riKONEY M AND COTiRCIAL INTELLIGENO IIVIE 4 CITY. Two o'ctooll The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly, and prices of Am ereians were the same as on Friday. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for ex port. Saturday was observed as a close holiday in the Liverpool Share Market. The Paris weekly commercial report states that the restrictions bearing upon the discount of com mercial paper during the last two months bad created some anxiety as the 31st of October ap proached. The engagements due on that date, however, have been generally well met, so that trade has not been so much embarrassed by the Bank resolutions as was anticipated. Notwith standing the apprehensions abroad of some pending crisis in commercial affairs, trade, though limited, is sound and healthy ; and the effects of the ex treme reserve on all sides to purchase no merchan dise beyond actual wants is now experienced. The manufacturers and retailers are not burthened with heavy unsaleable stocks ; and although business continues dull there is no fear of any serious crisis in commercial affairs at the close of the year. Sales have been active in particular departments, and the public are begin ning to purchase stuffs for the winter season. The advices from the manfacturing departments state that the high prices of raw materials continue to check the increase of trade, and many looms have been stopped at Lyons in consequence of the high prices asked for raw silks. A corresponding ad vance in wool and cotton has paralysed business at Rouen and Mulhouri, which has been added to by the unfavourable advices from the English manu facturing districts. The English Funds, partly owing to the specie arrived .. a n d expecte d , have improved, but much of the buoyancy now apparent has been produced by speculative purchases, and the closing of ac counts by those who had speculated for a decline. The general appearance of the market is animated, and a largo business has been done this morning not only in the Funds, but in railway shares and other kinds of speculative securi ties. Consols for money have been 921 93, 931 These have also been about the values for the Gth inst. The price for December is about 934 :7.

Seeing the ready appreciation the public have mani fested for designs of a high order of merit in other branches of art - manufacture, it is singular that our Eng lish manufacturers of watches overlooked the importance of superior art-designs for their productions. The fact is, that costliness of material ..0 perfection of mechanism in the smallest compass seem heretofore to have been looked upon as the exclusive standards by h a w a t c h could be judged, the ornamentation being consid ere d o f no importance —it often happening t the plainest design is found embellishing the highest order of mechanism and material. Indeed, most frequently it appears that the embellishments of a watch were rather the result of a mere whim than of any consideration of th e appropriateness of the design for the article. ha T e e fair i n f erence is that our watch manufacturers yet to learn the canons of art and the rules of good taste in the embellishment of their productions. At all events they have heretofore been inattentive to the fact that the watch, as an article which is generally cherished as an object of affection, has its value much enhanced by embellishments which will bear the scrutiny of the educatedowev taste. Significant signs of improvement are, er, indicated by at least one manufacturer, who . announces that he has made the artistic embellishment of his watches a matter of special Study As bservers of progress in all departments of art and manufacturer, we feel much pleasure in aeding our teetininny.to-the.fine taste which has been 'displayed in tlueetr eejt. i designs for ornamenting watches by mr. on of i lt e rtist n ic of 33 and 34, Ludgate-bill, the manufacturer referrendeot; a long established City manufacturer, quality of his Productions Mr. Benson, as has gained a reputation for the . 