HIS MAJESTY'S PonTnAIT•--At the Dublin Catholic As sociation, on Saturday, the following Resolution was carried with 'acclamation :—" That the Catholic Association, anxious to testify their sincere attachment to the glorious Constitution, founded and supported by our Catholic ancestors, and at the same time to testify our unqualified loyalty to our Meg Gra• cious Sovereign, George the Fourth, who was the first Monarch to declare that the Crown was held in trust for the benefit of the people, order that a Portrait of his Majesty, richly framed, and surmounted by the Crown, be placed over the Chair, in the room appropriated to its meetings." OCT, 20..--At present we have no news at' the Pavilion, but notwithstanding., We have strong reasons to con dude that his Majesty purposes again to honour and enliven this town with his presence, towards the close of the week en suing. The Duchess of Bedford arrived at the Royal York Hotel to-day; but her Grace will return to town to-Morrow, with the in. tention of again being with us about the 4th or sth Nov.. together with the Duke and family. Lord and Lady Holland, to take possession of their Steyne residence, will be here about the same time. The Duke of Bedford, we tinderatand,. prefers a cliff residence, on the King's zoad, or Marine Parade, to Regency. square, where a house had been engaged for him, and her Grace's visit, therefore, 'at . this time, we regard as having in view such an alteration. Lady and the Misses Shelly, trout Field Place, near Horsham, arrived at the Royal York Hotel to.day ; her Ladyship, since her arrival, has examined several private residences, with a view of engaging one for the winter season.—Mr. Clive, M.P., and Lady Harriet Clive, have left us for their town mansion.--Sir %Villiam, Lady, and Miss Cock. burn, have left us. Sir Graham Moore, Sir T. Williams, C'ol. Cummings, Lord Charles Churchill, ace. are in the arrival list. —Lord Viscount and Lady Downe have left Worthing for their town residence. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lanadown have arrived at Bowood Park, from a vioit at the Earl of Caroorvon's seat, Uighelare, Berks. EDINBURGH IVIUSICAL FESTIVAL. This splendid exhibition of' Musical Science, which has for so long a period occupied general attention, has at length com menced. 'file influx of fashionables was not considerable till' Saturday, when travelling carriages began to arrive in great, number.- During the whole of last week, however, many dis tinguished strangers were observed in tow n ; a nd the hotels and lodging-houses had all been previously engaged. The pre. paratory arrangements in the Parliament House, where the morning concerts are to be held, have already been briefly no. ticed. In addition we may state that the orchestra has been raised at the north end, and the organ, for which the public are indebted to the liberality of Bishop Gameron, is placed in the extreme distance; but the long movement which has been ad. ded by Mr. Bruce of the house of Muir Wood, and Co. will permit the conductor, Sir George Smart, to sit Immediately in front of the band. Mr. Wiles, of London, has superintended the erection of the orchestra, which has been arranged with great taste, in perfect accor dance with the general features of the hall, and will fully accommodate the whole of the per. formers. It is calculated that 1,630 persons may be comfort. ably seated in the body of the hall, and the greatest care is to be taken that no more than that number be admitted. Every necessary arrangement bus also been made to prevent confulion In the arrival and departure of the company ; and the Direc tors and Stewards, at the sacrifice of much of their own per. sonal convenience, have determined to superintend the arrange ment themselves, so that if the plans proposed are adhered to, and we trust they will be most scrupulously, we shall have little of that unseemly crushing and crowding which distin guished former Feitivalm..Yesterday the Blind in the Asylum, Nicolson's-street, were present at the general Rehearsal, by per mission of the Directors. The musical strength brought forward, is composed of eleven principal vocal performers—twenty-one violins—six violas— five violoncellos—four double basses—two g " t e'l—two haut boys-4w° clarionets—two bassoons—four horns—three trum pets—three tromboons and double drums. The chorus con sisted of nineteen cantos or trebles, of which fifteen are women, with four boys, selected from the choir of the York Cathedral —fifteen altos or counter tenors—nineteen tenors, and nineteen basses. _ _ MONDAY'S PE nr on II AI; C E.