Varié, in B flat-"posthumous"-and Weber's Rondo Brillant, in E flat, neither of which, though both gems, are suited to that aspiring jeweller's heavy style of setting. The piano upon which Herr Pauer performed was one of the most gorgeous, magni-seuses, Mdlles. Maraquita and Benoni, doubtless suggested to ficent, wealthy-toned instruments we ever heard, even from the inexhaustible manufactory of the house of Broadwood, where fine-toned pianofortes veritably constitute an embarras de

richesses.

Mr. Ella, surrounded by his noble, rich, and comely lady patronesses, was as courteous, dignified, and pains-taking as ever. His ancient and appropriate motto

"Il più grand' ommaggio alla musica sta nel silenzio❞— stood as usual at the head of the programmes, and seemed to find an echo in the sparsely-populated room. Announcing the unwelcome fact, that "no analytical synopsis will be printed for these concerts," the director of the Musical Union glides into the following observations :

"The general depression of the public mind, owing to disasters of the war in the East, for a while made me hesitate about renewing these Winter Concerts. Upon inquiry, both in London and the provincial towns, I was assured that, although balls and other amusements repugnant to the present feelings of the people had been relinquished, all entertainments of good music had been patronized as in former years. After this assurance, and yielding to the persuasions of friendly advisers, I decided upon giving these performances. I have since discovered, much to my regret, that the mournful consequences of the war have deprived me of several constant attendants at these Winter Evenings. With the talent secured, and by introducing some novelty each night in the programmes, I hope to satisfy those who honour me with their presence, that no exertions on my part shall be wanting to make these evenings, in every way, equal to those of former seasons."

We heartily wish him success. With such patronesses as the Duchess of Roxburghe, the Dowager Lady Rivers, the Lady Cranworth, the Hon. Mrs. C. Bruce, the Lady Clerk, and Miss Cornewall, why indeed should he not find fair and healthy patronage?

DRAMATIC.

and Mdlle. Theresa the Brahma deity.
The engagement at the Adelphi of the two accomplished dan-
Madame Celeste the revival of Le Dieu et la Bayadère. Although in
possession of no operatic force, the Adelphi company is not entirely
wanting in singers-witness Miss Woolgar, Miss Mary Keeley,
and Mr. Paul Bedford-and consequently Madame Celeste, in
considering the reproduction, did not leave music altogether out
of the question. It was not to be expected that the whole could
be given, nor that what was given should be performed exactly
as it should be. On the whole, the general performance-making
every necessary allowance-was creditable to a non-operatic
establishment. As much of the original music as could fairly be
executed by the company was retained; and, as far as the
scenery, dresses, and appointments were concerned, an improve-
ment could hardly be pointed out. The music was "adapted and
arranged" for the company by Mr. Alfred Mellon, and Madame
Celeste had the superintendence of the ballet department. One
dilemma the fair manageress was placed in, from which, how-
ever, she contrived to come out with flying colours. It might be
said that the ballet corps of the Adelphi laboured under an em-
barras de richesses. It acknowledged two premières danseuses.
What to do with them? How prevent feelings of rivalry?
Madame Celeste discovered a way, vide daily bills, where it is
announced as follows:

"Zoloe (the Maid of Cashmere), on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Mademoiselle Maraquita; on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, Mademoiselle Benoni;-Fatma (her companion) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Mademoiselle Benoni; on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, Mademoiselle Maraquita."

Again the celebrated shawl dance was to be alternated; so that, in fact, everything was done openly, that could be done openly, to demonstrate to the world, that Mademoiselle Maraquita was not considered superior to Mademoiselle Benoni-and vice versa. Nevertheless, both dancers had their special favourers. Mademoiselle Maraquita was more generally admired for her ease, bird-like motion, and simplicity of style; Mademoiselle Benoni was recommended to many by her firm poses, the boldness of some of her steps, and her undeniable strength. It was, in short, a friendly " passage of feet," a struggle of grace against muscle. Both artists were loudly applauded in the pas de deux of the second act, and to neither was allowed the title of conqueror.

The piece which, in the Adelphi version, rejoices in the title of The Unknown and the Bayadère, was so successful, that we literally read the announcement of its success at Knightsbridge, on Monday morning, ten hours before the first performance took place. A genuine triumph, therefore, must have been anticipated by the management, and a genuine triumph was achieved. The Unknown and the Bayadère has been repeated every night during the week, and the alternation of the part of the first bayadère by the charming danseuses Mdlles. Maraquita and Benoni appears to lend an additional attraction to the performance.

