PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.

The first of these admirable performances took place last
night. A very crowded room gave evidence that the interest
which these concerts have excited has in no way diminished.
All the most distinguished members of the musical profess•
sion, and a large number of the elite of the amateurs attended.
Among Ithe latter we observed the Earls of Liverpool, West-
morland, Cawdor, and Falmouth.
The following admirable selection we anticipate as the com-
mencement of a most brilliant. season :

this Society? . The vocal parts were in admirable keeping with
the instrumental se:ection, and the singers exerted themselves
in a manner to obtain the well-merited applause of the audi-

the Direetors and performers for the very admirable concert of
last evening. By the bye, we never saw so many handsome
women in 1 he. Hauover-square Rooms at any previous concert
of the PhilhartriOnle.

NihER EXPEDITION.—Letters have been re-
ceived by the Wesleyan Alissionary Society, announcing the
safe arrival at Kumisi, the capital of Ashantee, of Prince Wil-
liam Quantamissah, and Prince John Ausah, the sons of the
reigning Monarch of that country. These two interesting
youths, who for some time been in this country for im-
provement in their education, left for their return in the late
ill-fated Niger expedition. They left Cape Coast Castle on
7th November last, and were accompanied by Mr. Freeman
and Mr. Higgins, two newly-appointed missienaries to that
country.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
-Vittbltt Optuton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
The original columns of the Paris journals are wholly without
interest, for there are no subjects of importance before the
public which have sufficient freshness for comment. As an
instance of the difficulty which our Paris Contemporaries have
in finding anything to talk about, we may mention that the
Courrier Francats has a column of leader upon the report of
a misunderstanding between the Emperor Nicholas and his son-
in-law, the Duke de Leuchtenberg, and of a project of the Em-
peror to give his daughter, the Grand Duchess Olga, to the
Duke de Bordeaux. The Courrier indulges in a variety of
speculations on this report.
It is reported (says the Constitutionnel), that the Ministry
has at length given orders that the Spanish refugees, who had
for the last month assembled on the frontiers of Spain, and who
had organised juntas, shall be again sent into the interior at a
distance of at least forty leagues from the frontier.
By Hoyal ordonnanees, Rear-Admiral Ducrest de Ville-
neuve, Alaritime Preket at Lorient, is placed in the second
section, or section of reserve, of Admirals. Rear-Admiral
Menotti% ier Defresne, Major-General of Marine at Brest, is
appointed 'Maritime Prefect at Lorient, in the room of Rear-
Admiral Ducrest de Villeneuve ; and Rear-Admiral Kerdrain
is appointed Major-General of Marine at Brest.
The States of Wurtemberg are now occupied in discussing
a bill, brought forward by the Minister of the Interior, for con-
structing railroads throughout that kingdom, so asto connect
them with the various lines of the neighbouring States.
From Madrid we have accounts of the sth. The French
had taken some steps towards settlir g the Salavandy affair, but
had changed their minds, and the affair remains in statu quo.
We have received Lisbon news to the 7th inst., brought by
the Montrose steamer. The Queen, having refused to grant
decorations to the chiefs of the late Chartist movement, had
given dissatisfaction to their friends, and had occasioned a re-
port of the dissolution of the Cabinet.
A letter from Oporto mentions that the Spanish troops had
withdrawn from the northern frontier, and there were reports
of an insurrection in the north of Spain. It was reported also
by passengers arrived from the south of Spain that a Christino
movement was on the point of breaking out in Andalusia.
The Constantinople Correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette
writes, on the 16th ult. :—" A report is current that the Bri-
tish Ambassador has recommended the Porte to accede to
the representations of the Great Powers on the subject of the
affairs of Mount Lebanon, and has proposed, as a candidate for
its Cos ernorship, Emin, the third son of the Emir Beschir.
Upon this, Sarim Effendi made inquiries as the views of
Emin, et ho replied that he could not return into Syria with-
out his father. Hence new difficulties have arisen, for the
English refuse all confidence in the Emir Beschir, whom they
consider to be a partisan of France.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 26.—Preparations are making
here for the King of Prussia, expected to visit the naval
arsenal and flag-ship. The arrival of Prince Albert is
also confidently spoken of. .
The Warspite, 50, Capt. Lord John Hay, C. 8., is to
take out Lord Ashburton (appointed special Minister to
Washington), and will be completed with all expedition,
to proceed to New York.
The Hastings, 72, Capt. Lawrence, is in this harbour
from the Mediterranean, to be paid off forthwith, and
fitted for the flag (white at the mizen) of Rear-Admiral
Sir Thomas Cochrane, Knight, C. 8., as second in com-
mand to Vice-Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, in the China
seas. Capt. Henry Bruce, 1821, is to be Flag-Captain,
and Lieut. James Caldwell late of the nritannia, to be
Flag-Lieutenant.
Several promotions, consequent on the arrival of the
King of Prussia in this country, will take place in both
services.

