NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. s.—The Flying Fish, 12, Com-
mander G. Vatey, after being paid advance, sailed
yesterday morning for the coast of Africa, with the mails.
The Camel, lighter, arrived on Monday with stores
from Pembroke Dockyard.
The Confiance, steamer, towed the Ringdove sloop to-
day up the Hamoaze, from the River Yealm, where she
had lain as a temporary residence for the inhabitants of
the little fishing village of Ness during the prevalence of
cholera there, but whore she is no longer wanted.
The Niobe, 28, gun-ship, will be launched in this dock-
yard on the 18th inst.
In consequence of the prevalence of cholera at Caw-
sand, it is said that an application will be made to the
authorities of the dockyard for a vessel to be fitted up as
a temporary place of accommodation to the inhabitants
of that distressed place. It is most probable that a small
frigate will be sent instead of a sloop, as the accommo-
dations iu the former are much greater.
The Daedalus, 20, Captain G. Wellesley, still remains
at her moorings off the jetty, ready for sea, waiting for
the captain, who is engaged as one of the members of the
court-martial on Commander Pitman,
The Alarm, 26, has nearly completed rigging, and will
be ready to proceed to sea shortly.
Woomviell, SEPT. s.—The Albion steam-vessel went
down the river to Sheerness, where she is to remain
ready fur commission. The African steam-vessel accom-
panied her, and returned to Woolwich in the evening.
The Archer steam-sloop was taken out of the basin
yesterday, preparatory t) being tried down the river
after completing taking on board the requisite quantity
of ballast. It is expected the trial vtill take place in the
early part of next week.

WOOLWICH, SLPT. s.—Most of the recent cases of
cholera here have been trampers, who have been much
on the river. A dead horse, which had been floating
e...out in the river for upwards of ten days, in a state of
decomposition. became entangled in the wheels of the
Retribution steam-vesiel, and ruinained there during the
whole of the ebb tide, without Mr. Roberts, who died
subsequently of cholera. knowing that such was the
case. The carcass floated up opposite Greenwich, and
the cases of cholera reported on board several billy-boys,
as be attribueed to that nue.

What is your grief, weary one, whose deep sigh
forms a bitter comment on our words ? It needs not
the pen in thy hand, or the pallor of thy cheek, to
tell us thou art a votary of the muse ; we read it long
since in the joyous depths of thy spiritual eyes—
yes, joyous notwithstanding the sighs which rend thy
breast. What is thy grief ? Thou art solitary and
unknown ; fame has never whispered a syllable of thy
name ; love has never thrown her glorious shadow
upon thy path. " I must write," sayst thou, " I
must write, even though (as poor Keats said) my
unread verses were destroyed as soon as written."
Yes, thou must write; the spirit is in thee, and will
come out. And dost thou think that we will pity
thee? 'Thou art indeed mistaken; thy lot is rather
an object of envy. Hest thou forgotten the oasis of
thy wilderness. Say, wouldst thou relinquish those
hours of ecstacy when the ideal would reveal itself to
thy enraptured sight, where high thoughts and joyous
emotions thrill thy soul, and this world, with its
sordid pleasures and selfish tears, is wholly effaced
from thy recollection. Wouldst thou exchange those
blissful moments for years of ordinary life ? Un.
grateful, how dost thou dare complain of the weariness
of thy lot.
There are other mourners whose heavier sorrows
claim our deep sympathy, the victims of disappointed
love. What value shall sooth their aching hearts ?
Earth is indeed desolate to those for whom the sun of
love is extinguished. Hapless hearts, we commiserate
you, and yet for you there is an oasis, and only one;
and of this he who has been so truly styled " the poet
of love" has beautifully told you—
" Come ye disconsolate whrre'er ye laeguish,
Come at God's altar, fervently kneel,
Here bring your broken hearts, here tell your anguish,
Earth has no sorrow which Heaven cannot heal."

