MARTIAL MUSIC IN RUSSIA.

A singular species of music delights the Russian ear,
and, at a distance, produces a grand effect, even to
strangers. Forty tubes, each producing only one note,
are committed to the management of as many per-
formers The leader of the-band beats time with his
foot, if in a chamber; in the open air a small drum is
employed to regulate the intervals of sound. No
written music is used ; but practice has produced
such precision in the band, that with the tubes or
horns fine modulations are executed. Reverberated
by the air, in a situation sufficiently remote, one
would imagine an accomplished orchestra " dis-
coursed sweet music." The Emperor's band consists
of three hundred horns. The Regiment of Guards
has also a fine set of performers on those primitive
instruments, and in calm summer nights, during
which a soft and uniform twilight prevails, a sail
upon the Neva, accompanied by another boat with a
band of horns, is an exquisite luxury for the auditory
nerves.

Luotow.—.At the Chamber Meeting of the Cor-
poration, on MOnday last, Mr. CHARLTON gave notice
that hp should proceed immediately by Ono War-
raito against Sir WATKIN W. WYNN, Bart. who, he
stated, was illegally a member of the body, not being
resident within the limits of the town. Mr. CHARI.•
TON, in signifying his intention, spoke as follows:
" I feel myself called on to declare that' my motive
is only to restore to thil .604 their rights and
.pri-
vileges, and to confine them thereto as their charter
dii ects—a motive that is founded on. ancient right,

that occasion, and drank the second glass himself,-.
- On the sth of July last, at eleven at night, Mohr..
dent went to the lodging of his wife, No. 384, rue St:
Devi . Their two erildren were going to bed. Thq
6 rst words he uttered were scandalous and abusive.
His wife endeavoured to soften the violence of- his
feelings. Moindrot exclaimed in a-feta:us tone, "It
u no use to trifle;" he then drew fi-omr-his pocket a
large pair of steel compasses, such as carpenters have
for their work, and said," You shall not survive me"
at the same instant he struck the unfortunate womau
on the left side with the compasses, the points el
which were extended. One entered just below the"
left pap, the other glided between the body and arm,
and occasioned only a slight scratch. The voice of
the wife was heard in all parts of the house. She
celled " Help!" and " Murder l" Her two daughters
(the eldest sixteen and the youngest eleven) ran to •
fetch the neighbours, who soon entered the room.--.
Moindrot was standing over the body of his wife, and
had drawn from his pocket a pistol, the muzzle of
which was placed in his mouth. It missed fire, and
he drew out a second, which he also put in his mouth
and wounded his right jaw. In the interval a neigh-
bour had conveyed the wife out of the room; she
went down one flight of stairs, but her sttength fail-
ing, . she fell and rolled to the next landing place.—
The Surgeons were successful in their endeavours to
save her life. At first she refused to make any der
claration of the facts, and only said' she saw two pis-
tols in the hands of her hu§bairtl. She was carried to
the Hospital of St. Louis, where she recovered. -
Moindrot being taken to the Hdtel Dieu, was soon
cured.- They tonnxlsitt-the roan where.this unfortu-
nate scene occurred, a letter that Moindrot had writ-
ten previous to the murderous attempt to his father-
in-hu.v. He declared his intehtion to deprive himself
of existence, and revenge himself upon his wife. He
confused that he wrote the letter in the shop of a
Marchand de Vin, where he drank until he was in-
toxicated. His object was to acquire sufficient reso-
lution to do the deed. • -The pistols he purchased for
the purpose of destroying himself after killing his
%%ife. He charged the pistols with pieces of ball cut
v. ith a knife.

Moindrot alleged as an excuse the had manners_of
his wife, but he knew that his suspicions were not
founded upon any positive fact. ,-, . ~:,,,,.-t - • ,
A number of witnesses proved that the conduct of
the prisoner's wife had been irreproachable. :
The Advocate who defended the accused, con-
tended, that the wholeof his conduct was the effect
of insanity. .
The Jury not only gave a negative to the question,
whether the prisoner was guilty of premeditated
murder ; but they decided that the crime had been
committed under mental derangement, and gave a
verdict of—kiwi/tel.
The verdict, which 'excited surprise in part of the
audience, occasioned a most indecent expression of
triumph in another part. The ,clapping of hands con-
tinued several minutes, and the PnSIDENT ordered
the arrest of all persons guilty of the indecorum.—
One of the offenders said—" It is true I have ap-•
plauded, but it was joy which occasioned the act."
A letter from Leghoi n, of the 22d ultimo, says :
g, The English here have just had, a great loss:, the
Governor of this town is dead. With him the Eng-
lish were great favourites, and he studied every means
of being useful to them. ITheil a boy, he had been
a Midshipman in the British Navy, and had ever
since retained a high esteem and love to everything
belonging to our nation: he delighted in serving the
merchants here, and rendering them comfortable.
He was tallied to-day with military honours. Ano-
ther source of his liking to the English was; : that his
wife's parents were English, though she was born
hem. We are all afraid of having an Austrian Gover-
nor. The whole British factory attended his funeral."
Letters of the 4th of September have beau receivid
from Rio de.datieno, which state that an inquisition
had take': place into the amount of property there
belonging to the Oporto merchants. The object of
this proceeding was not known, but apprehensiotis