ADELPHI.—It is more than twenty years since Auber's balletopera, Le Dieu et la Bayadère was first produced at the GrandOpéra at Paris. The subject was entirely new; the legend was striking; the piece sufficiently well constructed; the getting up magnificent; the general performance unexceptionable; the music delicious; and, by a natural consequence, the success immense. As every new production in the French capital is watched with keen interest by the London managers, it is not to be supposed that a piece which had achieved such a triumph would have remained long untransferred to one of our principal theatres. Le Dieu et la Bayadère was brought out at Drury Lane, shortly after its production in Paris, under the title of The Maid of Cashmere-a better title, perhaps, than the original. The tale upon which the drama is founded may be seen in Göthe; but the legend is very old. One of the Hindoo gods, as a punishment for some dereliction, is driven from the heavens and condemned to wander on the earth until such time as he can find a woman with a pure, uncontaminated heart. The exile of the skies finds the pure, uncontaminated heart in a young wandering dancing girl with very short petticoats, whom he straightway carries off to Heaven-backwards and upwards, according to stage management-without depriving her of mortal breath, or foregoing as much as a spangle of her earthly costume. There is one signal advantage the charming bayadère seems to have possessed over other women, which doubtless recommended her so strongly to the Brahma deity, and constituted her crowning virtue in the eye of the supernals-she never spoke. When questioned, she danced a response. The Bayadere was produced at Drury Lane, Mr. Wood played the exiled angel, Mdlle. Duvernay the principal bayadere, and Miss Betts, Ninka, the singing bayadere. It was got up with great splen lour, and had a long run. Some years afterwards, during the dynasty at Her Majesty's Theatre of the fair sisters Ellsler, La Bayadère was brought out as a ballet, and had a | speculator.

HAYMARKET.-On Saturday Miss Cushman appeared as Meg Merrilies in Guy Mannering, the first time since her re-engagement. The performance of the accomplished actress in her popular part was as vigorous and powerful as ever, and created the greatest enthusiasm.

This is the eighteenth year Mr. Allcroft has got up entertainments for the multitude on this large scale. From this it may be surmised that they have been both attractive to the public and profitable to the

DRAMATIC GOSSIP.-The St. James's Theatre will re-open on Saturday with two new pieces, under the management of Mrs. Seymour. The bills do not specify any changes or additions having taken place in the Company. A new farce has been brought out at Drury Lane during the week, entitled, Writing on the Shutters. Notwithstanding all the rumours respecting Meyerbeer's paying Mr.E. T. Smith a large sum of money not to bring out an English version of L'Etoile du Nord, its performance is announced in the bills for Monday next. Malle. Jenny Bauer-a German soprano of some reputation, and of whose vocal abilities we had occasion to speak in our notice of one of the concerts of the Réunion des Arts-has been engaged for the part of Catherine, and Mr. Whitworth, we believe, will sustain the part of Peter.

Mendelssohn.

having to sing in such a booth-it is little better-no voice could make itself tell in such an ill-ventilated wooden building; she gave Mozart's "L'Addio" as well as it could be given under the circumstances; she was encored in "Minnie," when she sat down to accompany herself on the pianoforte in "Over the sea." Mad. Pleyel, after all, was the grand attraction; she was warmly welcomed on her appearance, and gave the andante and rondo from Mendelssohn's grand concerto in G minor in the most brilliant manner, fully proving that she merited all the eulogium the press have bestowed on her; she was unanimously encored at the end, when she gave variations on the "Tu vedrai" from Il Pirata, showing herself as complete a mistress of the romantic as of the classic school. On the whole, the audience were enchanted with Madame Pleyel, but I am certain the renowned pianist would be heard to greater advantage in a more suitable room, as indeed would M. Jullien's admirable band also.

The third concert of the Concerts for the People was given on Saturday evening last; but, owing to various attractions elsewhere, it was far from being supported as it deserved. The programme was well selected, and the general character of the performance creditable. Mr. Walker opened the concert with the overture to the Caliph of Bagdad upon the organ. Mrs. Brooke sang "O'er the lea," and "O bay of Dublin." Calcott's glee, "Queen of the valley," was rendered in a careful manner. Miss Shaw sang the new song of "Peace," and "Minnie," with taste and feeling. Mr. Delavanti was encored in Mendelssohn's "I'm a roamer."

Quartet (In E minor, Op. 44) ... Solo-Violin Duet-Violin and violoncello (Guillaume Tell)... Schubert and Kummer. WORCESTER.-Madame Pleyel gave a concert on Saturday at An accident to Mr. Charles Hallé's left hand disabled him the Music Hall, in conjunction with Miss Dolby, Miss Amy from playing on the pianoforte; the consequence was, the concert Dolby, and Mr. Hamilton.

Signor Piatti's solo on the violoncello was encored, and repeated the last variation. M. Sainton was accompanied in his solo performance (fantasia on La Figlia) by a M. Hecht, on the pianoforte. The applause was enthusiastic. The serenata of Beethoven was well played-almost a novelty here, and a greater treat in consequence. The duet of Schubert and Kummer was a good contrast to the more important pieces. The weather was wintry, so the hall was not so full as usual.

