(From the Calcutta Weekly Messenger of May 30.) - - - The late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of this Presi dency, whose lamented death so deeply afflicts us, has been such a short time in this country, that the opportunities of of exercising the important functions of his station have not been sufficiently frequent to enable the public to form a due es timate of his worth. Ile has upon one occasion, and one only, presided in the Supreme Court at the hearing of a cause, when indeed, it must have been obvious to all present, that he pos sessed, in no ordinary degree, high qualities for the judgment scat; a clear and quick perception, and a calm and dignified temper ; collecting facts with most patient investigation, and deciding upon them with prompt judgment. In this Presi dency much of the business of the profession of the law is trans. acted before a Judge at Chambers; and many subjects of complaint are there laid before him in the shape of peti tions. Sir ChristOPher Puller test :two whole weeks at Cham bers, in his turn, as Chiefiustictiiif the Supreme Court ; when the facility and readiness of his dispatch of the business brought before him excited observation. The professional gentlemen, who have been in attendance before this excellent Judge, will do justice to his merits; their habit, of business will have ena bled them to appreciate his qualifications, and I am sure that they can have but one opinion, that these qualifications were of the highest order. To the supplicant by petition lie was at once theicind friend and righteous judge, lending his aid in all ' cases within his jurisdiction that appeared to retptire it, and dismissing with kindness those which he had no power to redress. No one has preferred a petition to him without the satisfaction,. either of obtaining the relief he was entitled to, or of being conscious that his complaint had been carefully considered, and was dismissed only for want of the means of applying a remedy by summary jurisdiction.-- Thus had the late Chief Justice, in the short space of five weeks from his arrival in Calcutta,* established a charac ter which gave a happy presage of the benefits the public were likely to have derived from his strict administration of justice, if it had pleased the Almighty to have permitted him to re. main amonst us. But he has thought proper to call this pure spirit from the vanities of this world to place it, as we may surely hope, in those region s , w h ere " i s a reward for the righteous.' '—Sir Christopher Puller was a scholar of high at tainments; in his boyhood he gained early distinction by his ' proficiency at Eton College, of which he was one of the many illustrious ornaments; from this school high character followed ! him, and kept pace with his career at the University of Oxford. where, as a member of Christ Church, he gained high academical honours, and established a reputation for morality, integrity, in dustry,andability, which he sustained throughout his meritorious life. lie became first known to thepublic as the joint reporter with his friend Mr. Serjeant liosanquet, of cases decided in the Courts of Common Pleas, Exchequer Chamber, and House of Lords. This was before he was called to the Bar, and during his pu pilage under that eminent and virtuous Judge Mr. Justice Bay - ley. The superior merit of the reports has uniformly been ac knowledged, as well frern the Bench as from the Bar. For many years he had maintained a high rank as an Advocate in the Court of King's Bench, and o n t h e Oxford Ci rcu it ; a nd of' late had become King's Counsel, and one of the leaders of the Circuit. His professional course in England was such as justified his friends in the expectation that he would be in due time called to the Bench there. Of such expectations he must be supposed to have been in some degree conscious; yet he did not hesitate to forego them, in. the hope of being useful upon a more extended sphere in India. As soon as he had been appointed to the high station which his Sovereign had selected bim to fill in this coun try, he set about acquirin g knowledge of the history, laws, cus toms, and languages of India ; and lie pursued his inquiries with so much perseverance and discrimination, that he soon laid a finoulation for the mo re extended research' which his residence in this country would hav e opened to him. His great object anti aim was to be useful in India—to aid the great work of disseminating knowledge and religious instruction—and to pre. serve and continue to the millions who look up to this Govern ment for protection, the benefits of British Jurisprodence.-- This is hut an imperfect outline of the public character of him whose light has beamed fora moment only in our horizon ; loa y d il p o er permitted e rs t , l ilet however,in,),tios n thenh humbly y co .e t b l welietotutror thtgetittittdowthicierwfeicltl happy had it been for us if the dispensations of the Almighty ad jtnd putteth down one, setteth up another," and " I ll s footsteps are not known." —lf the writer of this had thought that it would be proper on the present occasion to disclose the private character of the' late Chief Justice, he intett have declined such a duty, from a consciousness of his unworthiness to do justice to it. Let it tat&e here that lie was a man of singular piety, virtue, and benignity. His religion was not in the mouth alone, but was deeply and permanently settled in his mind. Well versed in the Holy Scriptures, (which l ie was in the constant habit of reading, and considering with that singleness and simplicity of mind, which is best fitted for the reception of the truths of Divine Revelation,) he was a Christian in faith anti PraCtice. In him, all who knewhim, could " mark t h e per f ect man, and behold the uptight," and " the end of that man is peace." • lie arrived in Calcutta in the night of Wednesday, the 14th of April, and was taken ill on Tueiday the 111th inst.

