RUBISIA ANT) CHINA : - THE NEW
BOUNDA&Y TILIATY.

Mos ova Own

IT. PITIRSBURG, Auocrr 26.
The Journal of Me Baena' Academy contains •
correspondence from bkatek, the capital of Siberia,
dated the 2nd of July, in which the importance of
the treaty with China is pointed oat. By this
treaty, the writer says, the question of the boundary
line which was left open at the Peace of Mort-
china (1689) is definitively settled. la that arrange-
ment both the contrasting powers (Amelia and China)
the settlement of the boundary line frees
tsteresal 7thidegres of oast longitude down to the mouth
of the Amur to a future period, owing to the then
almost ..known topography of this district, which
soaqprhes a frontier of 1600 went', or more than a
thousaad &ilia miles. Russia in the meantime
claimed poseession of and occupied it by a chain of
military pests; and China, though she never acknow-
ledged it as belonging to Russia, did not actually
depute it, though Russian diplomacy could never
hitherto Waite China to recognise it by treaty.
Now, however, under the pressure of internal
disamminne at home, and of the war with the
Western Powers abroad, the Celestial Govan-
meat was more easily induced to owns to
terms with Ramie, and to recognise the
shim of Russia to the beautiful district of the
Maul of the Amer, in the Mir preventing
their patting forth I (further demands, which,
under present circumstances, maid not be resisted
with caeca... In this way the treaty concerning
the boundary hoe was brought about, which is one
of the greatest importance for Russia, and will form
ens of the brightest pages in the reign of the present
Emperor, and will immortalise the name of Mouravieff,
the Governor-Geaeral of Siberia, who negotiated it.
In the course of time the rich and fruitful lands oa
the Amur will, it is predicted, become the granary
of Eastern Siberia and the Reasian settlements in
America, as well as the principal own market for
the millions of inhabitants in China and Japan. This
e autiful tract of country =stains all the element,
for producing unlimited supplies of grain and cattle.

Ulla Choton (called Che-Lan-Chin-Chen in atlases
and Aighun in Russian), the river Amer will farm
the boundary from the spot when the river Sheiks
joins the Argue, down to the mailmen' of the Useari
with the Amor. Below the mouth of the Used
both banks of the Amur down to the sea belong to
Bemis ; and the free navigation of the U.euri is con-
ceded to the Russians, and that of the Lower Amur
to the Chinese. The ambition of Russia and the
traditional policy of Peter the Great have thus at
length been fatly realised and it now remains for
Roads to improve this peaceful conquest by a proper
system of eeleatiou sad the development of its
magnificent resources. For this purpose the Gover-

turn to Irkutsk before the latter end of September.

MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
-...----

(mon ova ow* onmeseownearr.)
sfitiorteHals, TiIIIIIDAT EvaNtmo.
The mieeellaneous concert of last evening wan not
on the whole a bad one of its had, bat it madly
lacked interest for bearers accustomed to the musical
performances of the metropolis. Formerly it was
really necessary to give provincial audiences at the
autumnal music meetings the gratification of lis-
tening to the fashionable performers, and the
fashionable pieces, of the previous season ; but this
necessity is diminishing daily ; for such is now
the communication between London and the

