Thursday evening they gave a sacred sm < l miscellaneous concert at Exeteh II . vi . i ., and the audience ( comprising a number of clergymen ) had the . advantage of listening to a far richer selection than the one given in the Hanover-squake Rooms . ° Surely in the old Italian madrigals of the sixteenth arid two following centuries , and in the English collection , the Cologne Union might discover jewels of choral melody unknown to modern Germany . . Mr . Mitchell announces that the last concert of this distinguished Society will be given on Thursday next , at Exetkk IIaix . We may take this opportunity of recording with pleasure the steady progress of the ' Vocal Association , ' which enjoys the advantage of Mr . Benedict ' s direction . They will pive a private performance , in conjunction with the Cologne Union , at the Hanover Square Rooms this evening , and we dare say they will not have listened to their German brethren in vain .

The Concert season has set in with its usual summer severity . Among a host of distractions of this kind , we may notice Mr . W . G . Cusins ' s Matinee at the Hanover Square Rooms on Thursday last ; and n Soiree given by the directors of the 'Emporio Italiano' on Wednesday evening , at which a Cantata by Signor Bottesini was performed . This evening , that young and rising composer ° and accomplished teacher , Mr . Francesco Bkiigeii , has invited a select audience to a reunion of his pupils at his residence , 36 , Thurloe-square , Brompton . M . Jdllien announces the first performance of his ' Grand Comet Galop , ' at the Surrey Gardens on Monday evening next . If the comet can be reconciled to the music of the spheres , M . Jullikn will do it . But a Comet Galop sounds like the music of the Future , and we silways fancied M . Jullien ' s was , par excellence , the music of the Present . Perhaps the Grand Comet Galop is a disguised overture to the celebrated Oratorio which he is known to have in his portfolio—La Fin du Monde .

XES BOUFFES . M . Offenbach ' s little company has been making merry at the St . James ' s with increasing success throughout this week . They have played Les . Pantins de Violette , Un Duel sous Benjamin , La . Nuit Blanche , La Bonne d"Enfant , and , last evening , Le Violoneux , and VImpresario , the latter piece enriched with music from Mozart . M . Pradeau fell out of the bills for a day or two , but has since recovered , and we hope we shall not miss him often . M . Offenbach promises to bring over the remainder of his company , so that he will be able to give us all the gems of his joyous and diverting repertoire . M . Jean Paul , M . Gdyot , M . Caillat , Madlle . Mace and Madlle . Dalmost , have divided the applause in the recent performances .

THEATRICAL , NOTES . My son , Diana , is the rather perplexing title of a new farce—from the French , as usual—produced on Monday night at the Haymarket . Miss Oliver herein performs the part of the daughter of a retired grocer , who , being of a military disposition , educates her in virile accomplishments , and is fond of seeing her in masculine attire , equipped for a day ' s sport in the fields . Mr . Buckstone goes to the house with the intention of making love to the lady , but is greatly discomfited at finding the fair one presenting so dubious im exterior to one bent on wooing . Having hinted his objections in a letter , Diana challenges him ; but 4 they don't fight , after all , ' and Hymen blesses and unites the couple . It is not difficult to conceive what Mr . Buckstone would make of such a part , which suits the grotesque extravagance of his humour , nor to imagine that Miss Oliver looks charming , and acts with sprightly grace , maugre the anomalous costume which she wears through the greater part of the piece . We have but to add that the audience signified their approval .

DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT AT CAMPDEN HOUSE . We spent a pleasant evening on Wednesday at the gorgeously-decorated mansion of Mr . Frederick Wolley . Two coloured natives of Philadelphia , Mr . and Mrs . F . J . Webb ( the latter of whom is known by her effective readings of ' Uncle Tom' ) , gave a new dramatic entertainment in the little theatre . Mr . Linwood , an artist , is supposed to be in discussion with his wife as to the best means of ' raising the wind . ' The husband takes photographic portraits ; and the wife proposes to get up ' an entertainment . ' Mrs . Limcood ' s capacity is doubted , and in order to remove these doubts she appears to her husband in a variety of characters , a Mr . Timkinse , the Prophete , Othello , Holla , an American aunt , a Frenchman , a Chinese , and so forth , all of which were sustained with much cleverness . But the real success was ' an Indian woman '—an impersonation of mingled tenderness and humour , quite original in its tone . Mrs . Webb has genuine dramatic talent ; and it she carries out her intention of
appearing on the stage , provided suitable parts are found for her , will prove no doubt welcome attraction . She was well supported by her husband , who would how succeed better in wilder parts , and has more earnestness than humour . The e f ^ ' tainment was decidedly successful , and was loudly applauded by a very sel ^ t audience . We noticed , among others , the Duchess of Sutherland , the Duchess f Argyle , Lord and Lady Blantyre , Lady Ituthven , Lord and Lady Hatherton Lad Beeche-r . Mrs . Beecher Stpwe , now on . her way from Italy and France , where si / has spent the spring , was -also among the company . ¦ ¦ • ' e

