THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY l9,_ 1851. ratter, or carry any contest into which we might enter solely on public grounds beyond its legitimate boundaries. SIDNEY SMITH has, however, explained that boards can never be induced to act fairly or honourably, and we must be contented to accept the explanation given by the witty canon of the causes producing such untoward results. Last week we gave insertion to a memorial which had just been addressed by a highly respectable firm, Messrs. JOHN CRAVEN and Company, to the Mem bers of both Houses of Parliament, on the subject of the regulations respecting the " refining of sugars in bond," which affords a powerful illustration of the system acted on at Thames-street, and the total ab sence of consideration for everything relating to the interests of the home trade. We do not now enter into that part of the complaint relating to the granting of bounties by the Dutch and Belgian Governments on the exportation of sugars refined in these countries. Such a system of forcing productions has long been exploded, and can only eventually injure the parties wbo are taught to rely on such illegitimate stimu lants. The nation, or individual, who is willing to dispose of goods at less than first cost must, sooner or later, become bankrupt if they persevere in such un wise and injudicious proceedings. The parties against whom such attempts may be made, although they may be temporary sufferers, cannot eventually sus tain anyrealinjury therefrom. The process invariably recoils on the heads of those by whom it is introduced —we find " the engineer hoist with his own petard." We do not, therefore, allude to the question of the bounties as worthy of notice. But the other point is one requiring immediate attention. It is, indeed, a grievance of no ordinary magnitude, that British refiners should be compelled to export their com modities, in order t' introduce them again into the country at the same duties charged to foreign re finers. Now, we have been among the most strenuous opponents of anything in the shape of "protection" or monopoly, but we emphatically demand " fair play' , for the British producer. We ask for no advantage : "a clear stage and no favour" is, however his right, and that he must speedily obtain ; and any board that opposes the just and righteous concession will be swept away by the torrent of public opinion that will be excited by their injudicious pertinacity. There can be no sufficient reason assigned why the goods refined in bond should not subsequently be entered for home consumption on the same terms as if they had actually been sent out of the country and brought back in the same vessel. There can be no magical charm in the touching of these sugars on a foreign soil—we have never heard that they are par ticularly improved by a foreign voyage. But the journey is rigorously insisted on by the authorities, and the necessary expenses thereof for freight charges, insurance, &c., are quite sufficient to turn the scale iu favour of the foreign refiner, and to die tance the British manufacturer in the race of com petition on which he has entered. be discontinued, and we place ourselves at the disposal of the Chamber for the discussion of the other projects on which reports have been made, especially of such as may be thought urgent." The Chamber then separated, after notifying that it would meet on Monday at two o'clock for the dis cussion of the most urgent supplementary credits. THE SHARE MARKETS BRITISH ItAILW'AYS. Railways.

We leave received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. M. DUPII`e took his seat as President of the As sembly on Friday, his leave of absence having ex pired. The Minister of the Interior presented a Bill for concentrating into the hands of the Prefect of the Rhone the whole authority, police and administra tive, of the city of Lyons. Urgency was declared, and the Bill was ordered to be referred to the Bureaux. M. Meanriz has written to the Dibats, denying the authenticity of the manifesto published in his name simultaneously in that journal and in the foreign correspondence of some of the English organs of the reaction. The document furnished internal evidence of its own falsehood; it was apparent on the face of it that it was a clumsy forgery. The Conztitutionnel says that the three reactionary clubs representing the Buonapartists, the Legitima tists, and the Orleanists, have determined to petition for the Constitution. This is, however, but the be ginning of the end of the party of reaction. Have they determined in what sense it is to be revised ? The sub-committee, on the proposition of M. BANX, for preventing the sale of journals in the streets, met yesterday, and, after a short dis.aussion, adopted the principle of the proposition, but with a modification permitting the sale in the offices of the journals, in booksellers' shops, in reading-rooms, and at the rail road stations. 100 42 34 4 2 • 100 100 47% all 9-3 LINES MBAS: 10% - 10% • • •••• ..

