—We beg to draw attention to Mr. Shade's
advertisement of piano-fortes. From his stock a good in-
strument may be chosen at a very low pride.

We can, from wperience, highly recommend Mr. Eggle-

PORTRAIT OI THE GREAT LIVERFOOL.—A very cleverly
drawn and faithful portrait of the Great Liverpool steamer,
drawn by Mr. Kempe (her second officer), has just made its
appearance. This sketch is spirited. In the back-ground
we have a view of the city of Malta. The middle is occu-
pied by the steamer, while the foreground is judiciously re-
lieved by two or three small Maltese craft. The original
drawing has been charmingly resketched on stone, by that
very clever artist, Herclman. This lithograph will enrich
the portfolio of any collection.
PIANO-FORTE TUNING.—There is nothing so indispen-
sable to the attainment cf a good ear for music, in learners,
as the perfection of an instrument. Very often we have

remarked instruments to be-somewhat out of tune, when the
reply has been, " Oh, Miss So-and-So is only learning."
We make this remark, as we Perceive Mr. Venables, the
instrument-tuner, from Chester, has become a resident here.
and has commenced busineSs, under very good auspices. •He
possesses great musical knowledge, both theoretical and
able to perform whatever he
professes.

LIVER THEATRE.—" Peter Wilkins," the most popular
of all popular fairy tales, has been most excellently drama-
tised at the Liver. The scenery is really beautiful, the
greater portion of it has been painted t'or the occasion. Mrs.
Waylett plays Peter with great naivete and spirit. Mrs.
Barton plays Eureka very nicely. The duet sang by Peter
and his winged love is very pretty. Mr. C. Marshall quite
surprised us as The Wild Man. He is equal to Gouffe in
activity. The sleeping scene is very amusing. Mr. Ray-
mond as an Irishman, Mr. Tilbury as a cautious Scotchman,
and Mr. II iggie as a cockney, were diverting in the extreme.
This is one of the best pieces produced this season, and
draws a tremendous halt' price. The first piece—" Mary
the Maid of the Inn is a drama that cannot fail to delight all
who are fond of the horrible.—Mrs. Waylett to-night takes
her benefit ; so sweet a singer ought to be encouraged. We
believe she will introduce, in the course of the evening, a
new balled, of Mr. Lee's composition, called " I sigh for the
Woods."

SUBSCRIPTION CONCERTS.—On Tuesday evening, the
third subbcription concert of the season took place at the
Theatre Royal. This concert was decidedly the best of the
season. It went off admirably, and appeared to give very
general satisfaction. The overture to William Tell was en-
cored. The precision and spirit with which it was given did
the orchestra infinite credit. Bishops old but charming
ballad of " Meet Again" was delightfully sang by Miss
WOodyatt and Miss Dolby. Mr. Hobbs's ballad of " The
Dying Girl to her Mother" was very charmingly sung by
the composer. It is a very clever composition. Blagrove's
concerto " Mayseder" was excellent. Mr. Blagrove is de-

cidedly the first V•
