      good 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 aplayhouso open to please a ballerina are just now rather shy . Jullien , 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 . IiTCEUM 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 VandenholF , whose treatment of the character is in all points satisfactory . The Wihlbriar family are still the support of the piece , and Mrs . Western ' 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 Crtst . u Palace . — "We were drawn to Sydenham on Saturday last , along with some fifteen thousand others , 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 hold up 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 to 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 regret 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 cer . tainly 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 tli , 47 th , and , we 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 , was the performance by their united strength of Herold's overture to Zumpa , the most spirit-stirring , and we need hardly say most popular , composition of its class . Mr . Smyth , the Artillery bandmaster , conducted the joint orchestra with masterly precision , and was himself an attraction , from tho taste and serenity with which , heedless of his prominence and the grandeur of his blue and gold uniform , "he directed the masa of wind instruments before him . We should not omit to notice , and we may conscientiously speak in favour of , a very good set of quadrilles upon Irish melodies , arranged by thia gentleman , which were also performed by the united bands . A very charmingly arranged selection from the opera of Martha was another of tho more interesting

      morceaux of the concert , and coming as it did upon the eve of Mr . Harrison ' s production of that work at Drury Lane will have an advantageous bearing upon the already smiling prospects of the latter establishment . The arrangements for the autumn and winter season are now , wo believe , decided upon . Tieketa are offered to the public at the low charge of Imlf-aguinea , nud to ensure tho comfort of necessary warmth to tiny numbor of delicate or luxurious visitors , tho tropical department is , oxtended by a length of one hundred feet towards the nave , and now includes the Alhambra mid Byzantine Courts . Within this lnrgo warmed area a leoture-liull is to be fitted up , and Mr . Popper , long known in connexion with tho Polytechnic , has been engaged to superintend a courso of popularised science , dissolving views . &o .
