Red and INAUGURATION CONCERT, old figures. Linsee .e and itiffiy fi(4ti, 5c per gall Saturday night was rendered somewhat remarkable, by the inauzuration of the series of Concerts for the people, George's Hall. Daring the two years that this Hal has been open for musical entertainments, very little attempt has been made, up to the present time, to render it available to the great bulk of the people. The chean .st contint :en of; acid t hall not . prong organ per Council, approached as nearly to the object as a ptlblic body of that character could be expected to attempt ; but , at the same time, the attributes of this great instrument of the Town re scarcely such as to be thoroughly appreciated by un - - - - • .•- cientific ears, and could not but want something of th nterest and attraction which a aried concert Ist pos sess for a general body of None of the other performances in the Hall appeared to have had any re ference whatever to the objects and the convenience of the mass of ti: working people of Liverpool. Indeed, that great body or men and women; fo recreation and advantage such public institutions are professedly de: tined in especial, were left to enjoy their share of St Georges Hall in somewhat the same manner • to use a very much quoted comparison— of Wakefield possessed their goict coins, which they might preserve, admire, and call their own, but were never - nll manner of - costly musi —the children f the Vicar cal enter laments— orios, concerts, and the tE gut up with taste, sulE a witqcheapnes;:in relation to the means of the w •• shillinz 'al entertainments equal in ever tenance of a patron, is carried to an extent which must surely be felt as humiliating by those for whom the patronage is sought. From the highest to the lowest, where this system prevails, there is no soundness in it ; and those who would permanently benefit the working classes, cannot too soon endeavour to emancipate them from it. Does any one believe that if good music and good instruction be provided for those classes, they will not gradually come to,avail of them unless they borrow with some of the cultivation of the upper classes, a little of one of their most absurd and enfeebling usages ? And, if it be true that the working classes do share this idle craving for the patronage of the higher class, is it not a desire to be honestly discountenanced instead of being encouraged? We have been led to make these remarks, because we look upon Saturday's night concert as the opening of a scheme of no light importance to the bulk of our community, and which may, at its very first outset, dispense with some of the questionable resorts of many other popular schemes. It is surely not doing justice to the good sense of the working man to suppose, as seems to be supposed in some other i ns tit u ti ons , th at h e cannot enjoy an excellent and cheap concert unless pe•iodically his musical entertainment be interrupted, while som> titled or wealthy patron addresses to him some vapid and and dreary platitudes about the advantages of education and the superiority of virtue. The performers on Saturday evening were—Mrs. G. Holden, Mrs. Morgan, Miss Wiatt, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Armstrong, vocalists, assisted by Messrs. G. Holden, jun., Hand, Jones, Johnson, and Rowley ; Mr. Best upon the organ, and Mr. George Holden, the musical director, on the piano -forte. The following was the PROGRAMME SOLO -GRAND ORGAN-MR. W. T.

BEST, Nearly all the performers, it will be seen, are established favourites of high reputation in Liverpool, whose qualifi cations need no description from us. It is enough to say that all exerted themselves to the utmost to gratify their audience, who testified unmistakeable approval by con tinuous applause and frequent encores Miss Wiatt made a first appearance, and was decidedly successful. Natu turally somewhat ne rvous at first, she gained confidence gradually, and displayed a voice of sweetness, flexibility, and no inconsiderable degree of power. In her songs of The Postman's 'Knock, and Kathleen Mayourneen," she received enthusiastic encores. The duet " Hear me, Norma," by Mrs. Morgan and Miss Wiatt, received a well-deserved encore, as also did Mrs. G. Hol den's " Bid me discourse," and Mr. Armstrong's "Life's dearest hope." Mr. Wilson sung " The Wanderer" with taste and feeling, but his voice appeared deficient in power. Mrs. Morgan substituted an air "There's a path by the river!' for the Irish ballad " Savourneen Deelish," a substitution which surely was not an improvement. The organ performances of Mr. Best were a splendid feature in the entertainment. Mr. George Holden's accompani ments do not require our praise, and yet cannot be THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. allowed to pass without some distinguishing word for their cultivated taste and skilful execution.

