In mentioning to a friend what I suf fered, he strongly advised me to try one of your patent, which I did, and found to my great comfort that it kept up the Rupture effectually, without producing any of those painful sensations which I had endured while wearing the ball a nd socket truss, and I can now stand or walk for hour together without the least pain or inconveni ence, in fact as well as though I never had been ruptured.

Sir,—While serving the office of first lieutenant of a line-of-battle ship off Toulon, in 1809. I bad the mis fortune, through extreme fatigue, to tiring on a rupture. Since that period I have tried every description of truss which came to my knowledge, but I never succeeded in supporting the hernia effectually until 1831, when I purchased two c f your patent trusses; and it is hut justice to own that no descent has occured since I have worn them, and I freely give you liberty to publish this testi monial in favour of your excellent invention. I am, Sir, yours obediently, J. P. BAKER, Commander, R.N. 28, Duke-st., Manchester-square. Oct. 17, 1832. Sir,—Seven years ago I applied to you to stop a rup ture, which 1 have laboured under upwrirds of fifty years, which was as large as a man's head, which you accomplished with apparent ease, when no person that I had previously consulted, was able to stop it a single day. I am now eighty-six, and am entirely free from any external appear. once of the complaint. My obje ct in writing this testi monial is, not merely to express my gratitude for the service you have rendered me, but to guard my fellow sufferers against the use of imperfect trusses. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Oct. 21, 1832. G. CARPENTER, 24, Regent-st. Sir,—Having worn trusses 20 years, and suffered the most excruciating pain of strangulated hernia, which oc curred while wearing my truss, and without a doubt should have lost my life but for the great skill and atten tion paid me by Mr. Mayo in the operation. And, not withstanding I had the best medical aid, and, as I sup posed, the best trusses that could he procured, my rupture continually increased, and escaped from every truss that I had employed until I had yours; and I am happy to state, that I now feel perfectly comfortable ; and more secure, under every position of the body, than at any period even before or since I underwent the operation ; and I feel well assured that such accident would never have taken place, had I then worn a truss on the principle of your patent. I am, Sir, with gratitude, 70, Great Titchfield-st., Mary_ Yours, &c. lebone, June 14, 1833. JOHN QUICK. A surgeon of the Royal Navy about sixty years of age, who had been wearing trusses of several different kinds, employed one of Coles's manufacture, and ere he had half worn it out, threw it aside and left his trusses in London, while he made a tour on the Continent. Being at sea and exposed to severe .veather, a sea-sickness brought on the complaint, and he was compelled a second time to wear his truss, and after wearing it about 12 months, has again been perfectly cured, and does not wear a truss. Sir AstleyCOoper knows a case which had been gei ting worse for thirty years, and which had escaped a hundred times in a day, and does not escape now from Coles's truss.

THE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN AND THE FUNDHOLDERS•—" I firmly believe that if the national debt or be ever in danger, the fatal attack will come less from the Radicals than the country gentlemen, who are jealous of the fundholder, or crippled with mortgages. The day after the repeal of half the malt tax (leaving a large deficit in the revenue) was carried, I asked one of its principal supporters (a popular and independent country gentleman) how he proposed to repair the deficit? 'By a tax of two per ce nt.' quoth he, ' upon Master Fundholder !" And if that does not suffice?' asked I. ' Why then we must tax him four per cent.' was the honest rejoinder."—But user's England, &c. - • The Observateur de l' Aisne gives tile follow ing account of an audacious system of robbery man named Vitteau, pretending to be a hawker, and tra velling the country with a box about three feet deep and two feet wide, constantly carried it empty on entering a public-house for the night, but before his departure in the morning he filled it with feathers or wool abstracted from his bed, sometimes even taking away as much as halt its contents. Having thus amassed a considerable quan tity of these materials, which he deposited in a warehouse hired for the purpose, be employed men to make them up into beds for sale, and thus carried on a lucrative trade for ,otne time. At last, however, baying quarrelled with a woman whom he had admitted into his confidence, she in revenge went to the police and revealed all the secrets of the box. The magistrate immediately ordered him to be taken into custody, and scut to the prison of Soissons." LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1833. THE SWEDISH ARMY AND NAVY, JANUARY 1, 1832. The first organisation of a regular army is due to Charles XI. in 1680, in whose time it solely con sisted of men billetted upon the landed proprietary. The latter, if possessed of an income of not less tha►► 501. or 601. a-year, are bound to provide one soldier with a small dwelling, a piece of ground, and certain