MUSIC.

LIVERPOOL PIIILTIARSIONIC FESTIVAL.
LIVERPOOL, TCZSDLI.
The series of performances for the opening of the
New Concert Hall, commenced list night with a con-
cert. The performers were Mesdames Viardot Garcia,
Albotd, Jetty do Treffz, the two Corbaris, the Misers
Williams, and Madame Macfarren, Signor Tagliafico,
Carl Forties, BartoHui, and Polinini. \lcier on the
French horn, and Piatti on the violoncello, were the
instrumentalists. The band performed the overture
" Der Frieschute" and a manuscript overture, com-
posed expressly for the occasion by Benedict, who
oondeceed it. The vocal selections were from
"F' " "Don Giovanni," " Biomes e Faliero,"
n • ." Cesmeentols,""Freischein," "Faust,'
"Lea Heguenots," "Nino."
The band was under the direction of the local dine-
tor, Mr. Hermann, "and although he is an excellent
artiste, and had a choice selection from Costa's band,
still the result showed that the instrumentalists were
not quite themselves in the absence of Costa. The
diminuendos and erettendos were not so well gra-
duated as when Costa conducts.
Although the vocalists were, with scarcely an ex-
ception, in good voice, yet everything went flat. The
encores were few, and it seemed impossible to route
the audience to an encouraging excitement. Alboni
seemed to bare made the great hit of the evening,
she being a decided favourite in Liverpool, as in every
other place. She was twice encored.
This morning the Oratorio of " Elijah" was given,
with Garcia, Catherine Hayes, the Misses Williams,
Herr Formes, Lockey, Machin, and Benson as prin-
cipal vocalists. The band and chorus numbered 320
performers. Benedict conducted. S. perfect had been
the training of the chorus, that the concerted pieces
were executed so smoothly and in such unerring time
that they went as one voice. The band exhibited more
care than last eight, being under the direction of a
conductor in whom they had confidence; and alto-
gether we should say that, out of London, the
magnificent choruses and wonderful instrumen-
tation of this great oratorio were never heard.
more perfectly. Garcia last night did not make the
impression that was anticipated, but this morning she
completely roused her audience. They at mica re-
cognised the great genius of the artiste, and in the
aria, Wait patiently for him," she raised a
vehement encore ; and in all her recitatives she met
with spontaneous applause. Catherine Hayes sang
the opening solo in the second part, "Hear ye,
Israel." She was in excellent voice and made a rather
favourable impression. The Misses Williams assisted
in the concerted mug... Herr Formes sung the music
allotted to Elijah, and excepting that his Beef&
was imperfect, which rendered him nervous, ho made
a most efficient representative of the Prophet. He
received the greatest applause for his rendering of
the air " 0 Lard it is enough."
Mario was to have sung the tenor solo, " Then
shall the righteous," but we understand that Mr.
Lockey, to whose part (Obadiah) it belonged, would
not give it up. The disappointment of the audience
was grew, many of whom were very anxious to hear
the great tenor in sacred music. Messrs. Machin and
Benson had little to do, and merely assisted to
strengthen the array of names.
This evening ttere will be a concert, at which
Grisi, Mario, and Lablache will appear. They sang
last night at Manchester, and to-night will be their
first appearance here.
The concert to.night is expected to be very brilliant,
for in Liverpool no attraction can equal Grigg and
Mario.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUBT.

OLD COURT.—YESTERDAY.
Bums sus Itamana.
Resent' AT THE EASTZIII( COUNTIES RAILWAY.
Thomas Poosy, 36, labourer, was indicted for stealing a
quantity of erne tabaret, valued at 131., the property of the
Eastern Counties Railway, and Samuel Jones, 49 Joseph
Lucas, 43, and James Thompson, 39, the three .lut-man-
tioned prisoners surrendering to take their trial, were in-
dicted for feloniously receiving the property in question,
knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Battening. and Mr. Cockerell conducted the prosecu-
tion ; Par. Mliahon appeared for Povey, and Messrs. Peen-
delifilt.raTna and mor*lft 4f."46,1 ti!. 'ehtr ;:tbonati.
