ments of the dance. The general aspect of the
company must have been rather interesting from the
occasional mixture in the same quadrille of French
and English uniforms, French and English ladies, the
authorities of the place, and the citizens of both
nations. The airs of Vire Henri Quartre,' and
' God save the King,' which were given in succes-
sion, seemed to have very well expressed the pre-
vailing idea, which was that of universal concord
and good will. The English residents at Dieppe
have returned the compliment paid to so distinguish-
ed a visitor, by inviting the native inhabitants to a
similar entertainment. I have said so much on this
subject, partly because I hope that the baneful pre-
judices bet Ween the two countries, which have
lately been so much cherished by the Liberal party
in France, may receive a check by such a demon-
stration of feeling, as that which has lately taken
place at Dieppe, and partly also because the Duke
of Clarence does not allow his name to be pressed
into public notice, in the manner of another mem-
ber of the same illustrious family.

A public carriage, of a new construction, yester-
day started for the first time from Paris for Orleans,
which seems only to want one of Mr. Gurney's
steam-engines to make it a very tolerable machine for
the purposes of locomotion. It contained Ho less
than sixty passengers, which, according to the place
they occupy in the vehicle, are charged ut the rate
of five, four, three, and even two sous per league ;
the latter rate being somewhat less than a farthing
per mile.
" A print-seller, of the name of Dubreuil, has
been condemned to three months' imprisonment and
a fine of five hundred francs, for exposing portraits
fur sale of the young Duke of Reichstadt.

A Mail has been received from Lisbon by the
Stanmer packet. It appears by the following
that the work of butchery is still to be perpe-
trated in that unfortunate country :

OPORTO, SEPT. 21.

The Correio do Porto contains the sentence pro-
nounced against the twenty-one individuals who came from
England in June, 1828, on board the Belfast steam-boat.
They are all condemned to be degraded from their rank,
to be executed on the Praga Nova, and afterwards their
heads to be cut off, the bodies of some of them to be
burned, and the ashes cast into the sea : their heads ex-
posed on the road from Malezurhos to the seacoast where
they landed, and there remain till they decay with time.
The property of all of them to be confiscated to the Royal
Treasury.
The Lisbon Gazettes to 27th October contain no news.
The following is from the Falmouth Packet
Newspaper :

Falmouth Packet Office, Saturday, Two o'Clock, p. m,
The Stamper packet has just arrived from Lisbon. At
the time of her departure from Lisbon every thing appeared
quiet on the surface, whatever heart-burnings the people
might feel. Don Miguel freqUently rides in and about the
city unattended, and to the unprejudiced observer there
appears no probability of a revolution, however such an
event may be desired by the friends of constitutional and
clearly defined governments. The armament is refitting for
another attack on Terceira. The Government bad ordered
forced levies of men both for the army and navy, and con-
siderable energy was displayed to accomplish the objects.__
An opinion, however, prevailed that the expedition will not
proceed to its proposed destination.

By accounts from Lisbon we learn that the
young Queen of Portugal, DONNA MARIA DA
GLORIA, landed at Terceira on the 7th Sep-
tember, where she remained but a short time,
and proceeded on her voyage to Rio Janeiro.
It appears that the King of SPAIN has de-
manded of DON MIGUEL, as a compensation
for acknowledging him King of PORTUGAL,
that he shall send to Mexico 3,000 men, es-
corted by two frigates. When this proposition
was submitted to the Council of State, BAR-
BACENA and San LORENZO sanctioned it.—
Admiral PREGO is to be tried the moment he
arrives at Lisbon, but it is supposed he will go
to Rio Janeiro or to England.

The Journal of Odessa of the 15th Septem-
ber, contains the following remarkable passage
If the SULTAN has sufficient sense to appre-
ciate his true interest, he will seek the alliance
of Russia, whose policy is to gain the affections
of the Turks, and thereby extend her commer-
cial relations both with Persia and Turkey."

Letters from Berlin state, that although the
official articles of the Treaty between Russia and
the Porte are not published, yet they are nearly
ascertained,land consist of 16 articles, of which
the 2d, 3d, and 10th, are the most important.

We have New York Papers to the 18th ult.
The town of Guayaquil remained in possession of
the Peruvians on the Ist May, and General
MELIOCLIEA had arrived with about 8,000 troops
from Payta, from whence General LEMAR was
daily expected with the remainder of the Peruvian
army. By an arrival in the States from Mada-
gascar, we learn that the town of Majunge was
destroyed bylfire. General SANTANDER had
arrived at Puerto Cabello on the 19th August,
a prisoner, on board the 64-gun ship Cundana-
marca, which, after landing him, was to proceed
with two other 64-gun frigates and a sloop of
war to the Pacific, under Commodore BELUCUB,
to keep the Peruvians quiet in that quarter.

