Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday exhi bited but moderato supplies of wheat. The demand, how ever, for all kinds ruled inactive, at barely stationary prices. Barley was very dull, and lower to purchase. Most other grain moved off slowly, on former terms. The French markets are still firm for wheat, but those in Germany rule heavy for most kinds of produce. In the United States, both wheat and flour continee to come to hand very freely. The receipts of English grain up to our market, last week, were but moderate. From abroad, we received 14,394 quarters of wheat, 4,352 barley, 12,860 oats, 8,995 beans, 125 tares, 25,023 linseed, 7,740 rapeseed, 1,490 sun dry seeds, 1,754 sacks, and 769 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day coastwise was very moderate, and by land carriage the receipts were rather limited. However - some of Friday's unsold samples were on offer. The attendance of buyers was far from extensive, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was in a slug g ish state. Selected qualities were mostly disposed of at last Monday's quotations ; but the low and damp parcels were the turn in favour of buyers. At the close of business Kent wheats gave way is to 2s per quarter, and some of the Essex qualities were unsold. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat in the market. Good heavy qualities were held somewhat firmly, at full prices; bat low samples commanded very little attention. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. The show of English barley was very moderate, of foreign good. The trade ruled heavy, and prices were the turn against sellers. We had a slow inquiry for malt, at last week's quota tions. The supply was moderate. There was a full average show of oats which moved off steadily, at 6d more money. We had a good demand for beans, at an advance of is per quarter, and peas mere rather dearer. The flout trade was inactive, but no change took place in prices.

TRIAL OF WILLIAM PALMER. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (THIS DAY). FIFTH DAY. This morning there was more than usual excitement outside the Court. Long before the hour at which the Court sat, a large erowd had assembled outside to watch the arrival of persons engaged in the proceedings. The interior of the Court was also more crowded than be- fore, mostly by the medical profession, it being known that the proceedings would commence with the exami ❑ation of Dr. Taylor. Mr. Baron Alderson did not take his seat this morn ing, and Lord Campbell and Mr. Justice Cresswell alone proceeded with the case. The prisoner looked rather pale, and during the day a strong nervous t xitching of the lower muscles of the face bespoke the intense anxiety which he endured. The jury having reassembled, The Attorney-General called Professor Taylor, who having been sworn, said—Nly name is .Alfred SWaine Taylor. lam a Professor at Guy's Hospital, and a Pei low of the Cu/!ego of Physicians. Lord Campbell—Let your statements be slow and distinct. The Attorney-General—You are I believe lecturer upon medical jurisprudence at Guy's Hospital ?—I am. The AttorneyGeneral—And author of a work upon poisons ?—I The Attorney-General—Have you amonvt your stories upon the nature of .pois,:kris turned particular attention to that cf strychnine ?—I have. The Attorney-General—lt ia, I believe, the produce of nux vornica ?—lt is. AttorneyGaneral—And nux vomica contains, I be lieve, besides strychnia that which is called brucia ?—lt. does ; nux vomica contains a'mut 12 of brucia to 6 of strychnine, and the impure and not properly prepared strychnine contains more or less brucia. Attorney-General--So thpt unless you know the purity of the article, you may be misled as to the strength of the strychnine ?—You may. Attorney-General—You have, I believe, tried various experiments with strychnine upon animal life ?—I have. Attorney-General—Have you ever witnessed an in stance of its action upon a human subject ?—I have not. Attorney-General —ln how many instances have you tried its effects upon animal life ?—Ten or twelve. Attorney-General--What class of animals l—Rabbits. Attorney-General—Have you found the symptoms produced uniformly the same ?—Yes. Attorney-General—What has been the quantities you administ(red ?—From half a grain to two grains. Attorney-General—Have you found half a grain suf ficient to destroy life?—Yes. Attorney-General—ln what manner have you admi nistered it ?—Solid. Attorney-General—And also liquid ?—Yee. Attorney-General—Were the effects between that which you gave solid and that given fluid different ? They were. Attorney-General—How long was that given in a fluid state before it took effect ?—A. very few minutes. Attorney-General—And how long that which you administered solid ?—That which I gave solid in the form of a pill or a roll did not produce any effect from six to seven minutes. Attorney-General—Do you find the time of its taking effect infleenced by the strength of the dose ?