The Blind 800 was last night performed fur the
first time on tiiose boards. The characters have
been very ably cast•-••411(1 the piece went off with

beautifully expressed by Mi,a KELLY, who, in

ciiaracter of the Blind Boy the irresistible charm
of gentleness and saimerity—und excited a more
than common interest for the fate of one so good,
MI helpless, and so persecuted. She sang her airs in
plaintive and pathetic style. Mrs. W. S. CHAT-
YERLLY. whom we could wish to see more frequent-
ly tutu tile *time, was a very pretty and intelligent

do beyond the execution of a few airs. He acquit-

adapted to a popular French tune, was much ap-

T. P. Coosa's Kafig was eXCelielit. The e bat
betwerm him and morow (Mr. SatrEa), was ably

MACCLESFIZI.D.—.Two troops or the 6th Dra-
goons hive arrived so this town. Troops of the
some regiment nre alas stationed in Leek and Con-
‘{'r are corny, it is observed, that the tur-
bulent spirit which has shewn itself in some of our
41.9.-Ittetsring towns should have required their pre-
sent - among us ; hut our regret is considerably
livieitviied in knowing that means have been taken
to orate a si nilar discontent amongst the pence-
Ole and orderly at-limns 'of this borough ; most
var. esti), do we emotion them not to give ear to
11,w.e who in the dark or night have attempted to
scatter a tire-brand amongst them.--( Wheeler's
Alawchester Chronic/e, August 13.)
We are sorry to observe that the question respect-
ing wages, which has been so long pending between
the masters and the operative spinners. still remains
. unsoiled, and that the same spirit of hostility
'cant' es to be 'little,' to those men who are dis-
tailed to return to their lawful employment, which
•bvs b-rsi so repeatedly and daringly offered in the
course of this alarming contest. We have also
tioitced the sarious papers which have been circa-
lord, mid placarded on our walls to mislead the
public and to excite the MCI/ to continue in their
Pegil combination, and we deem it necessary that
the should be correctly informed, and th.it
Iltatemeent*, void of truth, should not remain un-
tuctigtatlicted.

We have therefore tsken some pains to procure
cervuct information, and we pledge ourselves that
toe facts we now state are authentic. Dining the

JUDGMr•.NI.
BANGOR CATHEDRAL
The Lotto Crtaacet.t.oa I before disposed
of one point this caw. and on which the Nlitotr's
report was conclusive, that the fund ought to he
laid out in repairing and iwsutiffing the Cathedra!,
for which rearm) I confirmed ii. The next question
is, whether the Master Mita right in appropriating
any part of the estate left fur the support of the
choir to the precentor ut►d the two vicar dwells ?
I sin of opinion they are entitled, if there is a fond
suff►cient, although they have hitherto not called
for it, on account of the poverty of the fund. But
there is a circumstance in the Master's report winch
ought not to be passed over, which is, that the pre-
sent precentor, whose diameter in every respect is
without a blemish, has not fur the la•t 30 heaps per-
formed the duties of the choir. 1 confirm the Mat-
ter's report, and let this be introduced, that the
precentor and the choral vicars are entitled to Ipar-
t■ke of the provision, tin condition that they per-
folios the ditties. There can be 111) reason fur their
exclusion."

Mr. Ross .g There was another question, my
Lord, as to the proportions those gentlemen are to
be entitled to."