It is now ascertained that they . are mad, and thesanie malady has shewn itself in . every animal they have bitten. In several villages, particularly at Aremberg, the farmers have been obliged to shoot their cows, the disorder having shewn itself among them in a terrible manner. In the Duchy of Nassau, measures have been taken to hunt dews the Foxes, but the rued ones have not yet readied the lett banlc' of the Rhine. Some apprehension also is entertained that , ;the same disease may be propagated among other wild animsls, and caution has been recommended. in purchasing and eating venison.—(French Paper.)

Extract front a Meteorological Journal for September, 1824, kept at the Observatory of the Academy (Dr. Bum En's), Gosport, fluids : - The greater part of this month has been wet, and the tempera ture of the air very variable. The difference between the highest and lowest temperature for this period is forty-one de grees, which is an uncommon change at this season of th e y ear , when the days and nights are nearly equal, and was the cause of calds, &e. The thermometer here on the 3d inst. rose to 79 deg. in the shade, which is the maximum heat fur the pre. lent year; a circumstance that has not happened so late in the summer by eleven days during the last ten years. At the be ginning of the month the heat is said to have been so oppres sive in the sun-shine, in some parts of the.country, as to de. prive unimulr, at their ordinary wink, of life. The difference between the' diurnal temperature of the 3d and 20th, was 20 degrees ; and we had hoar frosts early in the mornings of the 2t;th 28th, and 20th. • The mean temperature of this month is at least one degree and akar higher than the mean of September for mans. years past, and two degrees and one-fifth higher than that of Sep tember, 1823. The temperature of spring water Is still In creasing, but it is only one-tenth of a degree higher than at this time 1823. This equinoctial gales up to the present time have not been injurious in this quarter; they began on the 11 th and 12th, and came on again more forcibly at the later part of the month. • A great number of swallows took their departure from this neighbourhood on the 18th—prior to this day they had congre. gated three weeks.

The Committee of .Managers had spared no pains to engage the first rate p er f ormers i n the kingdom, both vocal and instru mental; but they were doomed to undergo some disappoint. ment, by the illness of Mr. Saitio, Mrs. Bedford, and Signo r D e Begnis, which latt er event also kept away Signora Ronzi De Begnis, his wife. Mr. Sapio was prevented, by an inflamma tion of the throat, from performing at Norwich, and is still suffering in London from the same disease .11rs. Bedford was seized with a dangerous fever, after her arrival here; and a certificate was received on Monday, from Dr. Babbington. that Signor De Bevis had a severe attack of opthalmia, and could not safely undertake the journey. Under these circum stances, the kind aid of Mrs. Hammond was readily obtained ; and MadameCatalani, Mrs. Salmon, Miss Stephens, and Mr. Brehm, undertook to perform, in addition to their previously allotted pieces, the principal parts of which had been assigned to die absentees. This arrangement, of course, has abridged the variety which the programme held out ; but, as the hub stitutes are all of the last in the. world to whom the proverb of toujours perdrix could be applied, it is probable the effect has been only to increase their labours, not to diminish the grati fication of the auditors. Sonic changes have been necessary in the schemes of the Concerts in the Theatre, and also in the Selections at the Church on Wednesday and yesterday, (in the 'church only few), but they were such as added to the !demure of the hearers, the substituted pieces being sung con more. The festival commenced on Tuesday evening, at the Theatre, with a Grand Synfonia, by Haydn, well calculated to chew the power and jadteious combination of the band. Mr. Bedford opened the vocal performances with a recitative and air. from Calcott, " Friend of the Brave," which he sang in lieu of an air of Bishop's, which had beer allotted to Mrs. Bedford. Misti Stephens and Mralrabant followed in a duet, by Hawes, " Oh, Fortnne, we hail thee," which was rapturously encored. Mrs. Salmon next sang the air, " My laxiging," with many sweet variations, and seemed to have completely recovered from the cold that prevented her performing one day at the Wake field ,Festival last week. After Mr. IVillman had gratified the audience with an admirable Concerto on the Clarinet, Madame Catalani accompanied on the Violin by Mr. Mori, the l ea d er , sing in leer usual grand style, a Cavatina and Polacca, by Cian ehettini, and received the tribute of a hearty encore, which was justly merited; both by the voice and the instrument. Mr. Brabant and Mrs. Hammond took the parts in Rossini's Ter zetto, " Crude Sorte," which had been allotted to Mr. Sapio and Mrs. Bedford, and with Madame Catalani, aiZoraide, left nothing to desire. Miss Stephens gave " Auld Robin Gray," with her usual sweetness anti pathos. She afterwards sang " Charlie is my darling," with equal effect. 