MUSIC.

DECRY-LANE PROMENADE CONCERTS.

M. Inßien has left England, and there seems to be
no prospect of his return. Hid atonic* has made a blank in
our musical entertainments--a derider atlas not to be easily
supplied. milieu was not the originator of promenade con-
certs in this country. They were first borrowed from the
ilusard concerts at Paris, and had been cerriodon at different
London theatres Le 'event' yeses before Jollies came amoag
w. Bat he gave them a popularity and importance white
they did not previously purees, and, by the introdeo-
Hon of a higher deecription of music, contributed
Lot a little to improve the taato of the public, not only in the
capital but throughout the country. His buena, too, was
such as he deserve!, till he teems to have maned his for-
tunes by imprudent epeoulations. That an attewpt should
be made to till up the blank made by the abandonment of his
entertainments was a thing to be expected. And it has now
been made in a manner that promises to be satisfactory.
We know not who are the projector, of thew Drury-law
Promenade Concerto; Mat they have set about their
business judiciously. They have put the must-

cal duection into the hints of Mr. Manna, the
able oonductor of the orchestra of the Crystal Palace. The
band, too, is that of the Crystal Palace, considerably aug-
mented in strength ; and it appears from the prospectus that
there will be at each concert at least one distinguished
linger and solo Instrumental performer. The plan emblem
fourteen concerts, ending on the 12thof Deostober. Their
further continuance, no doubt, will depend en their surer&
The prices of admiaaion, we need scarcely add, sri similar to
those fined by Jullien. .

The first concert on Saturday evening sugars well for the
moues of the scheme. Every part of the theatre was full.
The promenade was literally crammed ; and the boxes pre-
sented • goodly array of well-dressed company. One thing
gave us much satisfaction. At Jullien's concerts, to the very
last, the first night was almost constantly a wens of noire sad
disorder, amounting sometimes to riot, end giving work
for the Bow-street teisgistretea next morning. But on this
occasion the audience were perfectly decorous, and listened to
the music, even the longest and most "classical" pieces,
with great and apparently intelligent attention.
The concert, taken as • whole, was made up of a higher
order of music than theme of Jallien generally were. Be,
after giving his more refined auditors a quest& sof of
Mozart, Beethoven, or Mendelssohn, was in the habit of
gratifying the gent, and 'rinses of the promenade with
matter, to them, more attractive—his own toe-stirring
waltz.,, and p.lkas, and the martial thunders of his " army
quadrilles." The first part of Mr. Manna's concert was taken
entirely from the works of Mendel/seethe; and even the second
part, though of • character comparatively light, in-
cluded several things of a high order, especially
ea ample selection from the charming Premiere
of Weber. The pieces of Mendelsohn were, hie orchestral
maw erpi.ece the "Italian Symphony," played entire; his
song, " We hail thee sad welcome thee, beautiful May," sung
by Madams Legumes' Sherrington; the first movement of
the Violin concerto, played by M. Wieniawski ; the "thew
in the first symphony; and the gorgeous " Wedding Mardi"
in the Midiumswr Nyht a Drum. All these things were
admirably parfutheed ; the Italian symphony especially—a
work as difficult as beautiful—was executed in • manner with

which the most fastidious critic cight be gratified.
The second part lieges with a "Itillunen's March," corn- 1
posed by Mr. Manna—a vigtorone and spirited piece, in which
the powers of the martial hastraitessta ware employed with
great effect. It was vehemently applauded and encored.
Then came Nimble/1 overture to the Jlerry Wives of
Windsor, an excellent companion, pleasantly suggestive of
several scenes of the drama. Nest, Madame Lemur= sang
the Soadow,song" from helot-oh meet brilitantly, and
with rapturous applause. M. Wieniawski played l'eganinee
"Caine's' de Feign," one of those cuarvdhus dis-
plays of fiddliog for which, we confess, we have
little taste. The charming selection front Purioaa followed,
with solos on the oboe, clarinet, and flute, exquisindy played
by Messrs. Crozier, Pape, and Wells. Then Madame Low-
awns sang a pretty ballad of Mr. F. Mori's ; and a waltz and
galop, s in Jullien, conduits(' the concert.

