i The series in the Journal DIES Debafs, from JULES
JANIN and HEcToR BERLIoz, is the most pleasant
and authoritative information. BERLIoz is great
composer himself, and author of the Musical Tour

better than JANIN, who scribbles perpetually on all
subjects. BERLIoz says: :" The orchestra at Bonn,
without being bad, did not in grandeur and excel
lence, satisfy the expectations which the charac

riches of instrumental Europe Justly excited"

| Many foolish things are uttered by the London
press concerning his Majesty LOUIS PHILIPPE one
of the most absurd is the suggestion OF the Lon
don Morning Chronicle that the King was jealous
of Queen VICToRIA's visit to the continent and
therefore got up" couner-vists and royal rendez-
vous, such as the meeting at Pampeuna Inde-
pendently of the objects which LOUIS PHILIPPE
may have to pursue with the Spanish Court, he has
passion for royalty in all its pageantry and aims
and direct interest in the monarchical cause
which must render highly acceptable to him such
proceedings, scenes, and sympathes as belong to
the VICTORIA visit BY the way, let me remark

scientific, has good regular communications from

predictions. II is, however, well served from Con-
