The Nobility Subseribers, and the Public are respectfully informed that THIS EVENING, August 17, will be performed Rossini's cele orated Opera, versa' contempt and intolerable ridicule. Ask any dispassionate observer whether is dc thetaislenot of the once powerful party of Conservatism verable among those whoareprcoatlelecon called Peelites, Can eelites,o i r among those who are called there be any hesitation or uncertainty as to the reply? Is it not obvious , that with a few stray and eccen t r i c exceptions (like that of the nobleman christened by O'CONNELL " Hurdigurdy," or like the brilliant Member for Buckinghamshire, whom Punch seems to regard as the eloquent antithesis of 1-IAmrDEN), the talent of the Conservatives is almost concentrated among the Peelites. Even at the latest moment the more sensible of the supporters of Sir Ro- BERT have acknowledged their former errors of judg ment, and have come over to the side of Reform and Liberality as boldly as Mr. MONCKTON MILNES. There is no doubt that the courage evinced by the ex-Premier has materially emboldened the more timorous among the converts to the popular doc- ' trines, and there is no doubt, on the other hand, that the audacity of such adventurous spirits as Lord GEORGE BENTINCK has confirmed the obstinacy and deepened the obtuseness of his Protectionist brethren. Altogether, from these considerations we are satisfied that as the wiser members of the Conservative party have been guided to free trade by argument, so the more frivolous can only be convinced of their obsti- LA DONNA DEL LAGO.

