MARKET AND COMMER,OI. aL r 3 EI, i. c Net, TWELVE o'CLocK. The directors of the Bank of England have held their weekly court, and, as expected, have not made any alteration in their minimum rate of discount. The Money Market continues easy at previous rates. The sum of £20,000 in sovereigns was w ithdrawn from the Bank yesterday, for transmission to Alex andria. The City of London has arrived from New York with specie to the amount of £25,200, and the Allemania with £28,880. Application has been made to the Court of Chan cery for the winding-up of the Bank of Hindustan, China, and Japan. An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders o the General Credit and Finance Company of Loaf don has been convened, for the puipose of consider ing a proposal to reduce the liability and the amount of the shares, which will not involve any fresh call, and will provide for reservation and payment of a dividend of 6s. per share, including the 2s. already distributed, payable 31st December. At the meeting held to-day of the shareholders of the London and South African Bank a dividend, after carrying £5,000 to the amount held against previous losses, of Bs. per share was unanimously adopted. It is stated that the Committee of Confederate Bondholders are actively engaged in bringing their claims to the attention of Government with a view to the consideration of them as against those of the American Government in relation to the Alabama and other claims. We are requested to insert the following com munication : " The Eastern Assam Tea Company (Limited). " London, Nov. 13, 1866. "To the Shareholders of the Eastern Assam Tea Company (Limited). "Gentlemen,—With reference to the report of the com mittee of investigation, to be presented to the meeting of s hareholders of the company this day, at 2 o'clock, I beg to state, on behalf of myself and co-vendors, that I only received a copy of the report yesterday morning, and that it is impossible the vendors could reply in one day to what Las taken the committee three weeks to draw up, but that a reply will be prepared and submitted to the shareholders with all possible despatch. "All the vendors need state at present is that the re- Port of the committee is a tissue of misrepresentations, M isquotations, and of gross calumnies, which the vendors will be able to refute in the most complete and satisfactory manner. "The vendors will show that they have fulfilled their contract fully, fairly, and honourably, and that the gardens are all that they were represented to be.—l am, Gentle- Men, your most obedient servant, " a R.

Snt,—lt is very much to be regretted that a beneficent, and most valuable agent like chloroform should be over and again getting into disrepute amongst the public from mismanagement in its application, and the curious subjec tive dreams it gives rise to in the patient's system—dreams of force and violence that have little or no existence but as dreams, but which so often mislead both judge and jury ! With a very large experience of some ten thousand per sons operated on under chloroform, I would say that its action is always very transitory, that it never leaves per manent bad results - but rather that on the contrary, as in many instances of such diseases as some forms of dropsy, cancer, aneurism, blindness, &c., all hitherto considered incurable, the permanent results of late have bun so good as to astonish patient and surgeon alike.—Yours Sackville-street, N ov. 15. CHARLES KIDD M.D. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND AND THE BEGGARS.—Mary Jukes, 9, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. The Marquis Townshend said that about 11 o'cl•)ck last night ho saw the little girl leading about a blind man to every public-house in King-street, Bury-street, and tho neighbourhood, and saw her bog and receive money from different persons, and being anxious to stop the practice of children leading about persons for the purpose of begging, he had caused her to be brought to the court. The girl's father was also begging, and he (the Marquis) might have charged him with begging also, but his object was that which he had stated. At the station the father admitted that about a fortnight ago he was taken to the Westminster Police Court, and informed that if he was taken there again his daughter would be taken from him. Campbell, 209 C, proved taking the girl into custody. Mr. Knox remanded the girl, and told the constable to make inquiries into her history. In the meantime the girl would be sent to the workhouse. John Cranney, 11, and Thomas Cranney, 8, brothers, were charged with begging, both being in a most deplor able state. Sergeant Bunco, 5 0, said that yesterday afternoon he saw the boys, and some others, begging in St. Martin's place, and, having seen them receive money from different gentlemen, he took them into custody. As the boys stated that they lived in Bedfordbury he went there and made inquiries, and ascertained that their father was dead and that their mother was a crossing-sweeper. They had a brother in the reformatory at Walthamstow. The boys had scarcely any home, the place being in a deplorable con dition. A man, who said ho was the boys' stepfather, said he coed do nothing with them. • In answer to Mr. Knox it was said that the boys were Roman Catholics. Mr. Knox said his hands were tied with regard to Roman Catholic children, there being no place for them at present He understood that about Christmas there would bo a place where they could be sent to. Welsh, the office-keeper, drew the magistrate's attention to the fact, that the toes of one of the boys were nearly off, appearing to have been rotten off. Mr. Knox said he would remand the boys for the pre sent, and he would try and see whether they could not be sent to Feltham. Be thought that the best course that he could adopt, as it would give the boy an opportunity of having his foot attended to. The gaoler of the court would give them a good meal. John Alexander, another boy, was charged with begging in Tottenham-court-road. The case was proved by Stoker, 744 A. The.boy's fathor said he sent him out because they were driven for a loaf of bread, and the boy went out to get a few halfpence. He gave his boy some matches to sell. Mr. Knox said that formerly persons used to send their children out to beg, giving them a few small things, such as matches, and the children escaped. Last session an act of Parliament was passed putting atiend to the thing, and now whether the children were selling things or not they were equally liable, though perhaps it was not gene rally known. The constable must make inquiries into the father's and the boy's testimony, and report the result next week. In the meantime the boy would go to the work house. Uam.

