Three important Bills relating to.lreland were, last night, introduced in the House of Commons, while the Lord Chancellor, in the House of Lords, brought forward another measure, the utility of which has long been recognised. The mischievous results of the existing leasehold tenure of lands in Ireland have been. commented on by every writer on Irish sub jects. The greater portion of the lands in that country are held under leases, for what are termed "lives renewable for ever." This tenure has proved a fertile source of litigation between the nominal landlords, who have no real reversion in the lands, and but little beneficial interest be yond the reserved rent and the tenants. The former were anxious to take advantage of any errors that might have been committed by the latter which might disentitle them to the benefit or the covenants for perpetual renewal, and this anxiety was increased_ by their legal advisers, for the cost of a suit for 'renewal generally fell upon the plaintiff, who applied for a specific performance of the agreement. The lands were neglected in the interim, neither party being willing to expend money on the improve ment of lands that might eventually turn out to be the property of others. The doubtful character of the title was thus exceedingly in jurious to all pantie:—Ao the landlord, to the tenant, and still more so to the labourin g population of the vicinity, who were d epr i ve d of the employ ment which they might otherwise reasonably have expected, and who were thus forced to look for main tenance to the poor-rates, in pl ace o f earning their own support by their honest industry. Lord C OT .. TENIIAM has, however, at length, in accordance with the recommendation of Lord DEVON'S Commi ss i on , brought forward a measure by w hi c h th e tenant will be enabled to convert these leaseholds, renewable for ever, into fee-farm grants, by securing a fair rental_to the head landlords thereout ; and there were few subjects relating to Ireland, on which legislation was more urgently required. In the House of Commons, the Premier brought forward a ßill to amend the Act s passed for the relief of the destitute poor i n Ireland. His Lordship brings forward thi s measure on the Government responsibility, and without wait• ing for the report of the Select Committee which had been appointed to inquire into the subject. We have already alluded at considerable length to the Mini sterial recommendations to that Committee, which from the " bases" of the new measure. We may, therefore, shortly state that its principal features shall be a maximum of five shillings in the pound, on each separate electoral division—that any balance is • to be provided for by a rate, not exceeding 2s. in the pound, on the entire union in which that electoral district is situated. The highest amount that can be therefore levied, even on the worst circumstanced land, will be seven shillings in the pound. Any further surplus must, of course, be provided for either by a national rate in aid or from the Consolidated Fund. There are other minor alterations which are, generally speaking, steps in the right direction. The Poor-law Commissioners are to be empowered to settle past liabilities in certain unions, so as to enable them to start fairly, without being crushed by the weight of arrears that could never be levied, and which would only have , the effect of preventing the cultivation of lands that were heavily in arrear for poor-rate. The landlord is to be empowered to deduct the proportionate amount of poor-rate that he may be required to pay from jointures and rent-charges created under family settlements. The manner in which the rate has hitherto been divided between the landlord and tenant is also to be modified, and henceforward the tenant cannot under any circumstances deduct more than one-half the rate from the landlord. And, in order to encourage improvements, no re-valuations are to take place for a period of seven years. These are the main features of the present Bill, it being intended that other provisions connected with the subject, which are at present under consideration, shall be made the objects of special legislation. By far the most important, however, of the con templated enactments is the Bill to facilitate the sale of Incumbered Estates in Ireland, which was brought forward in a most clear and lucid speech by the Solicitor-General. The Right Honourable Gentleman candidly admitted that the Act of last session had proved a complete failure, that its chief provisions had been found wholly ineffectual up to the present time. The forms of ,the various proceed ings also entailed considerable expense on the unfor- tunate proprietors, whose embarrassments were already sufficiently onerous, without the addition of enormous costs to absorb the trifling balances that might remain for their use, after satisfaction of the various charges and incumbrances affecting their former properties. Any [trifling alterations could scarcely remove the admitted grievances, so long as the rules of the Court of Chancery