The Illustrious, 72, Captain Erskine, arrived at New
York from Spithead on the 30th December, with his Ex-
cellency, Sir C. Bagot, Governor-General of Canada, on
board, and after repairing her defects, occasioned by
heavy weather, was to sail for Halifax to join Vice-Ad-
miral Sir Charles Adam, on the Bth January.
. Letters from the Ganges, 84, of the 2d instant, state
the ship in Malta Harbour, all well, and that the report
of her being ordered home is unfounded. She would
not leave the station until the arrival of the new Admiral
from England (daily expected), when Sir Francis Mason
was to proceed in the Vanguard, 84, to take the com-
mand in the Tagus.
The Implacable, 72, Captain llarvey, is gone into Ha-
moaze, to be paid off, having left Gibraltar on the 2(1
inst. with the Hastings, 72, since arrived at this port.
The Alfred. 50, Captain J. Brett Purvis, may be ex-
pected at Spithead about the Ist of February ; but men
enter for her at Sheerness very slowly. Her destination
is Rio de Janeiro.

The Rhadamanthus, steam transport, Mr. Lane, Master,
from Woolwich, takes out a detachment of Engineers, and
Sappers and Miners, for the repair of the fortifications of
Gibraltar, thence proceeding to Corfu and Malta.
The Vengeance, 80, it is reported, will shortly be com-
missioned here. She has never yet been to sea.
The Powerful, 84, is ordered to be taken into dock, to
ascertain her fitness for re-commissioning.
At Spithead—Queen, 110.
In Harbour—St. Vincent, Victory, Hastings, Excel-
lent, Royal George yacht, Carysfort, Nautilus and
Rapid.—Brighton Gazette.

THEATRICALS.

•
The Garrick Club at Cambridge have been giving two
performances for the benefit of the distressed Printers,
by which, we are happy. to say, a sum of upwards of
501. was realized, after paying all the expenses. On the
first night the comedy of The Wonder was played, fol-
lowed, by the farce of Love, Law, and Physic ; and on
the second evening Sheridan Knowles's beautiful play
of The 11' ife was performed, with the after-piece of
Kill or Cure. The male characters were well supported
by amateurs ; the female characters being performed
by professionals expressly engaged for the occasion.
Among these Miss Montgomery, late of the Southampton
Theatre, is deserving of especial notice, from her beau-
tiful delineation of the character of Marianne in The
Wife. This young lady copies nature, and not her
predecessors, and her acting goes at once to the heart.
She has created quite a sensation in Cambridge. Ma-
dame de Courcy, an English lady with a French name,
performed the character of Mrs. Brown in Kill or Cure,
with admirable humour. This lady is new to the stage,
but she promises one day to take a lead in the perform-
ance of soubrettes. She sings very tasteHly, which in
an actress is a great acquisition.

TORY FAIR FL AYO-.....M0R E OF IT.—We
understand that Mr. James Hope,
,jun., W.S., was some
time ago appointed agent for the officers of State, by Sir
William Rae; and he has recently also been appointed
agent for the Treasury in Scotland by the Government.
This last office was held by a respectable professional
gentleman (a Whig), who has been displaced to make
way for Mr. Hope, although the aloe was understood to
be a permanent one.—Caledonian Mercury.
London, England, 1842-01-27

applied to the party against whom the present applica
tion was made; to deliver up the deeds and documents of-
the Company, which the party in question hadrefused to
do, alleging that he had a lien upon them for his bill of
costs, amounting to upwards of 9001. The affidavits
then proceeded to set forth certain charges against the
party in question, which we do not feel justified in
giving, as the application is an cx parte one.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS thought that such charges
should have been made the subject of an indictment
rather than of such an application as the present ' • how-
ever, under the circumstances, he would grant a rule nisi.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

THE NEW JUDGE.

In the course of the morning, Mr. Cresswell, the
newly appointed successor of Sir John Barnard Bosan-
quet, lately a Justice of this Court, was made a Sergeant-
of-Law, after which the oaths were administered to him,
and he took his seat on the bench ; hitt shortly after •
wards he retired, and his place was taken by Mr. Jus-
tice Maule.

