JULLIEN has the honour to announce that a Oraud BAL will take place on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, :855, which will be the first ever given at the Royal Italian Opera, and positively the last this season, and terminate the Coueerts. It is now several years since M. Jullien had the honour of in troducing the above kind of entertainment in k:ngland, and it has afforded him the greatest satisfactim to °ham . % e, from year to year, that they have unvaryingly increased in favour and popularity. It is not the Ball-room alone which has exhibited this increase, but those portions of the Theatre set apart for the convenience of Soectaters have, at the same time, been entirely thronged with visitors. This unremitting patronage is a sure evidence of the immense attraction of these Entertailllllollta, and, of course, cannot fail to be a bOUICe of great gratification to M. Jullien, convincing him, as it does, that his efforts to afford amusement to all daises have nut been suede in vale. The approaching Bal Masque, the unit ever given at the Royal Italian Opera, will, however, afford an opportunity of producing an entertainment surpassing in grandeur and brillianty all former Balls the vast area of that beautiful Theatre giving facilities possessed by no other locality. M. Jullien therefore believes that, without entering into detail, he may safely state that the Bal Masque above announced will be one of unrivalled splendour.
