At the same time it is hoped, that thi pains which have beets ' taken to explain all obvious difneulties, and to derive from each passage its appropriate lesson, whether of doctrine or of duty, will render the work uo less useful to those who study the Word of God iu private. • Printed for J.

To Clergymen and public Orators labouring under defective pronunciation, Mons. M.'s method of replacing Teeth will be found peculiarly valuable, as it obviates all def ec t s o f articula tion, particularly th e inability to give the proper sound to the Dento-lingual double Consonant TH. The use of Artificial Teeth in some instances has been found objectionable by invalids taking medicines that have a tendency to discolour them, or in the performance of operations which compel their removal, perhaps, in the presence of an attendant or domestic. Mons. M., however, has been successful in re moving these objections by constructing Teeth for those pur poses of substances, and in such a manner as to render them capable of withstanding. effects of the most inimical nature.

Charges as in Paris.—Hours of attendance }'tom Ten till Five WEST DERBY DAHLIA SHOW, On Friday last a meeting, for the exhibition of Dahlias, was held at the house of Mr. Westmore. This meeting held out considerable inducements for ensuring a large attendance of growers, it having been announced that three pieces of plate were to be comp e t e d f or, an d t h ere was consequently a large number of flowers staged. The first prize, a half-pint Silver Cup, was won by A. Molyneux, Esq., with a p an containing eighteen blooms, whi c h consis t e d o f Rival King, Lord Chichest er , Metropolitan Perf ec ti on , H on . M rs.

The second prize, a Silver Cream Jug, was won by Mr. J. R. Greaves, with twelve varieties, consisting of Levick's Commander-in-Chief, Springfield Rival, Superb Yel low, Beauty of Cheshunt, Widnal's Perfection, Queen, Cassina, Hall's 'Mogul, King of Whit es , H on . M rs. H arr i s, L evick ' s Incomparable and Purpurea Perfecta. The latter gentleman also had the third prize, a pair of Silver Tea Tongs, awarded him, winning with the following pan of six blooms :—Queen, Springfield H.ival, Elphinstone's Polyphemus, King of Whites, Widnal's Comus and Bohemian. It has seldom fallen to our lot to witness such a beautiful assemblage of flowers as on the present occasion, the rich colours of the above successful blooms,- and the perfect state in which they were shown, eliciting high eulogiums from all who beheld them : at the same time we must not omit to notice the flowers which were less successful, each and every one of which pie sen t e d some attract i on f or the lovers of these 'fine flowers, and ,each received its meed of praise.— Au extra prize was awarded to Mr. Hall for a dish of very fine apples, of the class termed Alexander. In the evening a number of gentlemen sat down to a dinner prepared by Miss Westmore, a'caterer whose excellence it has often been our pleasure to notice in terms of praise. The even ing was passed in the most social manner, and the company separated at a late hour. PARISH CHURCH OF WINWICK We have great pleesnre in laying before our readers the following statement respecting the repairs of the parish church at Winwick, which have just been completed. The south wall had for some years been inclining inwards, and the arches giving way; and, latterly, the congregation could nut assemble in the church for divine worship without the apprehension of considerable danger. A parish meeting was therefore held to insrect the state of the wall and to determine how it should be repaired, and also in what manner the neces sary funds should be raised. At this meeting, a considerable number of the landowners and ley-payers attended, and it was unanimously resolved that the said wall should to taken down and rebuilt, and that; to meet the expenses, the church-rates should not he mortgaged, but that a great effort should be made to raise the money at once by collecting a sufficient church-rate, in aid of which the rector gave one hundred pounds. The