EXTANSEVE ROBBERY BY A. SERVANT.—Edward Bull, 36, and Charles Sturgess. 46, were charged with stealing a large quantity of ironmongery and other property from the premises of Mr. Samuel Bradney, ironmonger, of 16, New road, St. George-in-the-East. Bull was described as a warehouseman, of 6, James-street, Old Ford-road, Bow and Sturgess as a tarpaulin-maker, of 107, Pennington street, Ratcliff Highway. Yesterday evening, in consequence of instructions from Inspector Deady, of the H division, John Chester, 123 H, watched the premises of Mr. Bradney, and saw the pri soner Sturgess come out with a new zinc pail containing rubbish. Tho prisoner carried the pail and rubbish on his arm as far as Pennington-street, when Ches ter accosted him, and said to him, " What have you there ? To which he replied, " Only a little rubbish." H e took the prisoner into custody, and after locking him up went to Bull's dwelling, and there found a set of fire irons, smaller hinges, bolts, chisels, and other articles which the constable said wore too numerous to mention. The whole of the . goods were identified by Mr. Bradney. The pri soners, in their defence, said it had been the custom to remove the dust and rubbish from the prpsecutor's house and premises in pails and baskets, to which Mr. Bradney gave a decided negative. The pail was a new one, and worth 2s. 9d. Bull said he had nothing to say about the property found in his house. The Prisoners were committed for trial.

According to arrangements entered into some time since by the authorities, but not very generally made known beforehand to the public at large, this noble and beautiful memorial to Sir John Franklin and his gallant associates in the most famous of all our Arctic Expeditions, was this afternoon formally unveiled and inaugurated. And, for once in a way, we have now at last had displayed to view in the public streets of the metropolis A National Monu ment that may be pronounced to be in every es sential respect, perfectly satisfactory. It is a Monu ment that—to begin with—has been erected solely and wholcly at the expense of the Nation, and in the name of the Government—and this in obedience to au unanimous vote of the Imperial Parliament. It is—besides this—well-placed so far as its actual site is concerned, though it would perhaps have been better if the back, no less than the front and sides of the monument, could have been inspected from the pavement of the splendid thoroughfare it adorns. It is, moreover, exquisitely designed and admirably well executed—the whole work as a work of art being not only complete in itself, but most harmoniously proportioned. The responsibility of designing this monument to Sir John Franklin, it may be remembered, was entrusted to Mr. Matthew Noble, the eminent sculptor, of Bruton-street, Mayfair, and this in accordance with the judi cious• selection of the then First Commissioner of Public Works —Woods and Forests as they used to be called, Parks and Palaces as they are termed now—the Right Hon. William Cowper. The Statue itself, which is of enduring bronze—being, moreover, an admirably conceived effigy no less than eight feet four inches in height—was cast at the foundry of the Messrs. Harrison and Cotam —the substantial pedestal upon which it has been erected being formed of a no less enduring ma terial, namely; of polished granite, from the works of the Messrs. Macdonald and Field. The evident notion of the sculptor, in designing this vera e f figies of Sir John Franklin, is this —The moment selected for representation is the one in which Franklin bad (as he is now known for certainty to have had !) the immense and indescrib able satisfaction of announcing•to his officers and men—(though not one amongst them, alas ! was ever enabled to announce the same fact to the nation they one and all of them had served so well)—that the North-west passage had at last been discovered ! He is seen gra sping in his band—t e l escope c h ar t, an d compass ! He is arrayed, of course, in the uniform of a Naval Commander. But over the true blue he wears a loose outer -coat of fur, as a protec tion against the extreme inclemency of the Arctic climate. Having decided thus as to the fittest moment of all that he should select, the artist's endeavour has clearly been —and it is an object that he has accomplished with a truly surprising success, and one upon which he may be very heartily con gratulated—not only to indicate the character of Franklin in the statue itself, in its general aspect and demeanour, but to indicate, also, that is to say so far as is in any way possible by outward form, those inner qualities of the mind which enabled Sir John, by his deeds in life and by his example of heroic endurance in death, to add (as he has added) to the fame and glory of his country. The likeness is pro