LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 5, 1862. fan of April The TWENTY-EIC was a glorious n od VICTOR EMMANUEL—a day indeed for Italy bloodless but g l o rious rout, also, all their s l an d erers. h , e Irish B r i ga d e, BoWYERs and NORMANEYS, e ven t Will have to be as silent here, as Wile the f ew Bourbonists who at Naples yet mourn the loss of the wages of corruption, and of the pleasant task of persecuting patriots. The prudent silence of our Tories, fearful of offending Englishmen if they spoke out their sympathy with banished legiti macy and a tottering Papacy, and of alienating Irishmen if they ventured to fei g a an interest in Italian unity and independence—this prudent silence will become a necessary silence, in sight of such au exhibition of national and Southern feeling as that at Naples on the landing of the King of ITALY. If mourners for the old dynasty were there, they only knew of their own existence. Not a hostile cry, not a groan, 40t a hiss, could be heard from the immense crowds which turned out to welcome, with an enthusiasm hardly possible to be surpassed, the Monarch whom GARIBALDI enabled them to choose. The receptions of GARIBALDI himself have hardly been more unanimous, cordial, and joyful. We remember nothing approaching to it, except that first burst of overwhelming joy with which the Milanese welcomed the two Monarchs after the Austrians had evacuated their city ; and when the uncontrollable emotions of the liberated Italians deprived, it was said, even Lorrs NAPOLEON himself for the moment of his self-con trol. VICTOR EMMANUEL is, also, a man of iron nerves, but he was too much of a man to witness unmoved the hearty, kindly, hopeful, confiding, exulting acts and utterances of the thou sands who, in their southern capital, greeted their new and their trustworthy monarch. For a week or a fortnight previously the event had been anxiously looked for, and when the day came, and royal weather with it, the whole population seemed to turn out, not merely to see, but to shower their bouquets or to shout their welcome to the monarch of their choice. Many parts of the city were actually abandoned, all crowding to the points at which they could do honour to the KING. " Housetops were filled with several hundred thou sand persons, as if Naples had been turned inside out." The bay was crowded with boats hovering around the Royal barge, and on the KING'S land ing the ardour knew no bounds. Long live King VICTOR EMMANUEL—King, honest man !—King of United Italy—resounds from tens of thousands of voices ; those most important of all politicians on such occasions—the ladies—doing their part most fully ; a plain proof that even Italian priests and confessors dare not attempt to instil their re actionary sentiments into female ears in Italy. Indeed, the secular clergy are to a large extent loyal to the people's cause ; it is their superiors, the bishops, and upwards to the chief bishop, who anathematise the KING, and all who wish him to reign over them. All opposition, however, was doomed to retreat to holes and corners on the 28th. The French, and still more the English ships-of-war, joined the na tives in giving their hearty cheers and hurrahs, and did their part with innumerable flags, in re sponse to arches and garlands and festoons, and splendid illuminations and serenades at night. Justly does the correspondent, who hesitated to say too much about the formal popular election of the KING by ballot, describe this as the true plebiscite —the real election. There was no room for mis take or doubt here. Such a demonstration could not be bought, even had such been the wish ; and it is certain enough that it was not done to order, or brought about by fear. It was the spontaneous and enthusiastic confirmation, by the Southern capital of its choice of Italian unity and constitutional go vernment, its final adieu to Bourbonism. Every one of those ringing cheers was a curse on the old . dynasty, its cruelties, and its wretched supersti tions. The value of all this joy is greatly enhanced by the wicked measures taken to destroy it. Hither to tne French, the POPE, and the EX-KING among them, have compelled the Neapolitans to suffer both socially and politically, for exercising the first right of a people, that of choosing their own form of Government. They have compelled the Nea politans to acquiesce in Turin as a capital, and they have infested the southern territories with their brigangage, They have thus tried to mor tify the vanity of a city once a capital itself, and they have, at the same time, inflicted the worst disorders and dangers of war in time of peace. Bat the Neapolitans are not to be moved ; they trust their King as not a Piedmoutese merely, but an Italian, and full well do they appreciate the unworthy intermeddling of France, which, under all kinds of lying pretexts, keeps them out of the only capital to which all other Italian capitals would willingly surrender their claims. Possibly the whole occurrence may have its weight with the singular and self-willed AUTO CRAT of the Tuilleries. It is do no doubt flattering to his own pride, and to that of the nation, that France can do as it will at Rome ; and thus show its suptemaey in Italy. But we may hope that the French and their ruler will soon think gene rosity more honlurable than a barren display of a power which no one doubts—that it will appear that Lord PALMERSTON did not, as we indeed hoped at the time, sneak without knowing the French EMPEROR'S mind, in the Italian debate—that Gen. Goyon has not been recalled without purpose, and a general, who is no ultra-montainist, but an honest soldier, proposed in his place—but, that the time of Italian deliverance