SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY._Judas
Mac-
cabeta, one of Handel's finest sacred oratorios, Was re-
peated yesterday at Exeter-hall. As usual, there
Were more than 500 persons in the orchestra, and an
audience of as many thousands in the Hall. The at-
tractions offered by these concerts to the real lovers of
sterling music are undiminished, notwithstanding their
frequent occurrence. On the contrary, they appear to
g.r°v• with time and increase by repetition, a proof, if any
were wanted, that a capacity to understand and appre-
ciate the highest range of music is very general on the
Part of the middling and respectable classes. The way
4 Which Handel's choruses are performed by this So.
c'etY is beyond all praise. The perfection of which we
°Peak must have been the result of a vast deal of per-
severance and patience on the part of those who have
given their professional attention to the labour of con-
rolling and teaching. They have their reward ; for a
finer chorus than the one belonging to this Society is not
tt,,e°be found in Europe. The oratorio terminated with
" Hallelujah, Amen" chorus, a most magnificent
r..position, the performance of which electrified the
Tlence. Much credit is due to all the persons en-
gaged in the production and continuance of these con-
the tB.
They are a national credit, and as such deserve
I.tnbounded support they meet.

RIOTS AT NEWPORT.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)
NEWPORT, WEDNESDAY.

I am happy to state that the fears so generally enter-
tained of another attack in the course of last night have
not been realized. There is no doubt, however, from
the testimony of various persons, that there were large
assemblages of the miners and colliers on the hills ; but
it is supposed that they must have gained information
from their scouts of the arrival of the detachment of
the 10th Hussars, under the command of Major Smith,
of the Bristol staff, and Lieutenant Cavendish (nephew
of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire), who continued
to parade the streets for several hours last night. A
suspicious-looking character, who is supposed to have
been acting as a spy for the Chartists, was last night
brought before the Magistrates, he having been found
prowling about the hotel, and from his not being able
to give any satisfactory account of himself, merely stating
that he came from Merthyr to look for work as a tailor,
he was ordered to be locked up for the night. The
vigilance and activity of the magistrates, and the arrival
here to-day of a further reinforcement of troops, a de-
tachment of Lancers, who have come from London by
forced marches, have already succeeded to a very great
extent in restoring the confidence of the inhabitants.
Still the general feeling is that it will be necessary that
a considerable body of military should be stationed in
this district for some time. When Frost and Waters:
were addressed by Mr. Blewitt on their being committed,
Frost said that he had nothing to urge why he should
not be committed. He intended to make a defence at
the proper time, and requested that he might be fur-
nished with pens, ink, and paper. Mr. Blewitt replied
that the orders of the visiting magistrates must be com-
plied with in those matters.
It is gratifying to learn that the destruction of pro-
perty was confined to the Westgate Hotel, which was
the first and only building attacked—thanks to the
gallant conduct of the small band of the 45th. Pre-
vious to the commencement of the examination by the
magistrates this morning, I busied myself in making
inquiries as to the state of the unfortunate per-
sons who had been wounded, in endeavouring to
ascertain how many of the dead bodies had
been identified, and such other particulars as would
1:e likely to possess any interest. Thomas Phillips, Esq.,
the Mayor, I am sorry to say, has passed a bad night,
still it is to be hoped that a fow days will bring a favour-
able turn. Mr. Walters, a respectable innkeeper, was
also most dangerously wounded by the rioters, and lies
in a very precarious state. Mr. Walton; was despatched
on Sunday night by the Mayor, on a spirited horse, to
reconnoitre the rioters, but they intercepted him on his
returned, and endeavoured, by tying cords across the
road, to throw his horse ; in this they were not success-
ful, but they attacked him in the most cowardly man-
ner with their spears, and inflicted a deadly wound in
his thigh. Mr. Williams, ironmonger, and Mr. Mor-
gan, draper, were very badly wounded ; the former re-
ceived a gun-shot wound in the head, a cut across the
knee of about four inches long, and a stab in the side
from a pike ; but Mr. Williams is receiving the best
surgical attendance, and it is hoped he will recover.
Mr. Morgan was wounded in the integuments by a pis-
tol-hall, which has since been extracted, and he is sow
doing well. Several others have received severe con-
tusions on the head from their clubs. Sergeant Daly
is recovering from his wound, as also the private of the
45th. It is exceedingly creditable to the working peo-
ple of Newport that they abstained generally from
taking part in the affray, or joining the Chartists. Out
of the twenty-two bodies which have up to this time
been discovered, hot one has been identified as belonging
to Newport. All who arc yet known are the following :
Shill, carpenter, of Pont-y-pool, a lad about nineteen,
who was the first to introduce Chartism into that town ;
Isaac Thomas, of Nant-y-glo ; William Griffiths, of
Merthyr; and Evans, of Tredegar, miners, and a
deserter from the 29th, who were recently stationed in
Newport. From all the information I can collect, lam
inclined to hope that the piece of the other towns men-
tioned will not now be disturbed. At Pont-y-pool, Bre-
con, Merthyr, and their neighbourhoods, many of the
deluded men, as well as those who were forced against
their own consent by the more turbulent and determined
to join the insurgents, have returned to their work ; and
they,as well as the poorvrretches now under the care of the
medical gentlemen of Newport, strongly declare that they
never should have thought of entering on their desperate
enterprise but for the constant persuasion and delusive
representations of Frost. The system of lawless bri-,
gandism which this would-be despot had to a consider-
able extent established "on the hills," was truly alarm-
ing. The following case is one specimen, of which it is
reported many similar occurred in the course of the
week preceding the actual outbreak. It was sworn to
after I had despatched my express last night, by Mr.
Watkins, a Pont-y-pool' carrier, viz., that. he ( Mr.
Watkins) and Mr. Brugh were going in a gig on Sun-
day night to Pont-y-pool, when the were stopped be-
tween Cross-y-ceily and the Hollybush by a number of
armed men, who compelled them to accompany their
party to the Machine near Newport, where they were
put up stairs and guarded till about three o'clock in the
morning. The party were then marched off to the Oak
beer-house, near Risca, where Mr. Frost being sent for
and knowing Mr. Brugb, discharged them, remarking
that he hated his politics and all him -set, but he should
release them for private reasons; I have also learnt that
such was the tyranny exercised by these desperadoes, that
it has been discovered that a party of them absolutely
murdered, in cold blood, two unfortunate, but
better disposed men, who refused to follow them in
their desperate undertaking. From the whole appear-
ance I have no doubt but that the chief instigator and
prime mover, the very heart and soul, indeed, of this
mad scheme, Frost, never for a moment doubted the
success of his scheme, as he was rot in any respect
prepared for the consequences of defeat, not the least
precaution having been taken for his own personal safety
or that of his misguided followers. His plan was to
make the Magistrates prisoners, to take possession of
the principal hotel and to become masters of the town,
and eventually of the whole of South Wales ; then it
was thought the Chartists would rise in the north and
follow their example, as both Frost and Vincent have
been heard many times to declare in their speeches,
that if the Chartists could hold possession of a single
town for a week, the Charter would become the " law
of the land." This is, in fact, a physical force attempt
to carry the Charter. I sincerely trust its failure in
this case will prove a salutary warning to all adventurers
who rely only on appeals to the worst passions of
human nature.