I went exactly at eight o'clock to the Hall—that is, I vas at the door at that hour—and, certainly, I never, on any occasion, beheld such a sight. The evening was beautifully fine, and many hundreds of people were col lected about the doors. The latter were closed, and not a little—indeed a great deal—of excitement - prevailed. On enquiry, I found that the Hall was over-flooded by, a sea. of human beings, and that the doors had to be closed, (but I believe they were subsequently re-opened, and a few more persons admitted). About the door of the entrance to the Grand Hall, and on the lobby (if I may call it so) there were at the moment over 500 out were never persons, about half the number being elegantly attired to use. ThilS. hft,l .01 females. the pushing, and shouldering, and squeez was enormous, but carried on in a good- Id spirit. The ladies pushed along with great fort', -o.as, to no purpose, for in they could not get. By the crowd had increased a bout thi s place to over 1,2 - 00:and the steps down to the pronlenade in front of Lime-street were literally covered with a swarm of human beings—all well dressed and respectable —who deplored their misfortune of not being able to gain imission. Had I been at Sebastopol, I might, perhaps, much for cost; and no e ff ort 'e got into it, but there wa s no suc h c h ance of getting n , .to amuse and improve into St. George's Hall. The rushing of new corners every the few leisure hours of those to whom the assistance, moment up the steps, and the despairing retreat of others the appliances, and the cheapness of a public institution down them, was, in some measure, ludicrous enough. I are absolutely indispensable. After such a length of time was swept by au irresi2tihle rush of human beings towards had elapsed, and this great blank in the uses of St. George's the north end entrance door, and was nearly pressed to Hall was still unfilled, the idea occurred to a spirited and death. Such a scene as I beheld there—about a thousand enterprising individual, that the most practical method of people pushing Most furiously towards the door. Having giving the people some share in the advantages of the some regard for my limbs and body, I got out of this as building, would 'be by a continued series of trionstre weekly soon as I could—and that was not an easy task—=and then t I • took a philosophical walk—outside of the crowd of course—from the North-end, fronting Lime-street, and to P the South-east gate. From two to three thousand were there, all in great agitation because they could not get in, but consoling themselves by saying, " Well, its not the last night —we will have it all the season." One gentleman proposed that a circle should be formed round the plat form, and that they should get up a concert on their own account, a proposition that met with hearty cheers, but the proposer lacked the spirit of the inside manager, and the outside speculation proved a failure. I remained duo° up to half:past nine o'clock, and I can with truth say, that over 2,000 persons, all 'nest respectable, went away, not being able to gain admission. Such etas the outside of St. George's Hall on Saturday evening. ,ne advantages of mus. respect to those of other institutions, and at a scale of prices meeting the convenience of the very poorest classes of our working people. As a matter of course, the night most suitable, if not, indeed, the only suitable night, for this purpose, was that of Saturday, when the working classes have , generally an hour or tw o t o spare, and have around them so many competing temptations, winning them, too often, to throw away their only night of recrea tion in excess and pernicious folly. The whole of the arrangements necessary for the purpose were completed sufficiently quickly to allow of the series being commenced at the opening of the established " season,' and, accord ingly, the inauguration of the series of People's Concerts took place in St. George's Hall, on Saturday night last. So tar as a crowded audience can constitute success, the first of the series was a complete triumph. The doors were thrown. open at half-past seven, as the concert was to commence at eight ; but long before that hour the —. northern entrance was completely blockaded by a throng Two very drg-Idelting fellows, named Willirn Corri of people.