from the French and the POPE may be at hand. Then will come the pre- paration for the greater struggle—the struggle which must come, and which must end with exultations at Venice resembling those at Milan in 1859, and those at Naples in April, 1862. The statistics of the Great Exhibition afford to us all, perhaps, the readiest suggestion of the general character, the scope and diversity of that extraordinary enterprise. It is indicative at once of the vast dimensions of the undertaking—the per fectly credible statement of the fact that upon the first day of the Exhibition, upon the day of its inauguration, the building, besides containing within it all the multifarious treasures of art and nature, of science and industry, sheltered at one and the same time also under its enormous transparent roof, as nearly as can be computed accurately, '33,000 persons, either taking part in the ceremonial proces sion or simply witnessing it. It is remarkable also in its way merely to bear in mind for a moment the number of different regions of the earth that have contributed to this Great World's Show. Besides the contributions of more or less intrinsic value, each of them in their way invested with a special interest, that for months and months past pouring into the Palace of the Ex hibition have from every mevery City an d town i n th e U n i ted Kingdom—the like has been doing all this while, more or less energetically, as the time of prepara tion sped onwards, by as many as 31 British colo nies, and by no less than 36 foreign countries, to the North and to the South, to the East and to the West, and in both hemispheres. If we examine the mere structure of the Exhibi tion Building itself we shall find ample reasons in spite of its external ugliness to gaze upon the edifice when within it with feelings of wonder and admiration. Unlike the Fairy Naves and Transepts of Crystal that rose eleven years ago from the green sward of Hyde Park almost as magically it seemed in rapidity and even in beauty, as the Arabian Halls of Aleddin—the present Exhibition Building is not for one thing, and just to begin with, a Crystal Palace at all. The enormous cucumber frames at each extremity of it are, it is true, cased with glass ttn,thie naves and dignified w i t h t h e t i t l es of domes — port i ons of transepts again are illuminated with long slanting Skylights j but otherwise the materials with which the edifice has been construe• ted, are—Timber, and B r i c k s, an d I ron, and Felt. It is by a sort of PenessitY, therefore, that in its construction almost all the great leading principles of esthetics have been remorselessly violated. Tn lonlnoh that the Building is without any arehi beauty whatever. In point tectural of fa s t the THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY' EVENING, MAY 5, 1862. architects have been dispensed with altogether, from beginning to end, in the process of its con struction. Instead of an architect, the Commis sioners of the Exhibition nominated an Engineer to preside over the labours of its fabrication—and that Engineer, the same enterprising gentleman who had already distinguished himself down at the ex treme eastern corner of South Kensington by the botching together of those audacious iron and wooden hutches, aptly designated by Mr. GODWIN, of the Builder (and the name has stuck them ever since), the " Brompton Boilers." Capt. FOWICES, however, of the Royal Engineers, has—this at least ought, in simple justice, to be acknowledged, in his regard unhesitatingly—shown a decided advance in his later achievement. " Well he might !" many will doubtless be disposed to interject here: but we will pass by the more captious critics .of this Great Innovator upon all our old-world ideas, in reference to what has until now been deemed right and proper in the way of any possible subordination of the art of archi tecture to the science of engineering. We will look at the capacities of the new Build ing—and then in regard to these, at least if in regard to nothing else, we shall find reason to admire and wonder. A glance down the vast cen tral nave, 800 feet in length, from under either the Eastern or the Western Dome, will almost of itself suffice. Besides which, at the central point of in tersection, in the very core or heart of the structure, there stretches north and south across the middle of the Nave, the Central Transept, 635 feet from end to end—the Central Transept being flanked at either extremity of the Nave with a Transept here to the East, there to the West, running parallel to it, and, of course (like the Central Transept itself), at right angles to the Nave. Nave and Transepts all of them being 100 feet high, and all having, at the least, a width of 85 feet. Perched up aloft, more over, there is the mile and half of Upper Galleries with a width varying from 25 to 50 feet through out. It has been calculated, moreover, that the iron employed in the building of this vast structure embraces among it " 332 square columns of 12 inches in diameter for the Nave and Transepts, 321 eight inch round columns, and 14912-inch square columns for the gallery; 138 eight-inch square clerestory columns, and 160 10-inch square columns, support ing the floors of the picture-galleries ; with 62 round columns for supporting the roofs of the glass courts," And by one of those eccentric little fancies with which mere arithmeticians indulge themselves by way of illustrating any more than ordinary aggregate, it has been remarked that "If all the columns were put end to end they would extend from the Exhibition building either eastward as far as the London Docks, or westward as far as Kew, or northward as far as Hampstead, or south ward to the Sydenham Crystal Palace." Then, in regard to the mere weight of the iron used in the construction of this singular edifice, it is surely something remarkable to know for certain that as many as 4,000 tons altogether are there in the shape of girders, shoes, &c.