THE WENTHER.

Extract front a Meteorological Journal for September, 1824,
kept at the Observatory of the Academy (Dr. Bum En's),
Gosport, fluids : -
The greater part of this month has been wet, and the tempera-
ture of the air very variable. The difference between the
highest and lowest temperature for this period is forty-one de-
grees, which is an uncommon change at this season of the year,
when the days and nights are nearly equal, and was the cause
of calds, &e. The thermometer here on the 3d inst. rose to
79 deg. in the shade, which is the maximum heat fur the pre.
lent year; a circumstance that has not happened so late in the
summer by eleven days during the last ten years. At the be-
ginning of the month the heat is said to have been so oppres-
sive in the sun-shine, in some parts of the.country, as to de.
prive unimulr, at their ordinary wink, of life. The difference
between the' diurnal temperature of the 3d and 20th, was 20
degrees ; and we had hoar frosts early in the mornings of the
2t;th 28th, and 20th. •
The mean temperature of this month is at least one degree
and akar higher than the mean of September for mans. years
past, and two degrees and one-fifth higher than that of Sep-
tember, 1823. The temperature of spring water Is still In-
creasing, but it is only one-tenth of a degree higher than at
this time 1823.
This equinoctial gales up to the present time have not been
injurious in this quarter; they began on the 11 th and 12th,
and came on again more forcibly at the later part of the
month. •
A great number of swallows took their departure from this
neighbourhood on the 18th—prior to this day they had congre.
gated three weeks. This year they remained twenty-two weeks,
and were more numerous at their departure than they have

