His Majesty held a Court at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at his Palace in St. James's, which was attended by The Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Treasury the Secretaries of State for the limine. Foreign, and Colonial Departments the President of the Board of Contruul, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of Trade, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Lord Steward, the Groom of the Stole, the Treasurer and omptroller of the Household, the Earl of Rosslyn.

Sir Although for some time past you have nol been troubled with a letter from Zefa, I can assure you lhat I have not been an idle spectator of passing events.

Since the decease of lhat great public agitator, the Catholic Question, 1 have occupied myself in examining the important question of Foreign Politics, as connected with the war in the East; and it is probable that, upon some fine day, I shall feel inclined to touch upon the sapient speculations of those quidnuncs who pretend to know every body and every thing-, and who, judg MUSICAL MR. NICHOLSON CONCERT. A very numerous audience was attracted to ibe Argyll Kooms yesterday morning to enjoy the performance of this incomparable Flutist, and ihe various trrnts which ihe programme in other respects promised. The Concert commenced with Mr. endlessohn's superb Sinfonia, which wa performed in the finest lyl.

and with gremt spirit by a very efficient band. The Composer himself conductednot by playing the pianoforte, but by marking' the time with the baton a judicious method which we hope soon to see supersede the former. We have already described this Sinfonia, on the occasion of its first performance at the Philharmonic (May 2j). it was heard with constant applause, and is, ill truth, a composition of a very high order. The pieces selected by Mr.

Nicholson were hi- Recollections of Ireland and Am clair de la lune both demanding the full exertion of thoseei-traordinary talents in which he far outstrip any competitor. It would be superfluous at the present time, when (he sav-passing eicellence of Mr. Nicholson's performance Is widely known, to dwell minutely on the magnificent Volume of his tone, on the wonderful velocity of his exftiffortt which may literally be 'aid to be quicker than thought at, again, on ihose exquisite strains of feeling with which fie delights the sense as much as lie before astonished these qualities he displayed on the present occion, and we may confidently appeal lo all who heard him whether any terms of admiration could be adequately expressive of that which his performance excited. His succession of chromatic rnslies, ascending llirouglt two octaves (twenty-five note accomplished in the -pace of two -econds) in one of the variatinns to the second piece, were truly marvellous, almost like rapid gusts of wind, yet they were perfect to a note. In an obligato accompaniment to Sontag's variations on the Swiss Boy, he had another opportunity of delighting his auditors, of which he fully availed himself; this piece was altogether exceedingly effective.

Sontag executed the variations with her usuel delicacy and brilliancy, though apparently affected with a cold. Her duet with Velluti, Questacor, was exqui-itely beautiful; it has frequently been heard before, and the selection of it by thee vocalists shows good taste and a just perception of their THE MORNING POST.

Besides this friendly dispo sition manifested on the part of the two principal KUied Powers, the arrival of a Persian Minister (as dtinounced in our last) afforded of course another sibjecl of great interest at Constantinople. This fvtiit. in all probability, has reference to the late lisnutes between Persia and Russia and should tinnier be now inclined to exert herself against i' rigid exactions of the latter, there can be no lotibt of her efforts proving a most powerful diver- hiii in favour of the cause of the much-injured moman Porte.

The sideboard of Gold Plate, occupying the entire width of one end of the room, contained the same unrivalled collection of nlate as on the former occasion, with the addition of a few other uiec and a profusion of tankards and cups from his Majesty's collection, several of them having representations of different subjects exquisitely sculptured in ivory. In the middle was a large dish of an oblong form, curiously wrought into imitations of birds, beasts and flowers, supposed to be the work of the ancient Peruvians on one of this dish, corresponding' with an Egyptian temple' was a temple supported uy ma rote horses the top of the temple' forming a basin with a superb canopy close to this temple was a tankard with a Bacchanalian group in bold relief, the figure of Pan forming the handle the subject of the corresponding tankard w'is the Relief of Vienna, by John Sodieski. The effect of this splendid diplav was heightened on the present occasion by darkening the windows of the room, and thus excluding the day-light, which made the room appear to oreater advantage.