—to say nothing of a whole 1,000 tons of iron additional for the ribs and co lumns and girders of the domes above ! These same domes being:2so feet high and 160 feet in diameter, and, consequently, the largest ever known to have been constructed. As we have been lately reminded, in fact, by an historical computation, to the effect, that " The dome of the Parthenon is 142 feet in dia meter, and 70 feet high ; the dome in the baths of Caracalla was 111 feet in diameter ; Brunelleschi's, at Florence, is 139 feet in diameter, and 133 feet high ; the dome of St. Peter's is 158 feet in dia meter, and 268 feet high, from the external plinth; and the dome of St. Paul's is 112 feet in diameter, by 215 feet high." Turning, however, from the building itself, and reverting again for a moment to the ceremonies of an inaugural character that took place there on May-day, it was surely but strictly in keeping with the scale upon which everything else there was conducted, when we find that there were in the orchestra 2,000 singers, male and female, and 400 instrumentalists. Namely, in regard to the latter,l4B violins, 50 violas, 45 violin cellos, 45 double basses, 6 piccolos, 6 flutes, 10 oboes, 10 clarionets, 12 bassoons, 12 horns, 6 cor nets, 6 trumpets, 9 trombones, 3 ophicleides, 4 ser pents, 4 bombardons, 4 euphoniums, 12 side-drums. 3 sets of kettle. drums, and, together with triangles, cymbals, and so forth, the Big Drum expressly made for the great HANDEL Festival. Without remem brance of that rolling diapason of sound from the orchestra on May-day, we close for a while our running comments upon the mere Statistics of the Exhibition. We must now drop the old expression " The army of the Potomac." Our readers must now look out for intelligence from two great and hardly con nected armies—the army before Yorktown, and that before the little village of Corinth, important only as the junction of two intersecting railways. The two great Federal armies and the opposed Con- federate armies are distant from each other in a direct line not less than seven hundred miles; the Northern communications with the capital are all quite open ; but the clever seizure of the railway by General MITCHELL has completely severed the two Confederate armies from all intercourse with each other, except indeed by very tardy and cir cuitous routes. This will compel BEAUREGARD to rely on the country south of him, which is little qualified to supply his wants. The army opposed to him is supplied from the wealthy and populous North-west States, and will probably soon recruit itself after the severe check it has received. It will probably, however, find that the works thrown up at Corinth, where no gunboats can approach, are not to be carried without a severe struggle, if they be carried at all. To this point, therefore, where GRANT and BUELL are pitted against BEAUREGARD, we leek with solicitude on the arrival of each tele gram, expecting the news of some serious battle, Uonnected with this, also, and not far from it, is the squadron under Commodore FOOTE, and a smaller land army under General POPE, who are at work reducing the forts on the Mississippi, and who, when they have succeeded, will turn General BEAUREGARD's left flank. To the Virginian armies under BANKS, WDOWELL, and MACCLELLAN we shall also be looking with expectant c ur i os i ty. W e see from later accounts that the works at Yorktown are probably even stronger than we had described them as being, and such as it is not easy to see what M'CLELLAN can do with them. Regular approaches will be slo w work, though, there is little doubt, that like any other defences they must yield by that method to superior strength. Accounts up to the 23d by the Asia, do not mention that any progress has been made by the federal army, but they do mention that the Confederate Government has required the masters in the adjoining countries to furnish the aid of one-half their negroes to erect fortifications a little higher up the peninsula then Yorktown, to cover its rear, and when it is taken, to prove a fresh and formidable obstacle to M'CLELLA'xs advance to Richmond. This is the just penalty paid by the Federals, for their slack ness in emancipating the rebel negroes. Those negroes are now employed in the heavy unskilled trenchwork, thus leaving the fighting men fresh and unfatigued to work the guns. Whether BANKS and M‘DoWELL will ba able separately or unitedly to fall upon Richmond, while the chief Federal army in Virginia confronts M'CLELLAN, remains to be seen. It is evidei that the Confederates do not mean to surrenderthe Premier State without a severe struggle. The chief part of the lows which arrived yester day consists merely of ramours, and when the direct statements we receive become every day less and less reliable through tie restrictions put on the press by Government, it s useless to endeavour to to extract truth, or even probabilities, from ru mours. Even the positive issertion that a despatch of General BEAUREGARD had been intercepted, whose contents were furnisied, was, it is now said, false; the despatch is affirned to be a forgery ! Nothing but the utmost sispicion and vigilance can guard against imposition in the study of news from Northern sources. Me cannot, however, say that that from the South is much more trust worthy. It is only now tlat we begin fairly to understand the details of tie great Federal check at Pittsburg Landing. We do not mean to-day to discuss the particulars of