'which stands seeond to none in the City. ARKET TH SHARE MARKETS THE COAncT _ROBSON. Within half-an-hour of sentence having been pro nounced, this unhappy man, stripped of his ordinary habili men t s an d c l ot h e d i n a convict's dress, b ecame the associate of half-a-dozen other transports. The callous indifference to his position which Robson exhibited during his trial wag carried out to the last moment. While the jury were deliberating, it wa s remarked, that instead of looking towards them, the prisoner employed himself scribbling upon a sheet of foolscap paper. Thin sheet was afterwards handed round the bar, and upon it were the following observa tions :—"lf I am found guflty upon this charge, I will not plead again, but take my chance. Johnson has completely sold me--lieney Johnson, of Birming ham." In one corner of the shoet the convict sketched a very good likeness of his brother-in -lave, having thus engaged himself while Mr. Justice Erle was passing sentence upon him. Even this extraordinary conduct will scarcely be matter of surprise when it is stated that, after having decamped from Mr. Fasson, the accountant of the Crystal Palace, at his own residence, on the 17th of September, Robson drove direct to a famous West end tavern, which he was then in the habit of frequenting, and ordered dinner for himself and a lady who joined him du r i ng t h e afternoon. The dinner consisted of fish, Curry, and a braoe of partridges ; and while it was being served, Rob son , a dd ress i ng t h e waiter, said, " I am t i .tlrrY Mr. ---- has sent me curry, for I never eat it. That ray ve ry him t o remem b er this when I dine here again." e l'Y Right the unhappy man left Engl rom jutice and a fugitive firnis DAY.) RAIL WAYS. Closing Prices this day. iI•ILWAYB. .A.mbg.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday exhibited only moderate supplies of home-grown wheat, in which a limited business was transacted at about stationary prices. There was a fair demand for malting barley at full quota tions. lu most other kinds of produce only limited sales took place, on former terms. The continental markets continue dull for wheat on ra ther lower terms. Our New York advices state that large shipments of wheat were being made to England. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports of foreign produce were 13,378 quarters of wheat, 3,374 barley, 10,316 oats, 168 beans, 50 peas, 4,000 linseed, 1,050 rapeseed, mustard seed, 705 sundry seeds, and 6,336 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day there was a slight increase in the arri vals of wheat from Kent, and the condition of the samples showed signs of improvement. From Essex, the receipts were again limited. On the whole, the show of samples was moderately good. As the attendance of both town and country millers was rather limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and in most transactions prices were fully 2s:per qr lower than on this day se'cnnight. Wo were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Although the amount of business doing for home use was limited, im porters were firm, ana several rather larger parcels afloat, as well as in granary, were disposed of, for shipment to the continent, at very full prices. Fine barley was scarce and in request, at fully late rates. Grinding and distilling sorts sold slowly, yet tho quota tions were supported. The show of Malt was but moderate. The trade, how ever, was less active, at prices barely equal to those real ized on Monday last. The show of oats was by no means extensive. Good sound corn moved off steadily, at late rates; but damp samples ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. . _ . Beans and peas were in . moderate supply and fair re quest, at full quotations. _ _ . Fine flour supported former terms. Inferior country marks were dull, and rather easier to purchase.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were moderate, the total supply being 7,037 head. In the cor responding week in 1855 we received 7,885 ; in 1854, 7,721; in 1853, 7,712; in 1852, 6,117; in 1851, 7,602; and in 1850, 6,072 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WENN. From Beasts. Sheep.

Our own breeds, however, continue very deficient in quality, considering that the supply of food has been so abundant. There was a full average time-otyear supply of beasts on sale in to-day's market as to number, but their general quality was inferior. For the primest breeds we had a fair demand, at prices quite equal to those realised on Monday last. Otherwise, the beef trade ruled heavy, and inferior stocks declined in value 2d per 81bs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d per Bibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton. shire we have received 2,300 short horns; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 20 Scots ; and from Ireland, 650 oxen. The supply of most breeds of sheep was moderately good. Prime Downs and half-breds were in fair request, but all other breeds moved off slowly, and in some in- stances the quotations gave way 2d per Sibs. The best old Downs were worth 5s per 81bs. We were scantily supplied with both English and foreign calves, in which a moderate business was transacted, at last week's prices. The pork trade was steady. •In the quotations no change took place. _ _ - ... - ... 45 ... - -- •.• 30 ... . s• ••-• Per 817 ea to sink the offal.. s. d. e. d. e. d. s: 0.

