The Festival was opened yesterday morning at the mag nificent Cathedral, where Divine Service was performed. The musical performances commenced with the overture to " Esther," Handel's first oratorio. The admirable se lection of the members of the band was at once displayed by their playing of this majestic composition. The ser mon was preached by the Rev. Christopher Benson, M.A., prebendary of Worcester cathedral, and master of the Temple. After the sermon Handel's fine Coronation Anthem, composed for George the Second, " My heart is inditing," was well executed. The choruses were, upon the whole steady, but lacked that precision which we have ob served elsewhere. Amongst the company present were — the Bishop of Rochester, who is also Dean of Worcester ; Earl and Countess Beauchamp, Earl and Countess Somers, Honourable and Rev. J. Somers Cocks and Lady Mary Cocks, Lady Sarah Murray, Hon. W. Coventry, J. Bailey, Esq., and G. R. Robinson, Esq., the Members for this city ; Mr. and Mrs. Packington, Hon. R. H. Clive, M. P.; E. Holland, Esq., M. P ; T. Winnington, Esq.; T. H. Cookes, Esq., M.P., J. H. Galton, Esq.; the Rev. Messrs. Pye, Baugh, Griffiths, Tayler, Farley, Turner, Wakeman, &c. The first concert took place last night in the College Hall, a noble Gothic building, extremely well adapted from its extent for the evening performances. Mr. H. Phillips gave the recitative and song " I rage," &c., in beautiful style. He obtained an encore in his own song of " Woman." Mr. Braliam was in fine voice, and sang Giordini's air so beautifully that it narrowly escaped a demand for its re petition. The Hall was but indifferently attended, owing to the boisterous state of the weather. THEATRES. ADELPHI THEATRE. The campaign commenced last night most appropriately, with a new piece, entitled Novelty; or, New Scenes and Old Faces. It is properly denominated an Extravaganza, and introduces to the audience nearly all the old favourites of the Adelphi—viz., Yates, and his accomplished wife, Miss Daly, John Reeve, the Momus-comas of both worlds, Buckstone, 0. Smith, and Wilkinson. The scene opens in the palace of Invention ; Puff (Buckstone) is marshal ling his forces when Memory (Wilkinson) enters, abuses Puf and denies his power over Fame ; Puf, as to that, bids him ask his friend " Warren," t'other side the way. Invention (Miss Shaw) then enters in a steam car, fol lowed by Novelty (Miss Daly) in Green's balloon. Me mory complains of the neglect which old dramatic pieces experience ; and Novelty argues in favour of new ones. Here Yates, in propria persona, interferes, and agrees to arrange the difference by letting each party essay his and her powers. With this view he ushers in " a proces sion of the Press"—John Bull as a farmer, Bell's Messen ger as Cupid, the United Service Journal half soldier, half sailor, the True Sun with a bottle of Harvey's sauce, and so forth. These are constituted the judges, and the trial of skill commences. Novelty exhibits a giraffe, out of which steps 0. Smith, who protests against acting internals but being begged by Novelty to coincide in her view of the case, he agrees to go inside (we trust these puns are per ceived.) Yates re-enters and announces the coming of John Reeve, who then appears, and tells a variety of Yankee sto ries, winding them up with a song. Puff next proclaims the Bedouin Arabs, and Yates cones on with his troop, and gives an admirable imitation of Mr. Braham. This is fol lowed by an Arab dance by Gibson, Brown, and King, and the arrival of lon (Reeve a-la-Macready), who complains of his part in the tragedy having been turned into a myst'ry at the Haymarket, and accounts for the lessee of Drury-lane not accepting the drama, because he is not of the lon-ic order. Memory now proves his power : he calls up Matthews, and here a well-merited tribute is paid to the public and private character of the great mimic ; this is succeeded by seven tableaux of Victorine, Mar»iaduke Magog, Flying Dutchman, the Elephant, Robert le Diable, &c. ; a few lines are spoken by each character. Victorine appeals for favour to the " Old Faces," and the curtain drops. It is, properly speaking, a clever piece de circon stance, and was well received. John Reeve was received with thunders of applause, as were, indeed, the whole of the dramatis personae, at least those of them named above. At its conclusion, " God Save the King," led by a Miss Ma yoss, a young lady possessing a pretty and well-cultivated voice, was tolerably well given by the whole strength of the company. The House was crammed. Previous to the new piece an address was well spoken by Mrs. Yates. AI Iv His Majesty's Plate of 100 gs. -r • ~ • tdwards's Royal George, 3 yrs, 7st. 111 b I Ai r.