alteration in the late Revised Code, but we would just drop one word of warning in anticipation of the debate to-night. We wish hon. members to be aware that sensible people everywhere begin clearly to understand that all the opposition has been based on interested lemands on the public exchequer, and it has succeeded far beyond its deserts through the sympathy of Toryism with tax-spending, and through its partisan seizing hold of any agitation which could annoy the Go ♦ernment. The country quite understands now that the fight is not for education but for money, whether the education be given or not. We all see now that the concessions made by the Government have been all in one direction. Their object has been to in sure to the former recipients of the public money that they shall continue to receive the same sum, or more, although they still continue to secure the at tendance only, not the instruction of the children. One thing is apparent in these, to us, almost revolting discussions : it is, that they all turn on how much money the sehooi will get. How much teaching the poor children will get, we hardly hear of ; it is all whether managers or teachers of one kind or another will get as much money as before. We shall not be surprised to see a good deal of the same kind of pauper clamour to-night. Pity the managers, the teachers, tie pupil teachers, will be probably the cry. We codd not have supposed a few years' protective bounfies and State-nursing for education would so soon have deprived really respectable and worthy persms of all self-reliance, and induced them to be.!ome, on behalf of education, as they profess, tut really on behalf of themselves, claimants for educational out -door relief. In truth, the really poor and needy districts get nothing under the old system, or under any of the codes. Our whole Privy Council system is one of helping the rich and sending the poor empty away. Where there are people who can subscribe, there the Gcvernment lavishes its favours ; where men are only poor, the Government does nothing. Yet the recipients, on this precious system, move heaven and earth for fear of losing their bounties, when the State merely says, " at least show work worth paying for !" Again, we warn hon. members that the country is opening its eyes —is beginning to see that educational grants in aid, mean little more than creating hosts of Government stipendiaries ; in fact, the system is one which in the long run will fill all the country with depen dents of the Central Government. LATEST N E WS. MADRID, MAY 4 (Evening). According to advices received here from Havan. nah to the 6th of April, Juarez had ordered Gene. rals Pinzon, Galvez, and NegretE, to be shot. The Spanish Government is about to send a rein• forcement of 4,000 soldiers to Havannah, as a pre cautionary measure. GENOA, MAY 4 (Evening.) The anniversary of Garibaldi's Marsala expedi. tion was celebrated by the people of this city to-day, The population generally, including the Cara. bineers and the workmen's associations, took part in the manifestation. Shouts were raised of " Rome and Venice !" NAPLES, MAY 3. Atter having visited the French fleet the King addressed a letter to the Emperor Napoleon, thank ing him for his courtesy towards himself and his sympathy for the Italian cause. The King says—" It is long since I have experi enced so much emotion as I have to-day. The order which reigns in the southern provinces, and the earnest marks of affection which I everywhere re ceive triumphantly reply to the calumnies of our enemies. We shall convince Europe that the idea of unity rests on solid bases, and is thoroughly graven on the hearts of all Italians." ROME, MAY 4. The Pope returned to Rome yesterday. A large crowd assembled as he passed through the streets, TURIN, MAY 4. It is asserted that Menotti Oaxibaldi lies resigned the command of the Genoese volunteers. It is believed that this corps will be disbanded. FRANCE.

The New York tribune says it is believed in some quarters that the Federal government is disposed to release the Americans arrested at Tangiers. The Confederate government has made a requisi tion on the slaveowners of Prince George and Sur rey counties for one half of their negroes, to erect fortifications at Williamsburg, for the protection of Yorktown in the rear. M. Mercier's visit to Richmond still causes much speculation. The Richmond Examiner states that the object of M. Mercier's visit has not definitely transpired, but that he is reported to have unofficially expressed great interest to ascertain what commercial treaties the Confederate government was disposed to make with France. " The Southern people," says the Richmond Ex aminer," would applaud a treaty securing to France an equal right with Southern vessels in the carry ing trade to Southern ports, providing France would raise the blockade." The Richmond Despatch says that M. Mercier has opened negotiations with the Confederate Secre taries of State. The Confederate Congress has determined not to adjourn until the termination of M. Mercier's mis sion. Any kind of arrangement will be made with the Confederate President. The Richmond Despatch considers this to be a perfect acknowledgment by France of the indepen dence of the Confederate States. The Washington correspondent of the New York World says it is believed in some political circles that M. Mercier will propose to the Confederates to surrender at discretion. NEW YORK, APRIL 23 (Morning). The Federal iron-clad steamer Galena has sailed for Fortress Munroe. Beauregard is being largely reinforced at Corinth from Memphis and New Orleans. It is supposed that the valley of the Mississippi will be stubbornly defended by a large Confederate army. No