111nd:tithe Catalani astonished the audience, as usual, with Rode's Varia tions ; and with Mrs. Salmon, gave to Rossini's duetto " Nella case," all its graces. Mr. Brehm was encored in the song " Let us liege to Kelvin Grove." In the course of the even. ing, Signor Vimercati astonished the audience with the sweet. tiers and rapidity. of his execution on the Mandolin. The per formance closed with " God save the King," in full chorus— the role parts by Madame Catalani, Mrs. Salmon, and Miss Stephens. The lower boxes and pit were completely filled; the gallery was nearly so; but there were seats unoccupied in the upper boxes. The Selection at the Church. on Wednesday morning, began with the introduction to Handel's Detting en 'l'e I)eum, the Solo by Mr. Terrell, accompanied on the trumpet by Mr. Harper.— Mr. Brabant and Mr. Phillips sang Dr. Boyce's duet, " Here shall soft charity repair," in beatitiful harmony. Mr. Braham took, in addition to !mown, all the parts allotted in the scheme to Mr. Sapio, and excited general admiration in " Deeper and deeper still" and " Waft her angels" from the Jepthah of Handel ; in " Lord Remember David," from the Redemp tion, and in " Gentle Airs," from Athaliah, in which lie was accompanied by Mr. Lindley on the violoncello, with such a pleasing and astonishing effect, as induced a general wish for the repetition of the air, which was readily complied with on an intimation being privately given. Madame Catalani sang Ong air " Gratin Agimus," accompanied,on the clarinet by Mr. Willman ; Handel's air, " Holy ! Holy ! Holy !" from the Redemption, and , " Sing ye to the Lord," from Israel in Egypt. Mrs. Salmon gave 4 ' The bright seraphim," ac companied on the trumpet by Mr. Harper, with greet effect, 'and also the air from Joshua " Hark ! tie the linnet and the thrush." Miss Stephens was most affectingly pathetic in " Ye sacred priests," and " Farewell ye limpid streams, from Jepthith ; and piously devout in Handel's air, " What though I trace," from 'Solomon. She also accompanied Mr. Phillips in the duet, " Graceful Spouse." from the Creation. Mozitrt'c Grand Chorus, arranged by Sir G. Smart, the con ductor, was given with much grandeur; and "the Choruses in general were powerful and effective, though the num ber of singers was short of some recent performances of the 'stone kind elsewhere. The only change from the printed scheme tbis day was in the substitution °fan air from Samson, by Mr. Phillips, for an Italian Scene of Cameron, which had been set down for Signora De Begnis. The church was es full as ft could reasonably hold, and many gentlemen were obliged to stand all the' time of the performances, which lasted from half past eleven to four o'clock. The selections were chiefly from Handel, and Haydn% Creation.. The second Concert at the Theatre on Wednesday evening was more fully attended than even that of the preceding night, and was equally distinguished far the ass em bl age o f b eauty and fashion by the presence of which it was honoured. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Mr. Sapio, &c., which we have already adverted to above, the Committee were under the necessity of nicking new arrangements and forming a new Scheme for the Concert of that evening. The grand Sinfonia (Jupiter) of Mozart was played by the band with great effect. The first vocal performence that requires particular notice was the Air Good night,' from Der Frietichutz, sung by Mr. Brahmin in a most masterly and scientific manner—the tenderness which he threw into the words ' Good night' was truly beautifuhand well deserved the encore it receivtal. Miss Stephens was also en cored in Should he upbraid.' Mr. Mori's concerto on the violin was, at once,.to the man of scientific knowledge a genuine treat, and to the audience generally an agreeable relief from the overwhelming beauty of the vocal performances. He showed the most perfect command of the instrument, ,and dis played such a brilliancy, and such a rapidity.Of execution as proved that of tone and in, these qualities, as well ail in producing fulness strength of expression, he is uneqnalunequalled)W it department. Madame Catalani introduced the rustic .air of ' home, sweet home,' in which she was completely out of her element—the bravura is her forte; in that she is undoubtedly great i • but the plaintive and simple ballad is beyond her powers ; her powers are above it. We know it is unfashiona ble to Cstalani say r such a thing, but we confess we:wOuld much rather l or av r e at i l l t e e a , rd Miss Stephemi in the song.' NVe have heard her sing it in a way to call forth the involuntary tear—but Medame produced no such effect—there was too much ineretri clouts ornament about ditOlcd, but it left, no impreaslon. In part the,l M second, Mr: Brahma was. accompanied, as r. Lindley on the violoncello, in the in the Cantata, • AlexWof Pepusch. In .reference to the pOirmance of lilt.

