One of the firm may also be consulted at Manchester—MON DAYS, TUESDAYS, and WEDNESDAYS, at 86, King street, (removed from No. 36, Mosley-street.) Mons- M. continues to restore Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity, with his celebrated MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM so Universally recommended by the Faculty of London and Paris. The operation of stopping Teeth is performed in a few seconds. The "Mineral is put into the cavity in an almost liquid state, without heat or pressure; it hardens into enam e l, all a y s the.most excruciating p a in, an d lasts for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. Loose TEETH FASTENED, whether arising from neglect age,. disease of the gums, or the use of calomel. INCORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL T EETH, from a- single one to a complete set, matching exactly in form and colour the adjoining ones. These Teeth will not corrode or become discolotired; they are fixed, without wires or other. ligatures, on a principle which imparts to the countenance a youthful and improved appear ance, and, whilst they afford support to the adjoining Teeth,. however loose, answer ever purpose of mastication and articu lation. To Clergymen and public Orators labouring under defective pronunciation, Mons. M.'s method of replacing Teeth will he found peculiarly valuable, as it obviates all def ec t s o f articula tion, particularly th e inability; ko 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. Natural Teeth placed on the above improved principle. Mons. M. particularly invites the members of the Faculty to witness the operation of filling Decayed Teeth with th e i r Mine ral Succedaneum, o f which they are the sole Inventors and Possessors. Charges as in Paris.—Hours of attendance from 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 competed for, and there was consequently a large number of flowers staged. The fir s t p r i ze , a half-pint Silver Cup, was won by A . Molyneux, Esq. with a pan cont a ini ng eighteen blooms, which con s i s t e d o f Ri va l King, Lord Chichest er , Metropolitan bloom, Hon. M rs .

The second prize, a Silver Cream lug, 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 Whites, Hon. Mrs. Harris, Levick'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 Rival, Elphinstone's Polyphemus, King of Whites, Widnal's Corrals 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 westmst not omit to notice the flowers which were less successful, each and every one of which presented some attraction for the lovers of these nee flowers, and each received its meed of praise.— An 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 pleestire 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 nay; and, latterly, the congregation could not assemble in the church for divine worship without the apprehension of considerable danger. A parish meeting was therefore held to inspect 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, an d it was unan i mously resolved that the said wall should be taken down and rebuilt, and that, to meet the expenses, the church-rates should not be 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 ceiyini, the report of Mr. John Palmer, of Mancheste r , archi tect, who e 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 honourable 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 when economy . is used in the expenditure of the public money, and publi c i t y 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, an d w hi ch furnishes a laudable ex ce ampled t a forble li t a o i t laThitoa EASTUANI FERRY. TO T1IF: EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL MERCURY. your last publication, in the reporrof a meetin , * having for its abject the projecti on of ;.% new road betwe en Wales and Liverpool, I find the following, " Mr. Ambrose Lace said that passengers were not able to get from Eastham to Liverpool more than once in two hours. " Another g entleman observed' that th e boat sometimes struck on the banks, and he himself had been stuck there for an hoar and a half. " Mr. Boyden said he had very often been detained a couple of hours by hieing five minutes too late for the boat." I deem it necessary not to. pass this in silence. " Another gentleman" is most likely a . Bock Ferry proprietor, and, there fore; difectly intereisted" in injuring nistham 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 banks; 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 understand his observa tiods in no other light,) of the great punctuality observed in the sailing of the packets from Easthani is somewhat of the drollest. If the packets were detained past their appointed titne 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 Eastham is far the safest and most acceptable ferry on the Alersey, and more particularly so in had weather \ —until they can talk and scheme aw a y t hi s fact, they are likely, as far as th o se wko.know anythi ng of Eastham, and a re d is i n t eres t e d a s i s e a r g ry e sto boatsco uld Liverpool, n t 0 parties, go, to have their l a b our as the only reward for their pains. M y boats have made and as man if y persons knots, when the h e l owe p r another gentleman" will divest himself of 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 t i give them pub licity, I trouble you to give publicity to these observations. Yours, &e. ItIQUAIID SMITH. Eastham Ferry, Sept. 22, 1836.

