BAYARIAN CHAPEL, (Warwick-street, Golden-squareo —lt being generally known that a grand Te fleunt would be sung yesterday, in consequence of' the accession of his Majesty the King of Bavaria to the 'throne, this Chapel was crowded to ex cess long previous to the commencement of the service. At the conclusion of the Mass, which consisted of selections from Mo zart and Haydn, a new Te Deum, expressly composed for the occasion, was executed in a very superior manner by the 11131H hers of the choir, among whom we noticed Miss Carew, Mrs. Bedford, Signora Marinoni, the Misses Dunn, Messrs. T. Cooke, Bedford, &c. The music. which we understand to be the composition of Mr. H; G. 14Ixon, the organist 'of the Chapel, is of a very superior cast, and is quite in character with the solemn words of praise and thanksgiving it was in tended to convey. The Bavarian Ambassador and several of the Nobility were present'on the - occasion. Music.—Signor Da BEGNIS entertained a party of friends last night, at his house in 'Regent -street, and the choice of the music which was performed on the occasion did ample justice to to the reputation of the selector. We do not recollect ever hav ing heard De Begnis iii finer voice. His powerful bass was highly effective in several concerted pieces, in which he was as. sisted by Messrs. Sole Torsi, &e. and the two Misses Cawse and Miss Cubitt. The-latter young lady appeared to great'adean tage in a duet with De Begnis, and, indeed; received the ap plause of all present • We were glad to find that Piece', Who has recently been suffering under a severe mental affliction, was sufficiently recovered to be able to join in a duet. An -Italian Nobleman displayed considerable execution on a flute of-singu lar construction, having no less than sixteen keys. Pistrucci, the celebrated improvisator°, gave a specimen of his talents; and, in noticing die performers who heel contributed to the evening's amusement, devoted a stanza to the merits of Miss Cubitt, whoin he particularized as . / a Hioudina. _The company (amongst whom we noticed Lord Chesterfield, the Hon e Henry Stanhope and Lady, anir several fefuales of distinction), sepa rated at a late hour, highly gratified With their musical treat. • f-: ill I IqN, . , „,,,,,,, .:',/,''' - ks ' ...4N ::•••N.,,. - .4* - 1 i ii,. ..,..4?"%tt" - Nis- '. s• I 4 mk - 7.4 4 N. -N- ZZSts...• -,-- 1 )...

Most Lady Teazle: of the stage Have miseonceiv'd the comic page, And made her too refin'd ; KELLY, with arch and native grace, The genuine character can trace, Just as the Bard design'd. Enough of fashion shonld appear To sliew, though in a higher sphere, Yet that her former state • Breaks through the veil of polish'd life, :In hoyden airs of rustic strife, • To teaze her-peevish mate. KELLY this point exactly hits, And, mingling with the sneering Wits, Sharpens the circling jest, Her part with easy humour bears, In all their mirth and scandal shares, More pleasant than the rest. But when we see the prostrate skreen Expose her shame.dejected mien, And penitential woe, There she exerts her-plaintive art, To sympathy subdues the heart, And Pity's tributes flow. .0.11; K ELLY born with equal pow'r, With mirth to charm the passing hour Or pathoS to display, Long, long, may'st thou adorn the stage, • 'With well-known private worth engage, And WEALTU due homage pay. A NECDOTES, Esc. REINA R LA BLS 'DA - Y.—Yesterday was the anni versary of the death of OAr the Poet, in 17351, and of the cele brated Lord Viscount BARnixoToN, in 17;4. This day is the anniversary of 13albee being entirely destroyed by an. earth quake, 1759 ; and of a subscription loan to Government for 18 millions, to carry on the war, being filled in fifteen hours and twenty minutes, in 1796. A. FRENCH M A izQuis, who had undertaken to accompany some ladies to see an eclipse of the sun, at the Ob servatory at Paris, heard, on his arrival, that the phenomenon was all over. The ladies looked disappointed ; hut the Gallant Marquis, attempting to console them, said, " Never. mind, Ladies, go in ; Mr. Cassini (the Astronomer) is a ).articular friend of mine, and a very polite man, I am certain he will have the goodness to begin again." A FRENCH GRENADIER, convicted of having purloined something of no great value, was condemned to death. As they were leading him to execution, Marshal Saxe said to him, " What a wretch of a man you must be, to risk your life for the value of six francs."