fil ONEY MARKET AND CO YI YEE CIAL INTEL LIGENO CITY, Two o'at,o(lK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly, and prices of Ainercians 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 corn- mercial paper during the last two months had created some anxiety as the 31st of Oatober 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 conseauence 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 and expected, 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 large 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, 93k I. These have also been about the values for the 6th inst.

Amongst the various branches of art-manufactures to which the highest order of art-design is applicable, and which affords a large scope for its display, wa may spe cially mention that of the dials and backs of watches. Seeing the ready appreciation the public have mani fested for designs of a high order of merit in other branches of art-naannfacture, it is singular that our Eng lish tuanufazturers of watches overlooked the importance of superior art-designs for their productions. The fact is, that costliness of material perfection of mechanism in the smallest compass seem heretofore to have been looked upon as the exclusive standards by which a watch could be judged, the ornamentation being considered of no importance—it often happening that 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 the appropriateuess of the design for the article. The fair inference is that our watch manufacturers have 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 th e wa t c h, as an art i cle which is generally cherished as an object of affection, has its value much enhanced by embellishments which will bear the scrutiny of the educated taste. , Significant signs of improvement are, however, indicated by at least one manufacturer, who announces that be has made the artistic embellishment of his watches a matter of special study. As observers of progress in all departments of art and manufactures, we feel much pleasure in adding o ur testimony to the fine taste which has oeen :lisplayed in the selection of artistic designs for ornamenting watches by M r. J. IV. Benson, of 33 and 34, Ludgate - hill, the manufacturer re f erre d to. Mr. Benson, as a long established City manufact urer , has gained a reputation for the quality of hi s production s which stands second to none in the City, TLIE lAA VICT ROBSON. Within half-an-hour of sentence having been pro nounced, this unhappy man, stripped of his ordinary habiliments and clothed in a convict's dress, became the associate of half-a-dozen other transports. The callous indifference to his position which Robson exhibited during his trial was carried out to . the last moment. Whil e t h e j ury were d e liberating ; it was remarked, that instead of looking towards them, Ile prisoner employed himself scribbling upon a sheet of foolscap paper. This sheet was alterwards handed round the bar, and upon it were the following observa tions : —"lf I am found guilty upon this; charge, I will not plead again, but take my clianco. Johnsoa has completely so ldme—henryJohnson, of Birming ham," In one corner of the sheet the convict sketched a very good likeness of his brott-er-in-law) having thus engaged himself while Mr. Justice Erie 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 be was then in the habit of frequenting, and ordered dinner for himself and a lady who joined him d ur i ng th e a f ternoon. The dinner consisted of fish, curry, and a brace of partridges • served, Robson, addressin sorryand while it was being the waiter, said, "I am has sent g we curry, 'en n i* I eat it. ray tell him to rememb er thi s when I dine here e again." That T y ce night the unhappy man left England a fugitive . tilE SUN, LONDON, HONDA LINE 3 LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS RAILWAYS. Le.stat. Comp sue. Oko.in: -now on Frid sy. I tottnivin this 1.4 y.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday exhibited only moderate supplies of home-grown wheat, in which a limited business was trantacted at about stationary prices. There was a fair dctnand for malting barley at full quota tions. In most other kinds of produce an): 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 largo 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, ZO 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 Vrhol o, the show of samples was moderately good. As the attendance of both town and country millers was rather limited, the demand for a ll kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and in most transactions prices wero fully 2s per qr lower than on this day se'ennight. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Although the amount of business doing for home use was limited, im. porters were firm, and 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 the 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 Or 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. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Oar own broods, however, continue very deficient in quality, considering that the supply of food has been so abundant. . There was a full average time-of•year 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 24 per Slbs. The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10t1 per Sibs. 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. Prune Downs and half-brads were in fair request, but all other breeds• moved off slowly, and in ,some. in, stances the quotations gave way 2d per 81bs. The best old Downs were worth 5s per Blbs. We were scantily supplied with both English aid 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.

