KING'S THEATRE.—Mademoiselle SONTAG
gave P. Dramatic Concert at this Theatre last night, which,
as usual, was fully and fashionably attended. The chief
attraction of the evening—and a great attraction it was—
was the performance of a few scenes from the Lyric Opera
(it "Die Schweizer Famine," in which Mademoiselle
Sot:Tao sustained the part of Emmeline, and Monsieur
and Madame SCHUTZ those of Richard and James. The
picturesque, but simple attire of the Swiss Peasant Girl,
admirably suited the person and countenance of Mademoi-
selle SONTAG, who warbled her sweet mountain airs with
taste and sensibility. On the fall of the curtain she was
loudly called for, and, accompanied by Monsieur and Ma-
dame SCHUTZ, made her graceful acknowledgments to the
audience.

HAYMA R K ET TN EA T RE.—The fine old
Comedy of " The Clandestine Marriage," was performed
here lust night, on which occasion a Mr. FRIDE/LICX made
his first appearance in the character of Sir John Melvil.
Fie played it with spirit and some degree of intelligence.
Mr. RannEs's Lord Ogleby, as usual, was admirable.

ARGYLL Roods.---A Concert was given
yesterday morning at these Rooms, in aid of funds for
building a Catholic Chapel at Dungar►on, in Ireland.
Madame CAP.Anoßt's Una voce was a delightful specimen
of her vocal abilities ; and Mitts IZACON, in an air by
CIMAROSA) displayed powers of voice, with a correct taste,
which May justly rank her among the first of our nati7e
vocalists. Madame PASTA'S 17 SOCIVE is too well known to
require comment. BRAIIAM and Plumes were very sue..
eeasful in a pretty ballad by PARRT.
There is a tradition of QUIN, one night on
his way to dress for Oti►ello, looking through the curtain, and
seeing a very thin pit, exclaiming, " H,►ng 'em they are
not worth blackening one's face fi)t. ; I think I shall play
it. white."

The Parisian critics are quite satirical upon
the English for what they style their Sontagmanic, and
are warm in praise of their new prima Donna, Madame
IIALIBRA/4 GARCIA-, who continues to fill the! align
Theatre in Paris. Indeed, the Parisians have cause to be
proud of this lady; for, taken as an actress and singer
combined, there is not her superior in Europe, and yet she
was in Paris several months before she could obtain an en-
4-agement.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 23.—We have had a
pleßtiful supply of all kinds of meat, which was in good
demand—Beef, 6d. to 6i-d. ; Mutton, 6d. ; and Lamb,
:iv. to 6d. per lb. Few things left unsold.

On Monday, Tuesday, and yesterday, there was a nu-
merous assemblage of Noblemen, Gentlemen, and amateurs
of Cricket, at Lord's Ground, St. John's Wood, to witness
the grand match between eleven players, whose names be-
gin with 8., anti eleven of England. The match excited
a considerable degree of interest and from the superior play
anticipated, a number of the Nobility and Gentry arrived
from Norwich, Brighton, and other parts of the country,
to be present. The following is the result of the match :

THE FINE ARTS.—Many of our readers are
aware that Mr. 11. B. CHALON, the eminent artist,
whose paintings of subjects connected with tie animal
creation have long since earned for him an imperishable
celebrity, has been for some time a resident in this neigh-
bourhood. 'We regret to learn, that through the caprice,
or wine still more objectionable feeling, of the committee
with whom the selection of pictures for the public Exhi-
bition of the Royal Academy rests, this accomplished gen-
tleman has been unfairly treated. Mr. CHALON trans-
mitted to the committer, for exhibition during the present
season, four pictures, comprising—Matilda, the winner of
the last Doncaster St. Leger; a beautiful piebald ass, the
property of Scorr the trainer, with the portrait of his
daughter, and a well-known favourite dog ; a game piece
—a woodcock, from nature ; and, lastly, a pony, the pro-
perty of .11c. a LpEasoN. Now, from the popularity of
the first-mentioned subject (particularly when we mernisn
r kty
that the Exhibition contains no portrait of the St. Leger
winner), and from the note
of the second—the ani-
mal belonging to SCOTT, a beautiful creature of its
being well known to sporting men—it was natural to cots-
elude that these two would have been selected for public
exhibition. Instead of this being the case, however, the
two latter pictures, neither of them possessing the least
public interest, have been chosen; and, to add to the in-
justice thus done to Mr. C., they are placed in so lofty a
situation that it is impossible for visitors to ascertain
whether they are worthy attention, or mere daubs. The
woodcock is a piece of most elaborate and delicate finish,
and, bad it been placed in such a situation as that the pub-
lie oould have had an opportunity of appreciating its beau-
ties, the rejection of Matilda would have been less repre-
hensible than we arc obliged to pronounce it, under the
present circumstances: Such, however, are the difficul-
ties and vexations with which ,operior talents have to
contend, in these days of liberality and
Ault Packet.