work was advertised, and let by contract to George Potts William Walker and William Greenwood. And, at a meeting of the lay-payers, held on Monday last, for the purpose of re ceiving the report of Mr. John Palmier, of Manchester, archi tect, who was engaged to superintend the progress of these repairs, and also for the purpose of examining and settling the accounts of the churchwardens in respect thereof, the rector, as chairman on behalf of the parish, signified to the contractors • the satisfaction they had given by the hon‘.,urable and workman like manner in which they had executed the contract, and at the same time they received a substantial testimony of his ap ! probation in a present of ten guineas. by the willingness and promptitude with which the parishion ers raised the money necessary for the completion of the work, at a time when the subject of church-rates has been so much agitated in different parts of the kingdom, another proof is given that whe n economy is used in th e expen di ture o f the public money, and pu b licity is given to the accounts of the officers, a confidence is established and a cordiality of feeling produced between a rector and his parishioners which is equally parties, and w hi c h f urn i s h es a lauda b le ex c re ampled t a furble o imitation. th EAS;I:LIAM PERRY. TO THE EDITOR of THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY. your last publication, in the report of a meeting having fur its abject the projecti on .of a new road between Wale's and Liverpool, I find the followi ng: _ " Air. Ambrose Lace said that. passengers were not able to get from Eastliatn to Liverpool more than once in tw o hours. " Another gentleman observed that. the boat sometimes struck on the banks, and he himself had been stuck there for an hour and a half. _ " Mr. Boydell said he had very often been detained a couple of hours by being five minutes too late for the boat." I deem it necessary not to pass this in silence. " Another gentleman" is most likely a Rock FerrT proprietor, and, there fore, directly interested in injuring Lastham Ferry; but if truth and honesty had been among his qualifications, he would not have contented himself with the vague assertion, that my boats "sometimes" strike on the hanks; he would have stated when, and how often, and under what circumstances. But such a statement would have done me no injury; and there fore it was, I have a right to infer, that "another gentleman" made his assertions in terms that the public, always timorous on such matters, would interpret to the disadvantage of East ham Ferry. Mr. Boydell's complaint, (for I can understandunetutity observedli his n observa tiodsi in n o ot h er li g h t, ) o f t h e great punctuality the sailin g of the packets from Eastham is somewhat of the drollest. If the packets were detained past their appointed time for the accommodation of laggers, I should have no little difficulty in knowing when to despatch them. Unless there is punctuality in a business such as mine, there can be no Con fidence on the part of the public. The lower ferry people, under the disguise of "another gen tleman," and "several gentlemen," may talk and scheme as they like, but until they can talk and scheme away the fact that Eastharn is far the safest and most acceptable ferry on the Mersey, and more particularly so in had weather—until they can tafk and scheme away this fact, they are likely, as far as those who know anything of Eastham, and are disinterested par ti e s, go, to have their labour as the only reward for their ' ,dins - My boats have made passages to Liverpool, as many persons know, when the lower ferry boats could not ; and if "another gentleman" will divest him se lf o f his disguise, and ask for proof, he shall have it. if it were not that strangers may be prejudiced by the ma licious statements of " another gentleman" I should not have thus noticed them; and as you were the first to give them pub licity, I trouble you to give publicity to these observations. Yours, Sze. RICHARD SMITH. East/Lain Ferry, Sept, 22. 1836.

FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 7,183 ff We have received a file of Jamaica Tapers up to the 25th of August. The Kingston Royal Gazette contains a proclamation, issued by the Marquis of Sligo, further proroguing the House of Assembly to the 27th of Sep. tember. The following address of Sir Lionel Smith mit} deli. vered to the House of Assembly at Barbadoes, upon his appointment to the government of Jamaica:— "I have the honour to announce to you, that his Majesty has been graciously pleased to remove me to the government of Jamaica, and that I am ordered to proceed thither, by the ear liest opportunity. "Though I have been unwilling to disturb your prorogations, I thought it my duty to call you together, to communicate this information, and I avail myself of it, to offer to your honourable house my parting good wishes. "I pray that your hon. house may be animated in all your proceedings by a sense of the weighty difficulties you still have to contend Nlith, and that wisdom and forecast may carry your deliberations to a successful issue. " Whatever my future destiny may be, the happiness and prosperity of this island will continue to constitute one of my anxious hopes and wishes, and it has been in this spirit of good will that I have faithfully endeavouted to discharge my duties as your Governor." Immediately after the communication of this message, the house adjourned ; and the members , stepped in their carriages, and proceeded in a body to the Government House, to pay his Excellency the compliment of deliver ing to him the following address, which was read by the Speaker, the Marshal standing next to him with the mace : " The House of Asseiribly had the honour of receiving, at its last meeting, a communication from your Excellency, an nouncing that his Majesty had been graciously pleased to re move your Excellency to the government of Jamaica; and that you intended to proceed thither by the earliest opportuni ty. The house desiring to evince in the most respectful man ner their feelings towards your Excellency, resolve to attend their Speaker on the occasion of replying to your Excellency's message. " The house offers to your Excellency the best thanks for the kind expression of your ' parting good wishes' to them ; and while they cordially unite with you in praying that all their deliberations may be conducted to a successful issue, they can not but deeply deplore that, amidst the `weighty difficulties' which still surround them, they will lose the valuable assistance and support they must necessarily have derived from your Ex cellency's ' wisdom and forecast.' " It is highly flattering to the House of Asssmbly, and can not fail to be equally so to their constituents, to receive from your Excellency the assurance that the ' happiness and prospe rity of this island will continue to be the subject of your an xious hopes and wishes.'

His Excellency, the formal business of the tidy being now over, rose, shook hands warmly with the Speaker, and hospitably invited the members to partake of some refreshment. The affairs of Spain become daily more and more im portant. Our recent intelligence informs us, that five or • six embassies are broken up. Naples, Sardinia, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Holland, thus withhold their re cognition of the reigning government! The Madrid journals, at least La Revista and Gaceta, make no re serve in stating, that the ambassadors of three of the powers were required to demand their passports ; this of course amounts to a virtual declaration of war on the part of the mob-military aonstituteri government. As a proof of the strength of the exaltados, or extreme move ment, or, in plain English, the republican party, they had attempted the restoration of the Landaburian Socie ty, under another name, " Regenerators." This society led to the former revolution, subsequent to its formation in 1822; and as we are well acquainted with the•doc trines and principles it then propounded, we may give our readers a little insight into the workings of the prime movers and the names and objects of that society, with which, from personal opportunities, and inteccourse with highly intelligent Spaniards, we have long since become familiar. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it to be the most desperately jacoblnical association in Europe,— it is the club of the "exaltacion," a term of impassioned zeal which the English language does not sufficiently 'Convey in one word. - The exaltados are the extreme dicalS of Spain. This club has been suppressed by 'rOYal ordinance published in the Gaceta tor the preseni. ..:Mendizahal reigns:supreme dictator; and the falsehoods put forth by the military reports, respecting the defeat of Gomez by the Brigadier Alaix, appear to be the work of the crafty Jew financier, to delude the. people of the ca pital. It is now established beyond doubt, that Alaix never came 'up with Gomez ; but that he met with a party of raw Carlists following in his rear, whilst Gomez with his regular troops was four or five leagues in advance, and unable to give assistance; but this trick of Mendi zabal had the effect of raising