—Yes, and also by the strength of the animal. Attorney-General—How does it operate upon the sys tem to produce the symptoms l—First by absorption in the blood. It; then circulates through the body, and especially acts upon the spinal cord. Attorney-General—Suppose absorption to have taken place, how long is it circulating through the body ? The supposed circulation of the blood is once in from three to four minutes. Through the whole system it would be about four minutes. The circulation in the blood of a rabbit is quicker. The absorption in a rabbit would be quicker. The rapidity of the absorption also depends upon the state of the stomach receiving it as to whether there is much food to prevent its coming' in contact immediately with the coats of the stomach. I think it must be first absorbed before it will act upon the nervous system. tA torney.General—Describe the symptoms which it produces—The animal for the first five or eight minutes does not appear to suffer, but runs about as soon as the poison acts. It suddenly falls on its side, and is seized with a trembling of the whole of the body. Attorney-General—What first causes the trembling ? —A general motion of the whole muscular system, aris ing from the poison producing an involuntary contrac tion. Upon this taking place, the fore and hind legs are stretched out with the head drawn back, and the body is bent in the form of a bow. The jaws are closed and the eyes are prominent, and protruding after a short time ; there are slight remissions of symptom., and it then ap- pears to be quiet. The slightest noise or touch pro duces convulsions or spasms, and the animal shrieks or screams as if suffering great pain. The heart beats very violently during the fits, and after a succession of those fits it dies quietly. Sometimes it does not die quiet, but appears to die during one of these spasms of the heart. Attorney-General—What are the appearances after death f—ln some instances, they appear to dif fer, but in general the animal is in a strictly rigid state throughout. In one instance the animal was so stiff after death that you could hold it horizon tally by taking hold of its hind legs, as I now hold this book (taking up the Testament). It remained in that state for a week. In the case of an animal killed the other day by strychnine, it was fleccid at the time of death, but became rigid about five minutes afterwards. The witness, in answer to other questions, said—l have opened the bodies of animals thus destroyed, and found no appearance of the stomach being congested and in one or two cases found congestion of the mem branes more than due to the gravitation after death. The congestion, I think, is due to the succession of fits the animals had. In three out of the five cases I found no abnormal change. The heart in all the cases has been congested. By the Lord Chief Justice—The right side more especially. By the Attorney-General—l have seen, years ago, a case of ordinary tetanus, but I have not had much ex perience. I saw a case of tetanus in the human subject last ThurSday week, in St.. Thomas's Hospital. It did not end fatally; the person recovered. I have heard the symptoms of Mr. Cook described. These symptoms ap peared to me precisely the same as those which appeared in the animals I have described. The animals have died at variable periods. One died in 13 minutes and one in 17. Symptoms appeared more rapidly when the strych nine had been given in a fluid state. Death takes place in about 17 minutes. The experiments I have made lately have been confined entirely to solids. The symp toms appeared in the first case in 7 minutes, and the animal died in about 13 minutes. In the next case sy mptoins appeared in 9 minutes, and death occurred in 17 minutes ; in the third, 10 minutes arid died in 13 minutes; in the fourth, in 12 minutes and died in 22 minutes ; in the fifth, in 10 minutes and died in 23 minutes. The poison would take longer to act on the human subject. The pill structure would require to be broken up iu order to bring the poi-ma in contact with the mucous membrane of the stomach. In the case of the rabbits I have destroyed, I have administered the poison in the form of pills. I don't think we can draw any inference between the death of the animals and the human subject, because the circulation and absorption are entirely different. There would be a difference between one human subject and another. The strength of the dose would also make a dif ference. In the experiments made upon the ani mals I have reproduced the strychnia. The prin ciple of extraction consists in putting the stomach and its contents in alcohol mixed with a small quantity of sulphuric acid to dissolve the strychnia. We then get sulphate of strychnia, if any be discovered. Having got the sulphate of strychnia, the liquor is filtered and gently evaporated, and then an alkali added—carbonate of potass. It combines with the sulphuric acid, and so produces the strychnia if present. Besides this mode of ascertaining the presence of strychnia, there are other tests. Strychnia has a strong bitter taste. Another test is that strychnia is nearly soluble in water ; it is soluble in acid and in alcohol. It is precipitated by acid when it has been dissolved in them. The colour test is applied to the evaporations. A mixture of strong sulphuric acid and bi-chromate of potass produces a blue colour changing to a violet, then purple, and passing to a red. These colouring tests are very fallacious. When we have separated strychnia in its crystaline state, we have recognised the crystals by their form and their chemical quali ties. You ma y produce all the symptoms by introducing strychnine into a punctured wound; it operates in that case more quickly. 