Tickets, Stalls, and Boxes, at Cramer, Beale, and Co.'s, 201 Regent-street; and at the Box-office. Bow-street Doors open at Ilalf-past Seven o'clock ; the Opera to commence al Eight. In our observations yesterday on the Report of the Select Committee on our Commercial Relations with China, we stated the great falling off of our trade with that country, the ruinous losses suffered by our merchants on their dealings, and that these untoward results were not owing to any want of demand for our manufactures, or from the increasing competition of other nations. England, in fact, at this moment enjoys no less than four-fifths of what may be termed the legitimate trade ; the whole of the imports into CAN; r+ a ( . .,..sloLoi. o of opium) am nun tin g in value to 20,390,734 dollars, of which 16,073,682 dollars was the value imported in British vessels, 2,909,669 dollars in American, and 1,413,433 dollars only in the shipping of all other countries. In ad dition to this, the enormous sum of twenty three millions of dollars were estimated for the opium imported from British India on English or American account. The entire of this vast amount, exceeding 9,400,0001. sterling, has to be provided for at present by tea, silk, and silver—a hope is, how ever, expressed that sugar and China grass (as a substitute for hemp) may at a future period form important elements in the calculation. From the peculiar nature of the traffic in opium, it being to a certain extent unrecognised, and, there fore, a prompt settlement of all accounts respecting it being rendered absolutely necessary, the whole available silver is absorbed thereby, and consequently the legitimate traffic depends on our taking tea and silk in payment for our goods. Silk is at present moderately and fairly taxed in this country, and, almost as a natural consequence, the trade is steadily improving, the exportation thereof from China to England, in the year 1846, having amounted in value to more than 1,200,0001. It is, however, an article of mere luxury, and we cannot hope that a rapid increase of consumption will enable us to extend our transactions therein to an extent sufficient to counteract the influences we have already alluded to. To an increased consumption of tea, therefore, and to that alone, can we look for the means, not merely of extending, but even of main taining a profitable trade with China, and every con sideration urges us to adopt such measures as may tend to that result. It is scarcely necessary to dwell upon the reasons that render a general use of tea in this country in the highest degree desirable : it would provide the best remedy for the degrading vice of intoxication that is unfortunately too preva lent ; it would lead the hard-working artisan or labourer to spend his evenings in the bosom of his family in place of in the public-house or beer-shop; it would make him enjoy his home, where, with his wife and children, he might quaff the cup " that cheers but not inebriates," and thus increase the social and domestic happiness of the people in general; and, by interposing a guard against the demoralization and temptations to which a poor man is exposed while parta.lslo g abroad of unwbulesorno uud lotoxicatmg drinks, would materially lessen the amount of crime, and diminish the national expenditure in its most objectionable form—viz., police, prisons, penal settlements, &c. These reasons alone should be sufficient to induce our Legislature to spare no exer tions to attain so desirable an object. The Committee iustly state that it can only be effected by a consider able reduction of the present rate of duty, which, on Poor unfortunate Mr. SPOONER has had a godsend the average qualities of tea, amounts to over 200 per at the eleventh hour, and such a godsend as must cent., on inferior qualiti es t o 35 0 per cent. ; and, afford unspeakable gratifi ca ti on to the Honourable although it is not so stated by the Cwe Gentleman's friend s an d re l at i ons.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very fire]. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 500 were American on speculation, and included 3,800 American at 611. to lid. ; 400 Peruvian, at 74e1. to eicl. ; 200 Egyptian, a t *I. to 91d. ; 400 Surat, at 41d. to 51d. ; and 100 Sea Island, at 14d. to 15d. per lb. There was some im provement in Railway Shares, and a large business was expected to be done, but that the money market con tinued so extremely tight. North-Western and Midland were in good demand. An evidently interested party, who writes from 'Ha lifax, end is displeased that we do not incur the risk of publishing the names of firms in difficulties the moment such are spoken of, is mistaken if he fancies we shall gratify any such morbid curiosity. At best it is a pain ful duty to notice such matters in any shape, and we are not disposed to chronicle stoppages until confirmed on 'Change. It is quite sufficient for us to advise our readers at first as to thegeneral fact,leaving the rest for sub sequent substantiation, and affording the opportunity to any firm in difficulties to receive assistance, and make pri vate arrangem , lats. Indeed, there are many men of business in the City, with whom we have conversed, and who decidedly protest against this " gibbetting " at all, and as we usually receive the salutary caution from those who favour us with information, not to give names until fully ascertained that the house cannot go on, we shall endeavour, as heretofore, to merit the confidence reposed in us. An instance, in point, occurred but a week since in the corn trade. A house was reported to have stopped, and we noticed the circumstance on the same morning, with out giving names, a precaution which we had reason to congratulate ourselves upon, as the rumour was subsequently contradicted on authority, and the house, by assistance rendered, was enabled to go on, though events have again brought it to a stand. The late City Correspondent of a Morning Contem porary through a similar occurrence, and although the Ol'Change, involved th e j ourna l t' two or three compromised actions, t r it t oh i n e e s s were hesaou spoken diffiu I: expensef ° is the proof of what com mon rumour may assert. If there were any object to be gained by precipitate publication, some in ducement might exist, but there is literally none. The firm to which we alluded yesterday as having suspended at Antwerp, is that of Messrs. Frazer and Co., and the liabilities are said to be 60,0001 or 70,0001. Another word en passant for the Halifax speculator, who wishes us to take the glocmiest view of matters. A fortnight since " excellent paper" was discounted, as then as serted, under this head, at 51 and 6 per cent., and we saw it done. At this present time 6 to 6- is about the charge for first class bills, and of course higher for other descriptions, from which we presume our Halifax complainant takes his average as to the value of money. We feel that we have devoted too much space to the notice of these subjects, to which, however, we shall not again recur. The wool sales, which will continue until about the end of the month, are progressing much better than might be anticipated, taking into consideration both the tightness of the money market, and the quantity put up. It may be hoped that the " fall" trade with America, which promised to be extensive, although it is difficult to say whether the heavy corn failures, expected in New York, may not somewhat mar the prospect, will keep our manufacturing interest in tolerable activity, though the high price of cotton sadly interferes with the profits. The expectation seems to be that not only the next but also succeeding steamers will take out bullion. The English stock market has been very quiet, but further money sales have depressed prices, and thrown some gloom over it, because, according to the reports in circulation, the sales are making for the Bank of England. Consols have chopped from 87k to 864 for present transfer, and from 87k to 86, 1 3 - for account. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents, are 89k to 884 e India Stock, for account, has been at 239. The Reduced Three per Cents, have realised 871- to 87k. In the Foreign Market there is no activity. Spanish Five per Cent. Stock has realised 203-, and Portuguese Four per Cent. 27. Mexican Bonds have improved to 18 , 3. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 56 to 564. Railway Shares have been without any general and marked variation, and the settlement of the account has occupied chief attention. Many lines are now quoted ex-dividend.