Parish (yellow) .. Th ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Last night this theatre opened for the season. The first piece was The Strange Gentleman, and which, we believe, was the first experiment on the stage of " Boz." The Strange Gentleman has been adapted to the mercurial style of Mr. Harley, and we think the author can have no good ground for complaint against the representative of the hero of his first-born dramatic effusion, in addi tion to which the two Misses Smith made their first appearance. We were informed they were nieces to Miss Stephens ; they sung two duets in the pieces, and it is un duly qualifying a compliment to say they were successful. We shall not enter upon the plot of the piece—it is suf ficient to say, that the details were amusing, and often comic, without either drawing upon the liberty of the poet or the license of the dramatist. At the finish there was not one dissenting voice. It is almost unnecessary to state that it was immediately announced for repetition. The se cond piece was a new burletta, entitled The Sham Prince, a lively little anecdote told dramatically, and which intro duced, his first appearance on any stage, Mr. J. Parry. The young gentleman has the material about him that will do much when polished. His musical capabilities are con. siderable, and his comic humour is rich. Mr. Daly sus tained a character in this piece, an Irishman, and we very much a dmired the glee with which he gave the delineation of the Tipperary Boy. " God save the King" was sung at the end of the second piece, in admirable style. !e highest chimney stalk in Scotland was finished " 4 Week at the Springfield Works, in this neighbourhood, the ; a treme height bei ng 232 feet.

More than six weeks have now elapsed since we gave as • • ur opinion that reaping and leading among the hills and t h' o ats would be thrown into the latter end of October, and al ugh the statement was scouted by some, the events of t h v l,,Y day demonstrate that it approximated too ' nearly to the 'mita and sober truth.—Dun fries Courier. °n Tuesday the Albion coach, which runs be taeen Hudder s fi e ldld and Holmfirth, was returning from the L P l ace to Huddersfield, and when near the Bath Hotel, l e ce- "vcod, met with an accident i consequence :of coming d r i v en ntact with a cart proceeding F in n an opposite direction, the eins e i f .. c . f which was on the wrong side of the road. The con the s i! broke the coach pole, and threw one of the horses on th e rater bar, by which it was so much injured as to render ~e eath of the 'animal necessary. The coach was full, but .ezparrees . glad to say the passengers escaped unhurt.—Halffas B ur en ,e Albany D a ily Advertiser says, " Mr. Van to 11 8 principles, which he so often alludes to in his replies leePpliarbalic lltters, put us in mind of the boy's answer about the ,e 2; " Does the leopard ever change his spots ?"

CHURCH RATE.—At Wakefield, on Thursday, another Church-rate was opposed, and a poll demanded. It is the fixed determination of Mr. Craven, and several other of the leading Dissenters of Wakefield, to resist payment of the new Church-rates.— York Courant. Two LIVES LOST.—On Saturday morning week a dreadful accident occurred in Bray's Quarry, Manningham lane, Bradford. Two men, named William Gelder, aged 21, and William Armytage, aged 70, were at work, delving, and suddenly a quantity of earth and stones, weighing 8 tons, fell from a considerable height, and crushed them both. Assis tance was immediately procured, but when taken out they were quite dead; their bodies presented a shocking appearance.— York Courant. ENTOMOLOGICAL PHENOMENA.—Last Monday morning, from about eight to eleven o'clock, this city was vi sited by myriads of insects, being a very small kind of fly. They were very troublesome to persons passing along the streets, by settling in great numbers on their clothes, and an noying them in the face. The air was very close during the continuance of this phenomenon. A similar phenomenon was witnessed in our city at different periods of the following day. We observe that Bradford has been similarly visited for some days last week.—York Courant. LONDON AND HOLYHEAD ROAD.—The Thir teenth Report of the Commissioners of the London and Holy head-road has just been printed by order of the House of Commons. The Report mentions the condition of the roads on the different trusts; from which it appears, that in most instances improvement has taken place in the state of the roads ; and alterations are in progress in various places that will either shorten the road or render it less hilly. A thorough examination has been made of the state of the Menai and Conway suspension-bridges, the result of which is most satis factory. The cost of the erection of the Menai-bridge was 211,7911. ; and there has been spent on repairs, during the ten years it has been erected, 4,1851. The cost and repairs of the Conway-bridge have been 59,7641. Towards meeting this expenditure, there has been received in tolls on the bridges 16,5801., and on account of additional postage charged on letters passing over them, the further sum of 101,7081. ; leaving a deficiency of 157,4521. A good-looking young married woman, Phoebe Ar nold, alias Phoebe Grace, was last week apprehended in Lon don, charged with defrauding Mr. Alodus, a draper in Suffolk, of various articles, and with robbing a person named Heifer, resident at the same place. The latter, however, appeared to have been the cause of the prisoner's misdoings, of which the following account was given :—The prisoner has a husband and child at Whitchurch, in 1 -lampshire, but eloped from them in company with H e if er , w h o h appene d to have some tem porary employment in that part of the country. Heifer, who is a widower with three children, took her home with him to Laleworth, Suffolk, where they lived together as man and wife for a few months ; but the prisoner then became weary of her new connexion, and having one day induced Heifer to proceed to some distance from home, by causing a fictitious message to be delivered to him, she sent the three children to their grand mother, stripped the place of everything that she could conve niently carry off, and having possessed herself of what money she could lay her hands on, and obtained some goods in Heifer's name from Mr. Alodus, the draper, she took her departure by coach for