Spanish stock in the French capital, and so far answered his purpose. Not a word of the repulse at Requenda is stated in the last ac counts; and if the Carlist General had approached this old fortified town, it was most probably a feint to draw off the attention of the "constitutionalists," as we sup pose we must now designate them, in compliment to Lord Palmerston and his friend Mendizabal! What a picture of imbecility does our Spanish policy present to view I Were we wrong in our assertions lately, in our exposition of continental affairs, when we warned Lord Palmerston of the results? The question of interven tion on the part of France in the affairs of the Penin. isula, has been decided in the negative, as we predicted would be. The subject received its final consideration in a private Council held last week. This we pledge our selves to be the case; and the French minister commu nicated immediately to the Spanish ambassador the grounds on which the government of the King decided against anything more than a formal recognition of the remaining. authority of Christina, without reference to any course the English - government might think fit to pursue. France has thus finally absolved herself from all participation in the quadruple treaty ! This decision cannot fail to produce a serious effect upon the cause of the Queen Regent, or rather of her ministers; whilst the base decrees of sequestration which have been re cently promulgated will inevitably have produced in creased adhesion to the cause of Dun Carlos as the only hope of restitution. . • The French Government could hardly have been ex pected to involve itself in difficulties through which it could not see its way; and yet the decision of that go vernment 'cannot fail to weaken the prospects of - the reigning party, left to its own resources and to be sup ported by sequestration and forced loans, with a large portion of the population voluntarily supporting the cause of Charles the Fifth and the law of hereditary male succession, despite of Ferdinand's abrogation thereof, to gratify the vanity of a designing woman, led on by a faction ; whilst another powerful party are clamouring for a republic, and threatening extermination to all who oppose them, and several of the provinces and cities dis- puting the authority of the government altogether. Such a condition of things has not existed since the reign of terror in a neighbouring state ; and the Regent may be said to have been left without any party of real respecta bility or moral worth whereon to rely ! We have infor popish and radieal faction, oath aspiring to destroy the independence of the British monarchy—one genera burst of indignation would have echoed through the land ; but thanks to God, we have fully discovered the black iniquity of th a t c d mpac t, which has been made with an alien power for the covert and treasonable pur• pose of destroying the balance of power existing, as yet, in the three estates of this powerful realm. Shall this atrocity be permitted ? We call upon our fellow-coun trymen of every rank, to stand forward, and free them selves from the stain of being either the passive or the active agents in such political turpitude. We enjoin them, by all they hold dear, as Englishmen, to read the treasonable speech of Mr. Barratt, recently delivered at the mock justice association in Dublin, to ponder it, and then say whether we have appealed to their understand ings or to their hearts, on shallow premises. There let them read the lesson of moral depravity, unmasked—of base ingratitude unblushingly declared—of treason in de sign, with daring hardihood avowed, by the leading in struments of a faction in Ireland, fostered by the respon sible advisers of the Crown, as the only prop of their authority ; and reflect, if ever anything; more glaringly anomalous existed in the government of an enlightened community ! We say to you —men of Englandthe cause is common—the .danger is common, unite with us against it ; and waiving all minor differences, respond to our call. The sentiments expressed at the constitutional meeting at Birmingham, are truly English, and they must tell throughout the kingdom. The sentiments ex pressed and cheered at Dublin, are not truly Irish—the majority of the Irish people must and will repudiate them ; but in the mean time we have to maintain the in tegrity of the empire —to uphold the laws—the consti tution, and the Protestant throne of Britain, or nobly perish in their ruins ! Mr. E. L. Bulwer and Mr. Daniel O'Connell haveeach addressed their constituents. The former gentleman, as he is the least notorious, (saving as a novel-writer,) we give the honour of the first seat at our table, especially as we consider him by far the least mischievous person age of the two, both in design and execution. This constitutional representative of the wealth and intelli gence of the second borough of the empire heads his proclamation —" The Lords, the Government, and the Country !" The object of the worthy member for all Marylebone is ostensibly to heal the breach between the rival cabinets of Circus-street and Downing-street, and to prevent the consequences which the defection