We regret to announce the death of Sir John Jervis, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. This me lancholy event took place, as we are informed, on Satur day night, and, we believe, had been foreseen for some time, though so speedy a termination to the disease with which Sir John Jervis was affected was not expected. That disease had latterly assumed the form of atrophy, itself merely the result of a long period of delicate health, by which a constitution naturally robust was gradually impaired and undermined. Before his elevation to the Chief Justiceship, an event which took place in the year 1850, the late Sir John Jervis was distinguished more for his general ability,— for his quickness and dexterity as an advocate, than for any special knowledge of the law or profound acquaint ance with its origin and principles. He was no black letter lawyer, perhaps, but he was a most shrewd and ready counsel; and this quality, which he possessed in a pre-eminent degree, and the want of which has con demned many a profound black-letter lawyer to vegetate inseen—a legal cactus—in Stone-buildings or Figtree court, procured for Sir Johu Jervis not only a large share of professional emolument, but ultimately raised him to one of the highest stations on the bench. It may not, perhaps, be generally known that the late Chief Justice served for some time in the army before trying his fortune at the bar. Being induced, we know not from what cause, to change his profession, he was called to the bar in the year 1824, went the Oxford and Chester circuits, and soon attracted attention by his ability. Becoming a Queen's Counsel, and his reputation still continuing, he was raised to the dignity of Attorney- General in the year 1846, an office which he filled with great capacity in a very trying time, as our readers will remember when we remind them that Sir John Jervis was Attorney-General in the year 1848, and that he suc ceeded, without a single exception, in convincing those misguided political offenders who then attempted to dis turb the public peace. In 1850 he was raised to the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas, in succession to Lord Truro, who was raised to the Chancellorship. It was feared by many that an advocate by some thought un scrupulous, and, at any rate, distinguished by dexterity rather than profundity, might not have worn the ermine of the bench with becoming gravity and impartiality. This fear, we are bound to say, proved entirely without foundation. The common sense which Sir J. Jervis pos sessed in addition to his great professional experience kept him clear of all judicial blunders, and in criminal matters, which form so large a portion of judicial duties, an abler judge in all probability never sat on the bench. His sagacity and acuteness here found a fitting field, and his dexterity and sound practical sense stood him in good stead, whether in detecting crime or in exposing the fallacies put forward by counsel. In his purely legal decisions he showed the same qualities, and we believe we only utter the opinion of that profession which this day meets together after the long vacation in Westmin ster-hall when we say that in all respects the late Sir J. Jervis was an excellent judge. In politics we need hardly say that the late Chief Jus tice was a Liberal. He sat for Chester from 1832 to 1850, and invariably voted with his party, except on one or two occasions about the year 1836, when he thought him self ill-used by the Government, who refused him, as we have heard, an Indian judgeship. In this, as in so much else in life, what seems to a man injustice is often good fortune in an unkind shape. His health would not pro bably have withstood the change to a tropical climate, and certainly, had he quitted England for a seat on the Indian bench, he would never have lived to rise to be one of the chief judicial dignitaries of the mother country. An Indian Judgeship is, no doubt, a high dignity, bat is also a high "shelf," and when a man has been on a high shelf for 20 years in a tropical cli mate he may be fit for many things, but he is off the rail of promotion which runs through Westminster hall, and can hardly expect to rise to the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas, It is expected that, as is customary in such cases, the ♦acant judgeship will be offered to Sir Alexander Cockburn, her Majesty's Attorney-General. RESIGNATION OF MR. BARON PLATT. We are informed that Mr. Baron Platt has resigned his seat as a Baron of the Exchequer. Mr. Watson, Q.C., is spoken of as likely to become the new judge. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. ROYAL YACHT SQUTDROZTINTELLIGHNCE.