necessaries. The quota has been increased by adding men who have been enrolled, as well as such as are drawn by ballot under the conscription law. The army is at present composed of 32,694 men, inclusive of 2,580 artillery, 4,705 cavalry, and 25,409 infantry. Of this force 26,914 are quartered with the landowners, and 5,780 are recruits. In dependently of these troops, the five classes of con scripts furnish 95,518 men fit for service. The army is divided into three regiments of artillery, eight of cavalry, and twenty-five of infantry. Each regiment, in addition to the two or three towns as s;gried to it for its quarters, is under directions to a-semble occasionally en corps at some given spot. The whole army, with the exception of the artillery arid foot-guard, being disperse•t at its several quar ters, a regular rendezvous of the whole is ordered at a certain period, either at Stockholm, Christian stadt, or Wenersborg. The officers of the Navy con sist of 1 Admiral, 3 Vice-Admirals, 4 Rear-Ad mirals, 34 Captains-Commandant, 16 Captains, and 176 Lieutenants, divided into two classes, besides 38 officers of marines. The naval force comprises a corps of artillery of 955 men, and a corps of marines of 450; 360 naval cadets, 5,694 sailors quartered on the inhabitants in the counrry, and 892 on townsmen; 1,505 termed extraordinary men, and 11,580 sailors of all ages. Including every individual employed in the Navy, its whole strength is 23,005. The number and class of ships are as follow:-10 of the line, 4 large frigates, 5 light frigates, 10 sloops or brigs, 5 cutters, 24 galleys, 4 semi-galleys, 25 decked gun-boats, 200 gun-boats without decks, and 155 other vessels. ENGLISH AND SCOTCH LANDLORDS. Mr. Oliver is one of the few Scotchmen who understands the working of the poor laws of Eng land. They, as he says, unqueitionably raise the standard of the labourer. The Enelishman, know ing he must be supported when unfit to work, con sumes all his wages; the Scotchman must insure himself, and thus his standard must be lower. The English will always make a stout resistance to any attempt to deteriorate their condition. And it is an understood matter, that so long as there is tan gible property in the country, the labourers will, through intimidwion, or by stealing, or other means, force such a subsistence as they have been accus tomed to. If Mr. Oliver's estimate be correct—and he is known to be one of the most skilful agriculturists in the island—the consequences of increased faci• lities of communication with Scotland and Ireland on the condition of the English landlords is obvious. W e shall take the case of the lands in the Weald of Kent, mentioned by Mr. Cramp, as yielding three quarters and two quarters of wheat an acre, and being unable to pay any rent—say the average two quartets and a half, or 20 bushels. Were lands of the same quality in Scot land and the value of pro duce 20 bushels —say at 7s. a bushel—there would remain to the Seotehman 20 per cent. less in the expenditure; that is— One-fifth, equal to four bushels One-tenth for tithe—two bushels 0 14 £2 2 Without including poor-rates, the Scotchtnan wolld have a land of the same quality two guineas more per acre than the Englishman. The stipend paid in lieu of tithes in Scotland is never more than 9d. in the pound, and the poor-rates a penny in the pound. We may thus see, that in consequence of the in creased communication with Scotland and Ireland, land may be thrown out of cultivation by low prices in England, while very poor land can be cultivated in the other two countries. The English landowners are either the most gene rous men on the face of the earth, or the greatest gulls. By allowing a free intercourse with countries without burdens, and where the landlords can reduce wages to the minimum of subsistence, while they are burdened with poor rates, and cannot lower wages, they are giving a large bounty to the land lords of the two countries in question. They are allowing themselves to be ousted from their estates, in order to swell the rent-rolls of Scotch and Irish landlords. Wages being permanently higher in England than in Scotland and Ireland, is the cause why there must be a constant stream of emigration to England, by which English labourers are thrown aside and supported in idleness in their parishes, in order to allow Scotch and Irish landlords to draw their rents without any deduction. When men are so stupid that they cannot protect themselves, they naturally become the prey of others. We shall only observe with reference to the ob servation of the Standard, that a full proportion of the lands thrown out of cultivation in the clay counties is tithe-free land, that supposing the pro duce of an acre of land subject to tithe which can not pay rent, to be twenty bi shels, such land, if tithe free, might pay fourteen shillings an acre. We are aware that in land of this description the farmers in general work the Parsons,through the poor rates, and compel them to take a small composition. How ever, if the English landowners are satisfied with this state of things, we see no reason why the Scoi ch and Irish landowners (who will soon pay no tithes) should not be benefited by this example.