of our friend Feargus is calculated to produce in the Whig-radical camp, Mr. Bulwer tells'the elite of the Whig• radicals that " mere passive union is not a thing easy to maintain; that there must he some living principle, as it were, in fused into a body, the different parts of which are, for any length of time, to act and move together." One would imagine that Mr. Bulwer had just taken a hint from Dr. Carpue, the anatomical lecturer; for his illus tration of the theory of volition is in point. The next chief article of grave advice runs thus :—" Since a party policy and a decided policy is pursued against the go• vermnent, let a party policy and a decided policy be pursued in the government. No favour is to be expected from the lords—all power should be taken from the tories!" We have tried over and over again to compre hend this logic, and we must leave it to our readers and the erudite of Marlebone to expound it until a little more patience and a little more leisure. Now for the great, great 0. He has addressed his "be loved" of Kilkenny in a new and fierce proclama tion against tithes; but, as we cannot furnish his epistle to-day, it would be unfair to fight with shadows; for this most equitable, upright, anti-alien patriot never assails any one behind his back, and it would be most ungentle manly in us to do so ; therefore we promise him a short story, open fighting, and fair play. We really have neither time, space, nor inclination to notice at length the shallow speech of the Lord Lieute nant of the Whigs—we cannot bring ourselves to write— of the King of England, in addressing the Lord Mayor of Dublin, at the late inauguration. It is a third-rate effort of oratory, put forth for the purpose of smoothing down the proposed popish corporations, but which sinks into entire insignificance, after the lucid and powerfully argumentative speech of the learned Recorder. The latter embraces mighty objects, and disposes of them with powerful effect, and strength of reasoning, sustained with classic and legal erudition. To compare these two addresses, would he to unite the distant Poles. Lord Mulgrave's is a drawing-room diatribe of manoeuvring sounds and soft rhetorical flourishes, replete with fine sophistries, and dressed up with the addition of a small page from Numa Pompilius ! An effort to break down the fine oration of Mr. Shaw, by puffing the flimsy trash of an unmeaning congeries of undefinable principles, under the cant term " popular privileges," could have been expected to end with no other result. Had his Excellency possessed the least share of common dis cretion, he never would have attempted this display, under which he has entirely broken down—by observing silence he would have preserved dignity—by his attempt at oratory, he has exposed his own vanity, and ignorance of all constituted law—at least, the law of England, and splendidly exhibited the utter worthlessness of Whig government ! ~ OCT. 7 1536. THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. Tuesday morning, the first day on which the actual business of the festival might be said to have commenced, was ushered in as beautifully as the most ardent anticipator of amusement and pleasure could have desired. The morning was mild, refresh ing, and delightful, the sun giving radiance, sprightliness, and joy to the scene which the principal streets of the town at an early hour began to present. Lord-street, Bold-street, t and the neighlinurhood of St. Luk e ' s Ch urc h were t h ronge d with gaily dressed parties, either going to the announced performance at St. Luke's or promenading about to observe those who were; whilst the bells of the church, by their merry peal, gave a business -like air of bustle to the whole scene. Mr. Whitty and a strong body of police were stationed around the church to prevent confusion and destroy the hopes of harvest by the light-fingered gentry, one or two of whom were early observed paying especial attention to a lady's gold watch, as she entered the chu rc h. The announcement for the morning was a sermon, to be preached by Dr. Gilbert, principal of Brazenuse College, Ox iord, with a musical service. It was our intention, in addition to a description and critique of the musical part of the service, to have given a verbatim report of the sermon, which we have heard was a most excellent one. We were, however, denied admittance at the dour, unless we could produce a ticket, which we were not aware was necessary. On applying at the proper quarter, either to obtain or purchase a ticket, we were told that unless we purchased a set for the whole of the performances we could not have one. Having already provided ourselves with tickets for the major part, we did not choose to do this. Our readers must accept this excuse for not fulfilling our intention ; it is the loss of the public, not ours. We are indebted to the Courier for the following description and critique of the morn ing's musical service:— The service commenced with the • '"Psalm xii, from the Rev. H. Kennedy's Church of Eng land psalm book. •"fune, Barton—From the parochial psalmody of Greatrex. " Quartett—Miss Birch, Mrs. A. Shaw, Messrs. Bennett, E. Taylor, and