Letters have been received in town from the

THE PRINCE OF CAPUA —We understand
that the mission of Chevalier Versuce from Naples to
London is intended to negotiate a reconciliation be-
tween the King of the two Sicilies and his brother the
Prince Charles of Capua. It is believed that the
King has consented to advance 40,000 ducats to pay
his brother's debts. It is said that his wife (the late
Miss Penelope Smith) is to have the tide of Duchess
of Villalta.—Cologne Gazelle.
SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER
HALL—This Society afforded its friends and patrons
a great and appropriate treat last night by the perform-
ance of Handel's oratorio The Messiah. It is almost
needless to state that the large room was crowded to
excess, and the audience gave repeated and unequi-
vocal testimony of their delight. Madame F. Lablache
and Miss Birch, Mr. H. Phillips, and Mr. Bennett,
were the principal vocal performers, and they executed
the sublime music entrusted to them in a style worthy
oven of the great composer himself. A very strong de-
sire was manifested by a large majority of the persons
for the repetition of the famous chorus, " For unto us
a child ;" but the members of the Society exhibited a
proper degree of firmness in adhering to their rules, and
persisting in their refusal to comply with the vehement
and ill•timed call for an encore.
An expedition under the orders of Captain Trot-
ter, R,N., in which three iron steamers are to be en-
gaged, is, we understand, about to be fitted out, to pro-

plore further. Captain Trotter had an interview with
the Colonial Secretary on Thursday.
The Bishop of Norwich has presented the Bible,
upon which her Majesty Queen Victoria took the oaths
at her coronation, to the Dean and Chapter of Nor-
wich Cathedral, which has been placed in the centre
of the choir upon the superb brass eagle, which, after
being laid aside for many years, has been beautifully re-
paired and ornamented to receive his Lordship's valu-
able present.
CHATSWORTH CONSERVATORY.—The flat-
tened crown glass which has been used for roofing this
noble conservatory is, it is stated, likely to come into
general use. It is equally clear as crown glass, much
stronger, and very little dearer.—Derby Reporter,
InPORTANT PUBLIC MEETING IN DUNDEE.
—On the evening of Friday last, the 6th current, a
public meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held
in the Watt Institution Hall, for the purpose of orga-
nizing the trades into one grand whole, and also for the
no less important purpose of memorializing her Majesty
in behalf of Mr. Frost and the rest of the unfortunate
individuals charged with the crime of high treason and
sedition. On the motion of Mr. Fulton, Mr. George
Adam was unanimously called to the Chair. The
Chairman opened the business by reading the hand-bill
calling the meeting. He stated th

effective the exertions of the Chartists in this part of
the empire. He (the Chairman) was happy to s'3'
that as the greater 1344 of the trades were already
organized, and that the bad feeling which had hereto-
fore existad, and which had been so detrimental to
Chartism in this town, would entirely cease, that
harmony and concord would in future mark their pro-
ceedings.—(Cheers.) After a number of judicious
observations from Mr. John Lowe, the memorial was
unanimously agreed to ; and, on a vote of thanks being
given to the Chairman, the meeting dissolved.---.Svois