London. Information was immediately forwarded from Suffolk to the metropolitan police, and it was ascertained that she had arrived in London in the name of Grace, but fur ther trace of her was then lost for a day or two. A minute description of her and what she had with her being obtained, however, it was discovered that she had left London in a dif ferent name for Hampshire. Gladwell, a police-constable, 23 G, pursued her thither, and found upon inquiry that she had returned to her husband and child, and was informed that the husband, having discovered that his fugitive wife was in Suffolk, wrote to her to induce her to return to him, and sent her a 5/. note for payment of her expenses. Gladwell brought her with him to London, and after an examination before Mr. Grove, the Worship-street magistrate, received directions to take her to Suffolk, where the offence was alleged to have been effected. She has since been committed for trial at the next assizes for that county. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1536. the districts occupied by the insurgents, or in foreign coun tries, in the accomplishment of public or secret missions, shall be put under sequestration. "2. The constitutional alcades of the towns where the absentees usually reside, shall immediately institute an in quiry to ascertain the fact of their flight or their incorpora tion into the ranks of the rebels, as also the services they may render them. "3. The sales made by the individuals mentioned in the Ist article, in order to save their property, are declared null and void ; and the income accruing therefrom s i nce they have entered the Carlist ranks is to be sequestered. "4. All transactions, sales, cessions, donations, or trans fers, effected since the Ist of October, 1833, whatever may have been the period at which the owners abandoned their homes to go and serve the rebels, shall be revised. " 5. The municipalities and public functionaries must endeavour to discover the fraudulent acts mentioned in the two preceding articles. Every Spanish citizen may denounce such acts to the constitutional alcades, who shall immediately institute a summary investigation, and .se questrate the property, if the fraud be sufficiently proved. Those denunciations are not to be rewarded ; they will be considered as the impulse of the most disinterested pa triotism. " 6. Spaniards who should have lent their names, and in any manner co-operated in those fraudulent sales and trans fers, shall be liable to a fine that shall not amount to less than the eighth part of the value of the property sold, nor exceed the fourth part of that value. " 7. The proceeds of the sequestration shall be applied to the payment of all mortgages, &c., laid on all such property, rents, and revenues of disloyal Spaniards. The validity of such mortgages, &c., will be proved in a sum mary manner before the tribunals of first instance. " 8. After paying the debts, the proceeds of the seques trated property shall be exclusively appropriated to indem nify the patriots who have experienced any loss or damage on account of their loyalty, in consequence of the decrees of the rebellious Prince. " 9. The Minister of Finance will draw up instructions for the manner in which this decree is to be executed, and point out the formalities necessary for regulating the in- demnities. " 10. The proceeds of the sequestrated property shall be administered separately from those of the public treasury. The balance remaining shall be applied to defray the ex penses of the war. " 11. Whoever enters the ranks of the rebels shall im mediately forfeit his offices, emoluments, ranks, honours, and decorations. " 12. The penalties specified in the present decree shall be inflicted, independently of those the delinquents may have incurred for other offences. " 13. The decree of the 22d of October, 1833, is hereby abrogated. " The QUEEN REGENT. " Madrid, Sept. 16."—Madrid Gazette. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—The September fetes have passed over perfectly well, and the numerous strangers who have visited Brussels during these fetes may bear witness to the sentiments of patriotism which still animate the great ma jority of the inhabitants of Brussels. The public and pri vate rejoicings have revealed the existence in the people of sentiments which many persons would gladly see extin guished. The distribution of the prizes, the horse races, the fire works, and especially the review of the Civic Guards, which was very brilliant, were the chief attractions for the mul titude.

PARIS, SEPT. 28.—The Dryade frigate sailed from Toulon on the 24th, for Cadiz. On its arrival in that port, the Al&resiras, which is there, will go to Lisbon. The Dryade will remain at Cadiz till the return of the Algesiras, and will then proceed to the Tagus.—Moniteur. Our Cabinet is said to have declared, that on every thing relating to Portugal, France will not in any manner differ from the policy of Great Britain, which is chiefly interested in this question. The meeting of a Congress at Paris on the affairs of Spain has been talked of as possible. A journal of this morning says—This Congress has neither been required by France and England, nor agreed to by the Continental Powers. There will be only conferences on the subject between the Ministers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. News from Switzerland is expected with some impa tience, in order to hear whether (as is asserted) M. de Montebello demanded his passport within twenty-four hours. After the majority of the Cantons had adopted the report on the affair of Conseil, it is said that the Ministers of Austria, Russia, and Prussia have orders to quit Berne, and to do in every point the same as M. de Montebello shall do, whose retirement will be followed by a cessation of all diplomatic relations. There will be no intercouroe with the Cantons, except such as is purely commercial. This could not be quite the Hermetical blockade. The mission of M. de Ranie, who has brought dispatches from Marshal Clausel, is not only to know the intentions of the new Cabinet respecting the policy it will follow with regard to ours, but also to lay before the King the Mar shall's resignation, with the motives for it, in case the Mi nistry of the 6th of September should check the system of operation which had been adopted by the proceeding Mi nistry.—.Tournal du Commerce, Sept. 28.

