AMUSEMENTS.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean appear at the Royal
Amphitheatre in some of their most favourite characters,
and we have no doubt to crowded houses. Several
first-class concerts also take place during the week.
This evening, a concert, by the members of the Liver-
pool Vocal Union, will be given at St. George's-hall.
Mr. W. T. Best will preside at the organ, and a number
of local favourites will appear in their most charming
songs and glees. The great feature of the concert, how-
ever, is announced tio be the production of Locke's
music to Macbeth. Amongst the performers and
vocalists we may mention Miss Whitham, Mr. E. W.
Thomas, Mr. Delavanti, Mr. Graham, and Mr. Wil-
berforce.

Allsop's Waxworks has great attractions for the visitor ;
for in addition to effigies of royalty and the likenesses
in wax of the eminent of the past days, Tom Sayers and
the Benicia Boy are there. The theatre in which the
beautiful and interesting exhibition of the marionettes
takes place, is to be thrown open several , times each
day. _

The Zoological Gardens are sure to come in for their
share of patronage, and no effort is certainly spared to
deserve, as well us to command success. The grounds
never looked more beautiful than at present. The
zoological collection is numerous and varied, and end-
less attractions abound. The talented Lauri Family
nightly appear in one of their amusing entertaiiments.
During the past week they have been performing an
original comic ballet, entitled "The Rendezvous," which
vvoe nrEnirobla annne for the vourtrayul of their ,',ricals
abilities. The dances interspersed throughout the piece
are of the first class, and do great credit to the genius
of .1).1r. John Lauri. 11.41 Louisa Lauri makes an
excellent miller's daughter, and her ‘ pas Charactere,"
which was all that could be desired fro swh an
accomplished lady, proves beyond doubt that she is
unsurpassed, if evalled, by any on the English stage.
To-night they will appear in # new pantomime, entitled
"The Sculptor's Dream," when syg will, doubtless,
enjoy a good treat.

'STREET ROBBERY.

Robert Giddons, _Anne Britten, Margaret M`Teartue, and
Anne M`Carthy, were charged with having robbed William
Brown, a sailor, of a twenty dollar piece (gold). dr. Bluck
prosecuted, and Mr. Cobb defended Britten. The prosecutor
was going along Great Howard-street, when he *1 the
prisoner Britten, who asked him for money to get drink, and
he took out his purse and gave her threepence. She then took
his purse, which contained the coin, and instantly she called
out for "Joe, Joe," when the male prisoner came up and
seized him; the other prisoners also assisted the man, and all
got away. Henry Connolly, a barman at Cole's public-house,
-VaalThall-read, proved that the prisoner M'Carthy and another

got some drink. The prisoners were sent for trial.
VIOLENT ASSAULT opf AN OLD MAN.
John Conlon, au old R. 4 who resided in a court off
Fredertek-street, charged a young man, named Thomas
Cregan, a salt heaver, who lives in the same house, with
having violently assaulted him. Mr. Black defended. In
the evidence for the prosecution it appeared that on the night
of the 16th the prisoner came into the house in a state of in-
toxication, when the old man said " You are drunk," and this
brought on some words, when the prisoner beat him about the
he4d, slingc'd tigt out of bed, and flung him about, inflicting
serious injuries on him. A surgeon stated that the old man
bad two ribs broken, and had contusions on the face. He was
in a dangerous state for or Fid is in a critical
state still. To Mr. Bluck, he said the ribs raight have been
broken by the falling described. Mr. Bluck called a witness
for the defence, but his Worship said the case was too serious,
and sent the prisoner for trial.
