flumes*. PATON, and CANADOILI, were warmly applauded in their
respective arings--" The death of Weber." " I've been roaming,'
and" Batti Batti." At the Cathedral, this morning, the Messiah
Was performed. and gave universal satisfaction. BRAHAM gait the
venous " Comfort ye, my people," with great force; and Miss
Paris was particularly happy in the pastoral scene " There were
Shepherds." This Lady's singing is particularly adapted to Church
nimic ; and we know no finer specimen of intellect, taste, and exe-
cution, than she evinced in " Rejoice greatly." Madame CARA•
nom was in good voice, and sung " He was cut off," and " I know
that my Redeemer liveth," in a most pleasing manner. TZRRAIL,
B. TAYLOR, and Mum Gam, exerted themselves; and the instru-
mental band was peculiarly effective. _ _

Yesterday a -Meeting of the Magistrates of the East
Half Hundred of Brixton was held, by appointment, at the Sessions'
House, Horeenionger-lane, to consider the application of Mr.
FORD,
_to obtain a license, under the Hotel Licensing Act, for the
Rotunda Wine-room in Great Surrey street. Mr. FORD produced
his waiter, &c. who were under examinatzol about three hours ;
after which the Magistrates, without troubling those who came
prepared eta oppose the grant, decided that he bad not made out a
case to entitle him to the license. The Magistrates had given
notice that they would not permit either Solicitor or Counsel to
attend on either side, and abided by their determination.
Wedivaday evening, aLady on her way from Hackney
to the City, bad her pocket cut, and the whole of its contents, in-,
eluding about two pounds in money. extracted from it. She sat in
the back seat or dickey, and had no idea of her loss until some
time after her arrival in town. So ingenious was the thief that he
did not cut either the Lady's gown or petticoat in the operation.—
This rubbery was no doubt committed by one of those persons who
are to be seen so often hanging on to the back part of these coaches,
stealing, as it is termed, a ride.
Yesterday evening about six o'clock, two boys, about
]4 years of age, one named Tamara, singing boy of his Manure's
Chapel Royal, were bathing in the Thames, opposite to Milbank
Peottentiary, when they unfortunately got out of their depth, and
nut bring aide to swim they sunk ; a fisherman who happened to
be with bii bbat near the spot, and seeing the accident, threw in his
net, and fortunately drew up one of the lads; be again threw his
net, and extraordinary to relate, brought up the other; having
Towed diem abbore, they were conveyed in a state of insensibility
to Westminster Hospital, when the usual means of resuscitation
was resorted to. which was attended with success. It is impossible
to describe the feelings of the parents of the lads, who having heard
fifths; accident, were at the Hospital during the time the efforts
were n,ade to restore thesis.
The Goveroment Contract for one hundred thousand
gallons of West India Rum was taken on Thursday. A great
number of tenders were sent in, and much competition appears to
have related. The contract was awarded to the firm of Blew..
Wuxi and Son, spirit dealers, they having offered the most ad
voutegeous price, viz. 2s. I id. per gallon, the rum of the usual
required strength. Several large firms, we understand, lost the
enntract by no more than one farthing per gallon. Half of the
Contract (30,000 gallons) is to be delivered into his Majesty's
stores, at Deptford, before the 15th of September, and the re-
attainder on the ZOth of the same month. The contract for rum
was higher time the prices given at the last contract nude by the
Victualling.Board. Government also took contracts for 50,000
tuna of Muscovado Sugars at a shade below the market price.
Yesterday Atte hoots, a, a wood waggon, heavily
laden with five large mahogany logs, was coming up front Shad.
well, along Wapping-wail, et turning round a corner where the
street I. very narrow, the off-bind wheel came so violently in con-
uet with one of the p..sts fixed in the street, that the binding tying
she timber upon the carriage broke, when four of the logs fell with
a trennaidous crash into the street, to the imminent danger of the
foot pawansgere. A woman with an infant in her arms, the wile
saf an indastrious tradesman, named Harvey, residing in Shadwell,
• Who was walking abreast of tie waggon when die load broke
down, was killed on the di or, but the child miraculously escaped
without any hurt. A labouring man, who was employed on the
obsess is the neighbourhood, had his thighs and legs dreadfully
n•asbed, and his body severely injured. and is not expected to
weave. Two other working men were much bruised by one 01
