DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
JULLIEN'zi

For a bold, jahl:aat, conceaticn,
eona;aend us to M. Jullien. Tt.e " Army and Navy
Quadrilles" have each had their ovation. Long-
slumbering melodies, which worked up the hearts of
our grandsires, have been evoked and stirred, as in the
lap of peace, with the memorias of past prowess. But
Jullien is not wholly anti- Cabdenic in his sympathies.
Ile can tune you the shepherd's pipe as well as the
martial trumpet—nay, more, he can array trumpet,
drum, and cymbal, besiie the amorou.3 oboe and the
sprightly fiddle, and make them blend their voices in
the hymen of peace. Last night saw him in his
height of glory and pride of success. The Great Ex-
hibition of 1851 has begotten in his brain a grand
" inspiration." To say that that " inspiration" has
assumed the form of a quadrille will be enough for
all who know to what superb dimensions that
class of composition expands itself under M.
Jullien's wand. Tier upon tier rise the merry
minstrels, some in the garb of peace, others in
the trappings of war. Instruments are there,
various as the myriad melodies gathered from all
regions. The bands of the Royal Artillery, the 2d
Life Guards, and the Coldstream Guards (under their
respective conductors, Collins, G. Cooke, and the ve-
teran Godfrey), ancient allies of M. Jultien, were on
this great occasion reinforced by some score of drum-
' mers of the French National Guard, under the pic-
turesque direction of M. Barbier, the tambour-major.
This corps made the hearts of the audience leap, and
brought a rosy tint upon many a fair cheek, with their
pas acceleres, redoubles, reveilles, rappels, marches,
end other military ordonnances of the French
army. To the curious in the art of drumming,
their performance is a rare treat. Tne execu•
tion of a diminuendo passage in the rappel was
a most masterly performance. After solos by
Lavigne, Pratten, Collinet, those renowned guitarists,
the Messrs. 'Ciebra ; Soualle, on the Corno-Musa ;
Sommers, on the Bombardon ; Ciofil, Kcenig, Strea-
!her, and Baldacci, we find ourselves hurried along in
the " March of all Nations." " The Morning of the
inauguration," we quote M. Jullien's emphatic
précis, "of the Grand Exhibition is supposed to
have arrived. The great city, which, for the first
time shelters such masses from all parts of tho known
world, is, as yet, tranquil, when, at day-break, the
festival is ushered in by the sounding of the chimes
of London, echoed far and near from each surround.
ing belfry. Soon the city is in movement, and the
multitudes hasten towards the same goal, all eager to
behold the most stupendous realization of human in
dustry recorded in the history of the globe. A tre-
mendous shout bursts forth, and the welcomed nations,
one and all, join in the cry—' God Save the Queen.'"
This is epic, and it is something more; for it is in-
terpreted to those who might happen not to have a
programme by the vivacious gestures, the flickering
baton, and the übiquitous gloves of Jullien. Nothing
was wanting to the most complete success, except, it
may be, a little more individuality in the gigantic
octo-basso, which filled a larger space in the ey es than
in the ears of the audience. The most cordial wel-
come was given to the French corps, whose martial
appearance and decorous recognition of the national
feeling, when more particularly challenged upon the
playing of the national anthem, commanded the ge-
neral admiration of a crowded and enthusiastic au-
dience.
