THE ROYAL YACHT CLUB.
COWES, SEPT. 24.,-Yesterday morning. the Hon. Charles
Pelham's yacht, Falcon, came into harbour to be paid off, and
laid up for the winter ; and as he is Commodore, we expect his
example will be very generally tbllowed by the Members of the
Royal Yacht Club. The season has been most discouraging to
yacht sailors, yet it appears to have had but little-effect in de-
terring the Members of the Royal Club from embarking. as
• usual. Among those we have seen here with the Commodore
are—Lord Viscount Melville, in the Admiralty yacht, t:,:e Duke
of Norfolk, Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Willoughby,de Broke,
J. Masse, Esq., 'l'. Halifax, Esq., T. Williams, Esq., W.
Curtis, Esq., J. Gordon, Elq., .1. Roche, Esq. F. N. Pare, Esq.,
J. Lindergreen, Esq., in their cutters ; Viscount Deerhurst, A.
Bacon, Esq., 11. Perkins, Esq., J. P. Powell, Esq., Capt. G.
Windham, Robert .1. Allen, Esq. intheir schooners ; and Sir
W. Curtis. Sir G. heeds, Bart., J. Fleming, Esq., Rev. G. Cap-
per, S. Challen, Esq.-Ilon. Wm. Hare, J. Shakespear, Esq. T.
A. Smith, Esq., C. B. AI. Talbot, Esq., in their yawls. When'
we reflect on the distressed state of our brave seamen; it is
truly gratifying to see so many noble and optilent gentlemen
holding out a benevolent ham( to them ; and as we know of no
amusement so truly national, we rejoice to see our Alonarch
and men- of birth and fortune familiarizing themselves to
the element, and taking under their protection, the men
that are the great source of our wealth, anti the sheet-anchors
of otir safety. It is a recreation that promotes alikelhe health
of the individuals and the prosperity of the country, while it is
the most honourable and least expensive amusement an English
Gentleman can embark in-; and, therefore we hope to see the
list of its Members rapidly increase, and that, under the pro-
tection of the King and the Admiralty, it will become as popu-
lar as it is useful. . .

YORKSHIRE GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
YORK, SEPT. first series of these performances
commenced this day. For the last three days this city has hail
the appearance of more than wonted bustle and. activity, par-
ticularly yesterday, when, carriages continued to arrive the.
whole of the day,, following each other in rapid succession.
The theatre is to he open every night. An incorrect statement
appeared in the London prints of Friday last, that Madame
Catalani would not sing here. That distinguished vocalist ar-
rived in this city yesterday in excellent health. The large west,
gpery was this day completely tilled; as also was the middle
aisle, and nearly the side aisle of our magnificent' cathedral.—
It is ndeed worth while to twat' a 410Asi the remotest part of
the kingdom to be present .at this extraordinary meeting.—
The orchestra consist% of dearly 500 instrumental performers,
and Madame Catalani, Miss Stephens, Miss D. Travis, Mr.
Vaughan, Mr. Sok), and others, are amongst the vocalists. We
commenced with flandel's re Deans ; the first burst or sound
of the opening symphony was truly ,appalling ; and when the
voices joined the instruments in " We praise thee, 0 Hod !"
the auditory sense was nearly overpowered. " The Tempest"
of Haydn followed, and as the former was a grand assemblage
of sound addressed to the Deity, this was a grand display of
voices and instruments, to express the raging of the elements in
the natural world. The middle aisle is as long again as iVest•
minster Abbey; and when seated on the highest point, the voices
in the orchestra seem to come from an opposite mountain.
Catalani in " Oratias agimus tibi," and " Holy, holy ;" Miss
Stephens in " Pious Orgies," and "As for the lower," &c..
were never in finer voice. Although the performances closed
about four o'clock, the whole of the company did not go from
the cathedral until 7 o'clock, owing to the excessive rain and
the immense numbers present. The streets are now filled with
carriages driving to the concert, and all the city is in a bustle.

MARRIAGE IN Mali LIFE.--On Wednesday the 17th
instant, at Shugbomugh, the seat of Lord Viscount Anson, by
the Rev. P. Anson, A.1%1., the' Rev: Charles Okeover, of Oke-
over, in the county of Stafrord, to Mary Anne, eldest daughter
of General the Hon. Sir George Anson,
Count Lieven gave an elegant entertainment on Wednesday,
at Ashburnham House, to the Duke of York. Among the dis-
tinguished party invited to meet his'Royal Highness, were—
Lord St. Helens, Lord. 'Francis Conyngham, Countess Cowper,
M. Planta, &c. &c.

The Duke of YORK. viewed the improvements
of Covent-Garden Theatre last night, which Hill
this evening be witnessed by several persons in.
vited for that purpose.
The Duke of SOSSEX has left Kensington Pa.
lace, on a visit to Jolt N .Derr., Esq. M. P. at his
seat, Barton Cottage, near Lymington, liants.
We are happy to state, from unquestionable
authority, that the LORD CHANCELLOR. is at this
time enjoying perfect health, and that he often
amuses himself with the spoils of the field.

POETRY.

MUSIC.
(Flom" Stanza.; for Music, and other Poems.")

BY ALAItIC ALLAN WATTS.
" Yes, Music bath the key of Memory ; •
" And thoughts and visions buried deep anti long,
" Come at the summons of its sweetness nigh."
, .
Mysterious keeper of the key
That opes the gates of Memory,
(Win thy. wildest, simplest strain,
We live o'er years of bliss again !
-The sun-bright hopes of early Youth,
Love—in its first deep hour of truth,-
- And dreams of Life's delightful morn, •
Are on thy seraph-pinions borne ! .
To the Enthusiast's heart thy tone
Breathes of the lost andlovelyOne
And calls back moments—brief as dear—
. When last 'twas wafted on his ear.

