Remainder 300 Marahams, 150 Bahias, 100 Pernams, 80 Sea Islands, and the rest American, Bd. a 91d. per lb. (From the Sentinelle des Pyrenees—) The following account, dated the Aldudes, Sept. 28, has been sent us :—" Since the commencement of the insurrec tion of Navarre, Leon Iriarte, with 30 horse and 60 foot soldiers belonging to the battalion of Isabel ll.'s Navarrese sharpshooters, was charged with the escort of the couriers from Pampeluna to Sos, on the frontier of Arragon. H e performed this duty with so much success, that detachments of 300 or 400 men did not dare to attack him, and at last he was sent to Elisondo with despatches for Zugarramurdi. Since then he has not been able to return to Pampeluna, in consequence of the defiles through which he must pass being occupied by bands of rebels. Under these circum stances, an officer with 32 horse-soldiers of the same battalion was charged with the duty previously performed by Iriarte, but he has not been s 6 successful as his predecessor. On the first day of his leaving Pampeluna, he and 30 of his soldiers were made prisoners near Olite, by one Manuelin, who had only 17 horse and 80 foot soldiers under his command. The prisoners were immediately shot. The two remaining horse soldiers, who were left for dead on the field, alone escaped to carry the sad tidings to their commanders. Isabel's volunteers knowing well that they will receive no quarter, it is inconceivable that they should choose rather to sur render than to sell their lives as dearly as possible. When the rebels least expected it, Iriarte made a sortie, the day before yesterday, from the building which he occupies in Elisondo, and carried off four cows, which were feeding in a meadow near that village. This squadron-chief is exceed ingly skald in this sort of coups de main. The day before yesterday the Pretender passed en to the village of Engui, having come from the valley of Araquil, in the direction of the Ahescoa. During the whole of yesterday the rebels were firing on the Misericordia, without producing any other result than the destruction of the coarse covering of the exterior walls. The Christinos only replied to this attack by a few cannon-shot. Zumalacarregni and Sagas tibelzt, who were in the Bastan, have made a movement towards Urdach. It is thought that a Christino column is approaching that valley. The troops of both parties cover the vallies of Ebro and Estiribar, but we believe they will separate without consuming the priming of a single musket." The Misericordia is an immense square building, having four stories, and a spacious court in the in side. It lies 300 feet south of the southern extremity of the only street in Elisondo, on the left bank of the Bidassoa, whose waters wash the walls of the court lying before the facade, and separate it from a small hamlet, which serves as a faubourg to this beautiful village, gratuitously converted by some journalists into a small town. The windows on the ground floor are walled up and formed into a vast num ber of loop-holes, and the exterior court is fortified by four small cannon, which the embrasures of the fortification allow to be pointed in all directions. This house was founded and richly endowed by a pious inhabitant of the Bastan, who amassed a colossal fortune in America, and who destined the place for the reception and employment of all the beggars of the valley, having in view the laudable object of extinguishing mendicity. But in the course of time the establishment and the property belonging to it were farmed by various families, and the revenues put in the chest of the valley. Iriarte's detachment occupies a large house called the Domingorenea, in face of the Misericordia, on the opposite bank of the Bidassoa, in the small hamlet mentioned above." _ _ (From the Indicateur de Bordeaux.) Three thousand five hundred men occupy the Bastan under command of Cordova, who has also taken possession' of Elisondo. The insurgents who were laying seige to this small town have fled again into Navarre, after an action, which took place on the 28th near Lecaroz, and in which they were defeated. The Carlist Junta has retired to Aranatz. On the 26th Rodil gave up the command of the army, which, until the Queen's decree takes effect, is placed under the command of General Manso. Notwith standing the reports which have been current, the death of the former of these Generals has not taken place. There were, however, three cases of cholera at Vittoria. Two cases have also occurred at St. Sebastian, and the Sanatory Junta of Irun have placed an armed trincadore at the mouth of the Bidassoa, to compel all persons and goods coming from Bilboa and St. Sebastian to proceed to Ba yonne to undergo quarantine. (From Galignani's Messenger of Monday.) We are assured that the Syndical Chamber of the Stock Exchange has resolved, with the approbation of the Minis ter of Finance, to interdict upon 'Change all time-bargains, in Spanish Stock. This measure cannot cure the evil that has been done, but may prevent its extending further.