PAS Ni.uz. as is the tack of reeoriling departed
,
w,)r 111. yet, in justice to, real integrity and
we not lament the lash both public and private` life
have. in the recent death of Lord fi;%wg.E,
name which every true Briton must be proud to
remember atriongst theforeniost on the list of the,
gallant defenders of his Country: The late Lord,
though not brought up as 1113 fathei in the rough
School of Mars, yet inherited from him, together
with his titles, that nice sense of honour which has
ever distinguished his career through life, uniting
with it at the same time every virtue which beiame
the Christian and the Man ; religious without pa.
rade ; generous without ostentation ; the promoter
of every useful institution, and tier active in the
cause of distressed humanity ; the best of husbands,
the best of fathers, and the truest friend : it may
truly be said of him, he lived but to do good ; and
though innumerable friends must ever lament his
loss, yet not a single enemy can cash a sliatle on
so brilliant a retrospthion.

------- the Deaths
Of those distinguished by their Stations,
But by their Piake; more, awake the mind
To solemn dread, and strike a sadsning awe—
Not that we feel rig them, but for ourselves,
Lett to the Toil of Life.

ORATORIO...--The. Messiah was last night
performed at Covent.garden. Theatre, with new
accumpaniments tnmposed by MOZART. We en.
terrain a very high respeft fur the genius of MO-
ZART, but we also hold the unrivalled powers of
HANDS!. in due reverence, and therefore must en.
ter our protest against any such alterations in works
that have obtained the santtion of time .and of
the best musical judges. There is an iategrisy in
the produaions of this great Master, the result of
the most powerful talents in his art. His, harm-
nies have a firm and united charaaer. The accom.
panimenta of last night, though manifesting taste
and feeling, did not assimilate with the grandeur
and energy of the original subjeLc.i. We oust, they
fore, that 'when The Messiah' ...)r any other work of
HANDEL, is performed, it ►will appear without
change or interpolation. HANDEL is an English.
man by adoption ; he produced all his. works in this
Country, and is still very iitt►.e regarded in his
own. We should therefore guard him in Music as
well as StfAXSPIARR in the Drama, from daring
innovation, Such as The Messiah, was, however,
in its improved state last night, it was well sup-
ported by Bilisii.tht, IVIILLUR, Miss MUNDAY,
Mrs. BLAND, and Mn.i Astslt. •

The following is the Note in which BRAHAM

or anthority over me :"

" Mi. Baa mast iitesents his compliments to Mr. NAN-
Dort, and begs to infttrm him, that be has discharged him,elf
from the Theatre-Royal, Covent.Gerdert ; and be requests
Mr. BA +N DO N will caustt this to be mac known.“
