everything in accordance with their wishes.— ( clear, hear.) He hoped they would allow him to state two things before leaving the meeting. The first was, that in consequence of communications received, the guardians had prohibited on the 22d of August last the burial of paupers in the churchyard. Again, he wished to remind them of an Act of Parliament which very re cently received the Royal assent, and a copy of which was sent him by the Board of Health, the other requiring a detailed statement from him of all the deaths aad bu rials which took place in the parish. The Rev. Gentle man, after deprecating anything like difference or disa greement between himself and the parishioners, then retired from the meeting. Mr. JAMES R. CARR, churchwarden, then took the chair. Mr. Hommel) said it was no intention of his to use one word at all offensive to the rector or any other gentleman in the meeting. He was afraid that the rector was about to introduce to them a statement relative to the guardians, which be was sure must have misled the meeting if left unexplained. It was in conse quence of fears he entertained of such a statement being made that he had taken the unusual course of sending round a circular to the parishioners. He trusted that the position he had taken up with regard to the sanitary movement would seem the less out of course since the ward had done him the honour of electing him a com missioner of sewers; and, in regard to the more imme diate subject of their meeting, he appeared before them as one having business premises that looked into the churchyard, so as to have been compelled to become an unwilling witness of the proceedings in that place. Ile was sorry to say he had seen transactions in the church yard for many years which were a disgrace, he would not say to the rector, or the churchwardens, or any in dividual whatever, but to the system of burial in the heart of large towns. Since the public agitation on the subjt ct began he had from time to time received com munications, and only that morning others had come to him containing details of a most disgusting cha racter. A t that meeting, however, he said he was de termined to disclose no details for the mere purpose of excitement. In consequence of representations which had reached him, he said his attention had for some time been called to a pit in the churchyard. He saw the pit, and he was told that it remained open for the reception of bodies for days and days together. He did not believe the report, and he therefore called the inspector of police, and with him and others proceeded to examine the pit. They had not removed more than two or three feet of earth when they came to a coffin. The churchwarden who should knowingly per mit this proceeding was liable to a heavy penalty. Whether he knew of it be could not say; but he believed that there was not more than two feet and a half of earth upon that coffin—a circumstance which was posi tively prohibited under penalty by the City of London Sewers Act. He was told, however, that in the pit one, two, or three were piled one upon another, if so many were brought in one day, and then five or six feet of eat th were thrown over them, to be all removed, except a few inches, for the interment of others next day. That was &proceeding which was unwholesome, and prohibited under penalty. Any opinion which he might give as to the unhealthy character of these circumstances would be of little consequence; he depended on the learning and skill, and research, of such gentlemen as ho saw before him—as Dr. Ramsbottom and others. Dr. Adam t_lark said—" Every man should know that the gas emitted from putrid flesh, and especially from the human body, is not only unfriendly to, but destructive of human life." But whilst he was making examinations in the churchyard he was attracted by an unusual ap pearance in the shed at the end of the churchyard. He inquired what was there, and ascertained that it was the corpse of one who bad died of the cholera. Yet exactly over that shed containing the dead body were the Ethel burga Schools, at one of the windows of which were three or four little girls amusing themselves, uncon scious of the poison they were inhaling. Yet it was a familiar fact among medical gentlemen, that children breathe nearly twice as quick as adults, and about twice as often; so that their blood receives a double dose of the poison inhaled. These poor children, for whom the parishioners paid their guineas, were sent there for secular and mural education; and, unfortunately, they were now obliged to look upon them in circumstances the most fatal to their existence. He said, he bad lisoned the other day with great profit to a popular lecture, delivered by Mr. Grainger on the sanitary condition of the metropolis; and from that lec ture he learned that medical men knew, months ago, in what districts the cholera would appear, if it visited London. The lecturer, on that occa sion, brought out a large map, partly coloured black, and traced his finger over a certain dotted line, saying that exhibited the progress of the cholera, arid that hoe he remarked, invariably paused in the neighbourhood of graveyards. It was not one division of the churchyard only, but altogether it was in a state which made the toleration of it any longer impossible. They had it on good authority, and their own senses convinced them, that dead bodies emitted gases of the most deadly de scription to human