We have received a file of Jamaica papers 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 was 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 1 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 v. ith, 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 endeavoured to discharge my duties - - as your Goveruor." 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 thf conipliwent of deliver ing to him thavtollowing address, which was read by the , Speaker, the' Marshal standing nekt *to him with the mace " The House of Assembly 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 tbeir 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.' Arriving amongst us at a period the most eventful in the history of British colonization—selected for the responsible task of reconciling us to a vast and most hazardous change in the constitution of our Society, it was but natural that in introducing the new order of things, your opi nions should come into collision with long established feelings and habits, and certain that obstacles, almost unsurmountable, should attend the discharge of duties so invidious and onerous; but it has been your Excellency's part, by a firm, temperate, and judicious exercise of the great powers entrusted to you, to adjust these ditlerences, to conquer these difficulties, and,• by determined resolution, to promote and enforce among our la bouring classes that industry, on the continuance of which the success of the great measure of emancipation wholly depends, to adopt the only means by which this colony can be saved from ruin, and its inhabitants reconciled to the changes which it has been their lot to encounter. " The House of Assembly sincerely regrets the loss the co lony will sustain on your Excellency's relinquishment of its government; but they must be permitted to congratulate you, Sir, on the distinguished honour which -your services have merited from our most gracious Sovereign; and their fellow colonists of Jamaica, on the prospectthey have of obtaining, under the administration of your Excellency, ,the inestimable advantages of just and impartial government. " In conclusion, they beg to , offer to,yonr Excellency their most earnest wishes, that you may succeed:in the fullest aecom lishment of the high duties on which you are about to euter, believing that you will thus obtain your greatest reward, and that on your retirement from the cares and anxieties of public life, you may long continue to enjoy in the bosom of an affec tionate family the blessings of health and domestic happiness." To this address his Excellency was pleased to deliver the following reply : " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Honourable House of Assembly, "The position you have placed me in this day by the unex pected honour of the representatives of the colony waiting upon me, with this laudatory address, is one I have just reason to be proud of;. and I shall cherish the remembrance of the generous spirit which dictates this course with long and earnest grati tude. The aim and the end of all government should be the people's welfare. A governor should always he a public man, void of private interests, of partialitie s , or prejudices—and tak ing these principles for his common guide, they will be sure to carry him safely through his duties. " It is, therefore, a great triumph to me, that your honour able house hai recognised my faithful exertions to administer this government with justice to all classes. Whatever haul been the difficulties you have had to contend with, I have always be lieved that the time would come when you Would feel that a governor is but the humble instrument of higher authority; vet it has never been the design of such authority, that he should irritate by any bitterness of spirit those who, by the great voice of the people of England, are doomed to risk the rights of property. '1 advert with sincere pleasure, to the integrity of purpose, with which the legislature of this colony has yielded to the fla- tiunal will. " It is well known that I am a sincere friend to the negroes, but I solemnly deelare my opinion, that to' insist on industrious habits among them, is as essential to their own latippiness as it is to your rights, " Whenever this principle relaxes from any cause, they mu s t go back in the scale of civilisation.• The history of the world proclaims, that there never was a people happy or virtuous without industry. "1 very sincerely thank your bon. house, for your congratu lations on his Majesty's gracious favour towards me, by placing me at the head of the government of Jamaica—a situation far RPOOL STA ND) beyond my pretensions or deserts, and Qne I belieVe, surrounded by many difficulties. But I shall not shrink from them, and the kind feelings with which your hon'. house have determined to grace my departure, ought to satisfy any colony that I have been an honest man, one determined to pursue his duties fear less of all consequences. " Let me, gentlemen, repeat the deep interest I shall feel in this colony, and I pray heaven to bless all your legislative measures, and to increase your happiness and fortunes." His Excellency, the formal business of the day being now over, rose, shook hands warmly with the Speaker, and hospitably invited the members to partake of some refreshmer.t. 1 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 constituted 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 intercourse with highly intelligent Spaniards, we haVe long since become fainiliar. We have'no hesitation in pronouncing it to be the most desperately jacobinical association in Europe,— it is the club of the "exallacion," a term of impassioned zeal which the English language does not sufficiently convey in one word. The exaltados are the extreme ra diCals of Spain. This club has been suppressed by a focal ordinance published in the Gaceta for the present. 