|V M. JULLLENS CONCERTS. 
v„Tt FRIDAY. December 20th, 
. i .r.iiuarv .lo^-r.v. to their popularity . and. indeed, as if the PoWlb— 
of their favourite amusement-ha^ dunn.-Uu- 
n ,.if flocked towards it with a twofold eagerness. M. Jullien, iu laet, 
d urine iiis late series of Concerts at Drury-lano riicatro, on many occa- 
sion.*. found it unite impossible to accommodate to^ttend 
who presented themselves for admission— this (treat 
the Concert* not living confined to ono class alone, but extending itself to 
the mio of persons visiting the Promenade, u* well a* to the oeciipante 
Of the Dress Circle and Private Doses. M Jullien trust* 
Cc-s is not solely attributable to any one ol the M'e^id attr^ns wMch 
lu had provided for this year’s Concerts; for, unprecedented lu hBabeen 
the enthusiasm evinced at every - performance of the Albed Annie. 
QuadriUe," the great puce dr residue of the season, and ^veralo^er 
portions of the Programmes, lie hopes that the increased pop .7 
his Concerts maybe fairly regarded as an evidence of a Trldnud 
spread taste for tl.e works or the Great Masters, as ml as i rapid nucl 
nnurressive antitiule in the mind ol the Public generally for the appro 
KamfSal/Sftho better class of Musical Entertainments 
C Under these circumstances, and in accordance with the wishes and ad- 
viee of many of M. JuUlen’s Patrons and Friends, be detmnined to 
endeavour, if possible, to arrange a second short series of ConetrU this 
season. The great difficulty, however, which at once presented itselt 
was the finding a building allording such increased spaco as it might 
fairlv be supposed would be sufficient to accommodate a largo additional 
number of Visitors. In this difficulty M. Jullien sought tho MSistanco 
of the Directors of the lloyal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, then 
Theatre being the only one at aU likely to afford the accommodation re. 
quired ; and it is with very great gratification he is enabled to state that 
the Directors, entering at once into his views, have, in the most band- 
some manner, placed their magnificent establishment entirely at his dis- 
posal, and thus render him most valuable aid in his efforts 6011 more 
widely to cultivate the 'popular musical taste. M. Juihcn has, theiefore, 
the honour to announce that tho 
SECOND SERIES OF CONCERTS _i. 
will commence on 
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20th. 
audit will bo seen that, popular as they have proved to be, lio has not 
relied entirely f"r the amusement of his Audience on the novelties oi tne 
last scries of Concerts ; but has provided, though at a very large cost, 
great additional attraction, lie has entered into an engagement with 
MADAME PLEYEL, 
the most celebrated Pianiste in Europe, to perform for a limited number 
of nights. He has also entered into an engagement with that most dis- 
tinguished performer on tho Violin, 
HERR ERNST, 
for the purpose of executing the Classical Works of the great Masters. 
MADAME ANNA Till LEON, 
whose charming Vocal Performance has received, nightly, such unani- 
mous marks of approbation, is re-engaged for the whole Senes, 
SIGNOR BOTTE91NI, 
who is daily expected from America, will appear immediately ou Ins 
arrival. 
HERR KOENIG 
is also engaged, . ....... 
The above Artists, in addition to those already forming M. Jullien s 
Unrivalled Orchestra, will constitute a most unprecedented combination 
of Talent. 
It is M. JnlKcn's intention to repeat, with additional attractions, the 
Evenings of the 
BEETHOVEN vxd MENDELSSOHN’S FESTIVALS ; 
and also, for the First Time, to give a CONCERT consisting entirely of 
the Works of MOZART. , iit , , 
MEYERBEER’S celebrated STRUENSEE (the Complete Work) will 
be performed ; also a Selection arranged for mil Orchestra, from ROS- 
SINI’S Opera. LE COMTE ORY; n Selection arranged for full Orchestra, 
from VERDI’S New Opera, RIGOLETTO; a Selection for full Orchestra, 
from SP01I K’S Classical Opera, JESSONDA, Ac. Ac. r 
In order to contribute to the amusement of the many JUVENILE 
VISITORS whom M. Jullien hopes to see at lus Concerts during the 
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS, lie him composed a new Comic Quadrille, 
entitled The PANTOMIME QUADRILLE. 
The NEW SLEIGH POLKA— describing, with some curious and novel 
effects, sledge-driving iu America — will also bo produced. 
The NEW GRAND ALLIED ARMIES' QUADRILLE, assisted by 
the THREE MILITARY BANDS of HER MAJESTY’S GUARDS, 
which has c reated such unparalleled enthusiasm, will be performed on the 
First Night, and on every evening until further notice. The nightly 
Programme will, in fact, present an unequalled variety and excellence. 
The whole .Area of this magnificent Theatre— the audience portion ns 
well as the stage— will be converted into one IMMENSE SALLE, and 
exhibit an entirely new and tasteful decoration, the whole being car- 
petted. warmed, and ventilated. 
At the back of the Promenade will be found 
THE READING ROOM,

Irish, Scotch, German, American, Italian, Swiss, Dutch, Indian, Chinese, 
Australian, New Zealand, Malta, Portuguese, Ionian, Canadian, French, 
Belgian, and Spanish Newspapers, Magazines, and other Periodicals. 
Notwithstanding the vast outlay necessarily incurred by the above 
arrangements, it is M. Jul lien's intention, in the regulation of the admis- 
sion. to preserve the popular character of his Entertainments, and to 
retain the usual Scale of Prices.

FE UILLETO N. 
THE THEATRES. 
Olympic. — “ A Wife’s Journal" is, we believe, from tbe 
French. It is based on a rather comic idea. Two ladies, 
Mrs. Harcourt and Mrs. Brown, resolve to record the in- 
cidents of their married life, setting very different estimates 
of their respective husbands. The journals fall into the 
hands of the latter ; the minutes are simultaneously read 
by the two husbands, whereby tho transgressions ol wicked 
Mr. Harcourt, who to his other delinquencies adds that of a 
profligate penchant for Mrs. Brown, are exposed, to his dire 
mortification. It is smartly written, and was pretty well 
received. 
The Pantomimes. — T here is nothing much new in the dra- 
matic world to chronicle this week; indeed, with a few excep- 
tions, our theatres have been closed, in order to afford opportu- 
nities for the rehearsal of pantomime or burlesque— as tho case
