Mr. HEALD rose to open this petition on behalf of the Mayor of Stamford, but said that in consequence of an intimation just made to him, he should rather apply that it might stand over. The Master of St. John's College, Cambridge, had a right of presen tation, and he had supposed the petitioner, who was in the same interest,acted in concert with the master. It seemed, however, that the master intended to oppose. Mr. PEPYS said the master did not intend to oppose, unless he saw reason to do so. He wished the matter to stand over to the next day of petitions.

These subjects are illustrated by a variety of highly interesting cases, together with the Miseries of a secret Vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes. In the one it will be fon .d the unfailing source of Barrenness, the other have its rr.

THE DISCOVERY.---A person praising the personal - Charms of a very plain woman, before Foont, the latter asked hint " And why don't you lay claim to such an accomplished beauty?" cc What right have Ito her ?" said the other. " Every right, by the laws of all nations, as the first discoverer." The undertakers who, for some time, were e mployed in removing the dead bodies from St. Martin's Church-yard to the Burial -ground at Camden-town, have reaped an abundant harvest. The Commissioners of the Woods and Forests agreed to give ' any sum under 101. for each body so removed. The largeness of the sum occa- j sioned a regular canvass by the undertakers amongst the middling and poorer classes of the 'parishioners; and two guineas for each body, in addition to their gratuitous ser vices, were offered by these undertakers to the resident people for permission to be employed'. The cost attending this ceremony, including the premium, might he three pounds, when these persons instantly demanded nearly ten from the Commissioners, who were not aware of the trick, until they' had actually paid away upwards of two thousand pounds. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—In the last session of Parliament an Act was obtained for making that part of the Roman-ridge which extends from Castleford to Aberford into a turnpike-road, to join the Leeds and Barns dale road, at Glass Houghton. On Thursday, as some workmen were employed in lowering the hills, they dis covered ten human skeletons in tolerable preservation, close to the east side of.the ridge, and near the point where it is intersected by the road from Ledstone to Kippax. The skull and jaw -bones of one of these skeletons were of more than ordinary dimensions, and the teeth were sound and well set in the jaw. -42 respect to the time and occasion of this deposit, by the side of the Roman ridge, it is diffi cult to form a conjecture, but it is probable that these are the remains of warriors who fell eithei in the wars of the Roses or in the Pilgripiage of Greece.,..-Sheffield courant, The MAS;EII. of the ROLLS resumed his sittings this evening. His Honour was occupied upon petitions. SOLICITORS' RELAY.- , BODENS v. HILL. In this case a petition was presented on the,part of a person who had established a claim upon the estate in question as a specialty creditor to the - amount of BQOI. praying that the future conduct of the'cause-might be taken out of the hands of the present' solicitor, and confided to the solicitor of the petitioner, on the ground that the former solicitor had neglected, for a period of nine months, taking certain proceedings in the cause, in consequence of which the payment of the petitioner's debt had been improperly delayed. Mr. PEPYS , in support of the petition, en t ere d into long details of the various proceedings in the cause. The petitioner had been declared a specialty creditor of the testator to the amount of 800/..50 long ago as 1822, and the solicitor had delayed, since January last, taking the necessary proceedings to obtain the Master's report. The funds in the cause had, in consequence, remained locked up during the whole of the long vacation, and the cre ditor had been kept out of his money, which he might otherwise have obtained several months ago. Mr. TRESLOVE and other Counsel were heard in opposition to the petition. The MASTER of the Rom.s declared thai:, in his opinion, the solicitor had been guilty of most gross delay. Instead of prosecuting the cause as be ought to have done, he allowed it to sleep for nine months, and by not obtaining the Master's, report before the long vacation, had put it out of the power of the Court to make the necessary order for the payment of the creditor's debt. Under these circumstances, •his Honour felt bound to take the cause out of his hands, and to confide its future con duct to the solicitor of the -petitioner, in order that it might be prosecuted without further delay. QOURT OF KlNG'$ BENCH, Nov. 5. ATTWOOD V. MUNNINGS. This was argued as a special case. The trial of this action took place so long ago as January, 1824, when a case was directed to be argued. After long discussion, the Judges were unamtnously of opinion that the plaintiffs had no ground for the action, and consequently nonsuited them, by which the defendant has got rid of a claim to a very large amount. BAKER V. THE HON. CAMAIN GRANTLEY BERKELEY. This was an action of trespass and assault. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL scat d these. At one period of our liaptorY• the peopl. of tingdcm wetu - oppressed by the forest laws, within the pur lieus of which the King was at liberty to pursue his game without regard to private rights. At the present time, however, but few of those.places re mained. Many of the Jury, from their rank in life, were probably addicted to field sports, and loved hunting; but it was proper that they and all the nation should know, that as the people at one time complained of their King, so an individual might now complain of any of his fellow-subjects who should insist upon trespassing over his property. — By the law of the land, the most insignificant person had the same right to enjoy his property without violation that the highest Peer possessed. There was no difference, and if the labouler and farmer chose to occupy their farms without being tres passed upon by hunters, they had a right so to do, and the man who opposed that right, and in defiance of it, committed a trespass, whoever he was, was amenable to the law. The plaintiff in January 1824, had given express notice to the defendant and to others, that he did not choseto have his lands trespassed upon, for they were of a nature that would suffer much damage from the trampling of horses. Notwith standing this noti c e, th e injury complained of was committed on the 31st of December last, when the defendant, accompanying his own stag-liFinds, pur- Sued the stag across the plaintiff's property, com mitting considerable damage. The plaintiff was in his farm, threshing out his oats, and the gates of his barn were open. The stag had been much worried, and was exhausted; the clear. proof was, that it took refuge among the habitations of men, for it took the direction of the b2ra, followed by the dogs and huntsmen. The plaintiff, aware he had given notice, stood by his gate and opposed all entrance. He was apprehensive that so great a number of per sons, with their horses and dogs, would destroy his oats as they had destroyed his grass. He locked the door of the barn ; but while he was attempting to do it, the defendant, saying "Will any body help to pull the barn down ?" aimed a blow at him, and with the assistance of his friends, attacked my client, who, for having committed the heinous offence of locking up his own door, was knocked down, his face made all bloody from his month bleed ing; and to add to his distress, his wife, who was pregnant at the time; saw"what was done, and rush ed to his assistance. Thomas Forster, a farmer, examined by Mr. AL DERSON, proved the notice served upon the defen dant on the 23d of January, 1824. James Page, a labourer of the plaintiff, was at work in the field on the Saturday after last Christ mas-day. Saw the stag - come over the field. There were a great many dogs after it. Witness went to assist his master. . Many horsemen went over the hedge galloping. The stag ran over the plaintiff's field into the road, and turned in the direction of the plaintiff's farm-yard, where witness saw a great many people. The plaintiff was closing the barn to k e ep the people out. The defendant, dressed in an orange-coloured coat, with many people with him, was trying to pull him away. Witness saw the de fendant strike the plaintiff, but whether he first struck him with the fist or whip he could not say. The plaintiff's mouth was full of blood. Witness saw the defendan; then lift up his whip to strike the plaintiff because he would not let him go into the door, and another man, named Davis, stopped the blow,. which was with the butt-end of the whip. They foreed'the barn open by main force. The de fendant said he would tear the barn clown. A great number went in then. The deer was in the barn. The plaintiff had been thrashing oats, which lay all about the floor. They were spoiled by the feet of the people. Witness was struck severa l t i mes o ver the arm and head. The_ blow over the head would have much hurt him, had it not been for his hat. William Poulton ) butcher, saw Mrs. Baker com ing out crying, " For God's sake help my husband, he will be - killed." Witness went to his assistance,_ and received a'blow on the face froth the butt-end of la whip. The plaintiff was trying to lock his barn door, and witness saw the defendant lift up the end - of his whip to strike him, and if it had hit him, wit ness thinks it would have split his skull. There wa s a great scuffle. The defendant said "he would knock the barn down." They got the barn door open. Joseph Atkins, a farmer, estimated the damage done to the land at 231. 