further news has been received from York town. The Southern journals report that an engage ment has taken place at Elizabeth City with a por tion of Burnside's expedition. Heavy loss was sustained on both sides. The Federals have commenced an attack on Fort Macon, Savannah. Southern newspapers urge a vigorous defence of Savannah city. The New York, Bohemian, and Teutonia, have asrived out. Mr. John Bright has addressed a letter to the New York Chamber of Commerce, in which he ob serves that there is no country in which men have been so free and properous as in America ; and that there is no political constitution in existence in the preservation of which the human race is so deeply interested as the American constitution. Mr. Bright is sure that an overwhelming majority of the Eng lish people will rejoice at the restoration of the Union and the success of the Federals. The reported departure of the steamer Orvieto from Liverpool has caused excitement among the shipping interest at New'York. ILLNESS OF 2HE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

The coronet of the Princess Alice is not of the stereotyped medieval design, but has been selected from the forms of natural flowers. It was commenced previous to the death of the lamented Prince Consort, when the marriage was fixed to take place early in the present year, and will form one of the most splendid and (in every sense of the word) one of the most precious articles of the trousseau.—Court Journal. LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—GREAT YARMOUTH, Sun day Night.—This afternoon a schooner was seen in a very heavy sea, and with a strong wind from the east, to burn a barrel on the Barber Sand as a signal of distress. The Cai• tor lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Insti tution, was immediately launched, and, after very great risk, the crew, seven in number, were rescued. The life boat, while alongside the wreck, broke her keel, tore off some of her cork fittings, and otherwise damaged herself. The vessel's name was the Trial, of Poole, from Hartlepool to Poole, with coals. She struck on the wreck of the schooner John and Ann, and is within 20 yards of the wreck of the brig Sisters, of "Whitby, and it is a miracle the lifeboat escaped, as bad she struck, her brave craw of about 24 men must have all perished. The schooner is now on her beam quiz. Last night the Yarmouth new lifeboat, belong ing to the same institution, was launched to the assistance of a fine brig, which was seen to strike on the Cross Sand, off this place, In a heavy sea with strong wind. It after wards came on very dark. Fortunately, however, the vessel, which proved to be the Eliza, of Plymouth, got off the sands, and the lifeboat return e d to the shore, AUSTRIA. At the commencement of the sitting of the Cham ber of Deputies, on the Ist, M. de Schmerling read the following Imperial message :—" At the moment the Reichsrath is about to commence this constitu tional discussion of the Budget of 1862, and the finan cial laws connected therewith, and when especially the proposals of the Government will be discussed, which have for their object to provide fot the wants of the State and the settlement of financial ques tions, his Majesty has charged his Ministers to an nounce to the two Chambers of the Reichsrath that the declaration made on the 2d of July, 1861, to the Chamber of Deputies, that for the maintenance of the Constitution, and for the exact execution of the laws, the Ministers hold themselves equally responsible towards the representatives of the empire, was made by the express authority of his Majesty the Emperor; that his Majesty the Em peror has not only given his assent to the principle of Ministerial responsibility, with the restrictions fixed on the 2d July, 1861, but, moreover, the Em peror has wished it to be stated that, with the recog nition of that principle resulting already from the p‘ibliention of the Constitution, the enactment con tained in the Cabinet Order of 20th August,lB6l, and according to which the Ministry is responsible only and solely to the Monarch, and that it is relieved from all responsibility towards any other political autho rity, ceases naturally to be in vigour, insomuch as it is not in accordance with the ahoy( - mentioned principle of Ministerial responsibility. His Majesty has, moreover, consented that in due time the Go vernment shall take the initiative of a project of law on the responsibility of Ministers maintaining principles proclaimed in the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of the 2d July, 1861." After the reading of the imperial message, Deputy Wieser mounted the tribune, and said that his Ma jesty, by solemnly proclaiming that the responsi bility of the Ministers towards the Chambers was a necessary consequence of the Constitution, and that the enactment of the 21st August, 1861, was not in accordance with that principle, deserved again the gratitude of the representatives of the Empire. (cheers), and consequently he proposed to the Cham ber three rounds of cheers in honour of his Majesty. The Chamber at once complied, and the sitting broke up amidst prolonged cheering. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. This evening Bellini's opera " La Sonnambula" is to be performed for the first time this season, Adelina Patti sustaining the part of Amina, and Gardoni, Elvino. On Saturday, owing to the in disposition of Madame Csillag, the part of Fides, in the " Prophete," was sustained by Madame Nantier Didiee with very great success. As to Tamberlik's impersonation of John of Leyden it was as magnificent as ever. Nothing could be more impressive than his singing in the coronation scene; in fact, throughout the whole of the opera he car ried the audience with him, and at the fall of the curtain the applause was loud and enthusiastic. ItER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. On Saturday a second representation of " Semi ramide " was given, with the sisters Marchisio as the Assyrian Queen and Arsace. Carlotta exhibited none of the tremor that was now and then observ able on the occasion of her first appearance on Thursday last, and the Assyrian Queen was her self in every note, action, and expression. The cavatina, " Bal raggb," was executed with skill, accuracy, and fluency. Her school is of the best Italian character—that best calculated to give eff e ct to Rossini's brilliant scoring. There was much pas sion and power in her scenes with Assur (M. Gassier), who played and sang the part with much intelligence and force. Mdlle. Barbara Marchisio's Arsace, despite the remembrances of Angri and Alboni,was an excellent and accomplished specimen of acting, and of true contralto singing. Her first air, " Qniel giorno," showed her deep notes to ad vantage, and the favourable impression was deep ened and fixed by the execution of the duo with Assur, "Bella imago." It was studied and propo• nee in style and character. " Giorno d'orrore , was encored. The house was briliantly attended. At Astley's Theatre, this evening) a new spec tacle, entitled " Alice Wingold, the Pearl of London City," is to be produced. Report sl;:aks very highly of the piece. Tke next Shakesperian character of M. Fechter is to be Romeo. The comic opera by M. Berlioz—written by him for the Inauguration of the theatre at Baden—rapidly ap proaching completion, is based on Shakespeare's " All's Well that Ends Well. Mr. G. V. Brooke, who has been performing at. North Shields, was on Friday night last presented with an address by a number of the inhabitants of that town. A new opera, by Herr Bott, "Acts, the Young Girl of Corinth," has been produced at the Royal Opera House at Berlin. A new opera called "Lara," in three acts, by Mailard, is spoken of a eoming wonder at the Opera Co mique. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, APRIL 22, Evening. Exchange, 1121. ,Stocks steady.

THE WARD OF LANGBOURNE AND THE LORD MAYOR.—The inhabitants of the ward of Langbourne, of which the Lord Mayor is alderman, have invited' his I)rd ship to a complimentary banquet at the London Tavern, on Thursday next, in testimony of their high appreciation of the able manner in which he has performed the duties of his important office, and the esteem in which he is held by the ward over which he presides. Among the list of stewards are nearly a hundred bankers and all the principal merchants and other inhabitants of the ward ; and the entertainment is intended to be of a most splendid and recherche character. THE MUSIC OF THE WEEK.—For the informa tion of visitors from the country and from abroad it may be stated that the current week offers an unusual variety of attractions in the musical way. To-night Mademoiselle Patti appears at the Royal Italian Opera in "La Sonnam hula ; the Philarmonic Society gives its fourth concert in the Hanover-square Rooms under the direction of Professor Sterndale Bennett; and Mr. Charles Halle takes his bene fit in S. James's-hall, at the 84th Monday Popular Con cert. To-morrrow night Signor Mario makes his first ap pearance for the season at the Royal Italian Opera; and Mademoiselle Trebelli, a new contralto, her debut at Her Majesty's Theatre in "Lucretia Borgia." On Wednesday sight Dr. Wylde holds his second Philharmonic Concert. On Thursday night Mademoiselle Patti appears as the Traviata at the Royal Italian Opera; on Friday night the military band from the manufactory of John Broadwood and Sons give a grand concert in St. James's-hall ; and on Saturday afternoon one of those admirable entertainments is held at the Crystal Palace, through which Herr Auguste Manns has conferred a musical reputation on Sydenham second to none in England ; and these, it should be under stood, are only a part of the operatic and other musical performances announced, THE SUEZ CANAL COMPANY.—The shareholders of the Suez Canal Company have just held a general meet ing in Paris, M. de Lesseps in the chair. A report was read, from which it appeared that the total expense effected in the last year amounted to 17,127,447 f., comprising the interest paid to the shareholders. A call of 100 f. is to be made from the Ist to the 15th July. A financial conven tion with the Viceroy of Egypt having for object to date his Highness's subscription by means of an issue of Trentenary bonds at 9 per cent. interest was agreed to by the meeting. The report confirms the account already given of the opening of the canal bringing water from the Nile to the centre of the Isthmus, at which point 26,000 workmen are now collected. The length of time which M. de Lesseps considers necessary for terminating the works to Suez is 15 months from the present date. All the resolutions proposed to the meeting were voted unanimously and the share holders, before separating, passed a vote of thanks by acclamation to the president. THE BANK ROBBERY AT GENOA.