CITY rpoo , TO O'C The sales of Cotton at Livel on W SaturdayLOCK. were esti mated at from 3,000 to 4,000 b ales. The market was heavy . and closed in favour of buyers.—Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices. No alteration has occurred to-day in the price of Wheat. The value of money is not expected to undergo any change in the discount market, although the fall in the premium on Exchequer-bills might lead to an impression that there was a scarcity of capital. It is in the Stock Ex change, however, that money has been wanted, and this, owing to the three settlements that have been in progress. The quantity of silver bullion exported again last week was considerable, and there was a little gold also. The former metal, however, is fully supplied by arrivals from America and other parts, and of the latter we expect a large amount within a fortnight, from the United States, Russia, &c. As specie still accumulates in the Bank of France, and the 400,0001. of gold from Amsterdam, being the remnant of the ten-florin piece coinage, has been forwarded.to Paris, it is natural to assume that the French capitalists will be anxi ous to find a profitable outlay for some of their surplus, and in this case the question to be considered is, whether Eng land offers such. If we were to give our own opinion, which we believe also is that of the majority, we should say that there is an ample amount of bullion in the Bank of England for all useful purposes; and that it would be diffi cult to employ more, but since a continuous decline in the amount would favour the impression that the balance of trade was adverse, it is desirable to see the tide turned. The Bank returns on Saturday gave promise of a change in the right direction, anal as soon as the cotton speculators get out of their difficulties, we shall find money as plentiful as for some time past. The advices from the United States are looked upon as satisfactory in respect to mercantile and monetary affairs. From Quebec it is stated, under date of the 2d inst., that there had been a considerable fall of snow that day, but pre viously heavy rains had descended, and had done much good in removing the frost from the ;round. The port began to assume an appearance of business. Several launches had taken place, and there were four more arrivals from sea, all vessels with general cargoes, and singular enough represented as all belonging to one firm. The value of the exports of Canada last year has been as certained to be 2,990,428/., of which 1,521,2791. came to Eng land, and 1,237,7891. to the United States. The latter country, however, takes a great deal in transit for Europe. The exports include 1,360,7341. of timber, 1,046,034/. in vege table food, and 13,439/. in other agricultural produce. The accounts of the Newfoundland seal fishery are very encouraging. Upwards of twenty vessels had arrived at St. John's from the ice with seals valued at nearly 50,0001. Advices of January 30th from Geelong, Port Philip, re port numerous bush fires which had done considerable damage. In an official return of the amount of Customs' duties re ceived last year at the different ports, we find London stands first, then Liverpool, Bristol, Dublin, Glasgow, Leith, Greenock, Hull, Belfast, and Newcastle. The total for England was 18,056,7751., for Scotland 1,951,980/., and for Ireland 2,055,9244., making the grand total 22,064,6801. The transactions in the English Stock Market have been rather limited, but prices have been maintained. Consols have realised 97 to 14 for Transfer, and 97 1 4 for Time. The demand for money does not appear to have become less, and the value of Exchequer-bills has not rallied, being 435. to 47s premium. East India Bonds have been 535. premium. Bank Stock has been firm at 210 to 211. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been marked 97 % 3 4 ; and the Three per Cents., 96 1 4. Foreign Securities have been neglected. Spanish, though less dealt in, continue very firm at 2,a 3 to 21. The Passive Bonds are about 6. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 32%. Mexican Bonds have realised 35 to ; and Peruvian, 82. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 89 The Railway Share Market is fluctuating and depressed, and upon the traffic will depend its revival and future steadi ness. There is no ground to conclude that this will not be good. 40, A .*k .0 1 , 4 .. a‘• 11%11 't : 1 51 E -P 4 il ZZ' •m 0 5." . 1 bia ) • - r••• '4 4 1111t1t "-zittl HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 19, 185 ' A sorrowful but dignified protestation has, within the last month, been addressed to the Sublime Porte by the late Governor of Hungary, from Kutabja, the place of his imprisonment. I n this eloquent appeal to the justice of the Ottoman Cabinet, KOSSUTH has exhausted the vocabularies of reproach and laments • tion. His rhetoric appears in no respect to have suf fered under the deteriorating influences of incarceration. On the contrary, his voice rises in accents more than ever persuasive under the incitement of almost un paralleled wrongs, and under the anguish of almost unendurable disappointment. He re minds the Government of Constantinople of the peculiar circumstances attendant upon the arrival in their territories of himself and his compatriots. He calls to recollection the fact that the refugees from Hungary came as expatriated unfortunates to seek from the Sublime Porte either safe passage or protec tion. He reminds the Ministerial advisers of ABDUI, MBD,TID that their Cabinet opened its sheltering tent to the fugitives—" it entreated us to