WARE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

-
The above graml performance of Sacred Music took
place, ss announced. in e parish church of Wire on Wed-
nen, demand for tickets becuame very pressing as
the lay' Ili
day of p rformance drew nigh, and all that were issued,
amounting to 1600, were disposed of hefore Tuesday even-
ing. a.' ,:ven when all were sold the demand increased.
envies.: of the we ether, and the names of our two
molt distinguished vocali,as, Miss Stephens and Braltain,
attract! el a very cons;ellt snide portion of the reek and
ronseqnence of the county to the place. Long before
eleven o'clock, gay equipages and vehicles of ry do,
gripti in were continually arriving. and at the time of
opening the dents every avenue to the church was com-
pletely thronged. The church is a flue Gothic and lofty
building, well -adapted to such performanms. At twelve a
platform erected in the chancel, which was peculiarly ae-
rated to the patrons and patronesses end their friends.
its entirely filled with the most faeltiortable company,
stet displayed a perfect galaxy of hi :atty. The
rot of the church was very much crowded wills
meet
performs. Brabant was in fine voice, anti
esecuted hissoloa in " The Messiah," &c. &c. in his usual
masterly style. Of our old favourite, Miss Stephens, enough
cannot be seal ; we therefore decline the task of awarding
ler full owed of praise. Miss Johnston's style of ringing
was much and deservedly admired. Ilawee and Bellamy
could not fail to please. The chorusees were executed with
a skill and precision seldom equalled ; and the organ,
erected by Bishop, gave great effect to them. This instru-
ment is now perfect, having lately had the addition of a
choir by-the same eminent builder. Mr. Lttppinn presided
at it with his usual ability. The whole was conducted in
such a manner as to reflect the highest credit upon those
who hail the management of it. In fact, we do not know
that we were ever present at any meeting of this sit scrip-
then that seemed to give metre geemeral satisfaction. Not-
withstanding a large body of eonstaldes was in attentlattce,
the light-fingered gentry were on the alert, and made ex-
tecsise depredations. One gentleman had his pocket
picked of LW/.

ANOTHER ACCOCNT.
This long-expected festival took place on Wednesday
last. in Ware Church. From an early hour in the morn-
ing, which was truly auspicii us, catriages came into the
town, filled with fashionably-dressed ladies and gentlemen
from all parts of the county, and from ten till twelve o'clock
the town was particularly full and ga; ; every vehicle that
could be used on such an occasion was in requisition ; and
the inn-yards not being sufficiently large to accommodate
the great influx of carriages, every place in the town
where they c :old be deposited was crowded to excess. The
ehureb doors were opened at eleven o'clock, and the rush
to obtain places was very great : but the Committee hav-
ing determined to admit no persons but those who had
tickets till a quarter before twelve, an opportunity was
thereby afford, d, to all who had admission cards, of get-
ting good situations, and the accommodations in general
were more than could he expected. At twelve o'clock
every place commanding a view of the orchestra filled,
and indeed every part of the church was crowded. The
performance began precisely at twelve, and every attention
was paid to it by a crowded and brilliant audience. The
whole went off with great eclat, and seemed to give gene-
ral satisfaction. Mr. Braham acquitted himself well, and
the arduous recitative. " Deeper and deeper still," was
masterly and very effective—indeed we never heard him
to greater advantage. Miss Stephens was particularly
happy in her selection, and the ease and elegance with which
she warbled forth her heavenly notes had a fine effect :
" I know that my Redeemer liretli," " Agnus Dei," and
" Let the bright Seraphim," were well executed, and Mr.
Harper's trumpet obligato in the latter was in his usual
trPe of superior excellence. Miss Johnston's upper notes
are very fine, and she displayed considerable judgment in
some parts of her performance, but she is much in want of
confifienee. Mr. Bellamy is deservedly a great favourite
is his line; his " Behold, I tell you a mystery," and
" The trumpet shall sound," were effective. The cho-
russet were full and well sustained throughout. Of the
instrumental performers we cannot apcak in terms suffi-
chintly commendatory, for the orchestra was filled with
first-rate musical talent; but we cannot omit noticing Mr.
F. Cramer's Violin Obligato, in Handers First Concerto :
it was a masterly performance, and was worthy the just
e,:lehrity he has attained in the profession. Mr. Lindley:a
Violoncello Obligato accompaniment to Mr. Braliam s
" Gentle Airs" was worth the whole admission money.
His performance was wonderful, having the effect of two
or three instruments, and die exquisite harmonies he pro-
duced were such as but few could equal on the violin. In-
devil the whole seemed to give perfect satisfaction to a more
iiiiinerous and elegant congegaiion than ever was known in
Wire church: we calculate there were about 1800 persons
pr. sent.