' and 3lr. &ahem again undertook the parts which had'heen allotted to. Mrs. Bedford and Mr. Sapid, ,end with the excep tion of 3 or 4 changes, the originel selections were performed" to the high gratification' of the company. who express'ed Their . approbation by intimating their wish in the usual manner,-for a repetition of several of the pieces. - Among Oise were Ala dame Cataltini's " Angels ever b right‘ and fair;" " Pious Orgies," by Miss Stephene; " From'inighty Kings,"' lir !Ors. Salmon ; and Luther's 'llynin, by Mr. Braham. The selec tions for this day were from a great variety of composers, and some of the instrumental parts were very fine—all' the per formers, front the organist downwards, having given thehighest satisfaction and delight to the audience. •. • The Ball at the Assembly Rooms on Thursday evening was one of the most brilliant and numerous ever remenibered. The total number was 653, including' their Graces the Dukeand Duchess of Northumberland, Lord and Lady Barrington and family, Lord Decies, the lion. Mr. Liddell t the Hon. Captain Cochrane, Sir Al. Ridley, Bart., Sir J. lalwerd .Swinburne, Bart., Lady and Miss Swinburne, Sir C. 111. L. 3lonek, Bart., Sir Charles Loraine, Bart., Sir Thonitis 'Burclon, Sir Robert Shafto hawks, the High Sheriff's of Northumberland and Dur ham, the Archdeacon of Northumberland,- Cuthbert Ellison Esq. 31 . . P., Colonel O'Callaghan, M.P., 'Wm. Russell, Esq., 31. P., Rev. Dr. Gray and family, the Rev. Dr. Phillpotts tuid fatuity, the Chevalier de Valabreque and Madanie Catalani, Miss Stephens, Mr. and Mrs. Brawn, &c.. &c: The dresst a on this occasion were very rich and splendid. The band wts led by Mr. Litollf of London, and was the insist excellent ever heard in the Room. Nothing but Quadrilles were danced. The concluding performance at the Church, on Friday morn ing, was " The Messiah." It was quite an overflow, although it was again a wet morning. The opening " Comfort ye," was given by Mr. Brahant with sublime effect, as was also the Rebuke. Catalani was in fine voice, anti charmed itocoedingly; Mrs. Salmon and Miss Stephens :.lso acquitted themselves in their usual style, albeit it may be observed, that the Messiah does not efford much scope for the display of great poiers ; its chief' excellence is in the chorus, which went off with admirable effect. The lima Concert in the evening was decidedly the best one ; it was more than an overflow. The Street wits nearly blocked up, so great was the crowd assembled before the doors prior to their being opened. A long string ofearriagea In wait ing was a novel sight. A grand sinfonia by Beethoven was the opening piece, which, as well as the grand overture in the Dtr Freisrhut4 and that of the 2414 , 0:f1ute, was performed by the whole orchestra in a way that deservedly elicited the most rapturous applause. Madame Catalani in the air of Di tont; pulpit; was wand and rich; she never gave it perhaps with greater brilliancy, or with more wonderful fancy. Miss Stephens's Echo song was an effect of vocal illusion admirably, fine. Miss Goodall sang " Bid me disc curse" in ml very cap tivating manner ; she was a great acquisition on Ilia last night, She has a sweet clear voice, and perfect intonation. The beau tiful ballad of " The Winter, it is past,' was sung in the, sweetest manner by Mr. Brabant. The Etho duett by Mr. Brahein and Miss Stephens wax vit.) , effective and pretty.— Madame Catalani was in grand voice in " Se mai turbo ;" but the finest thing of the night was Mrs. Salmon's " 0 dolce concerto," with variations, and accompanied on the flute by Nicholson ; it was a stream et' harmony, and ought to have been encored. The quintetto of " Wted Instruments" was fairly done. Brahlim's "Scots who ha'e" threw thunders of applause, and a rapturous encore. The Concerto of Lindley on the Violoncello was a wonder. ful melange of familiar airs, and the most astonishing tone and execution, Ile is certainly unique, and complete master of that instrument. The national air of Bilk Britannia was the announced finale. Catalani again gave it with all her force, fire, grace, feeling and spirit; but it was more than equalled. by graham's two last verses of " God save the King," which he gave with the most commanding energy, and yet with the strongest pathos. Altogether inch a performance wax never before heard at Newcastle. The whole audience, from its most parts of the gallery, of 1 tin rement Gentlemen who have acted as a Committee .