The Commander-General of the kingdoms of Valencia, and Murcia, Brigadier Francisco Narvaez, announces to the Minister of War, in a despatch dated the 7th instant, that, agreeably to the Royal order of the 25th of August last, the governing junta, lately established in Valencia, had dis solved itself on the 2d instant. The Constitutional junta of Government of the province of Malaga came to the following resolution on the Bth instant : " Having perceived the necessity of adopting energetic measures to crush the enemies of liberty, who, according to accounts, have advanced to the neighbourhood of Ocana, and considering that this end cannot be attained if the authority be not centered in efficient and strong hands, in vested with full powers to devise the necessary means for remedying the evil, we have decreed— " 1. That the present junta shall continue in the full ex ercise of its supreme functions and attributes, until the dangers which menace Andalusia shall have ceased. " 2. That an express shall be despatched to his Excel ency the Commander of the expeditionary force, inviting him to suspend his march towards this city, and return with the forces under his command to occupy the town of Jaen and the adjoining districts, in order to watch the move ments of the enemy, and enter into communication with the Generals and chiefs now engaged in pursuit of them, and proceed in his operations, agreeably to the extensive powers hereby vested in him, in the manner he may think the most efficacious. " 3. That the provinces of Granada, Jaen, Almeria, Cor dova, Seville, Huelva, and Cadiz, be invited to organize themselves on the plan of that of Malaga, and, without waiting to raise additional forces, to march all the disposable troops to the passes of the Sierra Morena, with instructions to occupy the defiles of Los Pedroches, and open a commu nication with the commander of our division, in order that the military operations may be carried on with effect and security ; the Government of Granada should moreover follow our example by directing its expeditionary column to repair to the points about to be occupied by our troops." Gomez had entered Utiel on the 7th with his entire band, and remained in possession of that place until the 15th, when, having formed a junction with Cabrera, Quilez, and El Serrador, he marched in the direction of Casas Hanes. The city of Requena was kept during those nine days in a regular state of blockade, the advanced posts of the enemy being within sight of the ramparts, and some of his guerillas having occasionally approached within musket shot of the place. On the 13th the Carlists, between 6,000 and 7,000 strong, invested the city with the deter mination of carrying it at any price. Colonel Jose Al bornoz, the military commander of Requena, had no other force to oppose them than the National Guard, and a single company composed of invalids and stragglers from different corps of the army, with which he nevertheless resolved on resisting to the last. At one o'clock in the afternoon the enemy divided his force into three columns, and commenced his attack. One of those columns marched up to the gate of Cantarranos, the other to that of Alcala, and the third to the gate of Valencia, protected by the fire of two swivel guns, the only artillery they possessed. The cannon from the town soon dismounted one of these pieces, and made con siderable havoc in the ranks of the infantry, who shortly afterwards began to retreat. Gomez, finding it impossible to force an entrance into the place, sent a flag of truce, which was fired on by the advanced posts, and compelled to retire. He then contrived, by means of a peasant, to forward a letter to Colonel Albornoz, in which he told him that if the town opened its gates, and recognized Don Carlos, the persons and property of the inhabitants should be respected ; but that if resistance were offered, and the besiegers obliged to storm it, be would put the garrison and inhabitants to the sword. The Colonel having replied that Requena knew no other Sovereign than Isabel 11., no other law than the Constitution it had sworn to support, Gomez renewed the attack, but being again repulsed, retired from the field, and fell back on Utiel. The garrison had not a single man either killed or wounded. The women rendered groat services on this occasion. They assisted in removing the artillery from one position, to another ; they were con tinually met on the ramparts bringing water, wine, and brandy to the troops, and exhorting their husbands and children to defend themselves to the last. The Queen-Regent, by a decree of the 17th, has ap pointed General Baldomero Espartero, Commander-in- Chief of the Army of the North, Viceroy of Navarre, and Captain-General of the Basque Provinces. Madrid Gazette. The Revista, in reply to the Journal des Debats and other French journals, which had asserted that Queen Christina was a prisoner in her Palace, observes, that so so far from being a prisoner, her Majesty appears every day in the public walks, accompanied by a single maid of honour and converses familiarly with a number of persons, who assure her of their most absolute devotion. The Revista concludes by asking the Journal des Debats if the King of the French could with safety do the same, and if the Au tocrat of Russia enjoys so much liberty ? ROYAL DECREE. Deeming it is necessary to modify the enactments of my Royal Decree of the 22d of October, 1834, and replace them by others, calculated to indemnify Spaniards faithful to the national cause, for the losses they may have sustained in consequence of the cruel proceedings resorted to by the rebellious Prince, and although my Royal heart be averse to the adoption of similar measures, even when demanded in the interest of those whose poverty must be protected, and having consulted the Council of Ministers, I issued the following Decree, in the name of my august daughter, Donna Isabel : " 1. The property, revenues, rents, and effects belonging to Spaniards of all classes and ranks, who, since the 10th of October, 1830, have abandoned, and shall hereafter abandon, their homes or residences, to go and serve, di rectly or indirectly, the cause of the Pretender, either in AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. IS.