'rhe Magistrates recommenced the investigation of
the charges for high treason this morning.
The first prisoner brought up was James Aust, a
master gardener, of Carleon.
Mr. Blewitt resumed the arduous duty of conduct-
ing the examinations.
The first witness called was John Richards, who
stated that he was a cordwaiuer, residing at Carlcon.
Has known the prisoner James Aust, at Carleon, three
years. Saw him about nine or ten o'clock on Monday
morning last at Part-y-pile, where the witness was at
work, with about thirty more. The prisoner was
armed with a gun. Two of the party came into the
shop, and pressed witness and two others in the shop.
The said, " lads come along with us." They asked for
what purpose. The prisoner and his companions re-
plied " come along with us and you shall see." As
they were armed, witness and his shop-mates were
afraid, and all three went out with them the
witness, John Dallimore, and another whose Chris-
tian name was George. Some of the party then
went to witness's master's house, and took away a
gun from up stairs, saying they would return it
again by and by at night. There were two leaders who
carried axes. :Aust and the rest then went through the
Cominon into the Pont-y-pool and Newport-road, where
there were a great many people, most of them armed
with sticks. All then marched together a great way.
Came to a lane where were a great many more. Heard
the people say there was a shooting in Newport. The
two leaders then said, " fellow us," and went up the
lane. James Aust came as far as Mr. Corder's gar-
dener's house. He went in there, and some of the
leaders missed him, and inquired of each other where he
was. Some in the crowd said he is gone into the gar-
dener's. They then proceeded to the turnpike house
and searched for him, but could not find him. He (the
witness) tried to make his escape, but was prevented.
When they reached the house the colliers made a stand,
and on the first opportunity witness and his shopmates
escaped, arriving home about one o'clock.
The prisoner said he had no question to put to the
witness : what he had stated was qu:te true,
John Dallimore entirely confirmed the statement of
the preceding witness, and, in addition, said he saw
Aust load his gun, and a man stood by with a bag-full
of bullets, and also powder—he dared to say a pound.
John Matthews stated that he was a gardener in the
employ of Thomas Protheroe, Esq. Had known Aust
