The original diamond ring of MARY QUEEN OF
SCOT 3, upon whicit are engraved the Arms ot Eng-
land, Scotland and Ireland, quartered, anj which
was produced in evidence at the 'nal of the unfor-
tunate MARY, as a proof of her pretensions to the
Crown of England, was in the possession of the
late Mr. I3LACHFORD, one of the Lords of the Ad-
miralty, at the time ot his death. The history ot
this fatal ring is curious. It descended front VARY
to her grandson CHARLES 1., kvho gave it, on
the scaffold, to Archbishop JUXON, for his so"
CHARLES 11., who, in his troubia:s, pawned it in
Flo:land for 3001., where it was bought by. tit).-
vernor YALE, and sold at his sale for 3201., sup-
posed for the Pretender. Afterwards it came into
possession of the Earl of 1.1.1. a„ Duke of ARGYLE,
and probably from him to the family of Mr.
BLACHFQRD. At the late sale of his carets, it
was said to have been punts/ft for the riling

HAMPgHIRE TRIENNIAL MUSIC MEETING.

(THIRD AND LAST DAT.)

IVINCHESTER, 'Thursday, Five ,o' Clock .—The
• Concert at St. John's House, last night, was most
numerously attended—there were upwards of 400
persons in the Room. The .concourse of people
who have attended this Festival was imniense, for
since the time the late Duke of lir.nF.rnn was
Steward at the Winch( stet Races, co large, an as-
semblage leas not been seen is this City. 'Digs
Concert, if pthsible. went of'etub more eclat than
that of -the precedinl evening. TiAY first Act
ronsiited of iiiexander's' Feast ; the secOnd was a
1T acellanewt9 sdt.e.inu, —Mr. Hawas's new
Ballad of " There's a Bower of Roses " was most
deservedly applauded; but the Tr.o of " Lessons
“I• 11.4.Ve, by Mr. and Mrs. VAUGHAN' and Mr.
BAIiTLEMAN, .Wri3 !Mien admired. Miss STE-
PHENS, iii Mr. BISHOP'S new Song of " What
airy Sound," drew forth the warmest testimonies
of approbation ; and BART. LEMAN, in Dr. CHARD'S
OFFERTORIO, was never more himself. The Docior
presided 'at the Piano-tithe with that taste, spi-
rit, and feeling, which are peculiarly his own, and
the Concert emiclitdcd with a (Motu, of that
early •ennuent Lt'oglish Master PURCELL, which
astoilislald and delighted every one present; but
the Oratorio at the Cathedral, this morning, out-
did evt ry thing of the kind we ever heard t-,--
BARTLPAIAN said he never witnessed such a per-
fect prr:orinanee, tor power, unity, and expres-
sion—the. :-.vhole Orchestra was evidently 'ant.,
mated by One feeling, as. it were, to do credit to
the &ash School, of which they are such dis-
tioguisited ornaments.

I The Selections were from HANDEL, GRAUN,
• LEO, HAN ON, and PERG,.LEI. The Choruses
were grand and sublime, and their effect was
wonderful, and not readily to be described. There
were upwards of 800 persons present. The Se-
lection of the Music throughout the Festival was
highly creditable to the taste and judgment of the
Dirt tears, and the greatest praise is tine to Mr.
HAWES for his spirited. and unremitted exertions
in the superintendance of the whole series of the
perform nces.---Miss STEPHENS this morning ex 7
cetdill het twitter exertions, and has added
greatly colter professional 'reputation ; her exe-
cution of the Air of "The Horse and his Rider"
astoniShed the whole uuditoty, and it she could
only " throw her voce out" with a little more
force, she would become one of the best Singers
of be Music of Alt
HANDEL.—BTLEMAN sang the
Air of " 0 Loid ! have mercy upon me," with
the most exquisite taste and feeling. His Duet
with BELLAM Y , of " The Lord is a Man of War,".
was much ad.pired ; and Mr. W. bit. KNYVETT, •in
the Air Rectum 0 God of H•ists !" gave
another ivistanee of his taste, expression; .and
Choruses in The Creation) and " He
gave than Hailstones for Rain," were sublimely
graod, Mid the performance concluded 'with the
strongest exi,ressio:is of approbation and ap-
plaose.—"Ah. BAETLEMAN and the other Per-.
formers reel ived the congratulations of the au-
dience as they passed ; and we cannot conclude
this hasty imperfect sketch of this Oratorio with-
out iicknowledging the ability and taste of Mr.
CRAMP:H. toid the . effective support he received
fr.rn Mess's. SIBLEY. 4, LINDLEY, SCU. and jun.,
and all the other Performers.