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 sows 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 .Tusticeship, an event whish took place in the year 1850, the Into Sir John Jervis was distinguished inure for his general ability,— for his quickness and dexterity as an advecata, than for any special knowledge of the Is wor profoun l acq t• ante with origin arid principlee. He was no L:ack letter lawyer, perhaps, but he was a most shrewd and ready counsel; and Ws,. quality, which he possessed in a pre-eminent degree, and the want of which has con demned many a profound blacL•letter lawyer to vegetate s unseen—a legal cactus—in Stone- i nildinge or Figtree court, procured for Sir John Jervis riot only a large share of professional emolument, but ultinistely raised !inn 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 I not from what cause, to cbanee his professior, he was called to the bar in the year 1821, went the Oxford and Chester circuits, and soon attracted attention by his ability. Becoming a Queen's Counsel, and his reputation still te , ntinuieg, he was raised to the dignity of Attorney- General in the year 1816, 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 1843, 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 en 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 futztelation. The common s !nse which Sir J. Jervis pop sassed 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 Weßtmin ster-liall 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 joa 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 -eyed 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, but is also a high "shelf," and when a man has been .on a high shelf for 20 years in a tropcal 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 vacant 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 Feat as a Baron of the Exchequer. Mr. Watson, Q,.0., is spoken of as likely to become the new judge. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS'. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—Much excitement prevailed in the contested wards to-day, viz , Lime-street and Everton and Kirltdale, in both of which the liberal candidates were elected, Mr. J. B. Lloyd giving place in the former to Mr. J. R. Jefffey, 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. MANCHESTER.—There were contests in only five out of the fifteen wards, only one of which resulted in the election of a new member. This 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. Romney, mann. factoring chemist ; Mr, J. Ryder, gentleman.; Mr. G. M'Connell, gentleman ; And Mr. James King, cotton spinner. s attiz d a y Night.—Nearly all NEWOISTLE ON•TYNE, the municipal wards have been i,`.)tly contested. The old Whig party have got into great el.::favour through appointing the Vicar to a sinecura office, tLe Mastership of St. Thomas, witk some 4001. or 500/. year. The cry has been "Turn them out," and the Itatep.je'rs' Reform Association have done some effectual scrvire day. The following are the remits at the close of the poll :—St. Nicholas Ward—Mr. Anderson (R.), 307 ; Mr. Bradley (R.), 239 ; Mr. Young (W.), 227. Two first elected. All Saints East—Mr. Walters and Mr. Hedley, Reformers, elected ; Mr. I. L. Bell, Whig, re tiring. South St. Andrews—Mr. Benson (R.), and Mr. Brown (R.), elected ; Mr. Jobling (W.) retiring. Mr. Phipson (\V.), 395 ; Mr. Plummer (R.), 362 ; Mr. Charlton (R.), 312. Two first elected. All Saints West Bahley (R.), 355; Mr. Lambert (W.), 260 ; Mr. S. Carlten (R.), 235. Two first elected. The other two wards were not. contested. OXFORD —Ol the ten C ,uncillors elected four are Radicals, four Liberal Conservatives, and two Tories. The Town Council now consists of 24 Liberals and 16 Cowervatives. BEVERLEY. —Five 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 ahlermen. They also tried hard to oust Mr. B)yes and Mr. Hind, but could not succeed. After the 10th inst. the council will consist of 15 Liberals, 7 Tories, and 2 nondescripts. Tho result of the poll was as under : Minster Ward. Liberals. Tories. Mr. J. find 342 1 Mr. W. Catherson 276 J. Thompson..... 325 1 _ .J. Vicars J. Walktr 3ll 1 T. Oxley ... . . _ St. Mary's Ward.

NEW MAYOUS.—FOr Manchester it is expected that Mr. James Watts, and for Salford Mr. Stephen Heelip, the present Mayors, will consent to take offi:•e a second year, and as this compliment has been usual in most previous cases their reelection may be regarded as almost certain.

