;aye her in charge

We are gratified to find that a remedy has at length been
discovered for the relief of the peculiar noise or nervous
irritation that accompanies deafness. Musk passed in va-
pour into the internal ear, by quieting the irritative action,
gives tone and.energy to the pents within the ear, and in a
short time completely removes the cause of irritation. Mr.
Cronin may well feel proud of this successful experiment,
which promises decided benefit to the sufferer. We perceive
by Mr. C.'s advertisement he intends paying our Manchester
friends a visit.

AMATEUR PERFORMANCE.-To-night an' amateur per-
mnance will take place at the Amphitheatre, when some of
ur young Liverpool blades will " strut and fret their hour
pon the stage." We hope they will be well supported, as
heir " intent " is " charitable," the proceeds of the house
,eing for the benefit of the Bluecoat Hospital. Report
peaks highly of the getting-up of the pieces, which are
order the direction of Mr. Marshall, of the Liver Theatre.
Chat most delightful actress, Mrs. Gordon, plays Emily
V.orthinylon, in the " Poor Gentleman." There is much
alent and true acting in Mrs. Gordon. The Liverpool
daygoers have not as yet had an opportunity of seeing this
ady in parts wherein she can display her abilities.
MEwitNc, OF I.3I.NCKS AND CO., CREDITORS, OF MAN-
MIESTER.-Op Tuesday the first meeting of credifors under
Ads fiat was held, being for the proof of debts and to choose
assignees. It was dated 15th March. The bankrupts, Mr.
Sohn R. Hayward and William Cosier Fletcher, were in at-
tendance. Several extraordinary disclosures were made at
the meeting relative to certain transactions which the bank-
rupts had had with other parties. It appeared they endea-
voured to establish themselves in London and elsewhere, and
carried on business in the names of other parties. The
amount of debts proved during the day was between £50,000
and £60,000. Besides the amount of £9,363 proved by the
Union Bank, the amount proved by the Bank of Manchester
was £20,316 ; the South Lancashire Bank, £654 ; Messrs.
Orr and CO. (on bills), £696 4s. 6d. ; Messrs. Seeley and
Burnside, £302 ss. 4d. ; Messrs. Charles Knight and Co.
£5,900. The meeting terminated a little before four o'clock.
STREET ROBBERY.--A man, named John Wilson, was, on
Monday, placed before Mr. Rushton, charged by a farmer
named Nathan Lovelady, with having attempted to rob him
on the previous morning. It appeared that on Saturday
evening the complainant had been at a friend's house in the
New Haymarket, which he left early the following morning.
He was proceeding home on foot up London-road, and, on
turning into Anson-street, the prisoner and another man
laid hold of him to get their hands into his pockets, in which
was £7 9s. Od.—but the old man being resolute prevented
them, when Wilson (the prisoner) struck him on the face
and knocked him down. They again attempted to rifle his
pockets, but he struggled with them and called out, when
police-constable No. 216, hearing the cry, saw the prisoner
and his companion making off, but he succeeded in capturing
Wilson. The prisoner was committed for trial.
MODEL OF DUBLIN.—This very beautiful model has not
been visited by the numbers of visitors we certainly antici-
pated. We are quite convinced that, if its merits were suf-
ficiently known, instead of a few dozen persons peeing it per
day, as many hundreds would inspect it. It is without ex-
ception the most exquisite work we ever saw. The houses
are all made of wood : the little gardens, which abound
throughout the Irish metropolis, are distinctly laid out, even
to their very flower-beds. On looking at the model, one
might fancy oneself in a balloon, gazing down upon " the
swate city" : the Liffey, like a silver snake creeping through
it, has its banks covered with warehouses, &e. Take our
advice, good reader, and see the model of Dublin. You will
be highly gratified, we promise you. Should you be an
" Emeralder," a view of what Judy of Roundwood was
wont to call " the Cit. of Dub. with Trin. C 01.," will do you
good.

