I laid me down beneath night's sombre pall, And dreamt a dream of London's Civic Hall. '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 When, all at once, I halted in my walking. On hearing voices, as of persons talking. So turning round to ascertain the noise, The talkatives, I found, were two big boys. One's name was Maginr, and the other's Gog ; And this is something of their dialogue Neighbour," said .;og, " I think this day's election Has furnish'd us with something worth inspection, And, certainly, this ,Treat proceeding closes Much to the credit of the Tailors, MOSES. I did not care for speeches, cheers, or votes, Half what I did for MOSES'S summer Coats. The excitement of the scene will do—but, dang It ! The suits of MOSES a:together hang it." " Hear, bear ! well done I that's capital," said Magog, " I quite agree with ev'ry thing you say, (lost. There never were such waistcoat., coats and breeches, Since 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.' MOSES & SON' would make us look quite slap, do you s a y t o trying them old chap ?" . 11 go," said Gov_ '•I want a morning ,:own, d here's a gentleman will h 1p us down." ? dear ?

LAUNCH of a RAILWAY EXPRESS STEA A-BOAT. On Saturday afternoon Messrs. ll ,binson 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 Line.lnsinre Railway . Company, and intended to run hetween Hull and the terminus of the railway at Great Gr•mshy. The novelty of the launch consisted in the vessel having her engines and boilers already fitted on board, 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 performed, the vessel has a large saloon, or waiting-room, on deck, fi"ty feet in length. twelve feet wire, 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 Ft. Bean 224. 6in. • Depth ... 10 1. 6in. Oscillating engines ... 150 horse power. The hull, as well as the engines, were all made at he works of Mrssrs. Robinson and Russell. Tnis boat, with sister vessel built at Hull, but now in the Thames, to be fitted with engines, is to form part of a great system of communication across the Humber, designed bs• Mr. Fowler, the engineer of the line, and is well calculated to diminish to the utmost the inconve nience of having a railway intercepted by an arm of the sea. A pier on each side runs into deep water, and carries railway trains upon it alongside the boat. On 2etting out of the carriages passengers will find them selves alongside the saloon of the express steam-boat, which will immediately convey them across the ferry. at a rate of not less than 15 miles an hour, to a similar pier on the opposite side. When these arrangements ,re fioished, they wia form a most complete railway steam-ferry, and much more expeditious than any hitherto brought into use. The ceremony of christening was performed by Mr;. Cole, who gave the vessel the appropriate name of "The Manchestar." A slight accident interrupted the hunch ibr a short time, but by the aid of a tug she " took the water," amidst the cheers of a vast body of spectators, in most gallant style. After the launch, Messrs. Robinsnn and Russell en tertained a party of friends in the cabin of the Pandora, s pleasure steam-yacht, built for the Nawab Niz tm, of Moorshedabad, arid launched on the 21st ult. Mr. tics sell took the chair, and the usual toasts were duly cele brated, the principal being, " Success to The Manchos , tel.," which was replied to by Mr. Cole. who to .k the opportunity to describe the enormous dock-works now to construction at Grimsby. The Pand..ra is intend..d in a few days to make several trial trips in the Thames; and as she is rather an ex traordmary• looking cratt, it may interest our nautical realers to kir .w something about her. She is of iron, and, like the Manchester, was launched from the yard with engines, boilers, and every thing on board ready t' o r work Sne was to have been used chi fly on hunting expeditions, in a narrow and shallow branch of ;he Caoges. She was designed to draw 22 inches on !snitching, and she drew precisely 22 inches. Her run ,,ing draught is 24 inch. s. Her cabins are roomy, loft), and air), the state apartments b.fing in the fore part, and consisting of a platform, vestibule, saloon, and divan, out they are not at present fitted up ,in the magnificent manner origtnilly proposed, though they are simple, and elegantly hued with drapery. The engines are made of the most costly materials and excellent workm4nship, no exibmse having been spared to procure strength wi lightness. The whole framing is of the finest hammered iron, and the parts usually made of cast iron are of ur.e or fine brass. The proportions 'of the vessel are as follow:—Lorgth, 150 feet; breadth, 19 toet; d.