Monsieur Jullien has resumed his concerts at Drury Lane Theatre;
where the " gran maestro " may be nightly seen, in all his superb expanse of waistcoat and cravat, wielding his baton of command with his usual grace and majesty. He has made some new arrangements for the accommoda- tion of the public, which prove very acceptable. The refreshment-rooms are united into a spacious café, conducted in the Paris fashion, and having annexed to it a reading-room well supplied with English and foreign jour- nals. The orchestra, as formerly, is large and excellent. The waltzes and quadrilles of Strauss, Lanner, Labitsky, and Jullien himself, are mingled with the best overtures and movements from the symphonies of Mozart and Beethoven ; and the attraction is increased by the pretty Ger- man ballads of our new favourite Jetty Treffz. Jullien's concerts, in short, are not to be " sneezed at"; they are, in their way, a capital enter t iinment for the many.