—" Why, General," re plied the soldier, " please to recollect that I risk it every day for only five sous." This repartee saved his life. MICHAEL KELLY records the following pun of Mr. O'Keilly,:—" One day, as lie was in the streets of Clon mel, when the Tipperary Militia were marching out of that town ; their Colonel's father had formerly been a miller, and amassed a large fortune, which he had bequeathed to the Co lonel himself. O'Keilly seeing the gallant pfficer at the head of the corps, exclaimed, " By the God of War, here comes Marshal Sack: with theflour of Tipperary at his I?ack." • • . • • MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--111CSP SPSSiOII3 com menced this day before F. CONST, Esq., Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates. The Calendar is bv no means heavy, and the Traverse paper particularly light. - There was no case. worthy of notice to-day? THE THEATRZS. Ditt Y-LAN The Schaa for Scatukil was repented on Saturday,and before a more numerous audience than: litteuded on 'the former occasion. Miss vt.r.v gave. the character of Lady Tearle, as we stated after her first appearance in the part, with characteristic spirit, and,- itt • the last scene, was very . affecting in her contrite subthis sion to her offended husband.. The rest of the characters we.re s . :represented as before, and .the Comedy was altogether very well received. COVENT-GARDRN.—A new operatic. Piece., of two acts, was brought forward on Saturday, under the whimiical title of 'Thas:/. PLOT. " Georgette Clarivelle (Madame VEST n rs), the heroine, is acknowledged by the voice of the village as the maiden best en titled to the bounty of.the Marchioness their patroness., and- is about to be crowned with white roses, aid still farther reward ed with a marriage portion according to the usage of the place. But envy begins to work in the persOn of Madame Maggs (Mrs. DAVENPORT), whose niece had vainly aspired to the reward. conferred upon Georgette. That goodly dame having espied from a convenient window, Delorme (Mr. I)u nusro, a mar ried man, snatching a kiss from the. trembling Georgette, hastens with the intelligence to the Marchioness. The married man, however, aware of her intention, - performs the same cere mony in the same place with his wife ; and when the case comes to be investigoted, satisfies the Marchioness and the assembly, that he was only indulging a little domestic gallantry, when Madame Maggs supposed him engaged in an illicit amour. Whatever humour the piece can boast anises principally from an undertaking on the part of Georgette's lover Marcel (Mr. (Mr. KEELEY), to say " Twas I, in answer to any question that might be put to him relative to the aforesaid kiss. The struggle between his veracity and his_ jetlausy, produced a Laughable contrast. In the end, the fair Georgette is crowned, portioned off, and married ; and Madame Maggs is drummed. out of the village." The piece is evidently derlye.4l from a French Farce of one . act. It. possesses no solid or strik ing merit, but it is diverting in itself, and it roi -1 tiered much more so by the skill of the per formers, and particularly by Madame VESTRIS, Miss JONES, Mrs. DA V ENPORT, K EELT, and DURCSET. It was well received; and had but two or three dissentients when announced for repetition. This Farce was followed by that of The Scapegoat, which is so well supported by all the performers that it has become very attrac tive. The last piece was Aladdin, which, as we have: before stated, has been revived with great .splendour at this Theatre.—M. MAzontEn gra tified the. audience so much by the Chinese • Dance, which lot has introduced in this piece, that lie was loudly encored. The exertion, how ever, was so much that he did not obey the Call. The clamour continued, and was so violent, that rxy was obliged to come forward and state, that - from ill health; as well as exhaustion, M. MAzu RI CR was unable to repeat the dance imme. diateiy, but would perform it again in the Ban quet scene. This apolOgy satisfied the Boxes, but the Galleries, with a shameful , want of feel ing, persevered In the demand, and when it was repeated, as promised, did not receive it with the applause which, .humanity as well as justice required,. MISS KELLY. The following letters fully justify the Mr writer, in - every point of view, for assuming the pert of Ludy Teazle, and exemplify the sound obaervation, that modesty is the sure attendant on real [LDTTErt 1.3 • " Henrietta-ntreet, Nov. 27,1825- " DEAR. Ste—l read Lady Teazle last night, and again this morning, with great attention. Ido not see the slightest difficulty to myself