MUSIC. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA• Pro Dinroh, was reproduoed at Covent-garden bet night. in the form in which it was adapted to the Milian stage several years ego, expressly for this theabe— ♦uber'+ music Laing joined to Italian words, and the spoken dialogue being turned into recitativa, °proposed, we believe, by Mr. Costa. We codas we prefer the opera in Ys original shape, as it is performed at the Opira Cornique. music is ei thoroughly French, his notes are so esquisitely in acnordance with the rhythm, accent, mid whole genius of the language, that they emmot, without injury. he united to any other wards then thaw for which they were originally written; and the spirit of the light, sprightly French sialogim spoken on the PrOfleh stage is in a great measure lest a hen the actors are fettered by the trammels of Italian eecitative. However, there are inconveniences which must liesuloeitted to when a French opera is clothed man Italian 'hem ; and hw Dian*, is such a charming thing—so stir ring in its subject, and so full of delicious music, th►t it area never fail to give delight, in whatever form it is pro duced. Thirty years ago it was domesticated on our own stage, and few operas have bad • greater run, or beenme more familiar to the English public, than 1 Ira Thearolo at Covent-garden in the days of Braham and Wilson, and Miss Raiaforth. The hero, indeed. was one of ltraliana's hest parts. He not only sang it magnifioently, but gave a masterly reading of the character, allowing the nal nature of the ruthless brigand to be seen through the mask of the gay and insinuating fine gentleman—a thing, by Se way, which Clanioni fails to do, in his otherwise excel lent performance. In some respects the performance of let night could not have been surpassed even at the Opera Oamique. The animated concerted pieces, in which the busiest meow of the drama are carried on, and the maguificent choruses, so full of rich and re soeseut harmony, were sung with the utmost ma. Mlle precision, fire, and effect ; and Costa's fine arrhestra absolutely revelled in Auber's sparkling &mom miniments, The min , re scene, moreover, was superb; the Ant, was alive with gay groups, and the rustic divertise mesa iutrodueed in the second act, with the saltarella danced by Mdlle. 'Lino and the corps de ballet, was one el the prettiest and most picturesque things we have ever seen. The novelty of the performance was the part of Zerlina, the =nee! of the il2-01, sustained by Nadine Midas Car valho. Though she was obliged to substitute ha les recitative for the cot and airy talk of ben own stage, her persuaation of the character wee iklightfully lively and piquant, and the spirit, grace, and brilliancy of her singing excited the entbnalaarn of the reslien A bravura air, introduced by her at the be musing of the woad act, ws. • perfect marvel of florid sae, ution. lltanconi, as before, was the ridiculous banish. man, who repines in the name of Enron Boding : and Udine Corbari wee hi• too susceptible spouse Midi Pamela ; a couple well known to the English public by the =mei of Lord sal Lady Alb:a.b.

An extraordinary general meeting of the company was held yesterday in the amokiag room of Si. James's Hall, Regenteitrest—Viscount Clera.exa in the chair—in pareaaeoe of a requisition received from certain share- The CBS mime, alluding to the requisition, begged to reed the @secluding part of it, m which it was stated - that the objeste for whith the meeting was called wen the following : —•To emider the expediency, or otherwise, of carrying out tbe 4 =sta r e=llllllllolllllllM, with 'harken/an of State in of lemening the current expenditure of thu eamarevA of capitol, and of appointing a com mittee el asoelsatelen to investigate the proceedings, state, indlosition of the eenmeny ; and to anthurise the adoption el all sesh 2111111.011111 all may be cossidered seaman for giving offset to ail iinkiminatice of the misting upon all or No y, or either, of the above objects."

