JULLIEN'S OONCERTS.

Last night M. Jollien began his series of pro-
amagadts 000 certs at Her Majesty's nests% with every
previat of sammom. The house was ray full, sod the
&odious seemed to receive pest *noon from the ester-
Puma's. IL Jollies has a chime, hereditary as wall as
pyramid, to the attestant sod sopped of the English
public. Ms late father, if oat the originator of prome-
nade eolwarla in this country, raised their character so
mood dult they mowed quits • sew aspect, sod

Popular Ocaosrte have made • great step in the same
direction ; bat it coooot be doubted that we owe the
origin of the movement to the j odium:it and maw of IL
Jollied.

TM aeries et womb now begun is es the same general
plan as before. The pit mid stage of the theatre are con-
verted into an extensive promenade, in the midst of which
the orchestra is erected. The whole pleas is tastefully
decorated, and has a gsy and elegant appearance. The
orchestra is the band of Her Majesty's Theatre, enlarged
sad strengthened, sad keeled* all those winitinstrament
performers whine excellence daring the opera season has
been so mach remarked.

The concert of last night was an agreeable mixture of the
clerical and popular styles. It began with Weber's magoi-
ficent overture to Sensual's, the execution of which did
bailout to the band and to M. Julian as their cooduetor.
Beethoven's gnat Symphoey is C. subsequently played,
was not only a treat of the highest order to the meteor,
but the precision with which it was executed, sad the deli-
cacy with which all it. beauties of effect and exprusion were

audience. " The Swim Quadrille," composed by M. Jollies
during a tour in Switzerland, is a most delightfulciompositios
of its chum. It le redolent a the lake and the mountain ;
incladiag some of the most beentihd melodies of the coon-
try, introduced sad treated with great logically and effect.
The other peat piece of this description, the well-known
" British Navy Quadrille," which was the prominent feature
of the second part of the rincert, is equally characteristic,
though in a different way. his thoroughly Foglia, and the
spirit gives Wow liner osutiesl melodies is quite inspiring.
11 Another remarkable feature of the coscert wee the selection
from the Tarns, in which several of the airs from that
popular opera were played as iiistrunseetal solos and on
oompeard by the orchestra. Some of these were &grimes ;
especially the air, "Ah form a lei," played by M. Crozier
ou his =quake oboe ; and the famine anserontir,
•' Libiamo, Ithaca," which, as performed on the renal
and ophicleide by Mr. Nenserling, sad Mr. Massy, had the
effect of a channleg vocal duet.
Mozart's beautiful air from Figaro, Vir the sepsis,"
wee sung by Mdlle. Lisbhardt with a somewhat tremulous
voice, bet with the utmost parity of style and expression.
Mdlle. de Beenvoisin performed as the pima Dada's varia-
tions Ge " Vivi to," showing a light ar.d brilliant Seger; sad
M. Lotto played Vim:temps' " Fl•tallill Appaerosatii" is

M. Jollies. we observe, has sot yet all his forces is radi-
um. He is expecting a reinforcement, coseistiag of a
party of eminent Denali vocalists, from Copenhagen, who
will make their appearance as soon, as they arrive.

DRAMA.

HAYMARKET.

Mr. Buckstone opened his house to a crowded
►udience last night for the winter sossoo, sad repe►ted
Leeffe's comic opera, The Castle of A ridaiusie, which be
so successfully revived on the occasion of his benefit. The
coat of char►cten remains the same; the very old-fashioned
bat melodious music has fair justice done to it by M.T. Weis ,
Madame Weiss, Miss Keeley, and others ; and Mr. &Wotan
and Mr. Comptoo, as Sped° sad Pedzillo, have rarely ap-
peared in two more thoroughly amain characters. Several
sovelties are, of course, in preparation, and prominent
amongst these will be the app/arenas of an Italia°
lady, whose training at the Chliou and Vaudeville
theatres in Perla has been thoroughly French ;
who has acted, we believe, in America, and who
will sustain the part of the heroine in a version of Ales-
soder Dumas' most celebrated play, Mademoiselle de Belle
Isle. The same of the now actress who is sesious, like
Madame Judith and others, to tread is the successful
steps of Mdll►. Stella Colas, is Mdlle. (or Signora) Beatrice
Lticcbceina, and the version of the French play in which
she will appear has been made by Mrs. Fr races Anne
Kemble. Her first performance will be gives on Monday,
October 3.