-Th e Festival commenced last night in the Theatre, (the gratuitous use of which the public owe to Mrs. Siddons and Mr. Murray,) with a concert of vocal and instrumental music. The company began to arrive at an early hour, and long before the performance commenced the line or carriages extended from the Theatre to South St. David's-street. In consequence of the unavoida ble delay' thus occasioned, many fashionable parties on enter ing, found all the best seats occupied. We were highly grati fied indeed to see the house crowded in all parts, and conceive this circumstance su ffi ciently indicative of die eventual success of the undertaking. The internal arrangements of the Theatre have been conducted with great taste. The whole of the stage has been elegantly fitted up as an orchestra, enclosed at the back, and coveredhy a temporary ceiling, constructed imme diately under the scene machinery, for the purpose of more ef fectually throwing forward the mound to the audience. The front seats of the pit are railed off, and exclusively devoted to the accommodation of the Directors, whose meritorious exer tions cannot be too highly applauded. The performance opened with llaydn's eighth symphony, which has been published and performed in so many shapes as to be intimately known to all professors. We were particularly struck by the commencement of the adagio movement. A glee by Webbe followed; which introduced, we believe, for the first time in Edinburgh, Miss Travis, • Mr. Terrail, Mr. Vaughan, and Mr. Phillips, and our old . favourite , Mr. Bellamy. 'W e particularly remarked their distinctness of articulation throughout, which, even in the fugue passages, rendered all re ference to the programme of the performance unnecessary. The last six lines, beginning with " Now, say what joy," were ac. companied by the orchestra 011 their repetition, and had a most striking effect : And the last line, '" To Him whose power un bounded rules the main,' in particular was sung to a succession of the richest and most delightful chords, each being sustained and modulated lam that which succeeded, with the happiest effect. Mr. Braham was raptu rousl y received, and sung the recitative air, composed for the occasion by . Terrari, in hii best manner. Madame and Signor De Begnis next appeared in a duett, by Generali. Our expectation had been raised to the highest pitch, by previous report, of the talents of this lady, and we' were not . disappointed. Her voice is particularly sweet and clear, and her execution of the very first order. In the higher notes of almost all other singers there is a something which indicates that beyond that point it would be hazardous to adventure. But the voice of Aladaine de Ilegnis possesses the rare quality of being fullest and richest in pits very highest tones. Whatever difference of opinion may have hitherto existed as to the propriety of engaging this lady to take the 'first parts, we are most fully convinced not one person present regretted the absence either of Catalani or Sal mon. In fact, we conceivethis lady combines, in a very con siderable degree, the best qualities of both. Signor de liegnis had only sung a very few lines when he,establislied himself in the graces of the audience. He is a perfect laughing philoso pher. In the trios, and in what may be called the bye-play, of the scene, he performed in a manner which indicated the greatest power as a Buffo. performer. His expression of the words, Bella, Bella !" - in thuconclusion of the duet, " La Pietra," were quite irrestible. Lindley, a n o ld, an d deservedly a great favourite with the Edinburgh audience, with his son, perform ed a concertante for two violoncello% in a style beyond all praise. The deep attention of the audience, interrupted occa sionally by bursts of applause, proclaimed the effect produced by this extraordinary performance. Of the merits of the elder Lindley, it is quite needless now to speak, as he has been for a period of twenty years avowedly the first violoncello performer in the world. When we say that his son gives promise of equal excellence, we feel that we say too little. We'are quite sure the general. opinion of the audience was, that he has -almoit already attained it. If the tone! of the father possesses a degree of uniformity and !softness, which can be pro duced by no, other player, that o f th e son had all the freedom of youth, and that peculi a r ob o e tone in which the perfection of violoncello playing consists. Both together pro duced a duett, which must be heard to be conceived. There were two or three ascending passages on harmonics, embraCing the extreniest compass of the instrument, which engrossed the full effect of the musical glasses, and literally electrified the audience. Miss Stephens sung with her usual delicacy and pathos, and was deservedly encored. • The second part was introduced by the overture to Der Frey schutz. It is a great work of a great master, and retninded us of the best compositions of Beethoven. It has all the vague, terrible, and mysterious sublimity of the German school. Mr. Braham sung, " The winter it is past," and afforded another example of how much can be made of an ordinary air, and rather common-place words in the mouth of a master. The words " But my true love is parted from me," were given with pecu liar pathos and sweetness. We were very . much struck with a very beautiful illustration of the effect imitative music in Mr. Braliam's Manner of singing the three lines beginnin g , " My love is like the sun," when contrasted with " But he is unlike the moon." .The first were given with the fiery ardour of intense affection, and the latter with something like the cold softness of moonlight. The song was encored.