On Tuesday last, the Newcastle Grand Musical Festi-
val, which has been so much talked of in the northern
counties, commenced. The day before, a considerable hustle
was observable in the streets ; and, on Tuesday, gay, equipages
dashing along, and elegantly dressed females moving about,
rendered the town unusually lively. The number of strangers
was considerable, but not such us to overflow the ample supply
of lodgings which had been put in order for their reception.
The Committee of .Managers had spared no pains to engage the
first rate performers in the kingdom, both vocal and instru-
mental; but they were doomed to undergo some disappoint.
ment, by the illness of Mr. Saitio, Mrs. Bedford, and Signor De
Begnis, which latter event also kept away Signora Ronzi De
Begnis, his wife. Mr. Sapio was prevented, by an inflamma-
tion of the throat, from performing at Norwich, and is still
suffering in London from the same disease .11rs. Bedford
was seized with a dangerous fever, after her arrival here; and
a certificate was received on Monday, from Dr. Babbington.
that Signor De Bevis had a severe attack of opthalmia, and
could not safely undertake the journey. Under these circum-
stances, the kind aid of Mrs. Hammond was readily obtained ;
and MadameCatalani, Mrs. Salmon, Miss Stephens, and Mr.
Brehm, undertook to perform, in addition to their previously
allotted pieces, the principal parts of which had been assigned
to die absentees. This arrangement, of course, has abridged
the variety which the programme held out ; but, as the hub-
stitutes are all of the last in the. world to whom the proverb of
toujours perdrix could be applied, it is probable the effect has
been only to increase their labours, not to diminish the grati-
fication of the auditors. Sonic changes have been necessary
in the schemes of the Concerts in the Theatre, and also in the
Selections at the Church on Wednesday and yesterday, (in the
'church only few), but they were such as added to the !demure
of the hearers, the substituted pieces being sung con more.
The festival commenced on Tuesday evening, at the Theatre,
with a Grand Synfonia, by Haydn, well calculated to chew the
power and jadteious combination of the band. Mr. Bedford
opened the vocal performances with a recitative and air. from
Calcott, " Friend of the Brave," which he sang in lieu of an
air of Bishop's, which had beer allotted to Mrs. Bedford.
Misti Stephens and Mralrabant followed in a duet, by Hawes,
" Oh, Fortnne, we hail thee," which was rapturously encored.
Mrs. Salmon next sang the air, " My laxiging," with many
sweet variations, and seemed to have completely recovered from
the cold that prevented her performing one day at the Wake-
field ,Festival last week. After Mr. IVillman had gratified the
audience with an admirable Concerto on the Clarinet, Madame
Catalani accompanied on the Violin by Mr. Mori, the leader,
sing in leer usual grand style, a Cavatina and Polacca, by Cian-
ehettini, and received the tribute of a hearty encore, which was
justly merited; both by the voice and the instrument. Mr.
Brabant and Mrs. Hammond took the parts in Rossini's Ter-
zetto, " Crude Sorte," which had been allotted to Mr. Sapio
and Mrs. Bedford, and with Madame Catalani, aiZoraide,
left nothing to desire. Miss Stephens gave " Auld Robin
Gray," with her usual sweetness anti pathos. She afterwards
sang " Charlie is my darling," with equal effect. 111nd:tithe
Catalani astonished the audience, as usual, with Rode's Varia-
tions ; and with Mrs. Salmon, gave to Rossini's duetto " Nella
case," all its graces. Mr. Brehm was encored in the song
" Let us liege to Kelvin Grove." In the course of the even.
ing, Signor Vimercati astonished the audience with the sweet.
tiers and rapidity. of his execution on the Mandolin. The per-
formance closed with " God save the King," in full chorus—
the role parts by Madame Catalani, Mrs. Salmon, and Miss
Stephens. The lower boxes and pit were completely filled;
the gallery was nearly so; but there were seats unoccupied in
the upper boxes.
The Selection at the Church. on Wednesday morning, began
with the introduction to Handel's Dettingen 'l'e I)eum, the Solo
by Mr. Terrell, accompanied on the trumpet by Mr. Harper.—
Mr. Brabant and Mr. Phillips sang Dr. Boyce's duet, " Here
shall soft charity repair," in beatitiful harmony. Mr. Braham
took, in addition to !mown, all the parts allotted in the scheme
to Mr. Sapio, and excited general admiration in " Deeper and
deeper still" and " Waft her angels" from the Jepthah of
Handel ; in " Lord Remember David," from the Redemp-
tion, and in " Gentle Airs," from Athaliah, in which lie was
accompanied by Mr. Lindley on the violoncello, with such a
pleasing and astonishing effect, as induced a general wish for
the repetition of the air, which was readily complied with on an
intimation being privately given. Madame Catalani sang Ong-
air " Gratin Agimus," accompanied,on the clarinet
by Mr. Willman ; Handel's air, " Holy ! Holy ! Holy !"
from the Redemption, and, " Sing ye to the Lord," from Israel
in Egypt. Mrs. Salmon gave 4' The bright seraphim," ac-
companied on the trumpet by Mr. Harper, with greet effect,
'and also the air from Joshua " Hark ! tie the linnet and
the thrush." Miss Stephens was most affectingly pathetic
in " Ye sacred priests," and " Farewell ye limpid streams,
from Jepthith ; and piously devout in Handel's air, " What
though I trace," from 'Solomon. She also accompanied Mr.
Phillips in the duet, " Graceful Spouse." from the Creation.
Mozitrt'c Grand Chorus, arranged by Sir G. Smart, the con-
ductor, was given with much grandeur; and "the Choruses
in general were powerful and effective, though the num-
ber of singers was short of some recent performances of the
'stone kind elsewhere. The only change from the printed
scheme tbis day was in the substitution °fan air from Samson,
by Mr. Phillips, for an Italian Scene of Cameron, which had
been set down for Signora De Begnis. The church was es full
as ft could reasonably hold, and many gentlemen were obliged
to stand all the' time of the performances, which lasted from
half past eleven to four o'clock. The selections were chiefly
from Handel, and Haydn% Creation..
The second Concert at the Theatre on Wednesday evening
was more fully attended than even that of the preceding night,
and was equally distinguished far the assemblage of beauty and
fashion by the presence of which it was honoured. Owing to the
unavoidable absence of Mr. Sapio, &c., which we have already
adverted to above, the Committee were under the necessity of
nicking new arrangements and forming a new Scheme for the
Concert of that evening. The grand Sinfonia (Jupiter) of
Mozart was played by the band with great effect. The first
vocal performence that requires particular notice was the Air
Good night,' from Der Frietichutz, sung by Mr. Brahmin in a
most masterly and scientific manner—the tenderness which he
threw into the words ' Good night' was truly beautifuhand well
deserved the encore it receivtal. Miss Stephens was also en-
cored in Should he upbraid.' Mr. Mori's concerto on the
violin was, at once,.to the man of scientific knowledge a genuine
treat, and to the audience generally an agreeable relief from
the overwhelming beauty of the vocal performances. He
showed the most perfect command of the instrument,
,and dis-
played such a brilliancy, and such a rapidity.Of execution as

great i • but the plaintive and simple ballad is beyond her powers ;