Two directors then ogpd the expediency of etdeavourteg to obtain better tams, add that object to a certain extent was effected. It was thought necessary, by a large portion of the board, to make • Change in their executive officers, and on the 3rd of April they I•ffected • change with the solicitor of the cam piny. Mr. Burchell, the father, was on the board, and his in wee the solicitor. It was only after • protracted dis suades that the board mine ti a decision that it in eon. ' shiest with the Inter sta of the shareholders that such cheep should be effected, sad ou the day named (the led ef April) Mr. iknitaiii, sea, emit in • protest. Mr. ii4jIWHALL, son., asked whether it was entered on the wilsonee book 1 The ('is ORMAN replied that it was not ; all protests were mot entered is estrum, but were referred to by numbers. Mr. talent also protested, ou which it was stated that, with • view to his own protection, he tendered • protest apis,t all proceedings tending to confirm the letting the premises to the India Board, it being a departure from the contract with the builder, Ste. This was the tint time the principle al the agreement wee questioned. Mr. Freehlield, who was here prevent ; he n :6=4 board, and on the same day the requisition calling wpm ilig Israel to convene this meeting was entered into. It weeeletmd that what the directors had done was ultra ring, and ifigpL He was no lawyer himself, but with the consent and ago prove! of a majority of the board they took the emidnis of Sir Rieheril Bethell, who gave it as his opinion that the directors had done nothing which was foreign to the per- poses of au hotel In conclusion he moved, ' That In the f this meeting the arrangement with the Secretary 71::te° of India is • beneficial arrangement for the in. Wane of the company, and they are hereby requested to Mks immures to carry it into effect." Sir CHARLES RI:MAU secoadesl the motion ; and showed that, though it was proposed to let 179 moms to the Indian Council, they still hail ample room for • very large hotel accotionoilliti Ai, and be quoted the dimemons of each room. When the matter of letting the room. was fully dis closed, M es. C. Hall, cue of the dissentient directors, stated in the preeenee of the loael that thearningement with the India Word wee aperfect godseml, and that sooner than not come iote tie agreements he w. mid give therooms for nothing. But the rent which wookl be paid would give the company 6 per cent. on theireaptel. He regretted the differences among ties hourekhathe hat received • letter from • gen- thus= bola( ilit dorm aho congratulated the company on the amurgoorat whieli hail been male, and declared that he w.,,:h1 support the directors through thick and thin. Mr. iteetlisti, see. -II it is a good bargain, let it be carried out properly. Mr. S. C. H !LL vindicated hints& from say charge air consistency. It was a very different thing when they were lest to believe that • certain number of rooms onl. MIMI. lie let, sad then found the uuml,er enormously anenienot He, on the 21st of February, drew up • resolution = the ruinous character of the arrangement, but Mr. thought the resolution too strongly , worded, and wrote on the list e 4 February to Lent Chelsea, protesting against the arrangement entered into with the architect of the India Board, and stating that be did not consider him self bound by it, legally or otherwise, and that was the protest of Mr. Cohbett and himself. It violated the temp tation. held out to the shareholders by the original pro spectus. There was to hive been • large eitting.rooro, a coffee-non:, and retinas/ -rooms for ladies, and a large number of other monis It was intended to follow the example of the large hotels of France. The result would be that before three years expired they would have rival esta blishments to supply menibers of parliament with rooms to meet their constituents, and more especially for lawyers. Mr. BIUNOCF moved an arronilitient to the effect that no further steps lie taken at present to cart o ut the negotia time with the Secretary of State for I ' but that a com mittee of investigation be appointed to I for evidence, Ac., and that all expenses be defrayed out of the funds of thee ; 'rn .hrr.O M. seconded the aineedment. An enemy discussion followed, in the coons of which Mr. FIMIHITELD exprerowl his decided opinion that the agreement was binding upon the company, legally and morally. Mr. NEWMAR.II cautioned the meeting spinet involving themselves in a Chancery suit. As to the committee el consultation, what were they to do? It would be millets tiro for them to place this company in the Chancerycourt. A protracted conversation ensued, involving chiefly per soma matter, the result being :hat to the amendment were appended the Lanier of the five who should form the com mittee, namely, Messrs. Edwin Potter, Francis Morton, Ca tun Corner, Cherie. Harris, and Charles Brooke. The CH•11111.01 stated that if the amendment were earned it would be a rote of want ,4 confidence and if the agree meet wen, vi meet it should nut be effec ted through him, and that hr eh, old am a man of humour resign his seat. In these sentiments the vice-chairman (sir C. Russell) con- The ueedlmeht was put to a very crowded meeting, when 17 howls were held up for it, there being as over whelming asajonty against it. The original resolution was then pat, and was carried with still fewer dissentients. The excitement biasune very great, and in the midst of the uproar, Mr. NEALI demanded a poll in the said form, and it was ordered to be takaa on Monday nett, at the same place, from ten till three ealock, the result to be declared at four. The meeting then adjourned. [A. I vertiaement.] HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. —Head achm.

