JIILLIEN'S PROMENADE CONCERTS.

On Saturday night M. Jullien began Lis eerie
cipmeasaade cooserte menaced to be give this sewn at
Her Majesty's Theatre ; arid, having heard his first donee
we are able to say that the promises made in his &moaner
meat have been fulfilled by his performer,.
M. Adliers's orchestra is not inferior to his father's. It
is sabriantially the orchestra of Her Majesty's Theatre, with
the additive of a number of solo performers of
renown. The theatre has been altered and
fitted up as Covet-gardea wee in the late
Adlien's time. The pit is boarded over, so rto form,
together with the stage, a spacious promeade, in the
middle of which stands the orchestre. The surrounding
span it darrodat with white draperies and wreaths of
errs, sad Urn is • superb suite of chandeliers isanulao.
Wed be the seirasie. Behind the orchcetra is a reeding-
roma, aboodaatly supplied with journals and periodicals of
ray drariptioa. The private boxes, except those coo the
grand tier, have been removed, and the spew rionverte
into stalls. The whole aspect of the house fa brilliant,
cheerful, and comfortable.
The public will learn with interest that Camillo Sivor
bea arrived, after an absence of five years, and will appear
at the comet of Monday next.

DRAMA.

HAYILiBJEET.

A farce of undoubted French origin, produced at
this house on Saturday night, under the title of A Bull in
a China Stop, ia °Destructed on a well-known Palau Royal
principle. This principle is to get a laugh out of your
audience, deeeetly if you can, but, at all events, to excite
laughter. Like Beauty or the Beast, which we had recently
to notice at Drury-lane Theatre, the new piece is not made
to depend for its success upon probability, character, or
brevity. In its French shape it was doubtlase is three or
four ante ; in its English shape it appeals to us in two,
which are crammed full of every recognised stage absurdity,

ST. JAMESS-HALL.

The events of the American war—eagerly
watched u they are and have been by at least half the
world—have suggested the construction of one of those large
moving panoramas which are always interesting and in-
structing. This new exhibition, which is called "As His-
torical Paean= of the Civil War in America,* will opera
to-night at St. James's-hell, in Piccadilly, with Nook
am* musical amompanimeata, cud a descriptive lecrtart

Many of the painters of this panorama—some fifteen in
number—have been in the think of the fight, and have
drawn from actual observation, while others have worked
from photographs. The exhibition consists of about 36
messes of various degrees of interest, painted, as may be
expected, with very unequal skill, the meet artistes being
the battle-Uhl pictures, which have a Gouge touch of
Banos Vernet about them. The series includes the Bull_
Run Retreat, the Battle of Pittsburg Landing, the Chien-.
boinioy Retreat, the Battle of Gain's MB, Malvern Bills,
Antietam, frederickabiug, Gettysburg, and the Siege of
Port Hudson. No attempt has been made to make the
exhibition a party display, and the MOW axe represented

rms ATROCITIES ON THE COAST OP MOROCCO.

Sad news has been received from the coast of
Morocco by the Board el Deputies of British Jews. Far
from relmaieg the two Jaws still imprisoned, co the charge
of having hese accomplices in the murder of the late
Spanish collector of customs at Saffi, the Spanish consul has
thrown into prima a Jewess far advanced in , ea
no other grated bat that she was in the habit of supplying
the deceased with milk. The sufferings and tortures of
thrsotters are described as truly horrible. The Spanish
c
zeu ramie, inexorable. It now appears that the
Moorish court, by which the accused were delivered up to
the consul, was terrorised, and that the Cadi of Safil refused
to wade= them, as there was no evidence of their guilt. It
further appears that Spanish officials, in other seaports
of Morocco, taking the cue from the minister at foamier, are
committing other outragea oo Jews, and inatigeting the
Moors to follow their example. Several Maniocs+ of these
outrages wen brought under the unties of the hoard. A
general outbreak of the Moon against the Jews all over the
coast i. apprehended. The Rev. the Chief Rabbi, ia a
pathetic letter to the board, depicted the danger threateo-
mg these unfortunate people. Sir Moses Monte6ore has been
solicited by the board to undertake a mission to Monona in
order to avert such a calamity. The octogenarian philan-
thropist has given his cot-mot. It is expected that he will
set out for Morocco as Wee as he is in receipt of letter from
the Foreiga.office. We may add that Earl Russell hen on
this occasion again evinced the humanity with which he haa
at all times pleaded the cause of the opprowed.—Jettish,
Chronicle.