life, and they ought not to allow in terments in the City any longer. Ho was not to be stopped from preventing wrong by any consideration of ;ens, whether of 20/. or of 1,0001. He, therefore, was pressed by the circumstances to send a letter to the guardians, and also to the rector. The rector, in his usual kind way, sent him a reply, stating he would do all he could to remedy the evil complained of, pro vided it was found to be an evil. But he (Mr. Hop good) said he was not in that meeting to discuss whe ther the practice of intramural burials was an evil; ou that point ho had made up his mind. He on that oc casion waited on the board of guardians, when, after much discussion and some little difficulty, he got them to promise unequivocally that no more pauper burials should take place in the churchyard. He said, in mov ing in the meeting that day, his object, although imme diately local, extended to the system wherever practised of burying in large cities or towns. At the same time, he had no desire to interfere with vested rights; and he thought, while they must act in defiance of these imme diately, they could ultimately be compensated. The speaker then 'cad the resolutiou which he proposed for the adoption of the meeting. It affirmed the danger at tending intramural burials, and appointed a committee to inquire and report as to the best means of remedying the evil in that parish. Mr. BRIGGS, interrupting, asked him whether he sup posed they could hinder burying in the churchyard or under the church? He had a vault; and if any of his family were to die, did they suppose he would be hin dered from using his own vault by any resolution of the vestry? He advised them rather to apply to the House of Commons. Mr. HorGooD said the gentleman must know that the members of that asssembly were now engaged on the moors, and would be for some time. W hat he wished the vestry to do was, to make a strong declaration on the subject, not that he was such a fool as to suppose any resolution of theirs could override the law of the land, but he still believed that their opinion, strongly ex pressed, would go far to prohibit the churchwardens and the rector from encouraging such burials. He wished, in fact, such an expression of opinion /as would be a moral obstruction to the carrying out of the law. Why, when they knew the character of the gasses omitted from dead bodies, were they to permit, whatever it might cost, the interment of them longer in an over crowded church lard, or in the vaults under the 'church. Lead was of no aid in confining these gases—that was a popular delusion. Revelations were now made as to these leaden shells that were astounding. The gases puffed them out to the full extent, and, if not released, burst them with the report of a pistol. To prevent that, however, the sexton was employed in a process of what was called " tapping:" be made a puncture in the shell, so as to give vent to the gas into the vaults and the church overhead. Already the doings in the crypt of Bow Church were before the public; and why should they tolerate the nuisance any longer in the church where they were assembled ? As to the churchyard, perhaps gentlemen were not aware of the number of bodies deposited in it. He could give them on the authority of the parish books the details for the present year. In January there were buired 17, in February 17, in March 15, in April 12, in May 20, in June 9, in July 11, and in August 35, making in all 136 bodies deposited within that small space, which was comprised within the southern half of the churchyard. Yet the very shortest time allowed for the destruction of the human body was five years. The consequence therefore was that the bodies were placed within four or five feet of the surface. Then look to the neighbourhood they were in. There were neighbouring churchyards still more crowded than theirs was. In Spitalfiolels' burying-ground, he had reason for believing, although he bad not been able to ascertain the fact from their books, that as many as 50 bodies were being deposited weekly, and in Bethnal green as many as 100 a week. With 150 bodies added weekly to the corrupting mass now in the neighbour hood. how could the locality be healthy. It was asto nishing, that in spite of all d►fficulties, these should not be removed to beyond the precincts of the metropolis, which now contained no fewer than 250 burying grounds. He was sure that the parishioners, rather thaw endure the disease and death among their families at present, would compensate fur fees to the rector, or to the sexton, and give vaults elsewhere to those who now claimed them under the church. He concluded by moving the resolution which he had read. Mr. SCANBLER OwDEN, Common Councilman, se conded the resolution. He said he had heard one alter - tion, made in a petition to the Common Council, to the effect that since the 22d of August the guardians had renewed the burial of paupers in the churchyard. Was that true? The CEURCLIWARDEN—NO; it is not true. Mr. PARNELL could not agree with the resolutio❑ which had been moved. Instead of appointing a com• THE CIVIC CHATS.—The following gentlemen have been fixed on by the Court of Aldermen to be put to the choice of the Livery, to serve the office of Lord Mayor on Michaelmas Day:—Thomas Farncomb, Esq., alderman for the ward of Bassishaw ; John Musgrove, Esq., alderman for Broad-street ward; and William Hun ter, Esq., alderman for Coleman-street ward.