Mr. Enron Alderson, who presided in the absence of the Lord Chief Baron, asked the learned gentlemen of the bar if they had anything to more, but none of th , m had anything to move but Mr. fiance, who wished his mltion to stand over for Mr. Watson's attendance to morrow. Baron Alderson said, Mr. Hance had better go on with his motion, or Mr. Watson to-morrow might have to decide rg , inst him. By this intimation it would appear that Mr. Watson has received hi; appointment of ene of the Barons of the Exchequer in room of Mr. Baron Piatt, resigned. The Court then adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner G.,ulburn.) Mg Honour was the Commissioner, but all, the cases were dividends of no interest. IN RE EVINS. Mr. Dupree applied in this case for a return of the amount paid as fees by the bankrupt on applying for his certificate. lie stated that tl.e bankruptcy took place as far back as 1835, and bankrupt's father represented 13 ltiths 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 had not then got his certificate it fell to the estate. Under such circura. stances he, Mr. Dupree, hoped the fees would be re turned. His Honour said the applleation might be made at the next audit meeting. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD 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 4rthur•street, City, Neary'. 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 : "Sidney papers have reached us, via Batavia, to the 4th of August. The discovery of now 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 ,000 Chinese. By the way, the latter class of itnmigrants were pouring into Sydney and Adelaide by shiploads, and several steamers had bean 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 eJlestials wero 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 de,cription 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 semlie 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 Burrendoeg, 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 wa6 sent from Tarn baroora for that purpose some few days ago. Though t ;,:ere is a fair sprinkling of tents, yet the greatest num ber ,of habitations are huts formed of slabs and bark, and made re: comfortable inside as most buildings of that descriptiore- There are already four stores on the ground and 112 the neighbourhood of the main diggings, two of whic h AL;^ also public houses, where very good accommodation is peovided both for man and horse at a reasonable rite. Pry visions of every kind are ex tremely reasonable, flour' selling at 345. the 1001 b. ; tea 2e. and 2s. 6d ; good suler id, and salt sd. per lb., and almost everything else in proportion. Tools, tubs, and cradles, however, are scrercely to be had at any price, owing to the fact that most Pf the new arrivals come cps o the ground with nothing beyond a pick, shovel, and tin dish. Our informant further states het, though ho has visited most of the golf: fields in this colony, yet he hod never been in one where there ap peared to be so rnoch universal SUCCOR or saw genera! satisfaction expressed by the miners generally, The nearest route for •horeemen 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 diggin h gs, the deep and surface, the the former not exceeding eigt or nine feet, and latter generally about a foot from the s ur f ace , On the day I reached the gold field there were takeerout of turee adjoining claims on the stlrface diggings, in the course of the afternoon, upwards of 100 oz. of gold in nuggets, weighing from loz. to 18cz. 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 di: covered 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, Weliington, and Orange. The whole body of diggers were in high spirits and all seemed satisfied. There is already le 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 aecessaries—bef at 3d. per lb., flour at 375. per 1001 b. Of clothing and !soft goods, such as blankets and shirts, there is a good eupply, Mining tools and cradles are very scarce, but this will only be for a short time, as there is a large supply on the road.'"