CRYSTAL PALACE—GKEAT HANDEL FESTIVAL . The preliminary arrangements for this musical solemnity continue to proores 3 ; manner highly satisfactory to all who have a hand in their direction . The entire orchestra is ready , every metropolitan and provincial performer having already signed his or her engagement . The London department of the chorus has long been In state of completeness , as the highly successful trials at Exeter Hall , with 1100 sincere under Mr . Costa ' s direction , of the choruses in the Messiah , Israel in Egypt , and Judas Maccaboeus , have proved ; and very little remains to do to place the country branches in the same position . Preparatory performances of the oratorios are about to take place in the various locales . The gathering in . London of so many members of the cathedral choirs has suggested the idea of a grand choral service in Westminster Abbey , to be held on the Thursday in the Festival week , in connexion with the Choir Benevolent Fund . It is also intended to have the annual dinner of the institution on the same evening , at the Freemasons' Tavern . It is anticipated that the choir on these occasions will comprise upwards of two hundred picked singers . The Sacred Harmonic Society have also arranged to have a performance of Mr . Costa ' s oratorio Eli , atExeter Hall , on Wednesday evening , June 17 th ; this perform since is given specially for the country performers , who will receive invitations to be present at it . The final choral rehearsals of the London division are to take place on the 1 st and ' 5 th of June . The grand rehearsal of the united choir , of two thousand voices , is fixed for the evening of the' 12 th of June , -when every nook and corner of Exeter Hall will be filled by the vocal performers . An issue of tickets at 10 s . 6 < 1 . for the north and south naves commenced on Monday last ; and as the leading railway companies are expected to run excursion trains to and from London during the Festival week at reduced fares , there is little doubt of these exceptional privileges being in great request . The central transept galleries are to be fitted up with seats , private access to which will be contrived by means of the staircases in the north and south transepts . These seats ( like those in the "blocks on the floor of the transept ) will be lettered and numbered ; and all the seats throughout the Palace , reserved and unreserved , are to be made as comfortable as possible , proper avenues preserved , and qualified attendants engaged to conduct the visitors to their places . On each of the days of the Handel Festival , and after the conclusion of the oratorio , there will be a display of the grand fountains and the whole system of cascades and waterworks . Her Majesty , as is already known , will honour the Festival with her presence . It is intended to admit the public to the orchestra during the present week , to enable visitors to form a judgment of the extraordinary space which will be thus occupied .

FLOWER-SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE . The first flower-show of the season , with a . display of the great fountains , takes place to-day at the Crystal Palace . The fountains will ' shake their loosening silver in the sun' at half-past four , and are expected to produce effects fur more mngni / icent than were witnessed at any time last year . Of the flowers and the fruits what need to promise anything ? They are the first-born of the earth ' s beauty , and a feast for the eyes of angels .

Before we l « ave Leicester-square let us take a peep at the new ; Diorama of India , ' which Mr . Wyld has just added to the manifold wonders of the Gkkat Globe . A Diorama of India must be permanently attractive . It alternates at twelve and six , with the exhibition of the ' Diorama of Russia' at throe and eight o ' clock ; and both are well worth a visit .

BURFORD'S PANORAMA OF SIERRA LEONE . Mr . Burfokd having exhausted Europe and the East , has now turned his bird ' s-eye view and vivid pencil to the Torrid Zone . Many a heart in England grows cold at the name of Sierra Leone , the white man ' s grave ; to many the memory of those seething sands and those burning mountains is sick with death . Still the coast lias a terrible hold on the sympathies of Englishmen , and Mr . Bukford ' s picture , which embraces a view of Freetown , the Lion . Mountains , and the shores of the Bullom countrv , is said by those who are acquainted with the spot to be singularly faithful , although necessarily on a limited scale . The characteristics of the tropical atmosphere and landscape are , we hear , admirably rendered .