The question in this awe was whether the plaintiff, h►ving leaned a writ of 5. fa. against the defendant's goods, which writ was returned null bona, could, when he sub'► quently issued a capias, endorse upon it the oats of the fruitless writ of fl. to. The Lord Chief Justice said the court was of opinion that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover the costs of the fi., anti therefore the rule would be made absolute for the return of the costa, which had been improperly Paid.

Judgment for the plaintiff. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—MAY 1. (Before Mr. Corroniasiorer Holroyd ) IN RE SAMUEL AND THOMAS ALCOCIL The bankrupts were china and earthenware manufac turers of 89, Hatton-garden, and of Burslem, Staffordshire. This was the certificate meeting. The accounts, which extend over eleven years, have already appeared in detail, with the analytical report thereon of Messrs. Hart, the ac countants. The bankrupts ap i lc to have had a surplus on the 10th of November, 1848, of 1 8911. They now owe to unse cured creditors end on 29,9491. The assets are stated at 7,7071. in good debt', and 16,673/. in property. As jet no dividend has been declared ; but the ampere are on the business, which is understood to be a profit• e one, in the hope of ultimately paying a dividend approai .e 2os. in the pound. The profits, during the 11 years'ng the bankruptcy, had amounted no lac than ; to 37,7 . ; but the expenses on the other side were returned at 321,7301., of which 220,3842. was in respect of the single dem of wages. Mr. Maynard appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Link later fcr the bankrupts. Mr. Maynard said the conduct of the bankrupts since the bankruptcy had been everything that the assignees could desire ; they had rendered every assistance in winding up the estate. But in the course of their trade, being short of money, they had resorted to accommodation bills, many of them drawn on worthless parties ; and these bills had been discounted by the bankers in London on the credit of the bankrupts. The father of the bankrupts had left a widow and a large family, and the bankrupts had expended more than their set profits in support of their father's family. The assignees had carried on the business succesafully, and they were not without hope of realising 20a in the pound for the creditors. The Commissioner—To what amount did these accommo dation transactions extend ? Mr. Maynard—Upwards of 15,000/. Mr. Li ter said there was no direct complaint on the part of the bankers who bad discounted the bills. The business was a very large 000 the bankrupts had suc ceeded to their father, and believed themselves then to have • large surplus. They had carried on the business less for their own profit than for the support of the family. The magnitude of the business was proved by the fact that the gross profits bad exceeded 337,0001. ; and the whole of the expenses, including the discounts, were 331,0001., leaving a net prat of 16,000/. The drawings of the partners had been very moderate, 300/. or 4001. a year. The bankrupts had probably gone on paying more to the member el their family than they could afford ; but as =were • on in Chancery to settle the accounts the bankrupts would have the benefit of the payments already made. The bills referred to had been drawn on partite for goods supplied ; others had been draws ea men of straw, and the very feet that the acceptors were unknown occasio ned a larger outlay by two or three per cent for the discount of those bills. Those who took paper of this character did it with full notice, and by the kith rate of discount sought to Insure themselves against 15,,. No doubt this conduct was unwise and improvident on the part of the bankrupts ; but they had then no doubt of their perfect solvency, and believed they should be able to pay all the bills themselves. There were 24,0001. of assets to meet the debts of 30,000!., besides an anticipated surplus from the secured property. In the last six months the assignees lied realised a large profit from the business, which, with the other assets, would yield a dividend of 21131! in the pound. The 101 l transactions had not damaged the estate, and ought therefore not to affect the clam of the certifi cate. The books were well kept, the accounts were accu rately vouched, and the bankrupts hoped to receive first. class certificate*. Mr. Maynard said he should much regret if the court granted first-class certificates, or anything like it. One of the London banking houses opposed in their character of swimmer. He denied