Br commanded a squadron at the cavalry affair of Usagre, where three French regiments were detested by the 3d Dragoon Guards. He retired on half pay unattached in 1843, but, like his old brother officer in arms, Colonel &awe% 12th Lancers, he declined retiring from the service.

TEE CAPTAINS' GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—We have authority for announcing that the Captains' Good Service Pension of 1501. per annum, which has been relinquished by Rear-Admiral Watts on his promotion, has been conferred on Captain John Car ter (1815), who was Midshipman of the Penelope at the blockade of Malta and the capture of Guillaume Tell, and who served as Lieutenant of the Leviathan at the battle of Trafalgar. The Colonelcy of the 19th Foot, vacant by the demise of Sir Warren Peacocks, has been conferred on Major General Charles Turner, commanding at Cork. The high character and accomplishments of the Major General, more than his foreign service, have earned for him this distinction. We believe Major:General Turner saw little war service after the campaign in Egypt and the capture of Martinique. 11e entered the arm y i n 179 5, o b ta i ne d hi s company in three years and a half, and was a Major in April, 1807. His subsequent promotions took place through the Brevets of June, 1814, July, 1830, and Nov., 1841. Major-General Robert B. Gabriel, C. 8., K.H., has succeeded to the Unattached pay of twenty five shil lings per diem, from fth August. This officer entered the service in 1797 ; was engaged in the Walcheren Expedition, subsequently proceeded to the Peninsula, and was employed on the Staff until the end of the war in 1814. elis, .. __te prim- foundation com e _'s A grand opera in three acts, Lodoiska, was performed for the first time at the Theatre Feydeau on the 18th July, 1791. It was Cherubini's first production in the French school of music, and exhibited the most perfeet contrast to his other works in the Italian style. The air of Varbel " Voyez la belle besogne" recalls the form of the buffo style of the period when it was written; all the rest is of an animated cast, of which Cherubini's genius had previously afforded no indication. There existed a strong rivalry at this period between the Opera Comique in the Rue Favart and that of the Rue Feydeau—in the animosity of conflicting struggle of interests the managers formed the strange idea of mutually injuring each other by producing works on the same subject. Kreutzer brought out Paul et Virginie at the Theatre Favart. The Feydeau must produce it also with the music of M. Lesueur. Cherubini then brought out the Lodoiska, and in less than a month afterwards the same opera ass produced in the Rue Favart, with music composed to it by Kreutzer. At the Feydeau La Caverne obtained a brilliant reception ; the managers of the old opera in stantly engaged Mehul to compose another Caverne for them, but this proved a wretched failure. Even from this contest, which was a reproach to the managers of the operas, were deduced interesting comparisons and obser vations as to the respective merits of artists. These comparisons, so to speak, commenced with the two Lodoiskas. Cherubini was always unfortunate in the se lection of his libretto, and in this instance it happened similarly, for, notwithstanding its popularity . all over the continent, a more uninteresting and ill-conceived plot can scarcely be imagined. However meritorious the music of an opera may be, it will never guarantee entire success when the dramatic composition is feeble. Lodoiska, ushered in with the name of Cherubini, did not tail to be sure, but at first it met with but a very limited suc cess; and for the first season was coldly received and yielded but little profits to the treasury. Strange to re late, the triumph of Kreutzer's Lodoiska at the Favart was brilliant—one or two romances, the melodies of which were remarkahly simple and catching, becoming at once exceeding popular, more especially La douce clarte de l'Aurore. Above all, the overture, though not so brilliant as that of Cherubini, and the Marche des Tartares became the rage. The libretto of this opera was, however, tar superior to that of