KIRSDALE SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS._-

At the concert which took place on Saturday evening,
in St. Mary's Schoolroom, Kirkdale, his Worship the
Mayor. Francis Shand, Esq., presided. Among the other
gentlemen present were—Mr. Alderman Dover, Mr. lint,
Rev. Mr. Lester, Rev. l'r. Demilton, Mr. Brieht, Governor
of Kirkdale Gaol. Mr. E. Heath, Mr. T. D. Anderson,
Mr. Kitchen.

Belo: e the concert commenced,
The Mayor addressed the audience, which was most
numerous, the room being crowded in every part. He
said he came there for the purpose of giving a east and
force—which as Mayor of Liverpool he was sure to give--
to the entertainment they were about to ettity, and to
receive from them the assurance that it was consistent
With good order and the highet interests of the community
in which they lived. He believed sincerely that such was
the case, and he could assure them that, of all the duties
which as Mayor of Liverpool he was called upon to per-
form, there was none which gave him more delight than
in promoting the pleasures and happiness of the working
classes of the community over which he was appointed to
preside. (Applause.) He felt, from the experienc.t he
had of the office, that as Mayor of Liverpool he
was a kind of pivot in the social system of the eorporat•
body, and by the corporate body he meant, not only those
within the council, but those outside the council quite as
['Lanett He was the key—stone in the social circle which
kept the whole community together. (Hear, hear.) There
were many, however, who had stranee and different ideas
of his position—who believed that his office gave him the
faculty of the elephant, the power of picking up a pin as
easily as a great weight. (Laughter.) Sometimes he
received a communication to this effect :—" I beg you to
inform me by return of post when the next ship sails for
America, and how many on board of her are total
abstainers.'' (Great laughter.) A short time since, he
got a letter from a mother anxious about her son., She
informed him that he sailed from Liverpool, about two
years ago, tor some part of the East Indies, and that she
would be glad if he (the Mayor) would tell her where he
now was. (Laughter.) He fancied, therefore, that
their excellent pastor (the Rev. Mr. Lester) had
some ground for introducing him, on this occa-
sion, as "an illustrious stranger." (Laughter.) But
a stranger to Everton and Kirkdale he should
certainly disclaim, because the first lesson he received 10
public _duties was learned 'in the Everton and Kirkdale
Schools. (Hear, hear.) Though, therefore, not exactly
" an illustrious stranger," he had yet claims to a distinct-
tion almost as important in some communities—he was
"one of the oldest inhabitants (Hear, hear, and
laughter) He recollected when Everton church slept (if
he might so say) in its native quarry, and when the pope-
lation of Liverpool considered a walk round Kirkdale a
delightful rural excursion. ['here was nothing to stop
them on the way but " Phcehe BArlow's strawberry beds,
or Molly Bushell's toffal shop." (Laughter.) There
were then no beer shops between Lnw Hill and Kirkdale,
and no place of entertainment but Halliday's coffee house-
Pleasant rambles through green lanes and shady walla
were now almost °et of the reach of the people of Liver-
pool, particularly the labouring classes, and it was them"
fore necessary that other enjoyments should be provided
for them. (Hear, heir.) His Worship in ennclusioo
expressed his opinion that these Saturday evening cos'
certs were one of the best amusements that could be pro'
vid-'d for the people, and resumad his seat amid general
applause. _ -

The noncert was then proceeded with, and ofe
unmixed satisfaction. Mr. C. Wilberforce presided it
piano, and the other performers were Miss Fletch.-r (with
whose singing we were exceedingly pleased), Mr. Graharot
and Mr. H. Johnson.

On the conclusion of the concert, a vote of thanks wail--
on the motion of the Rev. Mr. Lester, who annntinced that
his Worship had given £5 towards the concerts, seconded
by Mr. Heath—voted by acclamation to the Mayor for
his kindness in presiding.