THE PRESS;

cocoa bark (for cordage, &c.), atittsome salt fish and other
provisions. They formerly imported into Surat and other
places on this coast, from Iluesorali, large quantities of
hin.t or assairettlia, ammoniacal t wits, dried fruits, sul-
phur, and various drugs, and some gold and silver cturs,
musk, embroidered velvets, carpets, Wee, pearls, anti trea-
sure ; from Scind, cargoes of rice, tanned leather, put-
chuck, and piece goals; from Chins, tea, china ware,
silks (both raw and wrousht). Rutter-candy an.l sugars;
from Mocha, coffee, dates, &c. and occasionally gold anal'
silver coin. In the course of the last half century they
have become, in some of the Malabar States, prepared
rather to export sugars, rice, and raw silk, than to
import them ; anti the growing facilities of our
trade with Egypt must have effectually closed every
foreign channel, through which they may have for-
merly vented by re-exportation the comtnodities they had
received from Mocha. Th e other branches of trade here
intlicat ti, however, to the present moment, and under
the superintendence of British flutist) y and skill, might in
four or five years be immeasurably extended. As to rice,
perhaps no district in the whole world could be pointed
out so admirably adapted by nature for raising it in any
quantity as the whole of Goojerat, with its abounding
streams and adjacent lowlands. The trade with Persia,
and even with the ports of Arabia, in this grain,- if
properly conducted, would be an inexhaustible source
of agricultural employment and profit. Indeed, the
western shores of Goojerat are eminently adapted to
render that province the staple of our Persian trade. A
vast number of rivers fall into the sea, which may be en-
tered, for the moat part, with great facility ; and numerous
little bays, creeks, and inlets, afford shelter against almost
every wind. This country, in short, is excellently well
qualified to become the entrrpot of the commerce between
the west and the south of Asia, and of India and Africa.
The trade which might be carried on with the dominions
of the Puha of Egypt Would certainly be of the most lu-
crative description. As, on she one hand, it would be im-
passible for that ambitious hut ieselfigiett Prince to obtain
ship timber, especially teak, on so good terms as from Ma-
labar ; and, on the other, his cottons and his rice would
not be accepted in barter ; he would be obliged to pay for
this timber in gold or silver—an operation altogether in
favour of the merchant in In-lia, who has to carry silver
into all his principal Oriental markets. I would further
venture to suggest, that some more refining process than
is now adopted in the manufacture of cocoa-nut oil, and a
better management of the fishery in the vicinity of Bom-
bay, for example, where the curing is very imperfectly per-
formed, would provide two important articles of consump-
tion for Egypt and Arabia. In return, might there not be
imported, with great advantage, and on a large scale, horses
from both those countries and from Persia? The native and
naturalized breeds of Hindoostan have long needed much
improvement; sett the rich Mottoes, who can scarcely be
enamoured of the miserable appearance of the Mahratta gal-
!owes, or the Tattoo pone, of the Scheike country, however
hardy and serviceable each of these animals may be, have,
in many instance', possessed themselves of Arab steeds, as
handsome as those of their Rajahs—but the race, generally.
is wretchedly deteriorated in size and spirit. It is not at all
impnesible that the example of a few British colonists might
even reconcile the natives to the employment of horses in
draught, in which cue the demand for better and stronger
breeds would rise prodigiously, and render neceesary fur-
ther improvements by crossing, probably with European
steed,. If it be true (which I think is doubtful), that
among the 11'estern Ghsuts of the Malabar there are found
strata of stone, very dissimilar from that which pr.ncipally
enters into the composition of those mountains, and which
more resemble, both in their heavy texture and porous qua-
lity, that of which we mike our filtering's/ones, it may be
safely assumed that no article could be provided for the
Penman markst which would be more eagerly purchased
the had and turbid quality of almost all the waters in that
country would render such a pacificator net merely a fa-
vourite luxury, but an almost inappreciable blessing.
• Central India produces an immense variety of quadru-
peds, of which the fors, I am seared; on high authority,
ieicht form the staple of a most lecratfire trade with China,
and with the countries to the north slid north-west of the
Peninsula. It is true that in intensely cold climates the
