The GUIDES' BAND by gracious permission of his Majesty
Leopold the First, King of the Belgians. To commence THIS
EVENING, Jaly 3,1857, and CONTINUE THREE WEEKS.

PROSPEC ars.
M. JULLIEN has great satisfaction in annsuncing that, after
having endeavoured for the last four years to introduce the cele-
brated Muslim Mill'alre des tuldes da Rot des Belles to the Engli-h
Pnblic, he has this year succeeded in obtaining his Majesty's gra-
cious permi.ision. His Majesty has ttracious y allowed this magnifi-
cent corps de musique to proceed to London for a very limited
pert d, prior to the marri ,ge of her Royal Highness the Princess
Charlotte with his Imperial Highness the Archdu'le Maximilian of
Austria.

Itis unnecessary for M. Jullien to inform those of his patrons who
have travelled on the Confluent of the imm•tuse and deserved repp-
tation of this splendid military orehestta, which is considered one of
the most perfect in Europe. For the public in general, the following
remarks may not be conttdere I sit pet Minus
The Hand of thicniildts was in sorporated in 1831, upon the acme-
Bien of his. Majesty King Leopold ; and that of the Guides Imperiaux
of France Wai framed on its model, in 1852; by -his Imperial Majesty
Napoleon the Third.
Most of the artists comprised in this Band are punt's of the Con-
servatoire of Brussels, under the direction of the celebrated M. Fetis.
Its perfection of ensemb!ct and the individual talent of its meTbers
have been so universery a knowledge d. that for the last .twenty
Years it has he n regarded as a nursery whence the orchestras of the
principal musical insti utions in Europe have'd'awn their b st per-
formers on wind instruments. Among those artists formerly en-
gaged init, end who have obtained the greatest success in M,-Jul-
lien's Orchestra, may he c' tat the celebrated flutist Reichert, the emi-
nent clarionists Wuillie and tafesse the trumpet, Drtheme ; the
Wench horns, Simer and Stennenbrugen ; and many others of
European renown. In 'act, M. Jullien, who has heard nearly all the
principal bands of the different courts of Europe, can assert, A ithout
fear-of contradiction; that there are hut two which can fairly com-
pete with the Guides of Arum's, viz., the Banda of the Imperial
Marines of Trieste. ancT the Guides Tmperiaux of Paris.
The Bawl is compered of upwards of fifty artists, under the per-
sonal direction of their renowned conductor, L. Bender. Their
engavement at the Royal Surrey Gardens veil commence on Wed-
Deathly, the Ist of July when M. Jullien returns from the provittces.
M. Jullien wilt be absent chitin s the short time they remain in
London, but he cart estly invites his patrons, the nobility, the nubile,
the press, and articularly the military authorities, to avail them-
selves of an opportunity which may never occur again. The ezpe-.
rienee of the Allied armies during the late war indisputably proved
that a pto er organisation of military hands is a matter of more im-
portance than some persons were disposed to think. How often was
the spirit of the troops roused and elevated by the inspiring strains
of manta] music, or depressed for went of such a stimulus.
The influence of music in education, civilisstion, and even in
politics, is not snfficiently apnreciste.l. • M. Jullien has pissed his
life in studying its effect upon the pecipl s. After the continental
revolutions of 1848, he witness, d, every evening. end for a consi-
derable period, hits great was the influence of that magnificent
and immortal hymn, " God save the Queen," in consolid sting
and augmenting the affection and respect of the Eng'ish na-
tion for their beloved Sovereign. On the other hand, he saw,
amidst the unfortunate events in his own 'country, the enormous
power es necised over the masses by the terrible effects of the Mar-

But the present occlsion will not admit of further dissertation on
the influence of the divine art over nations and their rulers. M.
Jullien hopes and desires that some more ab'e pen will take up a
of'suc't public importance. Meanwhile he confidently
trusts that all those who feel an interest in the suhiect will, on hear-
ing the Guides' Band, agree with him that some improvements may
be introduced in this country with reg ird to military.mosic.
lii7-julllen attempted a sten towards progress in that direction, by
establishing, 14 pears ago, and for the first Vme in Enzlan a mili-
tary journal, containing many of the hes` compositions of Beethoven,
Mozart, Met,delssohn, and other great masters. It has since been
received monthly 'by all the military hands in the service of her
Maiesty, and. in,that of the Honourable East India Company. Aided
by the late improvements in musical instruments, it "as been one of
the means in effecting that visible change for the better which
has already taken place.
The engagement of the renowned Band of • the Guides is a furt'er
Rtep in the same direction, and M. Jullien fully expects that It will
be so appreciated ; as he has, personally, no other interest in the
Matter than the continual progress of the art. Ile therefore hopes
that all those who desire the advancement of music in all its
branches will testify their approval of his conduct by supporting
With their influence, and honouring with their presence, the per-
Ormance of the Guides' Band at the Royal Surrey Gardens.