—A strict quarantine is now enforced on the whole of the Austrian frontier towards Turkey. The plague, however, is not so near our frontiers as to create much alarm. Bosnia can at the most he considered as suspected, though it is said that there have been some cases of plague at Praedor and Dubieza. The disorder, however, rages with much violence from the South in Ma cedonia and Rumelia. At Koprili and Baskinosello, it is abating rather ; another, hitherto unknown, disorder, to which the physicians have not yet given a name, lately appeared in the Turkish territory, on the Croatian frontier. It proves fatal in a few hours, and at tacks the larger domestic animals, especially horned cattle. Besides this, cases of cholera occur in Bosnia and part of Servia, so that three fatal epidemics together threaten the inhabitants of European Turkey. The Turkish authorities manifest more energy in cutting the communications with infected places, and, at the same time, less selfishness than they used to do in former times, when the rapacious Paellas declared places to be infected, and • ordered the communications with them to be stopped, only to compel the inhabitants to pay them large sums, in order to be relieved from the inconvenience of these measures. This abuse, among others, appears to give way to the power of civilization. SEPT. 20.--Prince Metternich arrived here yesterday ; their Majesties are positively expected the day after to morrow —part of their suite, and numerous equipages of the Court, have already arrived. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 15.—Prince Milosch has arrived at his country seat of Toptschitere, and has already given audience to M. Mechanovitch, the Imperial Austrian Consul. RUSSIA. ST.

M., says,— " His Majesty has passed a very good night, and feels himself perfectly well : the ends of the broken part are in their due position, and it may be hoped that they will very soon be united." POLAND. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 15.—A strange report has spread among the Russian troops, that there will be a campaign next spring. This report, which says nothing either of the object or the theatre of war, has doubtless arisen from the late ukase, ordering a levy of recruits, the grounds for which may be readily justified, so that it is quite i unnecessary to ask for them in any supposed altera tion n the foreign policy of Russia. The soldier, besides, is inclined to war, and therefore any probability, however remote, leads hint to entertain the hope that he may soon have the opportunity to gratify the inclination so natural to his profession.—Swabian Mercury, Sept. 25. TURKEY. The Gernzan courier contains the following letter from Constantinople, of the Ist inst. :—" Conformably to the wish of the Grand Seignor, M. de Boutenieff has written to the Prince Milo sc h to warn him against giving asylum to any refugees, as he seemed to be about to do, and he recom mended him in general to have more respect for his master, the Sultan. There have broken out at Teheran, between the Russian and English Ambassadors , s om e discussions much more s er i ous than those of the Ministers of the same Powers at the Porte. Russian influence, sup ported by the Prime Minister of the Schah, has caused an expedition to be undertaken towards Herr.t, in order to bring again under the dominion of Per s i a th e independent chiefs of the eastern part of Chorassan, since it is only a few years ago that the late Schah had again united to his empire the north-eastern part of that beautiful province. That part of Chorassan which is still independent, and the capital of which contains more than 160,000 inha bitants, belongs to Afghanistan, and its subjection would open the road from the Caucasus to the Indus. The English Ambassador, Mr. Ellis, cannot but have been aware for a long time past of the quarter from whence this ex pedition was recommended ; but he would have no plausible motive for interfering, since Herat belonged, in the life-time of the late Schah, to Persia, if the Russians had not an nounced their intention of supporting the expedition, and of having several of their superior officers take a share in it. The direct objection of the English Ambassador was sufficiently justified, and Mr. Ellis represented to the Schab that such an expedition would disperse his forces ; and that the object of opening a military road to the Indus could be profitable only to the Russians. After many defeats and heavy losses, the Russians have at length gained an impor tant victory over the Caucasians. They made an expedi tion simultaneously by land and sea against one of the strongest places on the coast, in the neighbourhood of Anapa, called Soudjak Kale. The Russian troops amounted to 13,000 or 14,000 men, and they took the fortress, not, however, without heavy loss. By this they have become masters of the coast, and cut off from the Caucasians the convoys that generally come to them by sea. Persons well informed declare that the Russians intend to conquer the whole of the Caucasus, and to occupy all the passes of the mountains. Before it has attained this object, the Court of St. Petersburgh can make no movement, either against the East or against Europe. It is therefore of much im. portance to it to terminate this question ; and the levy lately ordered is thought to have some reference to this plan." SOUTH AMERICA.