Cherubini, and to that may doubtless be attributed its more entire success. It is a subject fit for much curious speculation, that though both musicians and cognoscenti preferred Kraut zees opera to that of Cherubini, they would have de voutly crossed themselves in horror if a comparison were instituted between the merits of these two com posers—as musicians. Brevet-Colonel Daniell Falla, half-pay unat tached, has succee d e d t o th e p e nsion of 1001., in addition to his half-pay, vice Brevet-Colonel Sampson Stawell, deceased. Colonel Falla is an officer of fifty-one years standing. He has seen much service, and was latterly employed for many years on the Staff as Town-Major of Gibraltar. The Colonels Commandant of the Royal Marines have received directions to substitute a cocked hat for their present chaco. This is merely giving force and effect to her Majesty's regulations, which require that all full Colonels in employment on the Staff should wear the cocked hat. General Sir Charles Napier quits India in the spring of next year. He has sent home instructions for the purchase of an estate on' the . banks of the Thames, where he intends to take up his permanent residence. It is believed that he will become the possessor of the property now belonging to Colonel C. I. K. Tynte, M.P. We regret to hear that Major-General Sir William Napier is suffering severely from an injury to the right hand. It is highly probable that Sir William Gomm will continue in India with the expectation of succeeding Sir Charles Napier on his retirement from the Indian command in the spring. SICKNESS IN THE TOWER.—The battalion of tke Guards which marched into the Tower from Chichetter on the Ist instant, was in a perfect state of health on its arrival, but soon after w a r d s exper i ence d th e dele terious effects of the water used in the Tower. One man died on Tuesday, in a few hours, of the cholera, and seventeen were on the same day taken into hos pital with diseased bowels. The pernicious water, it seems, does not proceed from any water company, but is supplied from the Thames by means of forced pipes, which carry many impurities into the tanks. In consequence of the cholera having appeared in the detachment of the 11th Hussars, stationed at Kensington, the troops were removed on Wednes day, by sudden order, and joined the Head-quarters at Hounslow. The Household Brigade of Cavalry is performing the dispatch duty until further orders. Mr. Reid, formerly of the Life Guards, and keeper of the Cavalry Canteen at the Horse Guards, was taken suddenly ill yesterday morning (Friday), at four o'clock, of cholera, and died the same day at one o'clock.

Wandering up and down the instrument, he seemed for a moment bewildered and uncertain of the original key, but at l•st coming to the shake, which was to terminate this long close, Handel, to the greatest de light and relish of his Irish audience, and to the aug mentation of applause, exclaimed, loud enough to be heard in the most remote parts of the theatre, " You're welcome home, Maishter Dupourc—velcume home."

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD DUDLEY STUART My Lord,—Pray excuse my troubling your Lordship with the accompanying 24 rosewood paper knives, made from a pattern which was given to a lady by an llun garian, which was made of oak. As it is not in my power to contribute to the fund in money, I trust those trifles will find purchasers amongst the friends of free dom. If the ladies would get up a fancy fair in aid of the woundpd and widows, I will gladly make 24 more, besides some silk-winders. As I do not wish my name to be made public, it might be noticed as a contribution of a week's work and ma terials by a working man, B. C. N., and I hope the example may be of some service, as there are many who can contribute their labour but not money. I feel that we cannot do too much for a people who have proved themselves worthy of freedom. Your Lordship's most obedient servant, Sept. 4, 1849. B. C. N. The wholesale price of the paper knives, by the doeen, is 125., retail, ls. 6d. each, but for this purpose I think they ought to be offered to the friends of the Hungarians at Is. each.