— Morinng Chronicle. THE ASSESSED TAXES. Last night the members of the Marylebone As sociation met in the Mechanics' Institution, Circus street, New Road, for the purpose of prosecuting their opposition to the assessed taxes. There were nearly 300 apparently respectable persons pre sent. It is scarcely necessary to say this is the parent association, and now contains nearly 1,000 members pledged to oppose these taxes by all legal means. The Chair was taken by Mr. Wilson. The SECRETARY, after rending the minutes, in formed the meeting that forty-four new members had been enrolled within the week. The receipts of the week were 5/. 13s , and the addition of mem• bers in twenty-one days was 108. A public meeting of the Marylebone householders, it was announced, had been resolved by the Com mittee should be held next week, and that Sir Sa muel Whalley would be applied to to preside. Mr. SAVAGE moved that deputations from the va rious associations be requested to attend their pub lic meeting. The public spirit with which reflecting men in all districts were coming forward, proved the obnoxiousness of the taxes. The public press had greatly aided them by noticing their proceed ings, and although some of the Editors doubted the policy of the course they were cdopting, yet all concurred in deprecating the continuance of these taxes. The only reason why he joined the associ ation was, bec►use he believed that it was the only course open for compelling Ministers to redeem their pledges by abandoning these taxes. He be lieved they would never repeal them if left to them selves. They would never be content till these taxes were repealed.—(Cries of " Never.") The Ministers had deceived them, and could they now rely on their pledge ?—(No.) It had been said thee taxes were pledged to the fundholder, but he denied such was the case. At least if they were so pledged, they did not join in the pledge ; and let, therefore, the pledge be redeemed by those that made it. This was not a time to be idle or indif ferent, and it might be necessary to send deputa tions to the people of Birmingham, Manchester, and the other great towns, to form similar associ ations. There would be nothing illegal in this. It might certainly become dangerous, for it formed a kind of under current working against the powers that be. But then no Government ought to exist which was opposed to the public interest, and it became their duty to destroy such opposition by every legal means. lie trusted they would muster in strength at the public meeting. Mr. BIRCH seconded the motion. On Tuesday he waited on Sir Samuel Whalley to request him to preside, and was received most courteously ; but as the reasons which he gave for not consenting to preside would be best gathered from a letter he had since written, he would read that to them. It was as follows : " Gentlemen,—l deeply regret that the ill advised per tinacity of the Government, in ret iining the house and window taxes, has rendered any such protective measures on the part of the people the only sure mode of obtaining their repeal. If Ido not feel myself at liberty to accept the honour you propose to me, in presiding over the meet ing of the Marylebone Association on the 16th, it is solely 1/ecause, while the law continues, however unjust it may he, it would lessen my power of procuring its abrogation as your representative, if it could he objected against me that 1 joined in resistance to it, having an opportunity, as a le gislator, of making efforts to procure its repeal in the House of Commons At the same time lam fully per suaded that the course you propose is the only effectual one, and both legal and justifiable, under the existing cir cumstances, and which I shall be prepared to defend, if necessary, in my place.—Your faithful se, vaut, (Signed) .4 S. B. WHALLEY." " Addressed to the Deputation of the Alarylebone Association." Mr. Birch went on to say, that application was afterwards made to Mr. \rigors, who declined, on the ground that he was compelled immediately to proceed to Ireland on business. They had, there fore, now no Chairman fixed; but he had :io doubt they should be able to secure an efficient one before the day of the meeting. The CHAIRMAN mentioned that, in the course of their interview, Sir S. Whalley informed him that it had been hinted to him that Government intended to introduce a law for suppres•iug all such associa tions; and he told Sir S. Whalley, in reply, that they would in that case have a million of people to suppress. Mr. BIRCH had forgotten to allude to this part of the interview; but he might add to what their Chairman had communica,eil, that Sir S. Whalley observed on the prob,lbillty of his information being correct, from what the Ministry had done in respect of Ireland during the last session. He told Sir S. Whalley, in reply, that he should not be surprised at the attempt being made, but he should indeed be surpri-ed if it succeeded. Mr. PAYNE would take that opportunity, as he saw there were reporters present, of correcting a misrepresentation that prevailed, that their object vas to resist the payment of the assessed taxes. On the contrary, it was only to protect those who, although unable to pay, were vexatiously harassed, and their goods distrained upon; and to aid in pro curing the repeal of the taxes by legal means. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting; and the motion being carried, the meeting dispersed. It continued densely crowded to the last.

