It is respectfully announced that the OPERA. SEASON Neill COMMENCE on SATURDAY next, the 10th of May. • On resuming the performances which have been suspended during the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's Theatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and the public that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for e• establishment that so long maintained; and lie trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour al d support 'which no frequenter of tho Opera needs to be ntimincled were for so many years accorded to a brilliant and successful manairevaent. The secession, in .1847, of many of those performers who bad long been, attached to the Opera Nouse was the com mencement of a long and arduous struggle to maintain the fortudes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of . four successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled to retire from the contest. From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient home. He has received liberal encouragement from every side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support from a quarter where the refinemmts of art and taste never fail to find a patron, be is now enabled gratefully to announce the immediate resumption of performances. At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present season. Her Majesty's Theatre is marled out by its size, its situa . tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera. In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some happy accident of construction a result has been attained that science has failed to explain. and that no architect.could engage to reprqdnec, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate vocafigation• penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re motest recesses of, the vast edifice. The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy of the former reputution of .the Theatre, and of the just ex pectations of its disting,uished'supporters. • Iu consequence of the late polio 1 at which it was resolved to open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is Loped they will even now be found, are not yet fully com pleted; and negotiations are in progress from which impor tant accessions arc expected. The following arrangements have been completed :- 0 P E RA. s tO•dgi i iis O ld. III! j fire The trawl sloop . Fawn brought into Plymouth yester day Morning Capt.

That pori.m of Buckingham Palace which contains the new apartment were c , mstructed, from the design and under the direction of Mr. J Pannethorne, archi tect, by the late Mr. Thomas Cubitt. The sculptures which adorn them are the work ( , f Mr. W. Theed, and the decorations have been carried out from the designs and under the sop-rintendence of Mr. Lewis Gruner, who availed himself of the services of Mr. A. Miller and Signor Canzuni at Rome. A branch of the grand staircase of the palace leads to the first apartment, called the promenade gallery, a room 95 feet in length and 31 in height, with a coved roof, from which the apartment receives its light ; this, like all the other rooms, is decorated in the style used in Italy during the 16th century, usually called " cinque unto." The lower part represents an open gallery with vases filled with flowers under its arches ; above these a series of panels has been introduced with chiaroscuro paint ings .srhe s ef tog Theed, otat e tloni 'e. apartments,l gallery y a d r admits h( n i placed a pi tcrEsei principal Eight h a)tooauncli along the colossal d on te a , hw l tehao, classicalhowever, . oe n marble columns.b y lN 1 i other n ve e rwt,o ante-r oom i t s he b y b nq i a u r e g t t e e • and richly-gilt folding door into the ball and concert room, opposite to the staircase entrance. The ball and concert-room itself is an oblong square, measuring 112 Let by 60, without the two recesses at the east and west ends ; the height is 43 feet. At the end towards the west a bold arch, supported by Corin thian columns, and surmounted by emblematical figures of Fame holding a me d a lli on, upon which are the pro files of the Queen a n d P r i nce, rises above her Majesty's seat. The lunette formed by this arch will ultimately be filled by a copy from Raphael's Parnassus ; for the present occasior, eo never, it has been decorated by an allegorical composition, representing "Britannia sanc tioning Peace," exemplified by children with branches of olive, while a rising lion indi , atee the watchfulness and the strength of the nation. At the opposite end another arch, but without enrichments, confines a similar recess, containing the orchestra and a r i c hl y -decorated organ. At the foot of this and along the two sides of the room a triple row of seat, covered with red silk, extends, which with the other furniture of the apartments was fur nished by Messrs. Johnstone and Jeanes. The roof of this a nertment rests on a wide cove enriched with stuccoes ; double beams of considerable projection running parallel and transverse divide the whole roof into 21 compart ments, each of which is shaped into a deep octagon rece,s, from which descends a glass lustre for gaslights. Th e lustres have been executed by Messrs. Osier, of Birming ham. Below the cove a cornice and frieze richly ornanaente d in stucco separates the walls from the ceiling. The upper part of each of the two side walls is divided into 13 com partments, seven of which are the wi n d ows, which at b i g ht are filled with gaslight, and six are sur roun d e d I with large borders, and represent figures of the hours, taken from sketches by Raphael and executed above life size by Professor N. Conzoni at Rome, where the origi nals are existing.