As well known fur his satire and ready wit as fur his literary and musical genius, Jackson was once called upon at a public dinner for a toast. "I have greet pleasure," he replied with a half solemn smile, " i❑ com plying wilts your demand, Mr. Chairman, and beg to give you the two first words of the third Psalm." The chairmen—astonishment displaying itself visibly on his face—astounded at the apparent irreverence of the idea, sopped Jackson short by exclaiming, "Oh fie, Mr. Jackson, do you give us the beginning of a psalm for a toast?" "Yes, sir," responded the latter. " unless you will suggest a better—l give you, Lord llow(e)r" ALLEGRI. Gregorio Allegri, a native of Rome, and from the year 1630 attached to the Papal Chapel, both as com poser and vocalist, was a pupil of Nanino. Indepen dently of the fame he acquired for his ecclesiastical works, he was no less celebrated for his benevolence. Compassionate and charitable to the poor, he even ex tended his " righteous works" farther, for he paid daily visits to the prisons of Rome, where he alleviated to the utmost of his power the distresses of all whom he beheld suffering and in want. With a heart brimful of pity for the misfortunes of others, he is said to have on more than one occasion stripped himself of his coat in order to bestow it on some object of compassion. He was an ex cellent thereist ; indeed all of his works, which were chiefly for the church, are indicative of his contrapuntal skill. His most celebrated work is his Miserele, in five parts, in G Minor. So admired was it that it was always performed on the moat solemn occasions, and for a long time the original manuscript was preserved in the archives of the Pontifical Chapel with the utmost care. Of this noble work the Padre Martini tells us, there never were more than three copies made by authority, one of which was for the Emperor Leopold, the second for the King of Portugal, and the third for himself. MOZART. As an instance of the wonderfully retentive memory with which Mozart was gifted, it is related of him that when at Rome, in his early career, he went to the Sistine Chapel to hear the celebrated iliserere by Allegri, of which I have just written, and of which any one, under pain of eternal excommunication, was forbidden to take a copy. Apprised of this, Mozart's ingenuity suggested an expedient whereby to (nnul the much desired object. He placed himself in a retired corner of the chapel, where he was free from interruption and could wholly give him self up to its accomplishment. He paid the closest atten tion to every bar, and when the performance was over hurried home, his brain charged with what he had heard, and, from memory, committed to paper the whule of this elaborate work. At a concert some few days afterwards Mozart sat down at the harpsichord, and accompanying himself, sang a fragment of this Miserere. This display of his profound knowledge of mu,ic and miraculous faculty of retention evinced by this extraordinary cir cumstance attracted the attention of all Rome to the young musician. His Holiness when he heard of it gave directions for Mozart to be presented to him, when, instead of reprimanding and punishing his evasion and violation of the sacred prohibition, he liberally received him in the most gracious manner, creating him a Che valier of the Order of the Golden Spur. STEVIIEN JEFFERIES. - - - In my last I related an amusing instance of this singular person's humour—the following is even a more ridiculous proof of his extraordinary character. A singer possessing a good voice, and who officiated at a distant church, had been requested and had consented to sing the solo in an anthem in Gloucester Catbedral. The eventful day " big with the fate" of the new vocalist arrived, and that individual took his station at the side o f jefferies in the organ-loft. The performance began, and the latter, hearing him make some slight hesitation and subsequently a mistake in it, instead of passing it over silently, or endeavouring to set him right, imme diately rose from his seat and leaning over the gallery, exclaimed in a loud voice, addressing the choir and con gregation—" He can't sing it, he can't sing it." ROSSINI. The reputation of the renowned gran maestro not only as a wit but as a gastronome is almost as proverbial as his enchanting strains are famous. In the salons of Paris various tales are told exemplifying these cohne:_ teristics. Among them I select, a Rossini, who is as much at ease . wit t h i a th p a diminutive peasant, made a wager one even i ng w ith turkey with truffles. random.ee as with a Italian Principe, the stake bein gdase there is, sooth to The former won the . wager, tb s i n s world Rossini is less liable scarcely anythi ng iincurean dainty, he looked for wardliable to forget than this for the day being with the most im p atience liveleyp fixed by the Prince when he s hould en joy the fruits of his wager. T he bel momento not arriving, however, the tro happened to meet his noble friend. Tapping I P : es J a mon the shoulder, he reminded him of it. Taken by surprise, or perhaps not being overeager to pay, the Prince began to stammer forth some excuse, sayi ng th a t k n owing . Rossun's exquisite taste, he had caused exten sive inquiries to be made, and as the result was informed this!, the truffles had not yet reached their desirable ma turity or acquired their delicious gout. Rossini laughingly rejoined, " Ma, mio carol it is the turkeys who have set this silly rumour a fl oat." The witty reply produced the desired effect, for the composer had the satisfaction of enjoying his favourite dish on the following day, both himself and host pronouncing the tru t: es exquisite.