BURNEYS OBSERVATORY OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, GOSPORT. " On the Ist instant an unusual depression of temperature occurred, with a N. and N.W. wind, it being the coldest day arid night in the month, but when the wind veered round to the W. and S.W. the thermometer again rose. The mean temperature of the external air in September for a series of years is about four degrees less than that of August. Spring water, however, does not come to its maxi mum temperature till about the 20th, and its de crease the remainder of the month is inappreciable. The earth, too, in this latitude radiates heat consi derably during the month, yet we find that with more than the average quantity of rain (which tends to keep down the heat), the temperature of the air, as before-mentioned, decreases, the cause of which can only be inferred from the sun's position, that is, his southward declination from us. The equinoctial gales unquestionably arise from the sun's influence as he becomes more vertical to the equator, where the heat increases and rarifies the atmosphere to such a heat as to generate strong currents of wind in almost every direction towards the poles of the earth. In the afternoon of the 4th a faint rainbow appeared without rain, its northt.4n side was in an apparently-cloudless sky, the other part was brighter from its being in a turbid zjoud, from which, though it had no cirrose crown, some light rain must have fallen at a distance to have produced the prismatic colours by reflection. In the mornings of the Ist and sth light hoar frost appeared in the grass fields for the first time after the summer season, since Which time the nights have been comparatively warm. In the afternoon of the 11th a shower passed over, with lightning and thunder, and thun der also occurred at noon of the 18th. Between eight arid nine, a.m., on the 23d, a parhelion was observed here on the ,outh side of the sun, the sky was overcast with dense cirrostratus by night, and rain followed with a long-continued gale from the S. and S.W. " THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.—In the evenings of the 15th and 16th, faint Aurora Bort-ales were ob served here, but th,y were not int , resting, the arches bein g low, undefined, and without coruscations i te i gni t h h iti e :op n .u.s O in r a. l ,u h retoi7lahaoaftrpei appeared ABut.f3rzo. thefrom Ibte f t o c‘ l vo l e o n iv ni i r s ig ieevde night trio imni d a l. r crease in brilliancy and extent till eleven, P M., and was partly screened by a black cloud of the cirro stratus kind, parallel with the amoral arch, but about three degrees below it. A few of the principal features of this meteoric phenomenon, by the way o f general information, may be considered interest ing to those who pay any attention to natural phe nomena. The whole of the time the centre of the auroral arch coincided with the point of the magnetic north, which i s deserving of notice, because it leads us to think, with some degree of reason, that it originates from a superabundance of effluvia rising from or near the termination of the magnetic pole, far above the each', atmosphere, and spreading equi distant on each side, in an arch of light of a gaseous quality. The coruscations began to rise from the aurora at half past eight, and at intervals emanated in long and short c olumns of li g h t - re d an d ye ll ow i s h t i nts, vary ing in width from a quarter to one degree and three q uarters, and from five to fifty-two degrees in alti tude, some of t h e streamers h av i ng risen higher than Polaris. From a quarter past nine till a quarter to ten o'clock a very remarkable column, on e degree and thre e - quarters wi d e an d fif ty d egr ees l on g, was in the S. W. quarter, bearing W. S.W., and at that time about fifty degrees south of the we,tern termination of the auroral arch; it was Aqui* and h a d n emrly midway b an e t i % n v c e l e in n tAlpha four or fiavned degrees ( PRICE 7D.) 1 from a perpendicular line. From the peculiar roes' lion and length of this column, we fully expected to see it met by another from the opposite point of the horizon, so as to form a semicircular arch in the heavens, but the matter of the aurora was not suffi cient for that purpose. About eleven o'clock, the lower auroral arch was best defined, and ex tended from N.N.E. to W.N.W., or ninety degrees, and varied from ten to twelve degrees, in height ar its vertex. Six bright meteors appeared over the 1 aurora in the course of the evening, and the air was richer dry. " The atmospheric and meteoric phenomena that have come within our observation this month are, one parhelion, three solar and two lunar halos, nine meteors, three rainbows ; three aurora boreaies, lightning on one and thunder on two different days,and six gales of wind—one from the N., one from N.E., one from S., and two from S.W.