The French Papers of Monday have reached us by
the regular Mail. They confirm the report of the
Viscount de MorrnroazNcv being on his return from
Verona, but they do not state the reason for so sud-
den and unexpected a termination to his mission. If
we might hazard a conjecture, it would be that the
determination of England to oppose the invasion of
Spain had so disconcetted the plans of the Holy
Alliance, that its members, Lading " their occupation
gone," would either soon separate, or send to know
the impression so unlooked for an event had made
on such of the Courts as were represented by proxy.
The defeat of the Spanish General Toamos is n-
peated, without any new fact.
Reports reached Trieste, about the 20th of Octo-
ber, that a severe action had been fought between
the Greek and the Ottoman Beets, on the 6th of Oc-

Ambassador.
It is said that •the ilegiments of Engineers (those
of Arras, Metz, and Montpellier) are to furnish each

BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 24
The Princess Augusta of England is hourly ex-
pected at Hanover, and the Duke of Cambridge it
expected the middle of this month. •
SEDILIN, OCTOBER i 7.
The Tartarian couriers have arrived at Belgrade
with letters from Sere: of the Ist October, and from
Saloniqoe of the 26th September. The firmansWhich,
were issued in the above places for delivering up the
golti and silver, had caused great alarm. All per-
sons whopossessed any riches were endeavouring to
escape. , Another firman has been issued, calling'
back all the emigrants. Those who are in the Turkish
employ are rote severe against the Christians, who
are already reduced to the greatest misery : and the
Jews have also bec9me, the object of persecution.—
It might be that the Divan has given secret orders to
persecute. the above perioksions. The Jews are emi-
grating in crowds from Bitoglia, Seres, and the neigh.
bourhood, making their best way intro Europe.

This forenoon we/received a German Mail, with the
Austrian Observer to the 27th ult. and Frankfort
Papers to the Ist. inst. The accounts they bring re-
specting the Greeks are highly gratifying. The re-
port that 1000 Turkish prisoners had arrived at
Clatanza, is confirmed; not so the rumour that the
Tut ks had landed 20,000 men at Napoli di Romania.
The fact appears to be, that this great Turkish ar-
mada has made its fourth expedition to the Morea
without having done anything decisive. The fleet,
so far from containing 20,000, had not at the time of
sailing more than 2000, who were so reduced by the
plague that they were scarcely able to man the vessels.
The accounts frem Cephalonia confirm the arrival
there of the inhabitants of Suli, in English vessels.
They have destroyed Suli and capitulated ; but this
step does not include the submission of the Suliots
generally, who have joined BOZZA MS to the number
of 5000, and ate near Janina. Those who recollect
the resistance of this brave people to ALL PACIIA for
several years, will know how to appreciate the import-
ance of such an accession to the cause of the Greeks.
The Austria's Observer announces the solemn entry
of Prince GuzicA into Bucharest, en the 2.5 th Sep-
tember, and the arrival of the new lloepodar of Mol-
davia at Jassy, on the I lilt ult. This Journal also
contains some details of the departure of the Tut kish
troops, and concludes with the following paragraph:
ig Tim the entire evacuation of the Principalities by
the Sultan's troops is effected; and, besides this, the
strictest measures have been adopted to take up all
stragglers, and convey them over the Danube."

CHARLESTON; OPTS R ea. '
One of the most destructive storms of wind and
rain was experienced last night and this morning that
has ever, within the recollection of the Oldest inha-
bitants' occurred ia this city. It began about eleven
o'clock, from the N.E. with violence, and, shifting to
the N. and N.W. raged with the most ungovernable
fury, but principally from the N.W. until about hall.-
past two o'clock this morning. The prevalence of the
storm from these points, without the wind veering
rotted to the N.E and E.is thought veryextraordinary.
—lt is owing to this fact that its de.tniczive effects
have been experienced chiefly within the city, and
particularly in those parts of it most exposed to the
west and north-west. The damage sustained by the
shipping in the harbour has from this cause not been
very extensive. The sheet of tin which covered the
cupola of the Circular Church in Meeting-street,
about twenty feet in circumference, and which was
well fastened round with brass nails, three or four
inches in length, was completely torn up by the fury
of the storm, and carried through the air into Queen-
street, a distance of about 100 yards. The iron vane
at the top of St. Michael's Church has been consider-
ably bent, and, the top of St. Philip's Church has been
carried away. The destruction and damage of ship-
ping, plantations, and houses, also the loss of lives,
I appear to have been very extensive. There was but one
stroke oflightning during the raging of the storm,which
strucktheUnitedStates schoonerGrampus,and shiveted
her wizen topmast. The thermometer rose from 70
degrees at 10 o'clock, to 771/2 at one o'clock. The
barometer fell in the same time from SO deg. 15 min.
to 29 deg. 50 min. The tide rose and fell, about one
o'clock, six feet in 45 minutes.