-pth, 10 fet.t 6 u ch.,; lore dulions, 45 feet by 18 feet wide; alter saloons, 45 feet by 18 feet wide; engines, luw pressure, condensing, of 80 curse power. The form of the vessel is designed to meet the exi gences of speed and extremely small draught of water. fhe bow is upon Mr. Scott Russell's wave principle, and it terminates in an elegant figure- head, like the prow of the ancient Rou an galleys. The stern has large plate glass windows, .urroanded by elegant carving. Alto• gether she is externally, as well as internally, a very pleasing vessel. We believe a speed of fourteen miles an hour has been guarsntepd by the bulders. 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 ConstantinoW, was launched from the extensive build ing and ironworks of Messrs. Mare and Co., of Black wall. The occasion was marked by the attendance of many distingui.hed personages, including the Turkish Am.)asiVor and suite. Mr. Z.)hrab. the Turkish Con sul; Captain Ford, of the Ottoman navy; Mr. Laming, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Leary, Mr. J. Maudslay, Mr. White, of Cowes; Mr. Campbell, C.E., &c., were also present; and a very numerous assembly of ladies graced the ceremony. Miss Souhic Z .hrab, a very pretty little girl, niece of the Turkish Consul. stood sponsor for the B .sphorus. As she was relieved from the stocks, awl glided slowly and smoothly into the water, amidst the cheers of ail present, as she rose most buoyantly and sl.t!led down on the water a little by the stern, she drew forth general admiration for her symmetrical propor "ons, which are— Ft. L.ngth between perpendiculars ... 175 Breadth ••• . . ••• ••• 28 Depth ... 16 (Jiving her a burden in tons of 530 Subsequently - the company adjourned to the mould iitt. where they were very handsomely entertained by he principal of the firm. - It drinking success to the Bosphorus, a compliment was paid to his Excellency the rurkish Ambassador, who, in reply, expressed his satisfaction at what he had witnessed, and sai,l he should feel a pl,asure in promot ing the inter.sta of the owners to the utmost of his power. His Exc,llency and suite then took their de parure; but previously to quitting the nrighbourtiood the Ambassador, a tended by Captain Ford, paid visit to that highly-interesting exhibition the Chinese Junk. The health of the pretty Sponsor for the Bosphorus was drunk; and, in suxession, Mr. Z thrall, the director of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company; Mr. Laming, the managing director; Captain Ford, the su iTtinteudent; Mr. Maudslay, the constructor of the en gines; and Mr. Waterman, the talented young naval tirctiiiect of the firm. In the course of an interestins , conversation on the merits of commercial screw-vs-issels, a weed of justice was rendered to Mr. Lansing for his invaluable labours in working out the success of the screw pr speller, as applied to merchant vessels, in an economical point 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- bei wean London and Rotterdam, Mr. Laming had succeeded in profitahly reducing the freights from 391. 3d. per ton to 19s. 61. per ton; whilst the phs 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 Serew Steam Company would prove a remunerative speculation. The Bos phorus, after she was launched, was immediately towed round to the East India Ducks to receive her engines. which are of 80. horse power. She is to be fitted with all dispa•ch, 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 dv, an inspection of the first vessel having satisfied the com pany that, in the .ifisphorus, they have an excellent model for screw steaming, as they have also a strong and well built ship for the purposes required.

