JULLIEN'S CONCERTS at COVENT

GARDEN THEATRE.

M. Jullien commenced his annual series of concerts
at this theatre last evening. It would be quite a
misnomer to call the concert of last evening a prome-
nade concert, for such a perfect crush was it, that
anything like promenading was a physical impossi-
bility ;- and it was not the area of the pit and stage
alone that was crammed —every place in every box
was occupied, and, long before the commencement of
the performances, the gallery was filled from the
overflow of the boxes. Never, even on the most
crowded Anti. Corn-law League night, have we seen
Covent-garden more crammed than it was last evening.
We do not wonder at this, for we regret to perceive
that these delightful performances are to continue for
one month only. Notwithstanding the shortness of
the season, M. Jullien has spared no expense
in fitting up the theatre. The promenade, which is
completely carpeted, is most tastefully decorated with
draperies, statues, and flowers, and in the refreshment
room at the back of the stage there is a new and ele-
gant bouffet. Among the solo performers we are
happy to recognise Koenig, Baumann, Case, Deloffre,
Richardson, and all the favourites of last season,
while the orchestra, which is full and complete in all
its parts, is led by Tolbecque and Nadaud. Jullien, in
his selection of the programme of last evening, exhibited
his accustomed tact. There was something for every-
body. The dilettanti were delighted by the first move-
ment in Sphor's magnificent symphony, " The power
of sound," which was admirably performed ; while the
unlearned, to whom Sphor's symphony was caviare,
were in raptures at the original Polka and the Eng-
lish Quadrille, both of which were vociferously
encored. Learned and unlearned were equally
pleased with the selections from Meyerbeer's
okie d' macre, Robert le Diable, and seemed to
vie with each other in giving expression to their
feelings of delight. This was followed by Herr
Kcenig's Post-horn Galop, which was, of course,
loudly encored. The solo performers of the evening
were Mr. Case on the concertina, and Richardson on
the flute, both of which were much applauded. Jul-
lien, as conductor, was of course in all his glory.
We are rejoiced to see him once more resuming his
baton of conductor on the scene of his former
triumphs, and only regret that his stay amongst us
is to be short.

OPENING OF THE PORT OF SLITO, GOTII-

LAND.

A communication received at Lloyd's states that,
through the exertions of Lloyd's agent, the Swedish
Government had been induced to make Slito, on the
east coast of the Island of Gothland, so far a free port
that ships of all flags running in there from contrary
winds, or in order to repair, or for taking in provisions,
have to pay no other port charges than a moderate re-
muneration to the pilot, and such not to exceed the rate
at what Swedish ships are charged. Repairs can be
effected at Slito on ♦ery moderate terms, the supply of
excellent oak timber and planks being abundant, and at
uncommonly low rates. The depth of water admits
ships of any tonnage close to the quays, and the ingress
and egress are extremely easy.

STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—.
The hosiery trade, in every branch, is gradually getting
worse, and nothing but complaints are heard on all sides,
from the workmen especially. The principal branch--
the making of hose properly fashioned on the frame—
the manufacture of which extends over a large tract of
country—is not more dull than the cut up branch, which
is confined to particular districts. The coarse hose, ge-
nerally made about 24 or 26 gunge, and which are
termed " boot hose," have been for a long time very
much depressed, in many instances the species of hose
termed " drop-offs" having superseded them.—The
drawer and pantaloon branch is also suffering from
declension.—The cotton glove trade feels the ge-
neral depression ; and in the silk hosiery trade no-
thing can be more gloomy than the stockingers shops,
which, in many instances, are all but deserted. The
bobbin net trade has met with a sudden depression of a
slight nature, a sort of panic having seized several
firms, who have, in consequence, discharged many
females employed in the warehouses, under rather unu-
sual circumstances. Still this is considered to be rather
a premature alarm, not founded on any serious want of
demand, and the scolloping the lace on the machine, it
is hoped, will have a tendency to renovate the market
for a time. We have seen a machine on the lever's
principle at work, in which no time is lost by the pro-
cess, which is very singular, contrary to what is gene-
rally conceived must be the method of accomplishing
the scollopping. Any required pattern of scollop may
be made, as the edge is operated upon by the jacquard,
and may be so by wheels, the chain, or any other pat-
tern surface apparatus. The extra cost of machinery
will not exceed 251. The patentees intend to license a
limited number of machines, at not more than 10s. per
inch per annum. They have taken out a breveted in-
vention in France, and arrangements are intended to be
made with the machine owners of that kingdom, not
only to license them, but to furnish them with appara-
tus ready made, the law allowing the free export of ma-
chinery giving them every facility. The patent is dated
23d April, 1844, and consequently will not expire until
April, 1358. It is equally applicable to traverse as to
straight-down nets.—The silk warp trade has become
extremely depressed, and many frames have been
stopped and stinted. This has extended at length to
the wide rotary frames, which are also now stinted.—

MAN FOUND DROWNED.—Thursday morning, at
an early hour, some persons who were walking by the
East Lock of the City Canal, observed the body of a
man floating on the surface. Assistance having been
procured he was got out, but life proved to be totally
extinct. He appeared to be about thirty-five years of
age, five feet six inches high, dark complexion and hair,
full whiskers, stout, dressed in an old pilot coat, dark
sleeved waistcoat, drawers, and cord trowsers, having on
also a blue shirt and a flannel shirt. On searching his
pockets they proved to contain a small red purse, having
in it three half-sovereigns, one shilling and fourpence in
silver, and twopence halfpenny in copper. A silver
single-cased hunting watch, maker's name, " S. Groves,
London, No. 21," with a common key attached by a
narrow ribbon; a small brass comb, and an iron tobacco-
box. He had every appearance of a seaman, but no clue
being obtained as to what ship he belonged to, or whence
he came, he was taken to the Poplar bonehouse. In-
formation was immediately dispatched to the chief police..
office at Bow -street, and from thence to the different
metropolitan offices on Thursday evening.
LATE HOURS OF BUSINESS.--A very numerous
meeting of persons engaged in the various branches of
the wholesale drapery trade was held on Wednesday at the
Gerard's Hall Hotel, Basing-lane, for the purpose of
taking into consideration the propriety of discontinuing
business at an earlier hour on every Saturday than that
at which warehouses close under the existing system.
Mr. Bennock was called to the chair. Mr. Smith pro-
posed a resolution expressive of the opinion of the meet-
ing, that a restriction of the hours of occupation in
drapery warehouses on Saturday evenings would be
highly advantageous to those employed in them. The
resolution was carried unanimously, as was a resolution,
that as the system of restricting hours of occupation in
wholesale drapery warehouses succeeded so well in Man-
chester, it ought to be adopted in London.
CUSTOM-HOUSE NOTICE.—The following notice
was posted on Thursday at the Custom-house and at the
several dock establishments on either side of the river:—
" Notice is hereby given, that the Commissioners of her
Majesty's Customs, in pursuance of the powers vested in
them by the 3d and 4th of William IV., chap. 52, sec.
135, have appointed the ' Roadstead west of the town
to be the proper station within the port of Hartlepool,
in the county of Durham, from and after the sth of Ja-
nuary next, for all vessels coming up or departing from
the said port, to bring to for the boarding or landing of
officers of the Customs, and that the master of every
vessel failing to comply with the provisions of the said
Act, will render himself liable to a penalty of 1001.—
By order of the Commissioners, W. MA.cLz.s.N, Assistant
Secretary.—Noy. 14."
