DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

M. 'YuHien devoted the first part of his promenade
concert last night to Mendelsshon—every incident in
it being from the pen of that lamented composer. He
began with the A minor symphony, and concluded
with the music of the Midsummer• _Nights Dream—
the intermediate pieces consisting of the war march
from Athalie, and a pianoforte ronda executed by M.
Billet, who is one of the most intelligent interpreters
of music of this high and imaginative class that we
have. The great instrumental pieces we have enu-
merated above were played with great spirit, taste,
and accuracy ; and the attention which they received
from an audience of vast numerical proportions was
all that could be wished. The charming little song
of " The First Violet," and a Volkslied, were sung
between whiles by Jetty Trefli, and both were en-
cored, though the former only was repeated. We
tru't another Mendelsi,ohnian Festival will be given
before the "month" appropriated by Jullien is ex-
hausted. The public, judging by is deportment last
night, would, we are sure, welcome such a notifica-
tion with pleasure.
The second part of the concert was made up of the
ordinary light and evanescent materiels, The Bri-
tish Army Quadrille was the principal feature, and it
was played, the programme told us, for the last time
this season.

THE POPE'S BULL IN ENGLAND.—An admirable
caricature with this title has just been published by
Lir. Clayton. Ttie artist has, in allusion to the flight
of Pio Nono from Rome, disguised as a footman, re-
presented him as a flutley driving his bull into the
rich pastur€s of Mr. John Bull, who stands with his
bull-dogs in the leash, keeping guard over the Crown,
the Bible, Civil and Religious Liberty, and the Pro-
testant Fait. Mr. John thus gives expression to his
feelings on the occasion :

" Well, if that beads the imperdentest thing as ever I
knowed !! ! Why, if Old Pope. the run-an ay Footman,
aint Feat his Bull to feed in my fields. Aye! aye! I see
what it is, he wants to fatten his Beast on my nice but-
tercups and daisies; but I aint a going to stand that
niither: I have dray him out once afore; and if I let my
bull-dogs at 'un. I'll be bound I'd soon drive the ugly
brute out again."
While the Pope's Bull declares that he does not half
like the looks of Farmer Bull and his dogs.

COST OF THE PURCHASE OF A LIEUTENANT•COLO-
NELSY.-it is confidently reported in military circles that
She large sum of sixteen thousand pounds has been offered
by the Major of a Lancer Regiment, recently quartered here,
for the purchase of the Lieutenant Colon Icy, and refused
after two days' deliberation. The highest sum ever given
for the purchase of a step, was, we believe, twenty thousand
pounds. Brighton Paper.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE BY A LADY OF FORTUNE.
—Last evening Mr. 11. M. Wakley held an inquest at the
King's Head, Swinton-street, St. Pancras, on Miss Matilda
Roberts, aged 31. For the last 15 months deceased bad been
rapidly sicking from consumption, which greatly affected
her spirits, so, iiiuch so that she threatened suicide. Monday
night, in the temporary absence of her nurse, she flung her-
self out of her bed-room window into the area, a distance of
20 feet, and sustained concussion of the brain, which caused
her death.—Vc:dict " Insanity."

A nurse of Bethlem hospital, named Susannah
Clark, was yesterday remanded from the La►nbeth Police-
court, on a charge of plundering the hospital of considerable
quantities of tea, sugar, meat, and other provisions. In the
course of the inquiry it transpired that a most lax system
prevailed with regard to the custody of provisions in the
institution, and Mr. Norton animadverted in strong terms
on the carelessness exhibited in that respect.