— Courrier Francais. The National announces the arrest of M. Carrel in the following terms :—" Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, M. Carrel was arrested at the place of rendezvous which he had pointed out to the Commissary of Police, who had received instructions to take him into custody, and accom panied the Commissary to St. Pelagic." The Narrateur de St. Gall of the 30th ult. has the fol lowing :—" Notwithstanding the close of the session of the Diet of Zurich, the intended revision of the acts of the Federal Compact is still spoken of. The last diplomatic notes of Count de Bombelles and the Baron de Hertling have excited unpleasant feelings here. These notes will be deemed less warrantable when we consider the circum stances which have given rise to them. Some German workmen were guilty of impropriety on a festival day. The Ambassadors demanded that they should be subjected to punishment according to law. The Government o f Berne, after having mad a judicial inquiry, returned for answer that no sufficient motives existed for prosecution. The two diplomatists hurled the thunder of their remon strances against the indocile Government, and required the Swiss confederates to expel one of their members. We scarcely think that such a proposal can be listened to." The Augsburgh Gazette of the 2d instant has the follow ing from Holstein of the 15th :—" The elections terminated are almost all in favour of liberal opinions. The interest which has been hitherto confined to electoral operation s is now directed towards the discussions of the future Cham ber. Opinions on this subject are contradictory. Some think that, in reality, the new provincial States are far from answering the public expectation, and that the new constitution is the real starting-post for all future reform ; others advocate the opinions published by Count Adam de Molke, who thinks that we ought to be grateful for the liberty already granted to us, and that we ought not to be too precipitate in our march of improvement.—The same journal quotes the funds at Vienna on the 27th ult., Metal liques, 5 per Cents. 991 ; 4 per Cent. ditto, 904 ; Bank Actions, 1,260.

The St. Petersburgh papers publish an ukase of the Em peror, stating that on the occasion of the inauguration of the monument to the memory of his brother Alexander, he has decided that henceforth an annual allowance of 2,500,000 roubles shall be divided among the functionaries dependent on the Ministers of Justice and of the Interior, under the title of supplementary salaries, and this sum will be aug mented as soon as the resources of the empire shall permit such a measure. A similar allowance has been made for the army. Letters of a recent date from Aleppo announce that Emir Bechir, one of the chiefs of Mount Libanus, has been appointed Governor of Palestine and the whole coast of Latakia by the Viceroy of Egypt. The new Governor binds himself to provide a sufficient number of troops for the occupation of the Syrian towns of Tripoli, Beyrout, and Seid, and also to have in readiness a contingent of 15,000 men to march against the Syrian rebels in case of need. This measure is considered to be a master-stroke of Egyptian policy, especially at a moment when the defection of so powerful a man as Emir Bechir might have proved fatal to the Viceregal power. According to the same let ters, the insurrection is not wholly at an end, or at least great fermentation still exists. The Viceroy has placed his troops over 30,000 workmen in the woollen manu factories. Extract of a letter from Toulon, dated the Ist instant : We are expecting 500 more sailors. Independent of the gangs of workmen which have been constantly employed upon the three-deckers, the _Montebello and the Scipion, working parties of sailors, of 80 men for the first and 50 for the second, are sent daily to these ships, in order that they may be put into a state to go to sea at a moment's notice. The levies of sailors remain open. The crews of the ships of the line at Toulon consist of 1,907 men, and the number is daily increasing from all parts of the south and by volunteers."

The Ottoman Moniteur of August 30 contains the Sultan's firman for the establishment and organization of a military force under the name of Redifi-Mansure, for all the states of the empire. It is stated that in making this important innovation the Government was aided by the information of the persons best qualified to give advice on the subject. The Viliers and Pashas governing provinces who assembled at Constantinople on the occasion of the Sultan's marriage were consulted. They were ordered by the Sultan to put together their observations,on the intended measure, and to agree upon the principles which should appear to them fitting to serve as its basis. On the first meeting it was resolved that each member of the assembly should deliver in his opinion in writing. These documents were referred to a Com mittee, for the purpose of being digested into one re gular plan, which, when prepared, was discussed arti cle by article, in subsequent meetings. Finally, the