HUNGARY AND ROME:. PUBLIC MEETING AT NEWCASTLE. SATURDAY, JULY 7.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held in the Lecture room, Nelson-street, for the purpose of assisting Hun garian exiles now in London to return to their country, and to assist in defending it against the aggressions of Autieria, and expressing sympathy with Rome in their glorious struggle for freedom. On Sir John Fife (who was advertised to preside) Mr. Crawshay, and Signor Bompiani appearing on the platform, they were hailed with loud and oft•repeated cheers. Sir JortN 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 had ventured to make to them, and for the imposing numbers in which they had assembled. 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 follow him, especially Signor Bompi,ni, who was himself a It-man, would vindicate the righteousness and justice of the cause in which the brave Romans have struggled against such fearful odds, and they would aher justify the conduct of the Hungarians in insurrection. Not only had Austria oppressed the Hungarians, according to rule and in the scientific manner which deepo , s can employ, but she had even made use of insurric,ions 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 11:3d incurred the hatred of the people, but it was proved that the Government orignatrd the insur rection and paid the peasantry for the head of every landowner which they brought to them.—(Haar. hear.) What could they expect of such a nation? Could they imagine that a God of justice will permit such a ration to pi toper in its iniquities? He believed net, and that when they met again Europe would present a more satis factory aspect.—(Cheers.) GEORGE CRawSLIA.Y, Esq then came forward to reeve the first re►ulutien. After some introductory re marks, he observed that he felt most deeply on this matter, especially uow when it was no longer a question between Austria and Hungary, but wheth,r a great, brave, good, and improving p , ople like the Hungarians are to advance in civilization and freedom, or be annihi• fated--trampled out of existence by the power of Russia. —(Hear, hear.) In this position of the question he felt that Euglend ought no longer to rem-tin silent, but to lift up her voice and tell the Cz tr and Austria that she . does not look on unsympathisingly at the commission of so great a crime—so foul a national murder.—(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 King of Hungary, and had 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 clans against class and encourage jealousies and enmities between Hungary, Italy, Bo hemia, and other states, in order that thus he might di• vide and govern,--(Cheers.) The Hungarians did not like this policy; they found the Austrian Government a ivancing step by step, and taking away their ancient liberties, and resistance was medita..ed. Even ten years ago, when he was travelling on the Continent, he heard it staled that the Hungarian people were ripe fir insur rection. No one would deity 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 not psrt with their aristocratic privileges, Austria would set the peasantry and lower classes against them, and reduce Hungary to a province and de F endency 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 privil , ges, one of which was execnptioa from taxation. All feudal rights were abolished, and all the tribes were placed on a foot ing of equality with the Magyars; they established per fect religious liberty and granted universal toleration. At the bead of this improvement was the great. Kossuth. —(Cheers.) He might oe 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 er temale, could return a representative); and he made himself so troublesome to the Austria'. Government, pripcipally by writing in a patter, that he was put in prison, as. many a good nian 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 •nentary and violent insurrection, and the people of Hungary made strung demands which were conceded b) Aus.ria; 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 intervion of deposing The Emperor; indeed, this was not dune until the Aus triau Governinent invited Russia to assist them.— (Applause.) Mr. Crawshay then proceeded at some ieigth, and with great ability, to detail tne varied steps 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 ai4nia of S . Stephen on the altar or 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 Eur.pe. The Hungarians were assisted by the Poles—(Cheers) — although it is not true, as the Emperor of Russia d&- dared, that any considerable portion of his subjects, as he calls tie Polea, serve in the Hungarian ranks. They consist chiefly of Austrian subjects, tor Austria had its share of Polish plunder, as well us Russia. The noble and gallant, bat unsuccessful efforts of the Poles to re gain the ir liberty were remembered by all. For ei K hteen years the generals who headed them had lived in poverty and distress in diftaent parts of Europe. Gen. Bern was in the receipt of 15s. per week in this country, and he had to be attended in one of our hospitals. Ifid it not been for such noble individuals as Lord Dudley Stuart that man might not have been preserved to render the great service he bad since done to the cruse of liberty.