were strictly adhered to. Nothing would prove really effectual that did not confer on every purchaser a Parlia mentary title, constituting a completely new root of title. This view, we are happy to say, the Ministers have adopted, and an enlarged and comprehensive measure has indeed been brought forward, consti tuting a new tribunal, which shall be fettered by no petty rules, but may deal with the properties en trusted to its charge on purely equitable principles such as those by which we might suppose the Court of Chancery to be influenced on its first creation, before a series of precedents had arisen to control the discretion and restrict the power of the presiding judge. A Commission is to be formed consisting of three paid Commissioners, with a secre tary, who should follow the course formerly pursued by the Commissioners appointed to distribute the 20,000,0001. compensation to the owners of West Indian estates. That they should frame a set of rules for their own guidance, to be submitted to the Privy Council in Ireland ; and when sanctioned by it, to have the same power as if enacted by Par liament ; and they should be empowered from time to time to alter and vary these rules. They are not, however, to make any rules by which fees of any description should be levied. This is indeed an important restriction, by which many serious objections to the Commission will be obviated. These Commissioners may deal with every applica tion that may be submitted to them within three years from the date of their appointment. The period will, however, be probably extended for two years in addition. These Commissioners will be in vested with all the powers of the Court of Chan cery with respect to the production of evidence. Their decision will be final and unimpeachable. Upon application of an owner or incumbrancer, they will be authorised, after such preliminary inquiries as they may deem expedient, to proceed to a sale of the property in such manner, and in such portions, as they may think proper. The conveyance will be made in a short and cheap form, similar to that now adopted in the conveyance of Crown lands, and it will vest the property in the pur chaser, giving him a clear title against all the world. He will have no difficulty in obtaining the lands, for something similar to a writ of possession will be is sued. He will thus get the lands he may have con tracted for with a clear, and simple, and, above all, an imperishable title. The purchasc... money will be paid into the Bank of Ireland, to be distributed among the parties who may establish their claims with re spect thereto. This is indeed what was required for Ireland-- what we have so often insisted on, and wh4t Sir ROBERT PEEL more recently advocated. We con gratulate the Government on having, even at the eleventh hour, cast aside the trammels by which their good intentions were neutralised and rendered of but little effect. At length they have brought forward a measure suited to the emergency, and its beneficial results will be speedily perceptible in the amelioration of the social condition of Ireland, which- will no longer constitute the chief difficulty of the Cabinet for the time being. The Solicitor-General also brought forward another Bill, granting additional powers to persons having estates for life, or other limited interests, to grant leases of the lands which were for the time being wholly vested in them. This will also be pro ductive of the most beneficial results throughout the entire country. Denmark would appear to be losing ground before the flagitious but victorious Prussians. At least such would seem to be the result of the second cam paign in Jutland, according to the statements made in the German newspapers. We rather suspect, how ever, that true prudence suggests to us the propriety of receiving those statements cum grand salis. Re membering the sort of ministerial filtration which the intelligence from Hungary has all along been subjected to on its passage through Vienna, we can not but conceive to ourselves the possibility, just the bare possibility, that the accounts from Schleswig are, by the contrivance of the Berlin Cabinet, passed through precisely such another official colander. Knowing the heroism of the Danish forces, bearing in mind the untramelled position of the Danish Government, and recollecting the amplitude of` the resources and the elasticity of the character of the Danish SOVEREIGN, we cannot but look with doubt upon the dispatches received at intervals from the seat of war—recounting the interminable triumphs -of the invaders and the continual misfortunes of the defenders of the Northern Peninsula. Impressed with a conviction that these narratives are in most instances garbled, and in several altogether erroneous, it is with peculiar satisfaction that we observe, from an announcement made in the columns of the Ber lingsche Zeitung, that it is the intention of the Admi nistration at Copenhagen to publish henceforth, in extenso, the reports of the Danish commanders imme diately on their arrival in the