in performing the part. My view of her character is still the same. She appears to ine any thing but a fine Lady. Indeed, there is not a single line in the whole play which describes her either as a beautid or an elegant woman : but, on the contrary, as.haring been six months before a girl of limited eduCation, and of the most homely habits. Now, if I could reconcile it to my common sense, that such a person could acquire the fashionable elegance of high life in so short a period, I hope it is no vain boast to.say, that having bad the 1 good fortune to be received, for years past, into society far above my rank in life, and having, therefore, had the best op portunities of observing the manners of the best orders, I must be a sad bungler in my art if I could not, at least, convey some notion of those manners in the personation of Lady Teazle; but this, I repeat, is contrary to my commonsense-view of her character. Still the town, has been so long accustomed to con sider her, through the representation of Miss Farren,and all her successors in the part, in this, and in no other light, that I should really tremble to attempt my..simple reading of her character, from the dread of drawing on myself a severity of criticism which I have ever had the good fortune to escape-.—and perhaps a cen sure from the public, who have hitherto received me with so much kindness as considering I have never ventured beyond the limits of my humble abilities. After saying so• ninth, I must leave it to the wise heads who have suggested this hazard to me to determine whether the business of the Theatre is in such a position as to make the effort essential to its interests, in which case, and in' which case alone, 1 could be induced, though with fear and trembling, but " by particular desire," , to put on feathers and white satin, and make a fool of myself. I am, dear Sir, Your obedient faithful servant, F. .111. KELLY.'.' [LETTER I , . Henrietta-street, Dec. 2, 1825. " Dear Sir : —ln my great anxiety to ascertain how far I was right in my anticipation'orthe consequences of my performing Lady Teazle, I have • ventured to look into all the papers this morning;, and though the generality of diem are highly flattering anti indulgent, yet there are two which (as indeed I expected would have teen the case with all) accuse me of folly and presumption in undertaking the character. "There appears also to have been a faling (which is extremely painful to me).that , Mrs. Davison has been displaced for my advancement to one of her characters. Now, as I cannot tell them (what you told me) that she had given up the part, and that you have pressed me against my own judgment, into the performance of it, I do hope and request you will . take the trouble to write a line to the Editors of The ltio,rning licraZd, and Ths•Nc-.e Tlines, - to eionerate mefrom the cliarge of having sought to obtrude myself on the public in a character which is entirely out of my line, and which I was never ambitious to all. 1 am, Sir, your obedient faithful servant, F. 31. KN1.1.X." The public Critics seem to have founded their opinion of the character of Lady Teazle upon the manner in which it was represented by . Miss FARREN. The first representative of the part was MTS. ABINGTON, a comic actress unrivalled in her day, and a woman of an excellent under standing. . She performed the part long before Miss fir.tr,y was born, just in the manner that this popular actress now represents it. It may be`addecl, that Mrs. ABINGTON, besides her own judgment, must have had the advantage of all the lights which the author could throw upon the character. The English Stage is likely to lose Mr. T. P. COOKE for a while. That' gentleman has, we understand, accepted an engagement from the manager of the Theatre Porte St. Martin, at Paris, where he is to come out as the Monster, in Frankenstein. As the novel is remarkably popular in France, the success of the melo.drame is considered certain. Mr. WHITBREAD and Mr. IiANT(EY have each presented 501, to the Loucks!)

The Market was well supplied with nearly ail sorts of Corn last week, but there has been only few additional arrivals this morning. The weather continues rainy, and the samples of Wheat are so damp that our millers decline purchasing them, and the trade continues heavy, and. prices are further reduced Is. to 2s. per quarter. Barley for malting only supports its late value, other kinds are excessively dull and rather cheaper. Beans fully maintain last quotations. Boiling Pease are scarce and dearer.

