MUSICAL.

QUARTETT CONCERTS.
The first musical re. union for the present season of Bla-
grove, Lucas, Dando, and Howell took place Thursday night at the
Hanover-sqUare Rooms, and we feel much pleasure in stating
that there was an excellent attendance. When it is consi-
dered that to the above young professionals we are indebted
for the establishment of the classical conceits, now in such
. high and deserved repute, it must afford great satisfaction to
find that their undertaking is properly appreciated and sup-
Nrted. The following was the scheme :--
PART I.
Quartett in F Major—For two Violins, Viola, and
Violoncello, Messrs, Blagrove, Gattie, Dando,
and Lucas • Weiss.
Aria—" Deli ! per questo instante" (La Clemenza
di Tito), Madame Caradori Allan, accompanied
on the Pianoforte by Sir George Smart ...... Mozart.
Quartett, in E flat Major—For two Violins, Viola,

PART 11.
Quartett in G Minot—For Pianoforte, Violin,
Viola, and Violoncello, Mrs. Anderson, Messrs
Blagrove, Dando, and Lucas
Cantata_-_" Der Wachtelschlag„" Madame Cara-
dori Allan, accompanied on the Pianoforte by
Sir George Smart
Sonata in A Major—For Violoncello and Double
Bass, Messrs. Lucas and Howell
Romance " Ist est wahr ?" Madame Caradori
Allan, accompanied on the Pianoforte by Sir G.
_Smart, Descriptive Quartett—For two Violins, Mendelssohn
Barth I 1‘
Viola, and Violoncello, Messrs. Blagrove, Cattle, °
Dando, and Lucas
The quartett of Franz Weiss, of Vienna, is his op. 10, de-
dicated to Count Ladislaus Esterhazy, Bishop of Rosnau.
The first movement, in 1' major, is a lively allegro, which is
followed by an andante in D minor, ending in D major, then
succeeds a scherzo allegro, with a singular transition of key,
and it is wound up by an allegro spirituoso. The movements
are very fantastic, but there is a great deficiency of design,
and although considerable dexterity is evinced in the construc-
tion of the harmonies yet it struck us there was occasional
harshness of modulations, which was by no means pleasing.
It was the first time of performance in this country, and we
are glad that it was executed, for it enabled the performers to
display their a plomb, and prepared them for Beethoven's
magnificent quartett, op. 74. Of this colossal composition we
scarcely dare trust ourselves to write. Fertility of imagina-
tion, inexhaustible invention of melodies, pure harmonies,
clearly, judiciously, and ingeniously disposed, refined taste,
rich invention, and depth of learning, are remarked in every
movement. The gorgeous profusion of thoughts are percep-
tible in every phrase, and the whole quartett is, in fact,
conceived in a pure and exalted spirit. The players en-
tered heart and soul into the work. They felt the stake to
be great, in realizing the mighty musings of the master-mind,
and right well did the go through the ordelll. It was a tri-
umphant display of finished excellence, and every man did
his duty. Blagrove's arpeggio staccato bowing in the first
movement electrified the company, whilst Dando on
the viola, and Lucas on the violoncello, were no less admirable
in the passages of difficulty which fell to their share. The ap-
plause was loud and long-continued during the progress and at
the termination. The beautiful quartett of Mozart in G minor,
op. 27, was also a rich and rare treat. Mrs. Anderson's per-
formance of the pianoforte was distinguished as much by pre-
cision and distinctness of touch as by truly impassioned feel-
ings. Her strict observance of the text reflects the highest
credit on her understanding and good taste, and the dilletante
were quite conscious of this, for the applause was most enthu-
siastic. The allegro, andante, and rondo are all splendid
imaginings, but the seconds is one of the most graceful and
luxuriant movements we ever heard. Dando's exquisite playing
of the viola in the andante was above all praise, whilst Bla-
grove and Lucas fully sustained their parts. The latter had a
most trying task in Corelli's sonata ; but he mastered the intri-
cacies with an ease and certainty which we could scarcely have
anticipated frem so young a performer, who had need of fingers
of iron for such Herculean passages. Howell had some com-
plicated bits, and for that reason was eminently successful.
lie played with unerring nicety phrases which it must be re-
collected were written for the violoncello. We are at a
loss to characterise the last piece in the selection, which was a
novelty. The romance was pretty, but we must frankly own
we found nothing descriptive in the quartett which was com-
posed to illustrate the words of the air. The first movement
consists of an " introduction, adagio, and allegro vivace," the
second is " adagio non lento," the third, " intermezzo, alle-
gretto con moto, and allegro di molto," and the fourth " Pres-
to," ending with a phrase of the romance. There was, of
course, as there must always be with Mendelssohn, some very
ingenious and pretty writing, but the conceit seemed to us to
be wild and extravagant. The words, in fact, did riot admit of
much descriptive writing, and we are surprised that so barren
a subject should have been selected. Like the other quartetts,
the playing is entitled to every commendation. Indeed, the
ensemble of this party is quite astonishing, and could only have
been attained by severe and constant practice. The vocal
honours of the concert appertained exclusively to Madame
Caradori. She looked remarkably well, and never sang better.
Her clear and liquid tones in Mozart's air, and correctness of
intonation, created a considerable sensation ; but it was in
Beethoven's cantata,," Dcr Wachtelschlag" ( Song of the
Quail), that she produced the .greatest impression. It was
rapturously encored, as it was when she first sang it at the
last Norwich Festival, which we duly recorded at the time.
It had then the advantage of orchestral accompaniments, and
G. Cooke's imitative phrase of the wail of the bird added to
the effect. Madame Caradori's singing of this delicious me-
lody may rank among her best efforts. Sir G. Smart supported
her very efficiently throughout the concert, which was alto-
gether recherche and of an. elevated school.

