THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.  statement is, however, apparent from various circumstances: The boat'screw are represented as having landed in arms,and in the same account the arms of the men are said to have been found in the bottom of the boat. Next, the Russian version of the story tells us that the boat was sunk, although all the world besides is aware that JoriN BROWN, as he himself believes, the only survivor of the barbarous tragedy, escaped in the boat which was picked up at sea, and with himself was taken on board the ship. The boat, in its upper planks, is found riddled with bullet-holes, sufficiently proving that the men were fired on before they landed, or in the act of landing—or  that, after .those.who had.landed.had beea murdered on shore, care was taken that none should escape to reveal the particulars of the horrible massacre. The dismal tragedy enacted at Hango was.indeezl a sictory suited to the genius of that Russian warfare which Murdered the wounded at Inkermann, and butchered those who brought succour to her wounded sons on the heights of Alma—it is in every respect worthy of their false pretensions and their felon arms. It shows how such men can fight, when there is no resistance•—when the achievement of victory depends alone on safe butchery. The musical world of London has just received intelligence of the death of one of its oldest and most deserving fovourites.

For more than half a century LINDLEY was a popular idol, his claim to adoration being founded on the expressive delicacy, yet strength and vigour of his tone. In his hands the violoncello could do anything but speak, or yield unpleasing sounds. He was of an urbane, gentle and kindly disposition, and was a great favourite among his younger professional brethren, while with the distinguished of the elders he enjoyed a lively friendship and a welcome brotherhood. LINDLEY was a native of Rotherham,  in Yorkshire, where his father was a teacher of music. Early in life the son gave unmistakable token of musical aptitude, and so long ago as 1794 be received the appointment of first violoncello in the orchestra of the Royal Italian Opera, which position he retained till his retirement from public life.  The theatrical world, as is usual at this season, continues to whirl with liveliness, if not with vigour, in its gas-lit orbit. At the Adelphi, Mr. ToM TAYLOR has produced a drama under the name of " Helping Hands," which has the great merit of having achieved success, The interest of the piece is centred in the- excellent acting of WEBSTER and Madame CELESTE, aided by the efforts of Mr. and Mrs.
