MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE.

PROMENADE CONCERTS.—In addition to M. Lllien at
Covent-garden Theatre, it is stated that Mr. Allcroft,
the monster concert speculator, has taken the Lyceum,
after the close of the present season, for a month's pro-
menade entertainments, for which voealists have also
been engaged. At the Adelaide Gallery, under Mr.
Laurent, jun., promenade concerts are to be given.
THE NEW MUSIC-HALL IN LIVERPOOL.—We an-
nounced, some days since, under the head of " Music in
Liverpool," that the Philharmonic Society had resolved
to build a music-ball, capable of holding upwards of
2,000 persons. The first stone was laid on the 23d
instant, by J. B. Brancker, Esq.. When St. George's
Hall is completed, Liverpool will boast of two immense
music rooms, one to hold 5,000 and the other 2,000,
whilst London is without a single concert-room of any.

the British metropolis. Hanover-square rooms, with
800 persons, is a Calcutta black-hole, and Exeter Hall,
confined as it is to sectarians only, is not adapted for
musical sounds.

Music IN PARlS.—There has been no novelty. At
the Academie Royale de Musique, Mdlle. Dameron has
appeared in Valentine in the Huguenots. Madame Stoltz
left Paris on Tuesday to sing at Lyons. Halvey's Mous-
quetaires de la ileine continued to draw the public to
the Opera Comique. Mdlle. Berthe, a new vocalist from
Brest, has appeared in the Pre aux Clercr. She is de-
scribed as being very pretty, but having little voice.
Madame Persiani had arrived in Paris, to open the
Italian Opera in Lucia, on Thursday, Oct. 1.
LA SCALA OF MILAN.—For the, next Carnival, Mo-
riani, Marini, De Bassini, Rovere, Madame Tadolini,
and Mdlle. Angri have been engaged. Of these artists,
Marini, a young basso, as gigantic in person and voice
as Lablache Rovere, the great buffo, and Mdlle. Angri,
the contralto, are engaged for Covent-garden Theatre
for the season 1847. Perrot and Fanny Elsaler are en-
gaged at the Scala.
A new one-act opera, called La Sultana, composed by
M. Maurice Bourges, has been quite successful at the
Opera Comique, in aris. . _ _

_MADEMOISELLE PLUNKETT.—At length the engage-
ment of Mademoiselle Plunkett, which was to expire at
the end of December, has just been renewed for a year,
and from this moment she bears the title of Premiere
Danseuse. Her name, therefore, will appear for the
future in as large letters in the playbills as those used
for Carlotta Grisi. On the Ist of December the graceful
" Ballerme" departs for Turin, to dance for three months
at the Carignano, a theatre of the first rank. She will
still have two months conga, between March and August,
1847. Already numerous proposals have been made to
her, and London, seemingly, will have the preference.—

ehaveJready announced, Madlle. Plunkett is
engaged at Drury-lane Theatre.
TuE HEREFORD FESTIVAL.---The Festival passed off
so satisfactorily that four out of the eight stewards havo
already accepted the office for 1849 ; one of the four is
the Earl of Oxford, who has served before, but who in
the handsomest manner volunteered to fill it again ; the
other three are Sir Velters Cornewall, Bart., Sir Thomas
Hastings, and the Rev. Canon Musgrave. This liberal
spirit augurs well fur 1849, and as we expect that the
restoration of the noble cathedral will by that time be
completed, and there will be a railroad to the city, we
look forward for brilliant success.—llereford Times.

s'sTilE —We have much pleasure in
liberality of managers towards their faith-
ful and attached servants. Mr. Emden, the indefatigable
stage director of the Princess's Theatre, has been pre-
sented with a silver snuff-box from Mr. Maddox, the
lessee, as a token of esteem for his attention and assi-
duity. Mr. Emden has been three years in his present
capacity, and is universally respected.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—A few days ago Mr.
Kennifrez, brother- in-law'of Mr. Pierce Mal ony, dropped
dead from his jaunting car as he was driving tlitroligh
Sackville-street, Dublin.