cross the threshold, and swore by its GOD and its faith that it would grant us hospitality and a safe asylum." Allured by this show of humanity, the Magyars trusted themselves to the honour of the Turks with implicit confidence. " We ate of their bread," says Kossum, " and of their salt—we reposed under their roof—we prayed to GOD to bless, and we offered them our courage, our experience, matured by vicissitudes, and our everlast ing gratitude." What, however, has been the un• happy consequence of this brilliant generosity and this noble reliance ? The banished children of Hun gary have been kept in rigid seclusion in the interior of the Ottoman dominions. For more than a year they have been pining in bootless expectation of a release that has not yet comforted them in their misfortunes. " Pursued by those misfortunes," exclaims Kossura, "we stopped before the threshold of the Mussulman and asked from him in the name of GoD, in the name of humanity, in the name of his religion, a hospitable asylum or a free passage." How has this appeal for assistance been responded to ? The hero himself answers us, alluding to the conduct of the Turks towards himself and his compatriots—" They offered us hospitality, and they gave us a prison ; they swore to us that we should meet with an asylum, and we have found banishment." Well may he cry out in an agony of indignation—" GOD will judge, and GOD is jUSt." There is a tone very touching in the sentences which follow immediately upon this ejaculation, sentences eloquent in their simplicity. "We have suffered," says the leader of the Hungarians, at once their Dic tator, their Liberator, and their participator in cala mities, "we have suffered; but, for the sake of not c: fusing embarrassment, we have been silent. They b egged us to have confidence ; we have shown it. They begged us to wait ; we have waited long." Long I well may he speak thus, twelvemonths having [thready elapsed since their first entrance into Cue land of the Mahometans. In contradiction to t'bn apparent faithlessness of the Turks, KOSSUTH points to the honourable truthfulness of the Hunga rians. " The Hungarians," he says, "keep their word. Look," he continues, "at Bosnia, where Afussulmans, subjects of the Sublime Porte, are in revolt against it. A handful of Hungarians are in the ranks of its soldiers. It is but a handful, for the P orte would not accept more. Well I who are first upon the breach ? Who are first in the charge ? Who are they who never retreat, who advance in the idst of fire and grape-shot, bayonet in hand, to vic tory ? They are this handful of exiles. They die for Turkey. The Hungarian keeps his word." From this reiteration of the veracity of the Magyars, it is, we conceive, sufficiently apparent what inference is implied by the illustrious leader of the Hungarians. iVhilo regrotting the course pursued in this in stance by the Sublime Porte, we cannot but regard it as traceable entirely to the unfortunate position of Turkey as one of the powers of the European Conti nent, and not as in any way attributable to a want of magnanimity on the part of its Government. So many splendid evidences of liberality have already from time to time been afforded by the Sultan ABDULMEDSID that it would be unfair to regard his conduct towards the Hunga rian refugees as arising out of anything but a miser able and unavoidable necessity. England is remote. France is remote. Austria, on the contrary, is con tiguous, and so is Russia, and, through the Danubian principality, both these despotic powers bring to bear upon the Ottoman Government an influence scarcely in any way resistible. KOSSUTH seems to allude to this where he reminds the Sublime Porte that the date of his emancipation was fixed at the indefinite period when Austria should have thoroughly re established order and tranquillity, " the order," says he, "of oppression, the tranquillity of the tomb." " Well," he resumes, " she has re-established this order, this tranquillity by her executions. She has re-established it so far as to dare to provoke Prussia to war ; so far as to dare, trusting to the support of her master, the CZAR, to encroach upon the nations of Europe, to extend her forces from the Baltic to Rome—so far as to threaten Piedmont and Switzer land —s o far as to bribe the border provinces of turkey to revolt ; she has re-established this tranquillity—she has even announced sts re establishment to the Sublime Porte—find we are still prisoners." The subterfuge has. conse quently been rendered by time sufficiently trans parent. Nevertheless, though delayed thus lamentals ly, the prospect of ulterior liberation has not been alto gether denied to the refugee Hungarians. Our confidence, in spite of every disappointment, has been at length here verified. The protest of KOSSUTH has hardly reached its destination before intelligex ice is received that even the Cabinet of Vien rla has consented to the liberal project so long chi srished by the Government of Constantinople. Before many more weeks have elapsed we may have the gratification of welcoming amongst us, on his way to America, not only the ilia strious KOSSUTH himself; but the majority of his distin guished fellow-sufferers. The LORD MAYO. a will consequently have, we trust, an early opportas City of redeeming his promise of hospitality to the Hun garian Liberator ; and among the more remarkable visitors to the Crystal Palace may be not only 2 he fu gitive CABAL, the exiled BRAGANZA, and the fallen princes of the Orleans dynasty, but the Eu! •opean / A 74 BHIISGTON, KOSSUTH, the greatest and nob: ,est of the Hungarians.