As Noah's dove, finding no resting place for the sole
of her foot, flew back to the sheltering ark, so does
the bereaved heart turn trustfully to Him whose
dearest title is the Friend of the Friendless and the
Lover of the Unloved. Such hearts, so widowed and
so consoled, are, when the trial is past, objects worthy
of envy rather than of pity.
And thus in the three great sorrows of life—
poverty, obscurity, and loneliness of heart—some
oasis of refreshment is provided. We might pursue
the consideration further, and show how lesser evils
prove more numerous but not less effectual consola-
tion. But it is unnecessary; each one, if be will
honestly think of it, may find in his own experience
a hundred other examples.
No one has a right to say the world is wholly a
wilderness, unless he can prove that neither heaven
nor earth, neither the companionship of friends nor the
thoughts of his own heart, offer one sweet spot of solace
where he may forget his woes; and we do not believe
that the man who can truthfully say as much exists.

PROPHECIES OF PEACE.—On the 21st of January,
1792, the French National Assembly recorded a solemn
resolution not to enter into any war, except strictly in
self-defence. On the 31st of the same month, George
111. opened the British Parliament with a speech con-
gratulating the country on the prospect of continued
peace, and a consequent reduction of our naval and mili-
tary expenditure. Towards the close of the same session
Mr. Pitt said in the House of Commons, "England never
had a fairer prospect of a long continuance of peace. I
think we may confidently reckon on peace for ten years."
The treaty of 1786 had then established all but perfect
freedom of trade between England and France, and the
trade between the two countries had increased rapidly
during the intervening six years. In the same year
(1792) the people of Orleans had, in a burst of enthu-
siastic good will towards England, thrown down the
statue of Joan of Arc erected in their marketplace—for
the avowed reason that it had been erected to comme•
morate a triumph over their new allies. But in February,
1793, France had begun with England, Holland, and
Austria, the war which lasted almost without intermission
till 1815.

THE FLOATING RECEIVING-HOUSE AT LIVERFOOL
—Letters for America were posted at the Floating Re-
ceiving-horse on Saturday as late as 10 50, A.M., giving
the public thereby the advantage of nearly two hours, as
the letterbox ut the chief effico closed finally at 9 A.M.
So appreciated is this new arrangement, that to take ad-
vant-tge of it letters from Manchester are sent down by
special messengers. Our contemporaries in the im-
portant neighbouring towns should, therefore, aid in
making the public acqutaint,d' with the existence of this
new accommodation.—Liverpool

MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
BIRMUNGUAM, IVEDNPSDAY EVENING.--The first
evening concert took place last evening. Mlle. de
Meric made her debfit in Donizetti's " Deh non voler,"
which she interpreted with exquisite taste. Mario
received a vociferous encore in Mercadante's " Bella
adorata," which he sang with that perfection of taste
and finish which kiss placed him in so exalted a posi-
tion among European singers. He was also loudly
applauded in the serenade from Don Pasquale. Miss
Catherine Hayes was excellent in Bellini s " Sediziose
veer and the " Caste Diva." Madame Sontag elec •
trifled the audience by her brilliant performance of
Rode's air and variations "Il dolce incanto," and
received an encore so universal and enthusiastic that
it was quite evident she had established herself as the
queen of the festival. A like compliment was also
paid to Madame Castellan's performance of "
non credea," from La Sonnambula, and in answer to
the very general encore,- she gave the " Ah,. non
' giunge, with, if possible, a greater amount of beauty.
Signor Lablache was as great as ever in the
perpetual " hliei rampolli. Pischek was well
received in " Camilla bier," from Herold's
Zampa ; and Sims Reeves gave a glorious ver-
sion of the serenade from Euryanthe, " %%Then the
orb of day reposing." He was obviously in much
better health than at the morning performance, and
received a well-deserved encore. Mdlle. Jetty de
Treffz delighted every one by her simple, pleasing
ditty, " Spazieren wollt," which was applauded to the
echo. It would be impossible in the space at our
command to particularise excellencies where all was
unimpeachable ; but we must in particular signalise
the duet, " Da quel di," from Donizetti's Linde di
Celmouni, which was most exquisitely rendered by
Madame Sontag and Signor Calzolari, the fine tenor
voice of the latter being heard to great advantage in
the hall, where he now for the first time made his
appearance. Bishop's favourite glee, ‘! Blow, gentle
gales," was deliciously sung by the Misses Williams,
with Reeves, T. Williams, and Machin ; and Wal-
lace's duo, " If love should dare to creep," was sweetly
given by the Misses Williams. The performances
were brought to a close with Rossini's " Fazza dell'
alma," in which the whole force of the band, chorus,
And solo performers was brought into requisition ;
but Alboni, whose name appeared in the programme,
did not show herself. In the course of the evening
Sainton astonished the auditory by a solo on the
violin, and Thalberg, also, by a concerto on the piano•
forte. The concert was in the highest degree suc-
cessful in a musical point of view, and closed the first
day in a most triumphant manner.
The performances this morning commenced with
Slendelssohn's oratorio .Athalie. The burden of the
cantata was sustained by the Misses M. and A.
Williams and Stevens, the introductory verses being
read by Mr. Bartley, who had kindly proffered his
gratuitous services. The march of Eliacin and the
icred champions was finely rendered, and so also the
antiphonal chorus, "Depart, depart." They were
both encored by the president, in compliance with
-he very evident wish of the audience.
The second part consisted of a selection of gems
from Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn, and
Cherubini ; but these were prefaced by a fantasia and
sxtemporaneons fugue on the organ, by that great
master of the instrument, Dr. Wesley. As a musical
effort, it was a production worthy of its author, and
s a specimen of organ playing, it was unquestion-
' ably a most successful development of the powers of
the noble instrument. 1;lo Miss Hayes was assigned
the ever popular recitative and air from Theodora,
0 worse than death," and " Angels ever bright and
fair." She acquitted herself with the highest credit,
ind only escaped an encore in consequence of the
judicious veto of the president. The chorus,
Righteous heaven," from Handel's Susanna, was
perhaps the greatest achievement of the kind at the
present festival ; the band and choir were so effectually
controlled by Costa as to produce the highest pleasure.
Pischek substituted " 0 Lord, have mercy," for
" Sanctum et terribile." Mdlle. de Merle, in Chem-
eines " 0 salutaris hostia," acquitted herself with
credit, and the duet " Qual assalto," from Rossini's
Hose in Egitto, was accurately sustained by Miss
Hayes and Signor Mario. But the glory of the morn-
ing was Madame Sontag's incomparable performance
:if the celebrated air from the Creation, " In venture
clad." This was of course encored; but the vocalist
declined the intended honour. In the celebrated
recitative, "Deeper and deeper still," Mr. Sims Reeves
gave an unquestionable proof .of his superiority to
most English tenors in the elements of tone, quality,
and passion. In the air, " Waft her angels," he
was eminently pathetic. After the chorale
" Sleeper?, awake," from Mendelssohn's St Paul,
:which was very steadily rendered, Hadyn's sestette,
.‘ Et incarnatus," was sung in admirable style by
Nliss Hayes, Mdlles. Jetty tie Treffz and De Merle,
Signor Mario, Mr. Machin, and Signor Lablacbe.
To this succeeded the ever popular air, " Let the
bright seraphim," by Madame Castellan, who was,
however, evidently oppressed by the demand upon
her physical exertion. Mozart's quartet " Ave
verum" was beautifully given by Mdlle. Jetty de
Treffz, Mdlle De Meric, Signor Mario, and Mr.
Machin; and Mdlle. Jetty de Treffz, who has esta-
blished herself as a favourite, if for nothing else, on
account of her unaffected and fascinating demeanour,
was very happy in her felicitous reading of the air,
"Jerusalem, Jerusslen," from Mendelssohn's St. Paul.
The performances were brought to a close by the
recitative, "'Tis well," from Joshua, followed by the
march and solo and chorus, "Glory to God." It will
thus be seen that the selection was admirably adapted
to display the powers of the respective artists, and it
is questionable whether,
.for a general audience, a
greater accumulation of musical beauties could have
been effected.