plan was submitted to a very numerous meeting of the most enlightened men of all classes, who formed a ge neral council, held at the house of the Grand Mufti. The council was attended by all the Viziers and Pashas in Constantinople, the Effendis, Professors of Public Schools, the Ministers, the Sheiks, and Ulemas from the provinces. The plan, which had been so often dis cussed, was now read. It was listened to with the most profound attention, and unanimously approved in all its parts. We are told that before separating, " all the members of the Council recited in concert prayers, whereby they implored the benediction and aid of Heaven to a measure which had for its object the honour and conservation of the Ottoman empire." The plan thus unanimously voted having received the Sultan's approbation, the following firman was issued : FIRMAN. By the divine grace and spiritual assistance of the Pro phet, when I created my regular troops, it was my wish by so doing that the Moselims in learning the art of war, such as it now exists, should be put in possession of the only means of defending my states and protecting the inhabitants. Those troops are maintained in the best order, and in a spirit of perfect discipline. Circumstances have rendered it necessary to make successive additions to their numbers, and the extent of the frontiers of the empire requires a still further augmentation ; but, were I to recruit all the young men in my states, and enrol them in the army, agriculture would suffer by being deprived of useful hands. On the contrary, if they continue in their present state, without any military instruction, they will, when the empire shall need their services in the field, be as ignorant of the art of war, as ill-organized and disciplined, as were the troops hereto fore raised in the different districts ; the expense of whose arms, equipments, and transport, though enormous, was completely useless and of no benefit whatever to the state. This the melancholy experience of past events has but too well verified. The twofold object to be attained then is, to afford my Moselim subjects the opportunity of devoting themselves to agriculture, the arts of industry and commerce, in order that they may, under my protection, enjoy happiness and tranquillity ; and at the same time to familiarize them with military tactics, that they may be able to combat success fully when the defence of the country shall require their aid. maturely considering this imp or t an t o b jec t, I re solved body of regular militia under th e name o f Afte to ma the Redifi Mansure , and it was my study to render the principles on which this force was to be organized in all r fo r respects favourable to the private interests of my subjects. I have ordered that this plan, the details of which are now adjusted, should be carried into execution in all the pro vinces of Anatolia and Romelia in which its application is required. In pursuance of my Imperial will, the Pashas, Governors of Provinces, the Sheiks and Ulemas, who, on the occasion of the marriage of the Sultana, my well-beloved daughter, were invited to repair to the capital, assembled in Council conjointly with the Ministers of my empire. Having pro foundly discussed the subject, they came to the conclusion that the organization of this force presented, on principles of religion and of administration, advantages only, the extent of which time would disclose, and the following bases were adopted by the most illustrious and venerable men of my empire. SUICIDE BY POISON. On Sunday morning last a man about forty years of age, respectably dressed in black, and having the manners and appearance of a gentleman, went into the parlour of a pub lic house, known by the sign of the Fulham-bridge, at Knightsbridge, and called for some refreshment, on which being brought to him, the waiter noticed that he emptied the contents of a small paper packet, which lie took from his waistcoat pocket, into a glass of ale, and drank it off ; no suspicion was entertained at the moment of his design, as lie appeared cheerful and quite collected. After sitting for some time he retired to the back part of the premises, and not returning for nearly three quarters of an hour the waiter went to see if any accident had occurred. The door was found fastened, and the person could be heard moaning and breathing very hard. On the door being forced open, the wretched man was found lying on the floor, writhing in agony, and the sweat actually streaming down his face, from the excessive torture lie was enduring. The landlord hu manely procured surgical assistance, when the individual was found labouring under the effect of some potent poison ; it was therefore deemed necessary to carry him without loss of time to St. George's Hospital, where he was promptly attended by Mr. Hutchins, the apothecary of the institu tion, who applied the stomach pump and other remedies, but all efforts were unavailing, as the poison had sunk so deeply into the system, that after languishing for nearly three hours the unfortunate being expired. It appears, from papers found about his person, that he was connected with the profession of the law, and it is also evident that the deceased had been induced by distress to destroy him self. Some pawnbrokers' duplicates of different articles of wearing apparel, recently pledged, of the name of John M'Creavy, were found in his fob. Beyond this there is not at present any other means of discovering who he was. The body lies at the hospital to be owned, and awaiting the inquest. FtuEs.