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 therlerafty Jew financier, to delude the people of the ca pita It is now established beyond doubt, that Alaix 'never cati:iedlV'tVith Gomez ; but that he met with a party of raw dirli ( 44 following in his rear, whilst Gomez with his regular troops was four or five leagues in advance, and unable to,'' aye 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 Gederal 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 ! 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 sula, has been decided in the negative, as we predicted it 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 Don 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- H , ernment 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 !argil 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- mation on which we can depend, that the entire army is • • imbued with republican principles —at least that portion of. it which takes a political part, whilst the newly raised levies are as much in favour of Don Carlos as Christina ; nor can the fidelity of the provincial juntas be depended upon. We are furnished with the reports of the importan proceedings at Birmingham, and Framlingliam in Suf folk, simultaneously. These splendid gatherings render a postponement of our intended observations on the freedom of the press imperatively necessary; and as we feel a lively interest in the success of the conservative cause at Birmingham, we first proceed to notice the re sults of the meeting recently held at Dee's Royal Hotel in that town, the particulars of which have been for warded to us in a special form. Without desiring for a moment to disparage the effcrts made and making in our own borough, we do earnestly wish to impress on the attention of our readers, the objects of this meeting. To our neighbours we say, here is a subject for your emula tion. Within five short years the black flag of revolu tionary tyranny was paraded through the streets of Bir mingham—her churches were desecrated and her morals i broken down by encouraging scenes which disgraCed a civilized age, and by an association with principles at once base in-design and ruinous in execution, polluting the very natne of liberty. That she should now stand forth high in her championship of the cause of our God, our Church and our King, is to us a subject of the greatest hope, and of. high e x u lt a ti on .

V the fine oration of Mr. Shaw, by puffing the flimsy trash of an unmeaning congeriez 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 ! popish and radical faction, each 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 ini qu ity o f th at compact, which has been made with an alien power for the covert and trealonable 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 assoc i at i on i n D u bli n, 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 England—the cause is common—the danger is common, unite with us against it ; and waiving all minor difTerences, 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 have each 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 elitj of the whig. radicals that " mere passive union is not a thing easy to maintain ; that there must be 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• vernment, 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 tithee ; 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 ih 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 Record . Zr. 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 be to unite the distant Poles. Lord Mulgrave's is a drawing-room diatribe of manceuvring 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 OCT. 7. 18:36. THE :MUSICAL rESTIVAL. Tuesday morning, the first day on which the actual business of the festive! 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, and the neighbourhood of St. Luke's Church wore thronged with gaily dressed parties, either going to the announced performance at St. Luke's or Kern:marling 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. Whiny 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 church. The announcement for the morning was a sermon, to he preached by Dr. Gilbert, principal of Brazenose College, Ox ford, 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 door, 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 or 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. •"l'une, Barton—From the parochial psalmody of Grestrex. " Quartett—Miss Birch, Mrs. A. Shaw, Messrs. Bennett, E: Taylor, arid Chorus. "; The Yenite and Psalms for the day were chanted. " After the first and second Lessons, the ' Te Denim,' and `Jubilate,' set to music by Dr. Nares, were sung by the principal singers, &e. "The Principal Singers and Chorus. "AFTER THE Tim /RD Col,l.liCT—Anthem—Solo, Mrs. Wood. 0 Lord, our Govern or .' .Marcello.

