Dulwich, Oct. 7, 1821.

SUDDEN DEATII.-An awful event took place
during the Worcester Musical Festival, at the
precise time when Mr. VAUGHAN was singing
" Gentle Airs," accompanied on the violincello
by Mr. LINDLEY. Mr. JOHN GRIPFITHS, one of
the vocal performers, fell back in his'seat, in an
apoplectic tit ; his ghastly death-like appearance,
together with groans, excited a considerable de-
gree- of serious sensation among the performers,
as welt as that part of thecongregation who could
behold him. At the conclusion of Mi. LIND-
LEY'S cadence, he was carried out, and several
medical gentlemen,'who formed part of the,cou-
grep.;ation,' hastened to attend him; they pro-
ceeded to bleed him, and he was conveyed tothis•
residence by six
.rnen, where he.continued in a
senseless state till Saturday afternoon, between.
four and five o'clock, when he expired. lie had
been a Mernbe'r of the Worcester Choir upwards
of 30 years.. He possessed one of the most;
powerful bass voices that ever was heard,and
yearssome 'since he was engaged as the principal
bass singer at the Covent Garden Oratorios, and
probably would .haie continued so, and no doubt
would have had what the superiority of.his. voice
won Id have derv; tided, but for some eccentricities
in his manners.. 'His voice was heard predomi-
nant above all, even in very large orchestras,.with
' an organ and a numerous assemblage of vocal and
instrumental performers. He was engaged at the
great oelebration of 'HANDEL, in Westminster.—
Miss STrrn ENS was extremely affected on viewing
him before he was carried .out of..the orchestra,
and burst into-a God of tears. Most of the per-
fOrMeri-Were much affected at.the afflicting scene.
Miss STEIiIIENS: re.covered. herself in time. to sing
her last air, ." Fa, er,ell ye limpid kgripgs aad
.
floods."
