HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

M. Jullien's promenade concerts commenced for
the season last night. The theatre was fitted up and
decoyated precisely as it was this time twelve months,
The promenade, as usual, extended over the pit
and the stage ; the immense orchestra being placed
in the centre of the are 1.. A large balcony was con-
structed in front of the grand tier ; and the amber-
coloured curtains of the boxes were replaced by
crimsom draperies. The house was in a blaze of
light ; and when it was completely filled—the boxes
and balcony with gaily dressed company, and the
promenade with a dense multitude —the aspect
of the whole was exceedingly striking.
The programme presented a melange of Jullien's
quadrilles, waltzes, polkas, and other dance-music,
with pieces of -a higher and more classical order.
Treffz, the only vocalist of the evening, gave
the favourite littlo song, " Trab, trab, trab !" which
was received with thunders of applause.
Of the instrumental music the best portions were
the fragments of the t wosymphonies of Mendissohn
and Beethoven, and the selection from " Don Gio-
vanni." These were admirably execnte,i, the or-
chestra being as powerful and of as excellent quality
as ever. The dance music was lively and spirited,
as usual.