nounced—by the best authority of all, in regard to its accuracy, that is, by Lady Franklin herself, and by others who were no less intimately acquainted with her dauntless husband—to be not only excel lent in its literal truthfulness of feature, but won derfully characteristic as well in the subtler expres sion of the countenance no less than in the general deportment. The bas-relief adorning the front of dm pedestal is profoundly affecting in both theme and treatment. It represents the Funeral of Sir John Franklin—at which the Burial Service was read over that glori ous seaman's coffin by his brave second in command over the Expedition, Captain Crozier—thenceforth, of course, until his own lamented death, the head of it, as Sir John's natural successor. Crozier, swathed in furs, stands there surrounded by the other surviving officers and men of the two ill fated ships, the Erebus and die Terror. And gazing upon the group, there comes to our memory, that thought from Campbell's " Hohenlinden," that— there and then—each of them might have said of the others, could he but have had any prescience at all of the dreadful future before them— " 'None ' shall part where many meet, The snow shall be their winding-sheet, And every clod' beneath their feet Shall be a sepulchre." For—not one ou t o f t h e i r w h o l e n umber, as is well known, was t o surv i ve, was ever fated to return ! Happily —now th a t t hi s b eau tif u l monument has been completed—th e i r names, th e names of every one among them—the huMblest tar and even the poor little ship s ' boys—are now, together with the famous name of th e i r h ero i c Chief, recorded on the granite side s o f t h e pe d es t a l of this Memorial Monument to Sir John Franklin—and themselves !

At the back of the pedestal —only capable of exami nation, unfortunately, from the garden of the Athe neum Club House—the adornment consists of an embossed bronze chart of the Arctic Regions—re cording, among other names, those of Al‘Clintock's Channel, of Victoria Straits and of Prince showing at a si ng l e g l ance , i n position of the two ships f A a l c b t e , rt' t s he Lai a a c d t — ual and of their crews at the time of Franklin's death. Beneath the affecting bas-ielief in front—the character of which has already been defined, and the beauty of which cannot be too highly com mended—appears the folio wing brief but most touch ing and impressive inscription : FRANKLIN. To the Great Arctic Navigator, And his Brave Companions, Who Sacrificed their Lives in Completing The Discovery of the North-West Passage, A.D. 1847. Erected by the unanimous vote of Parliament. It should be yet further remarked that the pedestal is adorned in two other ways not yet particularized— having aroundthe cornice a representation in bronze of a large cable indicative of the memorial being one commemorative of a Sailor—while the bronze mould ing at the plinth is enriched with a twining garland of oak-leaves and acorns, denoting by the laws of symbolism both strength and magnanimity. The Memorial, as will now be seen, therefore is complete in the fullness of its significance. It is the finished epitome—in bronze and granite—of a whole adven turous and heroic life. It is a fitting commemora tion of a glorious expedition undertaken for the advancement of human knowledge—the record of a nation's gratitude to the memory of those by whose valour and endurance was successfully carried out a fatal but triumphant enterprise. The one name, the one memory naturally dominating over all others being, as a matter of course, that of Sir John Franklin, the glorious leader of the Expedition. About half-past two Sir J. Pakington, First Lord of the Admiralty, quitted the Athenaeum Club arm in arm with Sir Roderick Murchison, the Presideut of the Geographi cal Society, and proceeded to the foot of the statue, a great number of officers in the navy, members of the learned societies, and literary and scientific gentlemen folliwing in procession. Amongst those present wo obseived Ad miral (Nemesis) Hall, Admiral Ommaney, Admiral Collin son, Capt. Hobson, Capt. Sherard Osborne, Capt. Robinson, Count Strelikzi, the Archbishop of York, M. du Chaffin, Professor Ramsey, Dr. Pusoy, the Rev, Richard Collin son, General Sabine, president of the society ; Sir H. Rawlinson, Mr. Ayrton, M.P., Captain Richards, hydro graphar to the Admiralty ; Gen. Balfour, J. Craufurd,Esq., Matthew Noble, Esq., the sculptor ; Charles Sent, Esq., John Murray, Esq., T. H. Brooking, Esq., Cotam, Esq., &c. There were also in attendance a number of stout., hearty-looking seamen, wearing the Arctic medal, who seemed to take the deepest interest in the proceedings- Lady Franklin and a very largo number of ladies wit nessed the interesting ceremony from the balcony of the Athenaeum Club House. Sir