provinces that there are few persons who have
not frequent opportunities of enjoying the entertain-
ments of the capital, or of seeing and hearing our
priacipal dramatic and musical artists in their
periodical excursions to all parts of the country.
The managers of the festivals ought to think of this,
and to consider that it is now nearly as neceaary to
consult novelty and freshness in Birmingham, or-
wich, or Leeds, uin London. The concert of last
night was neither well attended, aor did it
seem to give the audience any great degree of
pleasure; and I cannot help aacribuig this circum-
stance to the contents of the programme. Who is
there to whom the hackneyed " Largo al factotum,"
"Il /egret° per neer relict'," or "Di pacer" as
have anything of the interest of novelty? When
they are well sung, as was certainly the case, they
please ; but there are very few people who, for the
sake of each things, will think it worth while to go
to a concert. And yet it was of such things
that the largest portion of last night's en-
tertainment was composed. The trifling English
ballade, sang by Mr, Sims Reeves and other " native"
vocalists, are not a whit mote worthy of a place in
the programme of a Birmingham Festival; and as
to Mr. Weiss's song, " Mad Tom," set down as Fur-
cell's, Mr. Weiss and the framers of the programme
ought to be aware that it is neither Puraell's nor at
all worthy of his name. Mendebecan's cantata,
" To the Sons of Art," was properly introduced, as it
is a little-known production of an illustrious man,
whose name is dear to Birmingham. Bat " Mese-
dum bonus dormitat Homeros," and Mendel-
sohn has now and then nodded se well.
This cantata was written for a special omission, and,
like raw other things made to order, lacks the in-
spiration of genies. It pais= heavily eff ; the
Mandee of the choral harmony being crushed under
a load of bruen =mid. The beet and most =came-
ral things were Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony,
end Rossini's overture to Guillaume Tell, both of
which were superbly played, and listened to with
evident delight.
The day of the Messiah is always the great day
of the Birmingham Festival. Before this wonder-
ful work, the offspring of a genies which may
well be called superhuman, all others, how
grand and beautiful =ever, must hide their dimi-
nished heads. The performance of this morning
drew an enormous crowd, and put the whole town
in commotion. From en early hour the streets were
rendered ahead impassable by the multitudes who'
were either making their way to the Town-hall or
gazing at the equipages and gay parties who were
peeing along. Bat it is a feature of a Birmingham
street-creerd that it has nothing of the character
of a mob; the greatest good nature and
civility universal) y prevail. On this occasion every
seat was disposed of days ago, all at the highest
rats of admimion, a guinea, at which rate numbers
more might have been sold had the Hall been able to
contain them. I must again observe, that, notwith-
standing the eagerness and excitement which pre-
vailed, there was no ma fusion or scrambling.
Thanks to the excellent arrangements and the
general good humour, the Hall filled as smoothly
and gaiety as on any ordinary occasion.
The performance came as near perfection as can
well be imagined. It resembled thaw of Exeter-
halL The conductor being the same, the peculiar
readings introduced by him, which have been so
often noticed and commented upon, were of course
reproduced ; and the principal performers were
nearly the same with those gene all heard in
London. The part was divided between
Clan Novello a2rCianslel ; the contralto between
Madame Viardot and Mies Dolby ; and the bus
between &RAH and Weiss. Such divisions I
do not curtain as improvements, and I was
glad that the whole tenor pert was given
to Sims Reeves. It was a pity that Miss
Dolby was deprived of two of her fined songs—
" 0 thou that tallest good tidings to Zion," and
" He shall feed his flock," which she singe with such
purity, feeling, and vocal beauty, that she has really
made them her own. I have no fault to find with
Madame Viartiot's way of singing them. She is
always a great artist, but Handers music is not her
forte. Clara Novella's singing was immaculate in
its sublimity; and Belletta made good his repu-
tation of being the best foreign stager who
has (in our day at least) essayed English
oratorio music. Though, however, the per-
formance was very similar in its details to those
of Baetcr-hall,it greatly excelled them in its effect—
aa much, indeed, as Exeter-hall is excelled by the
Town-hall of Birmingham.
The receipts (including 4001. of donations and col-
lections) were 2,7891. 61.—a trifle less than the
" Messiah-day" in 1836. The number of persons
present, too, was smaller than in 1836. This at first
sight seems inconsistent with what I have men-
tioned above—that every
..eat that the Hall
could held was sold at the hest rate, one guinea.
But, as every inn of these • seats was
reserved and numbered, a greeter room was allowed
for each individual than would have been the use
if (as formerly) persons had been allowed to crowd
into the unreserved half-guinea seats ; so that
the present arrangement, if lees profitable to the
Hospital, was more comfortable for the public.
The peesident's gallery presented the same array
of rank and distinction as on the previous day;
with some additions, among whom were her Grace
the Duchess of Beaufort, and the Right Hon. Sir
John Pakingtos..