An abortive attempt had been made to assassinate General SERRANO by means of an infernal machine. There was again a talk of an approaching change of Ministry. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The announcement of the appointment of the Duke D'AUMALE as Governor-General of Algeria is con firmed. The KING signed the ordonnance of appoint ownt before his departure for Eu. His MAJESTY wished to appoint him Viceroy, but it was thought too dangerous a step to take at first, more especially in the present state of the public mind in France; therefore the Duke D ' AUMALE will, according to the Revue des Deux illondes, " be simply a Governor- General, placed, like every other public functionary, under the orders of a responsible Minister, and him self responsible for his acts." Knowing how unpo pular this appointment will be in France, the Revue, which speaks from the inspiration of M. GUIZOT, endeavours, by way of a diversion, to excite the Anglophobia of the French, by declaring that the appointment will give umbrage to England, and that after the marriage of the Duc DE MO:NTPENSIER it is the most hardy act of M. GuizoT's policy for some time. We do not agree with the Revue on this point. M. GUIZOT was much more hardy when, in the case of M. DE GIRARDIN, he read from the tribune a private letter and betrayed a confidence, to put down a political opponent. lie was much more hardy when from the tribune he boasted how adroitly he had " fenced" with truth in his interviews with the Marquis of NORMANDY. He is much more hardy in refusing all investigation into the charges of corruption brought against himself and his colleagues. We believe that this attempt to render palatable a most unpopular appointment, by endeavouring to excite a jealousy of England, will fail. Instead of the false and hollow entente cordiale between the two Courts, we have an entente coraiale between the people of the respective nations, who will no longer suffer themselves to be the dupes of a designing intriguer. France and England have ceased to be each other's Mrs. GRUNDY, and if the appointment of the Due D ' AUMALE is contrary to the interests of France, the nation will not submit to it one jot the more readily because M. GUIZOT, speaking with his usual regard to truth, may choose to represent it as likely to give umbrage to England. The Commerce says that the DUKE will set out forthwith for Algiers, to be installed in his new dignity. He will be accompanied by two Lieute nant-Generals and a brilliant staff. His Royal Highness has announced his resolution of retaining the services of Lieutenant-General BEDEAU, as he re gards the General as his first and most essential auxiliary in the administration of the colony.

In allusion to the scene with DE BEAUV-ALLON on the previous day, the President, in summing up, made the following observations :—" It was not without emotion that we yesterday heard the man who appeared before the Court at Rouen, to answer a most serious accusation, and who may eventually have to answer another ac cusation of an equally serious character—it was not without emotion that we heard him say—' It is, then, a duel between M. BERTRAND and myself that you wish for.' No ! there can be no question of a duel here—no duel is possible with a man who, in a former meeting, has made use of arms which justice must characterise as fraudulent. Such a man as this does not deserve an honourable adversary, and men may henceforth refuse to accept any provocation from him without the lea.* Olin upon their honour." The Prince DE JoiNvivislitanded at Toulon on the 11th, and set off immediately for Paris. His health has suffered so seriously, that he has been obliged to give up the command of his squadron, and place himself under the care of Baron PASQUIER, the chief surgeon of the KING. The Baron MARTINEAU DE CIIENEZ, Under- Secretary of State for the War Department, is to be appointed Vice-President of the Cour de Cassation in the place of M. TESTE.

This theatre was crowded last evening to witness the debi2t of the Keeleys. It is, we believe, their first appearance on this side of the water. The first piece was The Governor's TiVe, in which the Hickory Short of Keeley was superb, and the Letty Briggs of Mrs. Keeley the ne plus ultra of amusing vulgarity. Then came the End of June (the Lyceum version of the old farce of Thirteen to the Dozen), in which Keeley appears as the tailor (the character originally sustained by Liston), and then the Miser's Well. The evening's amusement concluded with Buckstone's drama of dynes de Vere. The house was crowded in every part ; and the engagement of the Keeleys, who were received throughout with genuine hearty Surrey applause, will prove lucrative to the ma nagement. VICTORIA THEATRE. Wilks's drama of Grace Gray was revived here last evening, and Miss Vincent, as the heroine, pro duced quite as thrilling an effect as she did in the same play some four years since, on its first production ; and we have no doubt but that this revival will have a run. A drama, entitled The Queen of Poland, followed; and the performances concluded with. the burlesque of Fayre Rosanzonde, in which Forman, who is now a member of the Victoria company, ke the audience i n a roar. The house was well a pt t tended. CREMORNE GARDENS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Green again ascended from these gardens in the great Nassau balloon. The balloon having been inflated, and the usual preparations made, Mr. Green started on his aerial trip.

Hinton Smith declared that he could no longer conscientiously use the pr a y ers appointe d i n our Ch urc h serv i ce f or a time of dearth and famine, and substituted, after the general one, the thanksgiving for plenty. The former prayer, however, is still persisted in in many churches ; an anomaly which ought, I think, at once to be rectified. —Plymouth Times. The Pr es t on Pil ot mentions an instance of one of the electors t having b een b ribed with a " Bank of Ele gance note ! The Swiss Diet was occupied on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, in discussing the propositions of the Com mittee relative to the dissolution of the Catholic League. We have already published these proposi tions. The Deputies of the Catholic League sur passed all their former sayings in the violence of their language. The propositions, however, were carried by a majority of twelve States and two half States. The following were the votes : FOR Zurich, Soleure, Schaffhausen, St. Gall, Argau, Tessino, Geneva, Vaud, Thargau, Grisons, Glaris, Berne, Basle (country), and Appenzel (outer). As a specimen of the spirit by which the Sonder bund, or Catholic League, is actuated, we may mention that, according to the new constitution, which the members of that League have proclaimed in the can ton of Valais, Protestantism is not henceforth to be even tolerated in the cantons, and the refusal of the Diet to sanction this intolerance is complained of by the Sonderbund as a grievance. The liberty which they desire is the liberty of persecution. Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived.