Tax EDMONDS' MAIN COLLIZIIII XXPLOSION.—e
The inquest upon the bodies of the unfortunate man who
met their death in the Ednrinde Main pit on the Bth of
December was brought to a conclusion on Friday night.
The coroner (Mt. T. Taylor) concluded his summing up at
ten minutes to seven, when the jury retired. At eleven
o'clock they returned into court, and the foreman stated
that eleven of the jurors were agreed, bat feet wire of a
different opinion. The coroner said twelve of than must
agree. After ten minutes' absence, the jury Agra came
back with the following verdict :—.. We find that
James Ellis came to hie death by suffoostre cared by
an explosion of pa in the Edmunds' Main Colliery on
Monday, the Bth December. 1862, and we are of opinion
that the cause of the explosion was owing to the
bdcous
use of gunpowder in blasting the coal in the dip tes
in this mine, which practice of blasting ought not to ace
be permitted by the managers or prosecuted by the work-
men after the system of wedging was introduced." In reply
to the coroner, they stated that they were unanimously of
opinion that Mr. Mitchell, sea., was the manager of the
colliery, but they did not wish that that should be
added to their verdict. The coroner inquired what was the
real nature of their verdict! Did they intend to cast
culpable negligence upon any person, and, if so, upon whom !
Mr. Sleigh contended that the verdict wee sulatantially one
of manslaughter. The coroner said his impression was that
it was an open verdict, and this view was confirmed by the
jury. The foreman then handed the following recommen-
dation to the coroner, and expressed the hope that it would
be forwarded to the Home Secretary :—" We Sr. of opinion
that until a regular iuspection of the mines by government
takes place, accidents will be of frequent occurrence in
the collieries in this immediate neighbourhood." Mr.
Sleigh, who represented the relatives of the deceased, and
Mr. Stewart, of Wakefield, who appeared for the proprietors
of the mine, expressed their obligation to the coroner and
jury for the care and patience they had expended upon
the investigation, and the inquiry terminated shortly
I before midnight. Mr. Morton, the government inspector
of mines, was present during the inquest, and rendered
valuable assistance in eliciting facto from the several
witnesses.

THILZATICHID STEHLE AMONG THE WEIAH COL.
LllllB.—Tbs demand for steam coal at the Welsh porta con-
tinues, and from several muses the supply is far short of
the demand. One of these causes is that, from the
short-sighted policy instilled into the minds of the col-
hers by interested parties, they almost to a man refuse to
work inure than seven or tight hours a day, or, what
amounts to the same then, if they are compelled to
be below pound fur a longer period they do not send
up a larger quantity of coal than they could do in the time
indicated. Tire principal cause of the short supply is,
however, to be attributed to the fact that dares( the
past summer, and indeed for several yeses, vast numbers of
colliers and experienced paddlers have emigrated to
America sitb the view of proceeding to Salt Lake.
Marie of these men found it more advantageous to remain
in the Northern States, and the result has bees that through
the representations they send hones of the high price ob-
tained for labour, a constant drain of the most provident
class of workmen is going on. The idea of the colliers is
that by keeping the supply short at a time when there is an
unprecedented demes.l, they will thereby force the masters
to advance the price of cutting. During the week a monster
meeting of colliers was held on the top of a central moue-
tab) in the Aberdare Valley, cud was attended by thou-
sands. The men, without the least notice, thee absented
themselves from work for a whole day, which in itself was
a most serious loss to the proprietors. The immediate object
of the meeting was to consider the propriety of kitting the
North Canary Colliers' Associatsoe, sad to take step" for
securing ►o advance of wages. It was resolved that the col-
liers of Wales should not at present (ors the Northern
Unice, bet establish one of their own. With regard to the
question of wages it was resolved that a deputation of two
from each colliery should wait upon the proprietors sod risk
for a rise of 10 per cent. is the event of this not Wine com-
plied with, the whole of the men were to tender a month's
notice on Monday next. The greatest fears are entertained
that, unless forbearance awl decretioe characterise the con-
duct of both parties, a rupture will ensue—an which
would prose disastrous to aU parties coocerned. It is un-
derstood that the workers iu steam cold will be raised 10 per
cent, oe the let of November, but it is doubtful whether
the rite will extend to the bituminous oral workers.— Cur-