'There are other vegetable substances which will exhibit similar results after the Colouriug tests. A. mixture of sugar and bile will produce the purplt red tint. A sub stance called phyrozantin produces precisely similar colours as strychnine. I have known. cases occur in ray own laboratory of persetis thinking that — they ' had strychnia when it was only phyro-zentin. A small quantity of salucine added gives this mixture a bitter taste. Vegetable poisons are more eliffiOult to discover than mineral ones. In the rabbits I have destroyed I have tried to discover the strength of the strychnia in four distinct cases. I was as4isted, by Dr. Rads.. I applied the process I have just de ecribed. I endeavoured to reproduce the strychnia if present, and then applied those celeury tests I have mentioned. In one case by .the colour tests I had Oven two grains of strychnin e when it was discovered by the colour test in the other ease I had given one grain. I attribute the absence of strychnia in some of the cases to its absorption into the blood, and therefore it would bo no longer in the stomach. It is in great part changed in the blood. In some cases there would be a retention of sems not absorbed there being an excess of what was required to destroy life. Supposing the minimum dose given I should not ex pect to discover any if it was required to destroy life. There is no process by which I am acquainted with of detecting strychnine in the ti , suee. Half-a-grain has destroyed life, and supposing it to bo absorbed in the eystem by circulation, I should find in the blood, aseutu ing that it be 251 b. in the human subject, there would be 1-50th of a grain to 11b. of blood. A physician in Ca nada died in 20 minutes from a dose of half-a-grain. I believe it undergoes is partial - change in the blood. I have never heard of its being separated from the tissues in a crystalised state. The crystra!s are peculiar in form. Toey present themselves in the form sometimes of octahedra and quadilateral prisms, terminating in four-sided pyramids. There are other. organic substances which crystalise in a similar manner. After Cook's death'l received a brown stone jar from Mr. Boycott covered with bladder and tied and sealed. It contained the stomach and intestines of the deceased. I experimented on - it with a view to discover poison. We sought for varnous first, prussic acid, oxalic acid, morphia, strychnia, veratria, the poisons of tobacco and hemlock. We only found small traces of antimony. The parts sent us to experiment on were the most unfae vourable that possibly could be to find strychnia, from the stomach having been cut completely from end to end, and all the contents gone, and the flue mucous surface in which any poison, if present, would be found lying in contact with the outside of the intes tines, all thrown together. On the surface of the mucous membrane of the intestines there was feculent matter. No doubt, in its journey up to London, it had been shaken in every possible way ; the contents of the intestines were also gone. If this poison had been in the system I should have expected to have found it in the contents and on the mucous membrane. At my request other parts of the body were sent—the liver, spleen, and the two kidneys, and in addition a small bottle of blood, 11b. weight—it was unlabelled, giving us no idea from whence it was taken. We analysed all the liver and kidneys for mineral poison, and discovered in one eighth part of the liver antimony. We analysed the left kidney and the spleen—they all yielded antimony, but the quantity was less in the spleen than in the other parts. The blood also yielded antimony. It was re produced or brought out by boiling the animal substance in a mixture of hydro-chloric acid and water, and cop per in a state of foil and gall was introduced into it whilst boiling, and the antimony appeared on the sur face. We applied various tests to it—both the esta blished tests and others. [The professor handed in a small quantity of the antimony so produced.] It is im possible to say with precision when the antimony was taken by the subject, but it must have been within a few days. The longest period I have known antimony foiled in the blood after the parson hna ceased to take it is eight days ; antimony within my own knowledge has got into the blood in the quickes t time in 18 hours. I found it in the liver, the boy hav ing died within 19 hours after taking it ; it was a small dose, and was not the cause of death. It was about five or six grains of antimonial powder. Antitraony is given in tartar emetic. It acts as an irritant and produces vomiting. Repeated doses would, notwithstanding the vomiting, leave a portion behind and that would find its way into the system. It is often given in minute doses with impunity, and it might be given so as to produce symptoms that would produce death if continued. I heard from the servant her description of Mr. Cook's vomiting both at Rugeley and at Shrewsbury, as well as the accounts given by Mr. Jones and Mr. Gibson, and it was such as that which would be produced from anti mony ; antimony is partly soluble in fluids, and does not affect the colour of the fluid in which it is mixed, if used in small quantities ; a quantity sufficient to produce sickness would not affect the colour of toast and water, brandy, wine, or broth. I should think the antimony found in'the deceased must have been given within three weeks of death—there was no evidence of any having been