Danish metropolis. By this arrangement all further misapprehension will be rendered impossible; for the comparison of the conflicting accounts furnished by the belligerents themselves will enable every sagacious mind to arrive at a rapid and accurate conclusion. Taking for granted the correctness of the informa tion received via Hamburgh, it would assuredly appear to those who are unacquainted with the relative strength of the hostile Governments, that the army of his MAJESTY of Denmark has no very auspicious prospect in reference to its struggle with bis daring and formidable an tagonists. The latest intelligence recounts the progressive advance northwards of the German assailants and of their auxiliaries, the rebel band of the Schleswig-Holsteiners. Under the command of Gen. Vox Borax the aggressors have not only passed the Eider, but have even crossed the waters of the Skod borg. They have passed onwards from Flensburg to Apenrade, from Apenrade to Haderaley, from Ha dersley to Kolding ; and at holding, the frontier town of North Jutland, situated at the extremity of the Fiord of Dreyens, the belligerents appear to have, on the morning of the 20th inst., crossed swords, and.to have contended with enthusiasm for the mastery. Of course the Frio sian authorities assume the glory ofthe victory to them' selves—asserting not merely that their soldiers remain ed upon the field of battle, but that Bolding was in flames, and that the Danes were retreating in precipitate confusion on Veile and Friedericia. Yet, even . according to their own statement, the troops of G ene: rel Borax have suffered severely in the ferocious struggle, which commenced shortly of tar daybreak and did not terminate until night fel [l. To enhance the importance of the battle, it is oise.rved, in the Borsenhalle accounts, that the courier who had arrived with the information had perceived a glow upon the horizon from the blazing city of Bold ing, even when he was as far removed from the con flagration as Apenrade. From all this it may be imagined that the game of war is already up with the Danish SOVEREIGN. Seeing that his German antagonists have traversed the whole of the Scandi navian duchy of Schleswig, have taken and destroyed the city of Folding, and have carried the disasters of the campaign yet further into his dominions—it may be conceived that nothing further remains to the KING but to throw down his sword and submit to the dictation of terms by the Cabinet at Berlin. Far from it. The resources of Denmark are too copious in their extent and too extraordinary in their character to render any such pusillanimous proceeding necessary. The very successes of the Prussians and Schleswig-Holsteiners will only tend to facilitate the Danish efforts at retaliation. Let the conquerors march onwards, in the blind delight of their victories, towards the sound of the Ager and the cape of the Skaw—and so surely as they do, they will taste the bitterness of their ultimate discomfiture. With a naval force like that at his disposal, the Bing of DENMARK might set almost half•a dozen such expe ditions at defiance. Isolated from any direct attack upon his capital and his most important dominions— possessing an impregnable stronghold in the islands of Zeeland and Funen, of .Eroe and Langeland, of Falater and Moen, of Taasinge and Laaland—the Danish Mori...am would always retain at his command the means of wreaking upon any German enemy a frightful and disastrous vengeance. By blockading the ports, by harassing the invaders of his peninsular provinces, and by cutting them off from the continent in the event of their ad vancing rashly upon the extremities of Jutland, he would be enabled to strangle the energies of an as sailant otherwise of vastly superior vigour. Any attack upon Denmark on the side of Germany must always be a venture of the most hazardous and perilous description, seeing that the aggressors would, throughout the whole of the campaign, be liable at any moment to be assaulted in any direction. The insular strength of Denmark would provide the de fenders with a secure and unapproachable magazine of danger. The surrounding waves of the Baltic and of the German ocean, together with the deep and in tricate indentations made along the entire coast of Jutland by its fiords or estuaries, would jeopardize the fortune of the invaders even in the hour of their greatest apparent advantage, by placing them in a situation in which they might very readily he surrounded. We are consequently very far indeed from viewing the Danish army as one in any very alarming extremity. On the contrary, there are ample reasons for considering its iniquitous assailants as very dangerously situated. The atrocity of the war made by Prussia and other German principalities upon Denmark—a war not second in infamy even to that declared by Naples upon Sicily, or of that proclaimed by Austria upon the Hungarians—imparts to the cause of the Danes a sanctity which must inevitably tend to its ulterior success. Any adverse conclusion to the campaign, any conclusion which