It appeared in evidence that on the 2nd June a parcel of
goods, among which was the piece of tabula in question,
was despatched by the Eastern Counties Railway_ front
Braintree, addressed to Messrs. Weaker and Co.,
street, Finsbury. Finsbury. The train arrived in due nurse at the
Shoreditch station, on Sunday morning, the 3rd June, and
it was moved off the main line, and remained there until the
felltswing morning, when, upon the train being unloaded, it
was discovered that Means. Warlters's parcel bad been
opened, and the piece of taboret stolen therefrom. The
prisoner Pony was employed upon the railway, and hfore had an opportunity et takieg the property, butt there
was no distinct evidence when or how it was removed. In
consequence of inquiries, however, that were made by In-
spector Shsekell, who is new engaged in the service of the
company, the whole of the prisoners were apprehended, and
by his subsequent exertions the circumstances connected
with the robbery
_were discovered.
Sergeant Takla deposed that on the 29th June he went
along with Mr.Shackell to the shop of Messrs. Hampton and
Russell, in Leicester-square, and enquired of the shopmsn
what was the price of the prce of tabaretwhieh he saw in the
window. The shopman replied that it was 3s. oa. per yard, and
he added that it was " very cheap" at that price. He saw a
gentleman in the shop and informed him that the tabaret
had been stolen, and he then inquired how they became pos-
sessed et it, and he was informed that they had purchased it
of a Tenon named Jones. Upon receiving this information
he took the prisoner Jones into custody, and inquired of him
if he had sold any tabaret lately in Leicester square, and he
replied that he bad, but said he had forgotten the price he
received for it. Ho then told him that the article had been
stolen, and asked him where lie got it from, and he refereed
him to Lucas, whom he accordingly took into custody,
and upon his questioning him regarding the stolen
property he laid he had got it from Thompson,
the fourth pdeoner„ and on his being taken
into custody, he said that Pony had brought the
anion to his house to sell, and that, knowing nothing of
the value of such things, he had applied to Lucas and Jones.
Poesy was than taken into custody, and on his being in-
formed that he was charged with stealing the tabaret, he
admitted that he had taken it to Thompeon to sell, but said
that it had been given to him by a man named Bolton, who
was also employed upon the railway:
Shackell confirmed the evidence given by Teskle, and also
produced a bill of parceLs given by Mears. Hampton and
Co. to Jones, by which it appeared that they had given
Is. 3d. a yard for the article which was valued by the mans-
facture: at se. per sued.
George Bolton, the person referred to in the evidence '
Teakle, deposed that there was no truth in the statement
made by__Povey, that he had gives him the tabard.
Mr. W. Hampton was next called. He deposed that hell
carried on the business of anupholsterer in Leicestereguare.l
and that lee purchased the article produced of the moons,
Jones. The number of yards appeared by the bill of parade
to be 381, but the actual quantity was 40 yards.
I The Recorder asked why the exact quantity was not stated.
Mr. Hampton replied that a portion of the tabeoct was
stained, and that was not included.
The Recorder inquired what price he gave for it.
Mr. Hampton said Is. 3d. per yard.
The Recorder—Then was et " very cheap " at 3s. ea.?
, The waxen said he was not in the way when that pries
I was asked. He should have sold it much cheaper.
The Recorder here gave directions that on the allowance
of expsuses to the witnesses, Me. Hampton should not be
included.
Mr. Hannane remarked that his conduct had been most
improper, and was well deserving the censure cut upon it
by the court, and he at the same time observed that in a
robbery of a most extensive character brought before that
court a few sessions back • Monies facility appeared to have
been given by persons in an apparent station of respects-
bility for the disposal of the stolen property.
I The Recorder said that, in thL instance, there appeared to
be very little distinction between the case of Jones and that
of the witness Hampton.
Mr. Hampton declared he bad given the full value of the
The Reorder said he bad no business to have bought it at
Tunder the circumstances.
his being the ease for the prosecution,
Mr. Metcalfe submitted that there was nothing to go to
the jury against Lucas, for whom he appeared. He was
sot proved to have made a single false statement, and
the stolen property had never been shown in his p..ssession.
The Recorder said that the case was certainly in • legal
point of view very slight against the prisoner, and he at the
same time obearvad that although a great deal of pains had
evidently been taken to get up the prosecution, he was
rather surprised that all the intermediate parties should have
been placed at the bar' and that the person who eventually
purchased the property should be mad* a witness.
Mr. Hampton begged to be allowed again to state that the
article was damaged, and he considered he had given the
'full value for it when he paid fifteen pence a yard.
The Recorder (with warmth)—'then why did you ask
3s. 9d. for the same article and represent it as very cheap
The more you stir in the matter in the more unfavourable
light your conduct appears. You will not have your ex-
peens, and I recommend you to consider it good advice not
to be connected with such a transaction *gals, and to bo
more prudent in future.
The prisoner Nosy was then sentenced to be transported
for seven years.