that the bills had been charged • higher rate of discount because the acceptors were unknown parties. Mr. Linklater—lt was a matter of ordinary observation that doubtful paper was not discounted on such favourable terms es first•clars paper. Mr. Maynard said there vrasnot the least foundation for the suggestion that a higher rate of discount had been charged in this case. Ilia Honour said it appeared to him that the expenditur had been large includiiig the profits. The prictice of raising money by bills driw•n ou worthless penorni MY a great commercial offence, and was not confined to those who discounted the bills, but operated injuriously through out the trade. Nobody could justify drawing on a man of straw because a high rate of discount was paid. The court was bound to om,iMer this irregular course of dealing in the class of certificate. It was impossible to may that the failure had arisen wholly from unavoidable loos and mis fortune. The dividend was likely to be very large, and the bankrupts had rendered all the smistanoe in their power in realising the estate ; but the other circumstance could not be mused over. The certificates must be suspended for a certain time in conaequence,—for six months from this time, with protection ; when granted, to be of the second class. THE POLICE COURTS. Mr. William Giles, surgeon, reading at No. 1, Cantos. place, Eat India.road, Limehouse, applied to Mr. Yardley for • summons against Richard Talbot, living at the corner of the Stainsbv.road, exactly opposite Mr. Gilea's surgery, for • series of * libels upon him, Mr. Giles stated that his worship woeld no doubt recoi -1 lect that he applied ou Thursday, the 10th of April, for • summons against Richard Talbot for acting as • medical practitioner without being qualified end without being =red under the Medial Act. The cue was heard Mr. Salle on Thunday, and that gentleman heard all the evidence for the prosecution and defence, and dis • cided that the cam was clearly made out. The defendant was lined 10/., and he came before the nagisteate ea Friday and sai d he was a ruined man, that he was sorry be had acted upon had advice, and asked for a month's time to enable him to rase the money to pay the fine. The request was granted. He was not sorry that the magistrate had extended crime indulgence towards the man, but what he had now to complain of was, that, notwithstanding Talbot's seeming regret and penitence, he had published most infamous and scurrilous libels concerning him (Mr. Odes), calculated to bring him into contempt, to seriously injure him in his profession, and to render him unworthy to mix in respectable society if be did not immediately contra. diet the insinuations conveyed in the atrocious libels in question, and put the law in motion. Mr. Yardley—Let me ace the alleged libels. Mr. Giles handed to the magistrate • copy of a halfpenny newspaper, published on Saturday last in Poplar, sod • printed hill decorated with the royal arms, and at the top the motto, " defend the right." After imputing to Mr. Giles that he had been guilty of an indictable offence, and that he was liable to Ana and imprisonment, it went on to commend the abilities of " Dr. Talbot, the poor man's friend," euumenited amoral cures effected by him, and terminated as follows : " Neighbours, here's health and long life to Dr. Talbot, and may God bless hint." The lad three words were printed in large capitals. Mr. Yardley—And you behove you are the William Giles referred to in this bill? Mr. Giles- arn sure of it, sir. Mr. 'Yardley then read some do el rhyme in the half penny newspaper groody libelling Mr. Giles ' who said, in ! reply to the magistnite, that the "horrible disclosures" re ferred to him, anti particularly to his diameter. Mr. Yardley—Arid the words "illiterate, unqualifled, and utterly contemptible," you say, apply to you . Mr. Giles—l do, sir. Pernepa I may be allowed to draw your attention to two lines of the ribaldry in the newspaper applying to me : " I've seen Miss Barton's ghost, a fearful sight, And Gooseling's, too, the baker's pregnant wife." I will explain how this nonsense applies to me. Mr. Yardley--Never mind, Mr. Giles; you have said enough. How do you prove the publication of these libels? Mr. Giles—Talbot gave out the printed bills himself, and took the copy of the libels in the newspaper to the printer and asked him to publish it in the shape of an advertise ment. Mr. Yardley—Yon have stated quite sufficient, Mr. Giles. You may have • summons against Talbot for the publiett i tion of the alleged libels' CIITOTAIs PALACIO. O SHILLING DAY.

