The exports to Ireland increase, and they amount this week to 4,700 quarters wheat, 4.973 barrels and 570 sacks of flour, and 6,084 quarters of Indian torn. The , exports coastwise are less than of late, and merely comprise 1,161' quarters wheat, 1,881 barrels and 379 sacks of flour, 716 quarters beasts, and small quantities of Bar ley, Indian corn, and oatmeal. Our Corn Exchange this morning was scarcely so well attended as on Friday, but a fair amount of business was transacted in wheat and flour, at an advance in price of Id to 2d per bushel on the former, and 6d to,ls per barrel,. and Is per sack, on flour, on last Tuesday's rates. Indian eorn is scarce ; yellow improved in price, and white receded. Good American yellow corn is the favourite article, and commands 3.)s per 4801bs. Oats, barley, beans, and peas were very little dealt in, and no alteration of value. „.;., CORK, APRIL 19. Barrels.

In the day there will be military rejoicings in the Champs de Mars, and they will be followed by an immense display of fireworks,' got up by the artillery, on the heights of Chaillot. Afterwards there will be a ball at the Ecole Militaire. The French Government has received from the officer in command of the naval station of Brazil and La Plata dispatches to the sth of March. At that date Admiral LE P&EDOUR . had just placed on board ship for :France the expeditionary troops, whose pre sence was no longer required in that part of * world. The report of the Admiral speaks in 'histb terms of the conduct of the 'marines and crewa•Updr his command. Landed, at Buenos Ayers after the battle WWl' _terminated the war, and at a moment when the city was overrun by bands of armed men, they contributed powerfully to maintain order and protect property.

' A letter from Frankforestates that French agents are now employed in visiting different parts of Ger many to collect information as to the soldiers who served in the Imperial armies, the obj ct being to present reward's to all - those who rendered services to the Empire.

REYNOSO Minister of Public Woiks, bad re turnedjourney to Avila and Salto:alums ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. I Martini, Donizetti's celebrated opera, was brought forward last night with brilliant success. The drama is a lyrical version of Corneille's celebrated tragedy of Polyeuete, founded on the persecution of the Christians ander the Roman empire. The scene is laid in the ca pital of the Roman province of A.rminia, of which Felix is governor. His daughter Pauline is the wife of Po lyutus, a noble Romeo, who has secretly embraced the Christian faith. Polyutus and his fellow Christians are in the cuatem of pursuing the rites of their religion in the subterranean catacombs of the city. One of them, the nearest friend of Polyutus, is discovered to be a Christian, and to have converted a Roman to his faith. Though exposed to torture, he refuses to divulge the name of his convert, on which Polyutus publicly declares himself the friend and convert of Nearchus, and shares his doom. Pauline, hitherto ignorant of her husband's religion, and holding it in horror, visits him in his prison, and, being herself converted, becomes along with him and his friends a martyr to the faith, being thrown to wild beasts in the public amphitheatre. The first two acts of the opera are somewhat heavy, yet the ensemble was unquestionably most brilliant. The opening scene is in the catacombs, in which the Chris tians are - assembled for devotion. The hymn sung by them in unison is plain, simple, and solemn. Pauline, attended by a number of Roman ladies, comes to the same place to perform some religious rites at the tomb of her mother. They sing a hymn to Proserpine, the light character of which is well contrasted with the Music of the Christians. Pauline, left alone by the tomb, sings an invocation to her mother's spirit, an air of greet beauty arid expression. In this air, Mdme. Julienne, the new prima donna, made her first impression on the audience, which went on increasing to the end of the opera. This lady, who is from the Grand Opera of Peas, is young and pleasing in appearance. Her Voice is a high and powerful soprano, very clear, and somewhat French in its quality and formatioe. She seinetimes Overstrains it, when it becomes Leo piercing; but it is a fine organ. and she possesses brilliant and finished_ exe cution; with great energy and passion. While Pauline remains by the tomb, she hears the Christian hymn at a distance, and 'is about to fly in terror, when her husband and the Christians enter, and she discovers with grief and horror that he belongs to the hated sect. The situation firms the finale to the first set, which is written with great breadth, vigour, and energy of instrumentation. In the second act, the pro eonsul Severus makes his triumphal entry, one of the most splendid end beautiful pageants we have ever seen upon rho stage, en which, as it seemed, the whole re • sources ot this great :establishment were exhausted. Troops, priests, lictors, musicians. filed past in endless succession, in the midst of multitudes of spectators; the costumes of every class being admirably a e ptopriate. Dien there was a ballet for the entertainment of the dignitary. The music of the second ect is not in a very happy vein. A passionate scene between ,Pauline and Severus, which opens the third act, forms a duet which contains many beauties, and was very finely given by Mdlle. Julienne - and Ronconi, whose whole performance of the character of Severus was worthy of his high re putation. Still finer is the subsequent, scene between Pauline and her husband. The air sung ,by Tamberlik in this scene, "Supremo oggetto," is exquisitely tender, and deliciously accompanied by two violoncellos and the soft wind instruments. In the next scene, when Polyutus resolves to devote himself to death for the sake of his friend, the air " Si audronel loro tempio," was sung will astonishing energy, and received with reiterated Reda• mations from all parts of the house. The prison scene between the husband and wife in the last act con tains several beauties both of melody and expression At the fall of the curtain Madlle. Jullienne, Tamberlik; and Ronconi were obliged to re•appear, accompanied by Signor Stigelli, whose careful and correct execution of the music altottedto the secondary, but not unimportant part of Nearco, was of great consequence to the general effect. Mr. Cots was then unanimousiy summoned be- fore the curtain. In the fourth act the great duet bee t w een Pauline and Poliutus renewed the enthusiasm of the house. The last movement, ". 0 manta melodia," was 'sung by both artists with extraordinary energy, and the sustained and reiterated high notes in the cadence gave a wonderful brilliancy to the climax. Not content with encoring the movement, the audience compelled Signor "Tamberlik and Madame Julienne to come forward once again after the repetition. Mademoiselle Joanna Wagner has arrived, and will, we are informed, make her first appearance on Saturday, in the Prophets, with Signor Mario. -_ex-taeTtsehinietetpneptnr,RodadenduUdcwißtihiatnehYpcol:mißoAperlmeeNtthanejboe've performance, both itlsh:iaEdseiAr/,iehogTe, regards t st ( i t ho v en eni w ng, vocal as and instrumental departments, most creditable to the 'resources of the-establishment.

