GRAND MORNING CONCERT,

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Mr. Eliason, encouraged by the success of the Evening'
Concerts D'Ete, has been induced, at the request of
several of his patrons, to try the experiment of giving a
morning promenade concert in addition to the usual
evening performances. Accordingly, at one o'clock yes-
terday {lie indefatigable Jullien gave the prelimi-
nary flourish of his baton, and the performances
commenced with Rossini's master-piece, the overture to
Guillaume Tell. At this time the attendance was rather
scanty, but company continued to come in during the
whole of the first part, and at its conclusion the audience
was such, as we should hope would induce Mr. Eliason
to continue these delightful morning entertainments.
The theatre was lighted up and decorated with flowers,
&c,, precisely as at the evening performances. In addition
to overtures, quadrilles, waltzes, &c., we had the whole
of ,Locke's music to Macbeth, admirably performed ;
a solo on the Cornet-a-piston by Herr licenig, and an-
other on the flute by Richardson. licenig is a model
for all solo players. There is nothing like trick or clap-
trap about his performances, no exhibitions of mere
tours de force; nothing which, while it attracts the ap-
plause of the unlearned, makes the learned smile ; but
every thing is done with science, taste, and judgment.
Nothing could exceed the manlier in which he executed
his solo yesterday. It is indeed a great treat to hear this
young man, Richardson. The other solo performer of the
morning, taking for his theme the air of The Swiss Boy,"
executed a series of variations of surpassing brilliancy, and
evinced his complete mastery over all the difficulties of
his instrument. The theatre, although not crowded,
was very well attended, mid the audience was more select
than at; the evening concerts. Altogether, we think
we may fairly congratulate Mr. Eliason on the success of
his experiment, winch, we hope, he will, ere long, be in-
duced to repeat.

ACCIDENT IN THE CASTLE SLOPES.
WINDSOR, AUG. 5.—A serious accident occurred to a
workman, named Green, on Tuesday last, while he was
engaged, with other men, in digging away a large por-
tion of the Slopes between the Castle and Adelaide
Lodge, for the purpose of forming a recess in which is to
be erected a small building, to be used as a summer-
house. The ground having been excavated to a consi-
derable extent, a large tree at the top of the Slopes
close to which Green was at work, suddenly gave way
and descended to the valley below, a distance of nearly
40 feet, in an almost perpendicular direction, dragging
the man along with it. Upon being picked up in an al-
-1 most insensible state, and medical aid being immediately
procured from the Castle, it was discovered that, al-
though he was dreadfully bruised, and suffering under
severe contusions, none of his limbs were broken. An-
other man, who was at work close by his side, upon see-
ing the tree giving way, fortunately caught hold of some
of its roots left in the ground, and thus preserved himself
from injury. The soil, which was principally composed
of chalk, had become exceedingly rotten from the late al-
-1 most incessant rains.