The return issued by the Registrar-General states that the deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,266, showing a slight decrease on those of the previous week, and a more considerable decrease on those registered in the earlier half of April, when the weekly number was above 1,400. The air continued as cold as it had been in the previous fortnight, the wind blowing from the north-east. . . . la the ZeO7earslBso-59 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1075 ; but as the deaths of last week occurred in an inoreassd population, they should be compared with the average rued in propor tion to the increase, namely, with 1,188. From this com parison it appears that the deaths now returned are more numerous by 85 than they would have been if the average rate of mortality bad prevailed. There were 20 deaths from unall-pox in the week. The weekly mortality from this diem' has not increased within the last mouth and is lees them it was during the first quarter of this year. Manske, bowevar, exhibits an in censes, the deaths from it having in the four weeks of April, 20, 21, 33, and 37. Three then belonging to two families, but in one home, 3, Railway-place, Lime house, died on the 19th and 23rd April from measles. There were 33 deaths from scarlatina and 9 from diphtheria. Two children died from the last-mentioned disease at 9, Charles-street, Downham-road, Islington. A boy died at 5, Harvey's-buildings, Charing-croon, of scarlatina maligns ; and his death is chiefly attributed by the medical attendant to impurity of the air in the roam occupied by the family, owing to its proximity to a nuisance. Phthisie, or oousumption, was exceedingly fatal ; the deaths from this disease were 198, whilst the corrected average for oorreepmding weeks is 163. A hundred persons in the period of life, O X--40 years, were its victims last week. The increment mortality of phthiais has been re marked is previous returns. Of 8 persons who died by suffocation, 6 were children, and one a young man aged 17 years, all su ff ocated in bed. A labourer's son aged 11 months was scalded in consequence of his mother when in a fit falling with him ; the daughter of a porter, aged 2 years, wee sutMed by sucking hot water from a kettle ; and the son of • labourer aged 15 mouths was scalded by upsetting a pan. Also 2 children were burnt by romans not dated. Of mix nonagenarians who died in the week, one was a man aged 91 years ; the rest were widows, aged respectively 90, 94, 96, 97, and 98 ran.. Last week the births of 914 boys and 885 girls, in all 1,799 children, were registered in London. In the ten eorresponding weeks of the years 185040 the average num ber was 1,650. MAMMAS °CATON. —LIVIERPOOL, MAT L—The sales of cotton to-day are estimated at 8,000 bales. A steady market at tin full prices of yesterday. carroN GOODS.—MANcienavra, MAY I.—The market continues active so farm yarns are concerned, and a good deal of business hes been does for nearly all markets ex cept that of Calcutta, for which the demand is rather flat. Mad Maas of mule twist have been in request for Bombay, and a rather active demand has been experienced for Ber -1 homy and the Mediterranean. Home trade buyers operate with moderate freedom. The result is that most kinds of yam are a shade dearer--in some cases fully id. per lb. over the rates of this day week. Some nssierate sales of water-twist are reported for China. In cloths them has been a good bushels for the fabric. suited to India, and prices are very arm. Where there is any change in quota tions, It is in favour of sellers. Printing cloths are quieter, but there has been rather more doing in the heavier fabrics of this class suitable to the home trade. Cloths have also been in rather better demand suited to the South American markets. WOOLLEN.—Lans, M I.—The attendanoe in the cloth-halls was about as usual this morning. hut the tone was rather flat, and tranosetions took place only to a mode. rate extent.

