It now appears that the Reform League have re-
solved to hold their proposed meeting in Hyde
Park on Monday evening next. Up to the last it was
hoped that this unwelcome decision would not have
been adhered to, partly from the dislike which—
truly or untruly—is said to be entertained to the
movement by some members of the League itself,
and partly it was hoped that the victory gained
for the cause of Reform by the vote of the House
of Commons on Thursday night would have pro-
duced a feeling of pacification. The League,
however, up to last night, took such a deter-
mined course, and so vehemently reiterated their
notices calling the meeting, that it is now certain
the attempt, at least, to hold it will be made.
Nearly all the proclamations issued by Mr. Walpole
and posted over all over London have been either
torn down or defaced. In some cases they have been
completely covered by what is called the " yellow
placard ;" in others this has been placed either above
or beside it. The plicard is a printed bill, bearing
the name of Mr. Edmond Beaks, on behalf of the
Reform League. It is not ii.temperate in its wording,
except in so far as it calls on the people to disregard
Mr. Walpole's proclamation, and to attend in thou-
sands and vindicate their right to hold their meeting
in the Park. This placard has been more extensively
posted throughout the metropolis even than the pro-
.- -clamation itself. The credit of the agitation party
is thus staked on holding the meeting, and the Go-
vernment and the authorities are as firmly resolved
to prevent it by all means in their power. The mis-
take committed last year in closing the park gates
will not be repeated on this occasion. To have done
so at all is now admitted to be a blunder, as, unless
a large number of troops were employed, and em-
ployed with merciless severity, it would require al-
most an army to defend a circle so extended and
open from so many parts as the area of Hyde Park.
On Monday evening, therefore, every one will be
allowed free ingress and egress as usual. But it is only
fair to warn the peaceful and somewhat over curious
spectators that if they go there on Monday evening
they will go there at their own risk. In case of
any disturbance unfortunately arising, it is impos-
sible for the police, who may be ordered to clear
the Paik, to distinguish between those who come
to look on and the roughs who are sure to come and
create a disturbanee. Every sensible and well-dis-
posed person, therefore, will best consult his own
safety and the interests of the cause of order by ab-
staining from the neighbourhood of Hyde Park alto-
gether chat evening. We believe it is intended in the
programme of the Reform delegates to have a number
of distinct platforms or meetings from the centres
of which the crowd may be addressed, and it is with
these that the police are likely to have orders to
ain-
terfere.after
tneyr speaker w a
r n persistinged.v be Lis
incontinuingeted and
removed from the Park. The police arrangements
as to the disposition of the force
ararrested
are very properly
kept strictly secret, and, in fact, they can hardly be
said to be so much their arrangements as
orders
re-
ceived from higher authorities. It is enough, there-
fore, to say that a very large force of .constables,
both on foot and mounted, exceeding in all 5,000
men, will be in the Park, commanded by

made
rS
upon the
police, or any attempt made to interfere with the
arrest of persons who may force this most unwel-
cone alternative upon the Government,
,the police
will repel force by force, and endeavour to
clear the Park of all who disturb it. The
overpowering muster of constables which will be pre-
sent will make this a comparatively easy matter.
Only 'in case of a serious riot unfortunately arising
could such a strong force be insufficient. Even
for however, we believe the authorities are
prepared, and they will, if it be necessary to restore
order, not hesitate to apply for assistance to the
military in clearing the Park. All the Household
troops will be kept to barracks next Monday
and ready to proceed at a moment's notice to the
scene of any disturbance. Additional military
strength will also be brought to the metropolis. In
case of any disorder occurring which the police might
be unable to meet, the mounted troops would be em-
ployed to clear the ground, and as this was cleared
the infantry would occupy it in line, with strict
orders to prevent any disorderly crowd entering
again. Of course; no attempt would be made even
for this purpose to employ the military, except on
the advice of Sir Thomas Henry, and that would
never be given till it was seen that the police were
not strong enough for their du. es. In spite of the
large force of constables to be draughtcd into the
park, the police reserves over the rest of London,
though of course much diminished, are not so mate..
rially drawn upon as to leave the different neigh-
bourhoods without protection. We cannot, how-
ever, too urgently pfess upon all orderly people
to abstain from going into the park at .all that
evening, or even going near it, as the lookers-on
would be just as liable to injury as the most fore-
most among the rioters.

