CONCERT HALL, LORD NELSON-STREET.—Last night
Mr. Dempster (from America) appeared at this place of
amusement, and gave great delight to his audience. He
introduced his songs by historical reminiscences, highly
interesting, and his singing throughout was most spirited
and pathetic. It would be injustice to Mr. Dempster
not to state, that we had not (owing to the municipal
election) an opportunity of hearing the first songs of the
evening ; but judging from those which we did hear, we
have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that Mr.
Dempster is a gentleman of high taste and talent as a
musician.- He possesses vocal powers of a high order,.and
dashes Into his performances (Including his own music)
with a degree of pathos which is rarely attainable. We have
not, space to enumerate the several songs; but we were
much struck by many of them, and especially " The
Blind Boy," and the " Emerald Isle." Mr. Dempster is
a splendid pianist. and wants no orchestra to help him out.
He is equally at home in every department of melody, and
the music is exclusively his own. " I'm alone " was
beautifully and pathetically sung. The last piece, repre-
senting the decline and death of a girl, was painfully
affecting. We are glad to find that Mr. Dempster will
again make his appearance at the same place to-morrow
evening. The old Scottish ballad of " Tak yer auld
cloak aboot ye" was admirable, and will no doubt be
called for again.
BOE'E ART UNION.—The tickets are now being issued
for this excellent distribution of works of art; and it
is gratifying to find that a townsman purchased during the
past week from Mr. J. R. Isaacs, the appointed agent, a
ticket, which turned out to be the celebrated prize Car-
toon, " The First Trial by Jury," to which government
as an acknowledgement of its merit, awarded a prize of
300 guineas. It was drawn by " Cope," R.A., and is
valued at £l5O.
ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The principal performer at
this theatre during the past week was Mr. Charles Kemble
Mason, nephew of the celebrated Kemble. His acting is
unquestionably the most extraordinary we ever witnessed.
Mr. Mason has studied in a school perfectly new. He is
not a copyist of the good or bad qualities either of the
living or the dead, but in action, manner, and dress is
quite original. It is said he intends to make his appear-
ance in London, and there, as the appetite for novelty is
insatiable, it is not improbable that he may at least create
a sensation. The new ballet of " Christine" and the
Ethiopian Delineators have been the other attractions
during the week.

TRADE WITH THE EAST.—By the comparative state-
ment of British tonnage entered outwards and innards
to and from India, in the first nine months of this year,
as made up by Mr. Spikeman, it appears that the out-
ward entries from London were 182,762 tons, against
174,684 in 1845, and from Liverpool 87,854 tons, against
101,282 in 1845 ; the entries inwards to London were
210,228 tons, against 203,312 in 1845, and to Liverpool
70,416 tons, against 65,071 in 1845. It further appears,
that the outward entries to China this year were,—from
London 8,045 tons, and from Liverpool 16,655, while the
entries inwards were 22,283 tons into London, and 14,775
into Liverpool. The total entries outwards to India,
from ports in Great Britain, were 324,637 tons in 1846.
and 322.988 in 1845, and the total entries inwards 296 962

piece of music was produced, and handed to Haydn, with
a bantering boast from Mozart, " There, sir, is a compo.
sition which you cannot play and I can." Haydn sat
down to the instrument, surprised at the simylicity of the
music tbat was to puzzle him ; but when he had got half
way through it he suddenly stopped, saying, " How's this
Mozart ? bow's this ? You've got my hands stretched
out to the ends of the piano, and yet there's a middle key
to be touched ? Nobody can play such music as this."
Mozart, laughing at Haydn's perplexity and anger, took
the abandoned seat, and began. Running through the
easy passages, he came to the difficulty which his
friend found insuperable; and, bobbing his head, struck
his key with his very long nose. and was at the end of the
composition in a trice. Haydn, with whom such a feat
was a plysical impossibility, burst into a roar of laugh-
ter, and confessed that nature had endowed Mozart with
a capacity for music which he (Haydn) had never before
discovered. and to which he could lay no claim. The for-
feit was cheerfully paid.
THE LATE DUKE OF RICHMOND.—In the forthcoming
work by Sir F. B. Head, entitled " The Emigrant," the
hon. Bart. relates some deeply interesting circumstances
connected with the melancholy death of the Duke of Rich-
mond, in 1819, from the effects of, hydrophobia. It is
evident, from what is here stated, that he himself was
aware of, but endeavoured studiously to conceal from those
who were around him. the dreadful nature of his malady,
aid for several days he succeeded, until, at last, one of his
suite exclaimed, " By Heavens, gentlemen, the Duke of
Richmond has the hydrophobia!" He was on his return
from Niagara to Quebec, when the fatal symptoms first
disclosed themselves; and died in a tent by the road side,
calm and resigned, expressing to those around him, "that
his greatest earthly consolation was that his title and name
would be inherited by a son of whose character he de.
Glared he entertained the highest opinion and confidence."
While the fatal secret was, as it were, in his own keeping,
be remarked to one of his party, " You know,
am in general not afraid of a glass of wine, yet you will see
with what difficulty I shall drink it." During dinner the
Puke asked this officer to take wine with him, and it was
evident that from some unaccountable reason it required
the
s
utmostto his
lips. Early next morning he was found
resolution and effort on his part to bring the
finishing a letter to a member of his family, which
bgleas calmlysealed and then delivered to Colonel —, with a de-
sire that it might be delivered at Montreal, a request at
utterlyett

incomprehensible.naturally

I and South Toxteth Ward
-the former being postponed
lderman Houghton, and the
,Iderman Bushby.]

We had this yew', therefore, three wards uncontested,
and for these the following gentlemen walked over the
course :

Conservatives unopposed. Radical unopposed.
J. A. Tinne, for St. Peter's. J. Aikin, for Castle-street.
G. H. Lawrence, W. Derby.
There have been, therefore, ten Conservatives returned
this year to the Council, and four Radicals. Anticipating
that Scotland Ward and South Toxteth Ward will to-day
return two " good mtn and true," the Conservatives will
hold the same numerical position which they did prior to
the election. Twelve Conservatives retired, and twelve
will have been returned,—though their position in the
wards will be slightly changed. In Scotland, Vauxhall,
and St. Anne's, a Conservative replaced a Radical ;
whilst in St. Paul's, Lime-street, and North Toxteth, it
was vice versd. _ _ _

There were 4299 votes given in the aggregate, of which
the Conservatives polled 2246, and the Radicals 2053,
—giving a majority of 193 to the Conservatives.
The following is a list of the Town Council as now
constituted. The names printed in italics are those of
new members :

The state of parties in the government of our munici-
pality is now, therefore, (allowing for Scotland and South
Toxteth, as we have represented,) as follows :—Conser-
vatives—Aldermen 16. Councillors 34 ; total, 50. Radi-
cals—Councillors 14. Conservative majority, 36.
Next year, Aldermen Houghton, Griffith, J. H. Tur-
ner, Crook, Nicol, Bramley-Moore, Molyneux, and Chil-
ton, will retire—their period of service (six years) having
then expired ; but our readers will perceive at a glance
that there is not the remotest probability of any one of
these gentlemen being displaced by a Radical, even al-
lowing that party the utmost possible success at the next
election. We are not, therefore, likely to be under Ra-
dical domination for many years to come, let the exertions
of our opponents be what they may; but the Conserva-
tives must leave no stone unturned, not merely to " bold
their own," hut to improve their numerical position.
We now give a detail of what took place in the various
wards.