The 'majority of the Council was said to be unfavourable to the views of the French Cabinet on the question, but no positive decision had been adopted. Asa train was sir days ago proceeding by the rail. way from Aranjuez to Madrid, a man on horseback, to show his skill, amused himself in crossing and re•crossing the line; but, at length the locomotive struck him and the horse, and caused the death of both.

Colonel MEIxNER, Bavarian plenipotentiary, replied to the discourse of the Minister; he expressed a wish that Austria should be admitted to participate in the deliberations of the Congress, through the organ of a plenipotentiary; but he indicated no precise period for that admission." The criminal prosecution against the mother and sisters of KOSSUTH has been stopped. They have re ceived authority 'to proceed to America. Count Bum, has entered on the duties of his office. It is believed that an organic law will shortly be pro mulgated, dispensing for the future with the office of President of the Council. The rt-establishment of diplomatic relations be tween Prussia and Wurtemburg, may now be consi dered as a matter of fact. The respective ambassa dors will be shortly appointed. The reports of the projected marriage between the Emperor of AUSTRIA and .the Princess SIDONTA of Saxony continue to gain ground. It is asserted that the espousal will take place during the approaching journey of the EMPEROR to Prague. The EMPEROR will accompany the Royal family of Saxony on their return to Dresden. BELGIUM. The works for the fortifications ordered by the Belgian Government at la Fete de Flandres, near Antwerp, were to have commenced on Friday ; but the men, dissatisfied with the wages offered them, re fused to labour. Having obtained possession of the sheds erected for them, they declared they would not give them up. On Saturday two companies of Light Infantry were ordered out. They loaded their arms in , presence of the men; and then drove them from the sheds. About 300 of the .men subsequently proceeded to Antwerp, wlaere they formed themselves into a procession, and paraded the streets singing " Malbrouck." At length they peaceably dispersed.

In case of ''pursuit, they intend taking refuge in the regions of the Ledjah, which are considered impreg nable. MUSTAPHA PACIIA, who had come for the purpose of recruiting, finding the birds flown, has nevertheless had the names drawn as usual, and has sept the uniforms to the families of all the fugitives, with an intimation that, if they do not return within three months, they will be considered as deserters. It is now believed that those whose names have not been drawn will leave their place of refuge and return. COURT CIRCULAR.

