NEWCASTLE MUSIC MEETING.
Nr.wcAsT T v NE, Oc•r. 3.—The commencement of
the Musical Festival has been rather inauspicious, in conse-
quence of some dispute having arisen between the Committee
and the Vicar respecting the performances which were intended
to have been exhibited in St. Nicholas Church, but which will
now be transferred to the Freeman's public building on the
Town Moor, a place in my opinion much more appropriate for
the performances. I trust the Freemen will not alter their
present resolution, for I think they would be at a loss to find
another building at all suited, excepting the (meaning the
Freeman's) Park, so liberally offered. I wish you would get
inserted in one of the Papers an account of the misunderstand-
ing between the parties, for I think it is a very illnatured trick,
or at all events an action not worthy of commendation.

ANECDOTE OF TUE MARQUIS OF GRANBY.
Every person who has ever heard or read of th
exploits of the late Marquis of GRANBY, knows
that his expenditure was most profuse, and his
charities almost without limits. In riding along
the lines of the British forces, when he was in
the chief command of them on the Continent, he
used to throw down ducats to every soldier's wife
who asked him for them, without discrimination.
Be not only on these occasions spent all the
money ho bad about his own person, but
used to borrow
promiscuously of every mem-
ber of his stair who happened to be near him.
llis Lordship's generous heart could not bear
to keep a person who had asked charity of him
a single instant in suspence,and he in consequence
drew so lavishly on the pockets of his stair,
borrowing of them so hastily, that he used to for-
get from whom he had received these momentary
loans ; that they used to find it convenient either
to accompany their General with, hi the true sense
of the word, " a soldier's pocket," or make some
excuse,as often as possible, not to attend him on his
morning rides through the lines. On one of these
occasions, a sudden tit of economy seized the Mar-
quis,and on the first soldier's wife begging of him
that morning,he pulled out a ducat from his pocket,
and desired his Aid-de-Camp,Capt. Cartwright, to
procure him silver for it. His staff were full of curio-
sity to see the end of this novel and unexpected cir-
cumstance ; the woman herself seemed thunder-
struck ; but of course no remark was made.
As soon as the Aide-de-Camp had brought the
change, he gave it to his General, who was then
in conversation with the woman, hearing her tale
of woe. On receiving the money, the Marquis
poured it from one hand to the other, listening
attentively to the petitioner's story, and at last
put the whole of the silver that he had in change
for the ducat into her hand.

The present POPE, LEO XII., IS continually
adding to the public collections of Arts anof
d
Sciences. He has lately acquired the Mosaics
THERMES D'ANTONIN, which were recently dis-
covered. His Holiness has also bought the Li-
brary -
of Count de CrcoGNA.nt, which con tai
more than five thousand works, the greater part
of which belonged to eminent men, who have en-
riched their copies with marginal notes. This
library will be added to that of the Vatican at
Rome.