—(Applause.) Bem defended Vienna, and when it was surrendered, one condition of the capitulation was that he should be hanged. Ho disappeared, how ever, in some mysterious manner, and the next that was heard of him was that he WAS at the head of patriotic forces in Trans) lvania. On this occasion Bern over. came both Austrians and Russians, and d:ove them out of the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. Crawshay concluded by proposing the following resolution : " That a national sub,cription, for the purpose of enabling the Hungarian exil-s, now in this country to return to their native land, will be an act worthy of the generosity of the people of England, at the same time that it will afford them an opp-rtunity, which they should not suffer to pass by, of making public and mani fest their indignation at the conduct of the Austrian and Russian Governmerys towards Hungary, and of showing yrnpathy with the heroic exertions of the Hungarian people in the most sacred of causes, the protection of their homes and country against invasion. That accor dingly a subscription for this purpose be commenced, and the proceeds forwarded to Lord Dudley Stuart." Mr. J. L. THORNTON seconded the motion, which was carried unanitnou.ly, amidst great applause. A voluntary collection was then taken on behalf of the Hungarian exiles, and a handsome sum realised. Tne Hey, G. BELL tuoved the next resolution, ex pressive of strong disapprobation at tho conduct of France with reference to Home. Although not a mew her 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 oil that it could not hear the nation's voice cry " Shame." Mr. GEonoz BREWIS seconded the motion, which was carried. Signor Bommon. a Roman, after adverting to the invasion otly by Benaptite, his spoli at i on an d i vranny, and th o s ub s equent mpo , ition of the " old regime," concluded thus:—The French Government has revealed to the world what is their I.,ve tor French liberty by pouring bombs on Roman li berty. Yes, the political principles of the Seine are ex• plained on the basks of the Tiber. The attack on Hum is the crime of Cain, accomplished by a faitile:s Govern. mrnt mgainst a defenceless people. H. a republic been peoclaimed in St. Petersburgh or in Lyndon, the power which governs the destiny of France would have trembled and bowed before them But Rome is comparatively a sinall town, ►►nd tinny five thousand men, the bravest soldiers of Europe, backed by Austrian, Spanish, and Neapolitan troops, have at last sileaced the fire of the brave but unfortunate defenders of our liberty, and who had retired to Rime as the heart of Lillian indepen dence. The Frei-eh legions have b:.en victorious— ►hey, through fire and sword, have bicomo masters of Rome, and now Pius IX. can rttnru to the eternal ci , y; a river of blood will bring him hick his triple golden crowns, whilst his Master only left to him a crown of thorns. Let Lira take it up with that hand which signed the warrantof death fir his children, which was destined only to bless and forgive! Why does he not go to Avignon, where several of his predecvors passed nearly seventy years? No—he must occupy again the reg,l abode of the Va•ican, though he styles himself the Vicar of " Him who had not a stone whereon to rest his head." One word more. I may be tt,lied— " To what purprie your speech, your enth us i asai ?" For a very simple reason. I do wish that there should be at least one nation in the world to set an example of public morality. I would wish !hit. chrere,l by ,;.) m pithy here for our misfortunes and efforts, I could trona this distlnt c-untry exclaim to my Italian brethren. " We have all the world against us except free England." This at least he cur consoltion in our fall, that v e are lamented and ,admired. Let the men of EnAlmd think on the calamities and circumstances %%ideu have reduced to a nonentity and slavery the Queen of nations, and they will pronounce their judgin• nt, which, I doub: not, will he heard with fear and dismay by those tyrants who have caused, and cause, so many tears and hlco:i. The voice of a free and generous people is all po , ,veriul, and will re-echo like thunder to the most distant re gions.—(Loud cheers.) At the conclusion of his address the Signor proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was seconded by Mr. Crawshay.

Commander 'Cracroft, arrived here in nine days from Devonport, under sail alt the way, with the exception of about 100 mil. s; she experienced a heavy gale from the S.W. on the 10th and I I th, and made capital weather of it; indeed, she seems quite a different vessel since the reduction of the armament, which is not surprising, no less than Sf tons of dead weight having been removed from her decks and sternpost. The lime• 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 Africa, which was duly saluted. They are here to recruit; officers and men all en shore, enjoying the arimens of this delightful island, and return to their station in about a fortnight. The Reynard is the first man-of-war that has been ad mitted to prMtique from England since the cholera alarm commenced—an alteration hailed with satisfaction by all classes, for this island must have suffered very much horn the imp , ,sitiots of the absurd and vexatious quaran tine. The R-ynard sails to-morrow for San Nicholas (Cape Verds), then to Portendie, on the gum coast, Sierra Leone, and Rio de Janeiro. WOOLWICH, 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 hospitul ship instead of the Dreadnought. The latter is to be taken to Woolwich to be docked and underge repairs and itn provemetts for the comfort of such seamen as may sus tain accidents on the Thames. Tile Vivid, Dover mail steam-packet, Captain Luke Smithett, is expected to form one of the Royal squadron which will proceed with her Majesty to Irelaud next month. A correspondent has furnished the following interest. ing trial of speed between the Scotia and Banshee, the former belonging to the Railway Company, and the Litter one of the Holyhead steam packets:—The Scotia, of 750 tons, was built by Messrs. Wigram, Blackwell, and fitted with engines by Messrs. Maudslay, Field and Son, of 400-horse power. Tho trial took place on the evening the Lord-Lieutenant returned to Ireland. Both vessels left Holyhead pier at six o'clock, the Banshee having 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 slight advantage for a short time. At 6.15 the Scotia got up steam, with a pressure of 151 b., and she then gained on the Banshee, and coLtinued to do so during the whole trip, arriving at Kingsiohn-quay 16 minutes before her competitor. During the middle and bitter part of the pas►age there was a strong wind from the south smith west, with a heavy short sea, yet the Scotia made the passage in 3 hours anti 56 mitattes, her engines making 26 revolu tions per minute.