DRAMA.

HAYDIARKET.

Mn. Cootliore's old comedy A Bold Stroke for a
Wife was produced at this theatre on Saturday night, fur
the purpose of providing Mr. Charles Mathews with what
is technically known sea "personation" part, 1. , one which
ryal the sum the opportunity of sustaining meant totally
distinct characters. For this reason the piece was a favourite
with several of the old slur~Elliaton, Charles Soluble, and
the elder Mathews having frequently piled in it ; bat the
numerous " entertainment." of late years, which principally
hinge upon the rapid change of costume and transition of
character, Dave frentliarnsed the public with the personation
system, and the comedy is of itself too old fashioned and
rococo to create any general interest.
Mr. Mathews' veniatility is well known, but on Saturday
ha wee imperfect in his words, and apparently somewhat
estrous—a detect which was shared by the rest of the com-
pany. As a pecuniary attraction the expediency of reviving
the comedyis, we should longtime, very doubtful.

MONUMENT TO THE LATE MR. BRUNEL.—A
numerous and inffuntial meeting was held on Saturday et
Messrs. Pritt's office*, in Groat George-sheet, Weetwins,cr,
for the purpose of promoting the erection of a statue of the
late Mr. Lombard Kingdom Brunel, the eminent engineer.
The Roil of Shelburne took the chair, when resolutions in
meantime. with the object of the meeting were passed, and a
committee appointed to carry them out.
THE LATE CHARGE AG.tIgBT THE REV. ROBERT
MAortaz.—The parish church of St. 41•81011.1., Clerkenwell,
wee yesterday morning unusually srowded, in consequence of '
the recentcharge Drought sgsiat the incumbent, the Rev. R.
Massive. There was nut even standiog room, sad the
several entrances were filled by persons enmous to gain
admission. The lessons having been read, the rev. gentle-
man ascended the pulpit, and appeared deeply affected at the
situation in which he was placed. The discourse occupied
but a short time. Is the cosine of it Mr. Maguire remarked
upon the large number of strange faces present on that coca-
non, and referred to the charge which had recently been
toad* against him, hot his innocence with regard to which he
strongly protested. He denied that he had effred 1001. u
compass*, ion, nn such proposition havinglever escaped his life.
He cyanided that he bad been the victim of circumstances,
and mild that the only thing complained of by hi. friends was
that he did not give the individual who struck him into
custody • but that did not occur to him. la conclusion he
szprreeed a hope that his cusduct in future, as he trusted
it had been in the put, would be that becoming a worthy
minister of the gospel.
THE LIEEEIHNH STSITII.—A meeting of the So-
ciety for the Amelioration of the Lineneing System was held
at theater,. 47. Old Broad-street, City, on Thtuuley even-
ing lam. Mr. Wont, of Poplar. took the chair, end said the
oboist of the society was to obtain from the legislature some
means whoeby applicants for spirit licenses may proceed to
obtain them upon some certain ground, and nut be subject to
the continual expense and vexation involved in applicnions
under the prenut system, which allows a small b ,dy of
irreeposeirle men (toe want of some fixed rule) to oppress •
large and respectable section of the community holding pre-
properly fitted up for the accommodation of the public,
and in every way qualified for carrying on the trade. It was
resolved " That a memorial be presented to the Home Secretary,
praying the government to bring in • bill founded on the re-
port of the parliamentary committee of 1883 and 1854, and
that a petition be presented to parliament asking them to pass
• bill to that effect and that Mr. Wear, Ht. Bennett, Mr.
Harding, Mr. Conley, and the secretary, form a sub-com-
mittee to prepare the petition." Several gentlemen addressed
the meeting on the injustice and oppression of the present
law, and urging the trade to unity of action, and several
added their names to the ISt of subscribers. It wee slay re-
solved, " That the secretary be requested to wait on the
members of the trade to obtain their signature.' to th• memo'
eel and petitiqn end solicit them to add their names to the
list of subscribers."
