STREET ROBBERY.-At the Police-court, yesterday,
three men, Thomas Wilson and two others, were charged
with knocking down and robbing, in Whitley-street, a
man of £1 Is. The offender named could alone be
identified, and he was committed for trial. The other
two were necessarily discharged.
The workmen in the employ of Messrs. Hibbert and
Platt, machine makers, Oldham, have raised among them-
selves £6O, as the commencement of n fund for the esta-
blishment of a public park in that town. Two or three
years ago, the Government offered a thousand pounds for
a park at Oldham, if a similar sum were raised by sub-
scription. Nothing, however, has been done in the mat.
ter till the present time.
GRAND CONCERT.—We would direct the attention of
our readers to the concert announced to take place at the
Concert-hall, on Monday next, the 30th instant. The
attractions are great, Mr. Sunderland and Miss Whitnall,
Mr. Ryalla and Mr. Lunt, and last, though not lest,

signify that he will treat the Liverpool public with
BRITISH WHALE AND SEAL FISHING COMPANY.—
The advertisement announcing this important project
will be found in another column. It offers the fairest
prospects of being amply remunerative to the proprietors,
and is founded on an excellent plan. Whales are abun-
dant in the Arctic regions, and if the business of capturing
them be systematically pursued, no doubt very large pro-
fits will be realised. The prospects of the company are
very flattering, and the promoters are gentlemen of the
very
highest respectability.
BOHEMIAN
rim BAND.—This talented Corps of
musicians are staying, during their sojourn here, at
Whiteman'', Brunbwiek Hotel, where they have been
daily visited' by numbers of strangers and admirers of
harmony. They have, during the past week, been earn-
ing the admirati-n of the genuine lovers of fine music.
The elarionet playing of Herr Sobreon, and violincello
concertante of Herr Grosse, have drawn down thunders-
of aPPlsue. The efficiency of the whole Company, in.
deed, is first-rate, both as solo players and as a band.
We observe that tbey are engaged to give a morning cor-
cert on Wednesdai, at tbeAssembly- rooms, GreatGeorge-
street, which will enable families and young people, whom
the recent severe weather has not permitted to visit the
theatre, to enjoy a treat.