Chorus. The Venite and Psalms for the day were chanted. " After the first and second Lessons, the Te Deum,'and 'Jubilate,' set to music by Dr. Nares, were sung by the principal singers, Ssc. " The Principal Singers and Chorus. "AFTER THE THIRD COLLECT—Anthem—SOLO, Mrs. Wood. ' 0 Lord, our G overnor .' " Bacons THE SERNION—Anthem, Madame Caraduri Allan and Mrs. W. Kuyvett, Hear my Prayer.' Kent. AFTER THE SElMON—Anthern—` Plead thou my cause.' Mozart. " The solo parts by Miss Birch, Mrs. A. Shaw, Mr. Braham, ' Mr. H. Phillips, and Chorus., " Sir Geor ge Smart presided at the Organ." The service was announced to commence at eleven o'clock, but long before th a t h our num b ers of the congregation; all the individuals of which were admitted by ticket, began to assem ble. By the hour appointed the church was filled, the space in the aisles as well as the seats being occupied by a respectable congregation. The Rev. Rector Brooks officiated at the read ing -desk. The service was opened by the choir giving the 41st Psalm, in the second phrt of which, Mr. Braham was to have joined in the quartette with Mrs. Knyvett, Mrs. Shaw, and Mr. H Phil lips. The rumours which had been for the last two days preva lent in the town, of the illness of this gentleman, were now con firmed, and a general feeling of disappointment and regret pre vailed throughout the assembly. The Psalm, however, was given with exceeding precision, Mr. Burnett taking Mr. Bra ham's part. The emphatic chorus, •‘ Let therefore Israel's Lord and God, From age to age be blest, And all the people's glad applause, With loud amens expressed," • burst forth, and was carried to its conclusion with striking energy and effect. After this followed the Venice, which was chanted by the prin cipall singers. No happier combination of the spirit-stirring with the solemn could possibly exist, than was displayed in the music of this beautiful chant. The effect of the trumpets and trombones when they burst forth withahe concluding chorus was exceedingly vivid and effective. The 29th cicapter of the Book of Job was the first Lesson appointed for the day: after which followed the " 'l'e Deum." Never was this hymn of praise given in a manner more emi nently calculated to raise the heart to an ecstacy of devotion. With excellent taste, the singers departed not from the classi cal simplicity of its construction, which combines the majesty of the Roman chant with the dignified and subdued solemnity* which the gr a d ua l a d vancement i n t h e science has superadded. Its sudden pauses, where the music dies away into awful still ness, succeeded by a burst of praise, which seems again to pause from the want of adequate power of utterance: andanon the quiet and sweet commencement of supplication, increasing in ardour as it p rocee d s, ro lli ng f ugue on fugue till the air seemed burthened with harmony,—all these were given with a gracefulness and distinctive force, which, while it occasionally reminded us of the " water from, the source," made us feel grateful, also, that generations had arisen with imaginations to conceive, invent, and develope, and Flowers to wield such sub lime, though, in truth, simple harmony. The second Lesson for the day was the 25th chapter of the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The impressive manner in' which the Rev. Rector Brooks read the service seemed to be felt by all present. The solemnity of the subject which follows from the commencement of the 29th verse, was much enhanced by the evident tone of feeling with which the reader himself was imbued. His delivery of the verses, " For I was an hungered and ye gave me meat, I was thirsty and ye gave me drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ve clothed me, I was sick and ye visited me, I was in prison and ye came unto me," with the subsequent appropriate verses to the conclusion, was solemnly and appropriately emphatic, and met with a respondent feeling in every breast susceptible of emotion. His reading of these passages was not tinged with an affectation of that peculiar eloquence usually denominated fine reading, but it was charac tensed by simple pathos and dignity which accorded with the subject. The tone of mind into which this led the congregation was finely adapted for the reception of the "Jubilate." The effect of the verse " For the Lord is gracious," where the music is gradually softened, and dies away to almost nothing, succeeded by the magnificent choral burst which accompanies the words "Glory be to the Father, and to the. Son, and s to the H o ly Ghost," &c.,—th e tro m b ones an d drums mingling with the deep bass of the organ, and assisting the superstructure of tones which is built thereupon, had a most magnificent effect. After the third Collect, Marcello's anthem and chorus, " 0 Lord, our God," was sting by Mrs. Wood. The task was diffi cult to express in words the effect which she produced, and the death-like stillness which pervaded the congregation, told that the feeling was general. She seemed bent upon giving in all its force, with the music, the feeling of the words which she' uttered, and the consequence was, that her performance was