BUENOS AYRES. JULY 16.—A Brazilian brig was fitting out in this port and had been cleared at the Custom-house for the Cape of Good Hope. She was on the point of sailing, when intel ligence of her true destination—the coast of Africa, for slaves, came to the knowledge of the Ministers for Eng gland and Brazils, who made application to this Govern ment and caused her to be detained. Accounts have been received from Rio Grande via Monte Video, which state that the Government partisan, Bento Manuel, had been defeated by the insurrectionary leader, Bintos Gonzales, and obliged to take refuge in the Misiones. A squadron sent from Rio Janeiro had also been worsted, two schooners taken, and a bark driven on shore. From private sources I learn that the light-house which serves to guide vessels over the bar of the Rio Grande had been destroyed by the insurgents. In Puerto Alegre there had been a counter revolution in favour of the Government, which was effected by a bat talion in garrison there, aided by the inhabitants of the German colony. The numbers of the insurgents were rapidly increasing in that province. Exchange on England, 7d. per dollar rising ; 6 per Cent Stock, 73 per Cent.

The first was for a long time treasurer of Covent garden Theatre ; the second was several years box-keeper at the same theatre; and the latter was a subordinate actor in the theatre, and assistant to the prompter. PARASITE.—There is no word probably in our language that has been so much perverted or diverted from its original signification, as the word parasite. Originally it meant a k►ng or chief among the priests; sometimes the priest's guest, whom he invited to eat part of the feast of sacrifice ; but now the word is applied to one who creeps into houses for a dinner ; and, to render himself agreeable, flat ters or praises every thing the master says or does. The pa rasites are a very numerous and obtrusive class of individuals. RUSSIAN DIAMONDS.—M. Engelhart, Professor at Dorpt, appears to have been the first person to suggest, from geognostic appearances observable in the mountains of the Oural, that they contained diamonds. From the indica tions he furnished, the Russian Government directed measures to be taken in order to ascertain that fact; they were not, how ever, attended with success. Count Polie, the proprietor of the land, on which is established gold and platinum works, was more fortunate ; and the first Russian diamond was brought to light by his unwearied perseverance, at the time of M. de Humboldt's voyage in Asiatic Russia. The number of these precious stones und only amounted to thirty-five ; and the expense attending their discovery being immensely beyond their intrinsic value, it is more interesting in a scientific, than profitable in a commercial, point of view.—Naturalist, No. 3. LAW VERSUS MUSIC.—While Sir Francis Bul ler was pupil to Mr. Coulthard (uncle to the Graham of Lin coln's Inn) he perched a fiddle, when the special pleader just alluded to, thus addressed him : ‘4 I would advise you, young man, immediately to part with your kit, for music is so en ticing, that if you take t , ) it, you will never put you rgelf to much r pains to endeavour to comprehend Coke upon Littleton.' NI • Buller took the hint, and becanm a Judge. The late " Jemmy Wood" of G locester, was ge nerally an early riser, and upon one occasion, when standing at with sdi at his door, he saw a most innocent -looking- countryman , , , lookingws the sir always a % ,. e d ry asked him " what an anxiously inquiring countenance scanning-cotuhreteforosntspeor-f the houses ; as the banker was the bank," was the son, he addressed the apparent rusticiora he was seeking for. " I am rejoinder ; ' reply. "lts here, walk in " and what be is your business?" ~ Lord love ,, you, man ?" exclaimed the rustic. iam Mr. Wood man," said • " observed the the banker. " Well then, Sir, _ silt customer, " I am so glad that I've met with you, s fo . r . 1 - n i t , to start by the early a coach, and they won't c hange / note nave, although payable says he had in London ; as the bookkeeper not change ; can you do it, Sir ?" The banker replied in the affirmative, saying he must have ss. for the accommodation. .' Five shillings I" said the note-holder. ,' No , , no, your honour, not five shillings ; four." ' Five shillings is charge," I'll give 3 , A you banker ' , ~can't rejoineu the , do it no less." ' 6 Well, re marked the rustic,well, it's a deal of money, but as if I loses the coach I remains here another day, whilst my sick ,aotbcr is dying, it might cost me more than 53.—but won't your honour do it for less?" " Can't, my man." " Why, t h en (Lord bless m e , t h e coach will be , startin), why, t h en, ' with a far-fetched si g h , ~I • must give it, your honour." The note was then handed over and 4/ 15s. given in , . .exchange, and off went the countryman at double-quick rate, to be in time for the coach. The banker then resumed his post at the door, and • -in uue time the clerk appeared to attend his d ut y . " Her e ," exc l a i med the banker, " while you have been sleep i:ng I have been at work, and have got five shillings this morn dig ; l '-n•e, take this note and enter it, and put five shillings on the side of profit." The clerk p ro ceeded as ordered , bu t suddenly exclaimed, " Why, Sir, where did you get this note ?" " Get it," replied Mr. Wood, " why I changed it for a coun tryman, to be sure, and charged him five shillings commis sion." " Lord, Sir, why the bank stopped three years ago, and the note is not worth twopence I" The rest may be easily imagined—a messenger was despatched to the coach—the wolf in sheep's clothing had left by the coach—had the start con siderably, and to fAlow him would have cost more than 4/. 