ITALIAN OPERAS AT THE THEATRE ROYAL. — Last night the first of the operas to be given at this theatre commenced with Rossini's favourite opera " Setniramide," the character of the impassioned Babylonish Queen being allotted to Madame Grisi. The other characters were well cast, and as a whole the opera was a " success." The house was tolerably filled by a fashionable and highly interested audience, who testified the delight they experienced by frequent and well-timed applause. So many efforts have been made for the purpose of gratifying the musical taste of the Liverpool amateurs, which have resulted in only partial success, if not absolute loss, that the favourable opening of the present attempt is the more welcome. Whether we re gard the fame and talent of the individual artistes, or refer to the general merits of the troupe, together with the efficiency of the orchestra and chorus, the effort must be ad mitted to be a great one, and as such, we trust, will meet with a becoming share of patronage and reward. This evening the performance is to consist of Bellini's celebrated " Sonnambula," and the other operas selected for performance are of the highest order of excellence. THE SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY gave a public rehearsal of Mr. Hackett's new Oratorio, " The Passage of the Red Sea," in Clayton Hall, on Tuesday evening. The performance met with a warm reception throughout, and two of the chorusses were enthusiastically encored. The piece was produced under the superintendence of its composer; Mr. Hackett, himself, presiding at the organ. Mr. Saunders acted as conductor. AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, Madame Celeste and Mr. B. Webster have concluded their temporary engagement, having appeared each night during the past week. The leading piece in their round of entertainments has been the new drama, "Janet Pride," a fearfully acted and revolting piece of melo dramatic art. Its situations and incidents are of the most harrowing character, without, as far as we can perceive, having even the intention of inculcating a healthy moral or a useful lesson. Intense scenic excitement seems its only aim, and that has been fully achieved by the acting of the leading parts. The same artistes are to appear during the present week at the Royal Amphitheatre. AT THE ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, the English Opera Com pany have been performing throughout the past week to tolerably good and enthusiastic audiences. The pieces have been chiefly those performed during the preceding week. ZOOLOGICAL OABDENS.-ROYAL OAK GALA. - The attractions of this interesting place of recreation and instructive amusement continue to draw large crowds of visitors. On Monday next there is to be a grand gala at the Gardens, given by the committee and members of the Royal Oak Society, who, we understand, are using every exertion in their power to render the monster gala unusually attractive. They seem resolved to make it the greatest festival that has been held for years, and for this end, regardless of expense, they have engaged several artists of extraordinary talent, from various parts of England, who will come to Liverpool expressly for the occasion, and appear on that day only. In the mean time, the spirited proprietor, Mr. J. Atkins, whose per severance and exertions to entertain and accommodate the public have been beyond all praise, is making every necessary preparation for the comfort and convenience of the visitors. The fire-works are to be on an unwonted scale of magnificence and grandeur ; several extra marquees and refreshment bowers will be erected in the gardens, and the whole of the refresh ment department under the able superintendence of Mr. W. Holt, who, for several years, has given the most unlimited satisfaction. Should the weather prove fine, we have not the slightest doubt that the number of visitors will exceed those on any former occasion, and that each will enjoy a day of real pleasure, and return home perfectly satisfied. ARRIVAL OF THE EAGLE FROM MELBOURNE. — The Aus tralian clipper ship Eagle, Captain Murphy, belonging to the " Eagle Line " of Australian packet ships, arrived in Liver pool on Sunday, about 11 a.m. The Eagle has on board about 44,000 ounces of gold, valued at about £175,000, on freight, besides a large quantity in the hands of passengers. The Eagle sailed from Melbourne on the 31st of May, and her dates of intelligence have, consequently, been anticipated. The Essex, for London, sailed on the 3d ; the Boomerang, for Liverpool, on the 7th, and the Northumberland, for London, on the 12th of June. The Eagle had light winds during the early part of her voyage, and was detained eight days off Cape Clear. On the 20th of June, when in lat. 56'35 S., lon. 1'33 W., she saw two large icebergs, and on the 24th saw two more ; on the 21st July, in lat. 24 S., lon. 26'40 W., she spoke the Boomerang, from Melbourne to Liverpool, remain ing three days in her company. The Eagle crossed the Equator on the Ist of August. In addition to the gold already mentioned, and a valuable cargo, the Eagle brings the following cabin passengers, viz.—Capt. Geo. W. Cole, M.L.C., lady, five children, and two servants • Mrs. Cauty and child, MissMcCrae, Mrs. Miller, Col. Beresford, : Messrs. Henry Beres ford, Sam. Prenell, Henry Prince, Wm Prince, and Jas. Brown. Besides those named, there were also 25 fore-cabin and 65 intermediate passengers. On their arrival, the passengers presented Captain Murphy with two written testimonials, expressive of their high sense of his urbanity and kindness ; as well as in approval of his skilful seamanship, and general attention to their interests and comforts. It is satisfactory to know that no death or case of sickness occurred on board the Eagle, either on her out or homeward voyage. T HE WATERPROOF TWEED CLOAK, From 9s. 9d. NEW AUTUMN MANTLES NOW READY.