OLD COURT: George Dickens, a respectable looking young man, described as a chemist, aged 20, was charged, on remand from the last sessions, with stealing Si. and upwards from a dwelling-house in which he was a lodger. Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner. It appeared from the statement that the prosecutor, Mr. Arundel, a linendraper, carrying on business in Bristol, occupied apartments in the house of a person named Robinson, in a street in the neighbourhood of Regent-street, during a short stay in London in June last. The prisoner occupied an apartment next to the prosecutor's, and the brother of the landlord of the house lodged with him. On the 16th of June the prosecutor found that a carpet bag, in which he kept some law papers and a considerable sum of money—but he could not tell the exact amount, he believed about 451., amongst which there were three country bank notes—suddenly disappeared ; and the prisoner was proved to have a good deal of money in his possession. It appeared that he had placed 31/. in the hands of a person to take care of for him, and 9/. in the hands of another. It was further proved that up to the 16th the prisoner had been much in want of money, and that he had sold several articles of clothing for a few shillings, at the time the prisoner absented himself from his lodgings, and visited Gravesend, Rich mond, and other places. Witnesses having proved these facts, Mr. BALLANTINE elicited, in cross-examination, that two young women occupied one of the rooms of the prosecutor; one left before the 16th, and the other remained a week after; and he commented upon the fact that the prosecutor was living on intimate terms with one of them, on his own admission, and as no communication took place between the prisoner and the prosecutor, was it not very probable that the fe male so corrupted knew perfectly well that the money was in the bag, and might not one or the other of them have been instrumental in removing it, for when a woman's body was corrupted, her mind frequently became corrupted also. the prisoner was in the hab tof leaving home for a few days at a time ; and at the time in question he merely went to Gravesend, and returned a day or two after. Yet neither of the young women were called, though they were important parties in the case, and though the prosecutor had gone to fetch one of them, a young woman named Hall, who had been in the service of the prosecutor. No notes were traced to him, and it was to he assumed that he left 311. in sovereigns in the hands of a friend, and that he took these local notes to Gravesend, the least likely place where notes of such a kind would be available. The evidence was not sufficient to convict the prisoner. The prisoner's step father, a Mr. Fulston, a miller of Derby, stated, about eleven weeks ago he sent the prisoner three five-pound notes, and about a fort night before two ten-pound notes, to fit him out for a situation that he stated he was was going to take. In cross-examination he stated he was not sen tenced to nine months' imprisonment in Derby Gaol— he was imprisoned nine months' in Southwell Gaol— he and others were charged with robbing a small sum of a person in a public-house —was net aware that his wife had been called " Devonshire Bess." Re-examined —The prisoner's mother had an an nuity of 401., and she was in the habit of sending him money. The imprisonment took place some time be fore his marriage. There was not the slightest truth in the imputation that his wife had kept a brothel at Grantham. (The witness burst into tears on being asked this question.) By the RECORDER—Earned a guinea a week in June and July last. Sent the money to the prisoner out of money he had saved from his business, which he gave up four years before. Did not keep it in any bank during the time ; it amounted to 60/., 231. of which remained. His wife carried on the business of a milliner and dressmaker,. and they earned enough to live upon. The jury ultimately found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence deferred. - THE FATAL DUEL, AT CAMDEN-TOWN. The trial of Lieutenant Munro will take place to morrow morning. 3` dii 13% NEW COURT.

The August adjourned sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, before the Assistant-Judge and a full bench of magistrates.

IMPORTANT TO LOAN SOCIETIES. —Thi s insolvent, who had carried on business as a painter in Great Chart-street, Hoxton, came up on his interim order. Mr. T. B. HUGHES appeared on behalf of the St. George's Loan Society, Shoreditch, to oppose, on the ground that the insolvent had become security for a lean when he had no reasonable means of payment ; that he had vexatiously defended an action, and had concealed his property. The insolvent said that he was to have had the money, arid the borrower was only to lend his name ; but when the money was got he kept it. His HONOUR said that that was not becoming secu rity for another, and therefore the first point of oppo sition failed. Mr. HuGuEs said there were no less than seven loans obtained in two months, and when that from the St. George's Loan Society became due, defendant was sumniened, and defended the action in the Tower Hamlets County Court. His HONOUR said nothing appeared to show that it was a vexatious defence, and he could not hear the case of other creditors to make out that of the one opposing. - Mr. - HUGHES pursued the examination, but at length sat down, observing, that with his Honour's opinion being so much against him, it was useless to carry the examination further.
