ST. GEORGE'S HALL.—A concert was given last even-
ing by Mr. 144‘Gregor Simpson, the eminent Scottish
harmonist, who was well supported on the occasion by
his " brethren of the mystic tie," and other numerous
admirers of his talents, who thronged to the hall of
melody in St. George's-road. Mr. W. G. Ross ant
other well-known singers contributed, to the entertain-
ments of the evening, in addition to the beneficiare, who
rave several of his celebrated Jacobite songs with great
applause, and introduced his latest composition, "0,
diuna cross the burn, Willie." The performance of his
brother, Mr. Thomas Simpson, piper of the 79th High-
landers, on the national instrument, and the spirit and
agility of Mr. Macbean, who gave the sword dance,
attired in the Highland garb, contributed likewise to the
general satisfaction of the audience.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tues.
dey,—There has been a very flat market to-day, the
demand for all counts of yarns being exceedingly limited,
and although there may not be a decided fall in prices,
still some spinners would enter into contracts at 1-16th
to 1 Btb per lb. decline of last Tuesday's rates. In cloth
there is very little doing ; manufacturers are compelled
to make a concession to induce purchasers to buy.
MEROPOLITAN (BOARD OF WORKS.—At the meeting
held yesterday, Mr. J. Thwaites.in the chair, a letter
was read from the secretal of the Croydon Local Board,
inquiring whether the Croydon sewage could be taken
into the metropolitan sewers, A resolution was passed
that it was not in the power of the board to grant the
appluatioe. Application was also made from the Lam-
beth vestry fur permis-ion to borrow on the credit of the
rates 9,0001., to defray the expenses of constructing cer-
tain drains. The application was granted.
NOVEL INVENVON.—It might be thought that the
almost entire loss of health which to so large an extent
arises from exposure to the sudden changes of the atmo-
sphere would have originated some effectual kind of pro-
tection for ladies while passing to their carriages, in fall-
dress costume, from the Opera, er other place of fashion-
able resort where the air is at a high temperature. What,
however, is the practice ? What do we actually witness
at the termination of any gathering of the beau monde,
where groups of lightly-dressed, elegant, and delicate
figures come forth from suffocating heat to the rude winds
of a bitter winter's night to await the arrival of their car-
riages One beholds the strange phenomenon of men
well buttoned up in great costa and mufflers, while the
softer sex are less clothedthis
raenedklepsrs exposure l p
protected than
ooubtias
on any
other occasion. Why
It is consequent on the want of some full-dress graceful
cloak, constructed to exhibit the desired effect in the
concert-room or theatre, and without trouble to form it-
selt into a means of secure protection from cold on leav-
it. This grand desideratum appears now to be ac-
complished ; and if the invention, illustrated in the May
Fashions of the Illustrated London News even approaches
the perfection which it is there said to possess, the ladies

will bave substantial reason to remember the inventors
and p ttentees, Messrs. Jay and Smith, the proprietors
of the Spon2al.a, in Iteent-street.