ROYAL HUNT.—On Friday his Majesty's Stag Hounds turned out a fine Deer at Longford where there was a numer ous field of sportsmen assembled to enjoy the day's sport. The Deer shewed great sport, taking to the left by Arlington and Cranford, to the left of Hounslow by West End and Southwell, crossing the Uxbridge Road to the left of Harrow on the Hill, keeding towards Stanmore and Watford in Hertfordshire ; the Deer was at last taken in Harefield park near Rickmansworth, after above two hours and a half hard running ; it is supposed this Deer ran fifty miles ; they were 25 miles from home at the close of the chase. NORTIi Tuesday the Romney, 50, Captain N. LockYEn, C,8., returned from Quebec, with 325 officers and men of the 37th regiment of foot, under Lieut.- Col. Bruce ; one of the best disciplined (says Lord Dalhousie) and most e fficient regiments within the North American com mand. The Romney had a fine passage of 22 days from Que bec, 14 only from land to land. The last merchant ships for the season were preparing to depart on the 20th ult. The Maria transport will bring any detachments of regiments which may be intended to send to England. The Romney came into harbour, and the troops landed. They are to be stationed in Portsmouth garrison. Ott Wednesday the Arab transport, Lieutenant liasdon, arrived from Halifax in twenty days, with 355 invalids, women and children, from the troops sta tioned in Nova Scotia, viv. the 52d, 74th, 81st, and 9(ith Re giments, The Tweed (25), Capt. Frederick .Nunn, arrived at Halifax on the Bth ult.; with the Reverend Dr. Inglis, Lord Bishop of Nova Scotia, and family, on board, after a passage of twenty-eight days from Falmouth. The North American squa. dron, under Rear. Admiral Willoughby Lake, C.B. were as sembling, preparatory to going to Bermuda to winter, viz. the Jupiter (flag), Sir Wm. Wiseman Bart.; Niemen, Captain Provo 'Wallis ; Rifleman, Captain Webb ; and Pelter, Lieut. Adams. The Alenai, Catalif Houston Stewart, after bringing the October Mail froM Bermuda, was to winter at Halifax. — The Orestes, Captain Litchfield, had sailed with supplies for the unhappy sufferers at Niramichi. A liberal subscription had been made for their relief. The fires in the woods had subsided. It was hoped the loss of human life would not ex ceed 200 persons. The Tweed was to return to England in a few days, bringing Captain Canning, and the officers and crew of the Sappho, that ship having been condemned as rotten and not sea-worthy.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) To Persons connected with India, and who desire to become acquainted with the occur.. renoes in that interesting quarter of- the globe, during the administration of its late Governor- General, the Marquis of HASTINGS. The Work just published by Mr. PRINGEP on that subject is strongly recommended. This Gentleman, from the situation he held, could not fail learning every transaction of importance, and he has now given to the Public his observations thereon in so clear an enlightened a manner as to render his account one of the most interesting Books that has for some time appeared, THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY gatracts from the Morning Papers, Dcc. 5, 18(tti.. [THE TIMES.] It appears by the West of England Papers, that the failure of Sir W. Elford'e Bank has produc ed a degree of distress and consternation more extensive and hopeless than had been at first sup posed. 'The issues of that establishment had con sisted in a great measure of 11, notes, a species of paper which naturally forces its way into the poorest families, and 's hich,. in case of a bank ruptcy, spreads proportionate suffering among those who are least able to bear with the slight est reverse. The mischief arising from the, stop-, page of this bank has been further angmented by the recent failure of other hous . es the same neighbourhood ; an increase of confidence,aud , a consequent enlargeinent of operation, having necessarily accrued to those firms which survived. their brethern, and having,, therefore, only aerve4 • to give a wider range to the calamity which has now overtaken them. Since the'eharter.of the- Bank of England circumscribes. ithin such narrow limits the remedies which. Parliament can imme diately have recourse to, fOr improving the system., of country banking, there seems, at least, to be...