CONCERTS AT THE PARTHENON.—We were induced
on Saturday night to visit this elegant place of entertain-
ment, and must in justice express our opinion of the great
talent and taste displayed throughout the performance. It
would be perfectly supererogatory to criticise the talents
of Mrs. Hiles, one of the fair cantatrices. We can only
say we were never more delighted than in the execution
of two songs allotted to her, " Bid me discourse," and
" Tell me my heart," compositions perhaps a little worn
from being more frequently mutilated than rendered melli-
fluous, but always possessing a fresh charm when heard
from such an accomplished artiste ; nor can we withold a
merited eulogium to the charming accompanist, who
seemed perfectly mistress of her instrument, from the
facility and consummate taste which characterized her
performance. The voice of Mrs. Lloyd is purely con-
tralto, and, if it were developed and confined to songs of
that character, would increase in volume and effect. Mr.
Robinson, the tenor, acquitted himself transcendently well
in the duet with Mrs. Hiles, " When thy bosom." The
voices, from being nicely balanced, told very well, and
could not have been more sweetly in unison. The raptu-
rous acknowl dgment of the auditory was a sufficient gua-
rantee of its excellence. If more publicity had been given
to this entertainment, we were told that the room would
have been crowded ; but still, sufficient were there to
give promise of future success. We could say more in
compliment to our Liverpool artistes in the duet from
of knowledge, and the excite-
Norma and " I know a bank, &c.," but the pre
dry, in reference to this impor- upon our space must be our apology

THE CONVICT HocKEß.—The condemned sermon was
preached before this unhappy man, on Sunday morning,
in Newgate. The following disgusting particulars of his
demeanour are given in the Morning Herald, yester-
day :—" After a delay of a few seconds Rocker entered,

accompanied by the deputy governor of the prison and an
assistant turnkey. It might be called a theatrical move-
The ease and self-possession which the convict
exhibited as he advanced to his seat evidently surprised
those of the congregation who had never before seen him,
and he seated himself on a chair facing the altar, and at
the end of the chapel opposite to that which Connor oc-
cupied. He was very particular in fixing his chair and
the hassock which had been placed for his use, so as to
enable him to make a display. He exhibited, in fact, a
perfect consciousness that he was " the observed of all
observers," and had to all appearance made up his mind
to represent in this the last but one scene of his existence
the character which he has been performing since his ap-
prehension. His person did not seem to be in any degree
changed since his condemnation. His costume was pre-
cisely the same now : he was scrupulously parti-
cular in the arrangement of his hair. Shortly after his
entrance he spoke to Mr. Cope, who, at his request, di-
rected one of the attendants in the chapel to bring in a
ss of water. He received the glass from the hand of

the 'Lan with a bow, and plueetritb,;l;i; side." We
much query whether a great portion of the incentive to
these offensive displays would not be removed if the press
would refrain from chronicling their absurdities. What
brings reporters to witness such scenes except a desire to
truckle to and profit by the morbid curiosity of a class of

readers, who would, with as great unction, enjoy a re-
hearsal of the murder itself, for which the law is called
upon to unsheath the sword ?

We refer our readers to an excellent address in another co
lumn from the Licensed Victuallers' Protective Society.

Owing to some inadvertency, we erroneously gave in our

BEAMISII AND CRAWFORD'S PORTER.—It will be seen by an
advertisement in another column, that Messrs. S. Bowden and
Sons have been appointed sole agents for this justly ce!ewated
porter. It is brewed on Professor Leibeg's principle. which
renders the liquor far more pure than that brewed in the ordi-
nary mode.

Horses AND LAND.—It will be observed by an advertise-
ment in another column that Mr. Williams, the active and in-
telligent house and land agent, has removed to more convenient
premises—No. 47, corner of Great Ctiarlotte•street—near his
former office, where he may be dai:y and confidentially con-
sulted. Mr. W. has, at all times, the best list of property for
sale or to be let, and its length is a guarantee of his established
ability to serve purchasers, sellers, add tenants.
