711 E LATE M. JULLIELY.

For some weeks past the exertion and anxiety
consequent on the getting up of a new series of
concerts, upon which M. Jullien calculated estab-
lishing in the French capital the high reputation
which he had gained in the course of 20 years in
England, proved too much for a temperament at all
times keenly sensitive and excitable, and loss of rea-
son was the result. On Sunday, the 12th, M. Jullien's
first concert was to have been given, and great curi-
osity and interest prevailed in Paris, but that con 7
cert was never destined to take place. Two days previ-
ously M. Jullien was conveyed to a private lunatic
asylum, having exhibited the worst phases of mad-
ness, and his medical attendants entertained no
hope whatever of a speedy cuce. In consequence of
some severe course of antiphlogistic treatment,
the patient caught a severe cold, which fastened, on
his lungs, and terminated in inflammation, M.
Jullien's reason returned some hours previously to
his decease, and after receiving the last sacraments,
he passed away in perfect consciousness of what
was going on around him. His last words re-
lated to a hymn which he had not long since•com-
posed, and called a Napoleonienne, from its being
in honour• of the Emperor of the French. " Let
it be sent," he said, "to his Majesty. It will
perhaps procure bread for my poor wile." M.
Jullien has left a widow and two adopted children,
one of whom, a fine young man of two•and-twenty,
engaged himself some months back in a FrenCh
lancer regiment, in order not to be a burden on M.
Jullien in his misfortunes. The other, a girl, lives
with Mine. Jullien, and is, like the widow, totally
unprovided for. We indulge in the hope of seeing
the subscription which has been commenced in Eng-
land extended to Paris, particularly as some gentle-
men, who appreciate the labours of M. Jullien in
popularising good music among the masses, have
expressed their intention of *warding the benevo-
lent object as much v.s lies in their power.—

TIIE MINISTERIAL REFORM BILL.—The liouse
was chiefly occupied last night in the discussion of
the New Reform Bill of the Palmerston Cabinet.
The debate arose on the motion of Lord John Rus-
sell for the second reading of the bill. Mr. Disraeli
assailed the measure in a speech of considerable
length, and Mr W. F. Campbell, in an address of
great ability, pointed out in clear and conclusive
terms the incongruities and shortcomings of the
bill. . The measure is really so great a delusion that
no one feels the slightest interest in it. It will not,
cost the country a moment's concern whether the
bill bi carried or. rejected. It is a miserable mea-
sure, and nothing more nor less than a mockery of
the people's wishes and rights. The debate was u
Advertiser.