The Exile listens to the song
Once heard his native bowers among ;
And, 'straightway on his Visioni rise
Hope's aunny slopes and cloudless skies.

The Warrior from the strife retired,
By Music's stirring strains inspired,
Turns him to deeds'of glorttione,
To dangers 'scap'd and battles won.
Enchantress sweet of smiles and tears,
Spell of the dreams of banished years,
Mysterious keeper of the key
That open the gate of Memory !
'Tis thine to bid sad hearts be gay,
Yet chase the smiles of Mirth away;
Joy's sparkling eye in tears to steep,
Yet bid the mourner cease to weep.

To gloom of sadness thou canst suit
The chords of. thy delicious lute;
For every heart thou hest a tone,
Can make its pulses all thine own I

MR. GRAHAM'S ASCENT FROM CHELTENHAM

Wednesday' Alflernonn, Sept. 24.
Mr. GRAHAM had announced his intention to ascend in his
balloon from this place on Monday last but, as you may have
learned, owing to the boisterous and rainy state of the weather,
adopting the advice of several friends here, he postponed such
intention till this day. It was fortunate that he did so,because this
day has turned out very favourable for his adventurous voyage.
The scene of ascent was extensive premises behind the
'loyal Oak lnn. The most ample arrangements had been
made for a supply of gas from the' gas-works of this town:
the work of inflation commenced soon after ten o'clock, and the
supply came so rapidly; that by one o'clock the balloon was
more than half full. Mr. Graham superintended the inflation,
and by two &clock it was so far distended as to display its
shape. The ground was fully attended ; and amongst the
company was the Duke of Buckingham, attended by a patty
of friends, *lmbed chairs near the balloon, so that they might
observe-the.proftrat.:of inflation. fillortly before four o'clock
Mr. Graham said that the balloon was sufficient) y filled with
gas, and he then fixed the ear to the balloon. All was ready
by twenty minutes after four, when he anti Mr. ‘Vebbe got
into the car amidst the cheers of 111011°1411am The balloon then
rose, the ropes having been cut; but it with difficulty cleared
the roofs of the stabling, the car even knocking oil some of
the slates. The balloon then descended, which created consi-
derable alarm for the aeronauts; however, it fortunate)), de-
scended into the middle of the main street, when the crowd laid
hold of theca; and paraded it up the street to a more open space.
It was now found requisite for. Mr. Webbe to quit Ins station,
which be did with considerable reluctance. That having
been done, and Mr. Graham having righted himself, he gave
the Word of command to let go. The balloon then ascended
rapidly, beautifully, and steadily, Mr. Graham waving his
hand to the populace to evince that all was safe and promising.
Onwards the balloon winged its way, but with so much tip.
parent slowness as to afford the public ample opportunity tor
witnessing its progress. In about seven minutes it was entirely
out of sight.

THEATRE OF V Anivrir.—The little theatre hi.
Catherine-street opened last night with a series of entertainmen ts
that redeemed the promise of its name. Their variety, however,
exceeded their excellence; and many of them had better been
spared ; but with the remainder, when freed from the more than
ordinary portion of delay incident to a first evening's perform-
ance; a person might feel amused for a couple of hours. There.
presentation of the rising sun and a storm at sea, were pretty speci-
mens of scenic mechanism. M. Cornillot exhibited sonic slight.
of-hand tricks, which were suflicientlY curious, 'hut the dexteri-
ty
.with whicbhe.picked a gentleman's pocket of his watch, ob.
tamed for him immense applause from the gallery. In the
singing department, u young lady appeared for the first time
upon the stage, whose extreme terror nearly deprived her of
all voice; notwithstanding which she attempted " The Soltikr
tied," and was so far successful as to receive an encore. Tire
Haunted 3funastery was only saved from being 'completely
damned by the children's pretty dancing.

LORD YARBOROUGH.--We regret to state the
death of this very worthy and most respected
Nobleman, which event took place at his Lord-
ship's seat in Lincolnshire on Tuesday last. lie
was created a Baron in the year 1794 ; mulls
succeeded in his title by his eldest son, ttu Hon.
CHARLES ANDERSON PELHAM, now Lord Y:ta.-
BOROUGH.

Lord CATHCART, who for some time hod been
deprived of his eye-sight, has completely re-
covered the use of this inestimable blessing. His
Lordship about' ten- days since submitted to the
operation of couching, and through the skill of
Mr. ALEXANDER, the effect has been complete.
Mr. BELLAMY, many years of the Norwich
Company, has accepted an engagement at the
Bath theatre.

Miss lA. K ELI.Y9 a sister of Miss K ELLY •of
the English Opera lions?, is engaged at Drury
lane for some parts of- genteel comedy ; and
Miss S.'llooTri,-for other-parts, and also for
melo-dramatic business.

MUNDEN—the veteran, the incomparable Mon-
den—gratified his Brighton friends on Tuesday
by appearing as Old Donator; and Crack. It
was known to be his only performance here this
season, and the 'house at the drawing up of the
curtain was accordingly crowded to excess in
every part. We rejoiced to see this sterling
actor once more upon our boards, and were still
more pleased to observe the vigour with ivhich
he trod.the stage, in absolute defiance of his old
enemy—the gout.--(Brighton Gazette.)
