CRYSTAL PALACE.

The concert on Saturdayeras the eighth and
lastpf the series, for this seame,of these very pleasant enter-
tainments. It is a pity that they should terminate as a
period whim their pleasantness is at its ■eight ; but the
entertaiumente of the Crystal Palms me se various that we
eippose a longer space for three oaosrts could not be
'flowed in the arrangements of the sesaoa. The
enclosure in the central transept Is well fitted
for the performance of every description of
music: while, however full it may be, the avolleace
enjoy the entertainment without amtmlag the Wel sod
suffocation of a London eraint-rata.

friendly and gracious manner. Macy questions of intermit
