SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS, &C.—The concerts
and literary and scientific recreations, for the working
classes, (which hare been so successful for some winters
past,) will commence fur the season, on Saturday next, at
the Nelson Assembly Rooms. His Worship the Mayor
has graciously given his patronage to these rational amuse-
ments and, should his other engagements- permit,- it is,
we understand, his intention to take the chair. Miss
Whitnal, at' the request of the committee, will, in the
handsomest manner, eive her valuable servicas on the oc-
casion. Mr. Ryalls, Mr. Armstrong, arid Mr. Crank, will
also be present. Mr. G. V. Lewis will preside at the
piano-forte. The prices of admission arc extremely mo-
derate, and the proceeds will go towards the fund for
building the Northern Mechanics' Institution.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON.—Elizabeth
Peters, and Margaret Cummings, young women, were
yesterday charged at the Police-court with robbing a cat-
tle-dealer, named Charles Hamilton, of the sum of £lOl.
The complainant said that he had come with cattle from
Ireland, and had, on Saturday night, been drinking in
Langan's, near the Clarence Dock. On comin,, out he
found the prisoners at the door, and they persuaded him
to go with them. A young man, a relation from the same
part of Ireland, was with him, and wished him not to go—
taking his purse from him to take care of, but which he
returned without opening it, and he (complainant) put it
safely into his inside;. waistcoat pocket. He afterwards
went with one of the prisoners—the other being athand—
and she eventually got hold of the purse and ran away,
leaving him no chance of pursiiit.—The young man al-
luded to was sent for, and corroborated the testimony so
far—also identifying ie prisoners. Beth had before been
committed, and they wera sent for trial. Nothing had
been heard of the money.

PUBLIC WASII-HOUSES AND BATLIS.—At a time when
the desirableness of providing institutions like the above,
for advancing the cleanliness of the working classes in
great towns is being so strongly urged, it may be interest-
ing to know the actual working of those recently estab-
balled in the borough of Liverpool. From the Corpora-
tion Accounts of Lie past year, just published, we find
that the total working expenses of the Liverpool new
vossh-houses and baths for the twelve months ended 31st
August, 1814, including salaries of keepers, wages of
firemen, coals, gas, water, &c., were £373 Is. 10d. The
receipts for the use of the ta•Le were £3lO 7s. Od., leav-
ing a balanca to the debit side of the account of only
£62 14s. 10d. We are informed, however, that the
receipts are steadily increasing ; and, bearing in mind
that the institution is new, there is every probability, and
indeed a certainty, that when the poorer classes begin to
experience the undoubted benefits of its use, it will be-
come a self-remunerating one. Such a result of an ex-
periment, decided at the time of its first being proposed,
ought to be an encouragement for its adoption here on a
larger scale, and its trial in other tosshs.
