_ , ? ¦ ¦ ¦ Leader Office , Friday Night , October 29 th . FRANCE . The Moniteur of this day announces that the Correspondant has been seized for the article by Count Montalerabert upon England and India . A prosecution is to be instituted against Count Montalembert and the publisher of the periodical . They are accused of attacks against the principle of universal suffrage , the right . of authority-which the Emperor is invested with by the Constitution , and the respect due to the laws . They are further charged with attempting to excite the people to hatred and contempt of the Government . and endeavouring to disturb the public peace . A few sentences selected from the article will be more to the point than any comment or description . The Count says : —
" Finding the foul marasmus creeping o er me , my ears tingling with the low tittle-tattle ^ of antechambry and the yells of fanatics who think themselves our masters , or hypocrites who think we are their dupes , suffocated by the servile and corrupting miasmata of a loathsome atmosphere , I left France for England to take a bath of fresh air . " ( P . 205 . ) After attending a Parliamentary debate on India , he says : — " I came forth from this august spectacle , full of emotion as might any man who looks to a Government as something above a lacquey's waiting-room , and who seeks in a civilised nation something better that a flock of sheep only fit for the shears , or to be led to nibble in silence under the shadow of an enervating security . " ( P . 261 . )
Contrasting the colonial policy of England in both hemispheres with that of Spain , he thus speaks of the latter country :. — " Does not history cry out to her -with voice of thunder , Cain , what hast thou done with thy brother ? "What hast tliou done with the inheritance of Columbus confided to thy care ? What has Portugal- done with the rich reversion of Albuquerque ? Go gauge the depth of her decrepitude at Goal" ( P . 213 . ) "You will there find what are the final fruits of absolute government in the colonies as well as in the respective mother countries . " ( Jbid . ) A very eloquent tribute is paid to the memory of Hayelock
and "William Peel . In another passage he writes : —^ ' Returning to France , I find in UUnivcrs , 23 rd May , 1858 , Parliamentary Government styled a farce , with scenic decorations . Happy country and happy clergy , -whose organ gives such sound information in such decorous phraseology . " ( P . 264 . ) All throughout , . he belabours the ignoble scribes " who interlard visions of the Virgin with scurrilous invectives against the grandeur of Great Britain . " ? » Young Maricourt , the herb of the Newcastle adventure , has arrived at Paris , and is welcomed by all fireeaters as a champion of Gallic supremacy over newspaper impertinence .
A Paris letter says : — " The Bourse of Paris pa 3 's no attention to the scheme for cutting Asia and Africa asunder at Suez , and its chance at Hamburg or Amsterdam is very precarious . In London it is feared no dupes can be found at all . Unless the Jews come forward , the isthmus must remain as it was when the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea . "

JULLIEN'S CONCEPTS . ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE . - . ¦ » PROSPECTUS . Monsieur JULLIEN'S TWENTIETH and LAST ANNUAL SERIES of CONCERTS will commence on MONDAY thu 1 st of Novombor , nnd continue for one mouth , bolii * given m Monniour JULLIEN'S F ARK WELL , or "CXJNC 1 SRTS WAD IEU , " previous to his departure on hix Universal Musical Tour through the capitals and olttps of Eiuopo , America , Australia , iho . Colonies , mid clvlliscjU owns of Asia and Africa , accompanied by tho olito ol his orchestra and other artists , flavants . and homnmsUo lottres , forming the nucleus of a society nlroncly constituted under ho tltloof " SocltHo do l'JHarinonio Untvorsollo . " with tho object not only of dlllusing the dlyluo and civilising art of music , but ol' promoting , through harmony's powurtul eloquence , a noblo nnd philanthropic cause . In taking leave or this groat couutiy of ordor . llborty , Justice , and progress , Mous . Jullleu learn that It will be imlosslblo for him to express In an advertisement tho deep eollugorKrntltuUo «» d attnelmieut which overpowers his icwtwlioii ho culls to mind the kind hospitality extended to him by the iiuoplo or Great JJrltaWi , and tho long and , tmlutiorviintod patronage , bestowed mum Ills endeavours to advance musical art In tho United Khigdom . Mons . Jullleu regrets that tlirough some combination , against which ho has been unable to oombnt , he has not succeeded In obtaining one of tho larger theatres | u which 110 haa hitherto given his Annual ( Series ot Concerts—vlr ,, Drur . v Lano , Covent Garden , or ll « r MoJcHty s Theatreestablishments which may be considered , anU ure , lu fuel ,

better adapted for the accommodation of his patrons ; but this very deficiency of space Mons . Jullien has sought to turn to advantage by selecting for the present season virtuosi of European reputation , and vocalists of the highest talents and renown , and by allowing only the elite of liis orchestra to perform—thus making up for quantity by quality , and endeavouring thereby to realise the dream of Beethoven , who said , " Mon rftve dubeau pour l ' execution denies symphonies e ' est un orchestra de 60 . " From tho great master himself we here learn that his symphonies were composed for only sixty performers , and , in fact , many circumstances have shown that by doubling the parts , whether of string or wind Instruments , the orchestra lias lost that perfect balance in tlie relative power of combined sounds which it is essential should be strictly proportioned for the perfect rendering ; of many melodies , harmonics , and passages , called , in counterpoint , imitations and fugati . Under these circumstances , Mons . Jullien caa assure the public that he has spared no effort to render the Concerts at the Royal Lyceum Theatre as attractive as tho first series which he gave in the same establishment iu the year 1841-2 . The immense progress which musical art has made iu England within the last 20 years has encouraged Mons . Jullien to compose the first part of his performances chiefly of classical works . As in the case of those festivals which ho first introduced in England under the title of "Nights . " dedicated to one or other of the great masters , a great portion of the first part will be devoted to the music of Beethoven , Mozart , Mendelsohn , Haydn , & c . This idea Moris . Jullien Iiad entertained for the last live years , having become personally convinced that England waarapidly earning the title of a threat musical country . Now , at last , he feels gratified to " announce that this season the first part of his programmes will present a selection of afar higher order of music than hithtTto , and will include important works of Mozart , Beethoven , Mendelssohn , and other great composers , ancient and modern , which have not previously been performed at these concerts . Among these may be mentioned the masterpiece of Beethoven , tho Ninth Symphony , commonly knownas the CHORAL SYMPHONY , composed to Schiller's grand poem , " The Ode to Joy , " celebrating the union of all nations jn one joyful concord ; Mendelssohn's celebrated " LOBGiiSANG , " or Hymn of Praise ; and Gregory the First ' s ¦ ' CANTO FERMO" and "FUGA KUGARUiSr , " concluding with the " HYMN of The SliCOND * PAR' 1 > of the PROGRAMME will be MISCELLANEOUS , and will bring forward in review those original compositions and arrangements of Mons .
