CHESTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Observing in your Paper of this day a re-
port of the above Meeting, which is, in almost every
particular, untrue, and evidently written by a per-
son who was not present, I beg you will have the
kindness to insert this note, pointing out the errors
and mis-statements which appear in that report.
There is scarcely a sentiment attributed to the
Chairman which he expressed, with the exception
of the allusion • to the conduct of Members just
before an Election, and th,At to the Dissolution of
Parliament; every thing else which your Reporter
represents him as saying is utterly false. Ile did
not make use of the nonsensical language about the
liberality of Mr. Harvey, nor of the ridiculous adu-
latory epithets respecting that gentleman, with which
your report abound. He spoke indeed of Mr.
Harvey, as his talents, his fearless and uncompro-
mising discharge of his legislative duties, and his
unwearied attention to the wishes and wants of his
constituents, descry e.
The latter part of the speech alleged to have
been delivered by myself is likewise untrue. I
never uttered such sentiments, nor used such lan-
guage, as your reporter has put into my mouth. I
kno n, of no opposition Club. I have indeed heard
of four or five discontented individuals having se-
Ceded from the Club to which I belong, (or personal,
and not political motives; but who still profess to
be actuated by the same principles, and to be equally
attached to Mr. Harvey as myself. They are not,
then, in opposition, but in union with us.
48 'Your Paper disseminated the bane, I trust to
your candour in administering the antidote ; and
have the honour to be,
Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,

.MINGIIAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

(140 M ours COILILIESPONDENT.)

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.
The miscellaneous concert at the Theatre last night was
Much better attended than the operatic performatives of
Tuesday evening, probably. because it was more intelligible
to the people of Birmingham. It opened with one of
BalruovEses S'mphonies (in C.), which was ably led by
CRAMER.. Miss FANNY Arrox then gave a scene from
Ilactnt : the recitative she managed to spoil, but in the
attached aria she was in fine voice, and had as brilliant
execution as she ever displayed ; she was warmly applauded.
This was succeeded by one of Moonr's Irish Melodies,
" Rich and rare were the gems she wore," harmonized by
blr.GaxaToestx. as a glee for six voices. This was encored.
Min PATON and Mrs. KNYVETT were most happy in this
glee, and were very ably assisted by Messrs. KisrvxxT,
Vann ttaN, PHILLIPS, and BELLAMY. A recitative and
aria by Mr. Vat:att.& x, from Hoastatr, were indifferent
enough. In PURCELL'S " Mad Bess," Mrs. KNYVETT
won golden opinions; there were fears that she would nut
be able to master the various cadences and transitions this
difficult song employs, but she triumphantly 'hewed that
the extent of her powers were not unequal to the task.
Messrs. WercitsEL and Lixnratr fatigued the audience
with a concertante violin and violoncello. lied its dura-
tion been one-third of what it was, there is no doubt that
pleasure would have been excited; as it was, it was in-
"erably tiresome, and excited much weariness in the
listenere. However, Mr. Puu ttrs's " Oft in the stilly
li.the. Was a recompence for a longer musical purgatory;
- was
encored. Madame MALIBAAN Gancia succeeded;

,n which she, Miss F. AYTON, Mr. Fulmars, and Signor
COSTA took part. The latter was a good clear tenor, but
is by no means equal to what report had anticipated.
With this the first act closed. Niranxn's overture to
" Oberon" opened the second part. Miss PATON accom-
Partied herAelf With the harp in " Oh r.o ! we never men-
ti°.ll her." Never at any former festival was a song more
al'Plnded i it continued for some minutes, and was again
j,,14 again renewed. She sung it again, and (what rarely
Pl*al) the iteration surpassed the first performance. It
certainly
y was the most successful piece yet produced either
4-
the Church or the Theatre.
r. paworoat attempted the song " See from the silent
vi
111,*e)" but failed. M. de BEtitsT gave a fantasia on the
otin with his accustomed taste and fine execution. Sig.
tlrellpr CosTa displayed his voice in a song of PACINI'S. In
ottish glee (harmonized by Mr. KsvvErr) Mr. and
:KISTVETT, Mr. VAUGHAN? and Mr. BELLAMY,
re alga applauded. Madame M. GA ucia gave a Spani.h

Iht.,4rt Ye my people," in a most superior manner. Messrs.
of .*-1,11; Vouctiow, and Thrums made a great deal
