Dramatic performances having been suspended during Passion Week, their place

has been supplied by it. profusion of other entertainments, chiefly concerts. There have been concerts at the Lyceum, Sadler's Wells, the Marylebone, and the Survey; all of them of the same descrip- tion, made up of the commonplaces of the day. The annual performance of The Messiah by the Sacred Harmonic Society has enabled that young and rising artist Miss Louisa Pyne to show her powers as an oratorio- singer. Madame Anna Thillon and Hudson have been giving their entertainment at the Adelphi ; and Mr. Henry Russell has been lecturing and singing against slavery at the Olympic. There have been dramatic readings, scientific lecture; and feats of conjurors, without end.