The receipts have been very satisfactory up to the
present time. The presidents' and viee•presidents'
tickets on Tuesday morning realised 239/. Ss.;
miscellaneous tickets, 1,1001. Bs. ; donations
4.59/. 17s. 2d. ; total, 1,799/. 13s 2d. The
number of persons present were 1,496, of
whom the presidents and vice-presidents were 228.
In the evening the tickets of the presidents and vice-
presidents were 751. 12s. ; miscellaneous tickets, 3971.
ls., making a total of 4731. 3s. 9d. The presidents
and vice, presidents last night were 72 persons, other
persons 643, making 715 perzons present. At this
morning's performance the presidents' and vice-
presidents' tickets produced 106/. 165., and the mis•
cellaneous tickets, 605/. 175.; donations, 531. 10s. ;
making in all 7601. 3s. 2d- The number of persons

THE ROMANCE OF THE SEWERS.— There are
streams—nay, rivers of gold—of gold and poison, flow.
inn under London. At present, so careless of wealth is
our unsophisticated generation, we take no account of
the treasure in our heedlessness of the If the
Chancellor of the Exchequer could be awakened toe
seme of the value of the sewers, he would smilingly rub
his hands over every drain, as a source of a tributary
Pactolus. A..s it is, we poison the Thames with much
which, touched with the ward of science, would fatten
and rejoice our fields. Mr. Dover has approached the
Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers with a glorious
akin. Dover—if his plan be a truth—is the sewage

that, pouring from twelve Westminster sewers, defiles
the Thames; stirs it with his pen, and it becomes gold—
Nord gold. Out of only twelve, sewers, if Dover be a
true man, he will produce in income-tax 200,0001. per
annum. We ask Sir Charles Wood, is Dover a man
to be neglected ? It is now an allowed truth, that
the Thames is defiled into a foul ditch. Flowing
through the City and Westminster, it wafts killing
miasma on either side of its barks. What in the
good old times was clear lymph, is now mortal liquid,
in which only the skeletons of departed sturgeon, the
mere bones of plaice, are buoyant. This shows what a
Dead Sea, or rather a Defunct River, we dwell upon.
And what does Mr. Dover propose as a remedy? This.
A tank at the exit of every sewer to receive the sewage;
whereupon, the genius of science will disinfect the con-
tents, and precipitate them into pure guano. The dis-

of the Nimrod, Cork steam-ship, accompanied with the
followin4 note:—" This sheaf of oats was grown on a

