are indebted to those !very respectable adver-
tisement oontractors, Messrs. Vicikers sad Harring-
ton, of No. 2, Cowper's court. Cornhill, for • clear,
bold, handsome sheet conspectus of all the newspaper.
published in L-indou and throughout the United
Kingdom, mounted on canvas and rollers for sospen•
sion in the countlng.honse. We have tested the
accuracy of the details cionneeted with the several
ooanties with which we happen to be familiar, and
Sod them perfectly accurate, even in that respect in
which the very miscellaneous class of joornals intro-
duced by the cheap prom bee rendered it most
difficult to say what could be celled the " political
him" of each. The letter "N" for neutral does not
satisfy the compilers, and they by at indicate even
the religious leaning of some journals, whilst • • prr
lieed to others published in the provinces shows
them to be published daily. The correct name and
character of each paper, the date of its institution,
and the price at which it is published, are given in
every instance, and the whole sheet is so clearly
arranged and brought under the eye, as to afford
all this informaticia so essential to Us advertising

MR. BOTTOM SOUTH'S FIRST AasvAt. CONCERT.
—We beg to remind our readers ttat this cioneert
will take place at our Town-hall on Thursday. As
terse can be ascertained up till to-day, the sale of
the tickets has been most satisfactory. We are glad
of this, because the expense of bnaging first-claas
artists from London is rather considerable, and it
would be a great pity if the attendance was such as
to prevent Mr. Boytco Smith from following out
his intended scheme of having these yearly concerts.
We see daily advertisements in the first page of the
Times announcing the performance of Mr. Sydney
Smith's "Maypole dance," his variations on "This
Austrian Hymn" by the author; Mr. Boytuo
Smith's" Blue Bells of Scotland," lately published
and reviewed in our columns; and his wonderful
" Nightingale and Zephyr," with its sweet musical
cadences that
As though it far were hone aloft,
To where the angels s.ng ;
And murmur'd there by angel voice,
. . . . .

"die sway to soft,

So sweet at mikes the geart-rriiiioe,.
More sileitry note could ne'er be given,
E'en though the song wore breathed in heaven."

"O'er the meadows." The admirable translation of
Gdethe's "Coquet,' eel to music by Mr. B.yton
Smith, is also advertised al one of Mir Rose
gersee's most bnlliant songs, together with her new
variations on the "Carnival of Feoioe" Of Mr.
F. W. Smith's violin playing we spoke last week,
we can only remind our reader, that they will have
a most rare treat—one that can rarely be enjoyed in
the provinces, and we thmk the thanks ot the in-
habitants and a full house, are due to Mr. Boyton
Smith for his kindly endeavour to place before the
people of Lionel some really good manic, executed
by most finished artiste, of whom be will prove one
of the ablest —L. W.

Tug CHIQUI Sensing. —The young Man, Alfred
Newton, alias Henry Taylor, charged with obtaining
Eland a suit of clothes from Mr. W. J. Marsh. tailor,
South-street, under the circumstances reported in this
journal last week, was brought up on reamed before
the Mayor (G. Curiae Esq.). and R. Davis, Esq.-
Mr. Weston proseouted. Mr. Marsh produced his
order book in which prisoner when be grit paid him
• visit and ordered a pair of trousers, wrote his name
and address as "Alfred Newton. The Marine Villa,
Portland." Prosecutor also produced the cheque
which prisoner presented to him, representing it to
be good, on the faith of which be advanced
him LI and let him have a suit of clothes.
When prosecutor had become convinced ti.e4
the cheque was bad, be sent it to Bonifield
and Co., London, and it was returned with •
a ticket attached to it oo winch was Written, "No
account at era County Bank, 21, Lombard-
street." Mr. Weston intimated that at the trial be
should produce one of the bank clerks to prove
prisoner bad no ao.ount there. P.C. Keata spoke to
prosecutor giviag prisooer into his custody at his
(Marsh's) shop on Tuesday evening, Nov. 6th. when
p. teener gave his name as Alfred Newton' and ad-
mitted the cheque was not good. On the way to
the lock-up prisoner said, " Oh, what • fool I
was to some back into this town again." Prisoner
At the time you said the cheque was not good,
did not I say I could get the moor,' by having
it properly advised? P.C. Keats : No, I
heard you. In answer to the Bench, prisoner said
his name wee Henry Taylor, as he admitted at the
previous examination. When asked if be wished to
crose-ezainine prosecutor, be replied, I have many
questions to ask him, bat I shall reserve them till the
triaL" After being duly cautioned, prisoner said he
should reserve his defence, and the Mayor said be
would be committed fur trial at the neat Quarter
Session.. He asked, if he could get bail, what
amount would be required. Mr. Weston said he
should oppose the granting of bail, as prisoner had
been in Dorchester gaol tor nine months for passing
a forged order, and he erectly answered the descrip-
tion of a person advertised in the Her and Cry who
failed to surrender for trial in Yorkshire, when the
grand jury had found a true bill against him.
Prisoner asked Mr. Weston if be had proof of the
Litter part of his statement. —Mr. Weston repliel
no, but the description given eisertly represented
him. —The Bench refused bail. —Prisoner was asked
by the clerk jibe had reason to offer why he should
not be committed for trial. He answered, " I have,
but I have not the proofs now to offer."—He was
then committed for trial and removed. We under-
stsnd that recently Newton has swindled the station-
master at Wool, of 104., and that be has obtained !
from a well-known silversmith of Ludgate-hill,
London, a quantity of valuable goods in the name
of a gentleman of fiberborne. His previous
career, as elicited at the time he was in
custody for passing • spurious cheque at Weymouth,
show him to be • oonsummate rogue, though he is
but yonne in years. A letter without signature or
addreem, but bearing internal evidence of being sent
from Salisbury, showed that Newton had duped
tradesmen of Henstrldge and Salisbury, swindled
the station-masters at Temple Combe and
&abridge. and obtained money by false protestor
from beer-shop keepers. The writer bad made
sarcastic reference to his ability as a swindler and
rogue, intimated to him that he was beyond any
interferenoe and that nothing could Nave him
from the hands of the police. After nine months
hard labour at Dorchester gaol, be no sooner gains
his liberty than he again devotes himself to trend, and
centimes it till an outrageous act again planer him
in custody, and it seems necessary for the safety of
society that be should be awarded a lengthened
of ineereeration.