CLOsE B.IIAVE.---A- week or. two since, a gentle-
Man residing in Melbourne, while engaged chopping fire-wood,
happened to make a false stroke, when the axe, glancing off
the wood, flew out of his hands, cut one of the lags off a cloth
cap covering the head of a man standing about three yards oil',
sliced a small piece off the tip of his ear, and cut the string
under his chin, without doing any. further damage. The sur-
prise of the parties may be easily conceived.—American Far-
mer's Advocate.-

MONEY MARKET.—The state of commercial cre-
dit in the City to-day (Friday) has shown some decided symp-
toms of amelioration, although the pressure for capital conti-
nues to be felt with some severity. The state of the foreign
exchanges this afternoon is also more favourable, the rates on
Hamburg, France, and Rotterdam, having a decided tendency
to advance. It is mentioned that the packet of the 24th, which
has just arrived from New York, brought over some large orders
of manufactured goods. The appearance of things in New
York, Philadelphia, and other parts of the United States, had
considerably improved, and a brisk spring trade was looked for.

A most extraordinary circumstance has come to our
knowledge in the north of this county, not very far from the
\Voids. An able-bodied labourer in full wages—a turbulent
pauper of the old school—insisted upon his parish paying his
rent, 121. Having obtained this, he subsequently insisted
upon the payment of his tithe, 11., in which also he succeeded.
He then lent the parish 401. ; and to this day they pay his 121.
rent, and 1/. tithe, and 21. interest for his money. He was
visited a fortnight since by the Assistant-commissioner. lie
has a house and land, two cows, and many sheep. In point of
fact, he may be regarded as having had the money to pay his
own rent ; and some excitement prevailing about it among the
rate-payers, the parish authorities have applied to the Com-
missioner, to know how to proceed to raise the 404 to pay the
loan I—Her?ford Reformer.
The Lincolti Gazette compliments the Cockneys on
their" taste and judgment after the following fashion No
class of people are more easily gulled than the Cockneys.
For the last eight or nine months they have been running mad
to see a man named Rice, from America, perform the part of
a negro called Jim Crow,' in which he jumps about the stage
and performs a variety of no-meaning antics, about equal in
effect to the absurdities of a clown upon a penny show. Somebody
said he was clever, and then every body said he was, and because
every body said so, every body laughed, and from laughing at
' Jim Crow,' every body sung 'Jim Crow,' which is as wretched
a farago of balderdash as ever was strung together. The
Cockneys are just coming to their senses, and they now won-
der how it is they could have been so stupidly gulled."

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEE. 17.
ANDREWS V. ASKEW.
The plaintiff %las a widow, and brought the present a-Con
against the defe3dant for having seduced her daughte.., in
consequence of which she became pregnant ; the action was
for loss of her services. The parties kept fruit-stalls in the
Borough-market. Amelia Andrews, the daughter of the
plaintiff, stated that the defendant was in the habit of visiting
her at her mother's house secretly, and as saon as he disco-
vered her pregnancy he abandoned her for another girl. A
child nine months and 19 days old, was the r,sult of their in-
tercourse.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 150/.

LARDNER V. SIR JOHN TOBIN.
In this case, which was not concluded yciteid ty, when we
went to press, the Jury found a verdict for the ilaintiff—

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEB. 17.
Mr. Edward Cruse, described as a professor of music, ap-
plied on his petition to be discharged, and was unopposed.
Mr. Commissioner HAMM inquired of the insolvent whether
he was a professor in either of the Universities.
The insolvent answered in the negative.
Mr. Commissioner liaaats—Then why do you descrlbo
yourself as a professor?
Insolvent—lt is a common thing in the profession, Sir.
Mr. Commissioner llAnais was of opinion that the insolvent
must amend hi 3 description, and re-advertise ; lie had thought
proper to omit his real description, and to designate himself
with a title to which he had no right.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER concurred. It was one
of the evils of the present day not to call things or persons by
their proper names ; but now a dancing-master was a " pro-
fessor of dancing," and a shopman was now known as an " as-
sistant." The word shopman was not in vogue, and every
teacher was now a professor.
The Insolvent did not do it with any bad intention.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—No, I don't suppose you did. It is
the refinement of the attorneys of this Court not to call things
by their right names. A person who has nothing to do and
nothing to live on, is now a " gentleman."
The insolvent was ordered to be discharged.

WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, 1E8.17.
Henry Wilkins, aged eighteen, a notorious pickpocket, was
indicted for stealing from the person of Edward Barret Cur-
teis, Esq., a handkerchief, value three shillings, his property.
The prisoner made a lame defence.—The Jury returned a
verdict of guilty.
The CHAIRMAN, i.l passing judgment, told the prisoner he
was an old offender, and the Court, therefore, felt bound to
sentence him to seven years' transportation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HAT7'ON-GARDEN.

Yesterday John Banks, wehimney-sweep, nearly blind, was
placed at the bar, charged by Mr. Gore, a dust contractor,
with stealing dust.
The prisoner did not deny the charge. He had served his
apprenticeship to the trade, and being nearly blind, and hav-
ing a family to support, he did not know what to do. No-
bodyt' would employ him at his trade, and if he called out
" Sweep" in the streets to get a job, they would send him to
prison, where he had Len twice for doing so. •
Mr. Ttoouts could not see what harm there could be in call-
ing out " Sweep" in the streets; it had never annoyed him.
He inquired of Inspector Cambell, of E division, whether the
public were much annoyed by such proceeding ?
Inspector Cambell replied, certainly not ; the police never
interfered with sweeps when they did so, and the Commis-
sioners had given orders to that effect. He spoke of the
prisoner as an industrious man, but the affliction of his eyes
precluded him from procuring work.
Mr. ROGERS discharged him, with an advice not to steal
dust in future, but to apply to his Parish, if he could not get
any work.

honour Hewlett, an elderly female, residing at No. 3, Mary
Street, Hampstead-road, was brought up, charged by the Rev.
Mr. Samuel Fowler, of Grafton-street, Brunswick-square,
preacher in Gower Chapel, with having annoyed him.
The Rev. Gentleman stated that yesterday morning, at about
half-past seven o'clock, the prisoner continued rapping. at his
street-door, to the annoyance of his family, exclaiming that she
would " see God her Father," and refusing to desist he gave
her into custody.

Mr. liocErts inquired the cause? Witness replied that she
visited his chapel to hear him preach ; and she laboured under
a delusion that he was God her father, and she was continually
annoying him. She was respectably connected, and had con-
sider4ble property in the 33- per Cents. ; but she would never
draw a dividend, but allowed herself almost to perish through
starvation ; and he had supplied her with money, to procure
food.

The prisoner, whose appearance and manners indicated mad-
ness, exclaimed (pointing at Mr. Fowler) " He is my God,
my Holy Father."
Mr. ROGERS recommended that she should be taken to St.
Pancras workhouse, and that steps should be taken to place
her in a lunatic asylum.
MISS NEWNIAN'S CASE.—The case of Miss Newman and
her mother, for robbing their ready-furnished lodgings, which
came on at this office on Thursday evening last, has excited
considerable interest, and various inquiries were made yester-
day to see them, and the officers of the various divisions of
police have been actively employed to trace, if possible, other
robberies which they are strongly suspected of having com-
mitted. It is conjectured that since their release from White-
cross-street Prison, where they were incarcerated for debt,
after Mrs. Rawlinson's affair, they have taken lodgings in an
assumed name, and that they have plundered the lodgings, or
extorted money under the pretence that they had been robbed
of jewellery, but we have not heard of the result of the officers'
exertions. It may be recollected that Mrs. Rawlinson, during
her temporary residence in London, occupied apartments at
the house of Mr. Elderton, surgeon, of Goswell-street, Cler-
kenwell, with her husband and a female relative, and Miss
Newman and her mother lodged in the same house, and during
Mrs. Rawlinson's temporary absence some property was
placed under her bed, her chamber-door having been left open,
and the officers being called in the property was found, and
Mrs. Rawlinson and her relative given into custody. Miss
Newman owned the property, and said that she had been robbed
of valuable jewellery to a great amount. Whilst the officers
were searching up stairs for the property, the lower part of the
house was robbed of silver plate to a considerable amount, and
prior to the honourable acquittal of Mrs. R. the suspicion of
this robbery also rested upon her. Since the apprehension of
the above prisoners it is strongly suspected that they were the
perpetrators of the robbery, and yesterday Barnard, 110 G,
waited on Mr. Elderton, who gave him a description of the
stolen property, and during the whole of yesterday he was
actively engaged making enquiries at the various pawnbrokers
of the metropolis, to trace, if possible, whether any of it had
been pledged by the prisoners.
_ _

Mis's Newman is a beautiful-looking girl, about 19 or 20
years of age, with a dark expressive eye, a Roman counte-
nance, with long black ringlets, of middling stature and lady-
like manner. Ilerm3ther is stout, wearing a large cloak and
black bonnet, and her countenance indicates haul drinking.
Her daughter is highly accomplished, and is said to be an ex-
quisite musician, and performs on the piano admirably ; and
they were left a large fortune, which they ran through, by the
father, who was an opulent merchant.
On Thursday evening, Mr. Simpson, of Hatton-garden, for-
warded a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Rawlinson, informing them
of the apprehension of the prisoners. Numerous charges are.
expected to be brought against the prisoners.
