BEXaVOLDS'S PEOPLES' CONCERTS.

These Concerts were resumed on Saturday night, in St.
George's Hall, under auspices which, we trust, will secure
their continuance, and, at the same time, repay the enter-
prise of the gentleman who has again undertaken them.
Nothing daunted by the serious loss which attended his
first effort, even with well filled houses, Mr. Reynolds has
again entered on the task of providing superior Concerts for
the people at prices so moderate that, were not the enter-
tainments given in such a building as St. George's Hall.
they might be open, though unjustly, to the imputation of
being vulgar, with a spirit and liberality which deserve
success. We regretted, on this acc)unt, the thin audience
which assembled on Saturday night, to reward his public
spirit; and we should still more regret it, if it be an indica-
tion of the feeling of the people in regard to these musical
performances which, whether under the present or any other
management, we would desire to see fburish amongst us.
If they again fail, it will not be from want of liberality on
the part of the St. George's Hall committee, nor spirit on
the part of Mr. Reynolds, but from the anathy of the
people themselves in what conduces to their amusement and
advantage.

The Concert opened, as usual, with a peformance on the
grand organ by Mr. W. T. Best—" La Dame Blanche'
(overture),. which obtained very enthusiastic plaudits_
With the exception of another performance by Mr. Best—
" Reminiscences of the Opera, Lacrizia Borgia"—which
Was also justly admired, the rest of the entertainment wse
purely vocal. Miss Landon again appeared before a St.
George's Hall audience, and was quite as warmly received
as on the first occasion of her appearance. She was most
happy in her singing of the " Four leaf d Shamrock," a
very pleasing ballad both in its melody and poetry,
and sang, in response to the general encore, another cf
Lover's, with an archness which well suited to the humour
of the song. Miss Whitham's singing was also most
effective, and obtained more than one encore, particularly
in the duet, "O Maritana," with Mr Miranda, of *hog@
singing we could not say too much in praise. His voice
is as fine and full a tenor as any we could wish to hear?
whilst his singing is distinguished in an eminent degree
by ease, feeling, and a correct taste. He sings almost;
wholly from the chest notes, and rarely uses the falsetto, of
which, from the purity, flexibility, and compass of his voice,
he stands but in little need. As a whole, the concert was
most successful. Before concluding, we must mention that
a great improvement has been introduced into they
programmes. They now contain, with the other particu-
lars, the words of the songs, the want of the knowledge of
which is frequently a drawback on the enjoyment of the•
melody. Without giving too much prominence to any
particular artiste, we may mention that Miss Landon has
become one of our most favourite and successful local
singers. At the present time she has the conducting of
these concerts in hand, besides holding a responsible
situation in one of our theatres, where her singing nightly
attracts thousands..

BURGLARIES.—On Friday night some thieves entered,
by means of a fanlight in the shop, the spirit vaults kept by
Mr. Finch in Gerard street, and stole about 430, which had
been incautiously left in the till in the shop. Mr. Finch
was out of town, and no doubt the thieves seized that
opportunity of committing the depredation. No clue has
vet been obtained to the robbers. The same night the
house of Mr. Mooro, next door to Mr. Finch, was entered
by the back premises in Lionel street, but as some of the
parties in the house had not gone to bed, the thieves were
alarmed, and only ventured so far as the kitchen, from which
they beat a speedy retreat, taking with them only a few
articles of wearing apparel of trifling value. Doubtless the
thieves were part of the seine tang who robbed Mr. Finch.
BURSTING OF ANOTHER WATSR PIPE —On Saturday
afternoon, eeriet five o'clock, no little consternation was
caused in the neighbourhood of Green lane by the report
iliat one of the new water pipes had burst, and rendered
the road impassable by the water violently throwing up
several tons. of earth, and fleodiog the road to a considerable
diet nice. The accident took place about a hundred yards
beyond the works in Green lane, and nearly opposite to the
Lunatic Asylum. About twenty head of cattle, which were
at the time in an outhouse attached to a farm house close
by, were placsi in considerable danger for some time, the
water pouring with great fore.: into the building, and before
the main was turned off the water had here attained a
height of nearly a yard. The fractured portion of the pipe,
which was upwards of a yard in length and eighteen inches
in width, was driven a distance of several yards into the
middle of the road.
