AMUSEMENTS.

REYNOLDS'S ST. GEORGE'S HALL SATURDAY EYENOG
CoNCERTS.—The concert announced for this evenig
presents, perhaps, a greater variety of attractions than all
which have preceded it. Among the principal pertorteert
are Miss B. Stewart, of the Sacred Harmonic Society fied
Exeter Hall Concerts, London, Miss Landon, Mr. A. St'
Alban, of the English and Italian Operas, Drury Lane, 01
51r. E. Cuzner, of Chester. Of these artistes, some are ve%
to a Liverpool audience, although enjoying a high and well
deserved metropolitan reputation. The success of
Landon in Liverpool, both as a singer acid actress, is We'
known, and may be now considered as safely establish
beyond the reach of cavil. In addition to these and (AV
singers—to the organ performances of Mr. Best, and ti
piano accompaniments of Mr. Browne—a glee and madrig/
chorus, well trained and under the direction of Miss Lando°
will form a very attractive feature. We may express'
hope that the spirited attempt which Mr. Reynolds bef,
inaugurated, and under so many difficulties carried out tbilel
far, will be appreciated, and fully supported by that goi!1
class, to supply whom with the enjoyment of cheap sod
good music it was undertaken.

At the Theatre Royal the pantomime, and 11
the Amphitheatre the Sardinian Equestrian Comp fl
have still attractions enough to draw large audiences. "
have, however, to call especial attention to an announce'
ment on the part of the management of the The'tfl
Royal, that early in the ensuing month the public of Liverre
will be afforded an opportunity of enjoying the perfornuttt
of an operatic company, as remarkable for some of the nalo.ej.,
which bead its roll of members, and as perfect in all 1"
arrangenients as Any which has ever appeared in the tows'
In conjunction with Messrs.° Cramer, Beale, and Co.
London, Mr. Copeland habc-zaznd: on opril,o

theLi 9th
verpe;
a series of Italian operatt, on
February. The principal natnet. .among the performers es:
those of Madame Grisi,
even gal,
.a name to conjure UP'
audiences wherever it is heard ; Berti, gad;
moiselle Amedei, Mademoiselle Sedlazek, and "Ma`a
Gassier, The latter a singer who has attained, 411 as,lt
i,;iie
,yl
time, an almost unequalled amount of popn~
Signor Volpini, Albicini, Loriui, Mr. Tenii.•
and our own successful townsman, Mr. Croft, M°'
sieur Gassier, and Herr Carl Formes, the latteft
beyond all comparison, the first bass singer upon till
stage. Many other names appear in the announceme°4
almost equally deserving of distinctive mention. The orchesire
and chorus have been selected from those of the Royal Itaii°°
Opera and her Majesty's Theatre, and will, we believe, be 15
every respect unexceptionable. With such inducements it
scarcely be doubted that the undertaking of the managerner
will be adequately supported. An opera precisely the same°
every respect as that which never fails to crowd a theatre te,
the vicinity of the Haymarket, and to which every provincist
in town is certain to hurry, can hardly fail to attract e°
audience large enough to represent our Liverpool communiti.
At the same time it cannot be denied that on more than ell
occasion efforts equally spirited 'on the part or the manageine°
have not met with the success they deserved ; and a sing°llt
.
feeling of indifference to anything actually within reach I',
kept many from enjoying in Liverpool an opera quite equal to
that which would have attractions unconquerable for them 41°
a London visit. We can only hope that this time a greatccor,
success may encourage the manager, in similar attempts, I
the future to place the public of Liverpool, at intervals
least, on an equal ground with tlose of London. The gr
opera announced is the new and celebrated "11 Trovatore."
QUEEN'S HALL, 11OFFMAN'S.—It is always pleasing to fin,
ourselves in the right, ar.d we are glad that in respect of tAb.
Queen's Hall Ise agree with all our cotemporaries of eveL,
shade on the classic eloquence of the performance. We too'
some credit for having been the precursor in producing tit
excellence to the public, and it is still gratifying to find tb;
there has been no difference of opinion, either by the Pre;
nor amongst the public, regarding the entertainment. I°l
public sometimes may be slow in judging, but when theta
judgment is formed its correctness is complete. In the preoe°
instance the performance at its outset took hold of the peoples;
and from the opening night up to the present the audience b ,„,
increased almost beyond precedent, and still continue
appreciate the beauty of the whole, which even iinprovesf
acquaintance. The past week has been one of triumph. we
need say no more.

CLAYTON HALL.—The wonted charms of Miss St Gel:
at the Clayton have not in the least slackened during tl;
week ; for although there were a variety of attractions throuc
the town, we were glad to find that the ball kept nj:.
supremacy. Could it be otherwise, when a charoli)
entertainment is represented by a charming and accomplish
lady ?
THE CoLossEux.—Mr Heath has produced some inteec
ing novelties during the week, and if one have to it'd,' 4
the reception given by crowded houses evAir evening, there;
no doubt the entertainment is pleasing. 'Hardly a week PI;
that something additionally attractive is not offered at
house by the able proprietor.

A.3IERICAN ACTORS.—On Monday next Cordelia How re,

and Tosy, of the Dramatic version of " Uncle Ve
Cabin,' played for more than a thousand consecueclar,
nights in the Uniten States, wilt make their first apr'
anee in this country at the Marylebone Theatre.