would enhance the dominions of Germany by the spoliation of Denmark, would be a blot upon the reputation of England (were she to look on unconcernedly at such atrocious robbery), which nothing could ever obliterate. That Lord PALMERSTON will permit the fame of Great Britain to be tarnished in this manner, we do not for one moment anticipate. His temperament is too chivalrous to admit of the possi bility of his beholding the dismemberment of an ancient and honourable ally, without stretching forth a finger of assistance, or raising one cry of indigna nation. His judgment is too keen and sagacious not to recognise the atrocity of the conduct of Germany in claiming to herself a duchy to which she has not the faintest vestige of a right. Upon the chart of the world is branded the infamy of the whole transaction on the part of Prussia in letters as venerable very nearly as the science of geography. Under the southern boundaries of Schleswig, along the southern banks of the Eider, within the northern frontiers of Holstein, there is, in every large map of Europe pub lished during the last two or three centuries, this old Latin line : " ENdera Germani terminus Imperil." In defiance of that solemn assurance that Schleswig and Holstein are separate and not identical, in defiance of the records of history and of the im memorial rights of Denmark, Prussia has led a robber-army across the limits of Jutland. And why ? Because the adventure was " convenient." The war is strictly a guerre de convenance—a thing as execrable in its way as a marriage de convenance. To prevent any loss accruing to our noble ally Den mark in consequence of this lawless aggression of Prussia upon Jutland is a solemn duty devolving upon England —a duty in which our national honour is seriously concerned. We give elsewhere a letter from Mr. BROWN, M.P for Tewkesbury, on the practical mode of carrying out Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan in Ireland. Mr. BROWN is the author of the pamphlet on reproduc tive measures for Ireland, called " Irish Wants and Practical Remedies," which has had so much influence with the Cabinet on the Irish railway question. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has, it is said, protested against the suicidal intervention of France in the affairs of Rome. The National Assembly has refused to grant to M. DELIMARRE the permission which he asked to pro secute M. LEDRU ROLLIN. The French Mediterranean fleet has received orders to rendezvous at Ajaccio, in order to be ready to pro ceed to any port of Italy where its presence may be required. The Journal des Debuts announces that M. Bois La Cowls, the French Minister at Turin, has been instructed by his Government to encourage the King of SARDINIA to reject the terms of peace attempted to be enforced by Marshal RADETZKT. It adds that orders have been forwarded to the Sardinian Admiral, ALmNi, to remain in the Adriatic until the existing difficulties shall have been removed.

The Royal troops have experienced a complete rout from the Cm-lists under CABRERA, at the vil lage of Ardepol. It appears that CONCHA had for some time past been endeavouring to bribe the TRIS- Term to submit, and at length the armistice had been agreed on, and was to be signed at Ardepol, where the bribe was to be paid. The troops of the QUEEN, two thousand strong, were lodged in one part of the village, and the Carlist forces in the other. On a sudden CABRERA appeared at the head of a body of his guides, and, at the cry of " Viva CARLOS VI." up and at them. The Carlists rose, and opened a murderous fire upon the QUEEN'S troops, of whom a great slaughter took place. One hundred and twenty prisoners were taken, among whom, it is said, is Brigadier MANzmio, who was made prisoner some months before by MARSAL, and exchanged. Colonel ROTALDE, who had directed the convention, is among the wounded. The surprise took place at night. The situation of the village is said to be very suitable for an ambush of the kind. The whole of the QUEEN'S troops would have fallen into CABRERA'S hands if the Centralist's Chiefs BEI: LERA and BALRICR had consented to take pirt, as CABRERA proposed. Scruples as to the delicacy of CABRERA'S scheme, however, kept these Chiefs back; they declared that they would never gain by treason, but in fair and open fight. The Carlists defend the transaction by averring, that they are merely paying off the accumulated treasons by which their Chia) have fallen into the hands of the Captain-General CONCHA. Senor Mora has resigned all his offices in conse• quence of the insults to which he has been subjected by NARVAEZ, on account of the ill success of his negotiations for effecting a reconciliation with Eng land. NARVAEZ is also greatly annoyed at the exclu sion of SOTTO MAYOR from the conferences held in Paris between the English Ambassador and the French Government, on the subject of the Count na MoNTEmous. There was a " scene" in the Cortes, on the 20th, on account of the false intelli gence, systematically circulated by the Government, from Catalonia.