furs of animals attain, at certain seasons, a finer growth
and quality than they are usually observed to do. in tropical
climates; bat some of the most beautiful of the quadru-
Ted* ire- review han ttoitadicheitiingicas a s4*
tiger, them-vat, the ounce, , ) hate hithevto
formed a branch of Indian COMMene absolutely insignifi-
cant, compared to the value sad importance which it would
prove of, if prosecuted with but even a moderate share of
enterprize and capital. The richest spoils will be gathered
in the north-western end the eastern provinces of the
Peninsula.
The countries bordering on the coast of Coromandel hive
ever been celebrated for their riches, and the excellence of
their manufactures. The most exquisite muslin', the
finest cottons in the world, silks of many and transcendent
dyes, highly-tempered cutlery, &c., among the latter ; and
of the former, opium, Ise, saltpetre, civet, honey, maize,
wheat, rice, ginger, pepper, ealt, sugar, indigo, wax, betel,
tobacco, dyeing anti other drugs, &c. In short, Bengal,
with her neighbouring 'provinces, undoubtedly comprises
one of the very richest countries in the world ; because,
abounding herself in every sort of natural wealth, she is
able not only to supply the wants of her own people, but
to send the amazing superfluity of her produce to other
nations, from whom she receives, in exchange for her com-
modities, principally gold and silver. But it is needless
here to enlarge upon the extreme productiveness of Bengal,
the healthfulness and fertility of Behar, or the agricultural
wealth of Berar, or, in fine, upon the very commanding
position of all the countries in, and adjacent to, the Coro-
mandel coast, for the trade of all the richest countries of
the East.
It is notorious that the capital defect of the Coromandel
coast is its total want of harbours. No doubt this is its
great—l had almost said, its only deficiency ; and it is one
detrimental not merely to the better prosecution of our
own intereolonial mai India coasting trade, hut propor-
tionably favourable also to the power and opulence of the
maritime countries lying ow the opposite coasts of' the Bay
of Bengal, for they possess several excellent ports, which
not unfrequentlY prove the only shelter to which European
vessels can steer, when pressed by stress of weather, or the
necessity of refitting, or of taking in stores. This being
the case, it is not surprising that they should have become
ports for the building as well as the reception of ships ; and
it is a well-known fact that for some years past 3000 tons
of shipping built by the Burmese have been annually sent
by that people for sale to Calcutta, and to Bombay and
other ports in the Peninsula. Since "there is not a single
harbour, from Caps Comorin to. the Ganges, capable of
affording shelter ton vessel of 300 tons, while, on the op-
posite shores of the Bay, the Burmese have, among others,
Negreis, Rangoon, and Memo' ;'.lknd the King of Cochin-
China has actually consuncted, within' his dominions, a
well-equipped 40-gun frigate, which has this year visited
our settlement of Singapore; the expediency of our form-
ing harbours, if possible, on the Coromandel Coast, must
be self-evident. It surely is marvellous that no attempt
should have been yet matured to execute such useful
works in two commanding situations, where, if Nature
have not actually provided ports, she has placed some of
requisites
the most essential and admirable for their prepa-
ration. In looking at the town of Inmate, one is struck
with its commodious and comtnan mg poeition on a lake,
separated from the coast only'hy. a narrow bond, or bank
of sand and 'coral, and directly accessible from the ocean,
at Armegon. •
The above-named impediment might be removed or cut
through, with no great labour, and at inconsiderable ex-
pense. The moat active and efficient agent for its
.retnoval
is already provided in the surf ,which breaks powerfully
as at Madras, and to
htheer eso, thoughuthwa by
southward of FuleolirtaSst.SoGveorialegem.ly Hail a Brindley Or a
Rennie been consulted in relation to such a project, he
would long ago have contrived to turn the full power of
the surf upon the spot which it might have been deemed
necessary to open sod to deepen ; sad, by one and the
same operation, base opened a passag
the e from the area into
the future the fury of the
surf,
enlarging the shallow bed upon
l akbev, and
loh3vai veng exalnidaus t for
which it at present breaks. In this lake there are tour
islands, Ilamruty, Pointy, Varautl, and Ircunt, all of which
Would afford facilities, except only during a small portion
of the year, for docking ships„&e. Another stations very
Capable of providing, it the expense of a little attention

