MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS

There wan a "Monday Popular Concert" on
Saturday evening ; that is to my, the Directors of the
Monday Popular Concerts gave an extra performance on
that evening, similar in every respect to the regular concerts
of the series, in ►id of the Lancashire Relief Fund. All
the performers volunteered their gratuitous Gordan; the
free use of St. Jamee's-hall was given ; and, moreover, the
expenses of every description—printing, advertising, at-
tendance, So.—were defrayed by the directors of the
Monday Popular Concerts ; so that the whole receipts of
this concert, without any diminution whatever, were
banded over to the fund.
The concert wadi of the most retherche kind—one of the
best, indeed, that have been given since these admirable en-
tertainments were set on foot.

The Popular Concert of this evening is the last before
Christmas, and (we add with regret) the last of Joachim's
present engagement. He immediately returns to the duties
of his office in the service of the King of Hanover, but will
revisit London, we have reason to believe, in the reuses of
the ensuing season. The monad public will learn with
pleasure that Sivori is among the great artiste who are ex-
pected neat spring.

SACRJD HARMONIC SOCINTY, EXINTA-HALL —The
usual Christmas performances of Handers Metrialt will take
plats on Friday, 12th and 19th instant..

DRAMA.

SADLER'S WELLS.

Mr. Creswick made his appearance at this house
on Stturday night in the character of Harald, supported
by the ordinary company, Miss C. Lucetteplaying
This is the first regular London engagement which this
favourite actor has taken aloes his retirement from the
Surrey Theatre. It is merely announced as an Additional
attraction for the cattleuhow week, but we should hope
that it will last far beyond this agricultural festival. Mr.
Creswick has a well-earned, solid reputation as an actor in
tragedy and drama, and the management of this theatre has
not yet quite succeeded in hitting the taste of its public.
Perhaps the introduction of a more definite purpose, with
lees of the weathercock policy in the performances, would
produce that success which is gratifying alike to the public
and to the managers. This little theatre is in the heart
of a respectable and populous district, and trades with an
historical character at its back. For these reasons alone we
regret to see it losing pound.