— Nicolson performed a fantasia on the flute. He intro duced " The last rose of slimmer," and played the air in the most delicate and pathetic style that the imagination can fancy. In a Cadence at the conclusion of the second part, he seemed to infuse his own original conceptions into the instru ment, and they seemed to wander together into the land of fairy, carrying the audience along with them. We could al most assent to the remark' which we overheard, that thy flute and the man bad gone mad together ! Miss Goodall was much applauded in " Bid me Discourse;"--she is a pretty singer, very interesting in her appearance, and bids fair to be a great favourite. Miss Stephens sung her fovourite air " Do nald" in her very best manner, and the performance concluded with the finale to the opera of La Clemenza di Tito. We ob served several performers of eminence in the orchestra, parti cularly our favourite Dragoitetti, who had no prominent part in the evening's arrangements, but whom we shall have an opportunity of mentioning in our notice of the remaining per formances.• The appearance of the audience was most brilliant and im posing. The crowding of elegance, fashion, and beauty into all parts, without distinction, had a singularly novel and Interest mg effect. The boxes formed a perfect galaxy of lustre. The pit waved with plumes, and sparkled with the bright eyes of the gay and beautiful. Scarlet and embroidery glittered ernm the pileries. Certainly never were the mansions of the gods pen. pled with a race of divinities half so enchanting. Wherever the eye of the spectator fell, all was jocund life, and eager, elegant expectation. It was a sight to make us pleased with ourselves and with human nature. It was a spectacle, too, exhibited with singular effect by our own delightful little Theatre. It put one in mind of the doings of the last age, when poor Delaval and his band of wits passed through the mimic scene, and prince and noble were jumbled in radical confusion, with no regard to place or rank, to do honour to the spirit of the age. The complete and anxious arrangements of the Directors prevented any confusion or much inconvenience fvom the press. Every one took his place, while places remained, with regularity and comfort. Certainly, the highest anticipations of a inimical banquet were realized to the very full. There were no glaring alterations 'of light and shade—no dashing of sweetness and insipidity—no economical thrusting forth orlittle men into the places of professors of the art. We hardly admired the greatness more than the unity and harmony of the effect. Every singer seemed so fitly put into place—every note was not only so good in itself, but so perfectly and beautifully in desire. __ sequence—that nothing was left to supply or e L fo o ' ball lg o a n d e s h u o rs r cl ud a o r sut l ni s nt e,je t t o iso b on e f: s_ u t n ot d irai e e r e t o l c t u e onut p enu a t t e s r o osf n o a tf g l e ali ivt o he f invet t y l Countess of 3lorton, ss and March, Countess of Dalhousie, Countess of Leven and Melville, and the Countess of Roseberry ; and besides the ex quisite quadrille music which will be afforded under the direc uon of Messrs.

S UN-OFFICE, TH it LE O'CLOCK. The case for the prosecution having closed, the Learned Judge called on the prisoner for' his defence. lie immediately rose, and having bowed to the Court, proceeded to read frorri a written paper, no a denial of the facts, her rather an exculpatory address. His suffering's had been known to a very few. His life had been a sea of troubles and vexation, and ruin stared him in the face which ever way he turned. He declared solemnly, that he had never put one shilling of the money in his own private purse. Every action of his life had been founded in the most !audible zeal to resuce the Fires froth destruction. The whole weight of care and trouble had fallen on his shOulders. His partners had deserted him ; two of them had overdrawn to the amount of RIOO,OOO. What was he to do ? How was he to act, placed as be was in this dreadful dilemma? Reports had gone abroad highly detrimental to him, hut he trusted a kind public would not deal harshly with him. With respect to the Lady in question, he was sure she still wished not the slightest ill to befit him. He was certain that that Lady by no means would have placed him in the awful salute tion in which he then stood. What he had done, he repeated, was not to be trek himself, and at the time hit was do. inn that for which he was now called on to answer, I n had not the most remote idea of wronging any one. He implored t h e Jury to weigh well the situation in which he had been placed, a situation which threw on him the %Omit, weight and responsibility of so extensive (mad not by his own act, but by the acts of others,) to concern already tottering on the brink of ruin and destruction. How had he been situated ? At a moment when every assistance night to have been afforded him he was left forlorn and help less. In this dilemma he had done that which his Country now called upon him to answer for, but which, could the inmost recesses of his heart be laid open, would be found to have ninny clahui on a merciful consideration. lie had felt himself called on to state thus much in ex tenuation, if not in justification of his coo duct ; and in conclusion, he threw himself ou the merciful consideration of the Jury. The inconvenience the Reporters were un der prevents more than a brief summary of the defence, but the above contains a faithful epitome of his address. Six or seven highly respectable persons gave the unfortunate Gentleman a most excellent cirri- racier.