R. Mußcuisox said he had been desired, as Presi dent of the Royal Geographical Society, to request the most fitting person, viz., the first Lord of the Admiralty, Sir John Pakington, to inaugurate the statud raised to perpetuate the memory of that distinguished and most eminent man, Sir John Franklin. The right honour able baronet had most kindly and most wil lingly undertaken the duty ; and he therefore called upon the agent of Mr. Noble, the sculptor, to re move the covering that at that moment enveloped the statue. This having been done almost simultaneously, and fol lowed by loud cheers, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said, after what had fallen from Sir Roderick Murchison, he should occupy their attention for a few minutes. His distinguished and excellent friend informed them that he had undertaken the duty at the earnest request of the Royal Geographi cal Society, but when he looked around and saw so many distinguished persons present the feeling in his mind was that the most fitting person to have performed the duty was Si R. Murchison, but it being the desire that the First Lord of the Admiralty should undertake the matter he accepted the task, and in doing so it afforded him the greatest happiness, because he looked upon their interesting proceedings that day as the completion of a noble work which had been begun by the Parliament of England. By taking part in the inau guration of the statue he felt he spoke the sentiments of all present when be stated that he did so with the most profound respect for the widow of one who bad won the admiration of his country, and to whose exertions was mainly owing the success which had ultimately crowned the labour of others. He need not detain them with a de tailed description of the statue ; it was now open to public gaze; but he did think it would be well if he just briefly referred to the career of the late Sir John Franklin, an officer who had served his country well for nearly half a century, and whose life had been one of incessant work for the honour and glory of his country. The late distinguished officer entered the navy as a boy. He fought under the great and illustrious naval commander Nelson at Copenhagen, and afterwards, actuated by the most noble desire, he joined the exploring party to the coast of New Holland. In 1818 he made the first Arctic voyage. In 1819 he again left his native home, but on this occasion ho went as leader, and, accompanied by Richardson, he performed his second Arctic voyage. He did not:return till the year 1822,but then he came back with great success. In 1823 we find him again leaving England, and for t wo years he was absent,:following up the great discoveries he had made in his preceding voyage. On his return he undertook some administrative duties ashore, and he remained so occupied until the year 1817:4 when released from his civil duties he embarked on his last and ill-fated expedition. He left his native country, to which it was never his fate to return, but, like his once illustrious commander, the great Nelson, he perished in the hour of victory. (Loud cheering.) Tho name of Franklin would always be associated with those of Davis, cf Baffin, of Back Parry, and Belcher, not forgettingM'Lintock and Maclure. He hoped that day's pro ceedings would be a consolation to that illustrious widow, be cause in that statue was recorded a nation's gratitude, that would remain to perpetuate his fame for ages yet to come, and that the name of Franklin would be enshrined among those great heroes of whose glory and whose fame England was justly proud. (Loud cheers.) Sir R. Mt ncillsoN said, in the name of those present he had to thank the First Lord of the Admiralty for his at tendance that day. He must feel, he was sure, the greatest pleasure at seeing so many distinguished persons around him. There was General Sabine, who sailed with Parry in his first glorious expedition ; there was Capt. Sherard Osborne, and others whose fame would add a lustre to the annals of their country. It would doubtless be asked to whom was the artist indebted for the design of a por tion of the monument, namely, the funeral ? lle would tell them. Repeated unsuccessful search had been made after the missing expedition, until at last the Government fal tered, and all, with the exception of about a dozen or two brave men, some whom he saw around him—(cheers) — thought further search hopeless. Not so that model of her sex and all good wives, Lady Franklin. (Cheers.) She spent a fortune in her endeavours to ascertain the fate of her husband. She fitted out the Fox, Captain, now Sir Leopold, M'Clintock took the command, and by that expe dition was the records found which stated that SirJ. Frank lin had been buried with naval honour; and various other matters which for ever set at rest the fate