The Austrians have been again defeated in a great battle, and WELDER, " the best general in the Aus trian service," as he has been called, has not been more successful against the Magyars than was his predecessor. On the 20th WELDEN concentrated all his forces, withdrawing even the garrison from Pesth, and from the camp in the neighbourhood of Ofen, for the purpose of making a general combined attack upon the Hungarian forces, IVELDEN attacking them in front, and JELLACIUCH and SCHLICK taking them in flank and rear; this grand combined attack took place on the 20th and 21st at Gran, and ended in the complete defeat of WELDER. The Ober-Zeitung says that the Austrians were driven back with the loss of 20 guns and 2,000 prisoners, and that they have been compelled to raise the siege of Comorn. Lord PONSONST has left Vienna for London. PRUSSIA. In the second Chamber, on the 23J, BURCHER put an Interpellation to the Ministry on the subject of the negotiations going on in London with Denmark, which elicited the following explanation : " Count Arnim-1 shall not follow the previous speaker through his preliminary reasoning or ultimate conclusions, but shall limit myself to declaring, that I know Of no double negotiation—of no nego tiation save that carried on in London ; and second, to explaining the mistake of our consul-general. At the time when the termination of the armistice was pro• nounced the negotiations were in progress, but as it was foreseen that peace could not be concluded before the expiration of the armistice, a prolongation was proposed until the 15th, and was to have been agreed to under the form of a protocol, the signature of which was delayed however. At length I received a telegraphic dispatch (dates are not mentioned by Count Arnim, but it must have been on the 26th March), stating that the Central Government assented to a prolongation conditionally. At the same time I also received officiarinformation that Denmark also assented. I thereupon instantly forwarded the two notices to our consul-general in London. I did not know until later that the armistice had been . de nounced, nor did I obtain knowledge of the consul general's circular until the 28th. I have reason to be lieve,' added Count Arnim, • that no losses have taken place in consequence of the mistake complained of.' " DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The town of Kolding has been taken by the Schles wig -Holstein troops, after a smart resistance on the part of the Danish garrison. Fighting continued for many hours in the streets before the town was eva cuated by the Danes. The loss in killed and wounded is not given. On the 19th of April the head-quarters of General BoNIN were advanced from Hadersieben to Christianfeld. The outpost s o f t h e two arm i es came into collision between Woesild and Kolding. A letter from Altona, of the 23d, gives the following account of the affair " The second division of Jsgers and 9tk battalion of Infantry pushed on to Kolding, without waiting for artillery or cavalry. The first obstacle that opposed their progress was a barricade thrown up in front of the houses outside the town. They drove back the Danes over the bridge, where they f oun d s h elter behind ano ther row of barri▪ cades. These were stormed at the point of the bayonet, and the ent rance i nto the town cleared. The small garri▪ son of Kolding defended itself valiantly in the streets, but was finally compelled to fall back in the direction of the fortress of Friedericia." The Hamburgh Papers of the 24th contain no fur ther intelligence from K olding, except t h at the c i ty has suffered much from fire. The German troops are in quiet undisputed possession, but it does not appear what is likely to be the next movement. The Nuremberg Zeitung, in an article dated London, the 20th, asserts as positive that steps have been taken to induce LEO ?OLD, KING of th e B ELGIANS, to act the part of m ediator. Wh e th er or not be will accept this c face is not yet known. An article from London, in the Wiener Zeitung, says th a t the merchants of the M e t ropo li s are pre paring a petition to Lord PALMERSTON, praying for the removal of the blockade of the German harbours. The merchants and traders are greatly inconvenienced by this blockade. Yesterday a Netherlands vessel from Marseilles was about to enter the harbour of Tra ventounde, when the Danish war-steamer, the Geiser, signalled her to strike her colours. This command net being instantly complied with a shot was fired over the vessel, and consequently did no damage. Several vessels are lying at anchor. The harbour of Pillau WAS blockaded on the 20th, the commander of the Danish brig of war, the St. Croix, which i s a pp o i n t e d to discharge that o ffi ce, having previously sent notice to the consuls of all the neutral harbours.