"Notes, notes, forsooth, and noting:" SILIKSPERE. No. XV. HANDEL. Dr. Burney relates that at Signora Frasi's, one even ing in the year 1745, Handel brought in his pocket the MS. of the duet, "From these dread Scenes," in the Judas Illaccabeus, 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, liko most Italians, read 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 young musician. At leng:h, however, recovering from my fright, I ventured to I,ay that I fancied there was a mis mat, in the writing, which upon examination Handel discovered to be the case, and thon instantly, with the greatest go ,d humour and humility, said, ' I pec your parton—l urn vaary odt (odd) tog!—Mttishter Schmidt is to plan:le.'" JOHN CEIRISTOPIIER SMITH Was the " Matt.hter Schmidt" above alluded to, and besides being Handers amanuensis was a tolerable com• poser; indeed some of bis music (esnt , cially Caliban's song, "The owl is abroad") to the Tempest, is by so means forgotten. Ile was entrusted to copy from Elantivrs original sketches, which Booth to say were composed of a series of mysterious hieroglyphics, which nly he and their immortal writer could decipher -50 that to have borne the weight of mistakes loaded upon hi 4 shoulders, John Christopher Smith should Lave possessed those of an Atlas. How frequently would Hatidel angrily exclaim —" :kelt! daat Mat,hter Schmidt! it is all his fault. I really musht shpeak to him." SHAKSPERE In heart, soul, thought, taste, and feeling one of Nature's lyrists, one of her most inspired musicians, must have telt that there was a mutual, a reciprocal charm re&cted from music on the singer, as well as bestowed by the singer on music, when he penned that beautiful com parison of the sound of a cultivated human voice to " ditties highly penned Sung by a fair queen in a summer's bower With ravishing division to her lute." PAIR Was not gifted with a placid temper, nor, truth to tell, with a forbearing, gentle, and submissive wife. Bat it is to these circumstances that we are indebted for the chief beauties i❑ his operas, for we are credibly told that he composed his most admired morceaux while engaged in wrangling with his wife, upbraiding his children, and q•iarrellinz with his servants. Ho then would summon ii,s favourite dog, and white caressing and playing with it with one hand would with the other substantializo his thoughts. PAESIE Imo Composed always in bed. Thus luxurioufly ensconced did he plln and N ri a his La Molinara, his Nino, and his Il Barbiere di Seviglia. The latter opera was the cause Rossini giving to the world his own chef datirre the same title, and which the world has stamped with an immortality coequal in futurity o. existence with itself. CORELLI. Of this famous musician an amusing anecdote is related as exemplifying the vein of good-humoured wit he pos sessed and, more than that, his readiness to acknowledge talent in others. Adam Strunek, chief violinist to the Elector of Hsnover, on a visit he paid to Rome, imme rliately, to fulfil one of the chief objects of his journey, paid Corelli a visit. 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 conversation which ensued he learned that his visitor was a musician, and inquired on what instrument he performed. "A little on the harpsichord and violiti"' replied Strunek modestly, at the same time begging the favour that Corelli would let him bear his performance on the latter instrument. With this request Corelli complied, and on la)ing aside his violin requested a similar favour on the p.irt Strunek. The stranger commenced plsyiug, but ut first carelessly, yet sufficiently well as to induce Corelli to compliment him on the freedom of his bowing Trio latter wound up his praises by saying that " wiih practice he would become an excellent player." Strunek 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 most marvellously the notes on the mistuned instrument till ()until', amazed at such a display, exclaimed, " Why, what is this I hear? they call me Arcangelo, but if I am so, by heav,n, sir, you must be Arcidia'eolo." WEBER. What a sublime incident is recorded of this high• souled musician. A grander and more imposing sentence was n.