—The build ings at Cowes Castle to adapt it for a club-house for the Royal Yacht Squadron are proceeding most satisfactorily. The present fine weather has very much favoured the work, and, from the great strength of men set on the work, there is great probability of the buildings, though so massive and extensive, being finished in the time agreed on. PUBLIC RIGHTS.— A great sensation has been created in Cowes by a notice from the Royal Yacht Squadron to the local Board of Health of their intention of closing the roads at the front and at the back of the Castle one day at least in every year, and at their having erected two stone piers, one on each side of the upper road, to fix chains on, and thus exclude the public. As these roads are the only ones leading from the town to the baths, the public esplanade, and to several noblemen and gen tlemen's houses, and to Mrs. Goodwin's cottages in the West Cliff, and have always been open, the inhabitants have resolved to remove any obstructions to the road by force, and resolutions of the Local Board have bean car ried to that effect. The Secretary to the Royal Yacht Squadron has written an explanatory letter, stating that the club is bound by its lease to close the roads and ex clude the public from using them one day at the least in every year, and enclosed an extract from the lease to that effect. He also adds, "I hope this will be satis factory ; if not, allow me to remind the board that, if it should at all be deemed necessary for the Royal Yacht Squadron to close the road for 20, 50, or 100 days In the year, it is competent for it to do so." This letter has not made matters better. The Local Board has memo rialised the Woods and Forests. The inhabitants con sider that a more tyrannical proceeding could not be taken even in Russia, and are determined to bring the matter before Parliament rather than submit. The Go vernment is not likely to get much by this anti-liberal move. The yachting season has been brought to a close, and the numerous yachts that graced our roadstead have now their keels fast in the mud of the Medina. Sir H. B. Hoghton's schooner yacht " Gipsy Queen" has been hauled up on Hansen's slip for repairs, &c. The "Titania" is refitting for a voyage to the Mediterranean ; the "Coquette" is also refitting. Algernon Greville, Esq., has purchased a steam yacht of about 70 tons. Mr. Houldsworth has purchased the "Julia," 111 tons, late the property of W. Pearith, Esq. W. Tomlin, Esq., has purchased the schooner "Coral Queen," of 117 tons, late the property of the Earl of Selkirk. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—The burial-ground attached to St. Mary's church, West Cowes, was closed this day, Ist November. It had been used as a burialground for more than 200 years, and it is a curious circumstance that the first person buried in it was a man by the name of Denham, and the last a woman of the same name. MFTNICIPAL ELECTIONS. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—Much excitement prevailed in the contested wards to-day, viz., Lime street and Everton and Kirkdale, in both of which the liberal candidates were elected, Mr. J. B. Lloyd giving place in the former to Mr. J. R. Jeffrey, and Mr. Still being elected by a majority of 16 over Mr. Longton in the latter. The liberal party are in high spirits at the re sult, as it gives them two additional votes. OXFORD.—Of the ten Councillors elected flur are Radicals, four Liberal Conservatives, and two Tories. The Town Council now consists of 24 Liberals and 14 - Conservatives. BEVERLEY.-Fiv staunch Liberals have been returned and one Tory. The Tories made a tremendous effort to return three of their candidates, as that would have enabled them to elect the aldermen. They also tried hard to oust Mr. Boyes and Mr. Hind, but could not succeed. After the 10th inst. the council will consist of 15 Liberals, 7 Tories, and 2 nondescripts. The result of the poll was as under : Minster Ward. Liberals. Tories. Mr. J. Hind 342 I Mr. W. Cathereon 276 J. Thompson.— 325 J. Vicars IJ. Walker 3ll T. Oxley St. Mary's Ward. Liberals. Tories. Mr. D. Boyer ...... 215 I Mr. C. Fox C. Brereton .. 196 I C. Arden J. Watson 163 I 11. Barkworth.... 167 Great enthusiasm prevails in the town. Music, tar barrels, fireworks, and other demonstrations are now going on. NEW MAYORS.—For Manchester it is expected that Mr. ,Tames Watts, and for Salford Mr. Stephen ITeelis, the present Mayors, will consent to take office a second year, and as this compliment has been usual in most previous cases their re-election may be regarded as almost certain. MANCHESTER.