STATE OF TRADE. —MANCHESTER, May I.—The mat Let continues firm, but quiet. While buyers hold aloof fr .im operations, under an impression that the cotton-mar het must soon give way, and that manufacturers will th en be easier to deal with, the latter are in many cases with drawing such limited stocks as they possess from th e market, under an impression that will be safe to held over. 1110ra timid men of business on both sides are willing to meet each other half way, and here there is little business doing at easier prices. Gen era ll y speak , kg, however, the market is inactive. The same remark applies to yarns.

PLYMOUTH, Thursday Evening, 11 p.m.—For some weeks past rumours of disaffection in the 3d Jager Corps have been in circulation, and the sudden removal of the main body of the men from Maker Heights on Saturday last confirmed these reports. It is stated that a com plaint, written by a serjeant, against the severe disci pline of Col. Bowles, has been the subject of a length ened inquiry at Mount Wise ; and it is certain that No. 6 Company, commanded by Captain Axel von Jesse°, stationed at Bovisand, took offence at the arrest of the serjeanr, grounded their arms, and refused to do duty. This afternoon, at 4 o'clock, that comp an y con sisting of about 65 men, were marched into Plymouth Citadel, and, having piled arms on the green, went to their appointed barrack-rooms, where a guard of militia was immediately placed over them. The town at this time was alarmed V the knowledge that double guards had been mounted in the citade l and all civilians ex cluded, and that'ball-cartridge tad been served outlto Captain Waller's compa n y of Artillery at Devonport, who, with a field-officer a nd a bod y of marines, similarly provided, and taking with them the triangles, cats, and drummers from Stonehouse, marched to the cit a d e l h ere, a.si,ted by every m an off duty t.elonging to the S ou th Devon and Warwickshire regiments of militi a . H av i ng formed in hollow square, Major - General Eden, Com mander of the Forces in the W st, attended by Brigade- Major Ibbetson, Aide-de-Canv Parker, Colonel Com mandant Burdget, and Colonel Nelson, shortly after arrived on the ground. A. corporal and two privates were then removed from the 7:OOMS and placed on trial f 1 by a court-martial, presid e d over b y M a j or S ea l e , w hi c h sat up till 9 o'clock, when a serjeant and tour privates were brought before th e C ourt, an d are s till un der ex amination. The troops were dismissed, after standing three hour s on parade. The disaffected Jagers complain that their drill is too severe, and that they were only enlisted for service while the %liar continued. Mr. Gordon Cumming's African Entertainment re ce.:ved a •visit yesterday Irorn H. R.N. the Prince of Wa'es and H.R.H. Prince Alfred, accompanied by Mr. The Lion Hunter appeared in full Highland enstur tie, as usual, and explained to his rayal visitors the di ore views illustrative of the varied romantic scene] !)-„the manners and customs of the savage tribes, and L i sth rtling encounters with the wild animals hick roam the m:glity solitudes of the far interior. The Prince s seem ed to to ke great interest in the diorama and collec tion., and sip reseed themselves as much amused by Mr. Cu' .nming's eL•tertainment. This unhappy struggle, the most severe and wide-spread which has ever been known in Soot land, continues without the slightest prospect of amicable adjustment, although there are indications that the men are getting worn out by privation and long endurance. The strike became general' among the colliers and miners of the upper and middle wards of Lanarkshire ou the Bth of March last. It gradually extended to the lower ward, and then embraced the counties of Renfrew and Ayr, with the mining districts of Stirlingshire, until now, when it is computed that for some weeks past 40,000 men have been voluntarily idle, and an amount of wages equalling 320,0001. has been lost to them and to the country. The strike, as is generally known, is against a reduction of wages. In the autumn of 1855 the wages of the colliers were advanced from 4s. to ss. per day; but in the early spring of the present year the masters intimated that the state of the market, consequent upon the termination of the war, required that they should fall back upon the old rate of wages, which would even then,at 4s. per day, be as high as any, and higher than most other districts in the coun try—for instance, in the adjoining coal-fields of Cumberland, where the wages are only 3s. 6d. per day. The masters also complain that the men arbitrarily fix a day's work at what is termed a " darg," an amount of labour which neither old nor young, weak nor strong, are permitted to exceed. All are thus