We have received a file of the Barbadian
to the 27th August. These state that in Tri-
nidad a number of slaves, imported from Domi-
nica, under the denomination of domestics, have
been seized by order of the Government, under
the plea that they were intended for other em-
ployment ; and that others, to the number of
1800, imported under similar circumstances since
the Ist Jan. 1825, will also be confiscated to
Government.

We have some Quebec Papers this morning,
which communicate the following :—GEORGE
SIMPSON, Esq., Governor of the Hudson's
Bay Company's Territories, had arrived at La-
chine ; he left the mouth of the Colombia river
on the north-west coast of America on the 25th
March, and reached Rio River Colony about
the end of May ; from thence he made a survey
of the ports to Moose factory, and came to the
Lachine by the Abitibe and 011 away rivers.—
He reports the interior to be tranquil, with
favourable prospects, and promising crops at the
Rio River Colony. The crew of the William
and Ann, which was unfortunately wrecked on
the 10th March at the entrance of the Colombia

river, were treacherously murdered by the natives on
reaching the shore, in the expectation of becoming
thereby possessed of the property on board.
They consisted of 16 Europeans and 10 Sand,
with Islanders. The supplies for the Colombia
River and its dependencies were expected to ar-
rive about the month of May, they having been
shipped on board the Ganymede.

Consols opened this morning at the same price
they left off at on Saturday, 893- 4 for the account,
and 894 for November, with little doing at pre-
sent. By the Manchester accounts this morning,
it appears that the trade in Dewsbury, Heekmond-
wike, Huddersfield, and Halifax, is still in a very
low state; but one branch of the fancy trade has
much improved, owing to the invention of a machine
called a witch, which beautifies the clothes with
various flowers.

The Merchants and Bankers sign the books at the

A Lisbon Mail has arrived this morning, brought
by the Stanmer, sailed on the 27th September;
we do not hear that she brings any news of impor-
tance, except that fear was entertained there that
the Americans would make reprisals for their ship
taken at Terceira.

TWO O'CLOCK.

We have a current report in the City that an American
frigate has taken a Portuguese frigate and brig of war off
Terceira; although this report requires confirmation, still
they were in great fear at Lisbon that the Americana
would snake reprisals for the insult offered to them off
the above island.

The private letters from Lisbon, by the mail this morn-
ing, state that it was reported there that an insurrection had
taken place at Madeira.

Accounts from Havre, by the French Mail, say that on
the sth October the Russian sailors in the above port
came to blows with the American sailors near the Basin,
where quarantine is performed; two of the Russian sailors
were thrown into the sea and one of them was drowned.

Letters from Toulon state that great exertions are mak-
ing there to equip the Bellone and Scipion frigates for
sea, supposed going to the Levant to reinforce the French
squadron ; the brigs Goelette and Vuluge were to sail on
the 3d with despatches for Admiral Rigny. Orders have
likewise been given for a number of brigs to be kept in
readiness to put to sea at the first signal ; it is supposed
they will sail in four or five days.
A letter from Marseilles of the 30th August, states
hat an English house there has received advice that 17
English ships of war have entered the Dardanelles.
The official publication of the Quarter's Revenue has
not had the least effect on the Consol Market this morn-
ing, Consols having continued at one price during the
whole of the morning, 894 far. the Account, and 894
for November Account, with little or nothing doing. This
being the continuation of the Hebrew holidays called Ta-
bernacle, it is not expected that any speculations of im-
portance will take place.
The Foreign Market is in the same stagnant state as that

BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

(FRO3I OUR CORRESTONDENT.)

BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY EVENING.
My last gave you a report of the performances at the
Church on Friday, and mentioned that the second Miscel-
laneous Concert, with which the Festival concludes, would
take place that evening. The Theatre was pretty full
One of BEETHOVEN'S symphonies (in D.) opened the cant.
paign of the evening. Alm ICsrvErr (who as Miss
Mavis was a great favourite in Birmingham) was encored
in " Bid me not forget thy smile." The compliment was
delicate in the extreme, for Mr. KNYVETT is the composer
of the music to that song. Madame M. GARCIA was in
excellent ♦oice and high spirits. In Rossna's " Una voce
poca fa" she was encored. She also sung " The Light
Guitar," and accompanied herself in the air, (the name is
not given), which excited so much applause on a preceding
evening. BRAHADI was peculiarly unfortunate in all he
undertook ; " The Battle of the Angels" was a complete
failure. Miss PaTort's "Lo ! here the gentle lark" re-
ceived the honour of an encore. Nlcilinsost accompanied
her on his flute. Miss FANNY AYTON seemed, for
the first time since her appearance, to be in excellent voice,
and really was most successful in every thing allotted to
her. She and Signor COSTA, in the duet, "Un soave
non soche," were henoured with very great applause. The
Hymn to the Virgin " Ave Maria," from SCOTT'S " Lady
of the Lake," was received with uncommon plaudits; the
soli parts, by Mrs. KNYVETT and Mr. VAUGHAN, were
particularly fine. Dx BERIOT, on his violin, and Mrs.
ANDERSON, on the piano-forte, were also distinguished by
approbation. The worst of it is, that a Birmingham au-
dience does not possess any very great discriminating powers,
and hence it not unusually happens that they are eloquent
in applauding things that a more tasteful company would
suffer to pass off sub silentio.