At the termination, the evidence will be sent to Lord Melbourne. Mr. W. Mingay, agent for the vessels of the Sunderland and Newcastle Companies, deposed to the Captain of the Wemyss desiring him to take charge of the vessel, and deliver the cargo; witness found the deck crowded by 50 or 60 people; be did all he could to prevent plunder, but he could keep no regular order. John Lubbock, of Welk, ship-builder, was em ployed to repair the Earl of Wemyss packet; her ater-keel, about 27 feet from aft, was completely out, and about 12 or 13 feet further abaft on the larboard side, in part out ; on the starboard side the larboard streak out about 27 feet from aft, and many other planks completely started from their timbers; the oakum out of her seams in many places as high as her floor-head, and in many places as high as her first futteck head ; the main•piece of her rudder was broke below the trunk, and the seem was out of her boat, and that was the whole of the damage that required repair. He repaired her in a tempo rary way, sufficient for her to go to Leith and Ber wick. Her skylights were off, and there was not one whole square of glass remaining in them ; he fist saw the vessel about four o'clock in the after. noon of Sunday, she was then in a sinking state; she was settled in the sand about nine, r.st. She had then been scuttled, the water could not be got, out of the cabin by any other means. He con,i- dered the damage done to her was occasioned by beating over the flats ; about her hull she was per fectly seaworthy, when she left London. From the - _ injury she sustained in her bottom, he thought that she would sink in half an hour, or less time. He was confident that a vessel could not be in that state, without a great body of water coming it at the bot tom. She was copper fastened, and as fine a built vessel of that description as he ever saw. William Green, chief boatman of the Preventive Coast-guard, stared stated that on Saturday night, Aug. 31, he saw the Earl of Wentyst on the scurves, about 300 or 400 yards from the shore. He re- naained on the shore in the hope of getting some intelligence from them. That was half -past ten o'clock. About half-past eleven o'clock a light was shown them, and it was kept up through the night. They observed a light on board the vessel about eleven o'clock. It did not last longer than half a minute. About twelve o'clock there were twelve or fifteen persons on the beach. They hallooed to the vessel to send their boat. When it was found that the boat did not come, himself and two or three others tried to walk to the vessel. It was then about one o'clock. It was blowing and raining in torrents. Finding it impossible to wade to the vessel, they returned to the beach ; they remained under shelter until some candles were brought, as what they had were burned; when the candles came they showed a light ; shortly after a light appeared in the smack ; this was about half past two o'clock. They then expected a boat from the smack. They then went to the water's edge, but returned again to the hill. The wind or rain never abated during the night. He saw John Large looking steadfastly at the vessel, and on rising on his legs he observed a boat had just left the vessel; that was about three o'clock. They then immedi ately ran to the water's edge. He pulled off his jacket, and went into the water to render every as sistance he could. The boat was then about one hundred yards from the shore. The tide flowed that night about ant hour or an hour and a half ear lier. The flood had made two hours before he saw the boat put off from the vessel. He observed than all on board the boat would perish. She could not have come on shore at that time. He v‘ as glad to see her return to the vessel. They saw no more of the boat until about four or five o'clock, just at the dawn of day. Cross-examined.