-ver uttered from the mouth of even the divinely inspired Lutber. S. me vocalists who were ringing a h)mn in prsis,, of the Great Creator of All Things were vociferating v,ith nil the strength their lungs could boa st . " Quit, t hush!" interrup!ed Weber, holding up the palm of his hand-- hush! would you sing so loud it you were in the presence of God?" HAYI)N. The Prince von Esterhazy was at all times a munificent patron and sincere friend of Haydn, and exemplified it on many occasions. Twice was Haydn's residence at Eissenstadt consumed by fire, and twice did the Prince cause it to be rebuilt solely 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 all the composer's lost furniture, linen, household utensils, &c., in fact everything which had bee❑ destroyed, deputing Pleyel, the favourite pupil of flay dn, to attend to their entire reinstatement according to the most minute wish of his unfortunate friend. And Pleyel proved the most affectionate of pupils, and was as active and zealous i❑ the ( xecution of this trust as his master could wish. When the second conflagration oc curred Hay du was at some distance on a particular mission, and so expeditious hal been his patron's kind ness, that, except for the new appearance of his houe, 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 loss he bewailed as one of the greatest he had ever endured. With pa!pable traces of contusion, and after much hesitation, Pleyel at length confessed that he bad clandestinely made a copy for his own private use, and which now he would feel happy in restoring to the right! ul possessor. Hayd❑ soon forgave his pupil, and on, receiving the promised copy, his joy was compligte. MOZART. We ell know the deep devotion, the passionate adora tion—the poetry of love which this glorious musician: entertained for his wife Constance. And although it was what the world cniltd "an imprudent marriage, ho never repented thii important sup. Soon after their ma rriage, and while n young family were increasing around them they fell into embarrassments which neither could have foreLeen. The Emperor Joseph one day, addressing Mczirt, inquired," Why did you not marry a rich wife, Mtir.irt ?" " Sire," replied the latter, with that dilnity of mi.nner and manly independence of character which termed knell distinguishing traits iu 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 vratiable and elaborate work, "A G , nera i Hi s t or y of th6t Science and Practice of Music" (5 vols. 4tu., 1776). informs us, " Formerly there were in I, , :ndon many masters who taught the practice of singing by syllables. Tne profession is alluded to in some of tile corn( dig s written about the time of Charles the Second. But singing 101 l :rrs so nuturally the smallest degr.-e of proficiency on any instrument that the learning .1 both is unnecessary; und, iu fact, those that teach the hsrpsichor.l aro now the only singing masters that we know of except a few illiterate professors who travel 4tiotit the country and teach psalmody by the notes at •uch rates as the lower sort of people are able to pay." Taus proving that the existing genus—the species, if such tern:a mty be used—of vocal professors are only of souls what recent date. ~, c- / GABRIELT.I. Of this famous singer many incidents are told as , evidencing her enormous estimate o f th e value her ti t ; talents. On her visit to Russia, the Empress It i at d a o r for received her very graciously. " What arefsivaes o travelled this young beauty," said the latter, _who r rather my from IsTispl-s expressly for our child, speak—what terms „ do „ p a l l y k i a -:q u uire for your en- Ni it please your 'lin iment( nt at our .Court . s hall be put to cmsiderable jes e re t p h l s e replied , 7 t o e r r i tars, and . as ant but a poor E pff Tl 4, , 4s hing . your .4,..,N;_ty too much if I artiste, shall I be say 20,000 ronbleb? At this astounding de mar,d, uttere6 with the most consummate sang-froid and coolness, the a slight but angry brow of th . e . Einpres i s gre;w da flush was visible on ier . checks while her eyes sparkled ut these signs . of displeasure were only momentary. Gabtielli,,M relating this scene, acknowlodged—" I was terribly frightened, and bitterly regretted my words, but, wotnatililt,, I would not f or worlds have recalled them, in the presence of the young and handsome officer who gsz:ng at me with such interest." " Twenty thousand roubles!" echoed Katharine, "are you aware what pm demand, child? For this sum I ran purchase two field. marshals!" "In that case," returned Gabrielli, with unequalled temerity, "perhaps your Majesty will engage two fi e ld- t inn.hals who can slug!" Gabrielli uttered this in the mot imaginable. "I determined manner "I do not know wh tt poaseesed me," she afterwards said," it must have been some evil spirit, fur as I uttered the worsts I believed I saw my fate balancing between the Hermitage and ito.rirt.." But the good fortune of ' Gabrielli did not at that tame desert her. "Y ou are bold, young woman," returned the Empress, resuming i - her-pleasant and peculiar smile, "you are bold, but de. part now, hrti con Aler es wrth two fiold. rnarshr,ls." ITo THE SECRET. R Y OF THE M.ETROPOLI FAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,`—On