not less characterised by correctness,. than by vivid expression. One fault we have to find with her, and it is one of which she will have some difficulty in divesting herself, as it is one of habit, arising from her professional engagements having obliged her more frequently to exercise her vocal abilities in opera than in church music. We ellude to her having, to a very trifling de gree of certainty, displayed, in this instance, too much action.: This, however, necessary it may be in operas, and that it is so, cannot be denied, is altogether out of place and inaomissahle in a choir formed for the performance of sacred music. We trust this hint will not be thrown away upon her. Immediately before the commencement of the sermon, Kent's , anthem, " Hear my• Prayer," was sung. The ripening duet was given by Madame Caradori Allan and Mrs. W. Knyvett. The ' rumours that have been prevalent of the effect which the news of the death of her friend Madame Malibran had on the mind and health of Madame Caradori seem to be fully borne out by her altered appearance, the chance in which since we saw her in Manchester during the festival which was recently held in that town, is most striking. Her solo, "Take heed unto me," was well given; but those who may have heard her praises as a vocalist sounded by the breath of fame, must not take this as a criterion whereby to judge of her abilities. She was evidently out of voice, and lacking in that energy and animation whi c h gives so p ower f u l an e ff ect to her efforts in Italian music. Mrs. W. Knyvett gave the recitative, " My heart is disquieted," w ith that simplicity which belongs to the school in which her style was formed, and of which sh e i s th e on ly re p resen t at i ve. The concludin g duet and chorus were well performed. The Reverend Dr. Gilbert seems to be a minister possessing more meekness than energy, and more learning than eloquence. He founded his discourse upon the 34th verse of the 13th chap ter of the Gospel by St. John,—" A new commandment give I unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, love ye also one another." In the course of his sermon, the Rev. Doctor said that differ ferent opinions had arisen as to the propriety of such obser vances as the present. It would be rash, he thought, to make their reli g i on f or bid t h at w hi c h t h e heart felt to beinnocent ; at the same time he would guard them against taking the license thus accorded and s uff ering it t o l ea d t h em i nto the dissipation of over indulgence. We were all imperfect, and some were disposed to see faults in the religion of others that they could not in their own. He trusted they would examine their own hearts, and see that in all things they were governed according to the precepts of Christ, who had commanded them to love one ano ther. Speaking of the charitabl e in s tit u ti ons o f t hi s town, the rev. doctor sa id it might be truly averred, that their fame had gone through the land. If this mart of commerce sat as a prin cess amongst us, she also marshalled us in charity. The deaf, the dumb, and the blind alike had their misfortunes alleviated, and the immortal spirit was approached through the avenues that were still left open. The rev, divine closed his sermon by an exhortation to his hearers to endeavour so to form their hearts after the precepts of Christ, that their charity should arise from the feelings that he himself had inculcated—their love for one another, even as he loved them. Mozart's beautiful anthem, "Plead my cause," was then sung by Miss Birch, Mrs. A. Shaw, Mr. H. Philips, and Mr. Bennett, the last-named gentleman undertaking the part which had originally been allotted to Mr. Braham. The animating chorus, " I will give thanks," was splendidly delivered. No thing; could exceed the precision with which the choristers went through the different parts of this difficult piece, or the effect which was produced by a combination so perfect and strikia„es At the close of the service a collection was made at th e doors, the plates being held by Lady Eleanor Hopwood, the Hon. Miss Wilbraham, Mrs. Brooks Mrs. W. Earle, and Airs. J. Langton. The collection amounted to £lll. 13s. 6d. TUESDAY EVENING'S CONCERT. In no instance has the committee displayed greater taste and judgment than in their adaptation of the Amphitheatre for the holding of the concerts. 'llse size of the building is such as to insure comfortable accommodation to a much larger audience than might be expected, even on an occasion like the present., Notwithstanding this, the concert of last night was what would in a common way, be called a full house. It is seldom we have witnessed a sight of greater splendour than that which the Amphitheatre presented on this occasion. ce il When the whole of the company had assembled, the coup d' was most magnificent. The pit or parterre presented a blaze of beauty such as we have seldom seen equalled; the tasteful dresses of the l a di es contrasting finely with the deep crimson of the seats and floor. The box circle, which was the second part of the house in point of price, was but comfortably filled, but the gallery was crammed to the ceiling.