12s. 6d. Mr. BROUGHAM had often wondered at the great ingenuity of his friend in dressing up a case, but sel dam more so than on the present occasion, for, like a great artist, he had contrived to elevate his sub ject, which :was a very homely one, and begun with t he forest laws, which being now antiquated, were not so much at one's fingers' ends as the statutes were, but he had not shown the particular connexion between the code of forest laws and the action of " Baker against Berkeley." The Berkeley Hunt extended over a great district ; and as the notice had been served nearly three years before the tres pass, the defendant, it was clear, had not during that period trespassed upon the plaintiff's ground, or shown any disrespect to farmers, without whom he was ready to admit that landlords Would be a very poor race. The stag was turned out ten miles off, and not having been served with a notice, ran to the plaintiff's ground, where it was pursued by the dogs, and then it took to the farm-yard, The defendant did not goover the grounds, and far from tieipising the notice, rode round by the road.' • The object was to save the deer to hunt it again; (brit was never intended to be killed; and the hist riders on these hunts generally get up to the stag and pull the dogs off. They saw that the stag had got into, the barn, with several dogs and only two men ; the inevitable consequence was the death of the stag, and they rushed on humanely for'the purpose of saving the stag. From the information he (Mr. Brougham) had that morn ing received, the first blow was struck by the plain tiff, and there ought to have been a plea of justifi cation. The offer of compensation was made by the defendant, but the plaintiff's answer was very in sulting. Holt, the whipper-in, proved that the stag was turned out ten miles from Harrow. Witness was the first belonging to the hunt who went into the plaintiff's yard. The barn door was shut; he asked the plaintiff to let him in. The plaintiff answered, " He would be -- if he did, he did not care if the hounds and deer were both killed." When witness got in the barn, the doors were closed upon him imme diately. When they Were open, he saw the de fendant, who said he would pay all damages. • The hounds were upon the stag, who lived only a quarter of an hour afterwards. He was worth fifty guineas. Witness saw Poulton present a pitchfork at Mr. Norton's breast: Mr. White, of Grosvenor-place and of Warren house, Uxbridge, saw the defendant at the plaintiff's barn-door, his mouth was bleeding very much. He said that his stag was shut in, and he begged help and offered compensation. The conduct of the plain tiff's people was very violent. Witness was struck and nearly knocked down. • The defendant's con duct was not violent. It was the custom to save the deer if you could. Mr. Baring, nephew of Sir Thomas Baring, stated that the conduct of the plaintiff and his men was very violent. 'The defendant-and his party were peace able. Witness was hurt in the shoulder with a corn shovel. The ATTORNEY-GENERALhaving replied, the Jury found their verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1001. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Nov. 3. COURT AND CIVIC iotasgs.—RICHARDSON D. CHILLING L4O aTR. Mr. BOLLAND, for the plaintiff; stated that this was au action brought to recover 61. 95., for articles of ladies' apparel, aipplied by his client to the wife of the defendant. The items of the bill were really amusing. A white silk dress, 2/. ; a red silk pe lisse, 21. 10s.; a turban, 3s. Gd,; a flower, Gd.; a lace veil, 7s. 6d.; a silk crape hat, 2s. 6d.; a pair of satin shoes to match the turban, Gd.; and a child's dress, 4s. Gd. The Learned Counsel was told that the pelisse, charged at 505., cost near 201.; at all events he knew that he had paid nearly that sum for one (a laugh); and that ether articles were also proportionally ;valuable, only they had been worn once at the west end of the town, but had found their way into the city in time for the Lord Mayor's day, but it was rather derogatory to a citizen to refuse to pay for the decoration of his lady at so cheap a rate.---(Laughter.) After the Learned Gentleman had made other humorous remarks upon the case, he called wit nesses to prove that the articles were of considerable value, and that the terms were for ready money. Mr. Chillingworth, ,in propria persona, cross examined the witnesses with considerable acumen, but unfortunately a letter was produced, written by him to the Plaintiff, which promised payment within a month ; hence his plea of six or twelve months' credit was nullified. _ _ . The RECORDER regretted that a case of such trifling importance in itself should have occupied the attention of the jury for such a length of time. It had been proved that the dresses sold were valuable and:might, for aught lie (the Recorder) knew, make a display is an adjoining apartment on the 9th of November.—(Laughter.) The lettc - put in, which was admitted to be the plaintiff's hand Writing, ren dered him ex curia, and his plea nugatory ; therefore he could only direct a verdict for the plaintiff; but if the Jury thought otherwise, they wonld say so. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff, for 6!. 9s. and costs.

