H ANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
Maxine. Coulee's annual concert took place at the
above rooms yesterday. With all the brilliancy of
the most dexterous executionist, Madile. Coulon has
an elegance end purity of style, a clearness and deli-
caey of touch, a truthfulness and intensity of ex-
preesior, which many an older and more celebrated
artist might vainly strive to imitate or equal. That
the audience were as much charmed with her per-
formance as ourselves was sufficiently evidenced by
the attention paid to the lengthy yet sparkling, and in
passages beautiful, trio in E flat of Shubert (in which
she was supported by Sainton and Piatti), sad the
rapturous applause and double encore of the Fantasia
(Lucia) of Prudent. That Madame E. Garica was
encored in. Rode'a air, it is, perhaps, hardly necessary
to say. Notwithstanding the diffident, we might
almost say nervous, manner of Miss Barclay, in that
delicious morgeau, "L'addio," of Shubert, the ap-
plause with which she was interrupted at the close of
the first stanza appeared to reassure her, and she pro-
ceeded with the second with a spirit that rendered
more strikingly effective the touchingly pathetic con-
clusion. Miss Birch's name is a*" tower of strength,"
and may well pass without comment. The varied
and attractive programme included, in addition to the
above, the names of Miss Lascelles, Miss Kate Hick-
son, Mr. Swift, Signor Ciabatta and Mr. Freak
Bodda. The instrumentalists were : violin, Sainton ;
violincello, Piatti; contra brae°, Bottesini, end
clarionet, M. Wuille. The whole arrangements
were most creditable to the conductors, Signor
Bellini and Signor Pilotti, and were evidently highly
satisfactory to the numerous auditory, of whom, as
seems to be pretty generally the case at morning
concerts, the great majority were of the gentler sex.

WILLIS'S ROOMS.
Mr. Carter Lee repeated his Sketches and Scratches
last night at Willis's Rooms. The programme is not
constructed upon any regular plan, or with any pal-
pable Motive, but is !imply a collection of anecdotes
concerning mink and its professors; the peculiarities
of some of the mott distinguished of the latter being
pleasantly portTayed in song and story. Mr. Carter
Lee has managed to get together a copious assem-
blage of wlcinasicaliti,?s, written or adaptei, it may be
presumed;' by bimseF: —He plays on the pienolirte
sufficiently well for the purposes of acconapaniment ;
and is also a violinis4, a flautis, end a Concertina per-
former, in each of which capacities he introduces a
solo. The phantasmagoria of Alfred Crowquill are
pretty thing;.„ ortheir kind, and the spectra steal into
shape and evanish with all the precision that the lec-
turer requires. The rooms last night were fashionably
attended, and Mr. Carter Lee was frequently ap-
plauded during the progress of his labours.

CABINET COUNCIL.--(Tms Day.) -- A. Cabinet
Council, summoned last evening„was held at the Foreign_
office to-day at one o'clock. There were present, Lord Derby
(Premier), Lord Hardwicke (Postmaster-Ganeral), Lord
Lonsdale (President), Lord Joba Manners, the Duke of
Northumberland, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr.
Henley, Mr. Herries, Mr. Spencer Walpole, Sir John Pack.
ington, Lord Malmesbury, the Marquis of Salisbury, and the
Lard Chancellor. The Ministers were on the eve of breaking
up when we went to press.

FEES AT THEIATRES.—A. case of some interest was
heard on Wednesday at the Bloomsbury County Court, in-
volving the right of taking le. as a fee for retaining places
for a particular evening. On the 22d of May,:the Hon. Mr.
Lyttleton took a stall at the Princess's Theatre, for which he
paid the usual price of admission and an additional shilling
for booking the place. Mr. Lyttleton summoned Mr.
Charles Kean for a return of the is. fee, alleging in person
that as Mr. Kean, by his advertisements and bills, held out
to the public that stalls were to be had at 6s. it was a con-
tract with the public for that sum. On the other side, Mr.
Lewis (Lewis and Lewis), who appeared for Mr. Kean,
contended that the public, by the contract, was to
have a stall when the doors were open, and not when a per-
son went to the box-office and had the privilege of picking
out a stall, by which an advantage was gained, and for which
a fee ought to be paid. Further it was urged that, as it was
a voluntary payment on the part of the plaintiff, he could
not in law recover it back ; end, also, that custom sanctioned
the charge. The box-office keepers of the several metropo-
litan theatres gave evidence of the oustom of charging a fee
(Mr. Heath) confirmed

pay. This decision will settle the question—the first time
raised—in the theatrical profession.

EAST SUFFOLK.—IPtWICA, JUNE 11,--We Un-
derstand that the prospects of the Protectionist champion, Sir
Fitzroy Kelly, have become very far from encouraging to
his partisans, a candidate having been started in opposition
to the learned gentleman. Mr. Sutton Western, the son of
Mr. T. B. Western, of Tattingston-place, in this county, is,
we understand, in the field, and as there can be no doubt that
he will receive the support of the whole of free-trado portion
of the constituency, there is every chance :of his ultimate
success.