SHEFFIELD. The third concert of the Vocal Union for the present season was given at the Bath Saloon, on Thursday the 8th inst. The soloists were Masters Giles and Appleyard, of the choir of the Parish Church, Leeds. The concerted music was executed with precision. Mr. J. S. Booth, organist of Wortley Church, has resumed the conductorship, vice Mr. Monk, resigned.

WHITBY.-A concert has lately been given in this town by Mr. Mercer and the Whitby Philharmonic Society, in aid of the Patriotic Fund. The net proceeds amounted to £6, which has been paid over to the account of the Patriotic Fund.

On Saturday evening M. Jullien gave us one night, on his way to Liverpool, Dublin, Edinburgh, etc. Again he had to put up with that vile place 'yclept a Philharmonic Hallforsooth-simply because it was the only place he could get in Manchester wherein he could pack an audience of two or three thousand persons! However, your own correspondent and many hundreds besides him wished to see and hear Madame Pleyel, so had to bear all the discomfort of the place as well as we could. The rush was fearful, and the arrangements as bad as could be. The holders of tickets at 3s. 6d. for reserved seats in the ring (the sawdust being covered) had to struggle for admission (highly respectable parties and ladies among the number) by the same door of entrance as the crowd for the 2s. seats! The place was crammed from orchestra to the roof on every side-the best seats, 5s., being as well filled as the 1s. ones; but the effect of all this crowd in a confined enclosure of wood and canvas (being a mere temporary building put up for a circus) was, that the very applause, when M. Jullien made his appearance on the platform, punctual to a minute, at eight o'clock, seemed muffled and deadened. How then could the music be heard to advantage? The programme contained most of Jullien's recent productions, as "The American Quadrille," "The Sleigh Polka," "The Allied Armies Quadrille," ," "Valse d'Adieu," "The Pantomime Quadrille," wound up by the "Vive l'Empereur Galop." Mingled with this were a few of his more classic selections; the concert, beginning with the Leonora overture, played ad- if mirably by the band. The andante from the American composer, Mr. Bristow's symphony in D minor, made us long to hear the entire work. Miss Dolby had not half a chance in

THE REAL BULL CAUGHT BY THE HORNS.

"THAT tower of Danish strength, the Ole Bull," says the New York Musical World," who, when he takes you by the haud in friendly grip, reminds you that there are still live men in the world, has thrown his physical and artistic energy into a new enterprise. He has slid his broad shoulder under the New York Academy, and offers an inspiriting inducement to the latent, or already developed, opera talent in this country. Our friends will read all about it in the advertisement. Now this is a fine thing. Rather humiliating to some American who did not do it; but still a bold and brave thing in Ole Bull; who, by the Bull, Maretzek and Strakosch, we have a combination of more positive, way, is an American after all-by naturalization. We think that in practical talent, and managerial experience, than in any other three men of the same stamp we have ever hard in this country. Ole Bull and Strakosch have been uniformly successful in their concertgiving in the United States: at all events, where anybody could succeed, they have succeeded. At the time the lamented Madame Sontag, with her accompanying troupe, were on travel through the United States, Ole Bull and Strakosch went over the same route, and actually made more money, it is confidently believed, than the other enterprise. The truth is, our champagny friend Strakosch, is a shrewd business man, as well as clever artist: while Mr. Maretzek had more operatic experience than any other manager in the country. The combination of three such men is a favourable augury for the future Academy, and there is success to be attained in the enterprise, they will secure it." [Here then is the secret of the Strakosch Expedition. We wish, as we said before, our "champagny friend" may see Sophie, Johanna, and Sims, and they the terms.-ED.]

HAPPELL'S FOREIGN MODEL PIANOFORTE.cottage pianoforte) THREE STRINGS, and the fullest grand compass of SEVEN OCTAVES. It is strengthened by every possible means to endure the greatest amount of wear, and to stand perfectly in any climate. The workmanship is of the best description, the tone is round, full, and rich, and the power equal to that of a Bichord Grand. The Case is of the most elegant construction in Rosewood, (vide the sketch), the touch elastic, and the repetition very rapid. Every possible precaution has been taken to insure its standing well in tune. Mr. Chappell especially invites the attention of the public, the profession, and merchants to the FOREIGN MODEL, feeling assured that no pianoforte, in all respects comparable, has hitherto been made in England at the same price. Every instrument will be warranted, and (if desired) exchanged within twelve months of the purchase. 50, New Bond-street, London.

OLLOWAY'S PILLS a sure remedy for Indigestion Bile, and disordered Stomachs -Mr. Patrick O'Brien, of Newtownards, had frequent attacks of bile and indigestion, particularly after indulging freely in the luxuries of the table. His appetite was good, but his digestion weak, which obliged him to have recourse to medicine as oft-changed as told, for he seldom obtained more than temporary relief, relapsing again into the same unpleasantness. Holloway's Pills were recommended to him after all, and it is quite astonishing to see the benefit he has derived from them, as he can now eat indiscriminately, without fear of suffering from his former ailments.-Sold by all Vendors of Medicine, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London; and 80, Maiden-lane, New York.