A letter from Stuttgard, of the 13th, in the German Journal of Frankfort, states that there is not the slightest truth in the rumour that has been current of serious differences having arisen between the Cabinets of Wirtemberg and Vienna. The Cabinet of Vienna, in compliance with the reiterated requests of England, have at length con sented to set at liberty KossuTu and the other re fugees, on the express condition, however, that they shall immediately leave Europe, and engage not to return without the formal consent of the Austrian Government. One of the secretaries of the Austrian Embassy has conveyed this decision to Constantinople.

She is retained by indispo sition and on account of the death of the Dowager Em press of Brazil. The conferences of Dresden are definitively closed.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S BALL.—The Duke of Wellington gave one of the most magnificent balls wit nessed by the members of the host ton within the walls of Apsley House, on Friday night. The Duke had not given a ball at his mansion in Piccadilly for the last seven years, and only excepting the full dress ball given by his Grace on the night of her Majesty's coronation, more brilliant company was never collected at any private rianion of a similar cha racter. It was understood to have been given as cae of the files consequent on the Great International Ez: Above 1,500 invitations were issued , and upwards isigle,i22 personages attended. As early as nine o'clock the gallery and communieating saloons were preparedfortrdhoeren-0 re ception, and soon after that hour carriages:began to set down, and continued without intermission, till nearly comin g t o theeairly two o'clock— the elite of the company at Devonshire H ball after the amateur performances had concluded there. The Duke of Wellington, who honoured the performances at the Duke of Devonshire's by his presence, returned to Ansley House, to do the honours to his own gu es t s , i n w hi c h the Gallant Duke was assisted by the Marchioness of Douro and Lady Charles Wellesl e y . Dancing commenced at half s ast ten, the Duke t a ki ng, a fliers form, Lady Clem en tine Villiers as his partner i n the dance, a distinction he subse quently conferred, webelieve on the Ladies Hay, sisters of the Marchioness of Douro. A few minutes before five the festivities were brought to a close, the noble and gallant host seeing the last of his Illustrious visitors. It is said the Duke will give a concert in the course of the season. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning, shortly after ten Mr. Rich ar d Poole o'clock, as a light chaise cart belonging to of Orpington, Kent, was being driven along the Blackfri., ars-road, and whilst crossing by Rowland Hill's chapel, and endeavouring to pass a brewer's dray, a little , boy, named Daniel Do novan , e i g ht years old, who was playing with othe rs b y th e s id e o f t h e road, was knocked down and one of the wheels of the cart passed completely over his head. The poor little sufferer was picked up im mediaLely and taken to a surgeon's, but in consequence of the serious nature of his injuries it was deemed advisable that he should be instantly removed to Guy's Hospital, where he lies in a hopeless state. - A PROTECTIONIST WANTED.—" The Dupery" and Other parts of North Nottinghamshire have, during the last throe or four months, been beaten for a candidate to supply the place of Mr. Houldaworth, whose retirement has been, for some time, spoken of, but no one can yet be induced to declare his willingness to be " brought out."

It is respectfulli a nnounced that a Grand EXTRA NIGHT will take place on THURSDAY EVENING, May 22, when will be pra ted, for the first time this season, Rossini's celebrated opera, It BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA.