given within a few hours of death. By Lord Campbell—lt might have been administered within a few days of death—in fact within 18 hours of death. Examination continued—Antimony to cause sickness would not be perceptible to the taste. A large quantity taken might leave a tickling or choking sensation for a time. In the analyses we made we found no trace of mercury. If it had been taken recently to the extent of two grains, I should have expected to have found some trace of it in the liver. If he had taken any for a syphi litic affection, I should have expeoted to have found it, and if taken within a few hours of death, I should have expected some traces of it would have been found from its slowly passing through the body. Three or four grains taken then, I should have expected, would have been traced. I recollect finding it on the liver on one occasion 24 hours after being taken ; half a grain had been taken daily for four days previous to death. I have heard the evidence relative to Mrs. Smith's death ; that of Agnes Sinnett, Mrs. Dove, and the gentleman about whom Dr. Moore gave evidence, and I coincide with them in opinion that the three former died from strych nia. Mr. Cook's symptoms were of a similar character to those referred to. As a professor of medical science, I know of no other disease to which Cook's death can lie attributed than that it, arose from strychnia. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—The term trace means a small quantity ; but I do not use it in that term now. The whole which we found was about half a grain. That would not cause death. The tests are used for antimony after obtaining the deposit by boiling the animal matter. Nothing but arsenic orantimony would de posit upon the copper. We found no sublimate of arsenic. We next used the test of sulphuretted hydrogen, and after 24 hours there was a deposit of a reddish colour, like rut phuret of antimony, and was soluble in hydra-chloric acid. He then described the tests employed, which produced a deposit, which, upon being (dissolved in hydro-01106c acid, converted the black precipitate into antimonial acid. An inaccuracy in the long pro• cess or badness of the instrument might affect the experiment. The antimony which I found might have been taken 3 weeks before. I should think anti mony gets quicker out of the body of an animal than a man. lam acquainted with the works of Orfile. He was one of the most esteemed chemists. He makes mention of a deg in whose body after it had lived 4 months, was found to contain antimony, but that dog took 45 grains. That was a large dose, and some of the dogs died who had taken the dose. I never knew of a case of such a quantity being taken. We cannot clearly tell when it gets out of the body. I was first applied to about this body upon the 21st of November ; it was by Mr. Warrington. I did not know Gardner. I havo not had any previous cases at Rogeley. Mr. Stevens and Boycott brought in the jar with the contents of the stomach. I wrote a letter in answer, giving my opinion of the cause of death. The letter was here read, and went on to state that the contents of the stomach did not give the pre sence of either strycbnia, prussic acid, or opium ; but that the deceased might have died from the effects of anti mony. A man will vomit upon first taking anti mony—part will go out by the bowels and part by the urine. Orfile inclines to the opinion that in from 4 to 17 hours it passes out from the urine. I believe I was justified in coming to the opinion that Cook might have died from antimony. The quantity found in the body does not always prove the cause of death. Any antimonial preparation, taken judiciously or injudiciously, might have given the results of antimony which we arrived at. James's powder, or any such preparation, might have left enough in the system. The accounts which I received of Cook's death guided me in the opinion I came to, that he, Cook, might have died from the effects of antimony. Mr. Sergeant Shee—Do you allow yourself to be di rected in the opinion you arrive at by hearsay statements? —A man may die from many sorts of poisons. The learned professor explained that an account of how a man died would tend to assist and direct him in the analysis, but not influence the opinion of such analysis beyond guiding him in the conclusions drawn, that the symptoms exhibited by the deceased had been caused by whatever poison might be traced. I was not at the inquest on Cook at its commencement. Some of the evidence was read over to me. Dr. Har land was being examined. I also beard Dr. Bamford, Lavinia Barnes, and Elizabeth Mills examined. I had not experimented on the rabbits before I went to the in quest. Five of the rabbits were experimented on 25 Tars ago. I had a great objection to destroy life ex- NA in extrercp . cases. My last experiments_were made lalter the inquest. I - don't consider a rabbit an unfair lIIMS. .11•1111E....b test ; dogs are not so good. They are not so dangerous to handle. I think the rabbits as good as any animal, as the poison is retained and the effects aro ►isible. I attended the inquest and suggested questions. They were put to the witnesses. I remember Roberts being examined, but, I only paid attention to the medical part of the case. I did not hear Roberts say strychatia bad been bought, bat I knew it had been bought on the Tuesday from Mr. Gardner's letter to me, and, it was with that knowledge, and after hearing some of the evi dence, that I gave my opinion. Sergeant Ghee—l think., my lord, we ought here to have the witness's depositions read. The Lord Chief Justice —Very well. The Clerk tien road the evidence given by Dr. Alfred Taylor at the inquest held on Mr. Cook. Examination continued—l returned to town hum.