?ALMON, SEPT. 7.

Yeaerday morning we were called forth to join
" in fweetea harmony," in attending the per-
formance of •that truly fublime compofinon tho
Sacred Oratorio of die MISSIA H 9 at the Church.
HMI. opened it, and got through the different
airs allotted to him tolerably well, confidering this
was his fira attempt in this kind of mulic. Mrs.

A:rums was very refpe&able in the longs Ile lung.
We never heard Madame Dusstx to better ad-

vantage in Sacred Mufic, particularly in her ca-
dence at dote of " Rejoice Greatly," In the
truly foletnn ftir of " I know that my Redeemer
liveth," the excited the greateft admiration. Mr.
MEREDITH, off Liverpool, fupported the bars tongs
in his ufual kyle of excellence. Your London
readers mutt recoiled this Gentleman with plea-.
fure : he was engaged in the Oratorios, at the
opening of Drury-lane Theatre. The ref of the
airs were given by Mr. flocrax and Mifs TR AV I s,
of this county. The Band was very ably led br
Mr. YANIRWICZ, of Liverpool, tvho has confider-
ably improved in his leading of HANDEL'S Mufic.
Mr. WEBBE, the fon of the celebrated •Compofir
of Glees of that name, very ably prefided at the
Organ. Mr. LANGHORNE accompanied Mr. Ma-
&milli in -the Fong of " The Trumpet fhtll
Sound," admirably : we never heard it perform.
ed better by the late SAR PLANT, or HYDE and
WOODHARI. The fpirit and correitnefs with which
the Chorules were rung, far exceeded our expec-
tation•; and,much praife is due to Mr. WAIN-
F
WRIGHT foe his exertions. If there was either of
the parts more corm& than another, it was the
Trebles, who were all Lancafhire Laffes, dreffed
in the manufaaure of this country. This county
has been famed for years for Chorus Singers. The
women as well as men, when they leave off work,
meet in the evening to practice Chorus Singing.
The church was crowded with beauty and fathion.
In the evening, the Ladies to the number of be-
tween feven and eight hundred, affembled• in the
Guild Hall.. Soon after nine o'clock the country
dances commenceii. They were led by the worthy
Mayor and Mifs JERNINC HAM, and they did not
break up till pall four this morning.
The Birth Day was ailed at the - Theatre. Ca-
tharine and Petruchio followed.

The Steam Engine which was drawn in the
procellion the day our Ladies walked through the
town, belonged to Mr. WArsom, an eminent ma.
nufaaurer of this town, one.of the firft who intro.
duced the Cotton Spinning here. It was made by
an ingenious man in his employ, with only two
men to affift him, in the almoft incredible time of

from theWednefday morning preceding the Guild
to the Monday morning when it commenced, and
it would have been in the proceflion on that day,
but the carriage on which it was drawn broke
down. It is called a Water Spinning Machine of
one horfe power, complete, upon the principle of
Boulton and Watts. The ciftern carries fevcn
hundred, weight of water, and the machine alto-
gether weighs three thoufand pounds.
On Sunday Daniel Crofswhite, the oilier at the
George Inn, after eating a hearty dinner, ate, few
a trifling wager, twentyone boiled eggs, a penny
loaf, and a pint of ale, in lets than eleven minutes*
