.ki ELLINpTON .koos.—The,
first of these concerts Willta-ke place ofiTtiesdaynext, and, that
the high expectations formed of them may be fully realised, no
pains will be spared to render them effective.' On the first
night th Marquis de Muti Papazurri—for whose benefit both
concerts wilrbe givia—will sing, lead in a quarfett. and play a
duet on the pianoforte with Mr. George Holden. Tee marquis
will also, if requested to do so by any lady or gentleman pre-
sent, play from memory any piece selected from one of fifty
Italian operas. Those concerts will combine, with that of the
foreign artistes now in this place, the best musical native talent
in Liverpool; talent, requiring only the nurture of public pa-
tronage to mature its varied excellence. We have seen the
scheme of the first,concert. The first part will commence at
eight, and the second at ten o'clock. \\re can promise those
who may be prevented by other engagements fromhearing the
first part, that they will find a rich treat in the second, which
will amply repay them fur their attendance even at that late
hour.

congratulate Mr. Tovey on his success.
EXTENSIVE FORGERY AND CAPTURE OF THE FORGERS
—Considerable excitement has prevailed in London within the
'last few days in consequence of the discovery that a gentleman
well known on Change had absconded, after having committed
forgeries to a very great extent, carrying with him a considerable
sum of money which he had raised by means of fictitious bills,
and for whose apprehension a reward of £250 was offered. We
are happy to state that the delinquent, with his principal coad-
jutor, an attorney, is now in custody. We understand that In-
spector Busain, of the G Division of the Metropolitan Police,
• having obtained souse clue as to the direction in which tht;
• fugi-
tives had gone, left London last night week in pursuit, an-T ar-
rived at Belfast by way of this town and Dublin ou Saturday morn-
ing, and on Monday morning succeeded in apprehending Fos-
ter, the principal, and Jonas Murphy, his accomplice, on board
the Josephine, then on the point of sailing for New York, in-
spector liusain arrived here yesterday morning with bis prison-
ers, accompanied by a brother of Koster, by the Corsair and
proceeded to London in the evening. The prisoners had gone
to Ireland by the way of Holyhead.—Gore's paper.
EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE or A GIRL.— Saturday evening
an inquest was held at the Royal Standard, Seymour-place, Bry-
auston-square, on view of the body of Sarah Wilkinson, a find
girl, aged 13 years. Mr. John M'Lean, a chemist, of Seymour-
place, deposed, that on Thursday evening he was requested to !
attend at No. 36, Seymour-place, and on proceeding there he
found the deceased suspended to a brass hook at the back of the
door in the front room first floor. lie iunnetliately cut her down ;
life appeared quite extinct. lie had recourse to the usual means
to restore animation, but without effect. The cold washere pro-
duced for the inspection of the jury. Mr. Thomas Wilkinson,
coach-trimmer, at Nu, 36, Seymour-place deposed, that the de-
ceased was his sister, and he had charge of her since the death
of their mother about two years since. She was a very good
girl, and all witness required of her was to prepare the meals.
On Thursday witness and his wife scolded the deceased fur some
trifling omission ; and, in the afternoon of the same day, during'
the absence of Witness and his wife, the unfortunate child coin-
mitted the rash act. A number of witnesses were examined;
but it did not appear that the child:had been ill-treated—on
the-
contrary..,. but she was of a stubborn and violent temper. Ver-
diet...-``Temporary derangement."
CAIRO, DEc.26.—The Saint Simunianists, of whom there are
many here, made a proposal to the viceroy last year to erect a
bridge over the Nile at the point of the Delta, a truly great
work. Mehemet Ali, who likes all gigantic projects, acceded
to the proposal, and the work was commenced some months
ago. '1 tree hundred barques laden with stone and iron were
constantly engaged on the Nile, and thousands of hands were
employed in erecting the stupendous work. But about twenty
days ag-o orders unexpectedly Came to stop the work. The most
able of the persons employed were removed to other places, and
the remainder discharged. It is reported that this sudden
change originated with the English, who have convinced Me-
hemet Ali that the execution of the work is impracticable in the
mariner in which it has been begun.—Allyemeine Zeitung.
CoNvicTs.—Two reports from Mr. Capper, up to the 29th of
January, 1533, are just printed, relative to the convicts con-
fined in the Hulks at Portsmouth, Gosport. Chatham, and
Woolwich, and working at Bermuda, in which we-find the fol-
lowing statements:—The convicts have been generally healthy;
since the transportation of the elder boys considerable improve-
ment has taken place amongst the younger ones, .and the con-
victs at Bermuda continue orderly and healthy. On the Ist of
January, 18.31, there were 3,060 prisoners on board the Hulks
in England, since which there have been received 4,374; of
these 4,032 have been transportedlo New South Wales and Van
Diemen's Land, 702 have been discharged, 142 have died, two
have escaped, and 2,556 remained in the Hulks on the Ist of
January last. The total expenses of the Hulks in England last
year amounted to £44,257, and time value of the convicts' labour
to £33.123. I2s. 6d,; and at Bermuda their expense amonnted
to £2.3 929. 188.8 d. and the value of their work to £30,160 4s.
HIS MAJESTY'S STATE COACH.—This splendid work of art

out) by Itujolas; the varnishing by Ansell; and the harness by

Such was the original cost of the state coach; but we- shall
scarcely be expected to detail the sums that have been from tune
to time expended in keeping this vehicle in repair, and preserv-
ing its splendour untarnished. Drawn by eight noble horses,
superbly caparisoned, it forms the most magnificent equipage
n Europe.--Domistie Life in Engraild, quoted in the Mirror.
