      Theatres And Public Entertain-. . Ments....

      cood reasons are given why the place can never hold up its head as an opera-house . The most conclusive of these are , that- it will never answer the purpose of a- capitalist ; it will always bring a mere adventurer to the utter bad—and the rare greenhorns who could keep a playhouse open to please a ballerina are just now father shy . Jlillien , however , is able to fill the Opera House , and a larger place too . His wand can call the million , and the million , if they come , will help to support the hundreds of musicians who must , to a certainty , feel the absence of the promenade concert enterprise if Mons . Jullien and his brother savans insist upon taking their grand promenade . If some powerful enchanter will not interfere to save her Majesty ' s late Opera House , we venture to prophecy its incorporation sooner or later into the scheme of some monster hotel company . _

      I / tceum Theatre . —Mr . Falconer continues to draw good houses with his comedy " Extremes . Mr . Leigh Murray has given place in the character of the hero to Mr . Henry Vandenhoff , whose treatment of the character is in all points satisfactory . The Wildbriar family are still the support of the piece , and Mrs . Weston ' s name will long be remembered in connexion with the passage she so admirably transplants from the life into the scenes of this comedy . The CRVSTAr . Palace . — We were drawn to Sydenham on Saturday last , along with some fifteen thousand other 3 , by the attraction of Mr . Distin ' s Monster Concert , to the programme of which we

      took occasion to allude in a former number . We have little to say now but that our anticipations of a day ' s pleasure were fully realised . The order of the performances varied a little from the printed list , and happily the whole of the pieces announced -were not performed . Had it been otherwise we had never been delivered from the infliction ; but there were staunch grumblers to be found , who , though they were inclined to holdup all concerned to execration for every deviation from the bill , were louder still about the urgency of private affairs in town that should , they thought , entitle them to the precedence of the whole world on the railway platform . We may safely affirm , though we are not disposed to verify every item in the promissory bill of fare , that

      every visitor had enough and to spare for his or her money . The military bands advertised were all present , and t . o our minds formed the greatest attraction . We rarely hear fine singers or singing in the Crystal Palace without a sense of pity and shortcoming , for no art of secretary , directors , managers , or engineers , can thoroughly adapt the place for vocal music . But , as we have formerly said , we have never ceased to l'egret the substitution by the company of a stringed for a brass band , and so , on the announcement of every festival comprising military music , we invariably rush to the Palace—be it always observed , with thousands more—and never come away disappointed . The directors should certainly make a note of this before arranging their next summer ' s scheme . The bands we heard on

      Saturday were those of the Artillery ( sixty-five or seventy performers ) , the 11 th Hussars , the 36 th , 47 th , and , wq think , the 54 th Foot , besides those of the Lancashire Militia Artillery . It was an impossibility to hear , and it must therefore be an admitted impossibility to report upon , nil the music they played , for they were disposed in various points of the grounds as well as in the nave of the building . The grand effect of the afternoon , however , wns the performance by their united strength of Herald's overture to Zamjia , the most spirit-stirring , and we need hardly sny most popular , composition of its class . Mr . Smyth , the Artillery bnndmnstor , conducted the joint orchestra with masterly precision , and was himself an attraction , from the tuste and serenity with which , heedless of his prominence and the grandeur of his blue and gold uniform , he directed the mnss of wind instruments before him . We should not omit to notice , and we may conscientiously speak in favour of , n very good set of quadrilles upon Irish melodies , arranged by this gentleman , which were also performed by the united bands . A very charmingly arranged selection , from tho opera of Martha was another of the more interesting xnorceaux of tho concert , and coming as it did upon the eve of Mr . Harrison ' s production of thutwork at Drury Lane will have an advantageous boarinerunon

      the already smiling prospects of the latter establishment . The arrangements for the autumn and winter season are now , wo believe , decided upon . Tickets are offered to the public at tho low charge of hulf-aguinea , and to ensure the -comfort ; of necessary warmth to any number of doliqato or luxurious visitors , the tropical department is extended by a length of one hundred feet towards tho nave , and now includes the Alhnmbra and Byzuntine Courts . Within this largo warmed area a lecture-hull is to be fitted up , and Mr . Poppor , long known hi connexion with tho Polytechnic , has been ongngod to superintend a course of popularised , science , dissolving views . & c .