YESTERDAY the important intelligence was received that, after a siege of about eleven months, and for the magnitude of the operations perhaps the most memo rable in history, the fortress of Sebastopol, the strong hold of the Russians in the Crimea, had fallen into the hands of the Allied forces. The news has come in an official despatch from General SIMPSON to the Minister of War, so that there can be no mistake about it. It appears, from the brief account received, that, on Saturday night, after the loss of the Malak-- hoff, the Russians evacuated the whole of the south side of the harbour, having first exploded their maga zines and set fire to the town. They also destroyed all the ships excepting three steamers, and broke down the bridge which connected the north and south sides of the harbour. COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE. ONE of the chief reasons for which the privilege of limited liability was accorded to joint-stock compa nies, was the facility which would be afforded to mer cantile adventure, and the impetus which would be given to the employment of capital in opening up new channels for traffic and developing resources for which a certain amount of risk would necessarily be in curred. It does not appear, however, that very much has yet been done to render the new law available ; but this may be merely a question of time. Almost the first announcement was a new warehouse com pany for the sale of manufactured goods, but as this is a pursuit so efficiently carried out by private enter prise, there could not be much need of calling in the aid of the new law for the purpose. It is well known that while the colonies of Aus tralia constitute the great source of our supply of Foreign wool, the manufacturing towns of Yorkshire are the chief markets for its consumption, and yet, notwithstanding the fact that Liverpool enjoys greatly the pre-eminence in shipping, for speed, regularity, and capability, and is at the same time much nearer to the Yorkshire towns than London, the latter city has by far the great bulk of the Australian Wool Trade, the periodical sales reaching 80,000 bales, whilst those in Liverpool rarely exceed 10,000 bales. Indeed, so strong seems the current towards the Lon don market in preference to Liverpool, that thousands of bales imported here from Australia are sent by rail way to London as the better market, to be again sent a longer distance by railway to the Yorkshire mills. It appears strange that, on a bulky commodity like wool, the enormous expenses of transit for about five hundred miles by railway should be voluntarily in curred, when the same goods, if sold in Liverpool, might reach their destination in less than a hundred miles ; and the fact itself suggests an advantage to be gained, which would not only add materially to the c b o u n s s in id e e s r s ab o l f e vel.u°Ai advantages hi t ' o t t 1 71: a t d lio ven7u ' ;:r s “ . fr""A The anomaly to which we have referred can only be attributed to the enterprise with which the London merchants have, in a measure, forestalled the Aus tralian Wool Trade, and, by liberally embarking their capital, secured the greater part of the business to themselves ; so that the large quantities of wool they have to offer at their periodical sales, by attracting greater numbers of Yorkshire buyers, induces more competition. The London men have not, however, such magnificent vessels as those which sail from this port, nor have they the same regularity as is here en joyed by means of the " White Star" line and the " Black Ball" line, which perform their voyages to and fro twice a month, with unrivalled speed, and with almost the punctuality of a railway train ; whilst the manufacturers, in addition to higher prices, have to incur the additional expenses of the longer transit by railway. If, therefore, Liverpool does not enjoy the business in Australian wool which it is obviously to the advantage of both importers and manufacturers she should enjoy, because of being opposed by London capital, the remedy is plain, and suggests itself as a field for enterprise to which the energies of a com pany, on the principle of limited liability, might be profitably directed. For the operations of such a company to be'practi cally efficient, a capital should be raised sufficiently ample to secure, by prompt payment, all the wool available in Australia, and contracts for freight might be entered into with the several lines'of packet-ships upon terms mutually advantageous, so as to secure cargo for the vessels, and a regular supply of wool for the Liverpool market. The abundance of supply would induce a full attendance of buyers at the perio