.

and industry, more than one port for the reception of ship-
ping navigating along the Coromandel Coast, is the cele-
heated lake of Chilean, the mouth of which, open to the
sea, and stretching in a south-westerly direction, &fibrils a
sheltered passage for veisels into the main lake, while the
river Nurchard, which ruts parallel with the sea coast, aoll
enlarges the bed of the Chilean, would afford abundant,:
supplies of frith water.
We have' already seen with how much advantage, both
to this country and to individuals, a great variety of sta-
tions that are et present absolutely waste and solitary, or
most unprofitably occupied, ea the two coasts and in the
central kingdom of India, might he colonized by Briiish
i sealers; and I shall conclude these auggeslions its another
paper, by setting forth imue few of these stations, and re-
`capitulating some of their most prominent and lulu:lto-
gums features.

SPAIN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
SIR,—Observing in your journal some interesting re-
marks upon the state of affairs in Spain, and particularly
the extraordinary conduct of its wretched king, I am in-
duced to trouble you with some observations. which, if
they shall seem to you deserving of attention, I trust you
will give them insertion at your convenience. Next to
the state of the kingdom itself, nothing, I believe, has
puzzled the British public so much as the mysterious policy
of the French Cabinet in its continued occupation ; for
certainly, in its present state, it can only be a mill-toone
round the neck of France, alike useless to her as an ally,
and a source of inquietude as a neighbour. Here then a
question naturally arises—Why does not the French Go-
vernment make use of its present commanding influence
in Spain, to compel the King to introduce a proper system of
government, such as alone can re-establish permanent tran-
quillity and good order. The answer is, that the principles
of legitimacy forbid such an interference. The French
Cabinet having invaded the country in the spirit of the
Holy Alliance, and on high monarchical maxims, could
not recognise any changes unless emanating from the un-
controlled will of Ferdinand. Earnest advice is all that
these maxima permit, and how little effect any other than
the " worst" can have upon such a wretch is sufficiently
notorious. Then again, it is no less lamentable than true
that there exists among the Spaniards a very strong and
influential part, composed of the priesthood and high
noblesse, whose interests are opposed to a change of go-
vernment ; and as :these' possess' the entire control over
the lower orders,' they are of course very pciwerfnl.--
They .would resist innovations, even though favoured 1,
by the King, and still= more forcibly when brought
forward under foreign dictation. There is no doubt that
the Liberals, though the least numerous, are the strongest
Early, and .could. keep down the others • but whilst the
French troops remain in the country they cannot show
themselves; because, although these are not numerous now,
they yet know that any serious rising on their part would
bring them in collision with the French, in which case
they would be promptly reinforce:l from France. 1 his,
depend upon it, is the only reason that prevents Mina
and other patriots from again appearing on the stage at
present: lam Convinced that the French Government ar-
dently wishes to quit the country, whenever it can be done
consistently with their principles, and that their sole object
in staying is to indemnify themselves for the enormous ex-
penses the invasion has cost them. They perceive that
whilst they hold the fortresses they have some kind of se-
curity for the payment; but were thy to evacuate them,
and the Liberals to get the upper band, they would of
course refuse to recognise the debt, and justly too, as they
never invited the French, who came to overthrow them. As
it is, whenever a change takes place, the new Government,
to get them out of the country, must come to some cum-
.promise. When this change may be, it is of course impos-
sible to say • bull think it requires no great stretch of fore-
',sight to predict, that when the Charter of Portugal shall
have taken root, and becomes quite ennsoliddled, it will not
be long before it spreads its benign influence to Spain, 'and
buries in the dust Ferdinand and his despotism.
Apologizing for the length of thtse remarks, I am, Mr,
Editor, your obedient humble servant,

CeILYIV.4I4I. AND 1,154r0el auxux COMPANr.
The report of the last Meeting of this Company which hes been
sent to the other Morning Papers, from a quarter with which we
are well acquainted. sone In substance with that Which we laid be-
fore our readers a day before. After the Seelpholders were admitted
the conversation was continued, but appears to have been merely a
repetition of what had before occurred.
Questions were put to Lord Palmerston se to his opinion of the
Directors, and as to the view the House of Commons would be
likely ft take of the case, in the event of its being brought before
them. He tidied. tlwt they possessed the same means that he had •
foe judging of the Directors, and he thought the Heine of Com.
moss had too much to do in the way of legislation to entertain the
case at all. His Loedship then said, 7 should wish to know whether
those questions are asked Me merely the yourself, or to satisfy other
parties ?
SHAREROLDER.—For the satisfaction of other parties as well as
myself. Your Lordship has, unfortunately, by becoming a Direc-
tor, identified yourself, although wholly innocent, with
in men who
have hatched this vile scheme of deception, and you are, Point a
law, liable to be sued as well es any other of the Directors.
Lord PALMEISTON—I have consulted my lawyer, and he says
he shall resist any demands made soon me by the Shareholders and
Scripholden of the Company. We consider them bound, by the
deed of settlement, to discharge the debts of the Company.
The conversation ended here.

tinction in Italy hail sent to her banker in Paris, to request
him to send her a quarter of a hundred weight of this va-
luable commodity, for the use of herself and friends.—

ERTEgT.—MUNICH,IB.—We are in-
formed, by letter from Lohr, a Bavarian village situated
between Sackenbaul and Manternach, that a serpent 18 or 20
feet long has been discovered, some days ago, with its head
of the size of a dog, lying on the ground, and the bode of
corresponding thickness. It was seen first on a neighbour-
ing bill, situated 130 paces from the Mein, rolled in a spiral
form, in a hush, and darted itself thus, in three leaps, from
the hill into the river. Two men who witnessed this pheno-
menon attested these facts before the Bailli, who imme
diately ordered measures to be taken to destroy a reptile so
extraordinary in our climate.
We have just learnt that a bloody war has taken place
in the department of liet Manche, between two Com-
munes, owing to the aft a/ some land sold by Mr. de