—About a quarter before twelve o'clock on Monday night the premises of Mr. Draw, of No. 30, Con naught-terrace, Edgeware-road, were discovered to be on fire, and an alarm was instantly given, and happily in sufficient time to allow of the safe retreat of all the inmates. In a very little time after the building was one mass of lire. Five engines belonging to the London Fire Establishment with an efficient body of thirty men, and two parochial enk Tines were soon on the spot, and by their combined exertions lmceeeded in saving the adjoining houses from destruction. All the furniture in Mr. Drew's house, as well as the building its elf, was destroyed. The furniture is insured in the Royal Ex change, an d the building it i s b e li eve d i n t h e Westminster OfCce• Mr. Mayo, who occupies the adjoining house, No. 29, has su stained con siderable l oss f rom t h e h asty remova l o f hi s g nods, and tho house No. 31, which abuts on the other sick i s slightly damaged. Th e l atter h ouse was unoccup i ed. :The cause of the calamity is not ascertained. At eight o'clock. on Sunday evening, a not he r fi re occurre d at t h e h ouse o f Mr.• Charles Eyles, uph o l s t erer , o f N o. 7 , High street, Sha dwe:.l. It arose from an escape of gas in the shop, and a cc nsideiAble portion of the stoat was consumed, and the lower IN xt of the building much damaged before the flames could be g at under. (From the Asiatic JournaL) It is well known that- Maharajah Runjeet Sing has trusted more during his indisposition to ghostly advisers than to the European and native physicians who attended him ; but, whatever profundity in occult science might be conceded to the domestic chaplains of his Highness, the public is little aware how much these reverend fathers have excelled the ancient astrologers in the practical use of their art. The uncourtly speech of an old beggar woman, who ascribed the affliction of her sovereign to his oppression of the people, was not deemed at all phi losophical, and they resolved to seek the cause of the cala mity in the stars. A careful survey of the heavenly hest disclosed the fearful truth. The planet - Saturn, whose baneful influence no pious Hindoo denies, was found to be in the ascendant. - Hence, as clear as noonday, came the liver and dysentery which oppressed the Lion of the Pun jlub. Mighty as the maharaja on earth, he could not dis lodge the star from its place in the sky ; but they who ministered to his royal spirit, whether obeying his command, or acting on conceptions truly original, decided on getting rid of the malignant planet by transporting it in effigy out of the Sikh dominions into the British territory, whence it is expected that the Governor-general, with the friendship which he has always professed for the northern potentate, will lose no time in transmitting Saturn beyond the Kala panee, or salt 'ocean. The image or representative of the celestial body, in what shape is not stated, is actually on its way from Lahore to the Setledge in a c.v . drawn by oxen.;' a nd our political agent at Lodiana, it is . , the procession with due honours on tfielFontier. - Every respect is paid, on this novel journey, to the de posed father of gods and men, which he could claim before eating his children. It is needless to add that, since lie left Lahore, the maharajah has almost recovered, and will be quite well by the time Saturn reaches Lodiana.—Cawnp. ------- - THE TEA TRADE. A very numerous meeting of merchants, brokers, &c., interested in the tea trade was held yesterday, for the pur pose of proceeding with the sale of the first importation of teas from Singapore, by the Columbia, since the opening of the trade by the discontinuance of the monopoly of the East India Company. Sales have before taken place of teas imported from the Continent for exportation, but yester day's sale was the actual opening of a free trade in teas for home use. The teas were housed in the St. Katharine Docks, from the Columbia. Great interest was attached to the sale in consequence of the teas having been pro nounced by competent judges as an imitation of tea, and against the sale of which the trade intended to protest, as tending to injure the trade and destroy the public taste for teas. Garraway's Coffee-house was fixed for the place of sale, but the sale-room being too small for the number in attendance, the sale was adjourned to a commodious room in 'Change-alley, used for an academy for dancing. There were declared for sale 400 one-eighth - chests of bohea, 381 chests 15 quarter chests of young hyson, 79 chests of hyson, 114 chests of congou, 48 chests of orange pekoe, and six chests of gunpowder. The first sale. was conducted by Mr. Ewart (of the firm of Vaughan and Ewart), and on his taking his seat, Mr. TRAVERS (of the firm of Travers and Son) stated that he was desiious of asking some questions of conse quence to the tea trade of the country, when the teas under the management of Mr. Thompson were put up. Mr. EWART, in announcing his sale of teas under the free trade system, said he felt honoured in having to offer the first chest of tea under the free trade system. He was happy to notice so full an attendance, and he hoped they had come to support the principles of free trade.