Mr. CONDE said it was a regular system, and it was
observed that none of the articles were pawned in the
same name or at the same place ; he should, therefore,
fine the prisoner 205., or 14 days' imprisonment.—The
Sao was not paid.

DEATRE

OPENING OF THE GRAND NATIONAL
CONCERTS.
The first of the series of these concerts took place
last evening at her Majesty's Theatre, and whether or
not the committee may succeed in what they state to
be their aim, viz., "to present an intellectual enter-
tainment of the highest order, embracing the greatest
works of the greatest masters, illustrated by the most
eminent artistes in Europe," there can be but little
doubt but that, as a pecuniary speculation, the enter-
prise will be most prosperous, that is, if we judge
from the occurrences of last evening. Long before
the opening of the doors every avenue leading to the
theatre was crowded, and after a desperate struggle
we succeeded in gaining admittance to what we
suppose we must denominate (but merely z• s
a fawn de-parler) the promenade, but which
was really the cram, in which locomotion was im-
possible, and in which no seats were provided, and
here we stood for three mortal hours listening to the
music, except when the sounds of the music were
drowned by the " sweet voices" of the somewhat
noisy congregation amongst whom it was our ill
fortune to be located. The interior of the house has
been entirely redecorated; the rich hangings of
Benton d'or coloured satin, which imparted such an
unique and aristocratic appearance to the theatre, have
be€ n removed, and have been replaced by some
light hangings in imitation of lace. The pit is
boarded over on a level with the stage, in
the centre of which is the orchestra, raised s la
Jullien. The stage itself is fitted up in that tent-like
form which seems to be the usual legitimate stage
decoration for theatres devoted to Promenade Con-
certs, and the refreshment tables are arranged at the
back of the stage, behind the orchestra. The house
was so crowded that shortly after the commencement
of the performances it was found necessary to stop
any further admissions into the theatre. The follow-
ing was the programme of the evening's per-
formances

gati, M. Arban Arban.
Aria, "Pia', paff !" M. Henri Draytan Meyerbeer.
Solo, flute, Mr. Richardson, " Rule,

Galop, " Immergrun" Labitzky.
The programme does not certainly look like an at-
tempt to carry out the "aims" announced in the pros-
pectus, as it differs in no material feature from the
musical pabulum usually provided at promenade con-
certs ; we must, however, make due allowances
for the difficulties of a first night, and
wait until the directors shall have gathered
the whole of their company about them, in-
cluding their German chorus, from which we expect
great things. Shortly after eight o'clock Mr. Bade.
took his place in the orchestra, and was loudly
cheered. The introductory overture is a very
" taking " composition, and was much ap-
plauded ; it was beautifully instrumented, and
is one of those very pleasing compositions
that cannot fail to become extensively popular. M.
Jules Lefort sang his song in a pleasing style, but he
to us somewhat deficient in power ; it must,
however, be recollected that we were most unfavourably
situated for hearing him ; his voice is a high barytone.
The Beethoven concerto was the gem of the
evening, and, as performed by M. Charles Halle was;
the very beau iclial of classical piano-forte playing F
the audience seemed to feel the exceeding beauty of
this exquisite composition, arid were, comparatively
speaking, quiet during its performance. Made-
moiselle Angri was in excellent voice, and of course
secured an encore of " Ah ! quel giorno ;" her recep-
tion was most enthusiastic. l‘liss lessent gave
Wallace's beautiful air with much sweetness, and J-
Sainton's fantasia was the perfection of classical violin
playing. The quadrille and the waltz, conducted
by M. Bosisio, were each excellent specimens of
quadrille and waltz music, and as ususal contained
solo parts for all the principal instrumentalists. The
overture to Guillaume Tell was magnificently per-
formed and gave rise to a disputed encore, which
greatly marred the pleasure of those who love music
but hate rows ; the question of the encore being
settled, the National Anthem was sung, the solo parts
being taken by Madlle. Angri and Miss Mess.ent, the
audience in the exuberance of their loyalty joining
in the chorus with more vigour then discretion. Tho
performance of Negri's selection from the Figliat
with which the second part opened, attracted the atten-
tion of the "roysterers," who seemed particularly pleased
with the solo parts, and who subsided into good be'
haviour sufficiently to enable the lovers of music to
enjoy the brilliant rendering of Listz's fantasis,
by M. Charles Hall 4. The "No ! no ! no
from the Huguenots, was given by Madlle. Angri
in a magnificent manner; although the air was corn'
posed for Alboni, Madlle. Angri succeeds in giving t°
it an original expression of her own which is Yell
striking. It was loudly encored. The Arban Polka, wit't
a cornet-a-piston obligato, was performed with grt,
spirit by M. Arban, and the rendering of " tiff, pep"
M. Henri Drayton, was good, though Bomewbs
deficient in energy. Richardson, as usual, de
°
lighted the audience by the marvellous facility/
sweetness, and flexibility of his flute PI;
formance, and the galop " played out" ~t",,
audience in the usual approved and lively style. -tmet
orchestra is of first-rate excellence, and we egth
great things at these concerts for the future. ill lti4
the resources at their command, it is abundae
evident that the committee of management Dave
ample means of redeeming every pledge they
given.

SADLER'S WELLS THE
-
The appearance of Miss Sarah Lyons, a youllg of
tress of considerable promise, in the charallist
Desdemona, is a new feature at this house. 000
Lyons is possessed of great personal attractions, of
though she does not seem to be yet free froo,oo,
trammels of tuition, she gives evidence of earnes'e
and substantial feeling rarely to be found in A.°l-yotO
young. In the reiterated appeals to Othello ill lsolol
of Michael Cassio her manner assumed more 'OO
ordinary artlessness, and the endearing expre°oo",
gained much effect from her youthful and ion, ore
appearance. Othello is one of Mr. P helps °toe
Shakerian characters. Ile is eminently an te:. tbo
feeling,. and the play of the countenance uncle'',
iufluence of increasing jealousy, is a renter
instance of his peculiarity. The honest indiglioar
and sincere grief of Emilia are admirably efilm
by Miss Glynn.
