PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CONCERT.—The fifth oubscrip tion concert of the season took pl ace l as t n i g ht at the Phil harmonic Hall. In addition to an attractive programme, the claims upon the musical cognoscenti and the fashionable circles of Liverpool consisted in the performances of a unique corps of vocalists, and the usual i ns t rumen t a li s t s o f the Phil harmonic orchestra. The chief solo performers were Madame Grisi, Madame Gassier, Signor Mario. Signor Lorini, and Signor Susini. Such an array of exotic and local talent, com bined with the judicious selection of pieces, could not fail to draw together an audience at once numerous and tasteful ; and it was gratifying to see the splendid hall filled to overflowing by such a galaxy of beauty and fashion as graced the concert of last night. To offer commen dation of the brilliant talents and high musical culture of Madame Grisi, at this time of day, would be justly open to charge of supererogation, and we shall content ourselves by saying in respect to her, that her execution is as ready, certain, and brilliant, as it was when many summers sinee she first wooed the popular ear. She still commands the same thrilling organ by which she cap tivated and enthralled her listners, and still exercises over them the same magic influence, which, from the first, all were proud to acknowledge a characteristic of her powers. M. Mario is another artist who needs no commendation from our pen. His splendid organ confers on him such means of melodious captivation as have earned for him a world-wide renown, and in saying that last night, so far as the opportu nities afforded by a miscellaneous concert went, he fully jus tified the high opinion formed of him, he was warmly received, and sang with spirit and refinement. Of the new appear ances, considering the brief period elapsing between the ter mination of the concert, and our period for going to press, it would be improper to say any more than to offer a general commendation of their skill and will; they all evinced a dis position to please, and were eminently successful in the effort. WHAT DETECTIVE OFFICERS SEE ON THEIR " WAY TO CHAPEL."—Officers Povey and McCulloch, of the detective i force, brought up two " villanous-looking" rogues, named Thomas Cooper and James Jones, at the Police Court, yester day, on suspicion. Povey said that a little after six o'clock, on Sunday evening, he was in the neighbourhood of the Sir Charles Napier public-house, near Parliament-fields, when they saw the prisoner Cooper " dodging about." They watched his movements "from information they had about him," and when all the church and chapel bells had ceased ringing at half-past six o'clock, they saw him go a little way across the fields, and then return to the prisoner Jones. The two toge ther then commenced a minute investigation into the state of the back-doors of sundry houses. The detectives, un able to resist their admiration of such industrious spirits, resolved to " make their acquaintance," and introduced them selves, in rather a summary manner, by apprehending the in vestigators. Upon searching their pockets they found con cealedin them 12 skeleton keys, two pick-locks, and a "jemmy," which at once confirmed the lingering suspicion which they had entertained that the parties were scientific " cracksmen." Jones, with a most innocent face, told the bench that he had " been a walk into the country, and, in getting over a hedge, found them things (the housebreaking tools) in a ditch." (Laughter.)—Cooper said," Was it likely, Mr. Pores, I should come back again to where you were, if I intended any harm 5" Povey : You did not know me, .or you would march off in quick sticks. (Laughter.)--Cooper: Oh, I knowed you well enough, you in disguise (Laudgiehtger.s)e ?—PoveyMr . R'y : No berghr; I h (the clerk)ad m to y sd P u o n vey a ; Were that we were on our way to thapel.

Imported goods left on the Dock Quays longer than 48 hours after landing, and goods for Export or other purposes remaining on the Quays so as to cause obstruction, may now (as was before the case with respect to Timber) be removed and warehoused by the Trustees, and can be restored to their owners only on the pay ment of expenses, and in case of default there is a power of sale for recovering such expenses. This additional remedy is, more over, not to affect the former taw as respects penalties. All vessels are now required to keep such a quantity of cargo or ballast on board as to enable them to be forthwith removed in safety, in case of accident, or when required for despatch of business. Penalty .f5O. The Harbour and Dock Masters have now also the power of directing the removal of vessels in a Dock, or from one Dock to another, and their position, loading and discharging therein, and in case of neglect may themselvesremove the same, charging the owners with the expenses. Vessels on which any tonnage or other dues may be owing, and vessels damaging Dock works, may now be detained until dues paid, or damages satisfied. Under former Acts the Shipowner had a lien for freight on goods discharged into the Dock Warehouses, in the same manner as if they had remained in the ship, but doubts have been enter tained whether this privilege extended to any other his lawful claims of lien, such as for salvage, jettison, and in cases of dis puted rights of property, &c. This doubt is now removed, to the considerable benefit of Shipowners. The Harbour and Dock Masters are now protected in the exe cution of their duty, by the imposition of a penalty of on all persons obstructing or impeding them, or disobeying their lawful orders, or using abusive or offensive language. Additional powers have been given for facilitating the collection of Dock Dues, and preventing evasion. The 60th and 125th Sec tions of the Customs Act of 1853, providing for the delivery to the Collector within fourteen days next after the discharge inwards, and the clearance outwards, of all vessels at Liverpool, correct lists or manifests (in the former case), and transcripts of mani fests (in the latter case), comprising full particulars of all free goods imported or exported, are now repealed as respects the Customs, and re-enacted in the Dock Act, with the addition of being extended to all goods, whether dutiable or free. It will he necessary, therefore, to take notice, that from and after this day all such lists, &c., are to be deposited, not at the Custom-house, as heretofore, but at the Dock Office, and it is requested that they may be so deposited at the " Check Office," on the ground door of that building, where they are now examined by clerks expressly appointed to such duty. The penalty (x 620) for not duly deliver ing such lists, &c., is also made to attach, not, as before, to the wilful evasion only of such dues, but to any neglect or omission to pay them, and may he enforced as well against principals in houses of business as their clerks or servants, and the magistrate on the hearing of any complaint is empowered to call for the production of cargo books, bills of lading, or other documents relating to the cargo of any ship mentioned in such complaint.—By order of the Dock Committee, DANIEL MASON, Secretary.
