DRUR -LANE THEATRE.

M. Jullien devoted the first part of his promenade
concert last night to Metidelsshon—every incident in
it being from the pen of that lamented composer. He
began will the A minor symphony, stid concluded
with the music of the Midsummer Nights Dream—
the intermediate pieces consisting of the war march
from Athalie, and a pianoforte monde executed by M.
Billet, who is one of the must intelligent interpreters
of music of this high and imi:ginative class that we
have. The great instrumental pieces we have enu-
merated above were played with great spitir, taste,
and accuracy ; and the attention which they received
from an audience of vast numerical proportions was
al! that could be wished. The charming little Borg
of " The First Violet," and a Volkstied, were sung
between whiles by Jetty Treffz, and both were en-
cored, though the former only was repeated. We
trust another Mendelssohnian Festival will be given
before the "month" appropriated by Jullien is ex-
busted. The public, judging by its 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 materials, The Bri-
tish Army Quadrille was the principal feature, and it
was played, the programme told us, for the last time
this season.

THE Pops's BULL IN ENGLAND.—An admirable
caricature with this title has just been published by
Mr. Clayton. The artist has, in allusion to the flight
of Pio Nono from Rome, disguised as a footman, re-
presented him as a flunkey driving his bull into the
rich pastures of Mr. John Bull, wbo stands with his
bull-dogs in the leash, keeping guard over the Crown,
the Bible, Civil and Religious Liberty, and the Pro-
testant Faiih. Mr. John thus gives expression to his
feelings on the occasion :
Weil, if that bean't the imperdentest thing as ever I
knowed ! ! Why, if Old Pope. the run-away Footman,
aint sent his Bull to teed 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
wither: I have druv him out once afore; and if I let my
bull-dogs at 'un, I'll be bound I'll boon 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-
NS:EST.—It is confidently reported in military circles that
the large sum of sixteen thousand pounds • has been offered
y the Major of a Lancer Regiment, recently quartered here,
'
for the purchase of the Lieutenant Colon AY, and refused
after two days' deliberation. The highest sum ever given
for the purrlisse of a step, was, we believe, twenty thousand
pounds. Brighton Paper.

A nursP of Bethlent Hospital, named Susannah
Clark, was yesterday remanded from the Lambeth 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 moat lax system
prevailed with regard to the custody of provisions in the

on the carelessness exhibited in that respect.