dical sales ; and, if the prices paid in London are remunerative with so many additional charges, the profits to importers in Liverpool must be still greater, and at the same time more advantageous to the manu facturers. Nor would the profits to the company, as importers, prove the only benefit to the carrying out of the enterprise, inasmuch as the trade of the port of Liver pool would be considerably augmented, in the increased receipts for Dock-rates, Town-dues, Brokers' commis sions, ships' freights, employment of porters, and other items which make up the profits of a trading commu nity. Liverpool ought to enjoy the great bulk of the business in Australian wool, of which she has been deprived by the more liberal employment of London capital ; and the way is open, by using similar means, which may, perhaps, best be effected by a company, as the capital required would necessarily be large ; but as so many parties would be interested in its success, the inducements for the formation of it are so much the greater. India offers another capacious field for embarking the capital of a joint-stock company, and rendering the new law available for extending commercial enter prise. The vast resources of that immense empire are capable of development to an almost indefinite extent ; and though London has long enjoyed the largest share of the traffic, owing to the operations of the East India Company, which was once a gigantic monopoly, there is no legitimate reason why Liverpool should not partake of the benefits in a far greater degree than she has yet done. There are many who look forward to India as a source whence much of our future sup plies of cotton may have to be drawn, and whence also we may at no distant time depend for tea, in addition to various other commodities, which railway extension in that country will tend considerably to increase ; whilst, as a market for our manufactures, Liverpool as a place of export has unrivalled conveniences. One of the most important means by which the trade with India might be largely extended would be the establishment of a line of packet-ships, which should leave this port at stated intervals, with the same regularity as do the lines of vessels to Austra lia, and possess similar advantages in capacity and sailing qualities. Regularity in departure would do much to ensure freight, while the same regularity in the supply of the markets in India would tend to improve the value of the trade, by removing a fertile source of loss from alternate glut and scarcity. If sufficient capital were devoted to the extension of the trade with India, Liverpool would soon prove a far more formidable rival to London, and full employment be found not only for all the docks on the Lancashire side of the Mersey, but also for the vast addition which will shortly be made by the amalgamation of the magnificent dock property which has just been purchased at Birkenhead. The rise of Liverpool in commercial importance has been signally rapid within the last few years, but its future growth will be still more so, if the suggestions which we have thrown out should be put into practice. LIVERPOOL AND BIRKENHEAD. The completion of the long-protracted negotiations for the purchase of the Birkenhead Dock property by the Corporation of Liverpool has been followed, almost as a natural consequence, by a proposal to incorporate the two sides of the Mersey, so that Birkenhead shall become an integral portion of the Borough of Liver pool. The subject had been incidentally mooted on previous 'occasions as a desirable consummation, but the initiative as a public question was taken at the monthly meeting of the Commissioners of Birkenhead, on Tuesday last. The chairman, Mr. JOHN LAIRD, entered at some length into what may be called the statistics of the question, the particulars of which we have given in another column, and moved the appoint ment of a committee to confer with the Town Council of Liverpool, which was agreed to, and on the follow ing day a similar step was taken at the monthly meet ing of the latter body. So far, therefore, the question is fairly before the representatives of the respective parties interested, and it remains to be seen whether the several committees will be able to agree upon a plan of details which shall prove mutually satisfactory. In the speech referred to, Mr. LAIRD sought to obvi ate the anticipated objection as to increase of rates by the statement that while all local rates in Liverpool were 4s. 41d. in the pound, they amounted in Birken head to 4s. 4d., leaving only a halfpenny of difference. This difficulty may therefore be said to be disposed of ; but the inhabitants of Birkenhead, whose interests are identified with the prosperity of the town, are anxious to ascertain what amount of benefit will be conferred by the proposed amalgamation, which is not equally attainable without it. Many of them feel, and very naturally so, that they are sufficient in numbers, wealth, and importance, to occupy an independent position, to be represented in parliament---a privilege which has been unjustly withheld from them---and to enjoy all the corporate honours of a borough ; though, by the way, they have not used the means within their power, by petitioning the Crown for a charter of incor poration, according