of the expedi tion. For that melancholy intelligence they were indebted to that excellent and warm-hearted woman, Lady Franklin. (Cheers.) That lady had told him (Sir R. Murchison) how grateful she was for the sympathy which had been shown in her behalf, but she also stated that she should never feel completely happy until the whole of the crow of the little Fox had been rewarded and a statue raised in honour of her husband. That wish had that day been fulfilled. (Cheers.) Some difference of opinion might exist with respect to the sits chosen for the statue. He was one who thought that the proper place for the monument erected to one who had fought at Copenhagen and Irafalgar under the immortal Nelson was near the column of the great commander in Trafalgar square—(cheers)—others thought the centre of the space on which they were now assembled was the most appro priate spot. If they found it necessary to remove it to the latter, he hoped it would be regarded as the link or bond of union between the men of letters on the one side, and the men of the army and navy on the other, of which Sir John Franklin, during his life, was a distinguished xember. Their work was now done, and all he wished those before him to do was to give three hearty cheers for Lady Franklin. The invitation of the distinguished speaker was instantly complied with. and three of the heartiest and loudest cheers were given with the greatest enthusiasm.. Cheers were then given for Sir JOhn Pakington and Sir Roderick Murchison, after which the assemblage dispersed. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE.

GRAND OPERA.—There has been seldom seen at the French opera in modern times a more brilliant assembly than crowded every part of the house on Monday night. It was the solemn festival of the year, the first performance—not of a new opera by Verdi—but of a new ballet. Even in Italy, at the commencement of the ballet, the thousand tongues whose cackle has accompanied the strains of " Norma," or the " Traviata," was hushed, and it is with ears as well as eyes that this poem in motion is devoured. The imprudent barbarian who should utter a word during the performance of the pas sod or the pas de deux, which is the triumph of the chorographic art, would be silenced with a unani mous Chutl—the French pronunciation of " Shut up"—happy if he were not unceremoniously hustled to the door. In Italy one accounts for this by say ing to oneself that the nation is naturally so musi cal, that it was be allowed to repose its ears by throwing for a time all its soul into its eyes. But in France it is not necessary to have recourse to so fine-spun an argument. Here music, in the higher sense of the word, is the stranger, received with all that refined cordiality for which France is famous, but the ballet is indigenous. We have the music and librettos of the ballets in which the Great Monarch himself delighted to display his graces as Phoebus or Alexander, and Royal High nesses with ladies of the highest rank felt themselves honoured in appearing on the same boards with the Sultan of the age. Lulli's strains were sweet, but Louis's dancing, so tender, so majestic, so graceful, so awe-inspiring, touched every heart, and per suaded the most sceptical understanding. Poor Nero might be alive now, so far as his enemies are concerned, if, instead of fiddling and singing, he had only learned to dance so convincingly. The poetry of motion has saving graces, which, as he learned to his cost, the poetry of sound whether written or sung has not, for one cannot believe that his lyre was ill-attuned, and the only line that remains of his poetry describes the changing colours of a dove's neck with a truthful elegance which no descriptive lines in any language have equalled. Louis danced, and his dancing was such that the applause of his admiring subjects still rings in the ears of their descendants, and they have learned from it to appreciate the truly beautiful. No wonder, then, that the first appearance of the " Source" attracted on Monday night to the Academy of Music all those who love good dancing and fine scenery. May they never be fewer ! The house was crammed ; as splendid an assemblage as the dia monds and bright silks and darkened eyes and volu minous chignons of the fair sex could make it, heightened perhaps by the black mass to which the hideous costume of the day condemns the uglier sex who fill the orchestra and pit. An act of Rossini's charming opera of the " Comte Ory" was performed with the slovenliness which the constant opening cif doors and taking of places and the impatience of the audience authorised. There was a long pause ; at length music was heard with its voluptuous swell, there was a sound of subsiding into seats. The gene ral rustle which precedes silence, and all nature was hushed