MUSIC IN LIVERPOOL.

Nature Was so terribly afflicted with water on the
brain whet the Allliet feSti*al was giren at the gardens,
that hundreds anxious to support the hind vierii deterred,
from attending, and the poor widow of the great Chef
d' Orchestre suffered a heavy loss. She does the Liver-
pool admirers of her husband justice in again coining
amongst them. As any warring of the elements, and
baptismal inclination of vapours will not affect the
gludi'erice, Well covered in the magnificent Philharmonic-
hall, tliheie the totkeres Will be gibed, the attendance is
certain to be, as it ought, overwhelming. We wilt not
iterate the wherefore that Madame Jullien's appeal
should be worthily answered, it is sufficiently
appre_
ciated and recognised.
The programme for the two concerts on Friday even_
ing and Saturday afternoon oat ,is well arranged.
Prince Galitzin will again wield the, baton, and will
introduce, for the first time here, some of his vocal
compositions, Which elsewhere 6vo dchieVed as decided
a success as his instrumental pieces did here. Ilk,
Poole is to be the songstress—an announcement that
will gladden many—she renders ballads so beautifully
and sweetly. the chords of the society will generously
give their efficient services; and there are several other
equally attractive features for the entertainmerfts, for
which we take the liberty of referring our readers to the
advertisements.

'"rOn the 25th of this month the eighth subscription
conceit of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society Will take
place, when the principal vocalists Will be Mac We.
Titjens, Signor Valsovani, Signor Vialetti, and Signor
Giuglini.

. On the Ist of October a powerful and extensive opera
company will make their appearance at the Theatre
Royal in an opera by Verdi, unknown to Liverpool
audiences—" Macbeth " in which Madame Viardot
will perform the part of the terrible (Wen, the parts of
Ifireboth and Banquo being entrusted to Signori Dragone
and Ciampi.
On the-next evening Madame Grisi and Signor Mario,
with other singers, part of the opera company, will
assist at the ninth concert of the Liverpool Philharmonic
Society, which has fortunately been arranged not to
clash with the operatic performances as it did last year.
On Wednesday, the 3rd, Madame Grisi appears in
" Lucretia Borgia"—one of her greatest parts ; Mario
will be the Gcnnaro, and Madame Viardot Garcia the
Orsini, in a very strong cast.
After an interval of one evening, equally convenient
to the singers and the public, Madame Grisi gives the
part of Norma, with which she has,been so long, and so
completely identified, as almost to have obliterated all
recollection of her great predecessor in the character,
Madame Pasta.

In the course of the folloiving week or fortnight five
other operas will be given, among them "Don Gi9vanni,"
"Martha," " Trovatere," and " Orfee
The tenth Philharmonic concert Will take place on the

16th, when. Madame Clara Novello will take leave of
the Liverpool public in Haydn's charming oratorio, the
" Creation."

We may expect other csncerts during the time, but
these may suffice for our present announcement.

SHIP DESERTION By SAILORS IN LIVERPOOL AND
OTHER. PORTS.--The select- committee of the House of
Commons which sat on the question of shipping, during
the recent session of Parliament, have just issued an
able and elaborate report on this important subject. Jt
is classed under various heads, and under that of " deser-
tion by sailors," we notice a paragraph which shows
how much this port is in advance of others in the
management of sailors in this respect. The report states
that—" The offence of desertion, after the seamen have
signed articles, has been but little abated, except in
Liverpool, where, in consequence of the appointment of
a superintendent (Mr: Henry Murphy) armed with
power to punish offenders; the desertions at that port,
Which in 1854 were 1872, and in 1857 amounted to.
1716, fell in 1858 to 492, and in 1859 to 517." This
shows the care taken by the Laid Marine Board of the
gbippine: interest of the ,port, and the efficiency of the
officer that they have appointed td carry out their views
in this and other respects, connected with the shipping
of Werpool.
