VOCAL CONCRRT.---.Phis excellent Concert con•
eluded last night at the Hanover-square Rooms,
with the same eclat as attended all the preceding
performances, In justice to the Conductors It
should be said that they displayed great liberality
in engaging the best Vocol and Instrumental l'er•
formers, as well as judgment in the selection of
the various compositions. They were anxious, it
seems, to engage TIARA, and she was not less so-
licitous to perform, but the severity of the season,
and perhaps the nature of the climate, after so
long an absence abroad, retarded her recovery.

IMPROVI3MRNT Jri TRADE.—The trade is now
getting a little better in this quarter, particularly
during the last week. The amendment is most
conspicuous in the fancy weaving. In Paisley,
plaids or scarfs, and split harness shawls, have
advanced about lid, on the shilling in the price
of weaving. In Glasgow, fine plain work is easily
got. Cypress weavers are in some request.--.

ANOTHER ESCAPE FROM POISON..--. 011 Saturday
last, as Mr. CAMPBELL, the Army Agent, was
driving in a gig to his villa at Harrow, Mr. C,
al-
lowed his horse to tumble down, by which he was
thrown out of his carriage and received a conside-
table injury. The surgeon who saw him pre-
scribed an internal medicine, as welt as some ex-
ternal application, and terrible to relate, Mr.
CAMPBELL swallowed what was intended as
an application to the bruise. This consisted
of a very poisonous material, and we have
been informed that the mistake arose limn
the boy who compounded the medicine put-
ting the wrong label on what wcts meant for the
internal medicine.—We again express our hope,
that from the frequency of such accidents legal
measures will be contrived to avert such serious
and dangerous evils to which the public are daily
exposed.—(Morning Post.)