to the provisions of the Municipal Corporation Reform Act. It certainly does appear an anomaly in local govern ment, that Salford, so little separated from Manchester, and in the same county, should be an independent corporation, returning its own members to the House of Commons, and yet that Birkenhead, in another county, under different jurisdiction in every respect, and divided from Liverpool by the broad estuary of the Mersey, should be incorporated with the latter town, and its identity destroyed by being merged into its powerful neighbour. Then comes the consi deration of the advantages to be acquired ; for if Birkenhead now suffers under a local taxation amount ing to 4s. 4d., its condition in this respect will not be amended by joining itself to a borough which pays a halfpenny more, with a prospect of increase should Parliament with ruthless hand seize upon the long cherished town dues. These are considerations which no doubt influence many ; nor will their objections be removed by the statement to which we have referred, responsibility of the township debt, which is very large, will chiefly affect the bondholders, who now get only two-fifths of the interest owing to them. In Liverpool, the objections to the proposal may not be so strong, because the effect will not be so palpa ble. It will be merely enlarging the boundaries of the borough, and admitting an additional number of Aldermen and Town Councillors into the Council chamber ; at the same time, perhaps, gratifying that sense of local pride which appreciates an augmentation of the town in population and resources. The debt of Birkenhead, supposing it to be assumed, will be but a small item in the gigantic liabilities of Liverpool, and make no sensible difference in the annual charge of interest. But great questions affecting the welfare of com munities, must not be discussed in the spirit of a nation of shopkeepers, and every point of difference weighed with sole regard to its pecuniary value. Liver pool has taken a wise and prudent step in the purchase of the Birkenhead dock property, because it has given her not only an interest in, but a direct controul over the vast capabilities for the accommodation of ship ping belonging to the port ; and the construction of the building and graving docks between Woodsid and Tranmere Ferries was also a most judicious pro ceeding, because it was the first step to restore that trade in ship-building which was lost to the port through the want of facilities for carrying it on. Bir. kenhead, with all her advantages in water-space for docks, was unable to render them available for want of sufficient capital or credit to effect their comple tion, o i n p:i a t a n ir d se only equallyLi ver h p e o r o hasowelb. powerful l been unavailablee n neighbour called f upon romt h ewho a m t s os c u ea p n p c supply si the t defect. Her advantages in other respects, as a town her out of the diffic u lty. Th ere are many reasons, no ; doubt, why the inhabitants of Birkenhead may prefer the dignity of being an independent borough ; but her resources are forestalled, for her debt exceeds her power of paying the interest, and hangs upon her as an incubus, which prevents the realisation of her assets. In union with Liverpool, all this may be ob viated, and the time not far distant when her many blank spaces will be covered with rateable property, and her well-designed ground plan of broad streets be filled up with the houses they were intended for. There appears to be a kind of lurking suspicion that, in the purchase of the Birkenhead Docks, Liverpool only intended to buy off what might prove a formidable rival in *the shipping business of the port ; but all such, fears will be set at rest if the proposed amalgamation be carried into effect. Liverpool, as the mighty mistress of British Com merce, will then be seated on both sides of the magnificent estuary, outrivalling the vaunted supe riority of the Metropolis. A community of interest will banish all feelings of jealousy, and the streets of Birkenhead be as much a part of the town of Liver pool as are those of Toxteth-park. There will be no more rivalry than there is now between the North and South End ; and as every improvement of Birkenhead will be an improvement of Liverpool— because the augmented receipts for rates will come into the common fund---there will be a direct interest in encouraging a residence in Birkenhead in preference to the suburbs in Lancashire, which are not within the Township boundaries. The negotiations between the respective parties should, therefore, be conducted on broader principles than mere reference to a balance-sheet of the several items which each will have to give or take. It will be just to neither to weigh the conditions upon the grounds of so much debt assumed, so much interest to pay, so much property to acquire, or such and such liabilities to incur. Birkenhead will, no doubt, gain a present advantage in the vast improvement of her trade, in the enhanced value of property, and in the speedy realisation of the many hopes which have so long been in abeyance. Liverpool, on the other hand, will gain ultimate advantages of not less value, and worthy of achievement, even at greater cost than [SEPTEMBER 11, 1856• _____---- all the bond debt of Birkenhea d.