Besides these Concerts there have been Balls on Tuesday
and Friday. The rooms were lit with wax and portable
gas, from patent resin oil.) The latter had a brilliant
effect, and possessed no disagreeable smell. On Friday
night, at the second ball, an awkward accident occurred,
which might have been of a serious nature. It seems that
Madame MALI MAN GARCIA had expressed a wish to
waltz, and in a few minutes that very delightful dance be-
came " the order of the night." Several persons, wearing
the costume, and moving in the stature of " gentlemen,"
entered the ball-room, and their very tottering walk, and
more tottering language, soon chewed that they had been
paying their devotions at the shrine of the rosy god, in
plain words that each of them was Bacchi plena& One
of them advanced to Madame MALIBRAN and insisted
(Birmingham politeness !) on her " treading a measure"
with him. She was obliged to comply, but half a dozen
rotatory movements of the whirling waltz proved too much
for her inebriated partner, who fell on the ground, drag-
ging his fair waltzer along with him; she cried out as
she was falling, and the utmost conftision arose. All fears,
however, were allayed by her rising and assisting the fallen
hero on his legs. He was severely hurt, and Madame
MALIBRAN had a very narrow escape. So much as a
specimen of politeness in a Birmingham Ball-room.
Many of the light-fingered gentry attended the Festival
" professionally." The President (the Earl of BRAD-
FORD) can confidently testify to the knowledge of their
art, as he had his pocket picked of 1001.
On the whole, the receipts do not exceed those of the
last Festival, while, it is believed, the expeuces are heavier.
A damp was thrown on the Festival by a circular, attri-
buted to a clergyman, who is a Dissenter by birth, educa-
tion, and belief, but wears the cassock of the Church of
England, to enable him to draw a couple of thousands per
annum from a rich benefice. This circular bans, as irre-
ligious and blasphemous, all who attend Musical Festivals.
So ardent, indeed, has been the zeal of the individual re-
ferred to, that lie attempted to bribe the ringers at the
churches, in order that the holy church bells might not
be desecrated by ringing for the Festival ! As a proof
that this feeling is not singular, I need only add that the
Bishop of LITCHFIED and COVENTRY, in sending a dona-
to n of 201. to the General Hospital, expressly stated that
the donation was in no way connected with the Musical

Festival. Po much for what Lord 8Y11.014 calls " spiri
'nal politeness."
Mr. Bu.anitat, Miss PAroN, Miss FANNY AYTON, Mr.
THORNE, Miss COVENEY, and the four Bohemian brothers,
made their appearance at the Theatre last evening (Satur-
day). So full was the house, that about 4001. was cleared
by this single night. The manager (Mr. CLAREE, who
conducted the private theatre of Kilkenny, where Miss
O'NEIL made her debut) has engaged all the above per-
formers for a short time, except Mr. BRAIIAM and Miss
l'AroN. As the other rnembe;s of his corps dramatique
are very excellent, (particularly Messrs. STUART and BEL-
' LAMY, from the Bath Theatre), he is expected to have a
successful season. Almost every song during the evening
was encored, not so much from an abstract love of music
or vocal powers, but from the desire of having their
money's worth—an eye to the main chance is certainly one
of the characteristics of this " toy-shop of Europe"—and
thus concluded the Musical Festival. • The gross receipts
of the Birmingham Festival have this week exceeded
10,0001. ; those of York, last year, 16,0001. ; of Man-
chester, 12,0001.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN-EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week were mo-
derate, and of Flour there was a fair quantity. This
morning the supply fresh up is again moderate. The at•
tendance of country buyers falls off seriously, and the sales
of Old Wheat are therefore limited, and for all descrip-
tions of Wheat the prices may be reported 2s. to Ss. per
quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. Barley sells so
heavily that it may again be reported ls. to 2s. per quar-
ter lower. Old Beans are ls. per quarter cheaper, but
New are unaltered. Boiling Pease are without Variation,
but Grey are rather lower. There is considerable diffi-
culty experienced in the sale of Oats, and this article may
be stated Is. per quarter cheaper than last Monday, with
scarcely any sale for such parcels as are uneweet or disco-
loured. The top price of Flour is expected to he
lower, but this is not yet fully settled among the millers.