CRANE V. PRICE.

The special argument in this case, which is an action
for the infringement of a patent invention for the smelt-
ing of iron, being adjourned from Saturday; occupied
the Court again during the w hole morning. This
was the third day, but the arguments were of great
length and are purely legal. The matter in dispute seems
sufficiently simple, as it relates only to the question, whe-
ther the defendants using the hot air blast in a manner
somewhht different from that employed by the plaintiffs
is an infringement on the patent of the latter.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 26.

IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM lIATTON.
The insolvent carried on business in the Kingsland-
road as a grocer and baker, and was opposed in person
by Tames Walton, a miller in Hertfordshire, on the
ground of having obtained goods from him by fraudu-
lent representations.
It appeared that the insolvent had dealt some time
with the Opposing creditor, and having lately fallen into
difficulties, Mr. Walton refused to advance any further
goods except for ready money. The insolvent thereupon
stated, that he had become entitled to a large sum in the
Three per Cent. Consols, in consequence of the death of
a distant relative of his wife, who had appointed him
residuary legatee and executor. Upon these represen-
tations, Walton consented to let the insolvent have
goods upon the usual terms of credit, and imagined all
to be going on right in the Kingsland-road, until he re-
ceived a notice that the insolvent was about to pass
through this Court. The insolvent had caused himself
to be taken in a friendly arrest by his brother-in-law for
a small sum, which was alleged to have been due on
some betting transactions connected with the last St.
Leger Races.
The LEARNED COMMISSIONER said this was a case
which required a severe sentence on the part of the
Court,,_ as there was nothing to be more reprehended
than arrests at the suit of friends and relations, for t
purpose of defrauding the legitimate creditors. The
e
sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned for
the term of six calendar months from the date of his
vesting order.

EVENING SUN

THE BLOW-UP.

The herald of the Kirk rebels has announced,
in a demi-official paragraph, that "the liberum
arbitrium may be regarded as now fairly and
finally set aside. Any proposal (it says) for a
settlement on that footing, has never been enter-
tained, except with extreme reluctance, on the
part of those intrusted with the management of
the Church's affairs, and only when it seemed
to be pressed upon them, and they could not
avoid giving a deliverance regarding it."
Now, this is positively one of the most perfect
specimens of sheer impudence that we recollect
to have met with in all our experience. It is
only a short week ago that we proved, by
extracts from Dr. Chalmers's Letters, and the
minutes of this same Non-Intrusion Committee,
as recorded in the published Correspondence
with Lord Aberdeen two years ago, that the
liberum arbitrium was brought forth by Dr.
Chalmers, then the Convener of that Com-
mittee—that it was swaddled and cradled by
Messrs. Dunlop and Candlish, as the leading
members and secretaries of the Committee—
that the Committee adopted it as their own
bantling,--and that instead of being pressed upon
its godfathers and godmothers (for some men
wear petticoats) it was by them pressed upon
Lord Aberdeen with a pertinacity and petulance
which could only be found exemplified in a co-
terie of self-sufficient parsons and their Waristons.
It is not many weekssince this identical Committee
published a supplementary statement to their
former memorial to Government, in which the
liberum arbitrium was explicitly brought under
the consideration of Government, as one of three
modes in which they proposed that an adjust-
ment of all controversy should be effected. 'Tis
true that they intimated that they preferred the
veto and the call to it; but they declared their
readiness to work the liberum arbitrium,
if Government would bring it forward, " upon
its own responsibility," (a phrase which
we do not pretend to comprehend), be-
cause it would constrain them to give up
their benefices ! This to be sure, was a most
pious and praiseworthy motive, which their
countrymen will estimate at its true value ; but
until these worthies bring forth evidence that
this monstrous proposition to establish a naked
and atrocious system of clerical tyranny was
pressed upon the Non-Intrusion Committee ab
extra (as Dr. Chalmers has. it), we repeat our
asseveration, that the statements now put forth-
by that body are a finished specimen of unblush-
ingaudacity and falsehood.—Edinburgh Observer.

CITY OF LONDON REGISTRA-

TION.—(THIS DAY.)
The Clerk of the Needle-makers' Company applied
for permission to insert in the list the name of a
claimant which he had accidentally omitted. The
application was made under the 50th sect. of the Act.
The REVISING BARRISTER did not think that the
section in question empowered him to insert the name.
The section did not apply to cases of total omission.