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNIRG PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The question has often been asked since
the prorogation, what is there to be done next session?
-ewe are at no loss for more than one answer; but without
looking round for less pressing necessities, there is one
thing Hhich must be done, and, we are persuaded, will
be done, and that is, the total prohibition of intramural
burial in populous towns. The time has arrived when
all:other considerations must be merged in that of the
public safety. London at this moment exhibits the
climax of the greatest nuisauca ever tolerated by man.
We say this advisedly. Never—no. here in any nation
or clime, has there occurred such a Net as that which is
tow occurring. .It is an event absolutely unparalleled,
that a city should be burying, week by week, nearly
3,000 human carcases within itself, by far the greater
part of them in cemeteries already too crowded, hemmed
in by dwelling-houses, opening upon our thoroughfares,
and surrounding our places of worship. We repeat that
it is the only instance history can produce of
2,796 corpses being deliberately comtaiin d to the
soil whereon we live, and within our daily haunts,
the halitus of which we breathe, and the drairelee
of which to some extent we use—in the space of one
week. If the portentous fact of last week is to be sur-
passed, it will only be by the still more portentous result
of the present week, when that shall come to be known.
We challenge a denial. There have been slaughters in
the field of battle; and when we read of re giment%
mowed down by artillery or left in the breach, the mind
naturally looks forward to the ghastly scene that re •
mains when the battle is over. We inquire what be-
comes of the dead? We aro told of a rough burial in
trenches; and we imagine bloody dews, rank grass, end
bleaching bones. Quis non Latino pinyuior campus
sanguine? said the Roman poet. We are apt to imagine
Waterloo, first, a sickening heap of carnage; then, a
rough graveyard; then, a putrid plain. But we are now
every week performing in the midst of our metropolis the
same hideous task which devolved on the survivors of
that day. We are burying every week more than w ere
slain on the British side on June 18, 1815. We
are burying every week nearly as many es • pe-
rished, both British and natives, in the passes of
Caubul, and whose corses marked that hideous track to
their tardy avengers in the ensuing summer. But even
if we take a far greater slaughter—Borodino or Leip-
sic itself—what is the burial of any number, once fir
all on a vast steppe, compared with the weekly packing
of three thousand bodies in a few acres of land in the
midst of one city? Familiarity alone blunts our horror
at the tact, but it is the familiarity of gravediggers.
Familiarity enables men to lire on a volcano, or a marsh,
and enables us to live, with equal unconcern, amid the
reeking remains of human myriads. It would be vain
to look for a parallel in any other city, for no other is
so populous; and in no considerable city out of these
islands does there exist the general practice of intra-
mural burial. As soon as we cross the Channel we find
every populous town provided with one or more ceme-
teries outside the walls, or beyond the continuous line
of dwellings. Such is the ancient custom of the Church,
and when our churchyards were first consecrated, they
were generally in the outskirts of the town, and, in fact,
inclosed from the fields. Whenever a pestilence broke
out, and a more than common mortality ensued, a tempo-
rary burial-ground was provided at a still greater distance
from the town. On this day five hundred years ago the
plague was deso4ting this metropolis, and the site of
what is now the Charter-house, near Smithfield, but still
further out of the city, was set apart for the burial of the
victims. The actual rate of mortality was not greater in
that year than it is now. There is hardly a town in this
kingdom where the same care was not taken, and where
you are not shown to this day the plague burial ground.
It is reserved for the enlightened nineteenth century,
always bossting of its improvements, to make no provi-
sion for the ravages of a pest, and make burial grounds
in the heart of our cities—already insufficient, and
scandalously crowded—suffice for a trebled mortality.
It is impossible to walk a mile in any pert of this metro-
polis without being reminded that a pest reigns around
us. We see what the poet calls funera volgo. No sooner
has one funeral procession passed by, or one returning
body of mourners been lost in the throng, than another
comes in view. If we track the sad route we arrive at
some burial-ground, busy with undertakers. On casting
the eye over these gloomy enclosures we are sure to
see a dozen or two fresh graves, and four or five
still yawning for their destined occupants. Among
them is generally one of ominous capacity. We
have not the means of telling the numbers
now daily crowded into each burial ground, and it
is among the many scandalous omissions of our muni-
cipal laws that the public cannot know whether ten
bodies or fifty were consigned last week to any given
burial-ground, but any one who chooses to explore for
himself will see enough to provoke the most painful ap-
prehensions. Many of these places are too notorious to
be mentioned, and every day our attention is called by
our correspondents to others as bad. " I would earnestly
draw your attention," says an inhabitant of Lambeth,
" to a monster nuisance in our parish, which has escaped
the vigilance of your reporters. I allude to the Lambeth
burial-ground at the corner of Paradise street, near the
church. In this little spot there aro thrust from 20 to
40 ilodies every Sunday, independently of the week-day
and Workhouse burials. The smell of the ground when
the graves are opened is intolerable." The passengers
in Tottenham-court-road may see something of this kind
in the burial-ground, heaving till it threatens to engulph
the Tabernacle in that street. But London is full of
such instances. It is impossible not to fear that we are
poisoning the site of this metropolis, and sowing the
seeds of perpetual malaria. What if London, like old
Rome, must some day be deserted as no longer habitable?
The invariable fate of private measures leaves on the
Go the responsibility of action. The health of
mitliona i 3: oo serious a matter to be trucked on the firm-
ness of a Mackinnon or even on theintmiths sysiSpiisla.e
of the Legislature. We must not have a Bill introduced
in an able speech, hailed with a general unanimity, post-
poned for three months, scoffed at by an Osborne, and
them thrown over to another year. Sir George Grey is
the only man in a position to carry the measure, and he
ought to undertake it. Between this and Dext February
there is ample time to draw up a Bill. It is a matter of
life and death to those who are compelled to live in this
city, and its most crowded regions. No half measure
will suffice. Prohibit burials altogether except in ceme-
teries remote from populous districts.