The communications between his MAJESTY and the
Ministers ate sometimes very frequent in the course of
the day, by the messengers and the orderly men, who
ate placed on the different stages between London
and Brighton. -A corporal and a small company are
stationed at each stage, with the exception of where
the coaches are always employed in carrying parcels.
A bag.is made up every evening, which is regularly
conveyed to the Post-office, and thence forwarded
to Brighton. An extra messenger or porter is em-
ployed solely for the purpose of conveying the
bag to and from the Office morning and evening.—
There is always one Messenger belonging. to the
Carlton Palace establishment stationed at Brighton.
Mr. WATsom and Mr. MARRABLE are remaining at
Carlton Palace to attend to whatever may arrive be-
longing to their office on his MAJESTY'S account, and
to forward them to Brighton or to their respect ive
destinations. The visitors to see the Palace (it being

customary at this time to permit it to be seen) are
very numerous ; but none are admitted without or-
ders from the superior officers.
The Duke of St. Albans, Earl Burford, and the Ladies Beau-
clerk, arrived yesterday at their house in St. Janses'sequare, from
their seat, Canon, Surrey.
The Duke of Grafton has arrived at his seat, Eustee Hall,
Thetford, from a tour.
The Earl of Coventry ins left town for his seat, Dome, near
Upton, Worcestershire.
Lord St. Helens left town yesterday on a visit to the Earl of
Essex at his seat, CasMobury Park, Herts.
Sir Thomas and Lady Farquhar have arrived at their house in
St. James's-street from Brighton.
General Orde has arrived at his seat, Brook Farm, from a tour.
General Sir James Erskine, Bart. has left Warren's Hotel,
Regent-street, for Paris.
Lord Henry Fitzgerald is on a vi it to his nephew, the Duke
of Lelnster at Canon, near Dublin.
Lord Manners has rrived at his house in Stephen's-grace,
Dublin.
Saturday Captain Donnell and Mr. Shaw arrival in Dublin
from Holyhead.
Captain FRANKLIN arrived in town on Wednesday
night, from Ilorncastle, Lincolnshire, and is about to
proceed on a visit to Lord BATHURST, at Cirencester.
The firmness of the LORD MAYOR of Dublin has
'been successful in preventing the Orange faction from
indulging in their usual disorderly revels on the 4th
of November. A strong guard of police, horse and
foot, surrounded the statue for some days previous,
and on Monday, when some wrongheaded enthu-
siasts attempted to decorate this idol of bigotry, they
were compelled to desist and to retire with their
gaudy trappings amidst the indignation of the mul.
titude. The Freeman's Journal of Tuesday says
" It is now four o'clock, Tuesday morning. For
the last two hours College-green has been perfectly
quiet. Between twelve and two o'clock there were
noises at intervals, but since two they have ceased
altogether. The horse and foot police still continue
to patrole round the Statue."
The London Bridge Committee will enter, in the
course of this week, into an examination of the fifty-
two plans for a New Bridge, sent in for their deci-
sion. Before they commenced their task, the Com-
mittee adopted an ingenious and effectual plan to
prevent partiality in their selection, and to frustrate
the efforts of those who would have exercised strong
interest in favour of particular plans. It was at first
arranged that each design sent in should have a par-
ticular motto. The name and address of the artist
-were written in a sealed letter, which was endorsed
with the same motto. It was soon found, that al-
though the names of the artists were not mentioned,
that persons were disposed to exert themselves power-
fully in favour of those designs bearing particular
mottos. The Committee, to put a stop to this sys-
tem, before they examined one of the designs, caused
all the mottos upon them to be erased by two confi-
dential persons, and a number to be substituted. A
private account was taken of the numbers thus sub-
stituted for the mottos, which account was immedi-
ately sealed up, and it will not be opened until a de-
cision has taken place. Other precautions have been
adopted by the Committee, to the best of whose
judgments the Public may rely oa an impartial
choice. The Committee, however, to whose pursuits
matters of this 'dud are foreign, do not intend to take
the whole responsibility of a decision upon them-
selves. They made application to the Board of Works,
that they, as a public body of scientific and practical
men, would examine the plans for the New Bridge,
and give their opinions upon them for the benefit of
the Public. The Board, however, declined taking
upon themselves the task, and the Committee have
in consequence determined upon applying to a num-
ber of men of science, architects, engineers, and sur-
veyors, by whose opinions, and advice they will be
principally guided in this matter, in which the cre,lit
of the City is so mush M stake.