—There were contests in only five out of the fifteen wards, only one of which resulted in the election of a new member. Tbis was in St. Michael's ward, for which Mr. Pratt, auctioneer, was elected, in place of Mr. Warburton, by a majority of five. There are four other new councillors, through voluntary re tirements, and these consist of Mr. R. Rumney, manu facturing chemist ; Mr. J. Ryder, gentleman ; Mr. G. M'Connel?, gentleman ; and Mr, -Tames King, cotton spinner, COURT OF EX CHEQUER. (Before Mr. Baron Alders ou and Mr. Baron Martin.) Mr. Baron Alderson, w" no presided in the absence of the Lord Chief Baron, aF ,ked the learned gentlemen of the bar if they had anythi lag to move, but none of them had anything to move but Mr. Hance, who wished his motion to stand over for Mr. Watson's attendance to. morrow., Baron Alderson es id, Mr. Hance had better go on with his motion, or Z Ir. Watson to-morrow might bay. to decide against him. By this i❑timation i would appear that Mr. Watson has received his appoi.utratnt of one of the Barons of the Exchequer in room, of Mr. Baron Platt, resigned. The Court then adj')urned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Geulburn.) His Honour was the Commissioner, but all the emelt were dividends of no irderest. I/I I RE EVINS. Mr. Dupree applied i n this case for a return of the amount paid as fees by t he bankrupt on applying for his certificate. He stated It , at tLe bankruptcy took place as far back as 1835, and bankrupt's father represented 13.16ths of the amount of the debts, and was chosen assignee. Bankrupt did not for a long time consider it necessary to take up his certificate, and his father died, leaving him a legacy ; but as he bad not then got his certificate it fell to the estate. Under such circum stances he, Mr. Dupree, hoped the fees would be re turned. His Honour said the application might be made at the next audit meeting. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLH COURT. (Before the Lord Chief-Baron Pollock.) His lordship specially attended this morning to try another indictment against Fossey and Neary, charged with conspiracy to defraud Messrs. Walker and Co., corrugated-iron manufacturers and contractors, at Mill wall, Poplar, and Arthur•street, City, Neary's employers, by false entries of timber supplied to the prosecutors by Fossey. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Poland were counsel for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Metcalfe were counsel for Fossey ; and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Lilly were counsel for Neary. The prisoners, it will be recollected, were tried on Thursday last, before the Chief Baron, on a similar charge to the present, the particulars of which are wel known to the public, and were then acquitted. To-day they were indicted on two specific deliveries of timber which were less than the quantity charged, and a great number of witnesses were called to support the charges. The trial is expected to last to-day and to-morrow. The days for holding the sessions for the year en suing were fixed this morning as follows :—Monday, Nov. 24 ; Monday, Dec. 15, 1856 ; Monday, Jan. 5 ; Monday, Feb. 2 ; Monday, March 2 ; Monday, April 6 ; Monday, May 11 ; Monday, June 15 ; Mon day, July 6 ; Monday, Aug. 17 ; Monday, Sept. 14 and Monday, Oct. 26, 1857. AUSTRALIA. The following is from a copy of the Straits Times, received by the overland mail, which contains the following intelligence from Sydney down to the sth of August ;-- "Sydney papers have reaehed us, via Batavia, to the 4th of August. The discovery of new and rich diggings at Rocky River and Stony Creek, near the town of Bathurst—which place has been deserted for the gold fields—had caused a complete panic. They were rush ing in hundreds from the older diggings to the new El Dorado, which we need not be surprised at when we are gravely assured on credible authority, that one party secured 300 ounces and another 160 ounces in the course of one afternoon. Many thousands were on the newly discovered treasure spot, and among the number about 2,000 Chinese. By the way, the latter class of immigrants were pouring into Sydney and Adelaide by shiploads, and several steamers had been chartered to convey them along the coast and up the rivers so as to enable them to reach the diggings by the shortest possible route. At Melbourne they were seriously discussing the propriety of removing the restrictions placed on the landing of the Chinese in that province, seeing that the influx into the colony, either via Sydney or Adelaide, is greater than when the Celestials were free to land at Melbourne and Williamstown. "We ought to mention that at the Rocky River and Stony Creek