Yesterday morning at half-past seven o'clock, the Regiment of Royal Horse Guards, under the command of Colonel Hill, marched from their barracks in Hyde Park, headed by the fine hand of the Regiment, and proceeded to Wimbledon Common, where they had a field day. On their arrival on the ground the troops halted, and then formed line, when their Gallant Colonel proceeded to put them through a multiplicity of fine movements, sHch as forming squadrons, half squadrons, deploying on Ihe leading half squadron, advancing in double open columns from the centre forming line, advancing, retiring in open columns from the right of wings, forming clo-e columns left in front, deploying on Ihe leading half squadron, right thrown forward, changed on the right, left thrown half squadrons from Ihe right, formed close columns, deployed into line, advanced in parade, All the evolutions were admirably executed. During the movement of the troops, the band entertained the company assembled on the Common, which, from its being holiday time, was more than usually numerous, with a variety of favourite airs, from the most celehrated composers. The Regiment returned to their barracks soon after twelve o'clock, the band occasionally playing on the road. Don Pedro is said lo have written to England, that in the present condition of the Brazilian finances, and with the pecuniary demmds made upon him by the Governments of France and Great Britain, it will not be in his power for some time to send an expedition against Portugal, hut that he will take the first opportunity of enforcing the rights of his daughter.

The Kains transport, from Valparaiso, on her way home touched at Rio Janeiro. The above transport has on board the crew of the Doris frigate, which was condemned. The accounts received by Ihe above vessel from Valparaiso are of the 16th January, which are old dales. There is great anxiety it in the City for the arrival of the Mexican mail, which is some lime over due. The Court of Common Council, which was held on Tuesday, to consider the recommendation of the Court of Aldermen, that they shoutd deliver in the Accounts of the Income and Expenditure of the City of London, as ordered by the House of Lords, conducted their discussion with cloned doors.

They finnlly decided to present the accounts. The Treaty which is said to be concluded between France and the Republic of llayti appears to be the same as that of which M.

Every year besides, the Republic is to raise a fund of 600,000 franco tor the redemption of the debt. Dreadful Explosiov of a Cormxo Mill. We lament lo have to record another melancholy accideut at the Gunpowder Mills of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, on Hounslow Heath.

Beggars' Oper Reversed. (From a Correspondent.1) When G4v wrote his matchless Beggars' Opera, he thought it sufficiently piquant for the taste of the age and that the public taste was then by no mean we have ahun-danl evidence.

But, if we may judge from the bills of fare with which our dramatic caterers noic furnish us, that which would i-alisfy almost to repletion the stomachs of our ancestors, has not the haul goit necessary even lo tickle the palates of the moderns! No; we must have higher seasoning forsooth Pollus and Lucy must be personated by male in petticotts, and Mi-cate Mis-es must pour forth the tender sentiments of a Machtath, Peachum, or a Lockit, in breeches! If our readers are sceptical with regard lo this wonderful change in national feeling and manners, let them consult the play bill for Saturday next where they will find a new debutante announced as Polly, in the' person of their favourite, Mr. J. Reeve, who we have heard has been for some time studying under Vfi luti, ing from their talk, are much better acquainted with the Duke of Wellington's secrets than the Noble Duke is himself! For the present, however, being rather idly disposed, I shall not enter upon that most intricate subject, but content myself with a few remarks upon the proceedings of certain small politicians, whom, for the purpose of easier discrimination, I shall denominate Grumblers You must not suppose, Sir, that I allude to the good old thick-and-thin Grumblers of the Whig school, for such is not the case. By some unaccountable species of legerdemain the Whigs are at present holding their peace, and the mantle of discontent has fallen upon a handful of Tory deserters, who seem determined to verify the old saying, that proselytes are ever in extremes. Having conceived a deadly and lasting hatred towards the Duke of Wellington and his Colleagues, principally, I believe, on account of the settlement of the Catholic Question, these Gentlemen grunt, and growl, and grumble with the most amusing pertinacity, at every measure which Government may choose to adopt.

As a matter of course, they condescend not to examine into the principles of the objectionable measure, very wisely considering, that, as they have resolved to grumble, it would be useless to reason at all upon the subject Of the loyally and honesty of these persons there can be no doubt, since they take care at all times to inform the world that they are the most loyal and conscientious individuals in existence. And besides, their proceedings attest the truth of the fact for who can be more loyal than they who daily abuse the chosen Ministers of their King who more honest than those who in 1828 described Mr. Peel as a Statesman of consummate ability, and in 1829 set down their former idol, the very same Mr. Peel, as a man utterly deficient in all talent whatever? Enough however as to the character of this party let us turn now to the particular subject of my present letter. The organ of the Grumblers, in its Number of this day, after reviving the ridiculous story about the Duke of Wellington's mission to ihe Courts of France and Austria, makes the following patriotic observations upon ihe subject helP feeling humiliated at Ihe dry fact of the Duke of Wellington setting forth to beg peace at the hands of foreign Princes.