On Thursday, the rain poured down in torrents all the 'fore-
noon, which probably prevented, the attendance et the church
from being ao great as on the former day, the number of the au.
dicers being estimated at about end-eighth-fewer: Mrs. Salainn.

allotted to. Mrs. Bedford and Mr. Sapid,
,end with the excep-
tion of 3 or 4 changes, the originel selections were performed"
to the high gratification' of the company. who express'ed Their
. approbation by intimating their wish in the usual manner,-for
a repetition of several of the pieces.- Among Oise were Ala-
dame Cataltini's " Angels ever bright‘ and fair;" " Pious
Orgies," by Miss Stephene; " From'inighty Kings,"' lir !Ors.
Salmon ; and Luther's 'llynin, by Mr. Braham. The selec-
tions for this day were from a great variety of composers, and
some of the instrumental parts were very fine—all' the per-
formers, front the organist downwards, having given thehighest
satisfaction and delight to the audience. •. •
The Ball at the Assembly Rooms on Thursday evening was
one of the most brilliant and numerous ever remenibered. The
total number was 653, including' their Graces the Dukeand
Duchess of Northumberland, Lord and Lady Barrington and
family, Lord Decies, the lion. Mr. Liddellt the Hon. Captain
Cochrane, Sir Al. Ridley, Bart., Sir J. lalwerd .Swinburne,
Bart., Lady and Miss Swinburne, Sir C. 111. L. 3lonek, Bart.,
Sir Charles Loraine, Bart., Sir Thonitis 'Burclon, Sir Robert

ham, the Archdeacon of Northumberland,- Cuthbert Ellison
Esq. 31.. P., Colonel O'Callaghan, M.P., 'Wm. Russell, Esq., 31. P., Rev. Dr. Gray and family, the Rev. Dr. Phillpotts tuid
fatuity, the Chevalier de Valabreque and Madanie Catalani,
Miss Stephens, Mr. and Mrs. Brawn, &c.. &c: The dresst a
on this occasion were very rich and splendid. The band wts
led by Mr. Litollf of London, and was the insist excellent ever
heard in the Room. Nothing but Quadrilles were danced.
The concluding performance at the Church, on Friday morn-
ing, was " The Messiah." It was quite an overflow, although
it was again a wet morning. The opening " Comfort ye," was
given by Mr. Brahant with sublime effect, as was also the
Rebuke. Catalani was in fine voice, anti charmed itocoedingly;
Mrs. Salmon and Miss Stephens :.lso acquitted themselves in
their usual style, albeit it may be observed, that the Messiah
does not efford much scope for the display of great poiers ; its
chief' excellence is in the chorus, which went off with admirable
effect. The lima Concert in the evening was decidedly the
best one ; it was more than an overflow. The Street wits nearly
blocked up, so great was the crowd assembled before the doors
prior to their being opened. A long string ofearriagea In wait-
ing was a novel sight. A grand sinfonia by Beethoven was the
opening piece, which, as well as the grand overture in the
Dtr Freisrhut4 and that of the 2414,0:f1ute, was performed
by the whole orchestra in a way that deservedly elicited the
most rapturous applause. Madame Catalani in the air of Di
tont; pulpit; was wand and rich; she never gave it perhaps
with greater brilliancy, or with more wonderful fancy. Miss
Stephens's Echo song was an effect of vocal illusion admirably,
fine. Miss Goodall sang " Bid me disc curse" in ml very cap-
tivating manner ; she was a great acquisition on Ilia last night,
She has a sweet clear voice, and perfect intonation. The beau-
tiful ballad of " The Winter, it is past,' was sung in the,
sweetest manner by Mr. Brabant. The Etho duett by Mr.
Brahein and Miss Stephens wax vit.), effective and pretty.—
Madame Catalani was in grand voice in " Se mai turbo ;"
but the finest thing of the night was Mrs. Salmon's " 0 dolce
concerto," with variations, and accompanied on the flute by
Nicholson ; it was a stream et' harmony, and ought to have
been encored. The quintetto of " Wted Instruments" was
fairly done. Brahlim's "Scots who ha'e" threw thunders of
applause, and a rapturous encore.
The Concerto of Lindley on the Violoncello was a wonder.
ful melange of familiar airs, and the most astonishing tone and
execution, Ile is certainly unique, and complete master of
that instrument. The national air of Bilk Britannia was the
announced finale. Catalani again gave it with all her force,
fire, grace, feeling and spirit; but it was more than equalled.
by graham's two last verses of " God save the King," which
he gave with the most commanding energy, and yet with the
strongest pathos. Altogether inch a performance wax never

