LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
(This Day.)

Market opens quiet. Sales probably 7,000 or
8,000 bales.

We are glad to be able to announce to the offi-
cers of her Majesty's infantry that the present blue un-
dress frock-coat is to be abolished, and a neat patrol-
jacket substituted for it. We need scarcely say that the
present garment is as generally as it is deservedly detested,
and the change will be welcomed by all ranks, from the
slim ensign to the sometimes portly field officer.—Array
and Navy Gazette.
SIR GEORGE SMART.--This respected and vene-
rable professor expired on Saturday morning, at his house,
No. 91, Great Portland-street. He would have entered his
91st year in May next, having been born in 1776. As com-
poser and organist to the Chapel Royal, St. James's, he
directed the music at the coronations of King William and
Qaeen Adelaide and of her Most Gracious Majesty Queen
Victoria, but his musical career may be dated from his pre-
sence as a boy at the Ilandelian Commemoration in West-
minster Abbey, in 1784. Sir George was conductor of the
Musical Festival in the Abbey in 1834. He was one of the
founders of the Philharmonic Society, in 1813, and directed
the famous City Concerts in 1818, founded by Mr. Heath,after-
wards Governor of tho Bank of England. Sir G. Smart was
conductor of the musical festivals in Norwich, York. Derby,
Liverpool,and Manchester. In 1836 he it troduced, for I he first
time in this country, Mendelssohn's oratorio "St. Paul," at
Liverpool. In the same year he conducted the famed Man-
chester festival, at which three entire streets were covered
over and connected for the concluding fancy ball, at
which 7,000 persons were present. It was at this meeting
that Malibran died. From 1813 up to the period of
their extinction by the Sacred Harmonic Society, Sir
George Smart directed the Lenten oratorios both at Covent-
garden and Drury-lane Theatres. He was director of the
music at Covent-garden Theatre under the management of
Charles Kemble, and it was Sir George who engaged Weber
to compose "Oberon" for that establishment. Weber was
the guest of Sir George Smart at the time. The great
German composer died in Sir George's hosts°, 91, Great
Portland-street, on the 4th of June, 1826. Mainly through
the continuous efforts of Sir George, aided by Benedict,
Weber's pupil, the Dresden statue to the renowned com-
poser of the " Freischutz " was erected, England having
contributed the largest amount of the subscription
which was raised for "Weber's monument. Sir
George was knighted in Dublin in 1811 by the
Duke of Richmond, Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. Sir
George was a careful and conscientious musician, and
possessed a demonstrative ability, which particularly de-
veloped itself in the arrangements of great concerts and
festivals. His integrity secured for hint the respect of
the artistes, native and foreign, with whom he came in
contact for more than threescore years. He was
past 80 before ho ceased to give singing lessons, and
his father, a music publisher in Argyle-street, having
heard Handel conduct his oratorios, transmitted the
traditions to Sir George, who consequently became the
master of almost every singer who desired to acquire the
true liandelian style and time. He taught Sontag and
Jenny Lind oratorio music. Sir George has left a widow
and one daughter. His nephew (the son of the Mr. Smart
who was leader of the Drury-lane, Covent-garden, and
Lyceum bands, who died in Dublin in 1823) is the organist
and composer, Mr. Henry Smart. The long career of Sir
George may be judged When it is recollected that he lived
in the days when Haydn, Mozart, Clementi, Dussek,
Cherubini, Spohr, Auber, Spontiui, Rossini, Donizetti, Bel-
. Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer were in full force. His
artistic reminiscences included the names of Paussozini,
the tenor, Signor Gabrielli, Miss Davies, Signor Racchie-
rotti, Madame Mora, Signora Storace, Madame
Mrs. Billington, Madame Catalini, Madame Pasta,
Velluti, Ambrogetti, Naldi, De Begnis, Bartleman, Bra-
ham, Bellamy, Vaughan, Garcia (father of Malibran and
Viardot), Madame Vestris, when she sang at the King's
Theatre (now her Majesty's), Mrs. Salmon, Miss Stephens
(Countess Dowager of Essex), Miss Paton (Lady W.
Lennox and Mrs. Wood), Miss M. Tree (Mrs. Bradshaw),
the Misses Cawse, Miss Inverarity, Miss Sheriff, Miss
Romer, &c. Art advancement has made rapid strides since
Sir George was in full force at the head of all our musical
undertakings, but his name will bo held in respect as an
able musician and as a thoroughly honest man.

The Pall Mall Gazette states that an appeal to
the louse of Lords has been lodged in the case of Mrs.
Ryves, who claims to be the Princess Olive of Cumberland.
