MR, E. W. THOMAS'S SHILLING CONCERTS AT THE
PHILHARMONIC HALL,

We remind our readers that Mr. E. W. Thomas's
excellent concerts are approaching their termination for
the season. To-morrow will be the last morning perfor-
mance but one. On Saturday the last concert will be
given, and we hope we shall be able to say that our
enterprising townsman has been remunerated for
his exertions to provide intellectual gratification,
at a cheap rate, for the people. Let those who
have the subject of education of the masses on their
lips, carry their principles into practice, and support Mr.
Thomas in his efforts in the same direction. This is his
fifth season. One season not only paid his expenses,
but gave him a satisfactory remuneration ; showing that
there is nothing inherently wrong in his calculations.
L-A this season, short as it is, be a second instance of
success, that he may be induced to renew his effort 3
another year in spite of his repeated losses on former
occasions.

We (Atheneum) are told that Madame Golds.ihmidt has
reconsidered her farewell intentions by singing at Loipsic.
Signor Plata is making a concert tour in Germany, which
leaves us poor during his absents in the first-class violon-
cAlists. On such occasions we ought to be able to fall
back on the Academy for assistaace.

LEWIS AND COMPANY'S NBA' ESTABLISHMENT FOR BOYS'
C LOT HING. —Number of boys clothed for week • ending
Saturday, November 14th, 650; corresponding week last
year, 381 ; increase, 260 boys.
NEw Omsnaussns.—Yesterday, two new 'busses were
exhibited in our streets. These vehicles are after the plan
of the London saloon busses, and are beautifully got up.
Oa the outside the passengers sit face to face on one por-
tion, and back to back in another. They attracted much
attention, and were surrounded by crowds of people in
Castle-street. They are for the Garston station.
MADAME ANNIE AND TII E GERM AN GtaLs.—Detective
Officer S:nith stated, on Saturday, that Madame Annie had
brought over three girls with her from Germany, and that
he was going in search of them. It appears that he found
two of them in an improper house. One speaks a lade
English, the other nene. It seems they are to be kept
here until the trial of the Madame, should their evidence
become necessary. They seem anxious now to return to
their oven couniry.
LOUIS NAPOL RON IN TROUBLE.—Amongst a batch of
H drunk and disordrlies," brought np before Mr. Mans-
6eld, yesterday Iron-dug, was one Louis Napoleon, who
had imbibed too much fermented liquor the previous
evening. Whether his .worship had any veneration for
the name, or whether poor Louis had suffered enough by
the Licarceration of sums twenty-four hours (like his name-
sake at Ham), for his indiscretion, certain it is that he was
discharged, but if; is questionable (very) if he will attain
the eminence of his fortunate namesake—but who
knows?

PLUNDER AT WEST DERBY.—Yesferclay morning, at an
early hour, an old man was taken into custody on the
West Derby-read, with a large quantity of tradestnens'
tools in his possession, and about 40 lb?. of solder, which
ha carried in a hod on his shoulder. The police, thinking
that these things were in a place that they ought not to be,
made some enquirie, which not being answered satHac-
tcrily, they arrested the old man, and subsequently it was
found that the articles were stolen from a new building on
E iton-road, belonging to Mr. Ramsey. The man was
committed.

RNILWAY ACCIDENT.—A serious accidlnt occurred to a
working man, named John APoway, on the railway at the
Birkenhead docks, at a:: early hour on Sunday morning.
It appeared that the unfortunate man, who was employed
by the Great Western Railway Company, left his work at
four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. At six o'clock he
visited the station, to see a brother-in-law, with whom he
remained a short time. Nothing further was heard of him
until Sunday morning, about one o'clock, when, upon
soma waggons being shifted by an engine on the line, the
screams of a man were beard, and the poor fellow was then
found in a dreadfully mutilated state. He had been lying
on the rails, and upon the waggons being shifted they had
gone over bis legs, which were crushed in a shocking man-
ner. He was removed to the hospital, in Hamilton-street,
in a state of insensibility, and was unable to make any
statement as to whore he had been frori six o'clocl: on
Saturday evening until the time he was found. Upon
being admitted into the hospital, it was Fuipected that he
had been drinking. Yesterday ho was in a very precarious
state from the injuries that he received, and but slight
hopes are entertained of his roc >very.

LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL S CIETY.—The metal
periodical meeting of the members of this society was held
at the Theatre of the Royal Insqtute, CAT-lift-street. Dr.
Inman, the President of the society, occupied the chair,
There was a good attendance of the members present.
The Hon. Secretary, Dr. Thompson, having read the
minutes of the last meeting, the President expressed a
wish to be allowed to mention a subjec', which had bean
mooted by several members, and which would, in all pro-
bability, be brought before the Council. It was, that the
tea and refreshments should be hed at the commencement
of the meetings, instead of at the termination; it was, he
understood, so in other societies, and as the Council did
not wish to do any act that might be antagonistic to the
feelings of any of the members, he would suggest, that an
opinion, as that wag a large gathering, should be expressed
on the subject. Tile Hon. Secretary said, that if that
course was adopted, it would be necessary to meet at half-
past six o'clock, as, by the present lae-, they were bound
to commence the rapers of the evening at eight o'clock.
It was understood that the subject would be left in the
hands of the Council. The following gentlemen were then
unanimously elected members of the society : —Mr. Alder-
man Cooper, Professor Elliot, G. Ty:tab:ars, Esq , and Don
Emanuel Etches. The Hon. Secretary then announced
that the Proceedings of the Society were in the hands of
the deliverer, and each member, he hoped, would receive a
copy in a few days; but he would state that each member
who had contribated any papers, would be entitled to two
extra copies. A vote of thanks was returned to the Roy,l
Society of Edinburgh, and to the Lineal Society, for the
reports of the proceedings of each of those learned bodies.
Mr. Byerley exhibited and presented to the museum a fine
specimen of the cidaris :papilosa, found on the south coast
of Ireland last summer, and also a locust, found at Li,:card.
The Rev. Mr. Roberts then directed attention to some
verses, by Dr. Hereshel, a specimen of which he read.
There being 'no other miscellaneous business, Professor
Hamilton delivered a very highly-scientific lecture on the
" Composition of Rotatory Motion," explanatory of the
principles, and which was illastraced by a number of
diagrams and interes'ing experiments. A brief conversa-
tion followed, after which a vote of thanks was accorded
to Professor Hamilton. and the business of the evening
was brought to a conclusion.
