Mas. ASHE'S CONCERT.—The annual Concert
of this excellent vocal Performer took place last
night, in Conduit-street,. where Lady. GRESLEY
kindly opened her house for the occasion. The
place was crowded ; many of the visitors were
obliged to stand, and others remained on the
stairs and in the adjoining room. The musi-
cal treat was of the first order. lUrs. and Miss
Asnz sang delightfully, singly and together.—
Miss Assts: also much distinguished herself in a
Fantasia on the pianoforte. In addition to these
accomplished Performers the vocal department
was supported by Branvz, SoLa, KEATS, Mrs.
SALMON, Miss STEPHENS, Miss THEE, and Miss
I'ATON. The music was well chosen. We have
not room for detail, but we may fairly say that the
whole was excellent, and the audience, who were
as numerous as the place would admit, testified
the respect and esteem in which the talents and
character of Mrs. Asus and her fair daughter, in.r
deed, of the family in general, are deservedly
held. The visitors, during the interval of the
Concert, and on its conclusion, were gratified '
with an ample and elegant cold collation.
We received last night three copies of a print.
ed letter, signed 4t Andrew G, E. Tucker," which
has been circulated on the part of the " Princess
Olive" amongst the Members of the House of
Commons. It is in answer to Mr. Peel's speech
on the presentation of that Lady's Petition, and
in addition to her claims for princely rank, insists
that she is the guardian of the late Duke of
Kent's daughter !" The writer asks, if the Prin-
cess Olive have forged any of the Documents
which she has preferred to substantiate her claims,
why is she not prosecuted ? If they are genoine,
why is she not allowed the benefit of them ?"
(Morning Herald.)
OLD Bnit,tv—(Tnis DAY.)—John Barton
was indicted for stealing from the person of 'William Goodrich
Esq., of Woolon House, Gloucestershire, ten sovereigns, on

smut= stated he was apprised by a gentleman who was Mew-
ing him that his pocket had been picked 4 and pointed out the

On Saturday his Majesty's proclamation for
putting in execution the law to prevent enlisting
in foreign service, and the fitting out vessels for
warlike purposes, without license was read at
the Cross by the heralds, with the usual forma-
lities.—(Edinburgh Courant, June 230)
On Tuesday night the house of Mr. Edmund
Farrar, Bedford Terrace, Camden Town, was
broke open and robbed of several articles of
plate, household linen, wearing apparel, liquors,
tea, sugar, &c. The thieves escaped undis-
covered.

FlRE.—About half-past one o'clock yesterday
morning, a fire broke out at an eating-house kept
by Mr. Baker in Cable-street, St. George's in
the East. The inmates, consisting of Mr. Baker,
his wife, four children, and the servant, escaped
with the utmost difrculty in a state of nudity, at
the attic windows. One of the children, a boy
four years old, was so much injured, that it was
found necessary to take him to the hospital, and
the house and fitrtiitive were in a short time
completely destroyed, and two others adjoining
much damaged.