15s. —Coventry Herald. IRELAND. DUBLIN, S ZPT. 28 THE 'VICEROY AND THE DUBLIN C O RPORATION.—The grand Civic Feast on the inauguration of the new Lord Mayor will take place this day. A deputation of my Lord Mayor's men waited upon his Excellency with an in vitation to the feast, but Lord Mulgrave frankly and briefly told their honours that be declined dining with them. The Freeman says his refusal to become a guest was conveyed in nearly the following terms :—" I refused an invitation last year to dine with a Lord Mayor whose politics I believed then to be liberal. It would not be quite consistent in me now to accept yours. I hopf, however, it will be the last time that I shall be under the necessity of refusing to dine with the Dublin corporation." This sensible answer, and well administered rebuke, conveyed in terms that cannot be misunderstood, have thrown the organ of the Orange faction into an a gony o f mort ifi cat i on . I n it s sp l een an d vexation the mail cries out against the discourtesy of his Excellency, affirming that his Lordship has most shamefully affronted my Lord Mayor and his Corporation messmates. The transaction, quoth our angry Orangeist, is so very uncivil, as well as impolitic, that we cannot let it pass without re prehension. He and his clique may vapour and reprehend as much as they like, but the nation will laugh at the crest fallen faction, while every right-thinking man will approve of the just and dignified course which Lord Mulgrave has adopted for discountenancing party spirit. The Mail, it seems, has an intimate and profound know ledge of the Royal mind, and with laughable gravity begs "leave to assure his Excellency, that his Royal Master (who knows as well as any man what it becomes him to do) would not have returned such an answer to the Chief Magistrate of the second city in his empire." What answer the King would return to an invite to din- . ner we confess we have no means of knowing, nor d o we think it worth while to waste a syllable on so insignificant a subject—but, consistently with his Majesty's manifesto, directed against secret societies, we feel fully persuaded that he would best consult his own dignity, as well as what is due to the kingdom over whose destinies he rules, i n showing, upon all occasions, that his sympathies are with the nation, not with the once-favoured faction that till re cently preyed upon, oppressed, and tore asunder insulted Ireland. The Mail says Mr. O'Connell is a Repealer. Is it not notorious that the Hon. Gentleman has laid aside his hobby, and of late repeatedly repudiated repeal, on the con dition that justice should be done to his countrymen. With what reason then can the Mai/ assert that his Ex cellency went out of his way to entertain at dinner a Re pealer, and that he has now taken occasion to put an offi cial affront upon the Lord Mayor, an anti-Repealer ? Our Contemporary should keep his temper, and not neglect his facts. TRADES' UNlON.—There was a meeting of this body on yesterday evening at the Corn Exchange-rooms. Mr. T. Arkins in the Chair. After the admission of some mem bers, Mr. Martin read the letter of Mr. Ruthven to the Trades' Union, from which we extracted the principal passages yesterday. While it was being read Mr. Rey nolds came in, and gave proofs of his perseverance in the course of impracticability which characterize his speeches. It was decided that he was out of order. THE IRISH TREASURY.—We are happy to inform our readers that this sink of corruption will be speedily cleansed, if not totally swept away.—Freeman. PRESBYTERIANISM—The first Presbyterian congregation of Bangor has done itself the utmost credit, in being the first to eater its solemn protest against the late intolerant and tyrannical proceedings of a handful of individuals, usurping the authority of the Synod of Ulster. Unqualified sub scription to the Westminster Confession of Faith, thereby recognising a power in the civil Magistrate incompatible with Presbyterian freedom, was unqualifiedly condemned ; the penal vote of the Synod, in reference to the national system of education, was totally repudiated ; the late in terferences with the rights of the elders were protested against ; the " thrill-of-horror" exhibition was noticed in terms of fitting reprobation ; and, in conclusion, the con gregation pledged itself to support its excellent minister, in vindicating their common rights and privileges against the attacks of their open and covert enemies. —Belfast Whig. JUSTICE RENT—THE REGISTRIES.—The Provincial Journals teem with accounts of meetin g s in aid of the ob jects of the General Association ; and we doubt not that the result will prove as favourable to the great cause at stake as the exertions are honourable to the people. PUBLIC MEETING.