These extensive grounds, the most delightful place of recreation within the confines of the metropolis, to those who aspire to the economical enjoyment of a summer's evening alfresco, with luxurious variety, re-open to-day for the season of 1851. Mr. Simpson, who so liberally catered to the public entertainment last year as director of this popular resort, has, during the recess, evidently devoted his utmost energies to the production of novel ties of a highly attractive character, and to the develop ment of arrangements calculated to meet the demand for amusement, so increased by the influx of visitors to the Great Exhibition. Extensive improvements have been effected for the accommodation and enjoyment of the public. Much will be found that will suit the admirer of the picturesque, and amuse those who seek the more exciting pastimes, while, for the mere sight-seer there are the Bushmen of South Africa and other objects of curiosity, enough no doubt to satisfy his taste. A circus is in course of erection on the grounds, and M. Franconi, of the Cirque Nationale, is understood to be engaged during the season. The brothers Elliott, of gymnastic fame, are to exhibit feats of summersault, barrel-dancing, aphere•vaulting, &c., and the Ethiopians and other popular favourites are to exercise their vocal and instrumental powers. The entertainments to-night open with a " grand gala," called the Feast of Roses, illustrative of Moore's " Lelia Rookh," a concert, and a new fairy ballet, entitled the Star of Beauty. A band of 80 instrumentalists, conducted by Borini, is engaged for the lovers of dancing, and a pyrotechnic display is to conclude the amusements of the day. Those familiar with these grounds will find that the maze has been re moved, in order to make room for the circus, to the other side of the bridge, where a new and larger one has been planted. A private view of these preparations was afforded on Saturday to a party of about fifty gentlemen, whom Mr. Simpson entertained at seven o'clock to a sumptuous dinner, worthy the renown of the celebrated h ost o f t h e Albion. Universal admiration was bestowed upon a turbot of extraordinary magnitude, which rivalled in size that famous fish of Ancona, the "spatiumalmirabile Rhombi," immortalised by the Roman satirist as having been pre sented with senatorial solemnity to the last of the Twelve Camara. Grouped near the host were Messrs. Richard son, O'Dowd, Martin, Greene, Foster, Sterling Coyne, Denison, Timms ' Swift, B. Hughes, &c. ; a n d t h e vice chair was amply filled by the Lord Chief Baron Nicholson. Grace h aving been said, and the usual loyal toasts drunk with affectionate enthusiasm, Dr. RxcuanDsoN proposed the health of the esteemed chairman, observing that, although the Crystal Palace was almost monopolising public attention, be felt con fident that Cremorne Gardens would not fail to attract a large amount of popular patronage. Prince Albert and Mr. Paxton were levying contributions with extraor dinary skill and facility, but he would predict that Mr. Simpson would come in for a fair proportion of the " ready." Drunk with loud cheers. Mr. SIXP3ON returned thanks in an able as well as a spirited and feeling speech, which was interrupted by frequent applause, and concluded amidst hearty cheers and congratulations. The VICE-PRESIDENT, in felicitous terms, proposed " The Press." Mr. MARTIN, being unanimously called upon, re sponded to the toast. It was always a pleasing duty for the journalist to give legitimate encouragement to meri torious exertions, and Mr. Simpson's antecedents afforded fair promise of his deserving the support of the organs of public opinion. —(Applause.) Mr. 0. Down rose to give the health of the extensive Vice, so widely known as the talented and learned dig nitary who presides with unqualified applause on the great Vespertine Tribunal.—(Cheers.) Chief Baron Nrclionsorr expressed his acknowledg ments in a discourse replete with pathos and dignity. He took occasion to comment in a strain of great luci dity on the several features of attraction presented in the Cremorne Gardens' programme. He modestly al luded to the increasing success of Nicholson's Newspaper, the enly journal that foretold Nancy the winner of the Chester Cup and subsequently winner of the York and Ainsty Hunt Cup; and trusted that he might see many of the faces around him on Wednesday next in his mag nificent booth opposite the grand stand.—(Lively marks of adhesion.) About ten o'clock the pagoda and concert-room were lit up to give an idea of the effect produced by the rose. lamps, which is one of a most pleasing novelty; after which several of the guests returned to pass the re maining hours of the week in harmonious divan, enjoy ing the fragrance of the Indian weed and the union of the tears of Cognac) with the frigid lymph. At midnight, or thereabouts, the party broke up, much impressed by the tasteful and liberal hospitality of Mr. Simpson, by whose provident care vehicles were in waiting to deposit them at their respective homes. CAPTAIN SOMERSET IN THE HOUSE 01? CORREC TION.