THE PROFESSIONAL CONCERTS.

THE announced performance of the Fall of Babylon was of necessity postponed, in consequence of the repetition of King Arthur every night. Not only would Pstus.res have thus been prevented from taking his part of Cyrus, but most of the chorus engaged at the Professional Concerts are also engaged at Drury Lane. As it was the wish and intention of all parties engaged in the management of these concerts to present this work to a London audience in a manner worthy of its high reputation, and as that intention has been frustrated by cir- cumstances over which they have no control, they determined to post- pone its performance to a more favourable opportunity.
