one of the gems of the evening. Master Day is already
a fine player, with great execution, and excellent tone and
precision, and is destined, we hope, to take a very
high stand in Nis profession, He was repeatedly and
heartily cheered during his performance. Miss Messent,
we regret, was not very effective with her audience in the
first song set down for her, though it deserved an ample
weed of applause. We attribute this to the song in
question being printed in _ English, whilst the singer

gave an Italian version, which, unless the air is one
well known, embarrasses many hearers. She made np
for it amply, however, in the trio and ballad from Mari-
tano, both of which were encoured. The ballad especi-
ally was given with exquisite feeling and effect. Of Miss
Birch's singing we need say nothing more than that it

J. L. Hatton, was delightfully sung by Miss Birch, and
encored, after which she gave " Hout awa' wi' Jamie,"
very sweetly. Signor Marras, whom we never heard before,
we must notice as an acquisition. Severa.l of the songs
were most effectively sung

ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, a cart was sent by
Mr. Lace, of Bath-street," with a load of potatoes for the
American ship " Hope, lying in the Waterloo Dock.
The cart was placed by the carter opposite to the stage,
but the second mate removed it towards the bow of the
ship, to be more convenient for unloading, in doing which
he unfortunately backed the horse and cart into the dock,
and the horse was drowned before it could be got out.
Sr. MATTHEW'S CHURCH, KEY- STRRET.—We have
much pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to
the advertisement in our paper relative to three sermons
to be preached at St. Matthew's Church, Key-street, on
Sunday next. The clergymen expected are eminent for
their faithful preaching of the truth as it is in Jesus. We
are also happy to find that the congregation is increasing ;
and we are authorised to state there is no truth in the re-
port that the church is about to be dosed.

•Mr. COLE said that matter had been fully discussed In
committee, and it was perfectly understood that the dock
warehouses would come under the same regulations as
any private property. The act they sought was to govern
all.

We learn, from a cotemporary, that there has been for

The schools are stated to have been in a deplorable condi-

NEW STOCK EXCHANGE.—We find we were in error
in announcing a fortnight since, that " the bulk of the
members of the Royal Stock Exchange, and many of those