—(Hear, hear.) If the terms of the sale were not in accordance with the desire of all parties, he hoped that before the next occasion he might appear before them that the wishes of all parties would be consulted, and he begged to offer the teas under his direction. When the sale began great competition was evinced to purchase the first chest of tea put up under the new plan. The congous first offered realised 2s. 64d. per lb., and the other portion of the teas put up went off at 2s. to 2s. sd. per lb. in bond ; padre teas, in small parcels, realised from 3s. 3d. to 3s. 6-.ltd.,per lb. The sale having finished, ADMISSION OF A SPURIOUS ARTICLE UNDER TIIE TITLE OF TEA. Mr. THOMPSON ascended the rostrum to offer teas also brought by the Columbia from Singapore. Mr. J. TRAVERS said before the sale began he wished to put two questions to the selling broker of importance to the trade. The first was whether the tea called bohea, declared for sale, was, in the opinion of the selling broker, bohea or any other description of tea ?—(Hear, hear.) The second question he was desirous of having answered was, whether the article under the name of bohea tea had passed the Government officers as such ? He was certain that many of the most respectable persons in the trade would agree with him when he honestly stated his opinion that there was not a single particle of tea in the goods offered for sale to which he alluded.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") He was confident, if such stuff was permitted to be sold as tea, the most injurious consequences would be the result, as it would lead to the destruction of the tea trade, for it would be idle to expect that the public would long be imposed upon by such an article, as it could not be expected that such a de ceit would long be passed upon them. The effect of such rubbish being allowed to pass the Custom House would, if continued, be injurious to the trade and the public health. —( Hear, hear.) He submitted most respectfully, that the stuff misnamed tea should be withdrawn from the sale. He was convinced be should be supported by the trade in mak ing the request.—(Hear, hear.) He would therefore ask if the tea in the catalogue to which he alluded was tea at all ; and, secondly, if it had been passed by a Government offi cer?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. THOMPSON said that as he was called upon by the trade be should answer the question fairly. As a selling broker he did not consider himself called upon to give an opinion upon the tea, but he would state that it had been passed as bohea by Mr. Wybrow, the inspector appointed by Government—( Hear, bear)—and he believed with the approbation of the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs. —(Cries of " Shame.") As a broker he bad an opinion as to the teas, but as a seller he had only his duty to do in offering them. He must, however, state that he had re ported to his principal that by the sale of such goods as those alluded to, the trade was most likely to be seriously injured. (Loud cries of " Hear.") He would frankly state that, though the article was called tea, he had not been able to discover a particle of tea in the composition. Mr. TRAVERS observed that he gave no opinion in res pect to the other teas to be offered for sale in this the first under the new system, and he put it to the trade whether, at the commencement of free trade, such stuff ought to be sold?—(Hear.) He considered the fact that such an ar ticle, miscalled tea, being offered for sale, was an additional reason why there should be a fixed rate of duty on teas, as that alone would prevent the introduction of such spurious articles. Mr. It. Ginus, tea-broker, was desirous to say a few words on this important question. He fully coincided in all that had fallen from Mr. Travers, and he gave Mr. Thompson credit for the opinion be had given of the article. He (Mr. Gibbs) had devoted the whole of his life in ac quiring a practical knowledge of tea, and he would say that it was not tea, and that it was unfit. for sale, except as poi son.—(Hear.) Mr. CLEMITSON submitted if, after what bad passed, the tea should be put up for sale. Mr. DELAFOSSE observed that, connected as he was with one of the oldest houses in the trade, he could not help con curring publicly in all that had been urged with respect to the article called tea, and advised that it should be with drawn.