The:Danes, it must be acknowledged, fought manfully; they are now assembling in large numbers on the heights beyond Kolding. ITALY. The reaction is triumphant at Florence, and the latest news from Leghorn announces the embarkation of the Republican Chiefs, and the approach of the Tuscan reactionary troops to that city. AVBZZANA has arrived in Rome, for which city the Legion of GARIBALDI is in full march, to protect it against the French. Should the French enter Rome, the Provisional Government will retire to Ancona. The Sardinian fleet is in the Venetian waters. SICILY. The News from Naples is that the Government of Palermo has offered to surrender on such terms as Admiral BAUDIN can procure for them. We do not believe a word of this intelligence. It comes from Naples, a moot suspicious source, and it speaks of Admiral BAUDIN as though he were at Palermo, the fact being that Admiral BAUDIN is at Ajaccio. TUB RAILWAY VIADUCT.—The extension of the line of the Dundee and Perth Railway to the General Terminus by a viaduct behind Marshal-place is now in active progress in three or four different places. The masonry for sustaining the arches—which will likely be iron ones —across James-street and Scott-street, as well as the retaining walls of the embankment or mound betwixt these localities, are already nearly finished; and on other portions of the ground, even within Mr. Mount's old wood-yard, the work goes on rapidly.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was sty ady, and prices were firm. The sales were 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken on speculation. Rail way Shares were in less demand, at rather lower prices. The report upon the affairs of the Eastern Counties Railway corroborates the outline given yesterday under this head, and we have only to add that the statement excites unusual interest, and lively discussion, although the condition of the market does not indicate this, the fall as yet being only 10s. per share; inasmuch as the mere speculators have already sold to a sufficient extent, and the report has not been out sufficiently long to judge of the course that will be pursued by the public, in sending in their shares fur sale. It would appear that at least half a million sterling, in addition to the exist ing capital, must be raised in order to complete the branch lines, and compete with the Great Northern, and that past liabilities will have to be cleared off before the capital account can be made up. Indeed this latter task will occupy the parties appointed during the next month or two. Provision must bo made to relay parts of the line within the next two years, and this will either trench upon dividends, upon fresh capital, or upon new leans. A balance of less than 7,0001. remains over from last half year's takings, and many extra expenses must be met this half year, so that upon the whole the prospect is exceedingly discouraging. There are later ads ices from New York, and they again allude to an easier state of the Money market, partly in anticipation of bullion receipts from Europe. 'The markets for produce are drooping. The Hamburgh mail, just arrived, advises no alte ration on Tuesday last in the rate of exchange on Lon don, or in the value of money. The blockade by the Danish ships was becoming more effectual at the different German ports. The second report of the Leipsic fair is favourable. A large number of buyers were present, and they seemed disposed to operate freely, though with some caution. Zollverein fabrics seemed relatively to have rather a bet ter sale than English piece goods. Perhaps on the whole it may be said that the fair was scarcely so active as had been expected. The Amsterdam Bourse on Wednesday was without any marked alteration. Spaaish Bonds were more offered. The further information contained in the Mexican correspondence sent by Mr. W. Parish Robertson, will be exceedingly gratifying to the bondholders, and really justifies the hope that the stock, at a fair price, will be come an eligible security for the investment of a portion of surplus means, where parties are blessed with more than they can well employ. The establishment of a National Bank is one great object to be accomplished, and Messrs. Schneider are requested to make exer tions to pay a whole dividend, and which no doubt they shortly will do. The Government of Mexico has presented a project of law stipulating that the bud get shall be reformed, that the annual expenditure shall not exceed 7,000,000 dollars, that the debt shall not be augmented, nor the interest capitalised, and that the United States' indemnity money and other resources shall be placed at the disposal of a board of credit, to carry out the contemplated objects.

