POOR mAccrs CONCERT.

We regret to find that the Concert so handsomely un-
dLrtaken for the relief of this unfortunate individual has
not proved so productive as was expected, or as his neces-
sitous condition demanded. This falling off' is attributed
to the circumstance of a lady 41 the Coat (lately so styled)
thinking fit to give a grand party on the night appointed
for the Concert, at her residence in Piccadilly. The lady
to whom we allude, and who generally (Coiltte qui Cattle)
doer things in a style of superior magnificence, not only
invited all the fashionables in town, but also issued her
commands for the attendance of all the principal per-
formers for the entertainment of her guests. The consz-
quence of' this general sweep was, that the Concert, the
profits of which were intended to administer to the wants
and comfort of the afflicted l'lacci, was bereft both of
singets and company; and the result, such as we have
already stated, viz. a total failure in the pecuniary proceeds
of the undertaking.

It is a gratifying fact, that amongst the fashionable
groups at the Piccadilly fete, some were found who trans-
mitted the amount of their subscriptions, notwithstanding
their absence from the Concert. In acting in so liberal a
manner, these benevolent individuals could not but think
they were paying a grateful homage to the feelings of their
munificent hostess, whose charitable disposition since she
ceased to ba herself a dependant upon the bounty of the
public for a line of life more creditable and profitable, has
been so often before the world.