SPORTING NOTES. No. CCIX. THE YORK RACING, WITH A GLANCE AT THE TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--Th e first day of the York Meeting gave the sporting community some as pretty specimens of fine finishing as have ever been witnessed. The Craven Stakes watt a small coup for the fielders, as Iris, on whom they laid 5 to 4, turned round at the moment the flag was lowered, thereby losing many lengths which she was not able to make up, and consequently finished a bad third to Radulphus, who beat Lady Agnes by a short neck. The ZAland Stakes produced one of the finest races that has ever been seen, as the Queen, Lanibton, and Grapeshot laid c l ose together the whole of the distance, the first named W i nn i ng . eventually from Grapeshot by a bead, the same distance dividing the second from Lembton ; Strait Jacket was beaten off. I think it will be found in future races that the Queen is much the best of the lot, and that it'was owing more to fine riding on the part of Marson and Osborne on the second and third horses that they finished so close to her Majesty. The Flying Dutchman's Handicap attracted to the post a much larger field than was expected ; the race was virtually, however, reduced to a match between Voltigeur and Haricot ; there was, nothing else stood the slightest chance after a fourth of the dis tance had been traversed. I am confident that my selection, Haricot, ought to have been the winner, and that it was - only the artistic joekeyship of .Marson on Voltigeur that enabled the Derby winner to beat the mare by the shortest of heads. Lucie', who was much fancied .in . town, finished a bad third, with that nomiettl-anitall-Knoek-Knoll, a woree-faurthr the - rest-of the field were in a bundle together, with that mysterious colter, Cyclops, bringing up the rear. Croupier won the Champagne Handicap from Sir- Charles Napier cleverly; and, by Miss White beating The Setter'and Co. for the Selling Stakes, ended the first days's racing at York. The betting on the Knavesmire was remarkable for the jack-in-the- box sort of movements of Augur, who was popping up and down at odds ranging from 13 to 18 to 1, leaving off at 16 to 1. Nancy was in con siderable request with her admirers in the north, and backers of the stable only; they took the few twenties that could be got, and afterwards offered to take eighteens. _ As I intend to devote to-morrow and the following day to an analysis of the Chester Cup, my remarks on the Newmarket Spring Meeting, except those on Monday's races, will not be published this week; therefore I will take the present opportunity of dropping a few hints on the TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. • Those horses that are certain non-starters are corn prised in the following list :—Hugo, The Prophet. Magnes, Srtlntiooedexmnkebb;Ldnandetri,nech )Berry -go-round, Fellow.eect a r oa r dn y s. et " e g lTer o chb ; tui r s o r:ty u vrrhh c si d e md , t fijA, D ee i b l a b n a in e gelding, gnt o d e , 1 av erh Houlakin,o u e c d o leavesl and by ' m 8 e afourteenwinner.ne and Fisher,Bhol ar Black stone, keo f Newmarket has G n r w e oh y ri l l e en g ot;ot hsitsa whetherrcthahn ce o n f fo e ry l nt hnAtngseoivnse event out i cannot ll think it say; worth but hisru of po.sibility. The Wizard of the North, John S cot t, will bring a Daniel, aye, a second Daniel, to judgm ent; and if my judgment does not materi a ll y mislead nieMr Bowes's chesnut son of Birdcatcher and Forget-me-not will stand but little chance of being beaten. Day is uncommonly strong in the Guineas this year, having no less then five of the nominations i n training, namely—Vortex. Geleon, Father Thames, Filing, and Stapleton. Which is to represent the stable the gods only know. Sir R. Pigot will be sure to start one of his, which, as Filius is under a cloud, will pro bably be Father Thames; the hoary mariner can have but little chance of winning. Stapleton's running I doubt, and Geleon's likewise, so it will be seen that my ideas lead me to the conclusion that the short-worked Vortex will be the representative of the stable on the occasion. Vortex, it is reported, will do tolerably well for the mile ; they said the same of Cony ngham some five years back, and as they were right then they may be so now with Vortex. Lord Exeter's couple, Stockwell and Ambrose, the former an interior horse, and the latter not up to the mark, will, of course, be nowhere in the race. I have no penchant whatever for the present favorite, Maidstone, not with. standing he is backed by the judgment of W. Butler and Captain Roils. It is said that on Tuesday next we are to have the first peep at the mysterious -wonder of Peck's stable, Womereley. I, however, entertain doubts of his putting in a n appearance, so shall for the present defer giving an opinion on bis chance. Lord Ribblesdale's Lapidist, under the guidance of Nat, will make another essay over the Rowley Mile, with probably much the same result as last week. Kent, it is rumoured, will have both Homebrewed and Houlakin at Newmarket; the former however will be the runner ; and as he has been proved in private to be very fast for a mile and under, he may perchance run forward on the pre sent occasion, though I scarcely anticipate seeing him the winner. Last, but not least, we come to Hobbits Noble, the flying son of Pantaloon e who for some eight or ten days past the public have imagined will start for the Guineas; I believe, however, that as the ground is likely to be in as hard a condition next week as it was last, they will not risk a break down or spoil his chance on the Downs of Epsom by running him here. If he runs, of course he wins! It will be seen by the remarks I have made, that is the absence of the Noble •Hobbie, DANIEL O'ROURKE is my champion, and that the leading horses in his rear will be Homebrewed, Vortex, Lapidist, and Maidstone. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. P.S. Redmond O'Hanlon's victory at the Curragh over a large field, including Barbarian (the favourite at small odds), was so easily accomplished that his Chester Cup chance must be considered one of a very superior kind.