-. no obintion to that expedient, against which . Ms , chartered privileges rested monopolies can be. pleaded—namely, a repeal of the Act of Parlia ment for over-running the nation with one pound notes, put forth for the benefit of country bankers, hut to the sensible risk and too frequent ruin of those-Who -enjoyed .no, more solid medium of cit... culation. If private banks at a distance from the capital were precluded from this arbitrary issue of small notes, and forced by a summary process to exchange their own larger notes for those of the Bank of England or for gold, nope . but men of considerable property could venture upon the bu siness of a country banker ; the poorer classes would be paid in a currency proof ag ainst disaster from commercial vicissitudes, and the evil of in-.. solvency among the dealers in money would re ceive an active check, if it could not be obtained altogether. Our city correspondents describe the agitation arising an - long the manufacturers iu the central and eastern counties as little ipferior o that which exists in the west. The misfortune there; too, has been no other than that of trading on an artificial capital, the fruit of ileccunmotia tion afforded with little caution. The remedy, therefore, must be by measures directly opposite to those which gave birth to the disease—lst, 4 restraint on the facility of discount ; 2d ; a r e t peal of the tax on bread. [MORNING HERALD.] The Sessions commence at Clerkenwell this day, and at the Old Bailey on Thursday. It has often struck es as extraordinary, that crimi nal justice should be administered in the metro- '" polis of the empire in a manner so materially different (and that in some respects for the worse) • to that which prevails upon the Circuits in all other parts of the kingdom. At this very time: when two of the Judges are proceeding on an extra circuit through the Home. Counties, the greater part of the criminal offenders in Middle. sex are about to he tried by Judges appointed by the Corporation of London. There are three striking differences in the mode of adminis tering justice in Middlesex to what exist* in any other county ;—first, as to the Grand .. Jury, who are generally composed of persons of inferior rank and intelligence to those who form the same tribunal in other counties ;- 2dly, that instead of being brought indiscrimi- • nately from different parts Qf the county, they:. • are generally taken front one neighbourhood or parish, and therefore also subject to the same lo- • cal prejudice, if there be any ;—and 3dly they, are not charged by, or in any way of intercourse with the Judges, who instead of assisting and informing them of their duties, as they do else where, do not themselves assemble till great part _ of the business of the .Grand Jury has been di-- charged, and then in a Court far distant from them, ' The second difference exists in the practice we have already alluded to, of the greater part of the cases being tried by Officers of the City of London, and those sometimes liable to he a ppointed with no great reference to their ability.—And lastly, the reconsideration which the cases of capital convicts undergo before the King in Council un der the Recorder's Report, which exists no where else. Most, if not all of these variations, seem to originate in the privileges which the Citizens of London claim and exercise of nominating the Sheriff of the county, in return for which they are at an enormous expence in maintaining the county prisoners in Newgate, and have their Law Officers named in the King's Commission for holding the Gaol Delivery. It is true, that three out of the twelve Judges aro also named in rotation in such Commissions, and attend at every Sessions; but whether it be that only the long and difficult cases are submitted to them, or that their Lordships void, es becomes them, the unseemly haste with which such trials are sometimes conducted, the proportion of the pri soners which they actually try is very small in deed, as appears from the abstract which we pub lish at the close of every Sessions. if the labours of these Sessions are greater than the Judges can, in addition to their many other duties, well per form, we see no objection to some new arrange ment by, which the Crown may be authorized to appoint an addition to their number for the pur pose, or competent persons to assist them ; but there does seem to be an anomaly which we cannot reconcile to our notions either of .. judicial dignity, of constitutional jealousy, or of public responsibility, that the Court of Common Council should appoint the sludges who are to try altar-tenths of the cases which occur in the most important, if not the highest, Criminal Court in the kingdom, and those, for the most part, offences arising just as much out of the City of London as if they oc curred in Yorkshire or in North Wales ! Thtk practice too implies and increases an evil whiell has long called for alteration—we mean that (sot peculiar only to this Court) of persops being one day advocates, and the next day Judges. There is something so incompatible, n - qt 0 r •°~ 'a ,._ . ~ ~
