THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.  statement is, however, appareu t from various circumstances. The boat's crew 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 do boat was sunk, although all the world besides is aware that. Jo}tx 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 hullet-holes, sufficiently proving that the men were fired on befora they landed, or in the act of landing—of  that, after those who had landed had, been murdered on shores  care was taken that none should escape to reveal the particulars of the horrible massacre; —The diSmal tragedy enacted at Hango was indeed a lictory suite&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.

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. LvsnLE-r 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 he 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 i‘ 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.