Yesterday forenoon, about ten o'clock, the Rothesay Castle steam• packet sailed from the Broomielaw with upwards of, one hundred passengers. When she had got about six or seven miles down the river, the large steam-vessel Erin, of Dublin, came in sight, and it was un derstood the necessary preparations were made by both pilots to steer clear of each other ; but by one of those unfortunate circumstances which will sometimes occur in a narrow channel, even when the greatest care is taken, the vessels came into dreadful collision, to the infinite alarm of the passengers that crowded the deck of the Rothesay Castle, the greater part of whom in stantly made a simultaneous rush to s a v e them selves by leaping on board of the Erin. About twenty of them succeeding in doing this, as the Rothesay slowly passed under the side of the other vessel after the shock; but the piper of the Rothesay Castle, and a boy, in attempting to save themselves in this way, unfortunately fell overboard.. We are glad however to learn, that by the, united exertions of the steam-vessels, who instantly loweredboth their boats, they were hap pily rescued from their . perilous situation. The Rothesay Castle was so very materially damaged that she was obliged to put into dock in Dum barton to repair. The Erin has also been par tially injured.--C/asgotv Herald. happy elasticity of mind, by which the fair Authoress was enabled to adapt herself to all the diversities of life and manners as exhibited suc cessively in the Courts of Saint Petersburgh, Stockholm, Versailles, Naples, and Berlin ; and, above all, the same unbounded rage for lively good-humoured scandal. That the leading anecdotes are authentic we have little or 'no reason to doubt. In the first place, as regards the intrigues at the Court of Denmark—to which the poor Queen Caroline Matilda *as Sa crificed, they coincide with all that we have read or heard upon the subject ;and, secondly, as respects the Court of St. Petersburgh, its dissoluteness and the characters therein e xhi,bited,,they Ivxmp nize'moSt faithftilly - with the - sketeheokif-Count Segur, whose fascinating gossip on the. same topic we reviewed some weeks since. But chiefly do we look on them as authentic—as in fact the result of personal acquaintance with the subjects — from the masterly hints by whi c h we are led to conceive the real character of that extraordinary woman Catherine 11. who, as the chief heroine of her pages, is treated by the present writer with proportionate scrupulosity ; and which hints (from their very nature) she could only have gleaned from the most genuine possible sources. The Russian Empress Catherine was, indeed, one of the most astonishing women that the world has ever produced. Count Segur has im mortalized her diplomatic abilities,her undaunted courage, her singular greatness of mind, her am bition loftier even than Napoleon's, her unerring penetration of character ; and the authoress of the volumes before us, has filled up the portrait by detailing with equal fidelity, her licentious ness, caprice, countless infidelities, consummate hypocrisy, and despotic cruelty. By the help of these two we may perhaps_ give the reader some faint idea of the Czarina's real character, which at the same time will furnish him with .no incorrect insight into the character of the present volumes. The Empress Catherine 11., daughter of an insignificant German Princess, who had little more to recoMmend her ,than the good opinion of Frederiek the Great, set off with her mother at an early age, on an experimental expedition to St. Petersburgh. Elizabeth, a widow, was then Empres, end received the fair adventurers with open arms, introduced them to her son, the Grand Duke, afterwards Peter 111., and even prevailed on him to espouse Catherine. This was her first successful step in life ; her second was to ingratiate herself as much as possible with the Russian nobility ; her third, to banish her mother ; her fourth, to procure the assassination of her husband ; her fifth, to cultivate assi duously the good graces of the reigning Em press Elizabeth ; her sixth, and final one, to procure, (on the old lady's death,) her own ac cession to the throne. In prosecuting these in trigues, it is surprising to observe the variety, of characters whom she had to reconcile. to „each other, and win over to her interests. She begin by practising what is called " the soothing sys tem," eradicated as sedulously as possible every spark of freedom or virtue in her nobility, and when, by upholding sensuality as a necessary stop to greatness, she had sufficiently enfeebled them for her purpose, and rendered them dependent on herself for support ; she turned her at tention to the lower classes, from amongst whom (with admirable policy), she selected some of her choicest Generals, taught them to look to foreign conquests alone for advance ment, of which she individually formed the nu cleus, and having thus linked their interest with her own, turned them loose and disciplined upon the adjoining countries; most of -.Odell she seized and ruled with a rod of iron. Another object of her policy was, never to suffer a favourite to become dangerous by too much power. She advanced her paramour, Stanislaus, to the throne of Poland it is true ; but finding afterwards that, from his address and courage, he was likely to become formidable, she hurled • him from it with the most relentless tyranny. Again, with respect to Potemkin, another of her favourites, she gave him the government of the Crimea, but took care to surround him with spies, so that, in fact, his administration, except in its domestic unim portant concerns, was nothing more than a splen did slavery. To all this