ITER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
GREAT CLASSICAL CONCERTS.
A HAYDN NIGHT,
A MOZART NIGHT,
A BEETHOVEN NIGHT,
A MENDELSSOHN NIGHT, and.
A WEBER, NIGHT.
M. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that, in conse-
quence of the great number of persons unable to obtain admis-
sion during the last performance of the " Indian Quadrille,"
lie has made arrangements to postpone his departure for the
provinces, and to give a few more concerts at Her Majesty's
Theatre. The great and unprecedented success attending
the " Indian Quadrille," and the other works lately pro-
duced, has prevented M. Jullien giving those classical nights
which he was the first to introduce to the English public,
and which have always been received with such distinguished
favour by musical amateurs and the public generally.
In order to comply with the repeated requests of his nume-
rous patrons, M. Jullien has arranged for a SECOND SERIES
OF CONCERTS, which must necessarily be of very limited
duration, owing to his departure on his provincial tour
shortly before Christmas. They will commence on TUES-
DAY, Dec. 1. It is M. Jullien's intention to give, during
their continuance, a " Haydn Night," a " Mozart Night," a
"1" Beethoven Night," a " Mendelssohn Night," and a" Weber
Night." On these occasions the first part of the programme
will be selected solely from the works of one of these great
wasters. The second part will be varied as usual .
M. Jullien has the satisfaction of announcing that he
has succeeded in retaining the services of that popular
vocalist, Madlle, JETTY TREFFZ. At the close of this
second Series of Concerts, Madlle. Jetty Treffz will leave
London for Vienna, M. Jullien having been unable to
induce her to stay, even for his provincial tour. Soloists
of the highest celebrity are also engaged for each of the
Classical Nights, including the celebrated pianiste, Miss Ara-
bella Goddard, and the Hungarian artiste, M. Edouard Re-
3nenyi, solo violinist to her Majesty.
The magnificent decorations which were prepared for the
Dal Masque will remain during the continuance of these Con-
certs. The whole theatre will be ornamented with wreaths
and garlands of flowers, in gold, silver, and colours. The
decorations have been prepared by Messrs. Chabot and Co.,
who were cr arged with the decorations for the grand ball at
the reception of the Emperor Napoleon 111. at Stuttgart,
and who were engaged, at a great expence, for the express
drpose of arranging at her Majesty's Theatre a display which
will be seen for the first time in this country.
feels confident that he will receive, for his Second
&ries of Concerts, a continuance of that distinguished pa-
tronage and support which have already been so freely ac-
corded to him,
A Mendelssohn Night will be given on Thursday next,
December 3.

Between the blunder of the Emperor of the
Farscs and the plausibilities of the Time; it
looks almost as if we were really to have a bona
fide revival of the traffic in negroes. When the
Tuilleries and Printing-house-square combine, it
is time for those who do not relish the object of
the conspiracy to bestir themselves. Hence the
late deputation to Lord CLARENDON. LOUIS
NAPOLEON has had, we believe, without
the wish to possess it, the honour of
resuscitating the slave trade by France ;
and his ally of the press in England has the
honour, which it has accepted with its eyes open,
of writing up the cause of buying Africans, " in
the cheapest market " we suppose, and liberating
them, :under the name of apprentices, in the
dearest.

Commence at half-put Seven.

Our readers will remember that the French
ENtrznon granted a concession to a Monsieur
REGIS, at Marseilles, to ship, under cer-
tain utterly futile restrictions, as many
bodies and souls of Africans as he could find
money to purchase, and take them off to the
French sugar plantations. It was cleverly done,
for when our Government drew attention to
the consequences, the Imperial word was past.
Probably it seemed to the EMPEROR nothing very
outrageous to permit the deportation of natives of
the tropics to another part of the torrid zone, there
to enjoy such liberty as the weak and ignorant could
possess in the hands of the strong and intelligent.
He had had no particular objection to deportation
to tropical swamps of thousands of his own coun-
trymen, guilty of no crime whatever--at least of
none greater than men are here, who believe iu
the five points of the Charter. Plenty of mer-
cantile sophisms were no doubt ready for the ear
of the autocrat, and, above all, the pleasant
assurance that planters in distant colonies would
bless the name of the Emperor for Blacks put
into their hands, to use pretty nearly as they
pleased, in growing colonial produce.
Our English contemporary, however, has not
witnessed, in its own recollection, the transplant-
ing even of our felons to tropical plantations,
there to grow us sugar, coffee, and tobacco, and
at the cost of their lives. Here we paid twenty
millions to the bankrupt West Indian slaveholders,
and still pay more than half-a-million a-year inte-
rest for it. Besides that, we have paid to sup-
press the traffic nearly the same sum annually.
Altogether we pay nearly a million a-year to be
rid of slavery and the slave-trade, and now
EXPERTIJS, in large type in the Times, and the
Times in large type itself, more than hint to us,
pointing at the French and M. Regis, that we
should go and do likewise. There is one little ,
difficulty in the way to be sure—that the Eng-
lish public will not have it. They may te, as
he maintain., pseudo-philanthropists, fool.,
blockheads, or any thing else in the eyes
of ExpEnTlys, still it is the plain fact
that Englishmen will not have it. A whim, a

before the arrival of a single soldier from England ?
It certainly was not the fault of " the Fourth
Estate." With scarcely an exception, the public
journals of all classes and varieties of political opi-
nions faithfully discharged their duty. There was
nothing wanting on their part. They urged the
dispatch of troops by the overland route and
Government steamers. But red-tapism prevailed
Sir CHARLES WOOD could not endure any infrac-
tion of routine. He was devoted to the Cape
route and sailing vessels, and all the improve-
ments of the present century were repudiated by
the obstructor-general. Lord Enrimisroxn strove
to stimulate the Governor-General to action ; but
there "was no hurry"—nothing requiring extraor-
dinary speed or energy.
Lord CANNING was a worthy coadjutor of the
First Lord of the Admiralty, and thus it happened
that the fearful danger was occasioned. It can-
not, however, stop here. A stringent inquiry
must be instituted into the conduct of some of the
Queen's bad bargains.
Delhi was completely our own ; and Captain
_HODSON, who was fortunate enough to capture
the Brummagem MOGUL and his turbulent sons
and grandsons, had displayed the highest zeal
and enthusiasm. His promptitude in inflicting
well-merited punishment on these miscreants, and
preventing the possibility of their escape, either
through sympathising rebels or lenient civilians,
is worthy of the greatest praise. He exhibited
all through a total indifference to danger,
similar to that by which our HAVELOCKS, NICHOL-
SONS, NEILLS, GREATHEDS, and SALEELDS have
made their names illustrious in the national
archives. And we earnestly hope that he may
receive a fair share of the honours to be bestowed
on those who have so well merited them.
It was reasonably expected that GREATHED
would be enabled to join his forces with those of
HAVELOCK and OUTRAM, at Lucknow, by the 30th
of October, and with such a triumvirate at the
head of seven thousand soldiers, there was nothing
that could not be achieved. From Delhi to Agra
was clear. Cawnpore was all right. Colonel
WILSON had defeated the rebels at Bithoor, and
destroyed the residence of the infamous NANA
SAME. All looks favourable, and we trust that
the next mail will dispel any anxiety or uneasiness
that may still be entertained respecting Lucknow,
its helpless fugitives, and its truly noble garrison
and their relievers.