CORN EXCHAINGE—FRIDAY. Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the present week, as well as fresh up to day, have been very moderate, they have i xceeded the demand. The show of samples of bo h red and white this morning was small; yet, as the country markets come lower, and the weather has become more season able, the demand for all descriptions was heavy, at a fall in the prices of Monday of from is to 2s pt r quarter, without c fleeting a clearance. The total import or fore ga Wheat has been only 7,590 quarters, chiefly from the Baltic. All kinds were a very dull inquiry, and the quotations receded is to 2s per quar ter. In floating cargoes, scarcely a transaction took place. The finest Smile Barley moved off steadily at full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were somewhat easier to purchase. In Malt very few sales took place. In its value, however, we have no change to notice. Oats, the supply of which was short, moved off slowly at late rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour dull, at barely stationary prices. English ...... Scotch ...... Irish. Foreign ...... ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. I Wheat. I Barley. Oats. Flour. 1,950 qrs. I 890 qrs.

The weather having become milder, and the attendance of buyers being small, the beef trade was excessively heavy, at a further decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The extreme value of the best Scots was only 3s 4d per 81bs. Sheep—the number of which was seasonably good—moved off slowly, at barely Monday's reduction in value. In Lambs, next to nothing was doing, and prices declined, from 2d to, in some instances 4d per 81bs. The best Down Lambs sold with difficulty at 5s 10t1 per Blbs. Calves met a very dull inquiry, on somewhat easier terms. The Pork trade was exces sively heavy, at drooping currencies. Zilch Cows were almost nominal in value.

Within the last three or four weeks the arrivals of Tea in London have been large, the imports this year to the 16th inst. being 19,598,0001b5. against only 14,188,0001b3. to the same date in 1848. The deliveries in London this year have been 11,575,0001b5, a slight in crease, and the stock is much the same as in April, 1848, viz., 36,933,000 lbs. The simultaneous arrival of ao large a proportion of the year's imports, although, looking forward a few months, probably without permanent i , licence, could not fail to cause a serious temporary depression; thus Congou, the total import of which is little like to be in excess, has, in common with all descriptions, declined in value the last month; for this probably no better reason can be assigned than the disposition of some importers to realise, which must ever be ex pected. Now that arrivals are leas numerous it is probable the trade will shortly evidence a feeling of returning confidence in the maintenance of pricks. In Green Teas some extent of business has been done during the last three weeks, at constantly declining prices; we have now reached so low a p o i nt f or good and fine qualities of Imperial, Gunpowder, and Young Hyson (the latter especially), that we can but think some reaction probable. The import will, without doubt, be considerable, but the excess will be mainly of a quality to displace Twankay and common Hyson. GREEN FRUIT.—The market has improved for Oranges, and as the stock is limited, and the shipments from the Azores are nearly finished, a further advance in the price may be expected. A cargo, ex Gazelle, from St. Michael, sold at public sale by Keeling and Hunt, went at prices averaging 2s. per box advance. Lisbon have advanced in proportion.