• diately after giving my evidence, .and the prisoner was committed for wilful murder. I thought it my duty to abstain from all discussion calculated to influence the public mind. I wrote a letter to the Lancet cumtradiet. Mg, some statements that had been made. Tho letter was here read. It was one comp' &icing of certain statements, and also rniEquotations t.Liat had ben made from his evidence. Tile court adjourned for a quarter of an hour.. Ou the jury returning to their box, The cro?s-exarninatiou of Dr. Taylor was t' en pro. needed with. The last portion of the letter Wii3 strictly correct, and it was still his opinion.

He Lad no prejudice against the mss t, but ha had a, duty to the community as well as to the _prisoner to peform. [The witness was under examination when we. went to press.] THE MILITARY BOARD OF InITIRY. (This Day.) The Board of General (dicers met for the twenty. third time this morning at Chelsea Hospital. Captain Heath, R.&., proceeded to comment upon certain passages in the report of the Crimean Commis sioneis, in which they stated that Colonel Gordon ita his evidence before Sir J. M.Reil complained that Captain Heath, as the principal agent cf transports, ha I caused considerable inconveniences to those w h ) might wish to communicate with him, by living on board a war steamer in Cossack Bay, orntside the Harbour of Balaklava, instead of on board a transport in the Harbour of Balaklava itself, With reference to this paragraph, he contended that as his duties were of a very various nature, and that as he had a great deal to engage his attentiion be sides the mere transport service connected with Vats har boor of Balaklava, he could much better discha rge his duties on board a war steamer in Cossack Bay Ilium t board a transport at Balaklava. And with rega rd to any inconvenience to which the commissariat (Impart ment was put to by his being outside the harbour, he begged to state that it took about five minutes for a bat to pull from the wharves to Cossack Bay, while messengers for the service were to be. met with in plenty. With reference to a further statement of Colonel Gordon that • the station chosen by him (Capt. Heath) and sanctioned by Admiral Lyons, was the means of creating inconvenience in the em barka ticas of the sick and wounded officers at Balaklava, he begged to give that statement a complete denial, and to hand in statements from the officers who had superin tended the embarkation of the sick and woun ifod, in proof that every possible care had been displayed in tbat service by him. Col. Gordon said that everything stated by him to the Commissioners was perfectly correct, with the exception perhaps of some of the details of the navy, in which Captain Heath had declined to furnish certain reports similar to those which were supplied by his predecessor, Captain Christie. He might be in some error en con nection with this matter, but with regard to tle em barkation of sick and wounded officers, he had been in formed that they had often been put to great ii monve thence by having to seek Capt. Heath outside the har bour, in order to ascertain what ship they were to em hark in. Besides, immediately Capt. Heath 1 eft an office was, put up ou shore, so as to do away wii;h this inconvenience. General Airey had spoken to Lord Raglan on the subject, and he in turn to Admiral Lyons, who promised to call the attention of Capt. Heath to the subject, but he (Col. Gordon) could not say whether he did so. In reply to General Peel, Capt. Heath stated that he had adhered to his instructions, and that if he had been inside the harbour he could not have fulfilled his general duties so well as in Cossack Bay. A good deal of conversation followed between Colonel Gordon and Capt. Heath, in the course of which the latter complained of the unjustifiable manner jet which Colonel Gordon sometimes wrote him ; and Colonel Gordon, in reply, asserting that his letters were always perfectly civil and proper in their tone. Colonel Mackenzie was then examined by the Board, and stated that he was often put to great inconvenience by the absene9 of Captain Heath's ve ssel from Balstklava, and he had known sick officers to be put to great incon venience from the same cause. In reply to General Peel, Captain Heath stated that he would have deputed the power of signing orders for the admission of sick and wounded officers on board transports, but that it was unnecessary to do so, as there were transports its har bour who had orders to receive all wounded officers who might present themselves. Captain Heath repeated, nevertheless, that he hadi re peatedly seen such officers taken to the sides of trans port ships, and brought back again, because they had no embarkation orders. In reply to the Judge-Advocate, Captain Heath admitted that General Airey wrote to him, complaining of his position in Cossack Bay, but that he (Capt. Heath) then spoke about it to Lord Rag. lan, who approved of his conduct in remaining on board. a war sbeatuer outside of the harbour of Balaklava. METROPOLITAN C !ITTLE MARKET.

