THE TIGER.—We hear from the fleet that Captain
Giffard shot the Greek pilot dead the moment the vessel
ran on shore. The English prisoners have been allowed
to send letters.
THE WAR MINISTER.—It is now understood that the
Duke of Newcastle, and not Lord Palmerston, is to be
War Minister. The Secretaryship of the Colonies will
thus soon be vacant. It is rumoured that if Sir Williamiilbe
Mslesworth does not step into this vacancy, he will
offered a seat in the House of Lords. Should a peerage
fall to the lot of the only Radical member of the Cabi-
net, the electors of Southwark will of course be called
upon to select a new representative.—Daily News.
EXCHEQUER BONDS.—With regard to the complaint
of the scrip for the new Exchequer-bonds being in in-
convenient amounts, it appears that the issue was made
after full consultation with the leading persons in the
market, and in express conformity with their wishes.
'When the scrip receipts are exchanged for bonds, the
latter will be in various amounts, analogous to those of
Exchequer-bills.
THE MISSES M'ALPINE'S CONCERT.—The annual
concert given by these ladies took place last evening, at
the Hanover-square Rooms, under a distinguished list
of aristocratic patronesses, and proved to be one of the
most fashionably attended and entertaining re-unions of
the season. The vocal department was very powerfully
sustained, and the instrumentalists comprised the bril-
liant Mdlle. Coulon, Piatti, Deichmanu, Chatterton,
and Case. The Misses M'Alpino, who have perceptibly
improved in power and execution (in taste it would be
impossible), since their appearance last year, were cor-
dially applauded in several pieces, and especially in the
tcrzetto "Ti prezo o madre pia," with Mr. Sims Reeves,
which was rapturously encored, acquitted themselves to
perfection. The great English tenor was in excellent
voice, and was worthily followed by Mr. Allan
and Mr. C. Cotton. Madame Amedei, who gave the 6
celeberated " 0 mon file," with exquisite effect, and
Miss Rebecca Isaacs, in a ballad of Loder's, were duly
honoured with a recall ; nor must we omit to record the
pleasing display in a German song of Madlle. Hermann.
The accomplished beneficiaires are evidently immense
favourites in the fashionable world, if we are to judge by
the very crowded attendance of last evening, and the
specimens afforded of their musical talents amply justi-
fied the support of their patrons. As vocalists of sound
taste, correct execution, arid pleasing style and voice,
the Misses M'A.lpine are well deserving of every encou-
ragement. The Duchess of Sutherland, and several of
_ the hot tots were awoDg tile compuly moat.

Mr. Barry Sullivan appeared last night at this theatre
in the character of Claude Melnotte in the Lady of
Lyons, and was enthusiastically received. Ia a play so
well known, and a character so often pourtrayed, it is
not easy for the most accomplished actor to please an
audience long accustomed to witness this most beautiful
creation of a popular dramatist, rendered in the highest
style of perfection; yet Mr. Sullivan need not dread a
comparison, even though it may be made by an un-
friendly hand. In figure one would imagine he was the
very ideal of the poet's fancy, while his conception
of the character, and his intonation of some of the
finest parts of the play, were rendered with great
power. Decidedly the most exquisite passage in the
piece, and one which reflects, more than any other, the
graphic genius of the author, is the last interview of Claude
in his mother's humble home, with his betrayed and
frantic wife, in the presence of herfriends. Nothing could
have been better, or more true to nature, than the man-
ner in which Mr. Sullivan played this beautiful and
affecting scene, and so much was it felt by the audience,
that, on the fall of the curtain, he was loudly cheered,
and called for in the front of the stage. The Pauline of
Mrs. C. Poole was, also, most effective, for, like Mr.
Sullivan, she looked it, independently of the ability with
which she sustained a character, where pride and ambi-
tion were utterly annihilated in a proud and ambitious
breast ; but where, nevertheless, the genial feeling of
nature surpassed and outlived them all. The Lady
of Lyons was followed by the highly successful ballet of
the Sea Nymphs' Cave, in which the Misses Gunniss,
and the French Ballet Company, appeared with their
usual success. The Waterman followed, in which Miss
Harriett Gordon, as Tom Tug, was most effective, and
the entertainments of the evening concluded with the
amusing piece of the Statue Lover, in which a good deal
of humour is introduced into a very silly conception.
The house, we are glad to say, was very much crowded.