—At the meeting held in the parish of Dunkerrin Mr. Fry, of the Established Church, and. formerly a conspicuous Orangeman, spoke. " Whether by his entrance there," says the Pilot, " he thought to cast the brand of division, or whether there be a real conver sion, the future conduct of this gentleman will prove. If the latter, the fact of his having been an Orangeman will render it more creditable, nor do we now allude to it invi diously, but as an element in the proceedings." FRIGHTFUL STATE OF THE POOR IN THE BARONY OF TYRAWLY.-Will it be believed in England that such is the wretched state of our tradesmen here, that it would make one of them " happy to be employed three days in the week, from six in the morning until seven at night, at 7d. a-day ?"—one shilling and nine pence a-week to support a man with five children : this he would consider happi ness It is terrible to contemplate such abject misery— and all this in the heart of the barony of Tyrawly, the richest barony in Ireland, several of the gentry having for tunes of from 5,000/. to 20,0001. a-year. We are blessed with more than the usual number of " Saints and Bible readers" in Tyrawly, who mouth about charity, and suffer the poor to die of starvation. Surely it cannot be denied that the rich grind the face of the poor, and "keep back their hire by fraud," when we consider that it is an ad mitted fact that an able-bodied man, employed an entire summer's day in tho field, after all his toil, sweat, and labour, can get but 6d. a-day, without food ; and that the most industrious and active woman, spinning from six in the morning until ten at night, can only earn three-half pence. In fact, many would have perished this year but for the humane exertions of that maligned and belied body of men, the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland—they have, indeed, acted the part of the good Samaritan. CHILD MURDER AT THE PALACE OF THE BISHOP OF WORCESTER. Our correspondent at Worcester transmitted us a brief allusion to the murder of a child by its mother. We now give the report of the inquest, taken from the Worcester .Journal of yesterday :—A report having been circulated yesterday that a child was found dead in one of the servants' bedrooms at the Palace, with marks of violence appearing on the body, an inquest was yesterday morning held before Mr. Hyde and a respectable jury of 15 of our fellow citizens in the dining-room at the Palace, when, after a very dili gent inquiry, it appeared that a female in the service of the Bishop, of the name of Charlotte Grouncell, and who has been with the family upwards of nine years, came from the Palace at Hartlebury on Wednesday last, with other of the servants, to the Palace at Worcester, where our much respected diocesan is entertaining a large party of his friends. From the evidence of one of the *male servants it appeared that Charlotte Grouncell had consi derably increased in size since July last, and the same servant s tated that she slept in the room \vial Charlotte Grouncell every night since she came to Worcester till last night, and that during the night of Monday Grouncell was evidently in great pain, and groaned so loudly that her groans awoke her fellow servant. Grouncell would not, ;how ever, say what was the matter with h er and always de -1 nied being in the family way. On the morning of yester day, when her fellow -servant left the room, about seven o'clock, she said she was much better, and should come down to breakfast ; but not doing so, one of the other sac vents went up to her room with some tea, and found Groun cell sitting by the bedside, apparently in great pain. This servant ran down stairs to the housekeeper, and told her that Grouncell was very ill, and that some medical person must he immediately sent for ; and messengers were in stantly dispatched for Mr. Pierpont and Mr. Hill. The housekeeper and another servant went directly to Groun cell's room, and it was then ascertained that she had been very lately delivered of a female child, which was after wards found dead under the bed. Mr. Hill came at this time, and he was immediately followed by Mr. Pierpont„ and on taking up the child they discovered a quantity o f blood about it, and that its throat was cut to the extent of three inches in length and one in depth. Search was made about the room for a knife or scissors, but none were found. There was no direct evidence before the Jury of the child's having been born alive, as no one was present at its birth, and no cries of a child were heard by any one in the house. The Coroner, upon this, directed a po s t 7nortem examination of the body, to ascertain if the child was or was not born alive ; and this examination was forthwith made by Mr. Pierpoint and Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill stated the wound must have been made with some sharp instru ment, and could not have been caused by the act of tear ing the child away with the hands, and that from the post morlent examinaaion he was certain the child was born alive, for the following reasons, namely—that the lungs of the child floated in the water, with the heart attached to them; that on cutting into the lungs the cells were found full of air : and that air could and was pressed out of the cells, which would not have been the ease had the child been born dead. The wound in the neck was sufficient to cause the death of thm child. The CORONER briefly summed up, and the Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder ' against Charlotte Grouncell, the mother of the child. , ) . ‘. ...., ... .