INDIA.

A large portion Of.this day's paper is given to
details of the unfortunate war into which the
India Company have been forced, or induced,
with the Burmese. These people are not a con-
temptible enemy ; they are brave, and not un-
skilled, apparently, in some of the practices of
war. " A detachment of Company's troops at,
Ramoo received a rude lesson from them, being
completely beaten and put to flight, after several
days of partial movement and desultory action.
But what war would not be perilous to such an
empire as that of India ? And what is the war (in
a country held by such a tenure) of which the
dangers could be previously and accurately mea-
sured ? All India is under the feet of its masters
one great shaking bog : the agitation of any given
spot upon the surface is felt to its remotest extre-
mity. Are we sure that the Burmese will have no
native allies ?—that they have at this moment no
foreign instigators.? How came they by muskets

tions, I determined upon remaining in harbour one day longer.
On the following morning (the sth) we finally put to sea, de-
taching a part of my force, under Brigadier M'Creagli, against
the island of Cheduba, and sending another detachment under
Major Wahab, of the Madras Establishment, against the island
of N!wais (each of the force in ships and troops stated in the
margin), proceeding myself with the main body for the Ran.
goon river, which we reached on the 10th, and anchored within
the bar. On the following morning, every arrangement hav-
ing been previously made, she fleet, led by the Liffey, sailed up
the river, followed by the transports in the order I wished to
employ the troops in the attack upon Rangoon ; and in the
course of a few hours arrivjd offthe town, receiving on our pas-
sage .up some insignificant discharges of artillery from one or

cent villages. Agreeably to my instructions, I landed the
troops at a small village about a mile from Killyumdine, where
I observed a party of the enemy had stockade(' themselves ;
and immediately attacked their position, which I carried after
exchanging a few rounds, and killing ten or twelve of the ene-
my. I endeavoured to penetrate the jungle towards the
village of Killyumdite, for the purpose of assailing it by the
rear, while the boats attacked it in front; but T regret to say,
that I found the jungles so impervious as to prevent me from ,
executing that part of my instructions.
" I therefore Immediately re-embarked my detachment and
proceeded to the coast. On approaching a point higher up.
Intending to land, we found ourselves suddenly exposed to a
heavy fire from a stockade, till then unobserved ; and as any
attempt to retire would have exposed the detachments to certain
destruction, and would have given encouragement to the enemy,
which I felt convinced you would have highly disapproved of,
Lieutenant Wilkinson, 11. N.,"and myself resolved-upon im-
mediately landing and storming the stockade. We had many
unforseen difficulties to overcome, the enemy having placed
bamboos and pikes so as to make landing both difficult and
dangerous. Nothing, however, could withstand the gallantry
and determination of both diers and sailors, who shortly
established themselves within the stockade, defended by about
four hundred men, who were quickly driven out at the point
of the bayonet, leaving sixty dead. The enemy were well
armed, a great proportion having muskets ; and a small field-
piece was taken in the stockade ; and I must do them the
justice to say, that they fought with very great spirit,
many of them receiving our charge with their spears. I
again re-embarked my party, and proceeded to the opposite
side of the river, where we drove the enemy from a third stock-
ade, which we destroyed, in the same manner as we had done
the two former. In concluding, I regret to state, that Lieu-
tenant Thomas Kerr, of his Majesty's 38th regiment, and one
private, was killed, and nine privates wounded, in taking the
second stockade; and I have further to regret, that Lieutenant
Wilkinson, of the Royal Navy, was Severely wounded through
the thigh, with eight or nine of his crew, one of which has had
his arm subsequently amputated. I have much satisfaction in
reporting the conduct of the officers and men under my com-
mand to have been steady and soldier-like. I hope I may be
allowed to express the highest admiration of the cool and in-
trepid conduct of Lieutenant Wilkinson, R.N., who, although
severely wounded, continued to render me the greatest assist-
ance, in giving directions from his boat ; also of the officers and
men under his command. I have, &c.