After waiting an hour, a messenger who had been sent to the attorneys returned and slid they did not in tend to attend to day. The jury were then discharged' HER MAJESTY'S THiLATRE. Any one who had chanced to pass up the Haymarke t yest, rday evening, between live and six, would have at once perceived that Jenny Lind had returned to the stage. Nothing short of such an occurrence could have assembled, at that early hour, such crowds of seekers for admission at the pit and gallery doors of Her Ma' jesty's Theatre. There were at that time—that is t° say, nearly two hours before the time fixed for opining the doors—at least twice as many persons assembled as the pit and gallery could accommodate.

To dilate upon her performance of Amine would be, indeed, "t o g ild re' fined gold." She is far and away the very best Amine that has ever appeared, and Amino, is one of the yerf best of her characters, and the character she has the most frequently repeated in this country, and never (lid she surpass, we doubt whether she ever equalled, be t performance of last evening. The scene with th e Count - was a charming piece of rustic coqueltriP a most fascinating mixture of simplicity and tiwiditl , and the concluding scenes were ,masterpieces of 118 0 °' She was in excellent voice, and sung the music de liciously. The finale was a glorious triumph ; 11ke seemed to revel in her dari ng fli g h ts , an d to create di ficulties only to show how easily she could overcome them. She was called for at the conclusion of the first act, a compliment richly merited by the exquisitely beautiful manner in which she bad rendered the see; nambulist scene, and th ree t i mes at the conclusion of the opera, when she was again greeted with the waving of hats and handkerchiefs ; and bouquets a fuison showered on her. But it is not alone as the anniversary e l the return of J e nny Li n d to t h e stage that the 26th Ap r; will be henceforth celebrated in the operatic annals of Ear land. It will also be remembered as the anniversary of the debut of one, who,l it we are s not very ma ch mistaken, is destined, at no distant period, to take his station as the first tenor of the Italian stage, Signor Calzolari, who was the Elvino of the evening' Since the debut of Rubini, we have had no tenor who has at once taken': his place so indisputably in the front rank as has Signor Calzolari. Calzolari is a young man, exceedingly good looking, with a r 3 .1 2! stage figure, and a voi ce suc h as f ew tenors possess, w it h all the sweetness and purity o f G ar d on i or Mar i o, Oil all the flexibility of Rubitai, and he has greater power than either, and the purity and sweetness of the tone is not at all dimini s h e d by t h e exerc i se o f that power. The compass of his voice must be v e ry great , for he sang the whole of th e mus i c o f E lv i no wit hou t having apparently reached the compass of his re: gister, either in the upper or lower tones. His falset l .l, if falsetto it can be called, i s ver y b eaut if u l —we s a y , falsetto it can be called, b ecause , un lik e t h e genera lity '' tenors, his is a perf ec t vo i ce , and r i ses sv fairly note by note, th a t i t i s almost in3:l possible to discover wh ere t h e chest 111 end and the head not es b eg i n ; above 5 things, we admire in Signor Calzolari, his exceeding r e ; verence for his author ; h e s i ngs the mus i c as it , written, doing his best to d eve l ope t h e b eaut i es of °lf. author, even to the t o t a l a b negat i on of se's We have never heard th e " 'Putt° sciolte. more deliciously given —not even by Bubial , and the "Ah ! porde" was a perfect triumph of e%; pression, sweetness, a nd o f- execut i on, and 1!110 rewarded with a raptur ous encore. The ° Elf of Signor Calzolari i s su p er i or to that o f e ither Gatdoni or Mario, and we cordially congrala' late Mr. Lumley on having secured his s ervices lie was called for at th e conc l us i on of the opera, and ow led on by Jenny Lind. B e ll e t.i was the Count RodolP h° ;, the best Count that we h ave seen of late years. ~ s "Vi rarviso" was splendidly rendered. The opera Uf the Sonnambula his never been so strongly cast or se perfectly represented as a whole in this country as it was last evening at Her Majesty's Theatre.