as the prelude or overture ended, and the curtain drew up. It is now that the part of the chronicler becomes difficult. A long description is necessary to explain the complicated gyrations of the story for those who are not so fortunate as to have any hope of ever seeing the " Source," and a still longer one for those who, going to see it, wish to know what it all means. There may be some to whom it is quite indifferent. The first scene is a mountain pass, a luxuriant vegetation springs among the creeper-covered rocks from which a silver stream pours down. There is poetry in the picture, half- shrouded as it is by the morn ing twilight, and there was justice in the ap plause which greeted it. Elves and fairies and goblins dance round the stream, whose waters give life to the scone. At daybreak they disaprear and leave the world to sunshine and to man. The first who appears is Djemil, a hunter, followed by a witch, who, ignorant of Horace and Juvenal, chooses daybreak instead of midnight to gather the deadly drugs with which to poison the stream from which Djemil has just drunk. He prevents her, and she retires with humble seeming but anger in her soul, after reading his fortune in his palm. As she departs a caravan approaches; it is the now bride of a mighty Khan. They halt near the fountain for repose. A bright flower grow ing on the rock which overhangs the stream catches the bride's eye, but there is no one in her suite hardy enough to gather it. Djemil comes forward, offers to risk the ad venture, reaches the flower, seizes it, but at the same mo ment the creepers on whose withes !Pe was supported give way, and he is precipitated into the stremp. But ho is not lost, he soon reappears with the flower in his hand, rhich the bride deigns only to receive through tho hands of one of her slaves. Djemil refuses the purse offered in pay ment, with sacrilegious hand he draws aside the bride's veil, and pays himself with a glance at her charms. A fatal glance, not because he is at once seized, bound with the strong branches of the creepers, and then left t 3 die in the solitude, but because he is struck with love. The ca ravan departs, it is in vain to wrestle with the bonds, stronger than cords, which confine him, the fever-thirst of anguish assails him, but there is rescue at hand. The stream comes to his aid, its waters spread, the fountain nymph appears, she makes a sign, and ho is free—not free, but loved whore ho does not love, and love-sick without return. The grateful nymph, whose waters he had pre served from the pollution of the witch, gives him the ta lismanic flower to which her own fate is linked, and com mends him to her attendant spirits. In the second act we are in the gardens of the Khan's palace, where he and all his wives anxiously await the arrival of the new favourite. There is a little dancing to beguile the time, the Khan is impatient. At last the trumpet sounds, she approaches, ar rives, and they dance again. Another bugle. 'Tis Djemil, now a noble signor, attended by the goblin to whose care the nymph has consigned him. The slaves who follow him carry rich presents, Orient pearls, and glittering diamonds. Among them is the flower which had already attracted the bride's attention; she is joing to take it, but Djemil pre vents her. That flower is a talisman more precious than diamonds and pearls, and he proves its power by throwing toit clumpilcinitouiaryinto a of trees. On O i n n t w he h i ie n h sta th n e t t l h ov ei e r ly fol n ia y g m e p s h ee a m p- s pears. A look suffices to show the Khan that she is more beautiful than his new bride and all his old ones together. To gain her hand he consents to dismiss his whole harem. The haughty beauty and her brother take their departure, followed by the witch, who had accompanied, and who now promises to avenge them. The third act opens in her tent. Her magic charms bring Djemil to her door. The brother will now avenge her, when the cast-off bride has disarmed him—a task in which she employs herself with the alacrity of insulted vanity. She and the witch disarm him ; she brings him to her feet. At this moment the nymph reappears, to witness the ingratitude of him she had saved. The brother, with his attendants, surprises Djemil at his sister's knees, and he only does not kill him on the spot because the still tender nymph has pity. A magic torpor paralyses his assailants, and he departs, fol lowed, unconsciously, by Nouredda (the ex-brido.), whose somnambulism is of the true peripatetic sort. The last scene is in the mountain gorge in which the ballet opened, but its beauty is d e p ar t e d. Th e d anc i ng was as meritori ous as the present gynastic style will allow, and Madlie• Salvioni, the nymph, danced up to her reputation. SALE OF HER MAJESTY'S FAT OXEN PARK.—On Wednesday Messrs.