diggings the gold is usually found in nug gets, varying from one ounce to 90 and even 130 ounces. The following description of the new gold field we copy from the Bathurst Free Press : " 'The whole country, which is hilly and abounds in gullies, covered with box and stringy bark, is said to re semble Forest Creek (Victoria) in its formation and ap pearance. The ground is also said to be similar to that first worked on the breaking out of that field. The Chinese are reported to be doing very well, and that such is the case may be inferred from the fact of their having established an armed escort, consisting of three mounted Chinamen, for the purpose of conveying their gold to Orange. At the present time there are no police, nor even a commissioner, on the field ; the nearest police station is Burrendong, distant about 20 miles. Consi dering this fact, the total absence of robberies or dis turbances of any kind is highly creditable to the miners. There is also no commissioner to settle disputes or to issue licences, the licences already granted having been given out by Serjeant Robinson, who was sent from Tarn baroora for that purpose some few days ago. Though there is a fair sprinkling of tents, yet the greatest num ber of habitations are buts formed of slabs and bark, and made as comfortable inside as most buildings of that description. There are already four stores on the ground and in the neighbourhood of the main diggings, two of which are also public houses, where very good accommodation is provided both for man and horse at a reasonable nte. Provisions of every kind are ex tremely reasonable, flour selling at 343. the 100 lb. ; tea 2s. and 2s. 6d ; good sugar 7d, and salt sd. per lb., and almost everything else in proportion. Tools, tubs, and cradles, however, are scarcely to be had at any price, owing to the fact that most of the new arrivals come upon the ground with nothing beyond a pick, shovel, and tin dish. Our informant further states that, though he has visited most of the gold fields in this colony, yet he had never been in one where there ap peared to be so much universal success or such general satisfaction expressed by the miners generally. The nearest route for horsemen or pedestrians is by Scotch Harry's or Ophir ; but for teams and vehicles through Orange. Gold, which appears to be pretty plentiful, is selling at 31. 15s. per ounce. " Being now resident at Orange, I visited, out of curiosity, on the 7th inst., the Stony Creek diggings, distant hence, on the road to Mookerwa, about 35 miles. I saw there two kinds of diggings, the deep and surface, the former not exceeding eight or nine feet, and the latter generally about a foot from the surface. On the day I reached the gold field there were taken out of three adjoining claims on the surface diggings, in the course of the afternoon, upwards of 100 oz. of gold in nuggets, weighing from loz, to 18oz. each. " On the following day I went over the ground and spoke to several diggers from Victoria. They gave it as their candid opinion that this gold field will turn out to be the richest yet discovered in any part of the world —also that fields of a like kind and in great numbers extend for upwards of 30 miles in all directions, that is, towards Ophir, Wellington, and Orange. The whole body of diggers were in high spirits and all seemed satisfied. There is already in the hands of the diggers a large quantity of gold, and the great cry is for an escort to take charge of their gold and letters ; there is an 'abundant supply of necessaries—beef at 3d, per lb., flour at 375. per 1001 b. Of clothing and soft goods, such as blankets and shirts, there is a good supply. Mi n i ng tools and cradles are very scarce, but this will only be for a short time, as there is a large supply on the road.'" THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 1. The South American and General Steam Navi gation Company's screw steamship Imperador ar rived to. day from Simon's Bay, whence she sailed on the 21st of September. She also brings dates from St. Helena to the Ist, St.. Vincent's to the 18th, and Madeira to the 24th of October. She has made an excellent voyage. The Imperador, it will he recollected, took out troops to the Cape. She landed them at Algoa Bay, where she was allowed to remain only twelve hours. In consequence of this brief stay, the ad vices are most meagre. All that we are able to learn is that there had been an " interview between the Governor and the Chief of the Kaffirs, and that matters had been arranged." St. Vincent, Cape de Verds, had suffered ter ribly from chole r a. Out of a population of 1,200, 8 00 persons had died, principally males.