DE MONTALEMBERT, the honourable orator s , po t ke a which iao would would follows ekneu defeat sion, is the character of our enemies ! You know them as I do. I believe them quite capable of imitating the monsters, of whom they every day m But they are only the parodists of them. They have none of the qualities of their models, their predecessors; none of that sombre grandeur, which it is impossible not to admit, even in abhorring it, as I abhor it.—(Bravo.) But if we were to allow ourselves to be vanquished by these little plagiarists, our condition would be as lament able as that of our fathers, and even more shameful ; we should be conquered and slaughtered by pigmies. —(Ex plosion of applause.) At bottom, they are nothing; they are only a handful of men, without talent, and often without courage. But do you know on what they cal celate, and not without reason? They calculate on the intrinsic force of evil, on the natural perversity of man. And we, in our discussions and political combinations, have too often forgotten to take that force into account. This leads me to say a word of a theory which has lately been produced, and which is now preached by certain writers who call themselves Conservatives, and by others who call themselves religious. I refer to the theory of unlimited liberty. We are told that all the dangers of society arise from compression, from repres sion, and especially from the restrictive laws which we have made to guarantee the maintenance of liberty by checking its abuses. But I compare the folly of these writers to this: I suppose a man charged to keep a wild beast, a tig e r i n a . cage. And there assuredly no exaggeration in com paring the bad instincts of man to a tiger. The keeper imprudently thrusts his arm or his foot between the bars of the cage, and the tiger devours it. A political or theological doctor arrives and says: —4 Ah! the tiger has devoured your arm or your foot? That does not astonish me; why did you keep the poor animal shut up in a cage?—(Loud laughter.) Open the cage, let the tiger run loose and do what it will, and you will see that it will do you no harm.' Thereupon the animal is re leased, and it commences by devouring the keeper and the doctor.—(Laughter and applause.)

Anxiety is in consequence increasing among all classes of the community, and some of the most eminent physicians have been dispatched by Government to the succour of the most afflicted districts. AUsTitlA. The Vienna journals of the 2d state that the Aus trian Government has given orders to General Haynau to put an end to the execution of the Hungarian officers who had fallen into his hands. Some of the journals represent that the number put to death by the General was very considerable, and the German Reform says that it the orders in question had arrived a day later all the officers in his power would have lost their lives. The journals state that one of the plans of the Government with respect to the future treatment of Hungary is to establish large colonies of Germans in the Steppes, so as to neutralize the influ ence of the Magyars. Fortifications continued to be erected at Presburg and in the mountains, and the Russian troops were still retiring towards the frontiers. The National has the following article on the sub ject of Hungary : " The noble Hungarian leaders whom Austria could not conquer, she murders. The German journals are Lull of accounts of these savage executions, coldly or dered the morning after the capitulation of Vilagos. In this war of Hungary, where all the power of the house of Hapsburg was checked by a people small in number, but immense by its courage and resolution, Austria has given the measure of her strength and of her generosity. She was forced to appeal to Russia, and it was only by the aid of Russian soldiers that she could crush that brave Hungarian nation for ever detached from the Em pire; and as if the Government of Vienna wished to punish the Magyars for the support which they forced it to demand, it slaughters them according as the Russians deliver them up. Not very dexterous in handling the soldier's sabre, Austria is quite at home with the execu tioner's axe in her hand. At Milan, she shoots the pa triots and pillages the citizens ; in Hungary she cuts throats and hangs, sometimes even having recourse to poison. But we have confidence in the justice ot Pro vidence ; let the blood of the martyrs fall on the head of the murderers 1 So many infamies and crimes will not remain eternally unpunished. Oh! in that case, woe to those Kings whom the popular generosity spared some time back! Between democracy and absolutism, an abyss has been made which is henceforward im passible. The sovereigns now show themselves without pity ; like to them, vengeance will also be pitiless, but it will be more just than tney are." ITALY.