" Commodore (ham anchored the Liffey immediately oppo-
site the King's Wharf, where we had observed a battery of
apparently, from 12 to 16 guns, manned and ready to open its
fire. Still, from motives of humanity, the Commodore and
myself were unwilling to commence so unequal a contest, think-
ing the immense superiority on our side, within full view of
the shore, would have induced the authorities in town to make
an offer ofi negotiating; their presumption and folly, however,
led them to pursue a different course. A feeble; ill supported,
and worse directed tire was opened upon us, which the first few
guns from. the Liffey effectually silenced, -and cleared the bat-
tery : the Commodore consequently directed his fire to cease.
I had previously ordered the plan of attack, and now gave di-
rections for two brigades to be in readiness in their boats for
landing; his Majesty's 38th regiment,-commanded by Major
Evans, above the town ; Major Sale, with his Majesty's 13th
Light Infantry, at the centre, to make a lodgment in the main
battery, should lie be unable to force the gate of the stockade,
and a brigade of the Madras division below the town, under the
direction of Brigadier-General M'Llean ; the 38th and this bri-
gade being ordered to push round by the rear and enter the
town, should they find an opportunity of so doing.
"'These measures in progress, the Burmese again returned
to their battery and commenced tiring, which was again silenc-
ed.by a broadside from 'the Liffey, and the signal being made
for the troops to Land in the order already. stated, which they
did in the most regular and soldier-like style, and in less than
twenty minutes I had the satisfaction seeing the British flag
flying in the town, without' the troops having had occasion to
discharge a single musket, and without my having occasion to
regret the loss of one individual %Med or wounded on our side,
nor do I believe that of the 'enemy,' from their rapid flight,
could have been great; of the latter killed, only eight or- ten
were left behind.

TAKING OF CHEDUBA:
(From the Bombay Courier of June 19.)

" The news of our arrival in the river baying reached Rangoon
the preceding night, and our rapid progress up in the morning
being marked by an occasional shot in answer to the fire from the
ekokies, together with the preparations of, the Burmese Autho-
rities for defence, threw the inhatitants into such a state of
consternation as to cause a general flight in every direction to.
wards the jungles—so much so, that out of a large population.
I do not think one hundred men were found in the town on our
taking possession of it. , '
" The members of Government fled at the first shot, carry-
ing with them seven out of eleven Europeans, whom they had
ordered to be imprisoned and put in Irons. On our arrival, in
their hurry, three were left in the King's Godown, whose irons
were filed off by the troops on.entering the town. When we were
actually in possession of the town, Mr. !lough, an American mis-
sionary,. released from irons for the purpose, accompanied by a
Burmese, came on board the -Lifey, delegated by the Ita'woon,
and other members of Government • (then some miles oft in the
jungle), to entreat the firing might cease • and to ask what
terms would be given to them, hinting dint they had seven
Englishmen out with them in irons, whose . fate would proba-
bly depend upon the answer they received. The Commodore
and myself told, them, that it was too late to ask for terms, as
the place was then in our possession : protection to persons and
property was all they had to expect, and even that promise
would not be confirmed to them, until the prisoners were re-
leased and given up to us—warning them, that, if they dared
to injure them, or put one of them to death, fire and *word
should revenge the atrocious deed over the whole face of their
country. The messengers left us, promising to return as soon
as possible, but neither the Itaywoon or his adherents could
again be found, fear having driven them still farther into the
country. ‘Ve remained in great anxiety for the fate of our
countrymen during the night, but early next morning, in push-
ing forward some reconnoitring parties, the whole seven were
found safe in different places of confineirent, strongly fettered,
their guards having fled at our approach : a nominal list of
these gentlemen I beg herewith to transmit.