- Since Captain Somerset's committal for assaulting a police-constable in the park he has been visited, per favour of the Middlesex magistrates, by a great number of the nobi lity and gentry, and by his lady, Mrs. Somerset. Among the visitors on the first day was the Duke of Buccleuch, the Mar quis of Stafford, Lord Mulgrave, and ; several officers of the regiment to which Captain Somerset belongs. Strenuous efforts have been made by the friends of Captain Somerset to obtain a remission of the punishment, and a petition was forwarded to the Home-office on his behalf; in fact, every possible influence was used to relieve the prisoner, from in carceration in a gaol. On Thursday evening Sir George Grey's private secretary waited upon the prisoner, and in formed him that, upon a careful review of all the facts of the case, and after reading the evidence at the Marlbo rough-street Police-court, Sir George ,Grey was of opinion that he could not, consistently with his duty, advise her Majesty to remit any portion of the sentence. Captain Somerset, who had hoped from the powerful influence of his titled friends that his imprisonment would have been commuted into a money fine, was very downcast on hearing the decision. On Friday and Saturday the visitors were very numerous, and comprised peers, M.P.'s, colonels, cap tains, and others of wealth and station. There were six carriages at one time outside the House of Correction with visitors for Captain Somerset. All the visiting orders were marked upon the corner " special," and were issued by Mr. Whisk* one of the visiting justices. By the regulations of the gaol, no person under sentence of imprisonment can be visited by any friend or relative until he has been incar created for three months, except by a special order from a magistrate, and they are very rarely issued, and only in zases of great emergency, such as the illness of a prisoner or the death of a relative without the walls. Captain Somerset's visitors during four days amounted to upwards of 100. He wears the prison clothes, and subsists on the prison diet, and so fares in that respect the same as any other inmate of the gaol. " Penny Reading Rooms" have, within the last few days, been opened in Cheapside. They present a supply of newspapers, including the London daily journals, th e leading Parisian and German, as well as the English, Scotch, and Irish provincial newspapers. This extensive selection the visitor is entitled to peruse on payment of the ♦ery tridiug charge of one penny The Risorginzento of Turin states from Rome, under date of the 6th :—" The day before yesterday was the anniversary of the French Republic. The Pontifical Government had begged General GEMEALT not to celebrate it with too much magnificence; there was, consequently, only a review. Some quarrels took place in the evening between the French and Pontifical soldiers, in which there were some killed and wounded. Several arrests have taken place. It is said that all the French troops are to be sent from Rome." The Risorgimento of Turin of the 13th, states from Ferrara that several detachments of Austrian troops have lately arrived in that town from the Ve netian states. Letters from Florence of the 9th, in the Risorgi mento of Turin, state that several persons, among whom was Count PIETRO GUICCIARDINS, have been arrested at Florence by the police. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Beethoven's great work, Fidelio, is announced for to morrow. The lovers of the highest school of dramatic music can thus no longer complain that their tastes are continually postponed to the more popular claims of the modern F renc h an d I tal i an composers. It will introduce to our amateurs, in Malibran's great part, a new ta l ent, which seems to have taken the critical public of Paris by storm—that of Sophie Cravelli. She made her debut there in Verdi's opera of Ernani, and it is thus that one of their leading journals speaks of this rising star:—" Never did debut excite more sympathy and more interest. There was at first an agitation mingled with surprise. People wondered by what strange hazard so fine a talent as a singer, so great power as a tragedian, had been pro duced almost unlooked for—at the last moment—and without any of those announcements which precede the most ordinary celebrities. The affiche had been of a rare modesty, the press had maintained a prudent re serve. At first the audience accordingly hardly ven tured to give themselves up to all the enthusiasm which they felt gaining on them. But the doubt was not of long duration, and before the debutante had finished her cabaletta frantic applause burst from every quarter of the house." ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Der Freischutz was given on Saturday evening with no less than three novelties in the cast. Tamberlik re placed Maralti as the Giulio, Tagliafico took Massol's old part of Chiliano, while Madlle. Bertrandi was sub stituted for Madlle. Vera in the Annetta. Madlle. Ber trandi acted with great archness and a degree of naive coquetting which told well with the house, while she sang the music of the score conscientiously and textually. Altogether her debiit was a decided suc. cess. Agata is one of Madame Castellan's best parts, and she sang it with her usual faci lity of attack and brilliancy of execution. Tamberlik's voice, which was in the opening scenes somewhat un steady, speedily worked up and mellowed out, and he gave the music with a fervour, and energy, and an evi dent appreciation of its beauties, which is not always evident in Italian renderings of German composition. The immortal aria " Par i boschi "—" Through the forest "—was sung with intense feeling, and was loudly redemanded. Tagliafico gave the music of Chiliano with his usual vigorous certainty of intonation and in terest. Formes aas the Caspar, and played and sang the character as he alone can do. His dying scene was a startling bit of semi-demoniac acting. The opera went, chorally and orchestrally, without a hitch. Her Majesty was present throughout the performance.