During his residence there he purposes visiting a number of churches in the neighbourhood, after which his intention was to proceed to Benevento, and take up his residence in some town of the Papal dominions before finally returning to Rome. The same letters mention that Naples was perfectly tranquil, so much so that no one would suppose that it had passed through a revolution. The Tuscan Government has negotiated with the house of Rothschild for a loan of 20,000,000 'lyres. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) A fair amount of business has been transacted this week in the mining share market; and from the general improvements in the mines and advance in the standard, we may reasonably expect a proportionate increase. The inquiries for shares in our leading and dividend paying mines have been active; but sellers are generally seeking higher prices, and actual business is thereby delayed, by the necessary negotiations which are going on. East W heal Rose, West Caradon, and South Wheal Frances, have paid their bi•monthly dividends since our last notices, and have created buyers in consequence. Devon Great Consols, South Basset, North Pool, West Seton, South Tolgus, and Treviskey and Barrier, are being sought for at or about former quotations. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the week:—East Wheal Rose, Devon Great Consols, South Ta mar, North Pool, West Caradon, Mary Ann, Trelawny, Bedford United, Tamar Consols, South Molton, Kingsett and Bedford, Trehane, South Josiah, Cwm Erfin, Camborne Consols, Mendip Hills, East Buller, Wellington Mines, South Tolgus, Wheal Comfort, 1 releigh. West Caradon account for May and Juno was held on the 30th of August, when a dividend of 21. 10s. per share was declared. The financial statement shows a profit of 2921. 13s. on the two months' working, which, with balance from last account, gave a balance in hand of 2,061/. 1 ls. 10d.; after payment of dividend, a credit of 1,4211. lls. 10d. is carded to next account. The mine is stated to be in a progressing and highly satistactory esition. At the East Wheal Rose meeting, a dividend o, 3,8401. was declared, being 301. per share on the two months' working, carrying balance of 2,7161. 19a. 4d. to credit of next account. The sale of silver lead ores for May and June realised 10,6001. 19s. Id., and the mine is represented to have much improved in her bottom levels, especially in the 120, south of the engine-shaft. south Wheal Frances account for June and July was held on the 3d instant. The profit for the two months amounted to 1,2501. 9s. 4d., which, with balance from last account, gives a credit of 1,8971. 4s. Id. A dividend of 10/. per share was declared, leaving balance in purser's hand of 6571. 4s. ld.

Several veins, or branches, impregnated with ore, have been intersected, underlaying towards Vivian's lode. At the Gonomena meeting, a balance of 761. 13s. 2d. was found in favour of the adventurers. The mine is represented to be in an improving position. Iu the 60, or Gilpin's, the lode is producing 2} tons of ore per fathom, and about 15 tons of ore have been broken from the north lode. Other operations are being carried on, with a view of bringing some important points into effi cient working order. At Wheal Mary Consols meeting, it was resolved to discontinue further operations, and a committee was formed, for the purpose of disposing of the mines and material—a loss of 937/. I Is. sd. having been sustained since the account meeting in March last. At the Calsteck meeting the accounts showed the entire costs from the commencement to have been 2,2631. 145. Bd., leaving a balance against the mine of 768/. 13s. Bd. A new sett had been obtained from the Duchy on favourable terms, and expectations of good results were entertained.
