SACRED MUSIC AT ST. BRIDE'S CHURCII.—Last
night, a grand selection of sacred music was performed on the
organ of the above Church by Mr. MATHER, the organist, to
a numerous and respectable assemblage. The selection con-
sisted of the Overture to Saul, and several other compositions
by Handel ; Haydn's " Gloria in excelsi4 ;" Mozart's " Bene-
dictus" and illotett ; Arne's Hymn of Eve ; an Extempore
Fantasia, &c. The performance commenced at seven o'clock,
and concluded at a quarter past nine. It is unnecessary to
particularize any of the pieces, which were all executed with
great precision and taste. In the Extempore Fantasia the per-
former evinced his skill in composition, and displayed a perfect
knowledge of the instrument. The whole selection atrorded much
gratification to the auditory, who were only prevented by the
sanctity of the place from expressing the satisfaction they ex-
perienced.

fer on me ; and believe me, with sincerity, Sir, your honoured

shopkeepers, under the impression that a riot will take place,
have closed their doors and shops, and the Castle is also closed.--
A Mr. Wheeler, belonging to a Society in London for the

Royal highness the_Duke of Gloucester intended being pre.