LIVERPOOL FEMALE PENITENTIARY.—The annual meet-
ing of the subscribers and friends to this institution was held
in the Charitable Institution House, on Tuesday evening.
Sir Joshua Walmsley was called to the chair, and opened the
meeting with some very pertinent remarks upon the import-
ance and value of an institution which had now been esta
blished thirty years, and had been productive of so much
good amongst a class of individuals so greatly to be pitied for
their great degradation. John Cropper, jun., Esq., in the
absence of the treasurer, Mr. Joseph King, read the audited
cash account, and explained the financial circumstances of
the charity. It appeared that the institution was upwards of
£5OO. in debt. The report of the committee was then read.
It appeared that out of 103 applications for admission during
the last year, 63 were received, being all that came within
the rules. Twenty-one had been restored to their friends or
placed out to respectable service, after having been their full
time in the house; fifty-seven still remained, and the sum of
£423. 16s. 11d. had been received for work done by the peni-
tents during the last year. The adoption of the report was
moved by the Rev. Charles Haydon, Wesleyan minister, who
commented upon the facts stated therein in a very judicious
and eloquent speech. The Rev. F. F. Barker moved the re-
solution of the appointment of the officers and committee for
the year ensuing. He urged the claims of the institution
upon the regard of the benevolent part of the community.
Several gentlemen briefly addressed the auditory, when the
thanks of the meeting were voted to the chairman, who ac-
knowledged the-token of respect, and headed a subscription
for the reduction of the debt by a donation of ten pounds,
which example was followed by some others. Several new
subscriptions were also announced.

THEATRE-ROYAL.—After an absence of a few brief years
Mrs. Warner has again come amongst .us. What she was
when she quitted the Liverpool company any playgoer can
remember. She has returned with her talents matured,—
her style if anything more fascinating, and her person lovlier
than ever. Her welcome was the most enthusiastic we have
witnessed for many a day. Her Lady Macbeth, on Monday
night, was a fine conception. She fully developed the poet's
creation, and gave us a true impersonation of the bold, daring,
and ambitious woman, who will allow no obstacle to stand
between her and her husband's, preferment. Mr. Charles
Kean, who made his first appearance this season as the
" Thane," played it extremely well. It was replete with
those bursts of genius which electrify and delight as well as
astonish. Mr. Charles Kean is in full possession of the sub-
tleties of his art, and we are glad to uphold him as the first
actor of his day. Mr. Charles Kean is not without his
faults, but we are always too much delighted with him to
notice them. Mr. Stuart's Macduff was very cleverly and
judiciously played.. Few men know isnd understand Shakspere
better than Mr. Stuart. " Macbeth" bas been got up in a
splendid style. The audience appeared quite surprised at
the new scenery presented to their view, while "the appliances
to boot" appeared to afford equal astonishment. If all
Shakspere's plays were represented with the same care and
expense, we are confident crowded houses would well repay
any manager for his outlay and risk. We have never seen
" Macbeth" produced in the provinces so expensively as at
the Theatre-royal at present.—On Tuesday "The Stranger"
' was played—Mrs. Warner as Mrs. Haller, and Mr. Charles
Kean as The Stranger, his first appearance here in the cha-
racter. He played it with great ability, though it afforded
little scope for display. His description of his wrongs was,
finely given—his earnestness thrilled through the audience,
and drew forth a burst of applause. Mrs. Baker played the
Countess Wintersen very nicely. Mr. Bland made the
most of the Count. Baker and Slaiter were extremely droll
.as Solomon and Peter, while Mrs. Clarke's Charlotte, with
her airs and impertinences, was very amusing. But what
shall we say of Mrs. Warner's Mrs. Haller? We may de-
clare, with truth, that so graceful, natural, and so beautiful
an impersonation, has not been seen for many and many a
day. The sympathy of the audience was enlisted towards
the erring but penitent woman from the first ; and pity for
her " stooping to folly" prevailed in the sternest hearts ;
but ,the closing scene was a triumph of histrionic art. Her
pathos, tears, grief, and distress wrung tears from many an
eye, "albeit unused to the melting mood. The poet says,
that