" -The only addition that we can make to the interesting in-
telligence from Rangoon, published in our Extra of last night,
is extracted from a private letter received yesterday from an
officer with the expedition. It mentions that the Island of Che-
duba had 'been taken by the force sent against it from Fort Corn-
wallis, consisting of his Majesty's ship Stanch and the Hon.
Company's Cruiser Mercury, with the Bengal 3larine Regiment
of Native Infantry; but no particulars are stated.

considerable extent was destroyed, but we are happy to add
that no liVes were lost. _ .

EXTRACT OF A DISPATCH irROM BRICADIEK-GENERAL
SIR ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, liar ut) :star 19, 1024.
" Information having been received that five rafts were con-
structing and war-boats collecting at no great distance up the
river, Commodore Grant sonic days ago sent the boats of his
ship, under Lieutenant Wilkinson, of the Liffey, for the pur-
pose of reconnoitring. They fell in with and destroyed one boat
(the crew escaping), having seen several others, which effected
their escape. Our boats had two seamen wounded by mus-
ketry from the shore. On the evening of the 14th, it was
thought further advisable that the river should be explored
considerably higher up, and' for this purpose Lieutenant 1i 11-
kinsen, with the boats of the Liffey, accompanied hy 40 rank
and tile of his Majesty's 41st Regiment, under Lieutenant
M'Lean, went about eighteen miles up, receiving a smart fire
of musketry from the villages on either bunk, both in going
and returning. At one place in particular the enemy as-
sembled considerable forte, but were speedily disperse(' by the
fire from .the boats,: on which occasion Lieutenant Wilkin-
son expressed himself in terms of high admiration of the de-
termined gallantry and coolness of the party of his MajestYs
41st Regiment. They had three rank and tile wounded.
" A work having been observed in preparation at the village
of Kemmedine, only 4 miles distant from the shipping, which,
if allo feed to be completed, might prove a very serious annoy-
ance, the Commodore and I determined upon destroying it ;
for which purpose a sufficient number- of 'boats were ordered
ftom the fleet, under thearommand ofkitut.' Wilkinson, and I
ordered the grenadier company of his Mitiesty's :18th regiment,
under Captain Birch, to be embarked on board of them. The
whole. were in readiness, and sailed a little before daylight on
the morning of the Iflth. •
" Herewith 1 beg leave 'to enclose Captain Birch's report of
the result, whichleaves me to regret the loss of 'a valuable
officer, Lieut. Kerr, of the 38th regiment, who, with one rank
and file, was killed, and 9 wounded. On the part of the navy,

" The spirited decision of Captain Birch and Lieut. Wain-

PAats, OCT. 9.—lt is not true, as a Journal
states to-day, we know not on what authority,
that the pay .of the corps of the unity has been
increased. It is not easy to understand with
what view such a piece of news could be pub•
lished, without first endeavouring to ascertain its
truth.

People were justly surprised at the absence of
the Clergy when the body of the late King was
'removed on the e3d Sept. from Paris to St. Donis.
Every body spOke of it according to his own no.
Along ; and the 4110tiVOS of it have been ascribed
to circumstances wholly foreign to the occasiou.
It is not the first instance of such judgments,
founded on ignorance or prepossession; One
word will suffice to put an end to the reports that'
may have been .circulated on the subject. We
have informed ourselves of the real cm:se of the
absence of the Clergy : it was nothing buts mis-
-take in the regulation of the proces►ion, and in.
the sending of the invitations; this mistake (mai
~eniendts) was the cause that the notice given for
the,attendance of the Clergy did not reach the.
Archbishop. 'The Clergy of Paris could not take
a :place in the procession without being stlUl.
lnoned, and it .they had been,,khey assuredly
:Would not 'have 'failed to perform so sacred a
:duty.
A vessel which sailed from Mitylene on the

advantages obtained by the Greek in the channel

intervention to put

seeing, on the contrary, that if one of these
Powers intervenes at this moment, it is in a man-
ner that is threatening, and even hostile to that
unfortunate Christian nation, which is endea-
vouring to throw air the yoke of the barbarous
followers of Mahornet ! It will be recollected-
that the Greek Government, justly incensed that
European Captains had freighted their vessels to
•
the Turks for the conveyance of their troops, to
contempt of the principles of neutrality, ordered
the commanders of its fleets to destroy these un-
worthy Christians, who could not be considered

in any other light than as rersegadoes and pira
