WILLIAM NICOL, Chairman. Liverpool, November, 1846. STREET ROBBERY.-At the Police-court, yesterday, three men, Thomas Wilson and two others, were charged with knocking down and robbing, in Whitley-street, a man of £1 Is. The offender named could alone be identified, and he was committed for trial. The other two were necessarily discharged. The workmen in the employ of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt, machine makers, Oldham, have raised among them selves £6O, as the commencement of n fund for the esta blishment of a public park in that town. Two or three years ago, the Government offered a thousand pounds for a park at Oldham, if a similar sum were raised by sub scription. Nothing, however, has been done in the mat. ter till the present time. GRAND CONCERT.—We would direct the attention of our readers to the concert announced to take place at the Concert-hall, on Monday next, the 30th instant. The attractions are great, Mr. Sunderland and Miss Whitnall, Mr. Ry a ll a and Mr. Lunt, and last, though not lest, Join Par r y, th e side-shaking John, the inimita bl e John. ' Who wou ld not hear him ? The programme is excellent • but John P arry does not announce hi s songs, which would s omething new. signify that he will treat the Liverpool public with BRITISH WHALE AND SEAL FISHING COMPANY.— The advertisement announcing this important project will be found in another column. It offers the fairest prospects of being amply remunerative to the proprietors, and is founded on an excellent plan. Whales are abun dant in the Arctic regions, and if the business of capturing them be systematically pursued, no doubt very large pro fits will be realised. The prospects of the company are very flattering, and the promoters are gentlemen of the very highest respectability. BOHEMIAN rim BAND.—This talented Corps of musicians are staying, during their sojourn here, at Whiteman'', Brunbwiek Hotel, where they have been daily visited ' by numbers of strangers and admirers of harmony. They have, during the past week, been earn ing the admirati-n of the genuine lovers of fine music. The elarionet playing of Herr Sobreon, and violincello concertante of Herr Grosse, have drawn down thunders of aPPlsue. The efficiency of the whole Company, in. deed, is first-rate, both as solo players and as a band. We observe that tbey are engaged to give a morning cor cert on Wednesdai, at tbeAssembly- rooms, GreatGeorge street, which will enable families and young people, whom the recent severe weather has not permitted to visit the theatre, to enjoy a treat.