—lt was not possible at any time for the passengers to come on shore without a boar. At daylight they frequently observed persons come on the deck and look out. If he had been master at that vessel, and had had five fathoms of ~aver, hi never should have slipped his cable, unless the ves sel had been leaky. lie certainly should not have run the vessel on shore, however great the storm. The best time for the boat to have come from the vessel was between the hours of twelve and two o'clock. ILO he been well acquainted with the snore, he should have sent the passengers in the boat, not otherwise. Why he expected the boa was, because when vessels are stranded on a lee. shore, they generally send a boat. They had no boat on the shore, and it would hare ic.Le.trn three or four hours to have pr, cured one. Wnliam Large, of Brancaster, mariner, said, that he sounded the depth az the spot where the vessel rode, and the depth at low water was nine feet ; the vessel was riding between what is called the roadstead and the beach; there was noi,here there five fathoms at low water; there might be flirt e in some places; Ira master of a vessel was ignorant of a coast, he could, nevertheless, tell whether the tide was ebbing or flowing by throwing his lead. Nathaniel l'yne, Esq., of Grosvettur-place, Lo t ,. don—Accompanied his brother, Mr. Witham Tyne, from Hampshire to Braticuster, where they to, rived on Friday, the Gth of September, at two o'clock in the morning; about six o'clock they were admitted into the parlour of the *Ship Inn, and shortlyaf er wards the mate of the Earloflfrenzys s came down stairs and pissed through the room they were sitting in; Mr. W. Pyre questioned him as ro tne circumstances of the loss of life on board that vessel, and particularly asked him was it not possible that as all the male passengers, together with the Captain and crew, were saved, to h a v e rendered ass i stance to theladies in the cabin? the mate replied that it was impossible, ao the stqt broke over the smack, and carried away the sky-lights, and tilled her in an instant; on in- ,---, 4 /,,( u,,,„, •.4 ther tne / -14 neatened wn; the if r• died that they were 7-rtVattened (-- wn ; that the storm came on so a enly and heavily, that they had no opportunity to batten down or secure the skylights, and he (witness) was positive that the mate said that the sky lights were not even covered; the mate also said that even if the ladies had been got out of the cabin, from the severity of the weather they could not have survived ; shortly after the mate left the room, the steward of the smack came down stairs; he was asked the same questions, and he (the steward) distinctly stated that the ladies were drowned in consequence of the sea breaking over her, carrying away the skylights, and filling the cabin in an instant ; he also said that there was no Opportunity to bitten down or cover the skylights, and they were not even covered. Some further evidence was given respecting the missing of a box belonging to Mrs. Pyne, and the disappearance of a Scotch woman, who was charged by the Steward with having pillaged the luggage. The captain, it appeared, first gave the woman in charge for robbing the packet, then said that she was a great trouble to him, and finally, Mr. MiNaughten, the Agent, sent her off. THE BISHOP OF HEREFORDS Few acts of the Ministry have been attacked with greater acrimony than the ecclesiastical patronage lately bestowed on Lord Grey's brother, the Bishop of Hereford, yet the plain facts of the ease, which would appear not to be ge nerally known, or to have been studiously kept out of sight, do, in reality, constitute a sufficient answer to those attacks. The following brief epitome of them miy ha r lied on. When the Ministry went out, in May, 1832, the bishopric of Hereford being then vacant, the King desired, as a mark of his personal regard, that the pre sent Bishop should have it. Aware that with the deanery, which the Bishop then held, the living of Bishopsgate cave him a positive income much better than that of the see of Hereford, the King desired risri that he should continue to hold the living in commendnm, as the Bishop of London had done when B sill) of Oiesier. This 1.444 d Grey declined, thinking the union of a parish with a cure of souls with a bishopric improper; but . xpiess e d a hope that he might at some futur e opportunity have a stall at his disposal, to place the Bishop of Hereford on a footing with other Bishops, which the K.ng promised. After the restoration of the Ministry, a stall b-came vacant at St. Paul's, to which, un er all the circumstances of the time and his own peculiar claims, bid Grey thought it right to appoint Mr. 'Fite. On the late vacancy at Wes , minster, however, Lord Grey thought himself bound not to pass over the Bishop of Hereford a second time, with this ap.a-n.romit odded to his see, his income will not exceed 3,5001. per annum. Evu r 3 one of the rine, tor oishoprics has at; adjunct of this kind ; as, for ex imple : Llandaff Deanery at St. Paul's. St. David's Exeter Gloucester Lichfield Ditto ditto.

