HENOLER'S CIRQUE.—Our worthy chief magistrate,
William Preston, Esq., again favoured this establish-

Thursday next, March 3rd, is devoted to the benefit of
our favourite English horseman, William Powell ; few
who have seen impersonation of " Shaw, the guardsman,"
or " The Courier of St. Petersburgh," but must testify to
his great skill as a rider. We trust his benefit will
prove a bumper.

Mrs. Scarisbrick's concerts take place at two o'clock in
the afternoon, and at eight o'clock in the evening, of this
day. We have given an account of the programme of
the morning concert, which promises an entertainment of
first-rate character. At the evening concert, Madame
Viardot Garcia will sing what Meyerheer calls an arioso

will also sing two English songs,. " The Wreck of the

Crouch, as well as in concerted pieces, which our space
will not allow us to enumerate.
