The Crystal Palace Company have resumed the series of weekly

concerts which they gave last winter, and which were found to be a successful speculation. The concerts take place on the Saturday morn- ings, in a music-room constructed for the purpose in the vicinity of the great transept, of large dimensions and admirable sonority. They con- sist of solo and concerted vocal pieces, one eminent singer at least being engaged ; overtures, movements from orchestral symphonies, and instru- mental concertos. The band is immensely improved under the present director, Herr Manna ; it is about forty-five strong—a body of excellent players under admirable discipline.