Downs in the wool sold as high as 5s 10i —out of the wool; 53 4d per 8 lbs. More than three-fourths of the sheep were out of the wool. The supply of lambs was but moderate.

CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. This establishment has exactly hit the taste of th• holiday folks. Money is nightly turned from the doom. The revival of " Uncle Tom's CAL)," with the powerful caste of Character, added to the superior manner it is placed on the stage, has gained golden opinions ; while " Life in Louden ; As it Was, and As it Is, " alapted by Mr. Nelson Lee, has created qui to a furore. " Tom Cribb's Parlou.r," as of old, introduc ing Harry Orme, Johnny Walker, Billy Duncan, and Sam Millard, from Birmingham, who illustrate the art of self-defence in a most scientific manner. We ad vise all those lovers of the manly art to witness this dis play ; it is managed most respectfully, reminding ns strongly of the palmy days of the prize ring and the Five] Court as of old. The theatre has lately been at tended by many of the nobility and aristocracy from the West-end. The style of management at the City would do credit to theatres of much greater protensions. The Hague official journal announces that the Arch duke Maximilian of Austria is to arrive iz that city on the 4th June. We have received the Madrid Gazette of the 12th, the only paper published on Monday, brit it con Lairs nothing of political importance. It is supposed by the Paris journals that by the let of August there will not remain a foreign soldier on the Russian territory. M. KOSSUTH'S VISIT TO BRADFORD.-----We rejoice in announcing the fact, that the proceeds of the two lectures deiivered in St. George's Hall, Bradford, on the Austrian Concordat, amounted to 2051. ; and, more over, that the expenses incurred having been defrayed by a committee of local gentlemen, a cheque for this sum will be handed to the illustrious Magyar.—Leas EXTENSIVE FORGERIES.—At the High Court of Justi ciary, Edinburgh, on Friday last., before the Lord Jus tice G-eneral, Lords Cowan, and Handyside, Jacob Chris tiansen, lately shipbroker, of Leith, was char ged . with the forgery of seven bills of exchange, amount i ng in all to about 3,770/. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for life. EXECUTION OF THE MURDERERS OF MISS The execution of James Murphy and Tilanik; Dann, convicted at the rece nt special commission, the former for the actual mu rder of Miss Hinds, and the latter for conspiring with others to procure the perpetration of that crime, took place on Saturday in front of the gaol at Cavao. ADELPHI THEATRE.—Mr. Carter, the well-known treasurer of this theatre, has announced his annual benefit for Wednesday next, and on which occasion the celebrated drama of the "Green Bushes" will be played. The respect ge nera lly en t er tained f o r the beneficiaire willinsure him a crowded house. SADLER'S WELLS ENGLISH OPERA.—Mr. Howard Glover begins his long.announced series of English operatic performances this evening with Balfe's Bohemian Girl, for which additional music has been written by the popular composer, who will make his first appearance in England after a long absence, and conduct his own opera. The cast, including Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves, Mr. Delevanti, Mr. Weiss, and Miss Poole, is very strong ; and these eminent singers will be supported by an orchestra carefully selected from the Italian Opera bands, comprising such artistes as Tolbecque, Remusat, Maycock, Heussier (a new bassoon-player of celebrity from Paris), Tbirlwall, Calkin, Collins, &c., and by a chorus also drawn from the best sources. W.e hope that this spirited undertaking will be attended with success.
