Industry and perseverance met with its just reward.
The ever memorable Cherubni then the director,

of Signor Rossin, lit is not necessary for me to in
form your musical readers anything about that great

unbonnded and by whom he was perfected ia coun-

the interest OF HE Iustrious and talented patrons M
Julien obtained the important appointment of d.
rtcteur OF the celebr tied concerts OF the Champs
Eyscea. and the balls Of the Academic Royale. In
this position he was enabled to make himself pub
lie fav0ritc, and his repeated successes caused him
TO lease the Hotel of the Duke of Padua, in the rue
vivienne, (now Les 'Viles de France,) which he
ntted up as a grand promenade concert hall. From
the exquisite execution of its musical performances,
and the slendor of its balls costumfs it long enjoyed

caba formed by the managers OF the Paris theatres,
consequent upon jealousy at the success OF the mls
Cal Emtreprenem, he migrated to the capital of la
pefdc Albion. About this period he opened
old Drury Lane theatre with the pit boarded
over and joined 10 the stage forming one gigantic
ballroom, for promenade concerts. The theatre was
tastefnly fitted up as winter garden. From that

In accordance with N. Julien generally admitted
liberaly, he opened old Drury in lS47, English
Opera and produced not only firstrate repertoire,
but provided artists OF celebrity to interpret 1t. In
this season, great English TENOR Mr.. Sims Reeves
made his deLtt.
From time to time, he has brought forward Mes
DANES Persiani, Anna Zerr, Jetty Trefz, Love, An
ma Thillon, FitzwIiam, and many other female vo-
calists Of celebrity, and Messrs Pischeck, Formes
and Whitworth. He has never allowed any instru-
mentalist of talent to lay aside unheard, and was
ever on the qni Uire to give rising talent helping
hand. Messieurs Vvier, Koenig, Wuille, Reickart,
the brothers Molinhauer, and host of others, but
for NJ. Julien might have wasted their talents in
some out Of the.way continental town.
One word or two more, and will wind up with my
autograph. "Pietro il Grande, produced with great
and success at the Royal Italian Opera,
Covent Garden, was M. Julliens last triumph. All
have now to say is to request in the name of our
METROPOLITAN play going public, that you will treat
NJ Julien well, and mind and not keep him too long,
or look out for squalls" Don CESAR.