The dead markets being tolerably well cleared of their last week's arrivals, and the attend ance of buyers on the increase, the Beef trade ruled steady, and a good clearance was effected, at an advance in the currency of this day se'nnight of quite 2d per Blbs. The primest Scots sold at from 3s 6d to 3s 8d per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, Devons, Herefords, and Short horns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, chiefly by railway, 360 horned end polled Soots, in excellent condition. The remainder of the supply was derived from the neighbourhood of the metro polis. There was a considerable falling off in the number o f Sheep, yet it was good, the time of year considered. For all breeds the inqury was somewhat active, and prices advanced from 2d to in some instances 4d per 81bs. The very primest old Downs realised 3s 10d to 4s per 810. Lambs came freely to hand; nevertheless, the demand for that description of Stock ruled firm, at a rise 10 prices of quite 2d per Blbs. The highest quotation was 5s 10d per 81bs. A trifle more money was paid for the best Calve s; but inferior qualities of Veal ruled inac tive. The demand for Pigs was heavy, at almost no minal currencies.

Although the attendance o buyers has bees extensive, the biddings have been lea Per Ton. CORN EXCHANGE —(MONDAY.) Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very moderately supplied with home-grown Wheat, for which the demand ruled steady at, iu some instances, an advance in the quotations of is p er q uarter. Foreign Wheats were held at very full prices. In Barley and Malt comparatively littlo business was transacted, at previous currencies. The Oat trade ruled firm at 6d per quarter more money. Beans commanded more at tention, but all other articles were neglected. Letters from New York to the 7th instant state that Flour had fallen 35 cents Der barrel ; yet the sales for export had been small. Wh ea t h as so ld freely in the Black Sea markets; but the business doing in that grain up the Baltic is small. The French markets are steady for Flour. Up to our market, last week, the receipts of Englis h Grain were limited. From abroad we received 14,831 quarters of Wheat ; 12,179 Barley; 29,353 Oats; 61 ,., Beans; 136 T ares; 136 Li nsee d ; 1,094 R apesee d; 16 2 sundry Seeds; 6,581 sacks, and 565 brls Flour. Rather an i ncrease d supply of Wheat was reeeirea fresh up to thi s market coastwise from Essex and Kent , but that from Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., was very moderate, though in good saleable condition. By land carriage th e receipts of that grain were by no means extensive. Not withstanding th at t h e show of samples of both re d ai 3 u white was comparati ve ly sma ll , t h e d eman d f or all de scriptions, owing to the limited attendance of both toil and country buyer s , an d the large quantities of Fre" Flour on offer, was i n a sluggish state. In the quote- Lions, however, we have no change to notice. Prior :1 the close of business n ear l y the whole of the supply been cleared off. From the east coast num erous offe, came to hand, but at prices too hi g h t o mee t th e vie the millers; consequently very little business w as dolag for forward delivery. With foreign Wheat we were well supplied, cbied7 ex-granary, as several of the cargoes at hand last pee r have gone direct into the hand s o f th e m ill ers. Selecte d samples sold to a lair extent, at full c urrenc i es . In " middling and out-of-condition qualities very little " 5 doing, but the importers were not sellers on low er term a. Offers have reached the market from Dantzic to obi Wheats on lower t erms . I n fl oat i ng cargoes o ff Fal mouth very few transactions took place. The show of Daglish Barley was unusually small" that of foreign extensive. Good feeding and dtotilling qualities moved off freely, at full quotations. In 0 3515• ins parcels very little was doing at late rates. Notwithstanding that the supply of Foreign Oats has again large, that article moved off steadily, at fa' quotations. English Oats were held f or rat h e r 0: 00 money. Beans—the supply of which was small—advanced 1• per quarter, with a steady sale. In Peas we have no change to report; but hold er• were firm. Indian Corn and Flour moved off slowly; but we W e no change to notice in their value.