On Saturday evening every corner of our great na tional theatre was occupied, and we believe that many hundreds were unable to obtain admittance at any price. There were several combined causes for this ex traordinary confluence of peeple appertaining to almost every class of the community. Firstly, Madame Grisi was to appear for the first time in a character which other singers had already rendered popular ; secondly, Signor Mario was to sing with her ; thirdy, Signor Graziani had been brought from Paris, by a very large number of guineas, to perform his most celebrated part ; and, fourthly, it was supposed to be the last night of the Italian operas, which, at prices within the reach of almost all, have been conducted by Messrs. Cramer and Beale, and Mr. E. T. Smith, the enterprising lessee o Drury-lane, in so admirable a manner as to win the ap probation of the press and the entire confidence of the public. Here, most assuredly, were ample means for "bring ing a house," as the phrase goes, and a house there was, such, indeed, as we have rarely seen. The opera was Verdi's "Il Trovatore," and Madame Grisi essayed for the first time the character of Leonora. We need scarcely comment upon the interest which any fresh effort by so great an artist must necessarily awa ken. All musical London was anxious to learn what. the heroine of we (know not how many operatic triumphs would make of this new part—how she, who has rendered the loveliest melodies of Mozart, Cima rosa, Rossini, and Meyerbeer, more lovely by her ex quisitely beautiful singing, would acquit herself in Ver di's music, for she had never ventured upon it before, at least in London ; and it was generally supposed (why we know not) that the great prima donna could not do it justice. There could scarcely be a more erro neous idea than this. Grisi always could, and can stillsing to perfection anything within the compass of her voice ; for she is a thoroughly-trained artiste, belonging to a true and legitimate school ; whilst, with respect to dramatic sentiment and emotioral expression, she is uni versally admitted to be unsurpassedly great. Why, then, should she be unable to sing Verdi ? Can it be said that his music is proof against all the magic powers of executive genius, which, by a species of men t a l al chemy, can convert base materials into something like pure gold ? Why, even we, who admire it not, would not hazard such an assertion ! Was it imagined that her pulmonic means were unequal to it, and that she could not scream loud enough to contend successfully with the unisonic ravings of the maestro's score ? If so, there was some foundation for the doubt, for Grisi was certainly not so great in the screaming passages of the part as were many of her predecessors, and it is only in this respect that we have to note shortcomings. 0h! fclix culpa! The first air, " Tacea is notte," was given with a purity of style, soft intensity .of tone, and fervency of expression which showed the fair cantatrice to be in the best possible voice, and the happiest vein. This at once put her admirers in spirits, eyhich were raised still higher by the delightful execution of the succeeding cabaletta, "Di Tale amor," in which the graces of florid vocalism were combined with the more intel lectual charms of unaffected sentiment, for the accom plishment of a result as nearly approaching perfection as the music would admit. Grisi was herself, and there could be no room for doubt, even in Verdi ite minds, of the complete success of her new essay. Henceforward, to the termination of the opera, she shone with all her native lustre —in all the great scenes and situations her " fiery and original" artistic virtue vivified the score of Verdi, and imparted to it a temporary dazzling splendour, which rendered us almost blind to its manifold defects. In the frantic trio which terminates the first act, and the eccentric finale to the second, where the heroine of the drama is made to gasp through a succession of halting measures as though she were suffering from asthma, Madame Grisi was crea tively great, for she made a vast deal out of very little ; but in the famous miserere scene, where there is a little more help from the author—where the singer has rather better material to work upon—she was greatest of all, and far surpassed:all her predecessors. The whole of this was rapturously redemanded ; and, indeed, the whole of Mine. Grisi's performa nce was received with those un mistakeable demonstrations of genuine enthusiasm which only attend a most complete and legitimate success. We never heard Mario sing the muse of the "Troubadour' so well, or saw him act the part with so much fiery energy and purpose as he did on Saturday night. His "Di quella pira" was quite an inspiration—the mere execution of the thing carried us away—we could scarcely have believed it possible to make so much out of so little, and that little very bad in itself. But there was such " fine phronzy" in the singer, so com plete an abandonment to the business of the scene, so much genuine passion and exquisite beauty of voice, that we could think of nothing but the wondrouely-gifted performer. We have spoken of this effort, first, because dce it struck us particularly, and none of Mario's Preffect to nor even Mario himself, had ever given equalrld ebulli to the piece in question. It was indeed tion of lyrical and dramatic genius, scc?e grand upon a being able even the greatest artiste could not:safely reckon ea that this to repeat. It must not, however, be was Mario's only triumph ; or " Ah si hen the serenade, " sly sto sully terra ; the " Addio Leo flora" (unanimou redemanded), never did did he sing Graziani, who was entire part more finely. Signor,,a throughout the opera most enthusiasticallyreceived, sa his beautiful baritone voice nora" (similarly honoured), more b o eautif ally, or act the in his very best manner, and o " for which he elicited " Balen del suo sorris , mann, a rapturous encore. who is rapidly rising in public esti mation, heard to the utmost advantage in the popular ro.

The customary ovation over—ovation, it should be remembered, which had more than customary causes and genuineness—a general cry was raised for Mr. E. T.