consummate shrewd ness and indefatigable application to public busi ness, Catherine added a rage for pleasure—a zest for licentiousness, which age rather increas ed than tamed. After being closeted for twenty four hours successively with the ablest and most intriguing foreign Ambassadors, she would retire to her private apartments, and there consume another da) and night in the arms of Stanislaus, Potemkin, Momonoff, or Prince Salvotski. Alto gether, her life and varied adventures would form a most comprehensive subject for history, as they would embrace in their wide scope, the character of the greatest men of the age, the most surprising incidents of the last century, such as the partition of Poland—the intrigues with the Porte—the early parts of the French revolution, and the causes of the rise of that gigantic power which is now, with both arms extended, grasping at Con stantinople on the one side, and at Persia on the other. After leaving the Court of St. Petersburgh, cur fair authoress proceeds to Copenhagen, where she learns all the particulars respecting the accusa tions of Queen Caroline—which she decidedly pronounces unfounded—arrives subsequently at Paris, in time to discover that Marie Antoniette was equally calumniated, and hears from a Ger man Baron (whose christian and sirnames we regret that the confined limits of a newspaper will not allow us to insert) that the poor Queen of Prussia fell a victim to despondency, brought about by Court intrigues. The moral of all this is really, very distiesing. It would almost seem that the good things in life are left to the callous and the unworthy ; while the young—the virtu ous—the beautiful, th ose w h o ar e formed by nature, expressly to s h ow h ow . nearly in some instances she could approach to divinity, are left, after they have fluttered their brief' course, to wither'away in the very extreme of wretchedness.

Caroline Matilda, the young and peerless Queen of Denmark fell a sacrifice to Court calumny. Sophia, Grand Duchess of Russia—the Queen of • Prussia ; together with a hundred others, were all equally unfortunate, chiefly because they were of exalted stations in the world. What a dread .fill tax, in all countries, and in every age, must this same rank pay for its supremacy. The Pro perty Tax is nothing to it. But ourlimits warn us to a conclusion ; let it suf . fice to say that the volumes before us are replete,from first to list, with anecdotes (sadly mismanaged in point of arrangement) of almost every conti-, nental Court ; from. which, by way of sample, we give the following, very 'pleasant bit of scandal, As a proof ofan actress's simplicity (that strange anomaly in art) , it is little short of miraculous : Constantine, quite intoxicated with the beauty of Made moiselle 'Hentchel, and charmed by the talent and grace which she displayed in the rep;esentation of " Armide," sent word to the young actress that in two days lie pro= posed to pay her a visit " after leaving .the theatre." Mademoiselle Hentchel, who, although extremely handsome, had no great sharpness of apprehension, was quite in rap tures at this announcement, placing the anticipated honour of the Grand Duke's visit purely to the account of the ability she bad manifested in her profession. She there fore made (Wet) , preparation to recive this instance of Im perial homage in due form. She caused a magnificent collation td be provided, and invited several persons to meet and welcome his Highness; amongst others the Baron de Mertens and the Author ; and, that no'portion of ceremony should be wanting, she illuminated every step of the stair-, case that conducted to her apartments. At the appointed hour Constantine arrived, and nothing doubting that his intimation had been " properly under itOod; (although somewhat startled by the lights on the staircase,) he entered the apartments of the fair danseuse, accompanied by his aid-de-camp, ;Colonel Alexandnoffi•botb carefully wrapped iss , huge.eloaks.. As soon as Madernoi.• selle Hentchel came to receive him, the Grand Duke, with out the 'slightest ceremony, and with his accustomed liveli ness of manner, addressed to her a whole string of compli ments. He then turned to a harpsichord which stood in the room, and endeavoured to' draw a few notes from it ; perceiving which, Mademoiselle Hentchel asked if he would like her to play the.overture of the ballet of " Ar , mide," wherewith he had expressed himself so much pleas ed. Constantine answered in the affirmative; and charm ed with her poWers of execution, grew- still more lavish in praise of his fair enslaver. Indeed lie waxed warmer and warmer in his addresses, and would in all probability, have swiftly manifested the real purpose of his visit, had not Mademoiselle proposed an adjournment into the . next"room, wherein refreshments were set forth. The gentlemen complied ; but what was his surprise and disconcertment, when, on the folding doors being thrown open, Baron de Mertens presented himself, and a whole bevy of company appeared ranged behind him ! This reception was more than. his Highness had bargained for. Hastily wishing Mademoiselle Hentchel good-night, he summoned Alexan droff, snatched up his cloak, and retired " in the utmo s t disorder." In descending the staircase, which they did with great precipitation, the trains of their, mantles caught the ropes whereto the lamps were affixed, and down came the whole apparatus ; glasses, and oil, and garlands tumb ling in " confusion dire," and" with no small uproar, about the feet of the adventurous pair. Having reached the street, they jumped into a coach and disappeared:. This incident gave birth to a good deal of raillery,-and not a little misrepresentation.

