PLACES OF FASHIONABLE RESORT.

LIVERPOOL GRAND MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The inha-
bitants of Liverpool have been recently much gratified by a
Grand Musical Festival, comprehending five morning perform.
ances, and two evening concerts, with the additional attractions
of three balls, one of them a fancy-dress ball. The morning per-
formances were very numerously anti respectably attended. per-
formances
evening concerts attracted a large assemblage of rank and fashion,
and the conductors have every reason to be satisfied with thesuccess
of their undertaking, as we have been informed that the receipts
for these two Concerts alone amounted to 2,9001. So satisfactory
a result might have been easily anticipated, as the Concert bills
displayed a brilliant assemblage of talents, comprehending the
names of Mrs. Salmon, Misses Stephens and Goodall, Brabant,
Philli.ps, and Vaughan, with the powerful co-operation of De
Begnts and his charming wife. The two latter were particularly
well received, and their efforts on this occasion fully justified
the plaudits which were bestowed on them. De Begnis, in the
air " Amor perche sni piraichi," for the rapid utterance of
which he was so celebrated in London, was highly applauded,
and also in various duets with Madame Ronzi, who has greatly
fascinated the good people of Liverpool with her charming per-
son and her musical skill. We have not room to add more,
than that the whole was admirably conducted, and was attended
with the success commensurate to its merits._

Lir..auftw TOWEIL—In consequence of Mr. Collin wood's
eldest son coming of 'age, a superb gala was given at 14ilburn
Tower on Monday, the 22d of September. A large ox, weigh-
ing upwards of 100 stone, was roasted entire for the occasion,
and early in the afternoon the young heir commenced the carv-
ing. . With proper assistance it was cut into pieces, and distri-
buted among an immense number of poor people and labourers,
who had flocked from all quarters to witness this very splendid
spectacle. Ale was liberally given to all dtiring the whole
course of the day, part of which had been brewed for the occa-
sion twenty-one years. ago. A large party within doors sat
down to a most plentiful, feast of turtle,,venison, and all the
delicacies of the season. The health of Alr. Collingwood, his
son, and the other, members of the family, were toasted with
enthusiastic hums, while the music of a military band, and
the firing of cannon, contributed to heighten the effect of this
very imposing scene. Fire-works in the evening, of great bril-
liancy and beauty, closed the. day. The village of tit ooler was
very generally illuminated, though it was remarked that all the
effective population was more attractively employed at the
Tower. On the 23d a splendid entertainment was given to the
numerous tenantry of ,tie estate ; and on the '24th the troop,
commanded by Henry Collingwood, jun. Esq., dined with
their Captain. On both occasions the dinner • was at Lil-
burn Tower, and distinguished by the same warm enthu-
siasni which' characterised the gala of the preceding day.---
A large party of the respectable tenants and gentlemen from
both sides of the Tweed also met on Monday at Cornhill, to
celebrate the birth-day of Mr. Collingwood's eldest son, and
after dinner they came out in front of the house, where a plen-
tiful supply of bread and ale had been ordered to be distri-
buted, and drank the toasts of the day;' while the loud and
repeated cheers of the populace contributed to heighten the
general interest and effeet.--On the same occasion, Miss Mills,
of Clanton, gave an excellent dinner of roast beef and plum
pudding to 160 of the poor inhabitants of the village, with a
plentiful supply of ale, to drink health and prosperity to the
young heir of Lilburn Tower.