ADVERTISER.—It is with a sort of regret that we
revert again to the Hungarian question. It is sad to
write on a subject which has so materially changed in
its aspects. So long as there were hopes, however
feeble, that the Hungarians might accomplish their in-
dependence, we took a pleasure in again and again re-
curring to the question. All hopes of such a result
have vanished, and we feel in now writing on Hungarian
affairs, as if we were priming the epitaph of that noble
nation. But a sense of duty must overcome all con-
siderations of mere feeling. While anything can yet be
done for the brave Magyars, we must dispense with
portly sentimental effusions, and endeavour to do it.
And what wo thus say tOr ourselves we say for our
country. Something may yet be done for the Hunga-
rians, and England must at least endeavour to do it.
They are now entirely at the mercy of their united fees.
They Ha helpless at the feet of Russia and Austria. Let
it be the great object of the English Government to try
and make the best possible terms for them. We believe
that much service may, in this way, be rendered to
the Msgyars. And to enable Lord Palmerston to
do it all the more effectually, it is necessary that
he should be fortified in any application he may
make fur clemency to them by the universally and
strongly expressed voice of public opinion. There is a
danger of the two despotic Powers, at whose feet Hun-
gary now lies prostrate, treating that, country as they,
in conjunction with Prussia, treated Poland. What the
treatment was which Poland received at the hands of
this trio of absolute monarchs it is not necessary that
we should say. The foul deed lives in the indignant
remembrance of all the friends of justice and liberty.
The partition of Poland is an atrocity which will never
be obliterated from the minds of the present generation;
it will live for ever in the page of history. What
Austria, and Prussia did in the case of poor Poland,
the two former would be quite prepared to repeat in the
case of Hungary. They would cut it up into fragments,
and then divide the spoil between them in such a way as
might he agreed on. France and England must prevent
this. They must raise their voices against it. Europe
has suffered severely from the partition of Poland; there
has been no genuine concord, no cordial friendship, no
real peace, among its leading Powers since the enormous
crime was committed. Any partition of Hungary
would be still more fatal to European tranquillity.
It would be incompatible with a general peace.
We need not east° words in proving this. No one
will question it who has paid any attention to European
affairs, and comprehends the relations which Hungary
bears to other countries. It therefore behoves England,
and we cannot doubt that France will cordially co-
operate with her, to interpose her friendly offices on
behalf of the Magyars, with the view of preventing so
disastrous a result. If Hungary trust still—Fate hav-
ing in the meantime so willed it—be under the sove
rcignty of Austria, lot Lord Palmerston take care that
to her those rights to which she has a constitu-
tional effort be neglected which can hold out the hope of se-
curingtional claim. If the Noble Lord urge on the young
Emperor of Austria that to be clement in ti io hour of
victory, and moderate in the use of the triumph which
the Cossacks of the Czar have achieved for him, will be
thefro
Dogn
if; "a
which he can pursue—we are
imprnd e l
esfsolicesy eth the conviction that he will not
s
reason and remonstrate in vain. His representations
will be listened to, and at least some little remnant
of Hungarian independence be left. Hungary
may remain under the dominion of Austria,
Scotland,rig_hts
and yet have conceded to her
mry
and privileges peculiar to herself—just
a
though forming
an integral part of Great Britain, has
privileges and laws peculiar to herself. To enable
Lord
Palmerston to interpose, with effect, the friendly offices
of England on behalf of the Magyars, it will, as before ob-
served, be necessary that the people of England should,
in the strongest manner, express their friendship for
that gallant people. Let Russia and Austria learn the
great truth, that it is no part of the English character
to take part with a people struggling for their rights,
so long as there are grounds to anticipate their triumph,
end then to forsake them when they have fallen beneath
the power of their enemy. England is a too generous
country fur that. For such a people as the Magyars
her sympathies would be all the greater, and her friend-
ship toe stronger, when she saw theta overpowered by
superior numbers. The heart of this country
Heeds for the gallant Hung,arians. England
feels more deeply attached to them thou ever.
Their reverses only strengthen her friendship.
Already we discern indications of the cemnieuce-
roent of e great movement to stronethen the hands of
I. Td Palmerston in hi: mediatory offices on behalf of
the Hungaiiane. Oa Monday evening a greet meeting
was hell in eir'reeewich ie favour of the Magyars, when
the wishes expressed by Lord Dudley Stuart for public
demonstrations on their behalf, met with so hearty a
response as to Ware Do doubt that the pop Of 3icilwad

are ready to raise their voices in any way in which they
can be of service to Hungary. We hope, before long, to
see a great metropolitan meeting called for this purpose.
We will answer for it, that such a demonstration in
favour of the Magyars would be as great and as gratify-
ing in every way as was the late assemblage in Drury-
lane. The example of the metropolis would be promptly
