The Concert at Southampton on Monday evening, under the direction of Messrs.Christiana and Griesbach, was fully attended, and the whole performance gave general satisfaction.

The former has long been a favourite here; Mrs.H sang the airs allotted her with great sweetness and expression, and evinced talents that will prove a valuable acquisition to the musical world.- On the following evening, the Amateur Concert was held in the Audit Room, which was filled with all the fashionables in the town and neighbourhood at an early hour.

It appears that Mr.James, of Semley, who was found on the turnpike road, much bruised, on Friday evening, the 7th inst. had met with no attack from assassins as stated, although we had that statement from Mr.James's own son; but being seized with a giddiness of the head (from what cause need not be mentioned), he had fallen from his horse when he was found on the road, and conveyed to Cribbage Hut. He has since returned home, and is said to be sufficiently recovered of his wounds and bruises to enable him to attend market again, unless the faculty think the giddiness in his head a complaint of so obstinate a nature, as to make it dangerous for him to continue travelling on horseback.