—A correspon dent writing from Genoa, on the Ist, gives the following details of the extraordinary bank robbery already an nounced by telegraph :—This city has been thrown into the greatest excitement by a robbery, perfectly.unparalleled for its magnitude and audacity, which has just been com mitted on M. B. Parodi and Son, the well-known bankers. To-day at half-past one o'clock a band of armed men, about twenty in number, entered M. Parodi's bank, situ ated in Strada Nueva, one of the most frequented tho roughfares, and overpowered and tied down to their desks all the clerks, who were seated in one large room with their employers, these latter being treated in the same manner ; and while some of the intruders held their captives still with loaded pistols and drawn knives held to their throats, the others coolly made a clear sweep of all the notes and cash within reach. The sum taken amounts to 735,000 L, Messrs. Parodi having unfortunately the habit of keeping their balances on their own premises in preference to depositing them at the Bank. While the process of rifling was going on, two or three customers happened to enter the bank, and were secured and gagged b y the burglars, who after having emptied out the till s and safes, left the office quietly by twos: and :threes, in: the same way as they came, so as not to excite suspicion in the streets. So complete was the success of the whole manoeuvre that the alarm was not given till some time after the last of the robbers had disap• penred, when one of the clerks succeeded in freeing him self from his fastenings, and ran out to inform the neigh bours of the fact. It must be unders'ood that the office is situated on the top floor of M. Paredes palazzo, and quite at the back, so that even if any of the clerks had had the time or courage to shout for help, their cries would probably have passed unnot i ce d . M . Parodi, the head of the firm, is at present in the hands of his medi cal atteniant, his frame having suffered a most severe shock from the effects of the outrage, and, as he is old and feeble, it is feared that the consequences may be fatal. Mr. James Shoolbred, of Tottenham-court-road, wa s buried on Saturday, at Kensal-Green Cemetery, at the age of 69. By the spontaneous request of the assistants in the establishment of the deceased, about 160 of the number took a part in the funeral procession. LAW---THIS DAY. ____--~.p,.~ _._..___ COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Befere Mr. Commissioner Goulburn) TN BE LOGAN. This was an application for release from custody. Mr. Lucas supported. Mr Sargood opposed on the ground that the bankrupt had not complied with the requisition of the Act of Parliament, by not filing within three days of presenting his petition, a full true and particular account of the debts and liabilities , with a list of his creditors, &c. He had applied to Mr. Commissioner Holroyd for leave to amend, but his amend ment did net include the opposing creditor: The learned counsel charged the bankrupt with fraud. His Honour said he differed from the learned Commis.. sioner who allowed the amendment, for he agreed with the learned counsel, that the statement verified on oath ought to have been filed within three days. The Act of Parlia ment was very lenient to persons presenting petitions against themselves, but in this case he was quite clear the bankrupt was not entitled to his.discharge. Mr. Lucas— The only opposition is by a Trades Protec tion Society—the very posts of society. His Honour—lt is the opinion of some parties, but lam quite clear that this man is not entitled to his discharge. The bankrupt was therefore taken back in custody. IN RE TURNER. This bankrupt was a builder at Penge, and this was a meeting for last examination and discharge. Mr. J. B. Sorrell for the assignees, Mr. Brough for tb. bankruppt. The debts to unsecured creditors are £1,793 ; secured, £3,218. Mr. T. W. Palmer, the accountant, states assets at £4,380. Bankrupt passed and obtained his discharge, Mr. Sorrell not opposing. IN RE KERNAN, Mr. C. E. Lewis applied for protection to this bankrupt whose certificate had been suspended for six months, no protection unless he had been in prison for three months. Mr. Bayley said the bankrupt had not been in prison for any term. His Honour—Whose fault was that the Court suspended the order to give the creditors the power to furnish the bankrupt ; has he been keeping out of the way? Mr. Bayley said he was not instructed on that point. Mr. Lewis—l am prAparpri to dhow ho has not. His Honour—Then take protection. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) ♦ TOUGH S UIT.--DETERMINED LITIGATION..---HUMPHREY. SON V. WILD/PEN. This suit bids fair to rival a family law quarrel in the Court of Chancery, and has been before his Honour on many occasions. Upon the original hearing Mr. Gib bons, who sat as deputy judge, after hearing defendant, found a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Beard obtained a rule nisi, against which, upon a day or two afterwards, Mr. Buchanan showed cause. A day or two after this his hon our and Mr. Gibbons held a kind of sitting in banco, and Mr. Beard was ordered to produce a certain account, the case being again adjourned. Mr. Buchanan, upon the next sitting pointed out the great hardship of these repeated ad journments upon his client, but the cause was ordered for a further day's hearing. To-day Mr. Beard produced an account which was held ;0 be not satisfactory. _ _ • Mr. Buchanan remarked that his client was a poor hard working woman, who could ill bear the luxury of the law, and urged that Mr. Beard had not shown anything sub stantial in favour of the rule. Mr. Beard said that if the plaintiff were poor that was no reason why injustice should be done to his client, who was also a woman suffering from the inconvenience of poverty His Honour granted a further adjournment, but ordered defendant to pay the money claimed into cDurt, at the same time recommending her to settle to save further costs, wLich must be now something heavy. ILLNESS OF A SUITOR. In a case which had been referred, Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, moved for a further extension of the reference. His client was very ill, and quite unable to bear the fatigue of attending before the arbitrator. Mr. Beard, for defen dant, said' that under all the circumstances he could not resist the application, though his client was in suspense. Mr. Buchanan urged that tho delay was quite unavoidable, and his Honour granted further time. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(7his Day). (Before the Assistant-Judge,) Thonas Gaymer, was indicted for feloniously stealing two French brandy casks from the premises of Mr. Mace, No. 333, Strand. From the evidence it appeared that the property was taken away from the door of the prosecutor's shop, and hat in a short time after the two casks were sold at a place in Seething-lane, and the parties selling the property were the prisoner and a young man named Groom, and they divided the money. At the examination of the two men at Bow-street, Groom V 7.19 admitted as a witness for the pro secution. Evidence having been adduced, the jury found the priso ner guilty, but expressed a strong censure on the witness Groom. The Assistant Judge—What I understand you to mean, gentlemen, is, that you are sorry to say that you have not to return the same verdict against the witness Groom. Foreman—That is so, my lord. The Assistant Judge—l shall sentence you Gaymer to six months' imprisonment, and I am sorry I have not to punish your companion in the same way. _ _ (Before Mr. Payne.) John Forbes was indicted for stealing a quantity of pro perty from a ship in the London Docks. The jury found him guilty. A number of other convictions were proved against tho prisoner, and The learned judge sentenced him. to 12 months' imprison ment. POLICE---THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY, ROBBING AN EATING HOUSETCEEPEIL—USBNIII CATIO TlON.—Fanny Forest, a smartly-dressed young woman, was charged before Tyrwhitt, with stealing a watch, locket, and chain, of the value of D 3, the property of Miss Anne Lane, eating -housekeeper, of 35, Warwick-street, Regent street. The prisoner was permitted to go upstairs by the prose cutrix, and an hour after she left the house she missed her watch, chain, and locket, of the :value of £B, which were safe in her bedroom, the door of which was locked, but the key left in it. Information was then given to the police, and on Saturday night ste was taken into custody at the London Pavilion, by Martin, 86 C, when she said she had given the watch to a " gentleman friend," who, coming up, said that was the case, she making it a present to him. She said she tad pledged the chain, and on the officer going to her lodgings, 17, Westmoreland -street, Pimlico, the duplicP..te was found. Mr. George Jackson, of 29, Edward's -street, Portman sque:fe—Said the watch produced was given to him by the ITrisoner, who he thought was respectable. A constable said he picked up the locket on the till of a window. A constable said the witness Jackson made himself very officious, and tried to get her away from the police. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether he was charged ? The constable said he was not. Mr. Tyrwhitt said if he attempted to rescue her he should have been charged in the usual way. The prisoner, who was remanded, left the dock crying and wishing "good-by" to the witness Jackson. THAMES, THIS DAY. DESPERATE HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —John Desmond, an Irish labourer, for some time the associate of thieves and well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Wool rych, charged with assaulting and robbing Johannes Stirr, a German. The prosecutor is the second engineer of the steam-ship Move, trading between this country and Bremen. On Saturday night about the 12 o'clock he was in Upper East Smithfield, near the Royal Mint, in company with the first engineer. They were snaking their way with all possible speed towards the vessel, which is lyi ng i n the river oft the London entrance, and inpned of a police-constable the nearest road. He directed !hem, and they went on. A few seconds afterwards the prisoner and another man addressed the two foreigners and said t'ney would show them the way to their ship. The Germans said that was quite unnecessary as a policeman had just given them the necessary information. The prisoner and his companion, however, walked alongside the Germans some distance, when suddenly the prisoner made a snatch at Stirr's gold guard chain, attached to a large and valuable silver watch in his waistcoat pocket. The prosecutor:laid hold of his chain and struck the prisoner, who made another snatch at his watch and chain, and used so much force as to tear the German's waistcoat to pieces. The first engineer went to the assistance of his friend, and he was seized by the throat by the prisoner's companion, and a desperate struggle ensued. The ;prisoner and his companion, finding the Germans were not so easily dismayed as was expected, ran away, the prisoner taking with him two-thirds of the gold chain. The Germans called out " Police I" and " Mur der I" in the best English they could command, and Skip per, a police constable, 136 H, and several persons mus tered while the Germans were stating what had happened, through the medium of an interpeter among the crowd. The prisoner ran out of Glasshouse-street, a narrow court, and said, " What is the matter ?" The prisoner imme diately pointed him out as the thief; and he was secured. The part of the gold chain missing was - valued at £5. The prisoner had altered his dress since Saturday night, putting his own coat, or blue smock, under another coat, but he was clearly identified. Theodore Kopven, first engineer of the Allive, confirmed the evidence of Stirr. Mr. Woolrych committed the prinner for trial at the next Old )3ailey maims. I 1. 1
