that the arrangements adhered to at the nuptials oilier
Majesty and the Prince Consort will be the model for the
proceedings at the, wedding of the Princess Royal. the
Court will leave Windsor early in January, and will tal'e,
up its abode at Bnckingham Palace. After the mare*
the royal pair will retire to Windsor Castle, and, remain'
ing there a week, will return to town to receive the lolbbet
congratulations of the Court on their union. This Is 3
present the arrangement ; but it may be greatly al—nclfie
or even altered, should there be any serious change la t'i
health of the King of Prussia. In the case of a fats
t
result everything would depend on the time when it Who
place; but shoul4 matters progress as at present, ved
readers may depend that the course we have Indic°
will be the one followed.— Court Journal.

AMUSEMENTS.

MR. R. W. THOMAS'S SHILLING CONCERTS IT Ting

PII/LTIARDIONIC HALL.

The Mendelssohn Festival, last night, did not attrj r
large an audience as the name of this great c0n1731,5:85,
wont to do; but the attendance was fuller than 011 f ibe
day night. Mr. E. W. Thomas played two per's o A
Violin Concerto, and the w'iole of the SymPll°llo',
Minor, batter known to the public as the Scotch SPnl)-„ics,
was performed entire ; but we cannot think such 104 !rj- ees
however fine, Are fit for cheap cmcerts. The sudiet,ot,
go to these pri?cipaly for pleasing enter°l:-00id
rather than to hear music in its higher sense. 6:est

archness,- will take precedence of the finest ari4to•
written. A good programme has been put foal 11). the
night. Signor Raspi and Mr G.. 11. Davies will
ia.be,
solo performers on the bassoon and clarione; ; and srtite
Nicholson, Haycock, Davies and Chambers, will tiligio
solos in the selection' from the " Trovatore ;" and
Louisa Vinning will sing an air from the same °peril -
" The Reason Why."

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, MR. WESTON'S- BROW. hero
Mr. Weston had a good benefit last night. AD. 1341;013
played Sir Giles Ovei reach in " A New Way to lihdf pld
Debs," and, bating a little too much imitation °Disket
Kean's stage-tricking, played it very well. Die' r,,torl
made a capital Nara,. Mr. Villiers was vary satll.6 :heir
in iVtlthorn and the othei performers sastallea "Ife,
characters very creditably. Mr. Roberts, Mr. Baker' 'l3
Villiers, and Miss Page were called before the ntlft:l3,
at the close of the piece and much a2Pl4l..ti'A the
Mr. Flexmore and Madame Auriol followed, wit'w
interesting piece of " The Dumb Savoyard and his :;11.
key." To-night, Mr. Roberts will play Richelieu, and
"Dumb Savoyard and his Monkey" will be re/novel.