It is the last effort or a feeble mind and a despairing nation. Chatham would not have acted thus Pitt would not have been a political mendicant Perceval would not have answered foreign threats with idle interlerence and personal solicitations. No. England till now was able to command peace. It has fallen to" he lot of the Duke or Wellington to be a pacific Minister from dire necessity a peace-maker from poverty an umpire in quarrel-, which he is afraid to mingle with a military apo-tle with a broken sword, singing p-alms to the 4 discontented spirits of Europe.

Now, Sir, this exquisite bit of grumbling bathos is a fair specimen of the sort of argument which has ornamented your Contemporary's columns for the last six or seven months. Ever since the Duke of Wellington's once favoured Administration became a drum-head Court Martial ever since the once idolized Premier became a Rat," this worthy grumbler has luxuriated in graphic description of our misery and our degradation. According to his account, our power is going and our ruin is coming our trade is broken up, and our manufacturers are broken donn our zoorking classes are no working classes, and the whole country, from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Land's End, is in a stale of starvation Indeed your respectable contemporary, in Ihe excess of his patriotism, has predicted that we are running headlong to the Devil, and that, in a few years, Old England will be bul as the antient mistress of the world mugni nominis umbra All this is without doubt vastly wonderful; but the wonder of the tiling is increased when we consider that your Contemporary is the only man to whom Mesdames the Fates have condescended to communicate the awful secret of our coming destruction. To be serious, however, your Contemporary has too loner carried on his trade of deception with impunity and it is high time, as well for the information of those who are gulled by his croakings, as for the credit of his Majesty's Ministers, that his unfounded assertion should be contradicted. Your Contemporary knows as well as I do, that his statements are wholly without foundation his object in putting them forth is to cast an unmerited odium upon the Duke of Wellington and his Colleagues.

That a certain portion ot our manufacturing interest is at present in a depressed condition, cannot be denied but the temporary depression temporary both in cause and duration, is gradually wearing away, and I feel warranted jn saying that the present state of the country is at once healthy and encouraging. As to your Contemporary's venomous and truly patriotic remarks about the impotency of England, they deserve little attention. No foreign threats" have been uttered in reference to this country, and consequently ihe Duke of Wellington is not compelled to beg peace at the hands of foreign Princes." Ji-doubtedly this grumbling oracle would rejoice were such the case; but, should circumstances call for hostility against Russia, he will find that we are able lo eng-ao-e in war without forfeiting our honour," without plunging thousands ot persons into ruin," and without paving the way to a general convulsion." In conclusion, Sir, I trust that I have said sufficient to prove the ulter worthlessness of your Contemporary's speculation. It is quile evident that in publishing his statements he is influenced only by a vile spirit of hatred towards those whom be formerly affected to idolize and ihe statements of such a man can claim but little credit. As for his predictions of ruin," and convulsion," and so forth, they are only calculated to terrify old women who tremble at the croakings of a raven.

Wednesday, June 10, 18i9. ZETA.

Mademoiselle Blasis imparted the best effect to Bel raggio, and an air from the Messicajii it is to be regretted that so very accomplinhed a singer is not more before the public.

We can enly mention, in addition, the names of Miss Childe, Madame Stocehaijsen, Messrs. Cu-rioni and Begrez, the brothers Hermann, Mow. de Bkmt, and Mr. J.

Cramer, all of whom exerted their talents very effectively, nnd gave unusual brilliancy to this Concert, which may certainly vie with the best of the season. LAW LECTURES. Mr. G. Ansel, of the Middle Temple, commenced his proposed Course of Lectures on the Principles and Practice of the Common Law yesterday evening at Purnival's Inn Hall.

He delivered on thU his introductory address, in which he explained Ihe nature of law in general, and its various kinds, civil, common, and statute he then proceeded to give a brief and interesting history of the law among the ancients, and to trace the remote origin ol our English common law. The several Courts of Justice, the mode of practice, of conducting actions. A-c. formed successive topics of his di-coure, which he concluded with some valuable observations on the cour-e of tudy most advantageous to young students. He was heard with great attention and frequent applause by a nnmerou auditory.

