1230 ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. X. ZIILLIEN'S CONCERTS. NEXT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29TH, D 354. M. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that, although it had been his intention, as in former years, to have limited the period of his Concerts to one short series, a variety of circum stances have, this season, induced him to depart from his accus tomed practice. The great success which has invariably attended those Enter tainments has increased this year to such an enormous extent that it would really appear as if the omission of the last year's Concerts, in consequence of M. Jullien's absence in America, had, instead of diminishing„ added, in an extraordinary degree, to their popularity ; and, indeed, as if the Public—deprived fur one season of their favourite amusement—had, during the next, flocked towards it with a two-fold eagerness. M. Jullien, in fact, during his fiats series of Concerts at Drury-lane Theatre, on many occasions, Sound It quite impossible to accommodate the numbers of persons who presented themselves for admission—this great anxiety to attend the Concerts not being confined to one class alone, but extending itself to the mass of persons visiting the Promenade, as well as to the occupants ofthe Dress Circle and Private Boxes —M. Jullien trusts this great success is not solely attributable to any one of the special attractions which he has provided for this yeaes Concerts, for unprecedented as has been the enthusiasm evinced at every performance of the " Allied Armies' Quadrille," the greatpiece de resistance of the season, and several other portions of the Programmes, he hopes that the increase popu larity of his Concerts may be fairly regarded as an evidence of a more widely spread taste fur the works of the Great Masters, as well as a rapid and progressive aptitude in the minds of the Public generally for the appreciation and enjoyment of the better class of Musical Entertainments. Under these circumstances, and in accordance with the wishes and advice of many of M. Jullien's Patrons and Friends, he de termined to endeavour, if possible, to arrange a second short series of Concerts this season. The great difficulty, however, which at once presented itself was the finding a building afford ing such Increased space as it might fairly be supposed would be sufficient to accommodate a large additional number of ♦isitors. In this difficulty M. Jullien sought the assistance of the Directors of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden, their theatre being the only one at all likely to afford the accommoda tion required; and it I. with very great gratification he is enabled to state that the Directors, entering at once into his views, have, in the most handsome manner, placed their magnificent estab lishment entirely at his disposal, and thus render him most valuable aid in his efforts still more widely to cultivate the popular musical taste. M. Jullien has, therefore, the honour to announce that the SECOND SERIES OF CONCERTS will commence on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29th, and it will be seen that, popular as they have proved to be, he has not relied entirely for the amusement of his audience on the novelties of the last Series of Concerts, but has provided, though at a very large coat, great additional attraction. He has entered into an engagement with MADAME PLF,YEL, the most celebrated Pianists in Europe, to perform for a limited number of nights. He has also entered into an engagement with that most distinguished performer on the Violin, HERR ERNST, for the purpose of executing the Classical Works of the Great Masters. MADAME ANNA THILLON, whose charming Vocal Performance has received nightly such unanimous marks of approbation, is re-engaged for the whole SIGNOR 130TTESINI, who is daily expected from America, will appear immediately on his arrival. HERR KCENIG _ is also engaged. The above Artists, in addition to those already forming M. Jullien's Unrivalled Orchestra, will constitute a most unprece dented combination of talent. It is M. Jullien's intention to repeat, with additional attrac tions, the Evenings of the BEETHOVEN AND MENDELSSOHN FESTIVALS, and also, for the First Time, to give a CONCERT consisting en tirely of the Works of MOZART. METSIIREER'S celebrated STRUENSEE (the Complete Work) will be performed; also a Selection arranged for full Orchestra, from ROSSINI'S Opera, LE COMTE ORY ; a Selection arranged for full Orchestra, from Vaßni's New Opera, RIGOLETTO ; a Selection for full Orchestra, from SPIIOR'S Classical Opera JESSONDA, &c. In order to contribute to the amusement of the many JUVE NILE VISITORS whom M. Jullien hopes to see at his Con certs during the CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS, he has composed a new Comic Quadrille, entitled the PANTOMIME QUADRILLE. The NEW SLEIGH POLKA, describing, with some curious and novel effects, sledge driving in America, will also be pro duced. The NEW GRAND ALLIED ARMIES' QUADRILLE, as- sisted by the THREE MILITARY BANDS OF HER MAJESTY'S GUARDS, which has created such unparalleled enthusiasm, will be performed on the First Night, and on every evening until further notice. The nightly programme will, in fact, pesent an unequalled variety and excellence. The whole Area of this magnificent Theatre—the audience portion as well as the stage—will be converted Into one IMMENSE SALLE, and exhibit an entirely new and tasteful decoration, the whole being carpetted, warmed, and ventilated. At the back of the Promenade will be found THE READING ROOM, Containing Newspapers and Periodicals from almost all parts of the world, and includes Six London Morning Papers, Five Even. ing Papers, Fifty. six Weekly Papers, and Twenty Provincial Papers; besides the Irish, Scotch, German, American, Italian, Swiss, Dutch. Indian, Chinese, Australian, New Zealand, Malta, Portuguese, lonian, Canadian, French, Belgian, and Spanish Newspapers. Magazines, and other Periodicals. Notwithstanding the vast outlay necessarily incurred by the above arrangements, it is M. Jullien's intention, in the regula- tion of the admission, to preserve the popular character of his Entertainments, and to retain the usual scale of Prices. - - - - - - Prices of Admiuion: PROMENADE, 11 UPPER BOXER, ONE SRILLINO.

PURE AND UNADULTERATED. TESTIMONIAL FROM ARTHUR H. HASSALL, M.D., FL.S., Member of the Royal College of Physicians, Physician to the Royal Free Hospital, Author of " Food and its Adulterations," &e, &o. " Dear Sir--I beg to return my acknowledgments for the copy of your Work on Cod Liver Oil, with which you have favoured me. I was already acquainted with it, and had perused it some time previously with considerable gratification, especially the chapter devoted to the consideration of the adulteration of Cod Liver Oil. " I have paid, as you are aware, much attention to the eubject of the adulteration of drugs. Amongst the articles examined, I have not overlooked one so important as Cod Liver Oil, and this more particularly since it is a very favourite remedy with me, and is, moreover, so liable to deterioration by admixture with other, especially inferior Fish Oils. I may state that I have more than once, at different times, subjected your Light Brown Oil to che- mical analysis, and this unknown to yourself, and I have always found it to be free from all impurity, and rich in the constituents of bile. " So great is my confidence in the article, that I usually pre scribe it in preference to any other, in order to make sure of ob taining the remedy in its purest and best condition. " I remain, yours faithfully, (Signed) "ARTHUR H. HASSALL, M.D., Bennett street, St. James's street, Ist December, 1851. " To Dr. De Jongh, the Hague." SOLD IN LONDON by ANSAR.