The following criticism on the debut of the above singers is given by the New York Standard. Mr. Wood's doing. would appear to be almost more " miraculous" in the esti. illation of " all the ladies," than those of his accomplished cora sposa:— " Tre Park Theatre was crowded last night to the roof. The reception of the strangers was enthusiastic, as was •xpected, from our warm hearted au lience, and their success most decided. Mr. Wood is a very handsome in in, with the very sweetest baritone voice ever beard on this stage ; his know:edge of music appears very sufficierr, in ,' hi s styl e is, of course, good from the school in which it is forming. All the ladies and moat of the gentlemen voted him by far the beet Prince Felix yet seen here. " Mrs. Wood is, though she hardly appeared to list night, the wonderful creature we have been told. She was greatly agitated, and, towards the close, much ex hausted; but in the finale she vindicated fame and our expectation. Her first song, " Once a King," was loudly cheered ; a passage in her first duet with the Prince drew a thousand murmured Bravoes;' but her full, glorious triumph came not till the close. Her power had been restrained, from agitation or desien, until then; and Mr. Wood had all the feelings and most of the admiration with him; but it was now time for the putting forth of her splendid powers, and magnificently were they exhibited. The audience, vast and crowded as it was, sat wrapped in breathless expectation as she came forward, and when the first notes of " Now in grief no longer bending," burst forth, the hushed stillness was like that of midnight, while the full, rich, sweet, swelling tones of that matchless voice, pealing through the air, thrilled through and en tranced every heart. She gives her whole being to her song; her entire soul is lent to every note, as was the Black Knight's to the blow ; and feeling, thought, passion, and corporeal power, are all concentrated in the effort 'hat pours forth the glorious melody. She is a rare and perfect creature. The audience called her forth again, despite her exhaustion, and she cheerfully repeated the miracle. Most of the pit stood during the repetition." at Atlhaercchliaounnedsosn ‘HVoetlelle,slweyheraentdheyhehravesibseteenr m , r v i e i i s s t i T t i a n e i d g hn u s e i i e n h e e e d th f e a i m r h i arrival l e s from u a ab n l u ee m , be & r c o . f , l h a a t v e e re b :i e d u enc r e em o o f v t ed from lie NobleAvlab-h Viceroy and d Twickenham,hislady,forcothne. veyance to Ireland.

Sir H. Grey, the brother, and a part of the family of Earl Grey, arrived at this village, on their way south. As soon as the pre. -once of these visiters was known, a most respectable company assembled in the ball-room of the inn, for the purpose of thinking to the health of the Premier; and in a short time their numbers were so increased, that the spacious apartment was crowded to everflowing. Tee manner in which the health of Earl Grey was drunk, and the instantaneous assembling of so numerous a party by simultaneous burst of feeling, afforded a striking exhi ation of the high estimation in which the Illustrious character of the Premier is held, and the deep sense which is universally entertained of his eminent public services. In the course of the evening the meeting was enlivened by the presence of Sir Henry Grey, who entered the room accompanied by the Hon. Charles and Francis, sons of E rl Grey; and the enthusiasm awakened by the occa-ion at length reverting to the Hon. Captain Elliot, to whose treat person.) exertions the country is so touch indebted, for the ascendancy which reform principles have hitherto maintained, his health was drunk with acclamations lung and loud.