A. Shaw, Mr. Brahatn . . Mr. H. Phillip s , an d Ch orus. " Sir George Sniert presided at the Organ." The service was announced to commence at eleven o'clock, • but long before that hour numbers 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 int - the aisles as well as the seats being occupied by a respectablei 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 part of which, Mr. Brnhain 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 veiled throughout the assembly. The Psalm, however, wai given with exceeding precision, Mr. Burnett taking Mr. Bra haul'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 with the concluding chorus was exceedingly vivid and effective. The 29th chapter of the Book of Job was the first Lesson appointed for the day: after which followed fire " Te Deux." 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 gradual advancement in the science has superadded. Its sudden pause's, 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: and anon the quiet and sweet commencement of supplication, increasing in ardour as it pr ocee d s , ro lli ng f ugue on fugue till the air seemed burthened with harmony,—all these were given with a gracefithinss and distinctive force, which, while it occasionally reminded us of the " water from the source," made us f e el grateful, also, that generat i ons h a d ar i sen with imaginations to conceive, invent, and develope, and powers 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 front the commencement of the '29th verse, was much enhanced by the evident tone of feeling with which the reader himself Was inabued. His delivery of the verses, " For I was an hungered and ye gave me meat, I was thirsty and se gave me drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye clothed me, I watt 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 terised by simple pathos and dignity which atcottled with the subject. The tone of mind into which thi . g led the congregation was finely adapted for the reception` of the "Jubilate." The effect of the verse " For the Lord is graCimis," 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 to the H o ly Ghost," &c.,—the tr om 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 sung 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 itis 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 allude to her having, to a very trifling de gree of certainty, displayed, iu this instance, too much action, 'his, however necessary it may be in operas, and that it is so cannot be denied, is altogether out of place and inacimissable in a choir formed for the performance of sacred music. We trust this hint will not. he 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 change 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 effect to her efforts in Italian music. Mrs. W. Knyvett gave the recitative, " My heart is disquieted," with that simplicity which belongs to the school in which her style was formed, and of which she is the only representative. The concluding 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 ()pinions had arisen as to the propriety of such obser vances as the present. It would be rash, he thought, to make their religion forbid that which the heart felt to be innocent ; at . the same time he would guard them against taking the license thus accorded and suffering it to lead them into 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 bad commanded them to love one ano ther. Speaking of the charitabl e in s tit u ti ons o f thi s town, the rev. doct o r 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. Thaw, Mr. H. Philips, and Mr. - .* Bennett, the last-named gentleman undertakingthe 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 striking. At the close of the service a collection was made at the doors, the plates heing held by Lady Eleanor Hopwood, the Hon. Miss Wilbraham, Mrs. Brooks Mrs. W. Earle, and Mrs. 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. The 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. When the whole of the company had assembled, the coup d'wil was most magnificent. The pit or parterre presented a blaze of beauty such as we have seldom seen equalled • the tasteful dresses of th e l a di es contrasting finely with '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, hut the gallery was crammed to the ceiling.

Nothing of importance has reached us by last nights' mail, excepting the following additional intelligence from Spain : The corps intended for co-operation with the Queen of Spain, which had assembled at Pau, was dissolved on the 26th ult., by an order of the day, signed by Colonel Josse. As to the de feat of Gomez, nobody appears to consider it as of the slightest importance. A telegraphic dispatch in the French ministerial papers states that he is at present in the Sierra d'Alcarrez, between Murcia and La Mancha, meditating, we suppose, some new surprise. Another telegraphic dispatch announces the occupation of Alp, near Puycerda, by the Carlist troops under the command of General Maroto, but who evacuated in a few days afterwards. A skirmish took place at the pass of Roses, between the Chris tinos and Milicians of Puycerda, in which the former were re pulsed, with trifling loss on both sides. In the French newspapers we do not find any domestic news of much importance. The affairs of Switzerland occupy much of their attention, and a letter from the Duc de Montebello re specting his late operations there, will be found in another part of the paper. It appears to us that he has behaved in a manner by no means commendable. du foi an to' Co Attw —Ha Fir 'from Rec Rec Rec Rec gored.