The following remarks on this subject are con tained in a letter addressed by the late celebrated Von Weber to the Musical Director of the Leipsic Theatre, in reply to some inquiries of the latter re specting the correct time of the various musical pieces in the Opera of Ettryanthe:— " Every.singer imparts, though unconsciously', the colouring of his own individual character to the dra matic character which he sustains. Thus two sin gers, the One possessed of a slight and flexible voice, the other of an organ of great volume and power, will give the same composition in a manner widely different. The one will, doubtless, be more animat ed than the other; and yet both may do justice to the composer, inasmuch as both mark the gradations of passion in his composition, faithfully and ex pressively, according to the nature and degree of power possessed by each. But it is the duty of the Music Director to prevent the singer from deceiving himself, by following too exclusively what at first ap pears to him most suitable. This caution is parti cularly necessary with respect to certain passages, lest the effect of the whole piece should suffer for the sake of some favourite roulade, which the singer must needs introduce. For instance, if a singer cannot throw sufficient fire and force of expression into the latter passages of the air of _Eglantine, he had better simplify, than attempt to ornament them ; otherwise the impassioned character of the whole piece must sustain an irreparable injury. By the same rule, if a performer cannot do justice to the strong and vindictive air of Elvira in the Opferfest, she will much less injure the work by omitting it altogether, than by giving it to the hearer in the-style of a tame solfeggio. " It is, and probably will continue to be, one of the most difficult of problems, so perfectly to unite song and instrumental accompaniment, in the rhythmical movement of a composition, as to make them amalgamate; that is, to make the latter sustain, heighten, and enforce the expression of the passion; for song and instruments are, in their nature, repugnant to each other. " Song, by means of emphasis, and verbal articu lation, gives to the measure an effect which, perhaps may be compared to the uniform breaking of waves upon the shore. Instrumen`q, and particularly those of the stringed kind, divid‘ the time into sharp beats, mathematically true, like those of the pendu lum. Now, justness of expression requires a union of these conflicting properties: The movement ought not to be a tyrannical check—a driving mill-hammer--but must be to the composition what pulsation is in the animal economy. There is no slow movement in which passages demanding el us tiN e h s a a t ry is t o hereexpression. said, i d a ac celeration do not occur. On the other hand, there is no quick movement but what requires, in many pas. sages, moderate retardation. These changes, in par ticularto think a s h e i sm,s are f absolutelyjustified, by necessary c v s rushing into a hair-brained mode of performance, tearing at pleasure into very tatters, any number of bars he may think proper ; a mode of proceeding which cannot fail to excit e th e same f eel i ng i n t h e hearer of taste, as is prod uce d b y . t h e c l own who distorts his limbs to am use t h e mo b. N o; let the acceleration and retard a ti on o f t h e ti me be such as to convey the idea of th e i r b e i n g dictated by feeling. Nor ought these modific a ti on s, whether in a m u si ca l or in a poetical point of view, to be ad mitted, ex cept in accordance w ith the tone and character o f the passion expressed. ‘ln a duet , fo r instance, twu characters whi c h con trast with each other, will re quire a diffe ren t m ode of expression. Of this, the duet between LuCiniue and the High-Priest in the Vestale, may serve as an example; the greater the thepassages in the part of. he High-Priest, and of energy and •those of Lucinius, proportionably the more degree of dignified passion to composure given to striking will be the effect produced ; and yet music has no marks or signs by which all this, important as it confessedly is, can be denoted. " Such indications can be found only in the feel ing of the performer, or of the director; if they exist not ino e of a t n h y e two, ross the metronome stakes. As is to unable to supply the want ; all that this can do is, mecha nically t Y o pre at tempt to denote all the delicate shades of feeling, ,and the consequent modifications necessary to give full effect to a performance, I have found every en deavour fruitless, and have desisted from the task as hopeless. " Such indications as I can gi ve , I sen d, not w i t h azy w b, but ope in that theysvill satisfy th e en d y ou h ave i n compliance with y our friendly request. " CARL MARIA VON WEBER."