Winchester, Thursday Night, Half-past Nine o'Clock.

The last Concert of this Festival took place
this evening at .St. John's House. At an early
hour its avenues were blocked up with carriages;
at eight o'clock there was not standing room, and
at this moment the adjoining rooms are filled with
Lldies and Gentlemeni'who are obliged to be
-content to receive the distant accents of the liar-
mouituis Choir in the Great Room, and to regret
they were not earlier applicants for accommoda-
tion in it. The first Air, by Mr. \V. KNYVETT,
of " Full Fathoms five thy Father lies," and the
Chorus, were sung with good effect ; and that
delicious Madrigal of WILBYE'S, of " Flora gave
me tairest Flowers," was well. received, as the
compositions of that School will always bcby
persons of genuine taste and feeling.
It is stated that upwards of six hundred tickets
have been taken for this Concert, and from the
size of the Great and adjoining Rooms, there is
reason at this moment to believe: it to be-correct.
The Instrumental Music in the first Act of this
Concert has been much admired, 'and the cele-
brated Duet of MOZART IS now in course by BAR-
TLEMAN and VAUGHAN, who appeared to have
imbibed frush vigour and expression horn the
well-earned applause they received in the morm.
ing. The second A-, of this evening will he
doubtless concluded i'a the same spirit and cha-
racter as the preceding part of these performances,
and we must congratulate this county with having
set an example for all others, that where Native
Talent end Ability are to be obtained, that' On
these Provincial. National:occasions., -the lid -of
Foreigners ought not to be resorted to, and -that.
the Country possesses at .the present --moment
sufficient musical strength in that respect, il ac..
Ictiowlo:ged by the general homage which•;has
been most impartially paid to Mr.-,BARTL4MAN,
Miss STEPHENS, Mr. and Mrs. VAUGHAN, Mr; WV:;.
KNYVETT, Mr. HAwEs,. Mr. BELLAMY, MISS
IVILLIAMS, and _ the other Vocal Performers on
this occasion. 01 Mr. CRAMER, Mr. LINDLEY,•
Mt% Garassackt, Mr. SIBLEY, and the otherMem-
hers of the Instrumental part of these Perform-
ances, too much cannot be giyen : they -have
unitedly left such an impression on the people of
'this County, that they will hail with pleasure
the opportunity which . the next TRIENNIAL
MEETING here will afford them to-hear again the
distingUlSned NATIONAL TALENT which was so
conspicuously shown on the present occasion:
lu the course of this Festival the only Nobles
we noticed were the Lord .Bishop of SALISBURY,
and the Earl of CARNARVON. It, however, has
been so nobly supported by several of the Clergy,
the Gentry at large, and the most distinguished
and reputable Yeomanry, that we do nut en-
tertain a doubt but that a permanent foundation
has been laid for the CONTINUANCE of the Meet-
ing in this County, aim which, bottomed on hti.. •
manity, generous feeling, and united with music,
luunoly, and good fellowship, cannot fail to
produce the most beneficial Ililti lasting impres-

A SMUGGLER CAUGHT.

(FROM AMERICAN' PAPER.)

NoimoLx, JULY 2G —The Spanish ship Pro.
vizieoce, prize tn. the revenue cutter, Ciptaia
came tip last .evening.'