On Saturday of our great na• tional theatre was occup i e d , and we believe that many , handreds were linable to obtain admittance at any price. There were several combined causes for thin ex ' traordinary confluence of people 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 ber ; thirdly, Signor Graziani had been brought from Paris, by a very large numberof guineas, to perform his most celebrated part ; and, fourthly, it was supposed to he the last night of the Italian operas, which, at prices within the receb of almost all, have been conducted by Messrs. Cramer and Beale, and Mr. E. T. Smith, the enterprising le Isee of Drury-lane, in so admi; able a manner as to win the an probation of the press and the entire istinfi lence of the public. Here, most assuredly, were ample means for "bring ing a house," au the phrase goes, and a house there was, such, indeed, as we have rarely seen. I'he opera was Verdi's "Il Trovatore," and Madame Grist 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 rose, Rossini, and Meyeriseer, more lovely by her ex quisitely beautiful singing, would acquit herself in '"ere di's music, for she had never ventured upon it before, at least in London ; and it was generally suppesed (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 still sing to perfection anything within the compass of her voice ; for she is a t' o roughly- rained artis:e, belonging to a true and legitimate school ; whilst, with respect to dramatic sentiment and emotional expression, she is uni versally admitted to be unsurpacsedly 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 mental 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 pulrnonic 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? It sr , , there was some foundation for the doubt, for Grisi was certainly not so great in the sere arcing passages of the part as were many of her predecessors, and it is only in this respect that we have to note shortcomings. Oh! Pix culpa! It should, however, be remembered that the sostcnuto singing, such, for instance, as the "Carta Diva" requires, is now much more trying to Grisi than even Verdi's start .. ling explosions of vocal fury, overlaid as they invariably are by the instrummitation, and that, although she might occasionally fail to out-scream the orchestra, there could be no possible danger of an audible break down. There was, therefore, no sufficient cause for supposing that the "set/lima donna" would compromise herself on this occasion, but, on the contrary, every reason to ex pect that she would give us an original and intensely dramatic version of the character of Leororo—that she would look it as it never was looked before, and sing all that is properly vocal in the music divinely as she sings everything. Such, at least, were our expectations, and they were all fully realised. The first air, " Tacea is notte," was given with a parity of style, salt 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 epiritv, which 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 accorn• plishment of a result as nearly approaching perfection as the music would admit. Grist 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 ale were suffering from asthma, Madame Grisi was crea tively great, for she made a vast deal out of very little ; but in the bilious ?Owen 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 Mme. Grisi's performance 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 (Fella pira" was quits 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. Bnt there was such " fine phrenzy" 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 wondrously-gifted performer. We have spoken of this effor', first, because it struck us particularly, and none of Mario's predeces sors, nor even Mario himself, had ever given equal effect to the piece in question. It was indeed a grand ebulli tion of lyrical and dramatic genius, sue: as even the greatest artiste could not!safely reckon upon being able to repeat. It must not, however, be supposed that this was Mario'd only triumph ; for never did he sing the serenade, " Desert() sulla terra," the "Ah si ben mio" (unanimously redemanded), or the " Addio Leo nora" (similarly honoured), more beau ifully, or act the entire part more finely. Signor Graziani, who was most enthusiastically received, mug throughout the opera in his very best manner, and his beautiful baritone voice was heard to the utmost advantage in the popular ro manza, " Il Balen del suo sorriso," for which he elicited a rapturous encore. Madame Amadei, who is rapidly rising in public esti mation, displayed unexpected histrionic ability in the very arduous part of Azucena, the old demented gipsy, and sang the mus i c like a well-trained artiste. With a little more experience, Madame Amadei cannot fail to become an important acquisition to the operatic stage. There has never, perhaps, been so admirable a Fernando as M. Gassier, and although the oart is a small one, yet in the hands of this excellent artiste it appeared to be of real importance to the dramatic action, and that his performance contributed largely to the general success of the opera. It was then but fair that he should be included in the tumultuous call which brought the prin• cipal artistes on the stage after the final fall of the cur tain.' The customary ovation ovcr—ovation, it should be remembered, which had more than customary causes and genuineness—a general cry was raised for Mr. E. T. Smith, who stepped forward, amid enthusiastic cheering from all parts of the house, to acknowledge the compli ment, and state that, in consequence of the great success which has attended the Italian Opera performances at " old play-house prices," he had made arrangements with Messrs. Cramer and Beale to give a fresh series, with Mesdames Griai and Gassier as the prime donne, to commence on Monday, Nov. 10.—Morning paper. COWES, ISLE 19F WIGHT. ROYAL YACtIT SQUADRON INTELLIGENQE.—The build ings at Cowes Castle to adapt it for a clubhouse for the Royal Yacht. Squadron are proceeding most satisfactorily.

PUBLIC RIGHTS.— A great sensation has been created in Cowes by a notice from the Royal Yacht Squadron to the imal 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 ex clud e th e public.