Madame Puzzi's Matinee d'lnvitation.

With her usual skill, taste, and success, Madame
Puzzi assembled together yesterday morning, at the
St. George's Hall, Langham-place, a gathering of
the elite of London society, numerous enough to fill
to overflowing one of the largest halls in the metro-
polis. It was Madame Puzzi's graceful task, and a
task worthily executed, to inaugurate with the
bright month of May the noble hall of St. George
by holding there the first matinee of the season, and
we clnuot but hail the auspicious omen, and hope
the walls may long retain the echoes of sweet tones
which resounded within them on the occasion.
As usual Madame Puzzi had catered well for her
friends and patrons, an-1 a very choice little selec-
tion was prepared for them, in which Mdlle. Fanny
Puzzi, Mdlle. Enequist, Miss L. Pyne, and one or
two other lady singers, took part, supported by M.
Jules Lefort, Signor Ciabatta, Ilerr Reichardt, and
Mr. Paley, as vocalists, Find Mr. Aptommas, M.
Paque, and Mr. Blumenthal, as instrumentalists.
The hall, we were told, was in the occupanio❑ of
workmen till past twelve on the previous night, and
even now neither entrance is finished, while only
the one in Mortimer-street was available. The
hall will, no doubt, be more agreeable to the olfac-
tories, when the smell of very new paint, new
boards, wet plaister, escaping gas,. &c., have disap-
peared. Unusual regard has been paid to the com-
fort of the occupants ; the seats in the body of the
hall are all fauteuils of roomy construction, and re-
markably easy ; liberal space has been allowed be-
tween the "rows," and as there is no middle " aisle"
(as it is so often erroneously called) it is almost ne-
cessary to substitute an arrangement which admits
of free circulation from one end to the other of each
bench. The hall appeared to us remarkably well
adapted for sound, and the ventilation is admirably
contrived.

• Some little time before the concert began every
seat was filled, and a number of those present had
to be accommodated with chairs.
Mdlle. Fanny Puzzi delighted the audience with
the perfection of her style, and amply compensates
in taste and finish for what she wants in power. No
rendering of " Voi the Sapete" could be more ex-
quisite, and it was gratifying to see it was appre-
ciated. In the concerted pieces with Mdlle.
Lascelles, Signor Ciabatta and Mr. Patey, Mdlle.
Puzzi was equally excellent ; indeed, under all cir-
cumstances, she is mistress of her part no less than
of her voice. Miss Ryan's performance on the
piano was highly creditable to a young aspirant,
and promises well. Mr. Trelawny Cobham, a
cidevant amateur, was much applauded in a romanza
from "Faust," and Mr. Patey acquitted himself ad-
mirably, whether in his English or Italian morceaux.
In the latter his pronunciation is much more felici-
tous than is usual with our countrymen. Mr.
Blumenthal's " Message"—a clever and brilliant
performance—was succeeded by a spirited "March,"
which was received with merited applause.
Of M. Jules Lefort, whose first appearance this
season was welcomed by Madame Puzzi's invites.
What can we say more laudatory than that he was
himself ; and we may add that the deafening
plaudits which vainly strove to encore the dulcet
strains of Gounod's bewitching serenade eloquently
expressed this conviction.
We must not omit mention of Mdlle. Enequist,
whose magnificent organ and commanding style are
so
the spirited and characteristic na-
she delighted the audience,
t nwael
llaisrusitwedithtowhich
nor may we pass over llerr Reichardt's effective
rendering of Goldberg's arch little " Romance," fol-
lowed by his own graceful composition, " I long for
the violets of Spring." Mr. Aptommas's fantasia
from " Lucrezia Borgia" was a masterpiece at once
of expression and execution—a rare example of
a tour de force, as pleasing as it was surprising, and
M. Paque's masterly performances on the violon-
cello were a valuable addition. We may pronounce
the matinee a decided success.