WOOLS.—Honnanisendm„ MAT I.—The wool trade is quite inactive, and where dealers are willing to give way in price a little, it le no inducement for manuticturen to pur. chase who prefer waiting till the forthcoming sales in an ticipation of still lower prices. COlN.—Hutt, MAT I.—At to-day% market a moderate supply of English wheat. Buyen endeavour to obtain some reduction, which is resisted by growers, and in the little business passing late prices are about maintained. Foreign held firmly, but little doing. Barley for malting, owing to the change in the weather, scarcely sells so well as during the week, whilst grinding, from scarcity, commands rather more money. Beaus and peas wanted at prices in favour of edicts. Oats scarce, and better qualities much sought after at Bd. to L. per qr. advance. The foreign imports last week are as tinder ;—Wheat, 2,781 qrs.; burley, 7,463 ; oats, 333 ; beans, 1,829; peas, 635 ; tares, 1,431; linseed and rapeseed, 4,883 ; oil cakes, 4* tow ; bones, 202 tons. _ _ - - • - ~ LINOS, MAT 1.-At length we have fine weather, which has its usual effect.

Mur ray, of Elisabeth, New York, offered the resolutions declaring the Adriatic to have entirely sustained the high promise she has made, and to be, as to the extent of her accommoda. tion, her grand proportions, her quiet and rapid movement in rough weather, and her arrangements for the safety of pawners, the finest steamer afloat; also that Captain Comstock, in his constant vigilance, in his uniform kind. nee, to his passengers, in the perfect order he maintains in every department of ds ship, in the perfect confidence in his skill and ability with which he inspires all under his care, deserves the grateful thanks of the meeting, which cowatulates him and his officers on the great success of this noble sbip.

The train started from 1.. n-bride at 7 a.m., reached Dover at 9.2, and the mail packet Prince Frederick William was steaming out of harbour with mails, pas sad s ae wT:be made ara and Tridatt9.ls, Agai nst ala, a end the rsh b train left Calais for Paris and Brussels at the appointed time. During the day the WIWI, increased so much that on the arrival of the train at Calais from Paris, at 1.10 p.m., nearly low-water time, there was too much sea on the bar for the passengers to go out in the roads. The new steam tender Poste, however, took out Captain Devot and the mails, and with some difficulty put them on board the John Penn, when that vessel came across with them to Dover in the strong wind and sea in 91 minutes, and they came up to London in two hours by the DOW mail train. The weather was so rough that the passen gers that left Dover at eleven a.m. by the South-kastem packet could not land at Calais, and had to remain in the roads until about five p.m. Under the most unfavourable circumstances of wind and weather the object of the change of hours and acceleration of despatch has been accomplished. The mails that left London yesterday morning were in Paris last evening in time for being forwarded by the night mail trains to the provinces; and by the use of by small steamer at Calais the mails that left Paris on Monday night at 7.30 p.m. arrived in London in time to be forwarded to the pro vices yesterday by morning mail trains, and the mails that arrived in Paris from the district, beyond and left that city yesterday morning at seven o'clock arrived in London last evening in time to be sent into the country by the night mail trains. The Pera arrived at Southampton yesterday with the heavy portieu of the Calcutta add China wails. TRAFFIC RETITRN& 311 he No. lir , Salmi Total. RAILVATIM ova. amain. diairtimi. 1824. la 6.
