THE NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.

As yet we believe no successor has actually been
appointed to the late Lord Chief Justice of the
Court of Common Pleas. A number of rumours
are in circulation, as is generally the case,
and, amongst others, the names of Sir Frederic
Thesigei, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, and Mr. Jus-
tice Erle are mentioned. We believe we can
state, without fear of contradiction, that
the learned Attorney-General has positively de-
clined to accept the Chief Justiceship, and that it
will be filled by Mr. Justice Erle, one of the Judges
of the Court of Queen's Bench. The vacancy so
occasioned will be filled up by the translation of
Mr. Justice Cresswell from the Common Pleas to
the Queen's Bench, and that in all probability Mr.
Hugh Rill, Q.C.„ or Mr. Warren, Q.C., M.P.,
will be elevated to the Bench to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the translation of Mr. Justice Cress-
well.

It was, however, very generally reported late
this afternoon in Westminster Hall that the At-
torney-General had reconsidered the matter, and
had decided on accepting the appointment. Of
course no official publication of the appointment
will take place till after the funeral of the late
Lord Chief Justice.

THE NEW BARON OF THE EXCHEQUER.

This morning Mr. Watson, the new Baron of
the Exchequer, was sworn in before the Lord
Chancellor. To-morrow the learned gentleman
will also be sworn in before Lord Campbell, the
Lord Chief Justice, and afterwards take his seat in
the Court of Exchequer.

JULLIEN'S CONCERTS.

AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The perennial Jullien—Jullien of the hyacin thine
curls and the ambrosial moustache—the Great
Monsieur Jullien, he of the immaculate kids and
the snowdrift neckerchief, wielder of the magical
musical baton, and, beyond all manner of doubt, as
such, to the million what M. Costa is to the fasti-
dious few, facile princeps among the Conductors of
the Modern Orchestra—began last evening, in her
Majesty's Theatre, his annual series of Promenade
Concerts, feasts of music procurable by any one
uho lists for—a shilling ! Mr. Lumley's magnifi-
cent hall of melody—the finest musical arena per-
haps in the world—was selected this year as the
scene of M. Jullien's triumphs for two or three
very cogent and very obvious reasons. It
was selected—because opportunely vacant—be-
cause Oid Drury happens to be the home
almost simultaneously of Italian Opera, Comedy,
Tragedy, Farce, and very soon, no doubt,
also of Pantomime—because Covent-garden still
stands a charred and blackened wreck of its
former splendour—because—but enough ! M.
Jullien holds his revels this year in her
Majesty's Theatre, and a better, grander, nobler
region for those revels could not possibly have been
selected. Under his auspices the interior of the
building has undergone a series of remarkable trans-
formations. The amber-coloured box-curtains are
replaced at last by bran-new draperies of a brilliant
crimson ! Above the pit boxes, and immediately
in front of the dress circle, there has been raised an
elegant and commodious balcony, capable of afford-
ing great additional accommodation. Around the
limits of the pit there is room for the circulation,
or, rather, in such a crush as that of last night, we
should rather say for the hustling, of the Promena-
ders. As for the immense Orchestra and Choruses
—they occupy a huge elevated and graduated plat-
form, erected partially on the place of the stage and
partially on that of the pit-stalls. The familiar
proscenium giving place to a gracefully arched
trellis-work, festooned and garlanded with artificial
flowers, like the entrance to another garden of
Baccaccio. As a matter of course the house was
crowded, as thephrase is, to suffocation, andequally
as a matter of course every successive performance
was greeted with enthusiasm. Here is the first
division of the programme :

Overture—" Oberon" Weber.
Quadrille—" The Promenade" Engelke.
Symphony—The Adagio from the "Italian
Symphony," " Pilgrim's March" Mendelssohn.
Scena—" Ah, mon fils" (Le Prophete)
Fantasia—" Viola d'Amore" Schreurs.
Polka—" The Flirtation Polka"