reduced to the same level, and the young man who can do his day's " darg" in five hours is not permitted to earn more than the old man who takes nine or ten hours to perform the same amount of labour. This is proved by the example of the few collieries where the men have had the courage to throw off these restrictions, and where at the nominal " darg" of 4s. they can earn from ss. to 7s. per day. The men on strike argue that the state of the iron•market, for the smelting of which the coal is principally raised, fully justifies the former rate of ss. per day being paid ; that the reduction is reckless and unnecessary ; that with a due regard to their health. they cannot work more than 41 or 5 days a-week, and their wages are greatly reduced by keeping up their tools, the ex pense of powder, &c. They say that while the coal and iron-masters are making immense riches at their expense they treat them heartlessly, and they point to such men as the Bairds of Gartsherrie, the Wil sons of Dundyvan, and the Merrios and Cunning hams of Carnbrae, &c., who 25 years ago wore in a comparatively humble position, and have now be come millionnaires. Reasoning of this kind is, as usual, artfully improved upon by a parcel of un principled spouters, and the men stand out for what they term their " rights" with all the devo tion of martyrs. Now, that their own means have become completely exhausted, they are making appeals to other trades, but it is believed that their assistance from this source is trifling. They have monster meetings:in various parts of the country daily, and express their determination to stand out to the last; but on Monday the miners at Newmills returned to their work at the rate of 4s. per day, and it is known that thousands of others would readily follow their example but for false pride and intimidation. On the whole, the conduct of the miners has been pretty orderly, but in the fane of so many men, women, and children in a state of starvation—self-imposed though it may be —the inhabitants of the mining districts are in a very uneasy condition, and they fear an outbreak before all is settled. There are 2,000 armed men located throughout Lanarkshire, consisting of the Lanarkshire and Glasgow Regiments of Yeomanry Cavalry, the two regiments of Lanarkshire Militia and a body of Dragoons, who arrived from England on Monday. All the inhabitants of these districts are suffering severely from the disruption of trade. The inhabitants of Glasgow also feel it severely, for the price of coals during the last week has risen from 12s. 6d. to 265. the waggon. The col liers themselves who are on strike are cutting down trees on the fields and roadsi des to serve as fuel. is the state of mat ters at thejunc ture. Such ch APPOINTMENTS. M. G.

The Cambria brings accounts from Canada to the 21st ult. The Grand Trunk Railway continued to he tile absorbing subject of interest in the province. Violent debates had taken place in the legislature respecting it. Members of the government were accused of being the paid agents of the Grand Trunk Railway Company and of the contractors, and various returns had been moved for to throw light on the matter. The Hon. John Ross, the President of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, bad retired from the Government, of which he was also a member. Mr. Brassey's claim for a guarantee by the govern ment on the shares of the Grand Trunk Railway Company was treated with derision by the legisla ture ; and on an objection by Mr. Brown to the 250,000/. being asked for to meet the defalcations of this company until the house was in possession of more information on the subject, the Hon. Attorney- General Macdonald said: "It was no matter whether the Grand Trunk Company were unable or un willing to pay the interest on the o bligations of the province. If they did not pay, the province must protect its own credit. If it were ultimately found that the contractors wore in a position , to pay, the law would be enforced against them. There ap peared to be an unanimous determination on the part of the legislature to uphold the honour and credit of the province, and to raise the necessary taxes to provide for meeting its engagements. The Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway Bill had passed through the committee of the legislature and would no doubt become law. It appears that the Grand Trunk Company are not the only defaulters in their engagements to the Government, the On tario and Lake Huron Railway Company, and also several municipalities have been unable to pay the interest on the Government loans, and this has rendered it necessary for the province to provide 50,0 i O/. in addition to the 200,000/. per annum required by the default of the Grand Trunk Com pany.
