MISCELLANEOUS.

Letters dated the 9.lst ult. were received yes-
terday from Passages, a small village on the
toast of Spain, closely adjoining to St. Sebastian's.
No official accounts appear to have been circu-
lated there of the result of the celebrated sortie
of the 9th ; but the letters state that the Spa-
niards behaved in the noblest manner, and
that the loss of the French in killed and
Wounded is supposed on that occasion to have
been bet Ween 700 and 800 men. It is added,
that subsequently to the 9th three other sorties
had been made by the garrison, in which,
though compelled to retire within the fort, the
Spanish troops greatly distinguished themselves.
Of these, it should be observed, no notice has
appeared in the French papers. The number of
the gartison at St. Sebastian's amounted to 3,000
men, and they were supplied with provisions for
five months. The French army, it is said, on
first entering Spain, had rendered themselves ex-
tremely obnoxious to the inhabitants by cutting
down the apple-trees for fuel, with which the coun-
try near the coast abounds ; but had afterwards
established better discipline, and paid liberally
for every article requisite for the consumption of
the army.

Letters from Valparaiso of the 12th of January
state, that Lord COCHRANE was to sail from
thence Oil the following day for Rio Janeiro, in
order to assume the command of the Brazilian
Navy. The offers made to his Lordship by the
Government to induce him to fill this station in
their naval service are said to have been of a
highly liberal nature. A negociation for a simi-
lar purpose was entered into some months back,
but the proposals then made to his Lordship
were not sufficiently attractive to obtain his ac-
ceptance.

MALTA, MARCH 28.—The Greeks are getting
ou famously. They seem confident of success
against the Turks, if neither are assisted.
LORD WILLIAsi Gorinox.—We regret to state
that his Lordship died yesterday morning, at his
of residence in the Green Park, of which he
"as Deputy Ranger. Lord WILLIAM was a
Gentleman of much classical taste, and was re-
spected and esteemed by all his acquaintance.
Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE
visited the Duchess of KENT, at the KING'S
Palace at Kensington.
NEW MUSICAL FUND.—We have to state, with
great pleasure, that the Annual Concert for this
laudable Institution, which took place last night
at the King's Theatre, was attended by a very
numerous audience. The Pit was filled at an
early hour, and also the place assigned to the
Orchestra on Opera nights. The Gallery also
was crowded to excess, and very few of the
Poxes appeared without visitors. The Orchestra
was erected on the Stage, and was abundantly
supplied with the best instrumental performers.
There was also a very numerous train of chorus
singers,male and female. The Band was led bylVlr.
V. CRAMER, and the whole was under the conduct
of Sir Geottot SMART. It was indeed manifest that
.the Society and their Treasurer, Mr. KENDRICK,
had exerted themselves to the utmost to render
the entertainment as gratifying to the external
tenses as to the feelings of Benevolence. The
"hole was the triumph of talents and humanity.
Miss PAToN was' prevented from performing by
W' hess and CAMPORESE kindly took her place.
"autAst BELLAMY Miss TREE, Miss GOODALL,
CARADORI Miss STEPHENS, and Signor and Sig-
nora RoNzi DE BEGNIS severally exerted them-
selves with great effect. MOCHELLES gave a concerto
on the piano forte with admirable skill. A new
Performer on the violin, Mr. G auNn, from Ger-
:au)", displayed such talents as will soon bring
"" into general notice. LI N DLEY and his son gave
II duet on the violiucello, and by the natural so-
licitude of the fattier, and the anxiety of the son
toi deserve parental approbation, excited feelings
beyond those resulting from the excellence of
Ithrir performance. One verse of "God save the
Ing " was given, and the audience stood with re-
;Peetful loyalty. NICHOLSON with his admirable
'Lae accompanied Miss STEPHENS in" Sweet Bird,"
and this harmonic treat was one of the most deli-
cious of the evening. The duet between Signor
Signore BEGNIS was very entertaining, and
as highly applauded. We wish we had more
"00111 to testify the merits of the evening, which