A REVEREND GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH STEALING A PLUM. On Friday, at Hailshain, Sus Sex, the Rev. Sir John Culme Seymour, Bart:, and J. H. C. Seymour, Esq., his son, were charged, the • former with stealing one plum valued at ld, and the latter with stealing two plums valued at 2d, and one peach valued at 4d, the property of Henry Winchester. I t appeared that the complainant Winchester occupies a garden attached to Herst Monceaux Castle, and visitors are in the habit of frequenting it to purchase fruit. On the Ist of September the Hey. Sir J. Seymour and his son %vent to this garden, intending to purchase some fruit. They called for the gardener, but he did not come, and while they were waitinz they picked, as above stated, three plums and one peach between them. The gardener then made his appearance, and they went up to him and stated that they had picked some fruit, and desired to know how much they had to pay. The gardener was very angry at their picking the fruit without his leave, and was so excited that lie refused to listen to any explanation. The defendants assured him that they came to purchase the fruit. and had not the slightest intention Of robbing him, but nothing would satisfy him, and he brought this charge against the defendants. He said if they had rung the bell, some one would have come to them. The chairman said the bench quite absolved the defendants from any intention of stealing the fruit, but there was a degree of impropriety in their conduct in not waiting until the gardener appeared. He should t h erefore convict them in the penalty of Is and costs for improperly taking the fruit. Some surprise was manifested at the decision. THE MERCHANT SIIIPPINa ACT A case has lately arisen which has excited some attention amongst the mercantile ummuni'v in London, and will probably receive attention from the Board of Trade.

The captain was sent fur Trial at the civil sessions there on a pretended charge of wilf u l assault or wounding.

(BEFORE MR. SANDS.) EXTENSIVE PLUNDER.—Francis Badly, a boy about 18 years of age, was charged with having stolen about £4.5 worth of wearing apparel from- the shop of Mr. Earp, tailor, Whitechapel, and Martha Badly, the boy's mother, was charged with receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. Scaife and M'Culloch, detec tives, were examined, and from their evidence it appeared that, on the 2nd of September, Mr. Grundy, a pawnbroker in Richmond-row, informed them that he had received some articles of wearing apparel in pledge from the female prisoner, and he suspected she had not come properly by them. The officers followed the No. 4 court, Christian-street, where she woman to They could not find out where she worked, nor where the boy worked; at last, they found out that the boy had been employed at Mr. Earp's, Whitechapel, for about seven weeks, but had left about three weeks ago. On searching the house, the officers found a great number of pawn tickets of property, to the amount of £45, which the prisoners had pledged. The property consisted of coats, vests, trousers, &c. They also go t a stock in the place, whic h had been stolen from Mr. Earp's. Thompson said he got a key in the boy's pocket, which opened a box, in which he found 31 pawn tickets, issued by 14 pawnbrokers, and these were for coats, trousers, . Mr. Robert Nisbitt, foreman to Mr. Earp, an the boy was in the employment as porter, for seven weeks ; he had free access to the clothes, but was not allowed to take or remove aoy thing. He identified a variety of property, which was produced by several pawnbrokers, and the prisoners were identified by boys from the pawnshops, as the persons who pledged the property. The bay, in reply to the charge, said he pledged the goods. The woman admitted having pledged some of the things, but added that she got them from her son, who Informed her that he had purchased them. They were sent for trial. vests, &c STATE OF TRADE IN MANCHESTER The following is a monthly report of trade it Manchester:— The action of this market since" the date of our last monthly circular, has been of a changeable character ; and although it cannot be said to have maintained th. general:activity of some preceding months, yet the transa actions of the present one have been on a very consi derable scale, arising from fresh operations and pre viously existing contracts. And it must be remembered that the month of September is always a critical one, involving as it always does much anxiety attending the result of the harvest. Moreover, too, in reference to its position in former years, when the absence of the present facilities for intercourse, both at home and abroad, re garded it, with that of March, as the two most important months of the year. It began well, as possessing the attributes attaching to the influence of a very favourable change in the weather. It exhibited not only symptoms of improvement, but assumed comparative reality. A similar improvement, arising from the same cause, was occasioned in Liverpool, with regard to cotton. This state of things continued until about the 16th, when indisposition was shown on the part of buyers to operate, from an apprehension that more stringency in the money market, in the opinion of many was inevitable; and that the high prices then demanded could not be real Ned. At that period active operations became comparatively suspended, and continued so until about the 22nd and 25th, when, in consequence of the Bank of England not having raised its discounts, and previous accounts from the United States as to the present and future value of cottotr, confidence became restored in both markets. A very large business has since been done in cotton; and to-day quotations represent, the value of that article at least l-16d to id per lb higher than it was a month ago in nearly all qualities : and we are led to entertain no expectation of prices, during this year at least, being materially lower. We therefore calculate that ' the present prices of both goods and yarns cannot undergo much declension; but admitting that from some adverse influenceithey may be temporarily depressed, yet even then an opinion prevails that they would not permanently deviate much from the present rates. We cannot, how ever, disregard the characteristics of the money market, which in its present position is calculated still to produce apprehension, and to excite feelings'of an injurious tend- Neing that the rates of discount are in Paris 6 per :nt., in Hamburg 9 per cent., 6 per cent. in Berlin, and in Vienna 5 per cent., with a probability that it will be higher, and that the Bank of England may in consequence be compelled to advance its rates. These several causes must exercise their accustomed influence. The demand during the month has extended to both home and export purposes, and the scarcity of stock applicable to both would appear to refer more particularly to the latter. Taking the result as to both, the _stocks are exceedingly ,light, with the exception of some descriptions of domes tics and 40-inch gold and shirtings for instance, which have been for some time not only very unremunerative, but their manufacture attended with actual loss, yet the generality of productions continue to be favourable. We note as instances 7 Bths and 9 Bths printers, 9.Bth and 6.4ths maddapollarns, &c., upon which an advance—and in some instances a material one—has to be paid.