The first sod was cut by Mr. W. 0. Gore, M, P., at Hereford, on the 10th of January, 1851. The remainder of the line, from Ludlow to Here ford, will be ready for traffic this time next year. The ' Government Inspector pat-sed over the line on Wednes day last, and certified it to be suitable for opening. At elev.-n o'clock an express train, decorated with appro pri,te flags, banners, &c., and containing the directors and a select circle of friends, left the former station for Ludlow. On passing the several stations on the line crowds of rustics cheerel the excursionists; and when the train arrived at Ludlow the directors were met by th 6 corporation of the borough, and thousands of anxious spectators were present. After the usual courtesies had been exchanged between the corporation and the directors, a procession was formed, and, preceded by a band, it pro ceeded to the town-hall; where an elegant dijetiner was provided at the expense of Mr, Brassey, and of which the directors and their invited guests partook. A grand ball took place in the evening under the patronage of the Earl of Powis and several other noblemen and g.-ntlemen.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Europa's dates are to the 7th inst., from which is appears that the firmness of the New York cotton market was not at all diminished by advitea hence of the 24th March, nor that of New Orleans by weounts of the 20th, although both reported a declining tendency in Manchester, with a corres ponding dullness in Liverpool. The receipts at the ports had realiied 2,341,393, being 455,983 beyond those of the same time last year; and the receipts of the week were 88,486 bales, or more than double those of the corresponding week in 1851. These receipts caused opinion on the other side still to tend to the largest estimates. These ac counts have contributed to strengthen the persuasion which has latterly gained ground on tbis side the At lantic, that the large import we must shortly have is not likely to produce anyth ng beyond a small and very tem porary depression of price s, p erha p s not even that—a 4 o o f o th h e al t e o s tal th stockah it i p n e r L s u i v a e s r i P n oo f l o , was a year ago—on the very inferior q u ality of u w nd h e ic d h on is tn l e ess alli b a y lin 2o2 B , that stock—and on the probebility that the spin ners will be led by their want of a better RB. sortment to meet the arrivals with a freedom which must counteract the effect they would otherwise produce .on prices.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our manufacturers du rine the last few days have exp.riiineod e. more active demand for their good*, and prices are somewhat better. It is to be hoped, —now that some of the houses have suspended who fur some time past had bees making forced sales at great loeses—that we may have a progressive improvement as the season advances. At present the make of goods is on a diminished scale, and stocks are understood to be light, The strike of Messrs. Brocklehurst's inside hand-loom weavers against the outside weavers of that firm continues, with no probability of termination at present, in consequence of the latter body not giving countenance to the opera tive local board of trade. The Macclesfield manufac turers have found from three years' experience that they could not continue to maintain fixed prices for weaving, and at the same time meet manufacturers of other towns in the market. They have therefore re linquished their support to the board. A large meeting of the weavers was held last evening, which was of a very abusive and personal character towards the firm abovenamed. Thrown Silks—The demand for this ar ticle is a little improved, more especially for sorts ' suitable for continental purposes. The throwsters are moderately supplied with work.

Mr. Benson, as the Mock Duke, evinced an exceedingly rich vein of humour, and without overdoing the thing made his character be aut if ully ridiculous; and Mr. Percival, as Ro lando, was also very good. The other characters were well sustained, and the audience, a highly respectable one, mani fested their approbation by liberal, though by no means in 4iscrimate or undeserved applause.