Mr. Marr objected- to the name of Samuel Lips-
combe, who was described as of " Blackfriar s-
bridge." That could not be considered an address.
The Beadle of the Company said that the man had
been a waterman, but he had not been heard of for
the last thirty-five ears.
The REVISING BARRISTER thought that in this
case no address was in reality given. The man might
be under the bridge as well as over it. lle should
strike out the name.

Some other cases arose, but they offered no poin
of general interest.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)

John Saboni, a man describing himself as an officer
in the army, was charged with obtaining money under
false pretences.
The complainant said that he was a servant, and
that the prisoner came to him and said that he was a
half-pay officer in the army, and that he was going to
be married to a lady of fortune at Gravesend. He
then asked witness for the loan of 501., and which he
advanced him on the faith of his representation, and
he subsequently wanted the loan of 1001. more, when
the witness discovered that the prisoner was in the
habit of raising money by similar means. The
prisoner gave the witness two documents, sealed as he
said with his crest, and which he was to hold as
security for the money. The.documents turned out
to be valueless, the prisoner absconded, and witness
having met him by accident, gave him in charge.
The MAGISTRATE said, that it was clearly a case of
obtaining money under false pretences, and committed
the prisoner for trial.

warehouses of which contain a mass of property whose
value is incalculable.

The early boats, it will readily b, be lieved, were
crowded with parties anxious for the safety of mer-
chandize And buildings belonging to themselves and
their connections; and tl.e vague rumours brought at
a very early hour of the destruction of life which had
unfortunately occurred, rendered many, we have no
doubt, anxious for the personal safety of parties far
removed from danger.
The scene in the neighbourhood of the fire, and
particularly in that of the hospital, to which many of
the unfortunate sufferers were carried, was distress-
ing in the extreme. The police and firemen on duty
were distracted by the application of parties anxious
for intelligence of fathers, brothers, or sons, missing
and supposed to be buried in the burning ruins. Of
course, as yet no satisfactory answer can in many
cases e returned. Many parties missing are no
doubt actively engaged at the fire, and well. Many,
no doubt, will never be heard or, unless the calcined
bones which may be found on clearing away the ruins
may he imagined to belong to them. At the Northern
hospital, crowds of distracted persons were gathered
round the gate anxiously inquiring after the condition
of friends known to have been admitted, or seeking
intelligence of persons for whose safety they were
under apprehension. The scene, as a whole, may be
imagined, but cannot possibly be described. Of the
men admitted here, as described in former editions,
we find, up to this hour, two o'clock, that two, John
Martin and Luke Smith, are dead, besides one man,
name unknown. Robert Black is dangerously ill
(skull fractuted). The remainder, more or less se-
verely injured, are doing well. Two more have been
admitted within the last two hours, and discharged,
after having had their wounds dressed.
We have just heard, as the latest estimate. on
'Change, that the quantity of cotton consumed is
37,000 bags. This will make the total loss half a
million sterling.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
LITERPOOL, FRIDAY NIGHT, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

Throughout the day the fire continued to rage
with awful violence, defying every effort to.check its
progress, the heat being so intense as to prevent ap-

roach Within working distance. Towards four
o'clock every building contiguous being destroyed it
abated, though at the present :moment it presents a
dreadful scene of destruction—one burning =Ss of
ruins, consisting of about forty warehouses, dwelling-
houses, and bonded sheds. Several fatal accidents
have occurred, principally to the firemen, from the
falling of the walls. The scene of this terrible c,on-
tiai.4.ration has been visited by thousands (hiring !the
day, and the town is in a state of great excitement.

" Two hundred and thirty-one passengers, chiefly

Only 72 escaped, as it were, by a miracle, and were
taken on hoard the French schooner L'Eclair. The

protected them in their distress from further mo-

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.

Mr. M'Christie, the Revising Barrister, took his
seat in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, at ten
o'clock yesterday morning.
The lists of liverymen were proceeded with.
The name of Jacob Hatherley was struck off the
inn-keepers' list. It was proved that Hatherley had
died in 1823, although his name had ever since regu-
larly appeared in the lists Made out by the
overseers. The Clerk of the Company said
he had no doubt but there were other names
of parties long dead, appearing in the lists in the same
way. Samuel Barpitt, who had formerly kept the
Three Coats Inn, London-wall, and who was proved
to have been two years dead, was struck off the list.
Some other cases arose, but which possessed no
public interest, and in many of which the decision was
postponed till to-day.