His style of language and the arrangement ef his discourse were excellent, and the only advice we have to offer is, that he should speak more slowly and with a greater degree of pint, by which means he will materially add to the effect of his lectures. We much approve this mode of instruction, which is admirably calculated to impress upon the mind of the student the principles and practice of law; and from the specimen afforded us last evening, we unhesitatingly recommend to the law student an attendance at this course of lectures. CAMBRIDGE TOWN ELECTION. CAMBRIDGE, June 9. The Mayor took his place in the Town Hall, at ten o'clock, attended by Mr.

Sergeant Storks, as his Assessor. Colonel Trench, with his friend, occupied one side of the Bench, and Mr. Wells was on the other side. The precept for the Election, and the other uual documents, were received amidst incessant clamour. Mr.

Alderman Cotton then rose, and proposed hia friend. Colonel Frederick W. Trench. Another Alderman briefly seconded this nomination. Colonel Trench rjse He was once more before his Constituents he was gratified lhat his Majesty, having appointed him lo an office, gave him this opportunity of satisfying the people of Cambridge re-pecting his Parliamentary conduct.

There might be some who felt offended, perhaps, wilh his fate vote on the Catholic Question but he would, if they would allow him, prove to them all that he gave that vote mot conscientiously, as he had already proved it to his friends, on whom he had called, -ince he came to town. He declared to them mod sincerely, as a man of honour, that he voted most conscientiously. It was for the security of the Protestant Church, which wa always most dear to hi- heart, that he gave that vote. He was prepared to prove that to them, if they would hear him but as they would not allow him to go fully into the subject he would content himself with saying, that if they returned him again, he would always support the interest of the people of the borough of Cambridge. After a few minutes, the Mayor asked if there were any other Candidates to be proposed Mr.

Wells rose the clamour was astounding he sat down the clamour did Bot cease he rose again and resumed hu eal from the same cause. TheMAYeRand his Assessor more than once declared that unless silence could be obtained, they should, though reluctantly, adjourn. Mr. ells, after -nnie minutes, proceeded to address the Meeting and by the aid of very powerful lungs imde some of his sentences audible but the continued uproar and occasional squabbles of the rabble interrupted many of them in their passage, and sometimes over helmed him altogether. He proposed himself for the choice of the Electors.

He could have had himself proposed by some of the honet Freemen; he declined it, becau-e he knew what ruin such conduct might bring upon them. He would not expose any poor man to such rik. He stood before them, as he had a right, to offer himself a their Representative. He stood before them upon public grounds, and for the public cause; though he well knew that those who came forward for the people benefit little lor themselves or their families. The Mayor put the question to the meeting whether they would have Colonel F.

W. Trench for their Member The real Electors raised their hands in token of assent. The ayor then put the question in like manner with respect Mr. ells. Many hands were raised in the Hall, but not hy freemen.

The Mayor accordingly declared that the majority was in favour of Mr. Wells. A poll was demanded for Colonel Trench. Mr. ells was understood to decline the poll, but he briefly returned thanks to the meeting for the choice they made of him.

He also took occasion to disdain any intention of saying any thing offensive of Colonel Trench's private life; he believed him to be au honourable man. The warmth of public di-cusion generally carried men beyond the controul over themselves, and he, loo, was sometimes unable In check him-elf. Colonel Trench expressed himself satisfied with the conduct of his Learned Opponent, and added some observations in vindication of his humble conduct. Mr. klls wished them all a good morning, and left Ihe hall.

Colonel Trench was then declared duly elected. ROYAL MATERNITY CHARITY. The friend, and supporters of this truly excellent and deserving Charity celebrated it Anniversary Festival yesterday at the Cily of London Tavern, Ihe venerable Chamberlain of Loo-don (Mr. Clark) presiding on the occasion, in the absence of Ihe Earl of Shaftesbury, who sent a letter to the meeting, stating that his duties in Ihe House of Lords would prevent hi attendance. After the usual toasts were drunk, the Secretary read the.

So extended is its ns-fnlness and benefits, that during the last year 4.253 distressed applicants have been attended to and relieved by (he Institution, being '217 more than in the year preceding. We hope that it- means will also proportionably increase that we may have the pleasure of hearing at the next anniversary festival of this Chanty, that it is enabled still further to extend its blessings to the sober and industrious poor on that occasion too which may he truly said to be the mis.t perilous circumstance af human life, and where attention and beneficence cannot be better employed.
