MUSIC.

We Lave r.•eeived from Messrs. Mori and Laitrertee a
Soniz, entitled " The Sea Maiden's Song," the words talittr
from the Olio, and the Melody, which is exceedingly
pleasing, by Miss M. A. Dudley—a young lady of great
musical prorrige. We can safely recommend the song to
our fair readers.

Saturday being the 16th anniversary of' the
memorable battle of Waterloo, the Ist Regiment, or Gre- i
nadier Guardr, had a bunch of laurel on their colours
when tii6y Mal-tilted on parade, as also the standards of
the relieving guard of the Life Civards. Of all the chiefs
who were at that battle the Duke of Wxt.t.lstutost is the
only one now living. There are at present in the British
army, on full pay, 286 staff officers who partook of the
let'rels with his Grace, viz., three Generals (the Prince of
C3RANGEi the Martinis of ANGLESEA, and Lord HILL,
the present Commander of the Forces), 14 Lieutenant-
Generals, 29 Major-Generals, 4Y Colonels, 190 Lieute-
nant-Colonels, and 117 Majors ; the number of °Male
under that of Major is comparatively small. All those
soldiers who were at the engagement were exempted from
didng duty on Saturday, and received one day's extra py
macaw Oticaslott,
We 'have- it from undoubted authority that an
amendrisent will be certainly Moved in the HoUse of Lords
to the Address consequent on the KING'S Speech. Lord
MANSFIELD is said to be the Noble Lord selected for the
occasion. Well, be it so, if the Anti-Reformers will so
have it ; but It would have been more prudent, on their
part at least, to have waived their opposition until the
Reform Bill had come fairly before them. A contest be-
tween the KING and the House of Commons and the
pe' ple, on the one hand, and the House of Peers on the
other, appears to us to be pregnant • with danger to the
best interests of the Stat&:-.4forning Advertiser.
A malicious and, we trust, an unfounded
report is prevalent in the political circles, to the effect
that Lord GREY is by no means so enthusiastic in behalf
of the devoted Poles, or so anxious to promote their na•
tional independence, as the ptildie might have been justly
led to expect, both from the opinions expressed by his
Lordship in former times, when the Poles had fewer
claims to protection, and from the enthusiasm of the Bri-
tish—we might almost say the European—public in their
behalf. We would fain hope that there is no truth in this
matter, and that his Lordship will be found as staunch in
the cause of the patriotic Roles as he has shown himself
to be in that of Reform. However, it is certain that
not many days will elapse before he will, and, we think,
very properly, he questhitted on the subject in the House
of Peers.—Morning Advertiser.
The absence of Lord LEITRIM in Ireland
was the reason of his name being omitted in the list of
new Peers, it not being known what title he may wish to
assume. His promotion will probably appear in the next
Gazette.
EARL OF DONOUGHMORE.--We are happy
to tio4, by letters received in this ci y, this venerated Noble-
man is considerably better.—Limerick Chronicle.
A correspondent assures us, that at the
meeting of the Ultra Tories at Lord MAlrsriatn's, on
Friday, and by adjournment at the Marquis of Lownosr-
DERRY'S, there were warm discussions, and much differ-
ence of opinion. The result, however, was a determi-
nation to fight it out at all hazards.
The produce of the sale at the Bazaar, Ha-
nover-square Rooms, under the patronage of her Mar ESF.Y
and the principal female Nobility, for the relief of the
famishing 'Mai,. on Monday and Tuesday, was 3,500/.,
300/. of which was received at the doors for admission.

It gives us great pleasure to announce, dial
the sum of 3201. was yesterday collected at the Nationa
Scotch Church, Brunswick-square, for the relief of the
Irish peasantry, after exhortations to charity by the Rev.
EDWARD IRVING. Such a liberal contribution deserves
notice, and challenges imitation.
A correspondent informs us, that young
Auvrix, who some years back was.well known to the
public in connexion with the inquiry relative to the late
QUEEN, is at this moment quite insane, and under con-
finement in a mad-house near Milan.
The scarcity of business in. Westminster-Hall
is felt most severely by the junior Barristers, it being no
uncommon thing to see King's Counsel holding second
briefs and opening cases—a labour in Which stuff gowns
only used to be employed.
BENEFITS.— As these events are of mo-
mentous impertance to all those who have the courage or
confidence to venture on a "'night," it may not be amiss
to state, that the aid of those foreign awl domestic auxilia-
ries who have " kindly offered their valuable service•"
upon these occasions, have not been so friendly or so
cheaply purchased as the public might be led to suppose.
For instance, Madame PASTA, we are informed, has re-
ceived twenty guineas for 'each song ! And, moreover,
should it so happen that her arrival occurs during
the middle of an act, down comes the curtain,
whether she be reqUired elsewhere or not. Mr.
Bit/malt, whose modesty is a little more commend -
abb., has tugged at ten guineas a night ; and for per-
forming • Master Hawthorn on Miss INvarta arry's
night, is to have twenty-five guineas ! But these are mere
bagatelle. compared with the pretensions of Madame TAG-
morn, who figured at Mr. Aesorr's benefit (?), on Friday
evening, for which, it is said, she received for the trouble
of kicking her 'heels for a few minutes, the.trifling con-
sideration of one hundred guineas! ! ! It might Ie a
question for the curious to solve the value of each