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. THOMPSON stated that, seeing the unanimous -feel ing of the trade, he would not trouble them by putting up this stuff, misnamed tea. He thought his friends would be satisfied with the course that had been adopted. Mr. GIBBS said that was not the question. The most material point, as far as the country was interested, was, that such should have been permitted to pass by the Government officer as tea.—(Hear.) It concerned the public, and he would ask in what situation would the out ports be placed if such tin article was to pass as tea from the Custom House.—(Cheers.) The sale was then continued, the objectionable article being withdrawn, the teas put up sold from Is. 10d. to 2s. Id. per lb. for cougous, and padre from 2s. 3d. to 2s. sd. per lb. Other sales followed by Messrs. Styan and Co. and Messrs. Hubbert and Layton, but they showed no parti cular feature of interest. The result of the sale is that allowing for the qualities of the teas sold, prices were rea. lised on the average from 6d. to 9d. per lb. in advance o those obtained at the quarterly sale of the East India Corn. pany. THE EAST INDIA TRADE. —Yesterday the East India Company's sale of indigo commenced at the India ROMFC. 'rho Company's commercial operations are fast drawing to THE BIRMINGHAM FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 6.—This festival, so long the sub ject of expectation in the musical world, commences to morrow, and the town is consequently in a state of great bustle and excitement. Strangers are pouring in from all quarters, and the streets have presented all day a gay and animated appearance—enlivened by travelliry , carriages dashing to the doors of the different hotels and inns—por ters hurrying along with fiddles and basses, and the other " instruments of sound "—and crowds of people enjoying the animation of the scene. Within the splendid new Music Hall, there has been many a " dreadful note of preparation ; " for the performers have been industriously employed at rehearsals, in the course of which they have perpetrated many a discord never contemplated by the composer. People who witness the smoothness and ap parent facility with which a large orchestra goes through a series of difficult pieces, have no idea of the pains requi site to attain that smoothness. In this country, indeed, sufficient pains are rarely taken ; and hence our great or chestral and choral performances are often distressingly crude and imperfect. This is peculiarly the case at musi cal festivals, and is almost a necessary consequence of the manner in which they are got up. A great body of singers and players are brought together from London, and all parts of the country ; and as considerations of time and expense render it impossible for them- to assemble till the very eve of th 6 festival, the whole _preparation consists of one confused and hurried rehearsal of a few of the principal pieces, all the others being left to their fate. In such cir cumstances, it is really surprising—and it says much for the cultivation and skill of the great mass of our English musi cians—that the performances are so good as they arc. Some places, however, are better off in this respect than others. Birmingham, in particular, has an excellent choral society ; and its members, beinr , resident, have been for a considerable time in a course of practice preparatory to this meeting. It was only such training as this, under very judi cious instruction, that could have enabled them to go through the profound and difficult choruses in the new oratorio of David, which is the great novelty on this occa sion, with the precision and firmness which they exhibited to -day. - - . The new Town Hall, the scene of these performances, is just finished, and is a building without a parallel in Eng l.:rid. It is a piece of very pure Grecian architecture, of an oblong form, and very advantageously situated in an elevated part of the town. I presume a number of mean buildings which now surround it will of course be cleared away. The interior presents by far the largest and noblest concert-hall I have ever seen. It is, I believe, 145 feet long, 65 feet high, and 65 feet wide. At one end is placed the organ, which rivals that of York in magnificence and power, and at the opposite end there is a very capacious gallery. The ornaments of this hall are chaste and ele gant. The spaces between the windows are filled up by Corinthian pilasters corresponding with the pillars which surround the exterior of the building ; and the roof is tastefully divided into compartments. This manner of breaking the surface of the walls and roof of the Hall is understood to improve it for musical sound, by taking away that resonance which produces confusion, without impairing the tones of the voices and instruments. In deed, the whole building, both in its exterior and interior, does the highest credit to the talents of Mr. Hansom, a 3-oung architect, whose abilities are spoken of in high terms. _ The principal performers