The circumstances attending this vessel (says
the Hotel Marine Book) are involved in the same
mystery that attends the most of the captures
made under the Patriotic flag, she having come
into our - waters) as her Bnenos•Ayrean Prize-
Master states) under these .Citenmst.,nces. Mr. -
John Gordon, the Prize-M tster alluded to, has
given the keeper of these Books the following
particulars : —On the 15th of April lasi, off tire
Western Islands, the Buenos-Ayrean Plivateer
schooner Mangum, Capt. Barnes, fell m with the
above ship from St. Andero bound to the Havan-
malt; with a cargo of iron, 'cordage, cutlery, and
tiler, well provisioned, having a large number of
passengers on board ; that himself and five others
were put on hoard as the prize crew—the Captain
and crew of tbe ship, as well as the passengers,
(except three who, are now here) were taken on
board the privateer ; the ship then shaped her
course for the coast of the Brazils, bets een
time and her entering the Capes, on Thursday
evening, nothing worth stating occurred, and dur-'
ing which they sew no vessels. On Monday last,
on the edge of the •Gnlph, had their main-top,
mast carried away in' a gale.
The ship came to anchor yesterday foreneson, in
Hampton Roade,, bound to Baltimore, and about
two o'clock in the afternoon the cutter took pos•
session of her. Her papers, says the prize-mas-
ter, were put into the hands 'ot Captain Latimer
(one of the Officets of the cutter), unopened, he
deeming it improper to break a seal.
[We understand that no manifest of her cargo
is to be found, and that several other circum-
stances of a mysterious nature -attend her, upon
which we may be able to throw some light in our
next paper; as an investigation will be had before
the Collector some time this morning.]

PROPOSED BRIDGE AT HAMMERSMITH.

The design, for some time meditated, of build.,
ing a Bridge over the Thames at Hammersmith,
has met with so much concurrence front the landed
Proprietors of both sifts of the River in that
neighbourhood, that, it is said, an application
will be made to Parliament, early in the ensuing
Session; for carrying it i►►to effect. By the ac-
commodation which such a structure tvill afford,
the distance front the Metropolis will be conside-
rably diminished, and an easy access, by the most
level roads, will be presented to the inhabitants of
Barnes, Mortlake, Richmond, Twickenham, Ted.
dington, Hampton, Sunbury, Shepperton, Chert-
sey, and the whole of that district which com-
prehendi the North-western part of Surrey and
the contiguous part of Berkshire ; while more
convenient and near communication with those
places will be obtained by all the inhabitants of
the North-west parts of London, who, instead of.
being obliged to proceed by Hyde Park Corner,
may pass along the Oxford road from Shepherd's
Bush, through Brook Green, to the foot of the
new. Bridge at Hammersmith. By this route, the
saving of distance to Richmond will amount to
more than two miles.

The spot selected for the bridge is at the end
of the Church road liading to the river and the
lower Mall. At that place the bed of the river is
said to be composed of such hard, firm materials,
as.to be capable of bearing a weight of ten times
the pressure of the intended Bride. The struc-
ture is proposed to be of iron, and of a light and
elegant appearance.
At the junction of this bridge with the Surrey
shore, it is designed to make a road, of seven fur-
longs in length, to communicate immediately with
Barnes and Barnes Elms. This piece of road is the
only one that is necessary 1.0 be cut, to make an
immediate communication with the places men-
tioned.

The expense of the bridge, Sic. are proposed to
be defrayed by subscription, and the subscribers
to be remunerated on the plan of tontine. On the
completion of the, subscriptions, the arrange.
merits are, it is said, in such a state of prepar►a.
lion, that the work may be commenced early in
the ensuing spring, and completed in the course
of the summer.

DALKEITH, SEPT. 13.—His Grace the Duke of
BUCCLEUCH and QUEENSBERRY'S Charity Schools
were this day examined, in presence of the Direc.
tors and several other Gentlethen of the town.--
A pleasing sight could hardly be witnessed
than one hundred, boys and sixty girls, in,sepa-
rateschools, divided into their different classes,
vying with each other to attain the pre-,eminence
over their 'fellows; not a task., but a pleasure
taken in the perfOrmanee Of their different attain.,
nients. The first and second.clusses were truly
admirable their exactness in spelling perspi-
cuity in reading, elegant writing, and accuracy in
arithmetiC, deserves the greatest credit. • To the
beStx`cholars of each class were awarded prom.,
tionate premiums, awl, to the teachers of both
sehools the highest -enCbtnium, for their 'inn'.
milted attention in their arduous duties. This
praise-worthy institution has proved of great ser-
vice to. the poorer class pf parishioners, many of
whose children might have otherwise been ne-
glected of the first rudiments, and correct moral
duties which the laws of the institution ordain.
This being only one of the many establishments
his Grace has appointed on , his widely extended
estates, now and for time coming will throw an
additional lustre round this noble family, from
which the community at large will reap the ad.
vantage.
