MISS WHITNALL'S CONCERT LAST NIGHT.

This talented lady's concert took place last evening in
the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street. The hall was
densely crowded in every part, and several hundreds were
obliged to return home, being unable to gain admission.
The Various performers on the occasion were Mrs. Sun-
derland, Miss Whitnall, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Blagrove,
and the truly inimitable John Parry. Altogether the
entertainment went off exceedingly well. Mrs. Sunder-
land was in excellent voice, and several of her songs
were deservedly encored. Her brilliant execution of
the song, " Love rules the Palace," was enthusiasti-
cally received. Miss Whitnall also sang exceedingly
well. Mr. Blagrove's performance in the " concertina
was universally admired. Mr. John Parry was, as usual,
full of humour. He gave, in the first part, " Bluebeard,"
and, being encored, substituted his well-known song of
" Matrimony." In the second part he gave " Miss
Harriet and her governess," which elicited roars of
laughter. Mr. Robinson executed the song " Down
among the dead men" with much taste and feeling. The/
numerous attendance must have been exceedingly grati-
fying to Miss Whitnall.

THE LION OF LISKEARD.—Mr. Charles Buller is—
without any apparent consciousness of the fact—one of
the most ligneous elements which were ever worked up
into the threshold of a cabinet. It is not yet enshrined
within that mystic Ministerial sanctuary : but this he
looks upon merely as an untoward accident—not as a
result of the " eternal fitness" (or unfitness) of things.
Her Majesty's Cabinet have had the good luck, or, per-
haps, the good sense, (for they have in their make-shift
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Wood enough, in all con-
science !) not yet to have taken Mr. Buller in. He would
have " taken them in," a long time ago, could he have
persuaded them to let him try his hand in India, as he
did so advantageously in Canada. He reiterated, at this
Liskeard dinner, his acknowledgements of the " very
humble part" he acted in the existing Administration,
with more than pharisaical self-abasement. Yet his
exalted self-love pervaded every other sentence of the ad-
dress which he delivered. In his heart of hearts he ob-
viously feels that the men of Liskeard are to be numbered
among the happiest of the human family, for having se-
cured his valuable services, to represent them in Parliament.
' The Whigs, he contended, had done much to advance
the cause of liberal opinions. His own liberal opinions
and his family's attachment to the Whigs, had done more,
for they had induced the sacrifice of the Buller borough
interest on the altar of Reform ; but the men of Liskeard
had done most—beating Whigs and Liberalism hollow by
returning him, their own Charles, to the reformed par-
liament in reward for the decisive part he had taken in that
"consecration (we use his own phrase) of such rotten-bo-
rough property. He seems to have laboured under some
difficulty himself, in attempting to determine, for the be-
nefit of his hearers, whether the cause of parliamentary
reform should be considered the more fortunate in having
enlisted him as its champion, or the constituency of Lis-
keard in having returned him for their representative.
Perhaps the learned gentleman's difficulty resolves itself
into a conviction that he has proved a double beatitude—
a blessing to both. In the Memoirs of P. P., Clerk of
our Parish, the witty biographer records of himself, in a
similar spirit, that the present of a chime of bells having
been made to the Church on the anniversary of his own
birth—" " it has been wittily said that one and the same
day had given to the parish two most rare gifts ; to wit,
its bells and its parish clerk." Thus, too, Mr. Buller
congratulates the Liskeard electors on their double right
to be proud of him and their own cause ! We quote the
words of the Times report of the speech :—"You may plume
yourselves upon having sent me to parliament." ( Ofortu-
nati ninium, sua si bona ndrint !) The reader will observe
that Mr. Buller must have uttered this plumy passage
seriously, there is no interpolated commentary by the
reporter of " Laughter, and cries of 'Oh ! oh !, " But
we proceed with the text—" to oppose a popular Minister
supported by a great majority of the House of Commons.
But I know of nothing so gratifying to you, as men of
intelligence, as to find, when you sent me there for that
purpose, that without going back from a Single proposi-
tion, I, the Liberal representative of a Liberal constitu-
ency, could conscientiously give my vote in support of
the great proportion of the measures proposed by a Tory
Government." That ought to have been a subject of
conscious pride and solid gratification, indeed, to the fore-
casting and far-seeing electors.—John Bull.
That eminent vocalist, Mrs. Wood will sing at two
grand concerts, at the Concert-hall, on Monday and Wed-
nesday next. The other principal singers will be Miss
Whitnall, Signor Sapio, and Mr. Ryalls.
THEATRE-ROYAL.—At this establishment Mr. Buck-
stone and the Fitzwilliams, mother and daughter, are re-
engaged, and appeared last night in the Green Bushes,
the Unfinished Gentleman, and a farce. The house con-
tinues to fill nightly.
An agency for the Defender Life and Fire Assurance
Office (an old-established company) has been opened in
this town by Mr. W. Bennett, of Lord-street.
RURAL SPORTS AT TRANMERE.—On Thursday last, a
series of fine' Old English sports came off at Tranmere
Castle Hotel, including climbing of may-poles, foot
races, athletic games, &c. The whole went off with the
greatest ecldt and good humour. The arrangements at
the hotel were admirably suited to give satisfaction to all
present, and the fun was kept up until a late hour. Mrs.
ernihough, . the worthy landlady, purposes, we under-
stand, to open her accustomed stand at the approaching
Chester races on the 7th and Bth instant. Messrs. W,
and T. Fernihough will be in attendance, and their well-
known courtesy and kindness will, we trust, secure them
all their former friends, and an accession of new visitors.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
(BY EXPRESS.)

LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY.

This morning's supply of Wheat, by land carriage sample,
from Essex and Suffolk, was very short; that from Kent Wag
rather more liberal, but still only a moderate one. For the
former an advance of 3s. to 4s. per quarter was established
upon the rates of this day week; but the Kentish factors could
not exceed the prices of that day by more than 28. per quart.er.
There was rather an increased demand this morning for foreign
Wheat, at an improvement of Is. to 2s. per quarter. Selected
samples of malting Barley brought is. per quarter more moneY!
but other qualities were not dearer. Oats sold slowly at about
the same terms as last week. Peas were scarce, and 2s. dearer.
Beans unaltered in value.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
We have very nearly as many Beasts as on Monday last, and
the average quality much improved. Trade is still yerX
heavy, yet prices are no lower, and the best qualities will 09,
be sold, but several inferior remain unsold. The number of
Sheep is considerably smaller, but the demand is so yeli
limited that a clearance cannot be effected. Good Sheep are
scarce, and make about the same price as of late, but the
larger proportion being very middling, meetwith a heavy trade
at rather less money. Trade is very slow for Calves, and Fri:
day's quotations are with difficulty supported. Pigs are 1113`
selling quite so well.

UNDRESS CONCERT OF THE PHILHARMONIC

SOCIETY, LAST NIGHT.

The opening portion of the performance of the societp
last night, was occupied with the first part of Haydn 3
Seasons—Spring—which was very effectively gone through,
especially the music given by Mr. Armstrong and gr'
Parsons. The second part consisted of selections from
Beethoven, Bishop, and othercomposers. The pieces most
adthired were Bishop's glee, " Where art thou," which
was beautifully sung by Mrs. Parsons, Miss Stott, Mr'
Ryalls and Mr. Armstrong; and Beethoven's Finale to
Fidelio by the same vocalists, with Mr. Jackson added.
The Overture in the second' part was Cenerentola, which
we have seldom heard more finely played. The concert
was well attended, and appeared to give, as it deserved?
very general satisfaction.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A LADY BY FIB.'
Sunday morning, about three o'clock, a fire was,", at
vered in the bedroom of a lady named Pochin, resiallbe
17, Seymour-street, Portman-square. The whole leo ,
bedding and drapery were in flames, and the night c 79,5
of the unfortunate lady were also burning. The fire 44
soon extinguished, and a medical man promptly etnso
on Mrs. Pochin, but she was so frightfully burned lff,
she expired early on Monday morning, after terrible, s"g
fering. From the fact of a book and candlestick
alip
found in bed it is supposed that Mrs. Pochin was re unto
in bed, and that she must have fallen asleep, and u',to
she became surrounded with the flames was unoonsicie'ld,
of what had happened. On Tuesday an inquest was nt
when it was proved that Mrs. Pochin was in the cons''eci
habit of reading in bed, and from the evidence it apPea
that she had been doing so on the night of the fire.
ADVICE TO TRISH REPEALERS.—It is the merest dreg

gaged estates in Ireland. A short time back a little b 0,,,
was published containing an account of the actual CO the
