ofth this meeting, in commemorating the anniversary
strnt Polish Revolution, makes an unfeigned demon-
‘h3n in favour of its principles and spirit, and
We r regrets that the efforts of he Polish people
acting
crowned with complete toccess ; that this
has a powerful motive for lamenting over the
e4u '5l. Poland, because her fall is a great loss to the
gr„,,:e Of freedom ; at the same time it holds in the
the lest abhorrence the lawless tyranny of Nicholas
ofe. rnperor of Russia, animated by the worst spirit
to the and religious persecution, which is a disgrace

vtn• That this-meeting, in expres:ing their warmest
Pathies with the cause of Poland, looks with in-
interest to her regeneration in all her ancient

hit.tarnett agreed upon its production, Henry
to s; 111.8 Complained to Min of not having any ballad
a wing in it; the difficulty of giving such a song to

sorn;ll,9ly agreed that Mr. Barnett should introduce

'lt , manuscript song on his friend's piano, called
pc,. eln lierz ist hn Bochland," which he had coin-
it,.i. four years before, intending to ask him to sing
le4,'lto.he had‘never done so. Mr. Phillips liked "the
write' it," and tried it over. "Why not have words
t;18: .' to this ?" asked he ; and, according to his
wer!e''oll, the words " Farewell to the Mountain,"
the - Nato it, and he was very much .pleased with
ltio s°ll. How little do managers or composers
4arlsv„iwnat will please the public. At the last re-
-441 --t of the opera, it was suggested to cut out this
14, as being heayy and uninteresting ; Mr. Burnett
oi,t
tut' the same opinion himself, and was anxious to
ass he song out, .fearing it would endanger the sue-
d,t uf the piece ; but Phillips would not allow it ; he
I:rained to " to try it, at all events, the first night."

chrdere fact is, Jones, that the Court did not-intend-to