The advance was to some extent unexpected, although it had been reported for ten days previously that stocks were low, and that the wants of consumers were rather pressing, most of the manufactures into which this metal enters having been very brisk all through this year; and it is stated that for the last ten days orders in these various branches have been increasing.

From the district there is nothing new to report. The quarterly meetings of the ironmasterz take place next week, their occurrence on this occasion being; rit the very earliest period at which they can be held. Until these assemblies have passed over, it is impossible to form any opinion ns to the manner in which the resolution at the trade meeting last week is likely to be supported. The advance in the rate of discount comes most inopportunely, for the trade is just now in that peculiarly sensitive condition, when any pressure of that kind would be sure to be considerably felt. There was only a small attendance at our Exchange, and very little business -was done ; but the feelings appearetl to he that the trade has received a further check ; at least that the needy makers, finding greater difficulty in procuring acdonitnodation, and obliged to go on at the works, will be forced to concede to lower terms than they have yet been necessitated to accegt. Some of the pig masters are almost certain to find themselves in that condi tion, for the make is rather beyond the consumption, and prices for hot-air, though quoted at £4 2a 6d to £4 ss, are really very c , nsiderably lower for a very fair quality of iron; in fact, this quotation may be said to ba nominal, inasmuch as we have heard of rates as low as £3 12s Gcl, and have reason to believe that this is not the lowest figure. We observe, too, that the stocks of pig iron are greater than they were a fortnight ago. Cold-blast and Shropshire pigs both maintain their price.

AGRICULTURAL 013,ERA.TIoNS We have now arrived at the beginning of October. Nature has nearly completed her round of produc ing operations. The manufacturers of the nation's food, by the numerous appliances of art, science, and hard unbending labour, have housed the golden produce of their fields. Upon a question of so much importance as that of the principal mate rial entering into the aaily consumption of the people, and upon the yield of which depends the healthy or otherwise imperfect action of trade and commerce for the nest twelve months, it- were well if some more certain means than those at present ppssessed were devised for ascertaining something like the true fact s of the case Ag r i cu l ture i s fast being reduced to an ex science, and something more exact than loose or lucky guesses at results might reason ably be expected. The past seasons, since the seed was committed to the ground have been fitful, the weather uncertain—heat and cold, rain and sunshine, often visiting us at- periods um: looked far, and when least expected. On the coldest soils, the most retensive clays, and in the most unpromising situations, favoured by the uninterrupted flue weather at the-beginning of the month, harvest operations have now been corn pleted. The breadth sown has been greater, and the'grain has been found plumper, and of a finer quality than had been anticipated, much, never theless, is found to have suffered under the adverse influences of the summer, and is, Consequently, in bad condition.