Wednesday the. 4th a sharp debate tock poicP on the question of exeli m ti ng S cot l an d f rom t h e operation of the Bill fur I .ralizing_marriage with the sister of a deceased wife; and occasion , - as taken to add Ireland to the demand. OP course Scotch and Irish Members have H a .:lit to a c t as timy see fit, or as they may be instructed. B u t there is a strong reason why English Members should not lightly give way to demands of this nature, as there is too often a disposition to do. It is no secret that the world is changing its 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 i s no sec ret a l so , th a t 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 seal 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. 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 grou❑ds, 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 otherwise than as they please, was rejected by a majority of 119 against 66. In fact a step has been silently made during the progress of this Marriage question. On 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. Oa '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 saying, 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 ()fatty other reason, to give the man assistance to keep iii, 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 aide 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 lour-rate shall not he 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 was, that laying the poor -rate on the landlord tends to the ejection of the tenant. It cer tainly may act as a premium en having no tenants under 41. ; 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 ejections to arise. And so the House probably thought, when it decided against the amendment by a majority of 55 against 25. The seine evening concluded the debate on the State of the Nation. The Right Hon. Member for Tamworth came forward bolßly with what were no velties in the House, but were in fact only the !tic, ha c, hoc of the League seven years ago ; so that to old Leaguers his declarations sounded like the thaw ing of the notes 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, 18-19. THE GREAT SEA SERPENT. Mr. .1. A. Derriman, commander of che ship Brazilian, now lying rre:r the p r i nc i pal entrance of the London Dock, makes the following curious and Interesting statement:— He left the Cap on the 19th of February, running with a strong south-easterly wind for four days. On .he morning of the 24th the ship was becalmed in lati tude 26 south, longitude 8 east, te , ing about forty miles from the place in which Captain M'Quhae, R.N., is said to have seen the great iea 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 ts mile to the westward, stretched along the water to the length of about twenty-five or thirty feet, and percep tibly moving from the ship with a steady sinuous motion. The head, which seemed to be lifted several feet above the waters, 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. Haying read at Colombo the account of the monster said to have been seen by Captain M•Quhtte in nearly the same lati tude, Mr. flerrim.at wa, 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, altar surveying the objeot for some time, came to the unanimous conclusion that it must be the sea serpent seen by Captain M'Quhae. As the Brazilian was making no headway Mr. Merriman, determining to bring all doubts to an issue, had a beat 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. Herrimau standing in the bow of the boat, armed tvith a harpoon, to com mence the onslaught. The combat, however, was not i t b oard w as a ropurned shtetnednedde,dfowri t c h ,n t c h o e m i d n a g h g c e l r ose wh t i o ch th t e ho o s bje o e n t to be nothing more than an immense piece of sea-weed, evidently detached from a coral reef, and drifting with the current, which sets coastently 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. Iferriman an opportunity of examining the weed we should have had another " eye-witness" account of the great sea -serpent; Mr. lierrimati himself admitting that he should have re mained under the impression of having seen it. What app' tared to be heai, crest, and mane of the inunens-um vbiumen, was but the large root which floated upwards, arid 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 had not preserved it in a waterbutt for the pur pose of exhibition in the Thamet a where the conflicting motion produced by the tide and steamers would in all probability give it a like appearance. A curious accident occurred on board the Brazilian during her outward-bound voyage to Colombo. 11 . T hi o l!! iu lati•ude 39 south, 1 iegitude 28.30 east, off qle.
