DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH.
The Right Rev. William, Bishop of St. Asaph, expired
on Sunday, in London, in the 77th year of his age.
According to the present Act of Parliament, which it will
be remembered was endeavoured to be repealed by a bill,
brought in by Lord Powis during the last session of Par-
liament, the see of St. Asaph will now be merged in that of
Bangor, and s Bishop of Manchester forthwith appointed.

LONDON CORN EXCIIAN3E.—YESTERDAY.
At this day's market there was a fair show of English wheat,
the trade was less buoyant than on Friday, still nearly a clear-
ance was effected at Is. to 2s. per qr. over the currency of this
day week.
Free foreign and barrel Flour in moderate request, and Is
. -

dearer. White Peas and Egyptian Beans fully 2s to 3s'higher.
The Barley trade ruled less brisk. Malsters and distillers
kept more on the reserve. The turn was in favour of buyers,
and the quality not so good as last week. Malt, new Beans,
and hog Peas, held for advanced rates.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MA RKET.—YESTERDAY.
Prime Scots, &c., moved off steadily at last week's quotati-
ons ; but in some instances, the value of the inferior breeds had

culty effected.
The numbers of sheep were again seasonably extensive; yet
the mutton trade was very steady, and last Monday's curren-
cies were readily supported.
In lambs, the numbers of which were good, a full average
amount of business was transacted, at late rates.
The veal trade was steady, at full prices.
Pigs moved off steadily, at our quotations-

The foundation-stone of the new Concert-hall, for the
Philharmonic Society, will be laid on Wednesday week,
the 23rd instant, at one o'clock.

MISS WHITNALL'S ANNUAL GRAND CONCERT.—
This concert was held last night, and a crowded house re-
warded the fair benPfieiare. We regret that we have not
room to say more than that a more enthusiastic scene we
never witnessed.

THE BAKERS' QUESTION.—We are not disposed to
take part either way in this mooted question between two
of our contemporaries. There are no dt,ubt tricks in all
trades, our own not excepted. We are guilty sometimes
of sad adulteration—diluting other people's solid sense
with nur own slip-slop. Some of us puff atrociously,
and our commodity is wanting in weight, whilst others
are too heavy for any thing. It is hard, therefore, that
the poor baker should be selected from the whole batch
of traders for observation, merely bec,.use certain persons
have told the world that, as the result of their pet mea-
sures, bread was to be cheaper than either the importer,
the grower, or the miller can afford to sell it. Why not
ask why boots are not much cheaper, and no better for
the reduction on leather? or why Mercury has been raised
to sixpence, although the duty is taken of all drugs? As
to the short weight part of the business, people should
tee their bread tveiyhed before they pay for it. If they
are afraid to eat alum let them learn to bake at home.
PROHIBITION OF BATHING AT NEW BRIGHTON.—
We are sorry to observe that the over delicacy, which we
thought was confified to the female portion of that people
who can endure the flogging of a naked negro, but are
shocked to see a piano-forte, or a table, with its legs
bare, has invaded this once delightful bathing place. If
people choose to build villas, with sloping lawns, down to
the very edge of the tide, the utmost encroachment which
they ought to be permitted to make upon the healthful
recreations of their neighbours is to prevent any im-
proper exposure being made in front of them, A police-
man or two stationed on the shore during tide time would
effectually manage this. By the bye, cannot the owners
of the soil and the ferry of New Brighton see how this
crotchetty aristrocratic movement must affect the value
of the hotels and other houses which accommodate visiters
during the season ? Next tear, doubtless, invalids will
eschew the Cheshire shore altogether, and seek the more
hospitable resorts of Bootle, 'Waterloo, Crosby, &c.
Very few are likely to permit themselves to be alternately
baked and blinded upon the shore and amongst the sand-
hills of the ullinia table of the Hundred of Wirral, for all
its pretensions to superior gentility, without the occasional
relit: of a dip in its tide.
CHARGE OF DEFRAUDING A BURIAL SOCIETY.—
Yesterday, at the Police-court, Thos. Hardwick Taylor,
a man who has long been connect, d with benefit societies,
as secretary, in this town, was placed at the bar on a
charge of fraudulently appropriating £5, belonging to the
Loyal Philanthropic Burial SoCiety. Several of the offi-
cers of the society appeared against him, and their evi-
dence, and that of a poor woman named Morgan. who
lives in Birkenhead, has a family, and had been a member
of the society named, went to shew that by borrowing her
card, atter she had, by being a defaulter, no further
claims upon it, so altered it by additional figures as to
make it appear that one of her children was dead, for the
funeral expenses of whom he got £5 from the treasurer,
on the representation that he had paid it on seeing her
card. to save her the trouble of again coming across the
water for her money. It appeared, however, tbat all her
children were alive, though not hearty ; inasmuch as they
had been seen with nothing to eat but some potatoes and
salt! The prisoner made a bold defence, and endeavoured
to inculpate the collector, and called some witnesses, but
utterly tailed in making out his assertions. Mr. Rushton
sent him for trial, but, on an application being made,
said he should admit him to bail on two sureties of £5O
each and his own recognizance of £lOO. He afterwards,
on hearing that another charee could be made against the
prisoner, remanded him until this day.

SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—OR Saturday
evening, Mr. Rowlandson gave the first of a series of lec-
tures upon English song, with illustrations, at the Con-
cert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, which was numerously at-
tended upon the occasion. The lecturer commenced his
remarks with a brief history of the rise and progress of
music in England, tracing it from that of the•ancient
minstrels to the commencement and meridian of the real
old English ballad. The songs selected, as illustrations
of the various eras and schools, upon which he com-
mented, were given with much taste, and some with great
spirit and effect. Those with which we were beat pleased
were " Death and the Lady, " " The Vicar of Bray,"
which was encored, and "In the Spring time of the
year." The lecture went off most satisfactorily,
PROFESSOR LEES AND HIS PUPILS, MASTERS
GEORGE AND ALFRED HANLOW.—These extraordinary
artists, whose performances in Edinburgh and Glasgow a
few weeks since, were the theme of universal praise and
criticism, made their first appearance in Liverpool yester-
day week, and, though we were in every way prepared for
a more than usual treat, we did not anticipate an enter-
tainment half so exquisite in its nature, as that presented
by this talented trio. It will be remembered that Pro-
fessor Risley and his son first introduced the art to a
British public, since which some one or two have, with
considerable success, become imitators, but we never did
for a single moment expect that their (Professor Riley
and Son's) admirable eelineation would admit of those
new features and classical improvements embodied in the
performances of Professor Lees and his pupils. They are
both wonderiul a_nd perfect, and exhibit in no ordinal-
degree the sple- -t f whic'• -

eiendicl teat ,a our human nature Is
capable, when its attributes are finely employed, and
worthily made to sustain its elevated position in the scale
of creation. We advise all who take an interest in such
exhibitions, not to omit seeing them,
as
in all probability

the like may never be seen again. The professor and his
pupils continue to perform througbour the present:week,
and make their last appearance before the public on Mon-
day next, on the occasion of the representation of Mr. G.
Linnaeus *tanks' new drama of the " Swiss Father," at
our Theatre Royal.