are those whose presence is in dispensable at every music meeting ; Madame Caradori, Madame Stockausen, Mrs. Knyvett, Miss Novelle., Messrs. Braham, Vaughan, Phillips, Taylor,' Horncastle, Bellamy, Machin, &c. The orchestra consists of 400 performers, among whom are 50 violins, 24 violas, 16 violoncellos, and 10 double-basses ; with wind-instruments, &c., in propor tion. The performances are to be led alternately by Messrs. Cramer, Mori, Wcichsell, and Loder ; and Mr. Knyvett is conductor. There are upwards of two hundred chorus singers ; which number includes the members of the Bir mingham Choral Society. The effect of the instrumental band is prodigiously increased by the use of an instrument hitherto unknown in England, the contra-bass Ophic/eide, or keyed serpent. It is a brass instrument of splendid ap pearance—apparently twelve or fourteen feet in length, and of corresponding diameter. In its compass it descends considerably lower than any bass instrument hitherto known ; and its tones have great variety of character, from the most mellow smoothness to the most terrific power. This in strument supplies what has always been felt to be a great desideratum in orchestras—a sufficiently deep and powerful bass ; and so great are the effects of which it is capable, that its introduction may be considered as an era in or chestral composition. _ At the rehearsal of to-day the whole of Neukomm's David was gone through ; and as the resideht chorus singers had already had many rehearsals, the performance was wonderfully accurate, and gave great pleasure to the few musical persons who listened to it. Of the merits of this work, I shall speak when I come to give you an ac count of its performance ; meanwhile I shal only say, that what I have heard to-day has much increased my admira tion of it. _ _ As far as I am able to judge, the gentlemen of the com mittee have made every arrangement in a most judicious manner. The music is well selected, and every attention has been paid to the accommodation of the public. One small misunderstanding only we have heard of. Mr. Phil lips, in his capacity of principal bass, was entitled to sing the prominent song, " The trumpet shall sound," in The Messiah, which, however, by some mistake, was allotted to Mr. Machin, and so inserted in the books. The difficulty, however, was got over by the good humour of Mr. Phillips, who did what is not done every day in such cases—he re signed the song to his rival. - Some of the clergy of the town have been signalizing their zeal for religion, by writing and preaching, too, I believe, against a performance of sacred music for the purposes of benevolence! • Such bigotry is Unworthy of a word of re mark ; and it is entirely harmless ; for the performances will be attended to overflowing. H. KING GEORGE'S SOUND. The last accounts from New South Wales furnish some interesting intelligence respecting the new settlement at King George's Sound. The town of colony, which is called Albany, is situated on the N.E. side of Princess Royal Harbour, a fine basin, of about twelve miles in circumfe rence, and three or four miles across. It is, however, very shoal, excepting in a small plafce near the site of the town, where a few ships not drawing more than 16 or 18 feet of water may ride in perfect safety. The entrance into this harbour is very narrow, and precludes the effect of all high and stormy winds. The allotments of land are given gratis in the town, as well as the beach allotments, and the sub urban allotments of six acres for country houses. All other lands may be purchased for ss. per acre. Some of the laud is very rich, and, with little labour, would prove of the finest cult.i:•ation. Many sloping vallies of rich pasture bad been discovered enjoying a fine, mild, and agreeably climate. The good laud on the hills was very thickly overgrown with trees. Sheep and cattle thrive exceedingle well on the wild herbage of the country. The Devon and Durham heifers, and the pure Merino sheep, landed in the settlement in September last, were in the finest possible condition. All vegetables, whether imported from Eng land or elsewhere, throve with the greatest luxuriance. Olives, grapes, gooseberries, currants, roses, orange trees, China tea plants, mangoes, guavas, &c., were growing well. The entire population of the settlement, exclusive of the military, was eighty persons. The most friendly intercourse had been established with the aborigines, wl:o appear to be of a milder character than in the other parts of New Holland. They were much attached to the settlers, and six or eight were constantly employed in working in the Governor's garden. The native pigeon and the quail were numerous. • The colony of the Society of Friends had taken 80,000 acres on the bank of the French River, at the head of Oyster Harbour. The present autum is like a second spring. Cow slips and primroses were gathered last week on Claverton down ; the eahhage-rose has recommenced blowing, and in varioul places the laburnums are flowering for the second time, —Salisbury Herald.
